Here's something i came up with. Hope you like it, and yeah, i have bad gramma so i hope you will understand. Ghoul's Diary Dear diary, when i woke up, i coulden't remember what was i doing last night, i only remember some footmen, priests, a paladin and then nothing. So i lifted up, and saw that i'm sorawnded by zombie, spiders, some gargoyles and other dead things, i thougt that i was going to die, no exit, no escape, no nothing... After a few seconds i noticed that they are not attacking me. When i was praying the god to save me, I looked at my hands and saw that, they are not my hands anymore, infact, they are not hands at all, they are claws, and my skin and cloathes are all ragged and creepy, and my teeth are like shark's teeth, personaly i was shocked... After 5-10 minutes, when i was trying to convince myself that this is just a dream, some guy with a stuff and a wierd looking skull on hishead came to me and sad: "Come, the legion awaits." I was like paralized, i just couldent control myself, and that man's skin was all gray and, and dead... Only then I remembered what one of my friends sad, he sad that he just hates thos decating basterds, i couldent understand until now what he ment, and now i see and am the undead... After some explonations he told me where I am, how did i got here (he sad that hi brought me here, becouse i was drunk and there was no need in killing me). The dead dude led me to a gate, I was staring at that gate like a tauren at a cow. Then, at last, the gates opened and me and some other zombies and spiders went out, then i noticed that i'm the only one that is realy shocked. First i was ordered to harvest lumber, that damn Lich, he thinks if he is so "cool" then he can boss around? Well, anyway after a few houers of work all the ghouls were gathered to go for a fight, it was the so called, testing event, afcorse with some help from the Lich. We went to the battle, 3 of us died, by the way, there were only 5, i survived, but i was woonded, and the Lich told me: "eat some good fresh meet and you will fell better." I thought, what the hell, why does a lich carrys meat with him. But after he sad that, he pointed at the dead bodies, i felt realy bad, then the other ghoul that survived started to eat thos deceying bodies like a pig, and me beeing no difirent joined him. I thought it will be disgusting, but then it turned out realy tasy actualy. So after that, me and the other survived ghoul became good friends. His name "was" Bobby and my name "was" John. We were always togather. Then after i met some spiders, they told me that they are NOT spiders, they are Crypt Fiends, and they sad that thair Hero is so much cooler then that lich. Man, what could be "cooler" then a Lich? Only ice! But they explained me everything. Today we are going on a Ogre killing mission. The Fiend sad that Ogres are usualy 2 headed dumbasses, but they can hit realy hard. I was a little fritened, So we got to the ogres, and there were 3 ogres, 1 of them was all blue. afcorse when we bigan the attack, the gouls, as some cannon meat, were infront, and after 2 hits with a club,i noticed that maby the ogres are dumb, bit they can sure hit real hard. I couldent stand the fift hit and with my last will, i crouched to the nearest ghoul corpses, good thing it wasn't Bobby. After i was finished eating, the ogres were defeated, 3 ghould, again, were lost. We were just standing and waiting, i asked the Fiend, what are we waiting for? He sad that a Necromancer will soon arive. He arived, and insted of 3 ghouls we had 3 live Skeletons, too bad that they can't properly talk. So anywayz, me and Bobby got sent to harvest the lumber, again, when the rest of the army went to the war, they sad that we are not expirienced enough. And so our lumber gathering days begun... We were harvesting lumber for about 3 houers, then i noticed an orc funning around here, when the orc stopped i silently sneeked up on him, but sidenly he turned around and knocked me out. When i woke up, i saw Bobby, the Fiend and a Necromancer, i asked them who was that orc? They sad that it was just a Peon, a orc worker, they sad that it's ok to be knocked down by an orc, and still sirvive. After that insident i was afraid of orcs. Later that day the Necromancer intrudused to us, the Abomination. He sad that this is our ultimate weapon and we are going to try it out tomorow. After that some Acolytes called me, Bobby and some other ghouls to help them with something, when we got to the place, i saw a strange contraption, something like a big metalic monster, we helped them build it, but they sad that to load it up, they need some corpses. So we went to hunt down some easy preys. There were 4 of us, and we met a night elf, she was amazing, if I was alive i would surly fall in love withe her, but my undead instinct forced me and the other ghouls to attack her. We kinda liked killing elfs, but one ghoul got shot in the leg so it took us a little more time to gather corpses. And so we brought the gathered corpses back to the acolytes, they were basicly corpses of peasents and gnolls, but they were corpses non the less. When the so called Meat Wagon was complete, the Lich sad that it would be a great artelery weapon. After we proved how loyel we can be, they took us into the army. Later that night, when all the undead went to thair graves and stuff, i couldent sleep, i was so eksited that i'm in the army. After a few minutes, i heard something, something in the trees, or in the bushes, I thought that Bobby was trying to scare me, but then i saw that there was someone, and it was not undead, i silently crouched to the tree, and a night elf on some animal jumped out of the forest, scearing me! In a panic i hitted the animal thus making it run away in fear, but the elf jumped, and threw some 3 bladed weapong at me, it hitted my arm realy bad, when she was starting to finish me, the abomination crushed her with his axe, he sliced her into two peaces. Then the rest of the army came to me, and Bobby carried me to the Crypt... As i was brought to the Crypt, they putted me on a grave and started to talk about something, i was to weak to understand, everything was starting to get blury and the voices were faiding, and then everything became black... And then, i had a dream, that i'm a Dreadlord, and summoning an Infernal from the sky, i was so happy. Some humans attacked me, but the Infernal smashed them into peaces, then a Paladin came and we bigan to fight, i putted him to sleep and then summoned another infernal, and the carrier swarm, and the power, and the killing MUHAHAHA, but then, i woke up. I opened my eyes and infront of me were standing a Abominati,on, a Necromancer, the Lich, Bobby and 2 more ghouls. Some squick little voice from the back, saying: "Well, how do you like it?" I turned around and saw a red little goblin, seeing how confused i am, the Necromancer sad that, it's a felgoblin, he got "infested" by the demon blood, he's name is Jin'Kal. I wanted to ask what did he ment by "how do you like it" but then i felt that my arm, that shoulden't be there, is kinda heavy, i looked at it, and insted of an arm, I had 3 sharp, metal, rusty claws. I staered at them for a few seconds, and then was trying to move them, and i sicseeded, everyone cheered, becouse the army now has a ultimate ghoul. Few houers later, we went to hunt down some humans. Seeking for a nearest village we encountered a destroyed village, and saw some orcs there, there were about 3 with axes and 2 on wolves with big swords, we charged at them, and i remembered what that little orc worker did to me, so i was trying to be caerful, and sliced one orc's face, he couldent even hit me, i was getting the hang of the claw. When 2 Orcs with axes and 1 orc with a sword were killed, Bobby, me and an abomination began to eat. While eating, i siddenlt heard an orc ROAR, i raized my head and an orc with an axe was trying to chop Bobby, i jumbed with my metal claw infront, and the blades went threw the orcs belly, but i was a bit too late, bobby was killed, his head got splitted in half... I carried his corpses to the base. When we got to the base, the Lich sad, that Bobby will still be a part of our army, and i understood everything. After a few minutes the Necromancer intodused to me, the Skeleton Orcs, he sad that orcs have the strongest bones, and good axes, so we now have a better army, from a Lich, 2 Necromancers an Abomination, 3 Skeleton orcs, 2 Skeleton warriors, a Meat Wagon, 3 Fiends and 4 ghouls, including me. And so, with our army beeing not that big (to take over a city), we wanted to make it bigger! They sent a fresh ghoul to scout, to the west of our base. Meanwhile, me and the Necromancer were discussing some things, i was asking questions and he was answering. First i asked, "can i bee anything more then a ghoul?" His answer was so long that i don't even remember it, but all i remember that, i can be a metalic ghoul, a "part" of an Abomination, or a Lich. I sked: "why can't i become, for example, a dreadlord?" he sad that dreadlords are born, not made, and with a face like mine, and no wings, i would be a bad dreadlord. So i asked that if i can't become a dreadlord, why can i become a lich? He sad that a Lich, is basicly a realy smart skeleton, and that i can still become a skeleton. I started to think... John, The Great Lich. Nah, that sounds kinda, not undeadish, so i need a new name. I asked the Necromancer, can undeads, as in, ghouls, fiends, abominations, change thair names? He sad: "Afcores, they even SHOULD change thair names, becouse if the abomination was made out of 3 people, do you think we will call him a 3 people name?" So i started to think, what name should i have. I asked the necromancer, if there is a place where you can find help to pick a name. He sad that we will surly help. So he began to look at me from all sides and sad :"Ner'Tharus!" I asked, what kind of a name is that? He sad that almost all great undead, have that kind of names, Ner'Zhul for example. Afcorse i had no idea who is it, so i just sad: "oh, right, Ner'Zhul... Ok i take the name!" And from now on, i am Ner'Tharus. And when i was about to ask him about Liches, the ghoul scout was running to the base and screaming: "HERE-h THEY COME!!!" everyone looked at him and saw a big crowd of villagers with swords, pikes, spears and stuff like that trying to catch him. After they entered our base, they stopped and opened thair mouths, the necromancer, with a nasty smile, sad: "Lets make some skeletons." I looked at him and smiled, while all our army was running to battle. I was surprized when thos villagers were gathering up for a tacticle formation, it means: ones with spears and pikes infrons and the others with swords behind. And when i got closer, i noticed that there were some Footmen, about 3 or 4, and 8 villagers. Our army was running to them with the abomination infron, us ghouls, with the skeletons, behind him, and the others behind us, all the spears and pikes went into the abomination, but hi was still alive and managed to kill 4 villagers and a footman, then the skeletons began to attack, and afcores we were next. I, as the most powerful ghoul, was right after the skeletons. With one hit, i woonded 2 villagers, forcing them to drop thair weapon, and then i saw a footman which killed 2 skeletons, i coulden't understand why, but i rushed to him, and we blocked my metal claw with his shield, i started to think fast and, with my normal claw, hitted his legs, he fell and, cutting threw his helmet, i slaughtered with face, and squished his brains out. I raised my head and saw our victory.' We lost all of our skeletons, 2 ghouls and an abomination. But after a few hours of summoning and sruff, the Lich and the 2 Necromancers, reised 6 skeleton warriors. I asked the Necromancer,: "Why only 6? You can rase them all, can't you?" He sad that proper skeletons could be done only from not damaged bones. But after we defieted all of them, i saw a woman in the trees, a human, unarmed woman, I wanted to catch her, but she ran away. I yeled :"A spy, in the trees, she's getting away!" I was starting to run after her, but the Lich stopped me and sad:" you are to valuable to our army, we can't risk your life." So they sent 2 skeletons and a ghoul. Whyle everyone was waiting for a respons from the skeletons and a ghoul, i wanted to improve myself, by maby adding some armore. I looked around, and saw a dead footman, with armore, i ran to the corpses, and thought, "nah, beeing in a HUMAN armore is not good, so i grabed his shield and went to Jin'Kal, the goblin. When i got to him, he was in a tent by the way, i asked if he can get this on me somehow. He looked at the shield, looked at me, and with a smile on his face sad: "sure, why not." I was beginning to suspect that he wants to do something not nice. But, he just went to his work tabel, grabed a chain, a hammer and a big thing that looks like a BIG nail, and started hitting the shild, i couldn't quite see what he was doing, but i was realy interested. So, i got bored of waititing and went outside, the life, erm i mean, the death was going on, necromancers tried to resuract some more skeletons, the lich was watching at them like they were some idiots, and the ghouls were in a duel, 2 ghouls fighting, that was funny to watch. Then Jin'Kal whisled and sad:" hey Ner'Zharus, come here" he showed the armore he made, and it was increddible, he made a chest armor and 2 shoulderpads, out of one shield, the chest armore was holding on chains, and the shoulder pads, on ropes. And it was actualy realy comfertible, i thanked him and went to the Lich. I was near him and he saw my armore and sad: "That looks nice, did Jin'Kal did it for you?" i answerd yes. He raized his thumb up, and right after that, I heard some bones falling apart. The Ghouls and the skletons regrouped, the range were in the back of us, and the meat wagon was ready to fire. We heard something in the forest, someone running, it was getting closer, that someone is in armore, and there are many of them. We began to wait, and one ghoul couldent stand it and ran into the forest. We stood there and waited, what will happen. Then we heard a human voice: "Died undead scum!" and the sound of death from our ghoul, the Lich ordered to fire the meat. It flyied and 4 trees were "shot" down. And from the forest came out a whole army of footmen and 4 priests. The Necromancer yeled: "CHAAAARGE!!!!" everyone went to battle. Suddenly, i felt some kind of huge anger and pain inside me, and everything was getting red. When i got to the first fooman i was attacking so fast that even i couldent see my hands, his armore was crashed by my metal claw and with my ragular claw, i hitted his hand, thus making him throw out the sword and that sword went throw our skeleton and into the priests head. And with that footman beeing harmless, I chopped him into two halfs. When he was falling apart i saw throw him that another priest was stitting infront of the dead priest and saying some words. I was interupted by a hit into the left shoulder, whitch was protected by a shoulderpad, i turned around and with a single hit knocked out the footman's shield, but that didn't stop him, he was already swinging his sword. I blocked it with my metal hand and i poked his eyes out with my claws, he screamed for a while and fel down. Then a ray of light blinded my right eye, i turned around and saw that the priest ressuracted the other priest. And i ran to them, they were firing at me with some kind of magic, it hurted, and i was stunned, i was beginning to fade, and the last thing i saw, was a dead boddy from the sky, splating them to peaces. I was out cold, and on the next day i woke up in my grave, i asked : "what happend, did many of our troops died?" the necromancer sad: "shhh, you need rest, the spell isn't cured yet" And it was getting darker and darker, the Lich with the Necromancers were casting something on me, and the last thing i saw an abomination, with a big happy smile, walking twords me... And so when then necromancers were curing me, i had a dream, again i was a Dreadlord, but the palading was defeting me, so i teleported myself to a random place, and it was Stormwind, where i uset to live, when i was alive, i just stood there and everything was like i'm alive, i looked at my hands, and i saw that.... that, i was alive, and everything was so clean, beutyful but it was starting to get all dark, and was... dieing.... including me, and then i heard an evil laughter, not some ragular laghter, i heard some kind of a double laughter, i don't know. So anyway, i woke up from a shock, like a knife or something. I saw the necromancers, the Lich, as usual... but then i was a formiliour smile, it was the Abomination, and the necromancer sad: "say hello to John, he's the main part of this abomination" i almost cried, and he sad, with a funny abominationish accent : "Hi Ner'Tharus!" Afcorse i was interested in what was that magic that stunned me. So i asked the Necromancer, and his answer was, as usual, realy big, but i understood one thing, that priests can be realy dangerous. So i asked, : "Can maby there be an Orc Priest?" The Necromancers answer was this: "I think not, becouse they are not that "good" to have priests." I knew that he said it like that so that i would understand, but i got the point anyway. And i asked to be sure: "Are you sure, how do you know?" he sad: "Becous we have some orc allys, Trolls and Taurens too." Cool! and i wanted to meet at least one of them. When i got out i was so happy to see our army becomse a little bigger. And I saw some kind of black smock always following me, i asked the Necromancer: "What's with the smoke? Is that some kind of a thing after you cured me?" He sad: "No, just look a little closer." I did how he sad, and saw a black skeleton like spirit, and the necromancer sad: "We call them shades, they are sacrifised acolytes, they are now our best scouting troops. And he is following you, becouse we gave him to your group, you now have control of this little group." the Necromancer pointed at the 6 skeletons, 4 ghouls, 2 fiends, a necromancer and a meat wagon, with John standing near it. I was amaized, and the Lich sad: "Do you know that you are the third undead creature that we succesfuly cured?" I sad: "Did everyone else died after a spell like that?" he just wayved his head said: "yes...." Then i went to my little army, and asked Johny, : "What is your undead name now?" he answerd, with a toothy smile: "It's Stinkus" I was tring not to laugh, but then Johny, erm, Stinkus laught and sad, : "It's ok, you can laugh, we know that it's funny!" My first asignment with my army, was to destroy a human outpost. It was somewhere in the west from our base. I sent the Shade first. When he got back, he sad that there are 4 footmen, 2 priests, and a knight. I had no idea who is a "knight", well i know it's a good warrior, but i didn't knew how good that one is, so i went there. The Shade showed the way, and after we got there, i ordered my troops to meat them all up, when they charged the meat wagon, I sad: "Kill at least one priest." The meat in the air reminded me of the time i was alive, but then i realized, that beeing undead is better then beeing alive, by this time,if i was living, I wouldiv anly been a little footman, and was frightened by the undead i had to kill, but now, when i'm dead, i am the one who they should fear! And then i heard a splat, and saw 4 bloody footman funning twords us, the skeletons were first to, after them went the 4 ghouls, and then me and Stinkus. I saw the priest casting something, i ordered one of the ghouls to attack him. The ghoul killed him, but the priest did finish his spell, destroying my skeletons! A footman, with a scream, charged at me, i was ready to defend his attack with my metal claw, but before i even get to hit him, Stinkus, with his mighty hit, punched him away into the forest, the footmans scream got lounder and a little more, well, cheared. After the footmen were defieted, the knight was charging at us, i ordered the ghouls to attack him, and Stinkus was charging the meat wagon. I was looking at the meat wagon, to see how the meat will fly, and i saw a dead ghouls boddy, land infront of my feet, i looked at the knight, and saw that he is realy armored and on a horse, and he killed 2 ghouls! But i saw his weak spot, the head was not protected, and i ran to help my ghouls. When I got a little closer, i jumped on his face, but he blocked me with his sword, the good thing that his sword was bloacked by my chest armore, but he still threw me away, and sliced another ghoul's head. It brought back the memory of John's death, and I saw that the Necromancer sent 2 skeletons to kill the knight, but the knight ran a little back, i thought that he was retreating, but then i saw a big splat of blood and meat, right after he ran away, then i looked at the necromancer, he casted some kind of a spell at me, I felt the anger and the pain again, and everything was starting to get red, and I remembered the insident with that footman, and I jumped at the knight again, he wanted to block me again, but i, with my metal hand, hitted his sword, and it fel to the ground, and with an evil smile on my ugly ghoul's face, with my normal claw, i ripped his face, and his brain fell out, i saw the other ghoul catched it and ate it. But the horse was still alive, I remembered how to ride a hores and was tring to ride it to our base, but she was too scared so the necromancer had to paralize her, and Stinkus took her back to the base. When we were going to the base, i took a last look at the camp, smiled, was starting to turn around, and then saw something moving in one of the tents. I came closer, slowly, looked inside a tent and saw a frietened woman, then my memory flashed before me, and i remembered that, it's my wife, she was all in tears, i wanted to say "don't be sceared" but all i sad was "huahiaaah hawur" and something inside me, like sad something like, "Kill her!!!" in some kind of a icy way. And i just slaughtered her face, i coulden't contoll my self, i thought i was going to cry, but some one pushed my in the back, and i heard and grumpy, brutal voice saying: "Daboo" i turned around and saw a big, muscular orc with a hammer, 2 grunts, 2 trolls and a rider. I, afcorse, didn't know what did daboo mean, so i sad, "greetings" Wellm didn't thought that they understand me, but they did. And so we went t our base, the orc explained evrything to me, by the way, he's name was Gark'Nal, and we got to the base, and the lich sad :" Gark'Nal! Great to see you again!" and then i first saw our orc allys... The Lich and Gark'Nal were talking, and meanwhile i asked the Necromancer: "what is the Liches real name." he sad that it's Nuzgar. And so I, afcore, wanted to know the Orcish language, and the necromancer sad :"Go to Jin'Kal, he was a close freind to orcs, and still is, so he can teach you the orcish language." I went to the goblin and saw him warking on something, i slowly came a little closer, he turned around and was holding some kind of a backpack with two claw like things coming out of it, and it had some levers, and stuff. He putted the backpack on his back, and sad :"Ah, just like in good old days. So, what can i do you for?" I answerd: - Well, i wanted to learn the Orcish language, can you maby help me? And what's with the backpack? - Ah, just a little helping hands of mine, and a good weapong too, i had them when i was a Tinker, and i loved them so much, so i wanted to build them again. And about you orcish language prob, i think i have a few books left, somwhere... He bulled some lever on that backpack, and the laws bigan to take every book in the bookcase realy fast, and then he sad:"Oh, there it is!" And pulled out a big book with an orcish name. - This will help you alot! - he sad and gave me the book. - Thanks you Jin'Kal, thank you very much. I went to my grave, got 2 candles and began to read... After a few houers of reading, my hunger grown, and i needed to eat someone. I went out, saw our army saying ferwel to the orcs and the orcs walked away, i ran to the necromancer, and asked: "Where can i find some fastfood?" he pointed at some stags waling around in the forest, and sad: "Right over there." I rushed to a tree that was the nearest to them, crawled up a little, waited until one of them turned around, and jumped to the next tree and from that tree I pounced at that stag, grabing it with my clwas I ripped it into two halfs with my metal claw, and started to fieast. After my little meal, our forces were gathering up, I was slowly heading to the base, and a hard bash on the head knocked me out... I woke up in somekind of a cage, infront of a biiiig gate, and saw a peasent standing to the left of me, and afcorse beeing angry that someone bashed me, i tried to kill him, then i noticed that some little beardy guy is standing at the right of me, and smiling, with a hammer and an axe, then i thought, that a peasent coulden't bash me that hard, so it must be him. The little beardy guy sad: "We'll have sum fun with you ledy" and he continued smiling, but the funny thing isn't that, the funny thing is that I understood him, that was wierd. Then, the big gate opened, and i heard a crowd cheering, the beardy guy was as tall as a half man, but strong a two in a half men, and brought me onto somekind of an arena. The peasent and that beardy guy ran away, and i was starting to panic, so many people, this is gana be tough. And thought that, i won't be able to defieat them, so i was trying as hard as i can to crack the cage open, and i did it! I jumped out, was looking around and saw the same gate not so far away, as the one i was brought in. And it was openning, then i saw some creature comming out of that gate, it was a gnoll. With his toothy smile, he ran to me and tried to hit me. I jumped on the cage and from the cage i pounced on the gnoll, his weapon droped on the ground, which was an axe, and that's strage too, and i was holding his two hands on the ground, he, like the dog he is, was grouling, and stuff like that, then i quicly changed the posission of my metal claw with my leg, so that i would have something to kill him with, and my sharp "fingers" went right threw his chest. The Crowd was again cheering, and then i noticed that they are cheering at me. I went to the cage, and two humans carried the dead gnoll away, and then I found out that i'm just beeing used to entertain them, me, the great army leader Ner'Tharus is beeing used as a puppet! And so I was planning how to ascape. Then two realy armored foormen ran to me, i thought that they were going to kill me, but i was ready to fight, and someone grabed my neck from behind, and the two footmen grabed my hands, and they threw me into the cage, but it was a new cage, becouse i broke that one. And so my life as a "gladiator" began, but every second i was planning to escape from this human prison, and when they caried me to somekind of a dungeon, they threw me out of the cage and into a cell. I realized that my escape wont be today, and fell asleep... Once again, when i was dreaming, that dream continued, everything dying, and me too. When everything was dead I thought that i would stop "diying", i was already a ghoul, but i was continuing dying and decaying, I was a little sceared, then my claws got smaller, and turned into hand, skeleton hands, and i heard that laughter again, that twin, icy laugher... Then i woke up from a voice of a human saying :"Get up you bag of bones!" I opened my eyes and saw a footman infront of me and i remember all thos battles with them, I smiled and jumped on that footman, ripping him into many peaces. From his scream The other guard came to my cell, and locked it, I saw that they were frightened. One of them ran away for some reason, and I was stearing at the two other guard, with a nasty smile. They were look from side to side, trying to hide thair fear, but then they both turned around, and were greeting someone. I looked out of my cell, and saw a priest comming this way. Luckly I was close enough to grab on of the guards. I grabed his leg, from the fear that he was expiriencing, he droped his sword, and i was pulling him into my cell, he was screaming so loudly that the priest quickly ran to my cell. With one finger on my metal claw, i sliced the guard's neck, thus killing him, when the priest got to my cell, he was shocked, and I knew that hi will use some magic to stop me, but now I was smarter, i used the guard as a shield, he was standing there, and thinking. Then he sad something to the other guard to his left, and that guard ran away, i was starting to get confused. After that, the priest took 2 steps back, dropped his staff, closed his eyes and stood on his knees, and bigan to talk, like, like strage. The other guard was stearing at the priest, and i took the dead guard's shield,putted the dead guard on the floor slowly, and threw the shield into the guard that was standing tnfront of me. That guard was knocked out,and i saw that some magicle effects were surrownding the priest, i imidiatly grabed the sword of the dead guard, whitch was knocked outand threw it into the priest, but that sword just flew away, I was starting to panic. I went to the corner of my cell, slowly, and covered myself with the dead guard, and i was peeking from behind his shoulder. Then that priest stoped talking strange, and slowly stood up, tool his staff, and opened his eyes, they were glowing with a white light. He raized his hand and the last thing i sas was a realy bright ray of light, then i was out cold... I woke up in my cell, and thought, was it a dream or something? But then i saw that there's a forest troll running by behind my prison bars. I rushed to the bars and saw all the cells broken. And behind the wall to my left i heard a goblinish voice:"Fire in the hole!" And then a big blast which knocked out thair wall and made a little hole in my back wall. I managed to crouch out of there and thanks the goblins. And i saw so many creatures running away from that arena, and so did I. Afcores not knowing where is my base, I was walking around for a few houers, and then realized that it is already night, and in the night, it's dengerous for an undead to be in a forest, so a made a little camp. I just took down 2 small trees, with my claw afcores, and made a little shelter, cutted some branches and made a campfire. I was getting sleepy, i dug a hole in the ground, and it reminded me of my good old grave, and went into it, covered it with sticks and leaves so that noone could find me. But i didn't even get to sleep when i heard human voices, they were saying something, i coulden't understand, but they were walking near me (my grave) and what do you know? one of thos stupids fell into my grave, thus ruining my cover. The only thing i couldov done is to cut his back with my metal claws, and they went right through him, then 2 footmen a priest and some beardy guy were looking into my grave, i threw the dead footman into the priest, and jumping out of my "grave" i sliced one footman's face, but the other one hitted my leg, I was woonded, and only then i saw that, that beardy dude is on a horse, and not short, and he was with a staff like the priest. I first thought that it was a more powerful priest. With my leg woonded, i fell to the ground and tried to, at least, hit the footman's leg, and i sukseeded, thus dropping the footman on the ground, i turned around, and thought that i could kill that bierdy dude, but then he just fired somekind of a fireball at me, i started to think quick, and blocked it with my metal claw, and afcores that claw was broken. But with my other claw steal beeing normal, i ripped the horses leg of, and that bierdy dude fell down. He was not moving, but then i heard a human scream, with anger, and thurst for death, I turned around and saw that the woonded foorman was trying to kill me. I eveded his attack, and sliced his other leg, thus making him unmoveble. And when my victory was asure, I saw that priest standing up, and slowly heading to the bierdy dude. I sneaked up to him, using the almost dead horse as a cover, and jumped on him, my claw went right through his head. I thought that there could be night elves, bah. And after the battle, i bigan to feast on the corpses, but it was not easy with only one claw.[size=2] After my meal, i got back into my "grave" and fel asleep. Then i woke up from footsteps, lots of footsteps, like an army is running by, and when i peeked out, i was right, it was an army of orcs charging something. I looked at where they were heading, and saw thougsends, and shousands of night elf archers, and night elf on tigers, and so many others. And then i bigen to think, rush the night elfs, or run to safety, and my wooned arm helped me answer my question, I felt such pain, like my hand was burning and freezing at the same time. I scneaked out from the other side of my "grave", and throu thousends of orcs, i managed to escape deeper into the woods. There i met a woonded necromancer, he was holding on his staff, and his heand were shaking like leafs, I was a little confused, what is he doing here? I quickly ran to him and asked: -What's the matter, who did this to you? -It... it was.... ahhh... He turned his head to the left (from me) and pointed there. I looked there and saw, nothing. I wanted to say that there's nothing there, but he died... I had two misterys in my head: 1.) What is this necromancer doing here. 2.) What exactly killed him. I caerfuly went to the diraction where the necromancer has pointed, and there was steal nothing. I thought maby there's someone standing in invisibility, and bigan to attack the air with my claw. But still nothing... I was looking in the bushes, trees, everywhere, and found, nothing. Then i went to the necromancer to see, maby his woonds would help me figure out who killed him, But there was only a big slice on his boddy. And that couldov been anyone with a sharp object. And just of interest, I wanted to see, what's written in the necromancer's book. When I grabed it with my claw, it was starting to fall, and with my woonded claw i wanted to stop it from falling dawn, but again the pain, that pain was driving me mad. I looked at that claw, that wasn't there that is, and saw my bone, but it was interesting becouse that bone was choped off. Did the necromancer's book did it? I had no idea, but I opened the book without taking it from the ground. There were written some kind of runes, I afcorse didn't understand them. And i saw a picture with runes written on the ground and somekind of, fire maby, comming out of the gound, i don't know, it was a black and white picture. I tried to write the same runes as on the picture, and when i was finished, I was so axisited that something magicle would happen, but nothing happened  . Then I closed the book and was beginning to leave, but I fell to the ground from the pain... I thought, maby that's becouse the woond is opened, and ripped some of the necromancer's cloathes, he didn't mind. And closed the woond, it didn't bleed, and the pain stopped. I looked around, and went to the north, to the north from me that is.On my way I didn't encounter anything special, just trees, bushes, some plants and forest tuff. But then I saw an opened area, with no trees, no nothing, just grass, and light was comming from the sky. I slowly went there. Stoped. Looked around, and saw something shyning. Caerfuly went to it. And it was a sword, just a basic footman sword. I thought that maby there is some one still here, and I was right, It was a Paladin! I got sceared and didn't know what to do. With an angry face, he looked at me, raized hi hammer and opened his book, and started saying somekind of strange words. I knew that with only 1 claw, I can't defeat him, and ran away. I was trying to hide behind a tree, but then i realized that it is stupid becouse he just knocked down the tree with his hammer! I began to run again, and found a little hole, I had no idea whos hole was it, but I didn't care eather. I jumped into it and hoped that he didn't see me. After I heard some heavy footsteps above my head, I noticed that he didn't see me. He grouled and walked away. I was starting to get out of the hole, but then the paaain!!! My hand again! Then I thout that I won't get far with this damn acking hand, so I fell asleep. When I woke up, I looked at my wounded hand, and it was cured, sort of... It was no longer a claw, but a skeleton arm. I was amaized, and still thought that it was the work of that necromancers book. I didn't know why, but I felt some kind of power in that arm, but it was just a pafetic skeletal arm! But the only thing that I was glad about is that the pain was gone, and I hoped that it won't return... And once again, I began my jurney. I went deeper into the forest, and saw blight, dead ladns, I was starting to be happy and folowed the blight and saw undead buildings, but unfortunatly, they were burning, and some were destroyed, noone around, well at least I thought so, firtuinatly it wasn't our base, and i heard something in the bushes, or trees behind me. I turned around, and it was him again, that Paladin. But I noticed that it wasn't me who was his target, we was looking in all diractions, and I saw a Lich. But the Lich didn't try to fight the Paladin, but he was trying to escape him, it looked like he was tiered, and woonded. The Paladin pulled out his book and stared to react, and hittet the book. He looked at it fly, and with an angry face, turned at me. He charged at me with a viseous "ROAR", but the lich stopped him with his icy spell. The paladin lied down on his one knee, looked at the ground, slowly standing up, he threw his hammer whitch killed the Lich. I didn't know what to do. Then i thought that without his weapon and spells, he would be defenceless, I was wrong... He punched me in my jaw, and I flew away. When I was in the air, it was like when i died, every moment of my life flashing before my eyes, and the time seemed to slow down... When I hitted the ground, I couldov bearly move. The Paladin, thinking that I was dead, slowly waled to his hammer. And I saw a Lich right beside the hammer, but he was, how i noticed, invisible to the paladin. And then I saw that it's the liches spirit. He floated to me quicly, and I was hoping he would tell me what to do. I wanted to ask him something, I don't remember what, but the pain in my skeletal arm started, and it burned, and freezed, like there was somekind of battle of ice and fire in my hand. And I looked at the Lich, and with a weak voice sad: "help... me..." he walked back a little, and started casting something, that was strange becouse his a spirit, but then he flew into my hand, and the PAIN was even harder. The pain suddenly stopped, and i felt myself better. I looked at my hand, and it was glowing, it was a blue glow. But a hammer hitted my back, and I was once more, knocked out... When I opened my eyes the first thing i thought was "Oh great, i'm captured again" but I wasn't, and that realy surprised me. I stood up, and saw noone near me, just the same place (a destrayed undead base) where i was knocked out. I remembered the lich and looked at my hand, it was almost all a skeletal hand, and i thought i was going to turn into a skeleton... Anyway, i went to find someone or something on the ruined undead base. The only thing I found was skeletons, but they were not much of undead skeletons, just lying on the ground. I heard someone running in the forest. I hided behind the nearest ruined building. The sound of the footsteps was beginning to become louder, and louder. And I saw a night elf running out of the forest, but he was a male night elf, and had two blades in his hands. And in the moment I thought that i was going to die, but he just ran away, I don't think he even noticed me. But right after he ran about 10 meters from the forest, one tree colapsed from a hit of that paladin's hammer. In a shock, I ran into the forest, but i didn't see where that night elf went. I was almost behind the trees, behind my safety, and something sparkled right infront of me. I stopped only becouse of the sparcle, and it saved my life, It was that night elf swifting his blade right before my face. He jumped out, with an angry face, and in "battle mod" you might say, and started looking at me. I was saying to myself, "oh no no no, please not again, i'm tired from all this fighting." And I heard a scream, a battle roar even, and I realized that it was the paladin. The night elf ran past me and they started fighting. I thoght that i don't need to bother them, and slowly went into the forest. Walking throw that forest i encountered a lot of trees... But seriously, there was nothing just forest stuff, no enemys no nothing, it kinda creaped me out. After 2 or maby 3 houers of walking i got tiered, and needed to rest. I was searching for a quiet place to rest, and found a dead ghoul. And another dead ghoul, and three more! And some dead Fiends, and skeleton bones, and a dead necromancer... I was shocked from all this, i mean I saw some dead things, but this was not like it. Then i realized that that lich, that necromancer, they were a part of this army, and were all killed by someone else. I was searching for maby something that might help me find out who killed them. And i found a dead orc, with an axe... I was confused, and thought that maby that or was helping the undead. But right after i raized my head, i saw a orc, an orc like the one that is lying on the ground, is running twords me, with a brutal expression on his face, and an axe in his hands. The first thing i thinked of was to kill him until he could get closer to me, and grabed the dead orc's axe and threw it into him. The axe indeed stopped him, but unfortunatly, I only managed to woond his right shoulder. He took the axe out of his shoulder and threw it on the ground, then continued running at me. But his hand was woonded, and I took advanteg of that. When he got close enough, I avoided his axe hit and grabed the woonded hand, ran behind him, and pulled it. He was screaming so loud that even the birds flew away. And the only thing I could do is just slice my claw throw his boddy. And so i did... But that was harder then slicing some else. And then I realized that an ally is not always your friend. After killing another victim, I was looking around, waiting for more enemys, but strangly, noone apeared, and i went forword. I heard a voice, a preaty, and a soft voice, it was saying something that i didn't understand. Then the voice got a little angry, I was getting closer, and then even more angry, I was getting even more closer, and behind the next tree I saw a night elf, with a glave, like the one whitch chopped my hand off. She was like, aiming at something, and saying something again. She ran away, realy fast, I wanted to know what was she attacking or something. Then I saw an abomination, and about 5 night elves were trying to kill it. With 1 strike the abomination threw away one of them, that one was with a stuff. Then I saw one elf, a male elf, walking away, and his hands started to glow with some green light. I realized that it can't be good, and ran twords him, attacking his leg. He screamed and turned at me with a REALY realy "mad" face, took his stuff out, and was about to hit me. With my skeletal hand, i stopped the stuff, grabed it, and was trying to pull it. But his was stronger then me, with all thos musculs. But then an unexpected thing happenned, my hand was starting to smoke, but not with a black smoke, but with a blue smoke, and the stuff started to freez. Me and the elf were shocked. His quickly dropped the stuff and kicked me in the face. I flew away for about 2 meters, stood up, and threw the stuff at him, but the funny thing is that I, don't know why, but I was sure that it was a spear. After I threw the stuff I remembered that it's just a stuff, just a pafetic stick. But the night elf was like amaized, and eveided the stuff. After he eveided the stuff, i noticed that it had a sharp ice ending, just like a spear... And then i found out why did that lich flew into my hand But right after that night elf eveided the "spear" he got sliced into two halfs by the abomination. The abomination smiled at me and we started devouvering the corpses. UPDATE! After out meal, he sad: "We gO kiLl puNy eLfs," then pointed to a corropted part of the forest and sad: "yOu Go tHere." I sad Ok, and went into the forest. But when i was about to enter the forest, the earth started shaking, and I saw the abomination running to kill someone, I smiled and wanted to leave, but then I saw that they have him outnumbered. He got cought in some kind of roots, trying to kill anyone near him, he killed about 2 or 3 elf, but the other fired at him with bows, and magic. I rushed to kill the closest one, it was a night elf female with a bow. The first thing i did was hitted the bow, but acidently chopped off her hand, she grould and with her other hand putted out her glave and started to attack me. She struck me in the chest, it began harder to breath, and with a huge amount of anger, I sliced her leg, becouse it was the only thing I could reach (elf are tall you know!). She turned her head around and sad something in an, again, uknown language for me and 2 more elfs turned around and began to charge me. Meanwhile the abomination was doing better then me, unfortunatly he lost 1 hand, but that was not a big problem, he had 3 of them. And so, thos two elf that were charging me, had swords, and I realized that they were no match for me, and started to run closer to the abomination. He had about 5 more enemys left, but suddenly, a wave of ice just flushed them away. It was an Undead, he looked a lot like human, but that didn't matter then. The abomination and me took care of thos two elf that tried to attack me. And so I left to the corrupted part of the forest... While walking in the forest, i found a skeleton, but not just an ordenary skeleton, he was covered in ice, I thought that it was that Undead, with his frost wave, but then, a little further i found some more dead elf and human bodys, also frozen, and among then, were lying around some bracers with chains on them, and a wierd looking dress. Then i remembered that the Lich had that euipment on him! I was a little frightened that our champion has fallen in battle, but by the looks of it, he did a good job. When i was about to grab the bracers and other stuff, my skeletal hand hurted realy hard, and again, it began harder to breath... I looked at my chest and saw not just a wound, i saw my whole skeletal body! It was like i was decaying! After that big amount of pain, i fainted... When i woke up, without knowing how long was I out, I started to feel better, infact, i didn't fell cold, or warm, I didn't feel anything I looked at my hands, and saw that my normal claw, became skeletal, but the skeletal one grew long claws on it. I remembered thos hands from somewhere. After few seconds of thinking, i remembered that the Lich had the same hands/claws! i thout that his equipment cursed me! I was searching for it near me, and coulden't find it. And only after looking around, i found it on me... It seemed that i was cursed from the start to become a Lich... that's why everyone treated me so... And now, with all this power of spells, and destructive magics, i went to my base camp. I saw it like a vission now. When i came back, we almost half of our army left then. I realized that they need me, they need me to bring victory to the Scourge, for I am now, thair champion! This is the end, good luck and have a nice day! |
