Thunder crashed and rumbled across the cave. A lightning revealed fourteen men on horseback before the darkness covered them.
“I haven’t seen daylight for many days!” shouted Grimson as the sun rose. He and Relbert had just returned from a bloody war, they and only a dozen men had returned.
When the sun set they started a camp. Grimson took a walk along the hairy bushes. When suddenly out of nowhere two figures appeared. The first began to speak “death awaits you!”
Then the second said in a firm voice “You shall be murdered!” Then they vanished as how they had appeared, Grimson acted as nothing had happened and went to bed. Early next morning, the group continued with their journey towards Grindim.
About an hour later they reached Oranth the end of Grindim’s defenses. The guards of Grindim escorted the army and the king to the castle of Grindim. That is also known as Gondor, the country of hope. When they returned they were greeted with women crying, the wives of the soldiers who had died in the bloody battle. When Grimson had finished changing his outfit he announced to have a victory party in the great hall. He even invited peasants. Actually he wanted to show everyone how powerful he was. When the servants brought the wine to Grimson, Grimson took the drink and drank it. At that instant he felt his throat tighten, but no one was aware that he was on the ground. Then Grimson remembered what the second figure said, he then breathed his last breath and died.
