Subject: fire of the night end this suffering

it was a night of sorrow. The herd was in terror the old tyrant kerlan he had yet again tightened his hold on the herd by the killing of the outriders stallions who gave their lives to overthrow him. This is the story of that sorrowful night.

"Who fight for me? who fights for the outriders?" cried Brechin the great outrider captain he watched in horror as he saw the other outriders being ripped apart by the kerla warriors. He saw a stallion galloping tworads him from the trees he braced himself for the attack but stopped it was Bandach a young outrider his face ripped to the bone he cried out in relif he spoke to him "Brave Bandach you will make a fine outrider" but as he said this the realization dawned on them as the looked into each others horror filled eyes. Twelve Kerla warriors spotted them they trumpeted and raced twords the two lone figures"well captian let me show you how a young outrider can fightfor they mean to kill you" Brechin looked at bandach and spoke his voice soft "no you must get to Eloin my mare she is foaling tonight and they will kill my foal...and you know how Kerl wants her for his own, no you must warn her and take her away from here with my foal...go now!" Bandach began to protest but then ran off calling over his shoulder "Herne be with you allways captian Brechin" the captian turned to face his aproaching enemy and yelled to Bandach "Run freely bandach". On the hillock silloughted by the full moon captian Brechin was fighting for his life.He swayed right and life like a danceing flame five times the kerla tried to enclose him and five time he reemergered bucking his mighty head but then a kerla caught him in the hock and the mighty captian went downwith a cry that made even the attacking kerla stop but then the closed in and finally a cry shattered the air and it was done captian breechin was dead. By an old oak Kerl and hiss right hoof man ragev where talking tallying up the losses kerl then gerked his head and spoke "Hernes teeth Eloin! go fetch her Ragev" ragev spoke his voice smooth and oily "and if her calf has come?" Kerl rounded on him "must i tell you everything? if it has come then kill it!" Ragev bowed his head then moved away he called to four Kerla and then they set off to the thicket where Eloin lay.
Bandach was talking hurridly with two mares Eloin reared then stood over her foal when she saw Ragev and the kerla in the distance she cried out "we are lost Brechin is dead and they will kill his foal if only i could get away but their is no time!" Bandach sped off twoards Ragev and called over his shoulder "if time is all you need then you shall have but hurry for hernes sake!" Eloin then watched in horror she called the other mare to her and spoke "hurry now take my foal away from here if i leave theywill never stop hunting you so go" and with that the other mare sped off with the foal and eloin felt her heart tear in two. Bandach leapt forwared on his front haunches and shoot forwared diagonly across Ragevs path and as he had perdicted the whole group swung after him and for a time he held them off but that terrible night exertions caught up with him and the Kerla drew nearer and then they caught him.He kicked out behind him but a bone shatering blow tripped him Bandach would never get up again. Ragev swung the group aroun then sped off to collect the beutiful prize awaiting.

The mare looked at the forieng fawn at her side and felt her motherly instincts take over she would never let anything happen to him she then sped on with anothers babe to freedom that awaited
