The Tower of Battle

The calm one and the wild one: The Tower of Battles

The Tower of Battles.

The tower is a place where legends and beings from myth and legend come to try their valor.

The way the tower works is that you advance with each battle up the tower, which has infinite stages, and I know what you are thinking: A tower with infinite stages? How the hell will you reach the top?

Well, for some, fighting forever would be the ideal life, but those who wish to be the champion of the tower, must wait till the current champion deems one worthy of fighting for the title, of being the champion of the tower.

Battles in the tower can be in teams of just one or one million.

Any form of weapon is allowed, from swords to bows to magic.

In short, the tower is a place where any form of battle can take place.

But in our story, we follow the point of view of two warriors, who have become unlikely friends,

I am talking about Ajax the great and the wild beast-man known as Beowulf.

The two friends have entered the tower and before them stands the mighty men of King David whose numbers could not be counted, but King David's men be indeed mighty, but they stand no chance against Ajax the great, who is said to be only second to Achilles himself, and Beowulf who killed not only Grendel and his mother but also a fierce dragon, indeed, the mighty men stood no chance, and thus the battle was finished.

Beowulf and Ajax walked over to the place every fighter could rest, a house which had chicken legs and a grandmother who could be kind as well as wicked, I am of course talking about the witch known as Baba Yaga.

Ajax and Beowulf entered the home of Baba Yaga.

Baba Yaga looked at her two grandchildren and then said

" Come and rest, your dear grandmother will take care of you both "

The calm one and the wild one: The Tower of Battles: a few battles

Beowulf and Ajax the great, both entered the house with the chicken legs.

" Hey grandma, give us some healing potions " said Beowulf like a spoiled child, but Baba Yaga just ignored Beowulf and walked straight towards Ajax.

" My dear Ajax, does it hurt anywhere? " said Baba Yaga like a concerned grandmother.

" I am fine " said the giant Ajax.

" Here sweety, take these healing potions and hopefully you will be in better health " said Baba Yaga, yet again like a concerned grandmother.

" I am grateful, but I think that it is Beowulf who wants some potions " said Ajax.

Baba Yaga looked at Beowulf, and Beowulf gave her the " what about me " look.

" Hmm, here, take this " said Baba Yaga as she gave Beowulf a potion.

" Finally, come Ajax, let us go and battle some more " said Beowulf as his adrenaline was starting to run through his heart yet again.

" You be careful dear Ajax, and Beowulf, you make damn sure that nothing happens to Ajax! " said Baba Yaga.

" Yeah yeah " said Beowulf.

" See you later " said Ajax.

Ajax and Beowulf both now drank their potions, but Beowulf immediately spate out his.

" What is wrong? " said Ajax.

" THAT OLD HAG! GAVE ME SURGE WATER!! " yelled Beowulf, but all that could be heard from the house with the chicken legs, was a witches laugh.

Ajax and Beowulf entered the tower of battles, ready to face any opponents.

Beowulf with his two swords, Hrunting and Nægling.

Ajax with his shield and spear, and in this version, Ajax is also wearing the armor of Achilles.

The announcer's voice could now be heard throughout the tower.

" Alright! Ladies and gentlemen, you have all come here for one thing, and that is to see some battles take place between legends! You all know Ajax and Beowulf, these two great warriors will this day face the daughter of the betrayer, Tortolina! Who wields Carnwennan, a sword that is fused together with Dyrnwyn, but that is not all, with Tortolina is the Enfants du grand chevalier, Florismarte, Andronia and Segramor, now, the stage is set, let the battles now begin!! " said MP the announcer.

With that the battles began.

Ajax and Beowulf fought against the daughter of the betrayer and the Enfants du grand chevalier.

Beowulf and Ajax fought against many that day, such as;

Wilfred of Ivanhoe and his friend, the black knight.

Sir Balin le Savage, the knight with two swords.

Locksley, who has a famous name, but I shall call him Locksley, and his friend Teucer, the half-brother to Ajax the great.

Athrwys ap Meurig and Brute.

Many battles were fought that day, but nothing was taken personal, at the end of day, all the warriors went back to the house with the chicken legs to drink and party, and that is what happens, everyday, at the tower of battles.

The Hound and the Dragon: The Tower of Battle

The crowd waited in anticipation. Tonight's main event was going to be grand.

The fighters entered the arena.

The women all gasped in joy and excitement.

The men all looked on in envy and awe.

The children all knew who they wanted to be.

Sigurd the Hound, and Siegfried the Dragon.

The golden hair of Sigurd danced in the air.

Siegfried's platinum hair shone like the pale moon.

Sigurd's piercing red eyes made all the women sin in their minds. Siegfried's piercing blue eyes made even the men lustful.

Sigurd with the devilish grin. And Siegfried with an angelic smile.

Both fighters, toned and tattooed, stood before one another.

" No swords, " said Sigurd with a grin.

" No armor, " said Siegfried with a smile.

The women were in for a treat, as both fighters started to stretch before the battle.

" Ready "

" Ready "

The punching, the kicking, and the throwing, now began.

Sweat dripped everywhere. War-cries could be heard, and both fighters were smiling joyfully; for there is nothing like a worthy opponent.

Everyone watching; all noticed something strange… fire started appearing; blue and red fire, respectively.

The red fire was coming off Sigurd, and the blue fire was coming off Siegfried.

Both were ready to finish this.

" Gram… "

" Fylgja… "

Both men ran towards one another; fists clenched.

They jumped, and Sigurd now roared;

" Garmr! "

And Siegfried roared;

" Fafnir! "

The crowd all took cover, as a tornado of blue and red fire shot into the sky.

When the smoke cleared, the crowd cheered, as Sigurd and Siegfried were both on their backs, smiling, and bumping fists.

The Hound and the Dragon both won that day, and both would now travel around the world; looking for that one worthy opponent… or team.

Goddesses of War

The crowd cheered, for these two fighters embodied all four bs - Brawn, brains, beauty, and badass; 'cause nothing says badass like a beautiful woman kicking ass.

Aphrodite, wearing UA, entered the arena.

The women envied her golden-river-like-hair.

The men lusted after her perfect body.

The sky was green with jealousy over her deep blue eyes. And even the clouds failed in comparison with her white milky skin.

In short: Sandro Botticelli did not do her beauty justice.

The other fighter, Ishtar, entered the arena.

She was wearing her armor, made from the black scales of Kur. A lyre bull head was on the left shoulder of the armor. A lion head, from the lion hunt of Ashurbanipal, was visible on her chest.

And her helmet was designed after the Tiamat head from the cylinder seal.

Ishtar took off her helmet, and that was when the crowd gasped in awe.

Her green eyes were greener than emerald. Her hair was redder than fire. And her skin, like a swan feather and perfecter than perfection.

" I thought that you were a goddess of beauty? " said Ishtar.

" I could say the same thing "

" I am also a goddess of war "

" So am I "

" Oh? "

Aphrodite smiled, as she then said:

" Aphrodite Areia "

Ishtar smiled, as she now understood.

Both fighters, both goddesses of war, donned their respective helmets.

And the crowd was in for a treat, as the rumble, figuratively and literally, began.

Both goddesses got ready for their respective finishes.

" Olympus… " said Aphrodite, as she called upon all twelve gods, including Chaos.

"Aštar… " said Ishtar, as hellfire covered the arena.

" Ovid! "

" Annunītum! "

The fists connected, as everyone took cover.

When the dust settled, both war goddesses were smiling, as they had both won - the match was a draw. And the lines to sign autographs were equally long.

The Two Titans

The audience is surely in for a treat.

The crowd held onto their seats, as Talos and Tin-Soldier Talos entered the arena.

The full attention of the audience was given, as the clash between these two titans began.

Tin-Soldier Talos won by firing the Princess' Pea through Talos' chest. But, worry not. The giant was a gentle giant. Tin-Talos used The Bell to heal Talos' wound.

The crowd cheered, as the two titans shook hands.

Talos returned to Europa, as the Tin-Soldier returned to the Danish boy and Medina.
