The Legend of Smite[/u]
A brief tale of Smite after DF
Smite the mighty was not only a Dragon, but also perhaps the single greatest threat on the world. By the time the Demon forces were destroyed, it was apparent the power the Dragon possessed at his very will, this would soon become too much for the King Dragon, who would grow annoyed, tiresome, and bored of constant pleas for support.
The Darkness cleared in the realm of Cyrax, the host banished, fleeing for his life, believing the Dragon to fall for his little tricks, yet, it was not to be so, victory was always around the corner. Smite was victorious, the master of magic was defeated in a most gruelling defeat for the demon. The Dragon laughed as Cyrax stepped through the portal, and simple sat down and relaxed, not falling for the obvious trick, he always enjoyed making his enemies feel the idiots when their plans failed.
It was a day later when Smite arrived back in the normal realm, he seemed stronger, more confident, and over all greater as he returned to his lands in true noble spirit. A great cheer roared through the fields, the Draconians and the remaining Dragon forces celebrated at the victory, and Smite being their hero. Great flames rose, smoke, steam, and fireworks, all created for the King, and by his people, it was a party surely to outdo that of any of the outside worlds at the time.
Smite sat down in his palace, the great tall roof would be seemingly as tall as the sky to a dwarf, and perhaps as high as the morning clouds to an orc, it was all designed around Dragons, nothing had anything from the outside world, nor did they want anything, they were after all a very proud nation, which many reasons to be so. They created the first flames, they built the first temple, and they fought the first war, yet until now the kingdom was nearly completely forgotten.
A poof of smoke arose from Smite’s nostrils, dancing up to the roof and eventually expanding and mixing with the air into nothing more than a light haze until it reached the windows. The King was contemplating what to do now, Cyrax was after all still about, no doubt causing more horror, and the Demon King could very well still be alive, even thought the Demon Armies had been stopped, it did not mean that they were completely destroyed.
He shifted backwards ever so slightly, staring at a marking on the wall, it was in ancient tongue, telling of the great war, and all in what a Human would think was a few squiggles and a full moon, how common minds can be so un-thoughtful in the ways of old. His mind remembered the times long ago, he wondered what his fathers would do, and if they would be for the best. For a moment he stayed unmoving, in his own dream world of thoughts and contemplations, after the answer to a much needed puzzle.
Finally moving, the large winged beast of terror moved from his fine palace, and into the inner areas, there he would meet with his officers, and tell them what was to happen. Cyrax, The Demon King, and so many other Demons needed destroying, putting into coffins, and forgotten over, and Smite knew all to well this renewal of war would only annoy his fellow men, yet it needed doing, for their safety, as well as the outside world, who Smite still felt a slight bit of debt he owed towards them.
The soldiers learnt the truth, they would once more return to the field, their elite forces were feared deeply by most, be them allied or enemy, their Draconian infantry were the finest beings to ever hold a weapon, and the Dragon warriors were dominating even the Demon Zombie forces. It would be both their victory and defeat as they once more took on the Demon King, yet all saw their victory being assured.
It had been a long siege, the Demon forces without a leader begun to fail in their defence. Already a great crash, as the once magnificent walls came tumbling down from the long assault of the Dragons. Smite saw the battle going fine and left a Draconian officer named Venom in charge, he had been one of the King’s finest warriors for some time, and he was very trustworthy.
Finally the walls crumbled and the Draconian forces charged in cutting down all they came across, the Dragons stayed to the rear, unmoving, hovering about the ground, staring blankly. No one ever found out the cause of this magic. The Dragons attacked, cutting down the Draconians from behind, and quickly making the race extinct, Without Smite’s great counters against magic they were left to die.
Once they were gone the Dragons were let out of the spell, and looked around the graveyard of friendly men, and they wept, only for a moment, before they burst into forgotten fury, and struck down many of the Demon forces. As they came over to the last remaining force, great purple beams shot around the city. One by one the Dragons fell to the powerful beams, until eventually none lasted, all believing their leader to come and save them.
The city walls were left with a great hole, several minor breaches and many buildings laid to ruin. However all this was nothing to the fact the Dragons were defeated, their kind would never fight against the Demons again, and this left the Demon Forces the perfect time to take over the world. The only remaining was Smite, and none knew where he was, until he arrived at the city to find out what had happened. That day would make all of the underworld fear him, so much pain, destruction and chaos in such a short space of time, it was unlikely Cyrax or the Demon King could compete with him during that time of rage.
Smite knew more about the Dragons than anyone else, they were not gone forever, yet he could not allow anyone the chance to change that. With much sadness he returned to Hero Mountain, and with a sigh let go of the magic spell, which linked both worlds together. Now he was totally cut off from his realm, but at least his young were safe from attack, they would one day be as mighty as he, and would prove the worth of the Dragons once more, and hopefully with more luck than he had.
Smite watched as time passed, and the Demon forces retreated. If only he had left the outside world alone for this last part of the chapter, it could have been done just as quick, and without the loss of his men. He knew it had to be Cyrax; no one else he knew had such powers of Dragons. So Smite helped the outside world once more, aiding them in the last assault of the Demons, driving them out back to where they belong.
It was not long after the great defeat of the Demon King that once more wars broke out. It seemed likely there would be a divide of three major kingdoms, but also it appeared more were rising to take over smaller areas hoping to be the next hero of the land. Smite watched with interest the rise of the kingdoms and the rise of chaos, more and more he was asked to aid people, and more and more he refused.
Smite grew tired of all the requests for aid, if it were not he had to live here, he would probably have ended up killing more of the messengers that came to his home and constantly asked. By the time the three main kingdoms were already gaining land, and Smite was planning, seemingly against himself. He needed a potent spell, one that would change him, and make him, not he, so that he may slip about unnoticed.
About a month later Smite had the perfect magical ability, and quickly used it on himself. Drowsiness took over him, and soon the Dragon collapsed on the floor and fell into a deep sleep. As he slept for many days his body slowly shrunk, till eventually he was the size of a large adult Tiger. As he woke he noticed the room look so large, the decorations now towered him, and the ceiling appeared unreachable. With a laugh he tested out his next trick.
Children screamed and peasants came rushing out with pitchforks and brooms. A great Wolf ran passed them all, and jumped onto a tall roof with mighty elegance. There was something about this Wolf which struck them with fear, something made them curious, happy and frightened all at the same time, for it was Smite in disguise, and none would tell.
Smite knew how to evade being seen, he had this planned out just right, and set about going into what he called retirement. He found a wood he liked and he stayed there till the time came he must once more return to the name of Smite. Many people saw him, in his other forms, and recently the locals had named him, making him no longer Smite in their eyes, all this suited Smite, at least he would not disturbed.
Time passed sweetly for the Dragon shape shifter, peace, tranquillity, and no more annoying people asking for help, it was as he hoped. The world thought he was dead, many of the world’s greatest warriors, magicians and archers claimed to have been the killer of the Dragon. However it was not to be so, as many years later the Dragon emerged, found by two Elves, and that is where this tale ends, for now. Perhaps more can be told of the legend that is Smite, but that will come later, if ever it does.
