All Stories have lead to the gods, all back to the days that the gods walked the world, waged war and created what is today. they all tell of magic and heroes. A legend though has been lost in the years and the one story that proves it is all true-lost. Except one copy, the book of all, held by the king of the emerald hills. Protected by the king himself and he is the only one that may read what is written inside.

One day the king was interrupted reading these stories by a cry in the street below his window. He opened the window and watched the scene unfold below. The cry was coming fourth out of an old man whose beard stretched to his waist and had wrinkles in his face.

He was crying out “Dwarves of Emerald Hills Heed my warning For I bring grave news.” Many of the other peasants turned to look at him with a puzzled look written on their face. Soldiers started to move toward the old man for disrupting the peace. He Yelled then the last thing the king thought he would. “They have been released! The Demons, The zombies! The skeletons! They have been called!” With that, the soldiers pushed the old man to his knees. With a grunt, he muttered something as his legs hit the cobbles.

One of the soldiers grabbed the old man by the beard and pulled yelling “What did you say?”

The Old man then yelled so all could hear “ I am the a wanderer get your hands off me!” The soldier looked shocked for a few moments but then drew his hand back.

Before he could hit the man the king yelled out “Stop! Bring that man to me!” “yes, my King” One of the soldiers said with a salute.

In a few minutes, the old man was kneeling before the king. The king dismissed all that was present except the old man. Once all of the other dwarves had left, The king Knelt by the wanderer. The King whispered, “is what you say true, are they coming here?” All the man did is nod his head. and whispered back “so are the unknown” With a look of surprise the king gave the wanderer food and supplies. and sent him on his way.

All that night all the king could do is read from the book, the book that hopefully held the answer to this world crippling problem.
