       An Tús (The Beginning)
       By: Half-Blood Date: November 5, 2013, 10:56 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       In Nósparatis' great library there is a section off limits to
       all outsiders, hidden behind a bookcase, a section known only as
       "Before Time" however a Thelmorian researcher stumbled on to
       this section once and began to read the ancient scrolls.
       Hundreds of thousands of years ago before the passage of time
       was even recorded the Demon Fuil Agus Anamacha (Demon of Blood
       and Souls) took half of his awesome power divided that half
       equally into 10 beings of great power.
       Making all of them Immortal but in order to keep their other
       powers they had to consume the blood and souls of mortals, then
       known as Incolae this was before they split into Humans, Elves
       and Dwarfs, this is why Vampires can feed on all three.
       Before he left our world for the last time he named his children
       Cogadh, Malleolus, Klimek, Vullmar, Gézark, Drasgón, Dubh,
       Ghrian, Fuisce and Fuil Agus
       For thousands of years they watched, terrorized and fed on
       thousands of Incolae they saw Elves leave first and follow an
       almost religion studying magic. The Elves would split again some
       enjoyed fire more than the other forms of magic, these Elves
       became dark in appearance and built up a natural resistance to
       fire
       Some Elves took to the forests and learnt to use their magical
       abilities to manipulate nature and the forest creatures
       Some stayed their original course and mastered complicated
       spells and became powerful mages for good or ill
       A small group refused to accept magic so they called themselves
       "Orc's" and went off into the mountains and were never seen
       again for thousands of years
       A final faction liked magic but they also liked the traditional
       weapons they look almost human except for the pointy ears and
       bright green eyes, for some reason they call themselves "Blood
       Elves"
       About 900 years after the Elves split from the Incolae a group
       of miners started to dig into mountains they would dig for days
       motivated by pure greed. It soon got to the point where they
       would stay underground  hardly ever seeing the light of day,
       sometime after that they got the name Dwarfs it is unclear if
       that was a title given to them or if they bestowed it upon
       themselves.
       So it was that the last of the Incolae left living in the
       traditional way continued to look like their ancestors for many
       years eventually the name Incolae was changed to Human, none now
       remember where they originally came from, as far as they know
       they have always been different races.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The first to make a stand against the Vampires were the Elves an
       alliance of High Elf mages, Night Elf (Dark Elves) Pyromancers
       and Blood Elves. Altogether they numbered around 10,000 but the
       vast majority were inexperienced Blood Elves.
       The Vampires had an army of thralls (mortals they hard turned)
       they numbered around 4,500. The Vampires had a huge fortress
       with 82 feet (25 meter) hall walls and 3 levels all constructed
       into the mountain side. It took about 150 years to build the
       Vampires enslaved mortals to build it for them once they could
       no longer work due to injury they became food. Those who
       survived to the completion of the mighty fortress were allowed
       to leave and go back to their families.
       The Elves knew the only way to draw the Vampires out of their
       fortress was to challenge them at night, so they set out at
       midnight knowing it would take them hours to reach the fortress.
       They arrived with only 3 hours till dawn.
       The Pure Bloods knew they could defeat the 'army' from the
       safety of their walls, but they were Vampires, they were the
       apex predators and it was time the mortals learned their place
       again as the cattle, the prey.
       The massive wooden doors slowly opened and the 4,500 turned
       Vampires marched out the Elven army may have been mostly
       inexperienced however the Pure Bloods only turned the strongest
       and most experienced Warriors with the lure of immortality.
       The Blood Elves charged forwards, the front rank of Vampires
       raised their shields and defended the second rank thrust their
       long spear through the gaps and into the first line of Elves a
       hard twist to the right and pulled back out and the first line
       fell.
       The Elves backed off a step and the front rank on the Vampires
       thrust their swords forwards into the now front line of Elves a
       few managed to block but the inexperience was showing very
       clearly when suddenly there was a loud almost duck call and the
       Blood Elves separated and a barrage of fire balls came between
       them. The shields of the front rank began to glow red with the
       heat then bright orange, eventually the front rank had to drop
       their shields. That's when the Blood Elves charged in and the
       bloody battle commenced.
       The Night Elves were focusing all their magical energy to launch
       another volley of fireballs when 2 arrows came in at high speed
       and hit 2 through the throat, they looked out onto the
       battlefield to see if there were any archers that were not
       engaged in the battle when suddenly 2 more arrows came flying in
       and put 2 more Night Elves down.
       Standing on the roof of the top level of the fortress Drasgón
       and Ghrian were taking very careful aim with their long bows,
       they saw their targets and aimed up so as the arrow was on it's
       downward trajectory it would hit it's target, they drew their
       arrows back and released they watched the small gathering of
       Night Elves and saw 2 more fall, they then repeated the process.
       The battle lasted for almost 2 grueling hours and all the turned
       Vampires were dead however only 784 Elves were left, the Elves
       regrouped and stood outside the fortress waiting for Pure Bloods
       they were worried because dawn was fast approaching but they
       knew that if they could lure them out and catch them on the
       morning sun their problems would be over.
       The massive doors slowly creaked open and Cogadh slowly walked
       out holding his dual swords he was wearing shorts but no top to
       increase his speed, his slow ominous walk and his unblinking
       stare unnerved the Elves when suddenly the sunlight burst over
       the mountain range and shone down on them, Cogadh screamed and
       fell to the floor, the Elves slowly began to cheer when suddenly
       they heard a small laugh come from Cogadh's body slowly he
       lifted himself up to his knees still laughing, once on his knees
       his laughed turned into an almost uncontrollable evil laugh
       "Sorry but us Pure Bloods do not share the weaknesses of those
       we turn, sunlight has no effect on us" he said as he got back up
       to his feet seeing the Elves spirits crushed.
       Cogadh ran towards the Elves, the Elves took a few steps back
       shocked at his speed and courage, with a single jump he landed
       behind the second line and slashed up both sides slicing 2 Elves
       in half from the crotch up then spinning round 360 degrees and
       took the heads off the Elves closes to him and landed again and
       stood in the Scorpion stance. The Elves moves back quickly
       almost pissing themselves, in less than 4 seconds this Vampire
       had killed 12 Elves and was now stood there daring them to
       attack.
       When the Elves looked behind Cogadh they saw another 7 of the
       Pure Bloods walking towards them when 2 more arrows High Elf
       healers at the back fell with arrows through the throat.
       Vullmar and Dubh stood either side of Cogadh and Gézark with
       their swords and shields either side of them stood Klimek and
       Fuil Agus with their spears on each end of the line stood
       Malleolus and Fuisce Malleolus with his Warhammer and Fuisce
       with his long Greatsword.
       Cogadh turned and walked back towards the fortress and Dubh
       stood in his spot and turned around, Cogadh then ran for Dubh,
       Dubh crouched and Cogadh jumped onto his shield and as Cogadh
       jumped off his shield Dubh pushed and stood up. Executing a
       perfect double forward flip Cogadh landed in the middle of all
       the Elves bringing his swords down and slicing 2 of them in half
       as he landed.
       There was utter confusion in the Elven ranks with blood spraying
       as high as 8 feet (2.4 meters) into the air
       Gézark ran back towards the fortress and ran back and also
       jumped off Dubh's shield landed not far from Cogadh.
       Over half of the Elves scattered and ran for their lives the
       rest ran forwards and were killed by Dubh, Vullmar, Malleolus or
       Fuisce, sliced apart by Cogadh or Gézark or hit with an arrow
       curtsy of Drasgón or Ghrian.
       After the battle the Pure Blood stayed for a few hundred more
       years then moved on, the fortress still stands though these days
       it's in really bad shape, it can be found in the mountain ranges
       of Thelmoria.

       I know it's Helms Deep from Lord of the Rings but it's closest
       to what I was thinking of
