The story murmelon and jojo42014 vs. Arch-Ruin.

[murmelon]

It happened at the end of winter. It was about time for change, to get warmth, but the cold still firmly held the earth in its paws, preventing anything from growing. The war slow down, as if it had been there, but somehow in the distance, no one spoke about it, as if it had always existed. The two main coalitions of war in this world. The rulers were so accustomed to this enmity that they now felt almost like friends next to their enemies.
Tension hung in the air like a powerful electric charge that could explode at any moment and incinerate everything around. Even the monsters that have lived here since time immemorial felt this tension and hid in their lairs. Even the resources they had collected, the most valuable of all, the black pearls, were all but gone, and it became increasingly difficult for the rulers to find the pearls they so desperately needed to maintain the strength of their army, the well-being of the people, and pray to the gods for help.
It's time for a change, but even I didn't expect the news brought by a hasty envoy from General Jojo's lands.

I was in my office thinking about the state of the land, about the course of the fighting, when he was brought to me. The message was clear and not ambiguous. General Jojo's explorers have discovered the lair of the most ancient race in the world. Not just a ruined fortress, but a huge castle full of legions of monsters.

It was necessary to take action, a council was convened to clarify the battle strategy, which units to go on a dangerous mission, what spells are needed to deal with hordes of monsters and defeat their Master.

The Allied troops went first, they still had a way. Soon my troops joined them.

Less than half an hour of intense waiting. The fight was bloody. Both sides made many sacrifices, there was even a moment when the monsters seemed to have won, but the power of medicine men and magicians in the army managed to turn the tide of the battle, healing and resurrecting all those who fell in battle.

Soon the monsters surrendered, their leader was killed, and many ordinary creatures were captured. The allied troops returned to their cities with victory, taking with them the untold riches captured by the ancients.

Even before the return of the troops, the beginning of change was already felt. As if the air had become lighter. Spring has returned to the world.
