The sand warriors of Bel-Seledas [Chapter 1]

A thousand and 5 days before the rise of man a horde of Sand Warriors dwelled in the deserts of Arabia. These warriors were not plant mineral or animal, but a mixture of all three. They were manifestations of soy plants, finches and sand. They roamed the sands in pairs or threes hunting for unwary pigs. After years or reign over the world the sand warriors soon had a new foe, humans. The humans had risen out of the sea beginning as small lizards, and had soon become man. The sand warriors disliked the humans and found it impossible to deal with such creatures. Soon a great war began between the races and the humans were on the brink of destruction. The Sand warriors had fought valiantly, and were fewer in number than the humans, though what they lacked in numbers they made up for in skill. The sand warriors had millenia of experience in battle against boars, similar to humans, and could easily defeat the unarmed beasts with their bare tentacles. Until one day the humans began to develop weapons from the trees. They tore down the trees, close relatives to the sand warriors, and turned them into sharpened spoon like spears. The sand warriors found it difficult to attack the humans from such a distance and had to develop weapons of their own. Because of their brute strength the sand warriors hurled large bundles of leaves at the humans, taking them down from extreme distances.

The Humans became afraid of the sand warriors and took to hiding in the trees, and leave the battles to try and develop new weapons to use against the sand warriors. The sand warriors too were awaiting the return of the humans and started creating new weapons to fight against the humans. The humans began to manufacture swords from the wood, without access to the ground they could not claim much metal. They began to fashion armor from their trees, and camouflage from the leaves. The soy warriors began to train large beasts, and summon sand-monsters from their deserts. Humans, without much power to use the arcane, failed to strike bck at the sand warriors, and many times were wiped out in large groups by a single sand warrior in control of sand minions.

This was until from the sky above descended a half human-half eagle, he was not known well by the humans except that he could control wind and was more physically powerful than any man. He was named the wind master, the sand warriors however knew him well and had been for many years, mortal enemies with him. The tide of the battle began to turn and the wind master lead the humans into many victorious battles against the scattered sand warriors. The sand warriors retreated back into their fortress in the desert, called Bel-Saladas, and summoned their leader, the giant fire lizard of Napes. The fire lizard was submurged from the depths of the fortress and was informed by the sand warriors of the great battle they faced. The lizard returned to the depths to reappear with an army of fire-minions. The walls of the fortress being harrowed by the humans and their wind-god were soon to be falling, when out of the front soy-gate charged the lizard and his minions, englulfing the humans in flame. The humans fell that day, the remains of the battle a charred earth and smoking corpses. The humans had to retreat and consolidate their god, if they were to destroy these sand warriors and become rulers of the earth. The sand warriors now claiming more of their land, effortlessly from the humans, began to rise in power, merging with the fire minions, into abominations. The sand warriors now called them selves fire demons, and charred the earth with their steps. The humans had grown to fear the sight of them. But the fire demons had opened up a new weakness, water. The humans began to dwell on bodies of water, in boats and large underwater cities. The fire demons finding it hard to attack the humans, even before the fire their sand - bodies made it difficult to move through water. The demons began to use their control of nature over other plants and began to use the trees to either dry out bodies of water or to entangle their roots upon dwellings in the waters. Sinking the humans, who still required oxygen. The humans had no idea how to fight, until they created the blimp. With their wind god, the Humans now ruled the sky, and not even the fire demons could manage to reach them, the time came for another stage of evolution, so the fire demons looked to the mountains.
