Cast: Two Human Archers, Three Human Pikemen, One Human Priest, One Human Medium Calvary, One Elf Swordsman, One Elf Archer V.S. Three Orc Heavy Calvary, Two Orc Swordsmen

The day was right for a battle that would change the face of the road that led to Thulus, Elf Leader Langer's Kingdom... would his group defeat the enemies that come upon his land?

Leader of the Human group known as Dio, who was the Human Medium Calvary unit, rode on his horse, holding his spear and shield. He looked upon the road, sensing trouble, as his horse neighed.

"What is it, Dio?" The Human Priest asked, walking up, in his yellow robe, holding his cane.

"My horse... it knows enemies are near, PREPARE TO ENGAGE!!!" Dio screamed at his group, as his Pikemen formed in front of them, aiming their spears. "Any reinforcements by any chance?"

The Human Priest brought up the two Human Archers as well, as he shook his head. "Nay sir, there is none that I know of, I doubt the Elf Clerics will come help from Toadwood if there is an invasion".

"LET US GET READY!" Dio prepared his spear, as he saw something on the road to the north "...ORCS!!"

Three Orc Heavy Calvary appeared from the north, all snorking and laughing. They each held an orcish blade, orcish shield, and were in orcish iron body armor with only their faces visible.

Two Orc Swordsmen also walked up next to them, each holding a sword and shield.

"...THERE THEY ARE" Dio shouted to the group, as he saw something appearing from the south east. "ACK! SOMETHING IS APPEARING!"

An Elf Swordsman and an Elf Archer appeared, they signaled to Dio, the archer screaming. "WE ARE FROM TOADWOOD SENT TO HELP!!!"

"VERY GOOD!" Dio screamed, preparing his spear. "ALRIGHT EVERYONE!!! REMEMBER WE HAVE TO BEAT THESE DAMNED ORCS!! LET US SMASH THEM AS AN EXAMPLE TO THE OTHERS!"

The two elves rushed up to the human group, while the orcs suddenly begin to charge at the Human Pikemen!!

"AIM!" Dio yelled, and then he screamed "FIRE!"

The two Human Archers aimed at the Orc Heavy Calvary and each unleashed two arrows, one missing and three hitting the Orcs in shoulder and leg.

The Orc Heavy Calvary growled, but still continued to charge like maniacs.

"PREPARE!!!" Dio charged at the one Orc Heavy Calvary, and stabbed it in the stomach with his spear.

The Orc Heavy Calvary counter slashed Dio with a brutal attack, as Dio fell backwards, with a bleeding head wound. "ARRGH!!!" Dio screamed, still falling backwards with his horse.

Dio then shook his head, and rushed at the Orc Calvary once again, stabbing it in the arm with his spear with a laugh.

The Orc Calvary shook the attack off, and stabbed Dio in the chest with it's blade, as Dio heaved his horse, having difficulty breathing.

His Human Pikemen rushed up to assist, as the same Orc Calvary slashed the one Human Pikeman with a wild clash, as he fell backwards, and then the Human Pikeman stabbed the Orc Calvary with it's spear.

The Orc Calvary jumped back, holding his wildly bleeding wounds, and growled at the Pikeman. Then the Calvary rushed at another Pikeman, slashing it on the arm, and then stabbing it through the chest, as that Pikeman knelt to the ground with a bad injury.

However, the third Human Pikeman known as Jacob, rushed up to the Orc Calvary and stabbed it through the stomach as it fell off it's horse, defeated.

Jacob gasped, and prepared his spear to attack anyone else.

Dio praised Jacob, as suddenly the second Orc Calvary rushed at Dio and cut his arm off, and then stabbed him through the stomach.

"NO!!!!!!!" Jacob screamed, as Dio fell off his horse, slain.

"OH... .... NO!" The Human Priest growled with fury, rushing up to the dead Dio.

The second badly injured Pikeman rushed up to the Orc Swordsman and stabbed it in the chest, as he was cut in half by the Orc's counter attack.

The Third Orc Calvary laughed loudly, and rode up to one of the Human Archer's, slashing him twice as he fell to the ground, dead.

At that very moment, one of the Orc Swordsmen rushed up to the second Human Archer, slashed it wildly twice, as the second Human Archer fell slain as well.

"ENOUGH OF THIS!!" The Human Priest shouted, aiming it's cane at the third Orc Calvary as a magic bolt was sent from his cane into the Calvary.

The Orc Calvary screamed in pain, holding it's chest and then grumbled, preparing it's sword for the slaughter.

Another Human Pikeman rushed at the Orc Calvary, and stabbed it with his spear, as suddenly the Orc counter thrusted the Pikeman at the throat, his head rolling down the hill, his body falling to the ground.

The Elf Archer nearby aimed it's bow at the Orc Calvary and shot two arrows, one hitting it, as the Orc Calvary begun to weaken, nearly dropping it's sword.

Jacob then rushed at the leader Orc Calvary and stabbed it right in the arm with his spear, swirling it, then stabbing it square in the chest, as he then jumped back.

The Orc Calvary spit blood all over, bleeding all over his armor and the ground with a loud scream.

The Third Orc Calvary and second Orc Swordsman surrounded the Elf Archer, slashing him wildly, as the Archer fell slain.

The First Orc Swordsman laughed, and rushed up to the Elf Swordsman, delivering a solid strike to his face, as the Elf Swordsman delivered a counter cut to it's chest. The Orc murmured, then unleashed a huge slash onto the Elf Swordsman, decapitating him.

The Four Orcs, and only Jacob and the Human Priest remained.... the road covered in blood and the bodies all around...

"NO MORE OF THIS!!" Jacob ran towards the Orc Calvary, and delivered a stab right through his head, as it fell dead, as Jacob rushed to the Human Priest to protect him.

The third and final Orc Calvary held it's wounds, then begun to charge at Jacob, with a loud cry it swung as Jacob, missing, as it was then impaled by his spear.

The Orc gasped, and fell off it's horse, dead.

"HA HA!!" Jacob laughed, looking at the final two remaining orcs. "YOU ARE DISGRACES! I WILL KILL YOU!"

The one Orc tackled into Jacob, as the second Orc rushed at the Human Priest, cutting him through with his sword.

"NO! NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Jacob screamed, throwing the Orc off of him, looking at the fallen Human Priest. "My friend!........ ...."

The orcs laughed loudly at Jacob, swirling their blades, preparing to kill him.

Jacob growled, and rushed at the second Orc, stabbing it through the stomach, then slashing it down.

Two combatants remained... the final orc growled at Jacob loudly, and begun to charge right at him.

Jacob swung to the side as the Orc missed an attack, as he sliced the Orc lightly with his spear, he heard the Orc grunt, and then the Orc slashed him right at the neck and chest as once.

Jacob fell to the ground for a moment, bleeding, but he grasped back onto his spear as the Orc screamed a huge warcry, thrusting it's sword up into the air then preparing to deathblow Jacob.

The Orc thrusted down it's blade, as Jacob swirled to the side, and impaled the Orc through the stomach with his spear.

The Orc bled, looking at Jacob, amazed. "You... YO...u...H...UMA..N..."

Jacob grabbed onto the Orc's blade, and swirled it to the side. "THIS IS FOR ALL MY FRIENDS", Jacob slashed at the Orc's neck with a quick cut.

The Orc's head rolled off it's head, as it's body fell.

Jacob knelt to the ground, holding his fatal wounds, then held his spear... looking at the sky. "...oh... I have defended the Elves and Humans with my life... thank you..."

Jacob laid on the ground for a moment, then crawled back to the Elf Village of Toadwood, luckily being fully healed, and survivnig.

After the land was placed in peace a year later, that battle was never forgotten by the Elves or the Humans who now lived in peace together... as Jacob was honored by Elf Leader Langer, as Jacob's children's children would always know their grandfather and great grandfather as a combatant of which was known in the land as... "The Battle of Valor".
