The Peaceful Giant

Greyon Sat he was alone in the giant forest. He spent most of this time alone but he had was starting to hear of a blight on the land. His animal friends had stopped coming as often and worried that the world was in a bad place. His mind wandered back to when he was young. When the world was at a war that he had been convinced to fight in long ago.

He wandered the world looking for his place back then. He never found any others of his kind and felt lost. A clan of men had befriend him and when they fell on hard times he was tricked into thinking that another group was behind it. It was the only time in his life that he used his size to fight and it was his last. His striked had killed so many so fast. He could not bring himself to finish that fight like they had wanted and when he learned of lies that they men had used to get him to fight he left the world of men and came to live in the giant forest.

Now though so much life had be missing from the forest he had been wandering more around the forest. Getting closer to the edges of his realm to try and figure out what was going on. Today was the first time he found it. That blight that they called it was in the soil and and land and was killing it. He knew it would reach his home. For the first time in years he sat down to listen to really listen like only he could. He could feel the pain in the world and hear the calls of the leaders getting ready to fight.

The world will be on fire soon and I can no long stay and hide Greyon thought. He headed out of his forest and into the one outpost that might remember that he lived. He was hoping that the silvershield knights still stayed there. As he got closer he could hear the knight training he would find them that is for sure.

That night he had talked with a commander that filled him in on the fight that was to come. About the different sides and the magic that flowed through the land. New powerful leaders had stepped up and each seemed to be have powers that inspired their men or drove feat into the enemy. The commander had ask him to join up. Promised they would make weapons for him to wield but he had said no. Greyon knew that in the fight to come he would be needed but not to kill but to protect.

He set out early the next morning. He wasn’t sure where he was headed. Yet it was time to head out. He followed his heart as he had a feeling that a fight was coming. While he would not use his power to kill again he would protect those that he found worthy. He wondered just who he might find in this world he had be away from so long.
