Kalo the Mage
Donal Keating
Chapter one: Home of Magi
I am Kalo the mage, servant of the Mauras tribe. I passed the Fields of Triumph. Once a great battle had taken place there. I run past the Fort of Nammor and Moro Lake. I have to deliver a message, an important message to the top ranks. I am quite high in the ranks of the Mauras tribe. Eleventh out of six hundred and forty-four members, so I pretty much am one of the elders, now up the steps and in I go. 'Hi' said Doras, 'hi' I replied. More members said hello, but I ran on. This place was huge; well it was the biggest magi home in the world, belonging to a powerful tribe. Ah, the top floor at last I burst in and see Kiro, Riko, Lagoran, Bore-Forger and Aroar in the middle of a meeting, Kalo Riko yells. 'What are you doing here?' He asked me. I tell them about Port Darmus.
'This isn't good,' Kiro says, breaking the silence. 'Kalo' Lagoran speaks 'go and investigate Darmus, I trust you to do this' there was a murmur of agreement 'Ok, I'll go immediately' I know what they're asking me this going to be tough, well at least I might get some action on my journey. I go and pack straight away; using magic I am quickly ready. Riko says 'good bye and good luck.' I go now, leaving as soon as I arrived. I set off on the road and go back past the Fields of Triumph, the Fort of Nammor and Moro Lake. A few miles away I met an orc, common in this forest, but a quick swipe and stab killed it. Not much action in that. Now I continue on.
Chapter two: On the Road
A week on the road, it's not too bad but I'd prefer to be in the castle. I've run into a few more orcs but the hardest fight so far was against three orcs. They attacked me at the same time and I had to move quickly to avoid being stabbed in chest, I then stabbed one orc with my sword. Then I felled one with magic, 'Noranddium!' I yell the orc fell instantly, dead. The last one retreated but I cut him down before he escaped. I have gone about forty-seven miles since leaving the castle. I'm going to Port Samgor, where I'll get a ship to Darmus. I'm halfway through my journey to Samgor.
The weeks travelling on the road took their toll on my suppiles. I was close to Tarnag. I was well known because of being a famous magi, so supplies was a piece of cake. But the orc camp Ogarn was directly south of Tarnag. By the time I reached the camp it was night. The foul stench of orcs was heavy in the air. I moved quickly but I was spotted!'Intruder' yelled the orc. Orcs lumbered towards me. 'Spedio!' I suddenly sped up with ease. Tarnag was soon in my sights. I was let in the gates, it felt good to be in a city again.Chapter Three: Tarnag
