The land of Biena was a beautiful kingdom filled with incredible castles each with their own name. Though these castles were situated great distances away each was built incredibly similar. These great castles also had a network of underground wires like telephones joining each castle to the Palace of Birn ruled by Cotom. The Palace of Cotom was the castle where all decisions were made and the messages sent through the underground wires to other castles for protection of the land.
The land of Biena was a peaceful place where everyone coexisted peacefully. That was until the invasion of the Videstans. The Videstans were small people believed to be very dumb. They hated their own land and hated Biena for refusing them life in the land they wished to live in. They were kept out of Biena due to their terrible offences and Biena’s great defences and with a barrier of mountains surrounding Biena, there was only one way in and that was heavily guarded.
This time, the Videstans had a plan. Many years in planning, the underground tunnel they’d been working on was finished. The Videstans had broken into Biena! Thousands of Videstans climbed out of the hole they’d dug. Soon an army of massive size was ready to attack. The army marched and separated into smaller groups to take out the four major castles. Castle Bata, Inha Castle, Castle Exha and Castle Buli were the targets. Before arriving at each castle there were small groups of Bienans patrolling the land, they were all killed.
Castle Buli’s troops saw a massive army coming towards them, one they had not expected but were prepared for nonetheless. The defenders lined up outside and charged at the Videstans showing little mercy. Swords clashed, shields splintered and arrows flew in all directions. But, slowly the defenders were dying and a never-ending wave of Videstans slowly the defenders died. It was then that the Ruler of the castles sent the message to Cotom that they were defeated.
Each other castle attacked soon surrendered to the Videstans incredible numbers and surprising strength, each of them sending a message to Cotom that they were beaten. Biena’s freedom was slowly dying, even when Cotom had called for all the other castles to send their troops to try to recapture the take castles it didn’t work. What was worse was that Cotom saw an immense army of Videstans march to the Palace. Cotom looked at his beloved kingdom and pleaded for a miracle to happen but he knew it would never come. Biena was overrun and the troops were almost all dead.
It was then that Biena’s prayers were answered. Paratroopers armed with machine guns desended to the Palace of Birn to fight the Videstans this time the sound of guns were all that could be heard and the Videstans started running but they didn’t get far, they were all eliminated.
The people of Biena thanked these paratroopers for their help and bid the farewell with open hearts.

Your allegory works really well! It has the feeling of a myth or fairytale because of the language choices you have made and because of the names you have chosen. I like the way you set up the details so it is clear that you are looking at a living organism but you maintain the images of castles and warfare over the top of this.
