Tales of Illdaera - part 1

When Alaris was young and the snows had only just stopped, there were wars. With the freezing cold gone, tribes expanded, each trying to lay claim to lands as they became fertile again. Tribes battled tribes, each trying to destroy or conquer the others.

Among them rose a young leader. Al was quick and deadly and alir people loved ali. Al would sneak into the camps of other tribes and leave marks on their leaders to show that al could have killed them had al chose. Many tribes joined the young warrior's tribe after such actions.

One evening this young warrior chose to sneak into the camp of the greatest tribe and show their leader that al could defeat them at any time. But the leader was wise and had expected the young warrior to try just such a trick. The leader had placed alir saddle and a basket under alir blankets and was sleeping in the corner of alir tent amidst some pillows.

When the young warrior knelt over the fake leader to leave a stone on alir chest, the wise leader leapt from the corner and grasped the warrior, calling for alir guards. The young warrior was trapped and yielded to the guards.

They kept the young warrior imprisoned for days. They sent runners to the warrior's tribe insisting that they yield or their leader would be slain. The tribe held back their response, trying to find a way to defeat the great tribe and save their leader.

Each day they held their reply, the great tribe visited a tribulation on the young warrior, then dispatched a messenger to the other tribe telling them what had been done. The first day they refused ali food and water, saying they would not give ali any until alir tribe surrendered. The young warrior simply smiled, telling them that al did not need the food or water.

The second day the great tribe's offer was rejected, they stripped the young warrior of alir clothing and took away all of alir bedding, forcing ali to sleep on hard, jagged rocks. The young warrior just smiled and thanked them from freeing ali from the bonds of alir clothing and for the perfect bed. It was not proper for a warrior to sleep softly when at war. The leader of the great tribe grew angry at this, but kept alir anger to aleself.

Tales of Illdaera - part 2

On the third day they bound the young warrior to a prickly tree. Barbs pierced ali, but al made no sound. The young warrior simply smiled and thanked the great leader for scratching alir back. The great leader grew angry and shouted at the young warrior, only just restraining aleself from drawing his weapon.

On the fourth day, as the great leader and alis warriors considered what to do with their prisoner this day, the young warrior looked nervous. Al glanced at the massive camp fire with trepidation. The great leader noticed this glance and knew what would be done.

"You fear the fire, don't you?"

"The fire?" asked the young warrior. "You wouldn't throw me into the fire! Please don't throw me into that fire!"

The leader laughed. "Throw ali into the fire! Keep ali there with your spears. When al has suffered enough, then let ali out."

And they tossed the young warrior into the fire. The warrior screamed in terror as the flames washed over ali Al continued to scream as alir bonds burned away. Cried pitifully as al gathered up burning brands. Al turned alir screams into a roar of anger as al burst from the fire slashing at the unprepared guards with burning staves. The young warrior laughed and called out to the leader of the great tribe as he fled the confusion of burning warriors and flaming tents.

"You have not been wise enough. You did not learn about me. You see, I am a warrior true. I stand at the forge every day, making the weapons that I wield in battle. The heat of your small fire is as nothing to me. I tricked you, and that should not have been possible. Soon you will yield to me and our tribes will be united!"

What the young warrior said was true. Less than a year later the great tribe submitted to the young warrior, who soon after led all of the tribes.

The greatest warrior knows not just how to fight, but who to fight. When to fight. Most importantly, a great warriors knows why al fights.
