It was a cool night in Delgulvia. Every thing was almost perfect, but something felt off.
Members of the Delgulvian army were pacing the borders and waiting for their time of rest to officially began. The overnight guards were beginning to doze off into the stygian darkness, but one guard stood wide awake.
This guard's name was Haltek. Haltek
sensed the uneasiness and began to prepare the torch to signal the other guards.
He neared the cauldron of oil and suddenly stopped. A chill began at the base of his neck and quickly spread across his frozen body. Slowly, Haltek turned around to be greeted by Mitrex Snow, leader of the Mogwals.
"Why hello there! I see you were attempting to signal Delgulvia of the Mogwal arrival. I would hate to be a party pooper, but I'd rather do it myself."
Just before Haltek could throw the flames to the oil, Mitrex's men stripped him of his weapons and armor. Mitrex snatched the torch from Haltek with such a force that it could shatter a brick wall.
"Ahh, now you're defenseless!! Nothing stands between you and this."
Mitrex gracefully unsheathed his sword. Not so gracefully Mitrex swung and Haltek's head was poorly removed from his body.
As blood was spurting everywhere, Mitrex Snow set the oil ablaze himself shortly followed by a bloodcurdling screech from Mitrex and the Mogwals.
Delgulvia was under attack.
