Change of Tide (University Path) - Short Fantasy Story (Part 16)
I listened, but everything sounded disconnected and fast. They were exhausted, and I ordered water to be brought to them so that they could speak. And then I started asking questions. Who are they, where did they come from? Why did they come? What is their goal? How many armies are there, do they possess fighting forms of magic? What is their army size? And so on, and on. I asked all the questions to the man who spoke first, and mostly he answered the questions. I don't know how strange it sounded to the soldiers, considering that we spoke in the Silver Age language.

And then the story began. '' We've been watching you for generations. We have watched you settle into the peace you have chosen so that we can attack you when you least expect it. We watched you forget what you were, and you become something completely new. How do you forget your traditions and look for new ones .. How do you think you are making progress, and in fact you are destroying yourself. And we were waiting for the right moment. My people's name is Haraly, but you have long forgotten all about us. In fact, we are trying to conquer you because our planet is no longer a place where we can live. For decades, our planet has struggled to reject us, and free herself from our grip. But I don't know how to explain how we got here, nor how we observed you. I'm just a scout in the military, before that I was a blacksmith. Our magic is at a high level, one that you have forgotten, at least that's what our commanders say. I am not taught about these things and I do not know more about them. And our army, it'll kill you all or get you out of here. We're just a precursor. Hundreds of thousands of our cavalry, archers and infantry are yet to come. Through the same portal as us, that is, several dozen portals opened by our mags. The materials that make up our armor and weapons do not exist on your continent. And you will never be able to find out how they are made. You haven't had anyone with True Spark for generations. While the last Mag that possessed this true spark, walked this earth centuries ago, you had a chance then. Now death and slavery await you. You will forget who you are, and what happened, but you deserve it because you forgot. You forgot what Origin is. And that's all I'm ready to say. You can kill me.'' He ended his presentation proudly, and surrendered. It was evident by his expression. I ordered the prisoners to be prepared for transport to the city.

The instant I prepared, and with the army unit I came with, I headed back. I thought about what I heard. I think that I and the professor will have to consult with others from the University. I thought the information I was getting would bring me some new knowledge, and it did, but it also raised a thousand new questions. Thousands of new puzzles. It seems like we've forgotten a lot, and that must be corrected, somehow.

I knew that the General, and the professor, would want to question them. And I have to deal with their weapons and armors. I think I'm about to discover something new, or at least something that can complete the story I've heard before. I have not seen a solution to the situation we are in. I wasn't even sure how many armies we had, or whether we had any technologies that could allow us to fight more evenly. So many enemies, those numbers, never ever such a large army has walked this country. And now she's getting ready to destroy us.

What have we all forgotten?
