The Destiny War

As the night grew shorter, he knew that his time was coming. Never the less, he went through with his plan all the way to the end. He rushed into the three story building, ready for death...

"Stop him! Don't let him get away!" Yelled a stout man, commanding the troops chasing Aaron. Aaron had been in the building for little under six hours collecting the information he needed from the file room beneath the fort. He now knew that the symbols that he had been recently drawing all of the time, were, in fact, connected to the strang event known as the Summoning. But he still hadn't the slightest idea of what the symbols stood for. But just then an arrow flew by his head and scratched his ear.

He could see the window that he had, for several monthes, been planning to jump out of into the stream below. He had another good 10 meters before reaching it, and then he just had to follow the stream to his encampment that he set up with a falbergasted woodsman who had so blindly agreed to for the small price of a golden coin from Galmun, the owner of the smallest goblin forge.

And now, Aaron took and blind leap, and flew out of the window above the stream. But then pain burst into his back as though he were being stabbed by a knife...or hit by an arrow! The blood was staining his clothes and he couldn't see straight. He had the slightest idea that this arrow had severed a major vien. SPLASH! He landed in the stream wish a tremendous splash and began his work of swimming downstream.

It was only less than a minute when he heard another splash faintly from behind him. A man with blood red hair came swimming up to him. This man was a much faster swimmer than Aaron, and he looked as though he was a good 2 1/2 meters tall. Aaron, though he did not know what he was doing, swam faster, and still, blood rained down his body and his vision was going blury. But then he heard a scream that ripped the night in two. He chanced a look over his shoulder, and the man was dead with an arrow in his head.

Aaron, through much effort, finally reached his camp sight. He climbed up onto the shore and stared straight at the woodsman who he had promised the coin to when he returned. The woodsman stood up and began to move towards Aaron. Aaron fell to the ground. His heart seemed to stop. He knew what was coming. He couldn't believe, that even for a second, he had let him self believe that he might live. The woodsman took the arrow out of Aaron's shoulder and placed it on the rocks.

"You're going to die. I don't know how to help you." The woodsman told Aaron in a soothing voice. Aaron, though he regretted it, knew what he must do. He removed the papers from his wrapsack, and in trembling arms, handed them to the woodsman,

"Here, follow my instructions. Please, figure this riddle out. I havn't the slightest clue what each character means, but i do know that they are all connected to the Summoning. This is my final wish, i leave all of my posessions to you. Help me, and get your most trusted friends to help you." And with that final breath, Aaron now lay dead at the feet of the woodsman.
