Swordbird

Prologue:
It was at night and a massive fortress fortress was being constructed by slavebirds for Turnatt, a tyrant who towered over his soldiers. Among them was the driver of the slavebirds, Bug-eye, who whipped them mercilessly.
Here begins our tale: (Chapter 1-4)
Just after sunrise, a war party of cardinals soared over the lands, armed with swords and spears in their claws. They flew over the Line, the border between the territories of the cardinals and the blue jays. But about a month ago, it hadn't been like that. The red and the blue were good friends. The blue jays had suspected the cardinals of taking their food and had raided their storehouse, taking more than what was stolen from them. Blue jays Glenagh and Skylion were chatting over a cup of tea when they realised they had been attacked by the reds.
Turnatt's horde had flown to Stone-Run (the forest where reds and blues lived) with 40 slavebirds but only 38 made it to the forest. The slavebirds were allowed to build a fire and they huddled close around it, shivering. Tilosses, an aged sparrow, started the discussion on how to escape from the Fortress. Many other birds also joined in the discussion. They chose Miltin, a young robin, to get the help from the red and the blue in the woodlands.
Inside an newly buil room in Fortress Glooming, Turnatt was demanding Slime-beak to finish building the fortress in 8weeks. Slime-beak said that couldn't be done as they were short of hand. Turnatt then sent Flea-screech to bring back the cardinals and the jays nearby as slaves. Shadow, a scout, glided in soon after, answering Turnatt's question about them, "We stole some food from their pitiful camps. Now each of them believe's that the other's the theif."
In the Stone-Run, Skylion dashed out of Glenagh's study to organized his troops, shouting commands. The battle cries of both sides could be heard as the blues drove the reds towards the Line. But the reds decided not to retreat anymore as both sides weakened.
Aska had left the blue jays' camp that morning, before the attack of the cardinals. She thought of the times when the reds and the blues were friends and the more she thought, the dizzier she became and started to see shadows moving.
Chapter 19-24
Miltin and Aska had set off to a quest to get back to Miltin's family: Waterhorn Tribe. They lived in the Mountains. The duo then passed a river where Miltin's friend offered to take them to the Waterhorn tribe. as Miltin spoke, a shiver of pain flew through him. The magical flower's effects were wearing off.
As they reached Miltin's home, the whole tribe rejoiced at the fact that Miltin was back. He was offered food after the long journey from Stone-Run. But he fell unconscious and died soon after as his wounds were too severe. Miltin's father, Reymarsh, muttered, "Turnatt you will pay."
As Aska returned to the Stone-Run, one of the cardinals told her that her tribe had been burned down. The blue jays were preparing to summon Swordbird against Turnatt with a Learnson Gem and the Song Of Swordbird.
When Turnatt learnt that all his commanders had been defeated, he decided that he would lead an attack against the reds and blues himself.
THe afternoon sun shne on the cardinals' camp as a young cardinal alerted the rest of the members that Turnatt was coming with an army of crows and raverns.
Turnatt's army was soon intercepted by the red cardinals, blue jays and the Waterhorn Tribe. But the defenders were out numbered and couldn't hold out for long. So they got a bird to sing the Song Of Swordbird. The song increased in volume at every note and the crows and raverns began to falter as the woodbirds grew more courageous.
THe wind grew stronger and colours spilled out in the sky. Turnatt ran away amidst the fighting to a cave. Suddenly a forked lightning struck and Swordbird appeared. He was wielding a sword that had a Learnson on it.
After Swordbird found Turnatt, he talked to him through his mind. Turnatt begged Swordbird for mercy but Swordbird's sword just sparkled with brilliance. Turnattinstantly burst into flame. A screech of horro came from the ball of flame as it dropped to the ground.
In the end, the slavebirds were freed and the Waterhorn tribe returned.
