In a barbarian village laid a dirty bar full of mercenaries, assassins and thieves amongst them was Barboriaz a barbarian troop a family man looking for a nice big pint of beer. Barboriaz wore bear fur for boots and pants on his pelvis hung the bears pelt. He had a bushy beard and scruffy hair. Whilst sucking down an icy beverage a glimmer caught his eye. HE stroked his beard, perched his hand on an axe with markings showing how many kills he had achieved. He carried his weapon over to the shine that was coming out of a barrel with leopard skin wrapped around it. He opened the barrel sliding off the lid thus god Zazdra appeared Barboriaz flew backwards and everybody froze to death but him. “Barboriaz you of all barbarians should under stand”Barboriaz scramble to his boots “accept my offer and I will reward you immune power. If you decline I will strike you down and you will suffer for your insolence” “I accept my lord I accept” smirked Barboriaz. Zazdra struck Barboriaz with a green flash. Barboriaz’s muscles grew twice their size he was as powerful as Hercules as powerful as a wizard and as fire breathing as a dragon. “First take the throne” “as you wish my lord” replied Barboriaz later that night Barboriaz stormed into his king’s hut and struck him with lightning threw him into a crowd and finished him off with some fire. Barboriaz led the Barbarians through countless battles he became a god. One morning in cartage, Barboriaz was trying to exterminate Carthaginian settlement, when a giant looking man named Storgacease blocked their path. “Kill him! And make haste” sighed Barboriaz Barbarian archers fired at Storgacease the arrows were crashed by his pecks Barboriaz ran over to him at the speed of life Storgacease grabbed his neck held him up and battered his face then threw him into a volcano after that raised his hands filling the volcano full of fire Zazdra was mocked by the other guards so he froze Barboriaz alive in the volcano turning the fire into rock as well as Barboriaz his wife and son froze but at their current age.
