DAWN, the Ultimate Saga 014

"Silence, fool! Our king and the other priests are devout, and we prosper thanks to them…and to me, his chief, to whom he guarantees the support of the war gods. When I seek their aid, I bring him an ox or a fat pig, and it is done. " "Meaning the king does what you tell him?" "Enough!" cried the... Sign in to see full entry.

DAWN the Ultimate Saga 013

“Worry not, the Mutes have oxcarts. We shall go faster than them. And this night we will reunite with the four other clans. What do you think of that? " "Wonderful!" "Six clans in all.” (Ah, the chief had counted him, the boy, though alone, a clan unto himself! Perfect, so long as the other clans... Sign in to see full entry.

DAWN the ultimate saga 012

The chief was greatly touched by his decision. And so it would be; they would lead the attack together on the battlefront and neither would be frustrated by his desire for vengeance or show his virtues in combat. The young man would have, in fact, preferred to fight on his own, before the other... Sign in to see full entry.

DAWN, the Ultimate Saga 011

"Bathe it in enough enemy blood, and you may keep it!" The boy took it. His arm bent immediately under its weight -- how heavy it was! Heavier than two normal flints put together!

DAWN, the Ultimate Saga 010

They were made of metal, stone extracted from the belly of the earth and as strong, shaped under the force of fire – he was now sure of it. He was the only one of his clan to have seen the sorcerers melting it. He had learned after, during his tribe's wanderings, that it was used to make jewels. It... Sign in to see full entry.

DAWN, the Ultimate saga 009

He accepted the offer of a horse, however, with gratitude. All would be riding, and most importantly, the chiefs would be. Would he make the right impression? He had ridden on rare occasions and even then only briefly. Horses had been reserved for the clan's more experienced warriors. And yet, he... Sign in to see full entry.

DAWN, the Ultimate Saga 008

Had the horror of his hardship forever robbed him of this? A greater gift could not have been bestowed upon him; the prospect of... Sign in to see full entry.

DAWN, the Ultimate Saga 007

DAWN, the ultimate saga 005

He came back to the heap of corpses that had protected him. In the final assault the tribe had regrouped, making the last square around him. They had fallen on him, covering him and concealing him from the enemy's carving fury. In their frenzy, the cursed warrior had not taken the time to return to... Sign in to see full entry.
