The chronicles of Mittland Part 02 Time of the dragons

[Vauban]

They stood before the hut and watched, how the sun rose over the treetops. It seemed to become a sunny day. LILIAN put a hand on TURAS shoulders.

[Vauban]

Thus they stood a short time, when suddenly the one-legged one cleared his throat behind them. „Good morning, uncle “, welcomed him TURAS. Then he grined a little bit, „however you aren't probably my uncle, as HADOR isn't my father. “„You err there, my boy. I am your real uncle JURAS. King JURON was my brother. I had sworn to him to pay attention to you and your mother. I failed to protect your mother , but I could save you. “ „Tell me from my mother “, asked TURAS his uncle.

[Vauban]

„She was a wonderful woman. She loved your father very much. When Arn, the wolf man, brought to us the notice of your father's death and the remaining, she cried bitterish. But she was also full power and wisdom. After she had dried her tears, we conferred. Everything that she said was full sense of sharp. Even your father had handed over the command authority to me,  nevertheless it were your mother's courage and the idea wealth, whom made us possible to defy ARTRAC more than one year. “

[Vauban]

JURAS voice came to a hold, he had to fight with the tears. With occupied voice he continued to speak, „it was hopeless nevertheless, ARTRAC's reserves seemed to be inexhaustible. While the number of our defenders with each attack sank, ARTRAC led again and again rested troops into the fight. We entrenchd ourselves finally on the lily castle, and we saw however no more possibility on rescue. “

[Vauban]

„ISTRID, TAMIN and I were only alive of the king's knights. VALDOR became victim in an ambush of honourless snipers, SERAM and WILBERT fell, when they defended the bridge with our retreat on the castle against a supremacy of the dragon men. “

[Vauban]

„It could act only around days, until ARTRAC's troops ran over us. Our supplies went to end, and the men were exhausted of the endless fights. There AETERA came to ARN and me. >Our situation is offering no prospects. We do not get any assistance From the other kingdoms< , she began. >Juras, take my son, your nephew, and bring him in security. ARN will find a place, at which you will hide you and the boy.<  She forbided any contradiction, and we did, how she instructed us. Later we heard in the villages of her victim death. “ 

[Vauban]

„What happened then? “„At the frontier station we were attacked. Plunderer looked for usable things. I sent ARN with you over the bridge and placed myself to the bandits. “

[Vauban]

 „I could defend myself against them, until you went over the bridge in security. But then the last robber was dying, and this damned guy put his knife in my right leg. Nearly crazy before pain I followed you over the bridge. “

[Vauban]

„The pain in my leg was too strong nevertheless, I fell from the horse and remained lying unconsciously at the edge of road. Two actors found me. They tried to save my leg but it was futile. They carried me with them and maintained me. Also they had lost friends in the war confusions. In the fever I must have called ARN's name at that time, then they experienced that I was a friend of the wolf man. They knew him also. ARN had traveled a short time before the dragon wars with them by the country. “

[Vauban]

„As the South realm was attacked, we fled  in the Sea-country. After ARTRAC's troops broke in there also, we were separated. Afterwards I pulled by the Sea-country, always on the escape before the dragon soldiers. One a day ARN stood suddenly before me. On many detours with many adventures he brought me to here, I saw you growing up… “ JURAS came to a hold, tears ran over his cheeks, and TURAS put comfortly his arm over his uncle's shoulders.
