A Tale of A Thousand Years Ago [4]

My house was not the only one that was attacked, soon the burning boulders were flying all over the village, crushing the houses and the people living in it. They were the result of some magic spell I didn't know at the time, but looking back at it now I guess it was probably a combination of fire and earth elements. 

The army was surrounding us, but since they could not cross the mountains they laid camps on the rest of the three sides. My father had probably seen the army coming, that's why he hurried back to save us.
