[DSC] Evolution
Story.:
The air was still on that December morning. Not a sound was heard from the plain set west of the town of Shenmu, sitting quietly amongst the wood. There were people there, but they were quiet, kneeling in the prickling grass, gazing at the sky…and praying. The night before was not one soon forgotten by any of whom partook in the evening’s battle.
Yesterday had started out like all the rest; calm, content, nothing out of the ordinary. Some of the older boys played in the fields while the adults worked at the crops or cooked food for the others. Two of the young boys sat down for a break. One turned to the other and spoke.
“Hey Tripstone, I was just thinking, my dad gave me some money for helping him out yesterday, what do you say we head down to the Old Fort and spend it?”
The Old Fort was a trading post a few miles north of Shenmu which was known to have candy and other treats that the children enjoyed. It was a rhetorical question, obviously, because what child could deny helping themselves to a fistful of sugary goodness?
“Of course Punkki, I haven’t been up there in quite some time,” replied Tripstone, giddy with excitement thinking about the different assortments of treats he was about to eat.
The two of them set off, ready to waste the day eating candy and enjoying their youth. Little did they know of the troubles that would soon fall upon both of them. Fate was soon to make them the last hope of stopping the evil that plagued the countryside.



While Tripstone and Punkki spent the day at the Old Fort, the sky grew dimmer and dimmer as night was approaching. Finally they decided it was time to head back to Shenmu to see if they could still get some food before sleeping. With torch in hand, Tripstone jogged back to their quiet village followed closely by Punkki. When they reached the fields next to town, they knew something was wrong. There was no noise from town of the people laughing at having a good time. All that could be heard was the bone chilling sound of fire burning and cracking in the cool dusk night.
Tripstone started sprinting. As he reached the top of the hill, his worst nightmare had come true. The Dark Lord’s army was there. They were the same evil that had been going from village to village, pillaging the towns, killing everyone, and then burning the place to the ground. Now they had come to Shenmu.
The Dark Army was mostly comprised of inbreeds, impure, and evil souls, all of which are not the best when it comes to fighting. They are outcasts who wish to fight back, but do so in a grossly unwholesome way. They are a scary bunch who leave no one in their way alive.
“Bastards!” shouted Punkki to no one in particular. He had no weapon with which to fight with and knew better then to run blood drunk into the village. He started scouting the landscape in hope of finding something that could be used as a weapon. All he managed to find was a rock, but with his skill that would be sufficient.
This was not the first time the duo had to fight side by side before. When they were younger, they had been lost in the wood together and they had been circled by wolves. Most children would be a fresh kill for the wolves, but not Tripstone and Punkki. They were not normal boys. As it is true with most creatures, there is always a need to evolve and become better suited for their environment. This was no different with humans. Humans are always in the need to become better fighters because the better they are, the more offspring they will be able to have, and thus, a greater chance of the species continuing existence. Tripstone and Punkki are the product of thousands of years of having that need to become better equipped at fighting. They were evolution at work. Arming themselves with whatever was at hand (rocks and sticks for the most part) they fought back. The wolves were quick to realize that a blunt rock can break through any wolf skull easily. Their current predicament with the Dark Lord’s army could be won in the same way.
Tripstone held his torch in his hand while Punkki raised a thick oak branch in his left hand and held a rock in his right. This and their superior fighting skill was all they needed. The two youngsters traveled down the hill and into the flat plain where they had been playing games at just a few hours previous. Bodies littered the ground, some of them already partially eaten. The Dark Army was obviously hungry.
Appearing to be sitting against a tree was another fighter. When Tripstone made a closer inspection of the scene he realized that through his chest was a spear. Dribbling from his mouth was blood. When Tripstone walked closer, the fighter lifted his head. When he saw who is was, he smiled. With that, his head slumped forward. He was dead.
Tripstone fell to his knees in front of his fallen brother and put his arm on his shoulder. “Brother,” he spoke, “You will be avenged!” With that he firmly gripped the spear and pulled it out from the fighter's chest. Holding it high above his head he looked at the Dark Army soldiers which were just now noticing his presence. It was then that Tripstone let out a yell that sounded throughout the countryside. So loud and powerful, it struck fear into the souls of all who faced him. Tripstone was pissed.
Gripping his sword with both hands high above his head, one of the soldiers charged. It was but a boy, a boy couldn’t hurt him he rationalized. Tripstone cocked back his arm, ready to throw. His aim was dead on. The spear met skull and flung the soldier down to the ground. Tripstone, in battle position, looked at his remaining opponents. They were not going to take him lightly anymore. They were going to try their best to kill him.
Another soldier departed from the group and charged. Tripstone only held a torch in his hands which really couldn’t do much against the thick steel armor of the soldier. The soldier was in a dead sprint and opened his mouth to yell out when out of the blue, something hard struck the side of his head. The soldier fell over and slid through the field and stopped at the feet of Tripstone. Punkki’s skillful throw of a rock had just saved Tripstone’s life. It was at this point that Tripstone raised his leg above the soldier and brought it down forcefully on the man’s neck. After a loud snap, Tripstone knew it was sufficient.
Arming themselves with the soldiers’ swords, Punkki and Tripstone were easily able to defeat the remaining two soldiers in the field. After this brief battle Tripstone turned to Punkki and said, “No matter what happens tonight, you will always be my friend.“ Punkki replied with the obvious statement, “As will you”.
The battle raged all through the night. Joining up in the fight with Tripstone and Punkki were any of the survivors from Shenmu. They fought long and hard, for hope, for freedom, and for the right to stand up to the Dark Army and prove that good will always triumph over evil. Tripstone and Punkki were no longer boys…they were men.

As it was destined to happen, good did triumph. It was, however, not a happy victory. There was no rejoicing the next day. Only the sad cries of the towns survivors could be heard. Many had died that night, but also, many had lived. It was now up to the survivors,Tripstone,Punkki,N1njaslayer, DiaXan0, Yiep, Stolenonyx, Tenshi, Lovescape,Zackerie, and of course, clownhunter who miraculously was able to survive his impalement, to make sure that the Dark Army never came around again, and to ensure that every man woman and child on the countryside would stay a free person.
