The Legend
I'll work on this a little bit at a time, but here's the start of the Legend:
Nimrod, great warrior and leader of his people, was getting old. His people had been scattered from their home to a dry, rocky place. As the tribe grew in numbers, Nimrod would hear the voice of Hadur, god of his people, telling him to go west, always west, to a promised land.
But now Nimrod was getting old, and he saw that his people were in need of new leaders who had the courage and strength to continue the pilgrimage to the new land. He saw that Hunor and Magyar were men capable of holding such positions--they were his own sons.
Seven moons ago Hunor and Magyar had set off on a hunt to catch a miraculous white stag, larger and more magnificent that any other of its kind. Now Nimrod was worried about their delay in return, and asked Hadur to speak to him.
Just then, the piercing cry of an eagle, holy bird of Hadur, rent the sky. As Nimrod looked up, he say a large eagle circling the sky, which he recognized as himself. Then two more took its place, flying together, his sons. Following them came a white eagle, and after that a red eagle, greatest and most powerful of all, Attila, who would finally lead his people to the promised land.
After he translated this to the people, a child asked him,
"But where are Honor and Magyar?"
"They are coming soon," replied Nimrod, "They are here, now!" he stated, as the people looked to see two strong young men riding towards them, their saddles laden with game.
Thats all of page one(of 7), hope to get more on soon.
