Brought to his knees, still he fought bravely as those who loved him watched helplessly, unable to come to his aid. His enemies attacked in unison - Fatigue, Low Blood Counts, MDS, Infection and Fever and it took this army of enemies one hundred and ten days to bring our Hero down. Fever.įever came with no mercy, relentlessly attacking, day after day, hour after hour. Again his loves sought to be in his presence as he caught his breath between assaults.įatigue, Low Blood Counts, MDS and Infection were enraged at the strength, courage, honor and determination of our Hero and so they plotted late one night and sought to unleash the harshest foe against our Hero.
#Braveland wizard brave hero that stood up full#
For two full weeks, every single day, he fought Infection - and after fourteen days he triumphed over this enemy. Our beloved Hero buckled, but refused to fall. Again and again they launched their joint attacks and again and again, with the aid of his allies, our Hero repelled them from his walls.Īngry and frustrated at their inability to subdue him, Fatigue, Low Blood Counts and MDS conspired in secret and brought Infection into the fray. Bravely he dug deeper into his soul and from his depths sought to repel the horde that was set upon him. This plague said ''I will ravage your blood and marrow'' but our Hero refused to yield. The enemy saw that our Hero was brave and tenacious and brought forth a mighty plague called MDS-EB2 which raged against our Hero as he fought to stand his ground. Brief lulls in battle were spent with those he loved most, and his foremost thought was always for his children. His Allies came to his aid at every juncture, fortified him and boosted him up. Allies, versed in medicinal lore, came to the aid of our Hero and brought new red knights and sometimes platelets and each time our Hero stood again against Fatigue and Low Blood Counts and for several weeks the battle raged as the enemy scored advantages and weakened our Hero. Low Blood Counts arrived on the battlefield and attacked our Hero on three fronts, bringing down his white knights and his red knights and his platelet armor. Fatigue came in the night, and stealthily, slowly chipped away at our Hero, but he was determined to overcome and persevere through Fatigue's advances. The war lasted for one hundred and ten days.
