[ WP ] Legends tell of the Elder race who utilized strange `` technologies '' instead of magic . As hordes of brutal killers invade from the north , a young elf heads off to search for ancient ruins , looking for humans ...

Flyssa was exhausted from the long journey. For almost two weeks she barely slept and rested. She had to hurry if she wanted to save her kingdom. 
 
 After their old world died. They people of Eldhom managed to open several gatea to another world. Unfortunaly those gates were instable and devastated large chunks of the new world. The once thriving civilizations were destroyed and there were no know settlements of them left, only ruins. 
 
 Now after 40 years of the great migration the humans of Eldhom had errected a empire in the north. Enslaving or wiping out other countries and races they had constantly increasing their borders. And now they arrived at the Linthanir forrest. 
 
 Knowing that they stood no chance against the empires superior numbers the Holy Kingdom of Linthanir send out several experienced rangers, who could speak in the so called eldar languages `` English'' to search the ruins for technology of the ancients to help them in their struggle. Flyssa has been send to west, to the ruins which were called forrest of stone. The other three has been send to the north to the endless wasteland of ice, the south into the vast steppe and east beyond the endless wall. 
 
 Yesterday she crossed the fields of iron bushes. A place filled with bushes made of iron and with sharp blades and needles. 
 Now she entered climbed donw from a hill and entered the ruins. 
 
 As she came closer she noticed that almost everything was made out of stone: The houses, the road and even some of the trees. She could also see large grey trees made out of stone in the distance. 
 
 She was so focused on the miracles of the ancients that she noticed the group of humans that encircled her too late. 
 
 `` Freeze!!!!'' 
 
 The humans pointed some strange looking devices at her. It looked like a crossbow with a pipe and a box underneath but without the arms. 
 
 `` Drop your weapons! Slowly.'' 
 
 Flyssa folowed the order and dropped her bow and sword. 
 
 `` Kolsciek cuff her.'' 
 
 A soldier restrained hand from behind with a strange, white rope. 
 
 `` Are you members of the elders?'' 
 
 A man, apparently the leader stepped forward. 
 
 `` Elders, you mean someone who once inhabited those ruins? In this case yes.'' 
 
 A stone fell from her heart. She made it. 
 
 `` The goddess Celestia be praised. Honorable elders, we need your help in reppeling the em...'' 
 
 `` Woah slow there. You havent said your name or what you are doing here.'' 
 
 `` Of course, I am Flyssa de Elfhom. I came here hoping to find members of the elder race. Our home, the kingdom of Linthanir, is under the attack from the empire of man from the north. I was send to bring back any useful technology that could aid us.'' 
 
 `` Wait a moment...'' 
 
 The leader of the group ripped of her bandana, revealing her pointy ears. 
 
 `` Shit, I knew it! Its one of those fucking invaders!!! Get on your knees!!!!'' 
 
 The soldiers behind her forced her down. 
 
 `` But I mean no harm! I just want to resquest some help!'' 
 
 `` Kolsciek, if she makes any wrong move you shoot her. Understood?'' 
 
 The soldier just nodded. 
 
 `` Ehm Colonel Konig, I think you should look at this.'' 
 
 Another soldier gave the colonel something that looked like two large eyes made out of glas in a metal housing. 
 
 `` Great, looks like she is a scout of this alien army over there'' 
 
 `` Army?'' 
 
 Flyssa looked behind her. On the hill in the distance they could see a large army assemble and taking battle positions. 
 
 `` No no no! Im not a scout! They must have followed me when I was searching for you. I..'' 
 
 The colonel hit her in the face. 
 
 `` Shut the fuck up and spare us with your lies!'' 
 
 `` Colonel, there is a group of about 50 mounted invaders coming at us.'' 
 
 One of the soldiers pointed down the road. A group of imperial scouts on horses was getting closer. 
 
 `` Alright, Kolsciek you stay with the prisoner. Wallace, Kamarow and Müller get on the roof and aim for the officers. The rest of us gets to cover next to the road.'' 
 
 Kolsciek dragged Flyssa behind a large chunk of rubble. The other soldiers also hid behind walls and rocks. 
 
 `` Let them get a little bit closer so they dont have a chance to escape and warn the others. Steady! Hold! Hooold! And Fire!!!!'' 
 
 The elders activated their weapons. The noise was deafening as their weapons started to spit fire. 
 
 After just a few seconds it was over. Every rider and their horses were dead. Riddled with holes or completely torn apart. Flyssa never expected the elders to be so powerful. 10 soldiers dealing with 50 imperial scouts in seconds. If she could convince them to lend them some of their technology the elves would surely have no problem dealing with the imperials. 
 
 The colonel to 2 cups that were connected with a grip to his ear and started speaking. 
 
 `` HQ, this is Bravo 1 over.'' 
 
 A voice came out of the upper cup 
 
 `` This is HQ, go ahead'' 
 
 `` We have repelled a attack from the invaders in sector 23. We also spotted a large invader army on the hill east of us. Probably several thousands of them. Requesting CAS over.'' 
 
 `` Bravo 1, Bulldog 1-1 and 1-2 are on their way. ETA 5 minutes, over'' 
 
 `` Whats CAS?'' 
 
 `` Something you filthy aliens wont like. You thought you could deceive us with your lies? We know your kind and wont fall for these tricks.'' 
 
 `` What tricks? I really mean no harm and I havent done anything to y..'' 
 
 The colonel pulled out a knife and pushed it against her throat. Flyssa was close to tears. 
 
 `` Why are you doing this to me?'' 
 
 `` Why? I will tell you why. When those gates opened disasters wrecked havoc in the entire world. Earthquakes, huge storms and tsunamies everywhere. Entire cities got swallowed by the earth. And then you send us plagues and monstrosities to finish us off. You murdered billions of us! But we survived, even if we had to give up almost an entire continent. Now we will reclaim what is ours and wipe out every last one of you filthy aliens!!! 
 
 A strange sound could be heard from the distance. 
 
 `` Looks like the cavalry is here boys'' 
 
 `` Bravo 1 this is Bulldog 1-1, do you read me?'' 
 
 The colonel picked up the strange cups again. 
 
 `` Bulldog 1-1 here is Bravo 1, the target is the enemy army on the hill. We will mark the target with a laser, over. Sato, mark the target!'' 
 
 Flyssa could see 2 strange large birds in the distance flying faster than anything she has ever saw. 
 
 `` Bravo 1 we got your target, coming in for gunrun.'' 
 
 The two bird were flying lower when suddenly the entire hill bursted and got covered in a thick smokecloud. Then she heard a BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT, like the roar of a monster. The two bird were coming back around and repeated this unholy spectacle several times. 
 
 When the smoke finally disappeared there was nobody alive left on 
 the hill. 
 
 `` See this? This is how we will send you back to hell. Kolsciek put a bag on her head and gag her. We will bring her back to HQ.'' 
 
 Flyssa tried to resist but the soldier still forced a piece of cloth into her moth and put a blag clothbag on her head. 
 
 The colonel grinned. 
 
 `` Maybe some watersports will make her sing''
