The Tale of Banshees that Cry

The Tale of Banshees that Cry(Maggie Kennedy) The Tale of Banshees that Cry

Go deep into the core of middle-earth, and you will surely hear noises resembling cries that are indescribable. Few know what these unorthodox cries represent, and those that are aware of what these sounds are telling us cringe with fear at the thought. The cries are of banshees, a forgotten creature that once dominated the grounds of middle-earth. Before Frodo and Sam, Gandolf and Smeagol, the creatures that would’ve been the well known’s of middle earth were the banshees. Why exactly are the banshee’s spirits crying? And where are the offspring of the ancestors located? These questions can be answered with a short tale, one in which we learn about the unique species.
“Nobody knows about us, and we don’t know about anybody, the only knowledge I carry with me of the other species is that of stories passed down from generation to generation” said Terrence of Sylvia, the youngest of the 28 banshees remaining on middle earth. “We need to get out of here, this cave is a prison that I am no longer interested in staying in”. There are few banshees that reside on middle-earth, when there used to thousands. The species once was the most dominate in all of middle-earth, each member standing at 7 ft tall and weighing in at 290 pounds. These menacing creatures were mean, they tore the animals that walked these grounds limb from limb for meals. One day Orcs surrounded the village that the banshees resided in. They stood about 1 mile away and prepared for the day they called E-DAY. There plan was to overpower banshees as the most powerful group in all of middle-earth, and they chose to do this by lighting the entire village on fire. It is a gruesome story, all of the banshees were killed, which is the reason people hear there screams coming from within there ground zero. Only two banshees survived, there names were Malkus, a male banshee, and Victorious, a female banshee. The two tried repopulating the banshee species but were only able to have 26 offspring until Malkus and Victorious were murdered by two orcs in another attempt at a sneak attack. Banshees will not die of natural causes, they will only die if they are killed. This is where the tale begins.
My name is Terrence, I am the youngest of the remaining banshees and I live to start a revolution between my remaining siblings. I am the only one that is not satisfied with hiding in a cave for my whole life. I want to get out and experience the world but everyone else does not agree with me. My goal is to sneak out of the cave and once again regain the label of the most dominate species of middle earth.
For hundreds of years I have planned my escape out of “Tunter”, which is the cave us remaining banshees have hid in for the past thousands of years. I know that I must be quick and be sneaky because Gus and Flexer, the oldest, and strongest banshees, guard the cave doors at night. My plan is not only to start a revolution within my group of banshees, but also to seek revenge against the Orcs. We are extremely outnumbered, but one thing that creatures may not know about us 28 banshees is that we have a specialized war tactic in which we all disappear and then reappear whenever we shut and open our eyes, which allows us to sneak attack past our enemies.
Today is finally the night. I will place a black cloak over my body and escape through the front doors of our cave past Gus and Flexer and I will once again reclaim supreme power for the banshees. I approached the doors, my heart and mind filled with fear as I began to regret the decision. I knew that they wouldn’t kill me if I were to be caught and knew that this was my only opportunity so I picked up to boulders and heaved them at the two guards knocking them out cold. The cave has soundproof walls where we lay to rest so that nobody has to hear the terrifying cries of our elders. Therefore nobody heard me knock down Gus and Flexer. I ran out of the caves and darted to a nearby forest. Fear was an understatement for what I was feeling, I was terrified as I ran around a place that I have never seen in my entire life. As I ran I bumped into something much smaller than me and tripped. I looked down and it was a thing I had never seen before. It was a creature with locks on his head, a strange nose and a strange face. He began to yell as loud as he possibly could for help, I convinced him that I was a good being and he went silent. We began to interrogate eachother and I learned that the creature was known as a hobbit and his name was Trevor. I explained to Trevor that I was a banshee and I told him what my mission was. He asked if he could assist and I assured him that it would be a difficult task. He volunteered anyways because he too hated the Orcs for killing his friend at a battle I had never heard of, it was called “The Battle of Helms Deep”. He got more friends and we created an army of 25, I ran back to the cave and told everyone that the walls were destroyed and that orcs were coming to scare everyone out. Everyone came out and we attacked a village of orcs, claiming our rights as the strongest group in middle-earth. Because of this we are not in a heated rivalry with other orcs, and we are always in great terms with the hobbits.
Our purpose as banshees is to help those that need help against the orcs, and we always want to be known as the most important species in the entire middle-earth.
