A New Beginning
The General awoke at the beckoning of his elven friend. They were nearing the shore and the General did not want to miss the sight. It was so beautiful, with miriads of colors that veiled the world beyond. But as the ship drew closer, General could see that the miriads of colors were just the rays of the sun bouncing off of the thick fog that covered the shoreline.
The General let out a heavy sigh, it had become apparent that they were pulling into yet another war torn world. He gazed upon mighty warriors battling great creatures the likes of which he had never seen. It appeared his skills would be needed yet again.
The General called for his gear, and two elves brought him the crate that it was stored in. As he reached down for his gear, he discovered that it was heavier than he remembered. He could barely lift it, and there was no way he could do battle in this gear. It was much to big for him... Then it dawned on him... All the time on the boat, he hadn't realized it was happening, but he had become weak again. The General's stomach turned at the thought... all the training he had done, the skills he had learned... He had been one of, if not the, strongest in Middle Earth, but now he was going to have to start over...
General left the gear for the elves to sell, or melt down, and struck out into this new realm. He found shelter in a shadow, and looked for a clear path to town. Who would he be in this world? What would be his job? So many questions that needed answers. Ah, but first things first... And off the General went in search of a town and some sort of gear to protect himself.
