ArchKnight AQ / OOC / L&L


 The rustling of wings filled the air. He walked forward with the scythe on his back. The air was filled with whispers as he climbed up the stage in the shape of a hexagon. The rock was carved with a master's precision and inlaid with the finest gold, making a strange yet powerful impression, as if it glowed with a magic that was invisible to the naked eye. As he started to speak, all grew silent. They had heard the rumors of the weapon he carried and with it he carried power and respect, as did his deeds who were not unknown to them.

"My brethren, I stand before thee in joy and in grieve. Our greatest enemies lie dead, may their bones turn to dust and their spirits to void. Yet another now threatens what we sought to achieve, as he threatened it before."

"We must not forget his crimes against us, nor should we underestimate his prowess in battle. Only a fool would not see the threat he poses, should we not act while we still can. Have we not seen what his foul touch can work? Have we not felt what it did?"
He spoke as he turned to view all of his audience.

"I ask you this, I URGE you this. We must see to it that he will not succeed, lest we will fall like the rest of Lore. We must not forget the sacrifices that were made for us a long time ago. Today the time has come to either join their legacy or put it to shame. Who of you stands with me this day?" He said while unsheating his scythe, which gleamed as the light hit the blade.

A growling that started small, grew out to roaring that reflected and melded together as one against the walls to turn into a single deafening roar as the figure in the hexagon rose the scythe high above his head.

  San Robin
Modzerella


 Previously : Three brothers, two Enemies, one war
Prologue

This story is part of a bigger story about 3 Brothers.
Ichi Robin :A very powerfull mage who betrayed his brothers for the power he could get.
Ni Robin :Once a strong warrior but he decided to retire and become a pet trainer.
San Robin :The main character and allround good guy, he's a well trained rogue.
This story begins at a cold night in Falconreach when monsters suddenly are starting to attack...

The Bringers of Doom

"The Monsters are attackin!" "What?!? Get San Robin!" "Get San Robin!"
The guardians where running around like Zards with boxes on their heads.
"Does Anyone know where San Robin is?!?"
"Where is that guy when you need him?"
Meanwhile San Robin was in the inn eating his favorite dish "Cheesecake".
He was enjoying every bite of it, when suddenly a guardian came running in.
"San Robin There you are" He said, "Monsters are attacking, we need your help and quick!"
San Robin stood up and sighs "So far for the cheesecake"
"Where are the monsters?"
-At the gate this is a small group but I fear the worst!
"Okay lets do this!" San Robin says while running outside.
"San""Hey San!"
San Robin looks around to see his Brother Ni Robin running towards him, "I heard something about monsters attacking?" says Ni Robin,"Can I help"
San Robin Laughs "Sure you can bro, lets kick some monsters butt like the good o'll times"
The battle wouldn't last long the monsters where not strong enough for the combo of the 2 brothers.
"Thank you for your help San Robin , Ni Robin!"Said Bob the guardian "But we had a report from other towns, that also are being attacked!"
"Its like I suspected"Said San Robin "Friday the 13th will soon be here, and this is one we will never forget" San Robin walked towards the gate "Come with me brother, we have some planning to do!" and before anyone could ask where they where going, they dissapeared in the darkness of the night...




Another one bites the sponge (Another one bites the Dust - Queen, for the people who didnt notice)
Ooh, let`s go!
A Undead walking through the streets
with his brains half out of his head
Ain't no sounds but the sound of a war.
he is walking to his death

Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this
Are you going to the catapult seat
from the catapult the sponges fly
To the sound of the beat - yeah

Another one bites the sponge
Another one bites the sponge
And another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the sponge, eh
Hey, I`m gonna get you too
Another one bites the sponge

Undead falling they are piling up
They just dont stand a chance
Some Undead tried to flee for the sword
but where exploded by a sponge

Are you fighting? are you killing waves?
How long can you hold them back?
from the catapult the sponges fly
part their head from their neck

Another one bites the sponge
Another one bites the sponge
And another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the sponge, eh
Hey, I`m gonna get you too
Another one bites the sponge

Hey
Oh take it
Bites the sponge - bite the sponge hey
Hey
Another one bites the sponge
Another one bites the sponge, ow
Another one bites the sponge, hey hey
Another one bites the sponge, heeey
Ooh show down

There are plenty of ways that you can hurt undead
And beat them in the ground
You can stab him
You can slap him
You can cleanse his soul and shoot them with a sponge
yeah
But I`m ready, yes I`m ready for them
I`m standing on my own two feet
from the catapult the sponges fly
before you know it the undead are beat
Oh yeah

Another one bites the sponge
Another one bites the sponge
And another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the sponge, eh
Hey, I`m gonna get you too
Another one bites the sponge
Shoot out
Hey, alright



For all the people who live in the town,
All the heroes fighting in the name of the crown
Leaving no undead standing
Cooperate to ease the undead handling
Open your bags and let your pets attack
Now is the time to drive the enemy back
Rage on the killers of the helpless
Eradicate them! leave them headless!
A good strong assault
Could make it possible to put Sepulchure to a halt!
Heroes gather your strength and defend the Town!



The warmonger. (Billy joel - Piano man)

Its 12 AM here in Falconreach,
The undead waves are storming in.
Now is the time to stand up and fight!
Its time for warmongering.

We will fight the waves untill the we win this war
and hope is the thing we need most
without it we're doomed
and our town will be boomed
So we will drive them back to the cost!

la la la, di da da
La la, di di da da dum

Chorus:
Slay the undead we are warmongers
Slay the undead tonight
because we're all in the need for some warmongers
And I think that we'll do alright.

The enemy is a strong doomlord
he wants to beat us to dust
So you should get up and fight with all of your might!
Because winning this war is a must!

I say, “Unite everyone it's time to fight!”
We will show them what we are made of!
I am sure if we fight together as one!
We can give them death from above!

Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Now Sepulchure is Akriloth's master
He wants to use him for bad things
And he's talking with his sword,
I think he is bored.
He doesnt now the joy love brings!

And Drakath still stays a eternal noob
In this dimension he'll always be!
Yes They're sharing a master who no one knows.
With that master they'll never be free

Chorus:
Slay the undead we are warmongers
Slay the undead tonight
because we're all in the need for some warmongers
And I think that we'll do alright

Its a pretty though war but we can do this
We will just have to fight for a while
So dont give you up hope, wash their mouth with soap
So we can start a new morning with a smile.

And my guest dragon, he roars like a carnivore
While the enemies flee for their lives
But the catapults swings, And that will clip their wings
And that is when their own doom arives!

Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Chorus:
Slay the undead we are warmongers
Slay the undead tonight
because we're all in the need for some warmongers
And I think that we'll do alright

The hopeless future.
Note: the next story has nothing to do with the previous one I wrote, only the main character is the same

1. The future
*somewhere on the battlefield *
San Robin: Ok people dont give up hope! Its the thing we need most now!
San Robin: CHAAAAAAARGE * charges at a group of enemies *
Group of people: YEAH!
*Ash comes walking in *
Ash: San Robin I want to help too!
San Robin: Sure Ash! Do you have a good weapon?
Ash: *looks at his default sword * not really no...
San Robin: Just take one from my bag I have enough of them! *throws bag towards Ash *
Ash: Thanks San Robin I'll help myself to o- OOOOOH whats this?!? *holds up Chronomancer armor *
San Robin: What's what? *looks at Ash * NO ASH DONT TOUCH THAT ONLY TRAINED PEOPLE CAN HANDLE THA-
*The chronomancer armor begins to glow *
San Robin: No its too late! *the glow of the chronomancer armor is starting to spread until every thing is whited out *
Random person: What happened? The one second they stood there and now there's only a crater left!
Random person2: I wonder where they are now...
*Meanwhile where Ash and San Robin are *
*in a Dark place where the sky is red *
Ash: What happened? Where are we?
San Robin: We traveled in time, we should be in the falconreach of the past or future...
Ash: *Looks around * There's nothing here!
San Robin: Lets hope we are in the past then!
San Robin: Let me see the Chronomancer armor please.... *looks at the Chronomancer armor * Oh no!
Ash: What's the matter?
San Robin: We are in the future... which means that -
Ash: -Falconreach doesnt exist anymore!
San Robin: Lets look around for clues!
Ash: Where to?
San Robin: To Warlics tent!

2. Warlics zone
*The 2 companions traveled toward the tent, but what they saw there wasnt nice... *
San Robin: The forest! Its all dead!
Ash: Looks like the Volcano errupted!
San Robin: There's a sign there! I wonder what it says... *Reads Sign *” Xanvill, home of the overactive volcano”... this is not good!
*A chained sneevil with thorn clothes walks by *
San Robin: Hey you sneevil! What happened here?
Sneevil: There was Big war and heroes lost! King gone! Now Sepulchure *spit on the ground * rules all of Lore, or “Sepultopia” as we have to call it now!
San Robin: How long ago was this war?
Sneevil: War was 30 springs ago! How come you dont know this? You stoopid or something
Ash: Its “Stupid”
Sneevil: *kicks Ash* Nobody asked you something! You look like noob!
San Robin: What happened to everyone fighting against Sepulchure?
Sneevil: They where killed, imprissoned but me heard some warriors got away and still fight his tyranny!
San Robin: Do you know who? And where to find them?
Sneevil: Me know only few of their names... The one named Artix is their leader, a powerfull wizard who lived here is said to be in their group also a once famous warrior named Eric Greydawn and his wife are part of it
San Robin: Artix, Warlic, Eric and Lady are still free? Then there is hope!
Sneevil: What is hope?
San Robin: you dont know about it?
Sneevil: Is it eatable?
San Robin: No! Its something you need to fight Sepulchure! Without it you will never win!
Sneevil: *shrugs* if we dont know what Hope is then how are we ever gonna win?
San Robin: Well.... you... I mean... I
Sneevil: Like me thought.... * walks away* You also not fit to fight Sepulchure...
Ash: San Robin... I dont like this future.... people dont even know what Hope is!
San Robin: We have to get back to the past to straighten this up!
San Robin: *puts on Chronomancer armor* Lets go! *Chronomancer armor shakes a little *
San Robin: *scrapes throat * LETS GO!
Ash: Why are we still here?
San Robin: I'm afraid I'm out of mana...
Ash: /facepalm
San Robin: And I dont have a mana potion with me!
Ash: Me neither!
???: I do know where to find one!

3. The oppostition
*A dark figure with a axe appears *
San Robin: Artix!
Artix: I overheard your conversation earlier... You know of the word “hope” its a long time ago I heard that!
San Robin: Of course I know of the word! I'm from the past and- Dont you recognize me? Its me San Robin!
Artix: San Robin? I thought you where dead after you dissappeared 30 years ago!
San Robin: Nope Ash accidentally activated my Chronomancer armor armor and we traveled to here!
Ash: Hi Artix!
Artix: Hi Ash, follow me guys! Its now save to be here!
*together they travel to a secret place *
San Robin: Artix I've been wondering! How comes you didnt age a day since the last time we met?
Artix: The Avatar of light granted me eternal youth to help me on my quest to defeat sepulchure!
San Robin: The avatar of light? Wheren't the avatars neutral?
Artix: They where... untill Sepulchure overthrew them!
San Robin: He must be insanely strong to do that!
Artix: unfortunatly he is...
Artix: So thats why I want you to go back to your own time to spread the word of hope before its too late!
San Robin: But I'm fresh out of mana!
Artix: Alina can help you with that *smiles *
San Robin: Alina? Thank zeuster she's still alive! But I heard Warlic and the Greydawns would be here too! Where are they?
Artix: They and some more members are on a top secret quest I cant talk about it too much! Let me bring you too Alina now
*Artix opens a door *
Artix: Alina? Can we come in?
Alina: Sure come in!
San Robin: Where is she?
Artix: *points towards a mirror* Right there
San Robin: Alina! How come you are trapped inside there?
Alina: After Seppulchure won the war he trapped me inside this mirror
San Robin: Why would he do that?
Alina: Its forbidden to use mana since seppulchure won the war.
San Robin: But you know how to make a mana potion?
Alina: Ofcourse but the ingredients to make one are ver rare now and you will have to travel a lot to get them!
San Robin: I will do anything to stop this horrible future!
Alina: *smiles* Okay this is what you have to do...

4. Oaklore
*A few hours later *
San Robin: Lets see first thing on the list is “A leaf from Oaklore”
Ash: That's not so hard!
San Robin: It seems we are in luck today!
*But when they arrived there... *
Ash: uhm.... Shouldnt Oaklore forest be around here?
San Robin: Yes but there is no forest!
Ash: How are we going to find a leaf now?
San Robin: It looks like people still live here! Maybe they know something.
*The 2 companions walk to the nearest house *
San Robin: Pardon me Old lady, but do you know where I can find a leaf of Oaklore forest?
Old Lady: San Robin? Is that you?
San Robin: Yes... do I know you?
Old Lady: Its me Robina! *Poofs to her normal but a little older form *
San Robin: Robina! I'm so glad that you're still alive! How did you survive?
Robina: I know Lore a lot better then old Seppy does! So I hid!
Robina: But how come you didn't age a bit? I thought you where dead!
San Robin: Ash and me traveled in time by accident and now we are stuck in here!
Robina: So that explains that issue, but what about the Leaf of Oaklore you asked about?
San Robin: We need it to make a Mana potion to get back and stop this horrible future!
Robina: In that case... There are rumors about a single sappling deep in the ruins of oaklore keep.
San Robin: Thank Robina we owe you one!
Robina: No we owe you one, get that leaf and stop this future from happening!
San Robin: We wont dissapoint you!
*San Robin and Ash leave the house and walk towards the ruins of the once so great Oaklore keep *
Ash: Now where can we find a single sappling in all this rubble?
San Robin: There is one place I'm curious to see first... A place that was always locked for some vague reason...
Ash: The storage closet?
San Robin: Exactly!
Ash: Lets check it out!
San Robin: Hmmm it went open without a problem...*turns around and sees a glowing tree* what is that?!?
Ash: Its beautifull
San Robin: Its exactly what we need! Can you feel the mana glowing of it?
Ash: Yes its very warm but cool at the same time!
San Robin: *takes one of the leafs* now this is done, lets search for the other ingredient!

5.The Sandsea
*Ash and San Robin are walking through a scorching desert *
Ash: Are we there yet?
San Robin: No.
Ash: Are we there yet?
San Robin: No!
Ash: Are we there yet?
San Robin: NO!
Ash: Are we there yet?
San Robin: * Deathglares Ash* I can just leave you here you know...
Ash: No you cant I will follow you
San Robin: You see that big rock over there?
Ash: Yes...Why?
San Robin: I have a nice big rope in my bag... I can tie you to the rock if I want...
Ash: I'll be quiet...
San Robin: Good!
Ash: So....
Ash: Are we there yet?
San Robin: *facepalms * If we are there you will be the first I tell!
Ash: What where we looking for again?
San Robin: A piece of Sek-Duat's tomb.
Ash: You mean robbing a grave?
San Robin: Well it isnt really a grave since Sek-Duat isnt really buried there.
Ash: Not?
San Robin: Nope, He crumbled to dust when I beat him.
Ash: You beat him?
San Robin: Dont ask... long story...
Ash: But-
San Robin: I SAID DONT ASK!
Ash: Ok... *looks up * Hey what is that thing? *points *
San Robin: Sek-Duats pyramid!
Ash: You told me you would tell me if we arrived!
San Robin: Ash...
Ash: Yes?
San Robin: We arrived.
Ash: Derp...
San Robin: Shut up lets go inside!
*Ash and San Robin enter the pyramid *
Ash: Its dark in here!
San Robin: Well it is a pyramid after all..
San Robin: Hold my hand so you dont get lost.
Ash: I'm already holding you hand!
San Robin: No you're not...
Ash: Then whose-
???: ROAR!
Ash: San Robin please tell me that was you...
San Robin: Nope wasnt me...
Ash: *Gulps * W-Who is there?
???: GEEEEEET OUUUUUUT!
Ash: Ok, BYE! *tries to run *
San Robin: Wait a second... I know that voice!
San Robin: Zhoom? Is that you?!?
Zhoom: Yes and who might you be?
San Robin: It's me San Robin!
Zhoom: San Robin? But you died 30 years ago! Right before we gave up hope and lost the war!
Zhoom: How...
San Robin: Long story, It all come down to the fact that Ash is a noob.
Ash: Hey!
San Robin: Shush you!
San Robin: But Zhoom what are you doing here?
Zhoom: After Sepulchure won the war, he started using this pyramid as a storage and he hired me to guard his stuff...
San Robin: Storage? What's in here?
Zhoom: You know... stuff... old baby clothes, King Alteons crown, Weapons and Brains in jars-
San Robin: What did you say there?
Zhoom: Brains in jars... Why are you interrested?
San Robin: Not that! The weapons!
Zhoom: Oh those! Yeah there are enough weapons in here for a huge army, but he doesnt need them anymore since nobody dares to oppose him...
San Robin: But the opposition could use them against him..
Zhoom: There is a opposition?!?
San Robin: Yes, care to join them?
Zhoom: I'd love to! I've had enough of Sepulchure!
San Robin: Then I will send someone here to get the weapons, but for now I need to find Sek-Duats gravechamber!
Zhoom: Sek-Duats gravechamber? I use that as a bedroom!
San Robin: Gross!
Zhoom: You know just as well as me there never was a dead person in that room!
San Robin: Good point... Can you take me there?
Zhoom: Sure! Follow me!
*A short walk and a few hidden doorways later *
Zhoom: We're here.
Ash: Whoa look at that tomb glow!
Zhoom: Yes I use it as a light to read and when i want to sleep I just cover it!
San Robin: The glow must be because of the mana that resides within it!
Zhoom: Correct the people from the Sandsea infused the tombs with mana to protect the body from decaying.
San Robin: Why? Is it bad if it decayes or something?
Zhoom: We- They believed that the soul lives on after dead and needs a place to reside in.
San Robin: So is it okay if we chip of a bit of the tomb?
Zhoom: Ofcourse go ahead!I wont ask why...
San Robin: Thank you Zhoom! You're the best!
Zhoom: No thank you hero for bringing hope back into my live!
Ash: Anyhow San Robin, its time to find the next ingredient!
San Robin: Lets do this!

6. The locker
Ash: Are we the-
San Robin: Ash we already had this joke!
Ash: Oh... right!
San Robin: Anyway we're where we have to be!

Ash: Who?
*A shadow comes up from the water *
Ash: What is that?
San Robin: Its not a what its a Who.
San Robin: Hey Johnny! Man you've grown!
Johnny: Blub?
San Robin: Say can you bring me to the locker?

Ash: I'm not going in there!
San Robin: Sure you are! *pushes Ash into the mouth *
Ash: Waaaaah!

San Robin: Dont be such a sissy, Thank you Johnny! *waves at Johnny *
Ash: I will smell like fish for months now! And- *looks around * woa!
San Robin: I'm glad this place didnt change!
Ash: What are we looking for here?
San Robin: Captain Davey's locker.
Ash: How can a locker help us to get mana?!?
San Robin: The water orb was in there and appearantly some of the magic leaked into the locker.
Ash: So..... where can we find it?
San Robin: That, I dont know...
Ash: So....where shall we start looking?
San Robin: The place where I battled kathool...
Ash: You battled Kathool? THE Kathool?
San Robin: Yep and I won too! follow me!
*after a short walk Ash and San Robin arrive *
San Robin: Here we are!
Ash: Does it have some kind of blueish glow?
San Robin: Yes.
Ash: And was it the property of some skelleton guy?
San Robin: Yes indeed, but how do you know that?
Ash: They're both here! *points *
*Captain Davey stands there horribly deformed *
San Robin: *looks* Davy!
Captain Davey: Yar that's right landlubber!
San Robin: I thought I slayed you!
Captain Davey: Oh you did!
San Robin: So... how?
Captain Davey: Lord Sepulchure revived me!
San Robin: Why?!?
Captain Davey: He noticed you snooping around your old alied towns.
San Robin: He knows I'm here?
Captain Davey: Oh yes! And you do have something he needs!
San Robin: I do? What do I have?!?
Captain Davey: You'll never know!
Ash: San Robin watch out!
San Robin: Dont worry about me! Hide!
*An Epic battle between San Robin and Captain Davey happens, but in the end San Robin is the victor *
San Robin: Now tell me! What do I have that Sepulchure seeks?
Captain Davey: You fool! You dont even know?!?
San Robin: Not yet, tell me and I'll spare your life!
Captain Davey: *Laughs* You think I can be rescued?!
San Robin: Well...
Captain Davey: Lord Sepulchure sees all and knows all! AAAARGH!
San Robin: But- hey dont you die on me!
*But Davy will never speak again...
San Robin: Darnit!
Ash: Do you have any idea what Sepulchure is looking for?
San Robin: Not really... All I have is my bag and..
San Robin: My bag! Ofcourse!
Ash: What?
San Robin: I still have the darkness orb in my bag! Sepulchure was seeking the orbs!
Ash: You mean he could be even stronger?!?
San Robin: I'm afraid so Ash... We have to be more carefull from now on.
Ash: Its a good thing we only need one more ingredient!
San Robin: Yes but the last one will be the most difficult...
Ash: What is the last ingredient then?
San Robin: ... A chip of Sepulchure's flying castle...
To be continued....

Shadow Ravena
Paladin of Shadows


 As I sit enchanting my staff, a mage walks up to me. I glance up, smile, and say, "Raven! I was hoping you would make it. Get away okay?"
"Yes, we had the day off today, and the guards have made their rounds. So, what are you doing?"
"Enchanting my staff. With the invasion in a few hours, I need it as strong as I can get."
"And I need a new staff. Can't use a doom weapon against undead!"
"Why don't you purify it for a destiny weapon?"
No way, this took me too long to get. Could I borrow your aurora key though?"
"Sure!" *hands Raven the key* "Now, I'm about done here. Why don't we see how everyone else is doing?"
"Sounds fine to me."

We walk around the newly detailed falconreach, and see some of the other hero's along the way. I spotted several doomknights, KAA, techromancers, SW, etc. I recognized the fishmonger, black dragonlord, the two bomb specialists among others. I waved top them as I passed. A few were too busy to see me, but the others waved back.

"Its so beautiful today. Its hard to believe that in a few short hours this place will be covered with blood and bones."
"Its always nice on battle days. Doesn't change whats about to happen."
I sighed. Raven was right, again. "Well, the harder we fight the quicker the war will end, right sis?"
Raven grinned. She wasn't my real sister, but we were as close as any related by blood, maybe closer. "Right. But we must make sure no one gets hurt."
I knew what she meant. She was saying to not go overboard, to make sure I didn't berserk again. The last time that happened... my only other friend died. I needed to respect my limits this time 'round. "I'll be careful," I promised. "We must also watch and see if anyone needs help or healing."
"Agreed. And help of the mental kind too."
I nodded. "Yes, for the battle of the mind is much more deadly than the battle of arms. We must not let others loose hope."

Just then, a little girl walked up to us, a doll clutched tightly in her arms. Her eyes were big and scared, and her actions showed great fear.
"Hello there little one. What are you doing wandering around the war camp?" I asked, for we were in the area set off for the war effort. Civilians weren't suppose to be around here, it could be dangerous.
"I was looking for my mommy and got lost. Everyone here is so scary, and I can't find my way out!"
The tents did make it a little confusing, and all the different could be very frightening to little ones. I looked at Raven and jerked my head towards the girl; she would have a better time than me at comforting her. Raven did so, and then we walked the girl back to her home near the guardian tower. When we reached there, she turned to thank me.
"It nothing." I said.
The girl looked like she was about to say something, and after I gave her an encouraging nod she said, "You guys will defeat the bad man right?"
Personally, I had a few doubts, but I had to hide them. I smiled faintly and said, "Yes we will, I promise."
This seemed to cheer her, and she smiled before skipping back into her house.
Raven turned to me and said, "You may not be able to keep that promise."
"I know that. But I will fight to my dying breath to keep it."
Raven simply shook her head, she knew how I worked.
"Well, I'll be at your side helping you. For...
We both grasped my weapon before saying together, "I fight for truth, light, justice and honor. May this vow never be broken, may this heart never fail." This was our tradition before a war started, to remember our vow, that was also engraved on my staff, at least the first part. With fresh determination, we squared our shoulders and walked back to camp.

*Morning that the day the Guardian Tower is destroyed. Don't read on if haven't watched that cutscene.*

I looked around, trying to see how everyone was fairing so far. It was dawn, and the sun had just risen, but as the fighting went through the night many people were in need of sleep. Some Guardians were heading of to their tower for a well-needed and well-earned rest, with fresh troops coming in to relieve them. Hero's were going in and out of the inn, the nighttime warriors nearly all off the field, with the morning ones coming on. Being a night warrior myself, I was ready to leave and get some sleep. But first, I needed to see where Raven was.

I spotted her on the other side of town, and flew over there, killing undead as I went, and trying to dodge the flying sponges. "They really need to work on those things aim," I though. I went up to Raven, who was just finishing off an undead guardian. Those were the worst; I hated killing fallen comrades, but knew the would rest in peace once re-dead.
"Hey Raven, how's the battle been going?"
Could be better. Thanks for the stave by the way."
Hey, you needed it more than I did. Ready to turn in for a few hours?"
"Yep. Lets go."
As we walked back to the inn, picking of any undead in our way, we talked a little about what had happened that night.
"In between crazy warriors who don't know when to heal, crazy dragonlords who keep on doing leap attacks, and crazy everyone else, we sure have had our hands full keeping them alive."
You see, Raven and me decided to heal anyone we saw hurt. It was mildly successful, burt I wished I could do more. It pained me to see anyone die.

"We can not save everyone Shadow. You need to face reality."
"Who says? If not, I can die trying."
"Thats what I'm afraid of."
By now we had reached the inn. I greeted the heroes leaving, and wished them luck, filling them in on anything important. I went to my room in the inn, and crashed on the bed in deep sleep.

At noon, I was shaken awake by a Guardian. He motioned me to follow, and we ran to the Guardian tower. In the distance, I saw seppy's fortress come nearer. Then, it jerked oddly, and I realized the giant castle was going to crash! It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out where. Knowing I had only a minute, I teleported myself inside the tower.

The guardians were frozen in horror. I ordered them to head for the basement, there they might survive if lucky, and then teleported as many as possible outside in the few remaining seconds. I knew my efforts were futile, but maybe a few lives would be saved. When I had just shut the door to the basement behind the few guardians, the fortress hit. The walls caving in around me knocked me over, but a hasty shield spell gave me the time to teleport outside. There, I watched the castle finish destroying the tower, and a involuntary no escaped from me. I couldn't wrap my mind around it, all those people, dead, in just a few seconds. I screamed in futile rage, if only I had been faster, been stronger, this wouldn't have happened. I was about to go charge out to the remains of the fortress, to find and finish seppy off, when a restrained hand grabbed my arm.

"Shadow, no. Your help is needed here at the moment. Wait, you get your battle with Him later."
I knew she was right, but I hated it. After a quick meeting with the remaining guardians, I went to the remains of the tower. The guardians that made it to the basement were still alive, but many, many were dead. I assisted the remaining guardians to find and bury the dead. I would have healed those wounded, but in my state of mind that was not a safe idea. This accomplished, I stood on the edge of the bluff the tower used to stand on, surveying the land below. A fire burned in my heart, a vengeance I could not control. With a roar, I ran into the waves below, not knowing who in hit and not caring, my rage blinding my thinking. Everybody tried to get out of my way, and all the hero's succeed, helped by raven, who had heard my scream and knew what it meant. The undead were too slow, and fell like butter under my spells. I knew I was losing mana fast, and needed to stop for a minute and drink a potion, but common sense had deserted me. I also felt my dark power grow within me, and I fed it. I relished the thought of the destruction it would cause, the undead that would be felled by a shock wave bigger than any puny sponge or bomb could cause. I was surround by undead on all sides, and I let them swarm me, so that more would be killed when the time came.

I almost saw it too late. After hearing Shadows scream, i knew any brain she had left would be gone with sorrow and rage, and she would have little to no sense of personal danger or danger to others. I was able to get anyone near her to safety before they were mowed down, and also attempted to keep my eye on her should she try anything stupid. I had lost sight of her for a few minutes, being absorbed in slaying undead. In doing this I had leaped on top of a house so I took the time to look around. So far so good, The undead kept coming but were swiftly being knocked down. Then, glancing at the edge of the battlefield, I saw Shadow. My blood ran cold, for the dark aura around her meant one thing: she was planning an energy attack that would kill anything alive or undead within a hundred feet. I cursed her stupidity, the hero's fighting in the vicinity would never survive, or anything else. Fortunately, the wall was strong their, and might just hold up to the blast. If not, we could always repair it with magic.

I went to every hero within radius and quickly told them what was happening, only replaced energy with magic, for few beside me knew Shadow as shadow, but rather as Tigerlady, and I didn't want to blow her cover; she was hated enough as is. I then quickly went to tell the leader of the guardians to keep everyone away from that part of the battlefield, and flew over to Shadow to try and talk some sense into her.

"Shadow! What happened to your promise that you wouldn't do this?"
"I could care less about any promises. I will destroy these undead until my dying breath."
"It will be your dying breath if you don't tone down the power level. We don't need you dead too!"
"What do you take me for, a idiot? I have this under control. Now get away from here or you will be killed as well."
I sighed. There was NO reasoning with her in this mood. I flew to the very edge of the blast zone, ready to help her as soon as she collapsed, which would be seconds after the blast. Then, I thought I saw something... alive... moving around the field. I zeroed in on the moving object, and realized it was the girl from a few days ago! It seemed she wanted to talk to Shadow, but with Shadow in her state of mind... forget the fact that she couldn't see the girl at all where she stood... I knew I needed to get to her FAST.

There was no way Shadow would stop the blast, I wasn't even sure if she could. So instead, I ran to the girl.

"What are you doing here?!" I shouted as I neared her.
"I was scared by all the undead, and one frightened me so I ran and ran and then saw tigerlady and decided to see if she could lead me home again."
Little kids, they have NO sense. "Tigerlady is preoccupied, so I will take you home. But we have to hurry, its not safe here in the open."
I stared to jog, the little girl running. She was panting, but we needed to move fast. Halfway to the safety point, I looked back at Shadow. The aura was very easy to see now, and only a minute or two remained before she unleashed her attack. I swung the girl up on my back, and ran as fast as I could towards safety. But, I wasn't fast enough. I could sense the energy wave growing slowly behind me, mere seconds before it would incinerate everything. I grabbed the girl and threw her as hard as I could to TRY and get her within a safe distance; a few broken bones were easier to treat than being turned to goo. I quickly formed a shield around myself, and a nanosecond later the wave hit me, blackening my vision.

I looked around at the at the destruction the energy wave caused, and was greeted by the sight of undead soldiers crumbled into dust and bone fragments. I was weak, but it was worth it. As I stared to move back towards the inn to rest, I saw the little girl Raven comforted from yesterday lying on the ground. I flew over to her, and seeing her hurt, drank a mana potion and used a healing spell on her that revived her.

"What happened?" I asked. She briefly explained how she got lost, saw me in the crowd and ran towards me. At first I assumed she got hit with the very edge of the blast, until she said:
"I saw you in the middle of all the undead and started towards you, but Raven stopped me and we ran back. After awhile I went piggyback on her, I suppose because I was too slow, but then she tossed me over here a second before the weird light hit everything."
My blood ran cold, my heart nearly stopped. Raven must have been hit by the attack as well! I had never known anyone to survive a blast like that, and if she died...
I teleported the girl to the inn, someone there would deal with her, and ran towards where the girl was looking, desperately looking for Raven. After a few minutes, I saw her, in the only area where some grass remained. I could feel the faint remnants of a shield spell, and prayed that the spell had protected her enough to be healed. As I looked at Raven, sorrow and remorse coursed through me. I should have listened to her. I bend over her to try and hear if she was still breathing, and to my astonishment she was! Very, very faintly, but still breathing. Using the last of my mana, I put a healing spell on her, which allowed her to be moved safely. I picked her up, and ran back to the inn.

Once there, Serenity put her in the hospital section, and after drinking a few potions, I set about to heal her. I insisted on doing it, partially because it was my fault she was hurt, and partially because I knew her better and could tell what was needed to heal her.

I nursed Raven through the night, and at dawn, when I thought she would either have to revive or never would, she opened her eyes.

"Raven! Oh, thank the gods your still alive!"
"Ya, no thanks to you. When will you learn good sense?"
I flinched, even though I deserved it. "I'm so, so sorry Raven. Your right, I should have listened to you, but my rage blinded me."
"Thats no excuse."
"I know. Could you ever forgive me?"
"Yes, but please Shadow, don't do anything like that ever again. Promise?"
"I promise. Now, how are you feeling?"
"If this is your roundabout way of getting me to drink more of those awful potions, forget it. I just need to sleep, i'll be fine."
"You always were stubborn. Okay the, get some rest. I'll make sure nothing happens to you meanwhile."

I stayed and watched over her for the next few hours, only getting sleep myself when Serenity promised to wake me if Raven needed anything. I collapsed on my bed in peaceful oblivion.
The next day, I was woken by someone poking me with a the end of a staff. I opened my eyes and saw Raven standing their, smiling at me.
"Raven! What are you doing out of bed?"
I'm all better now. Your world's magic is very effective at healing. That, and the fact I've probably have had ten potions in the last day," she said while pulling a face that said she did NOT like being forced to drink potions.
"Sorry! But you were really injured, and I was just trying to heal you." I then sobered down and said, "Raven, i really am sorry, I-"
"Your were an idiot who took the deaths of the guardians badly and let your anger get the better of you. I know that. It just another thing to learn from, and something you'll never do again, right?"
"I can't promise I won't let my anger get the better of me. But I do promise to keep a better lid on it and my power next time."
"Good. Now, we have a war to win, " she said, and we both smiled and grabbed our respective weapons and headed out of the inn.
Outside, I as usual glanced at the Guardian tower, my breath sucked from me at the sight of the ruins. I then glanced over the battlefield, and with a resolve to avenge the guardians death, started out. Raven grabbed me before I got far, and looking at her I read the warning in her glance. I nodded, and then we side by side ran out to the battlefield, to win the war and defeat sepulcher once and for all.

 Steps on stage equipped with the staff known as amterasu. What isn't known is that he uses this staff as a guitar.

"Ahem. This is your dedicated battle song for the coming friday 13th war."

*strums the amterasu as it changes between light and fire ominously*

"Prepare for battle this very day, Sepulchure's castle is on it's way, Grab your weapons and equip your gear, feed your pets, the end is near."

"He will go down in history, we will battle him it's destiny, we will take him down I guarantee, We can do it yeah."

"Warriors grab your blades of aww, Rogues go forth the distance is far, Mages prepare your energy spells, We'll beat him yet no matter how many he kills."

"We can beat him, yes siree, we can defeat him, I know we can, we will defeat this evil man, We must or falconreach is doomed!"

"Friday the 13th is here at last, Prepare for the end, Doom weapons a must, Shine your light so very high, Dragons fly forth from the sky."

"He will go down in history, this is the best battle I've ever seen, we must defeat Sepulchures forces at work, or we lose all this neat art work!"

"Yeah."

"If you recognize this theme, it's because it's battle sequency, Though there may be a True mortal plushie attacking, There's no guarantee it can stop what Seppy brings."

"We must defeat this evil at last, here it comes oh my god, we must defeat the darkness and show that we hero's can beat the odds."

"Now the battle of our lives, to battle on until we die, Heros, guardians, dragonlords, Soulweavers and Doom knights, Prepare for the fight of your lives. Kathool adepts yes indeed, we will need your assistance, push the forces back indeed, we must use the blades of destiny."

"Now this song is ending at last, So battle on and have a blast. Nitrosponge will fire at will, the undead forces surely we can kill."

"We must be vigilantes, and strike the enemy at the knees, we must reach forth our destines, and cast our spells and swords into the war, war war, war, war!"

*End*

Thank you. And good luck to us all :D

Story: The war of the 13th, The Final Friday?

Michael the mage dressed in his gray/white robes with the dreaded wings, Amterasu Staff and Tomix's hair is talking to Twilly.

"So anyway, I knocked them clear across the fields with my wind spell and-" Michael is abruptly cut off by a running farmer.

"Michael, it's, Coming, Sepulchure is coming." Michael looks at the Farmer. "Well if it's a war Sepulchure wants, it's a war he'll get."

"Ash, Go get the guardians." Later Michael is informed about the status but his concern lays in the coming skeletal forces.

"Here they come." Michael says. "Archers, fire!" the captain of the guardian forces shouts.

Michael meanwhile steps straight into the front lines and prepares once again to defend his home.

The fortress flying above is not his focus. For Michael casts spell after spell upon the waves of enemies, skeletons dropping one by one.
A fireball attack hits Michael square in the chest causing him to grunt and grab at his chest. His sleeve is on fire.
Batting the flames out Michael sends a mighty water blast at the fire-skeleton dousing out it's flame and it's existence.

Michael gazes at the impending forces.
"There must. Be a way."
"i won't let my home burn!" Michael continues to send spells off long into the dark.

(To be continued)

Continuation.

Michael spun spell and staff throwing back another wave of undead.

Meanwhile above something odd was happening. Ash stared up at the fortress. "What in the-"

There were spiders crawling all over it and the dragon was losing altitude.

"That wrinkled old woman. I'll handle this personally." Sepulchure said rising to his feet.

Just as the bee's came to transport the little girl and Grams, Sepulchure spoke. "Leaving so soon?" A blast shot out taking grams with it but leaving baby Gravelyn alone.

Michael stared up at it with Kain. "The Tower!" Michael said. "Get those people out of there!" Kain shook his head. "No time!"

The three watched in horror as the fortress took the mighty guardians tower to the sea with it. Cries of horror and screams and yells filled their ears as it plummeted into the ocean. Guardians at the base of the tower burst out for a few minutes coughing, gagging and shouting orders.

"NOOOOOOO!" Michael screamed out.

Sepulchure had wounded the heroic mage. "Sepulchure you will pay for this. I promise you that."

With renewed energy and some anger Michael and several remaining guardians and Ash, fought against the undead.
The winds whipped freely, and in the sky Sepulchure rode on fluffy. The former dragon of destiny.

as the next day of battles continued, something huge emerged out of the waters. A massive gigantic Dragon. Ash ran up to stare at it and said "OMG!"

His eyes went wide in shock.
One of the guardians staring at it looked out at it and spoke. "It's an abomination. It will tear down the wall."

Michael closed a fist. "Not on my watch."

"Lazarus. To me!" Michael held up his dragon amulet which shone like the sun. The roar of a black-winged spike covered, 2 horned dragon came from somewhere to the South. In no time, Lazarus had taken to the air and landed on a pillar of Earthern ground staring at the monstrous creature.
A deep dark battle ensued but Michael and Lazarus were victorious in the end, but the cost of victory was high.

To be continued.

continuation 3. "Sepulchure! let's end this!" Michael yelled staring up at the fortress.

When Sepulchure finally arrived it was with a feeling of doom. With that much power, Michael was no match for the power of this evil man and he fell to his knees coughing.

A second baby dragon flew by and landed.

"Another dragon?" The mage stared with surprise.
"Recently hatched." Sepulchure replied.

"Akriloth." Michael stared at the sight before him.

"Your list of allies is declining, mage. Soon you will be the last to fall." Sepulchure laughed cruelly.

A haunting image of Lady Celestia's broken teacup and her moveless hand sprang to Michael's mind.
"Celestia."

"Somehow, someway, Sepulchure, You'll pay."

Mritha
Legendary AdventureGuide!


 All around Falconreach the sounds of battle could be heard as valiant heroes from all over Lore fought with their all in an effort to push back Sepulchure’s forces. Steel clashed against steel and bone while explosions echoed around the battlefield. The sky was stained green from the nitroglycerin sponges fired from the catapults upon the waves of entropic minions and soldiers while Sepulchure’s flying castle hovered overhead, dropping bombs of it’s own onto the heads of the heroes. They had all been summoned here to defend the town and the Darkness Orb, and all were out on the battlefield.

All but one.

Inside Lim’s shop banging and mild swearing could be heard as the Black Dragonlord struggled to fix her M12 FAV, more commonly known as her Warthog. Two wars past while searching for rainbow shards, Mritha had a sudden desire to fire the mounted M41 chain gun located in the rear of her hog rather than drive it as she normally does. Perhaps it was the bloodthirsty satisfaction of seeing her foes cut down by 12.7X99mm armor-piercing rounds capable of shredding the armor of a Ghost back on Halo. Here in Lore, the armor was much thinner and seeing her foes reduced into a bloody spray caused her to ignore reason and give the wheel to her dragon, Odgne.

Excited at finally having a chance to drive, the night dragon settled behind the steering wheel and stretched her back claws down to the pedals. Her tail filled the passenger side and a wing stuck out the door but Mritha ignored the obvious signs of impending doom and told her dragon to “floor it”.

Laughing as her foes were cut down by rapid fire from the turret Mritha did not see a large rock in front of them, and Odgne, who could barely see over the dashboard, drove the hog into a crash course. Hitting a large bump in the road the warthog leaped into the air and came close to clearing the rock but the undertow was scraped with a teeth clenching screech and the axle bent almost beyond recognition as well as a shattered front window and a tire that had been torn clean off upon landing.

Though shaken, both Mritha and Odgne were unharmed in thanks to their thick armor and scales respectively. Swearing that she would never let her dragon drive again, Mritha was forced to abandon her beloved hog and continue fighting. After the war however, she managed to haul it inside Lim’s shop and had been trying to repair the damage ever since.

Knowing that every second spent trying to fix her warthog was taken away from time spent defending Falconreach; Mritha clenched her teeth and leaned hard on her wrench, struggling to bend the axle back in place. However the weakened metal was stubborn and rather than bend, it chose to break. Thrown forward by the sudden lack of resistance Mritha banged her head against the wrench and cried out in shock and pain. Wiggling out from under her hog Mritha stumbled to her feet, dazed by the blow to the head. She could smell the coppery scent of blood and touched her forehead. Looking at her hand covered in black armor she saw a wet shine and sighed. Grabbing a greasy rag she put pressure on her head to stop the bleeding.

The sounds of battle echoed in the small room as Mritha look at her warthog with sadness. This warthog had been with her since the beginning of Combat Evolved and had a special sentimental value to the Spartan turned Dragonlord. Setting the now bloody rag down she walked reverently to the hog and ran an armored finger along a deep scratch in the driver’s side of the door. Memories flooded her mind as she remembered how that scratch came to be. A Sangheili zealot wielding an energy sword attacked her while on the first Halo ring. Though his efforts were futile as a sharp turn of the wheel sent 3.25 tons of armored steel against him easily ending his life, his death was marked by slashing the door in his death throws in one final attempt on the life of the driver within.

Moving to the back Mritha looked at the turret and remembered that while searching for the Prophet of Regret on the second Halo ring, Private Chips Dubbo was killed by an overcharged plasma blast to the chest. Though long gone, the memories of his blood filled her mind and if asked, Mritha could tell you where each stain once laid.

The rear right tire was still missing a hub cap from where it was knocked off during the Zardbie War and lost before it could be repaired and returned to it’s rightful place. The passenger door was melted shut from where a near hit from a nitroglycerin sponge splattered against the door during the Ravenloss War. During that war the heroes were divided, some fighting Greed, some fighting the Chaosweavers, and still others fighting for the Chaosweavers, and against their war brethren.

The warthog was covered in dents and scraps and each one of them had a story to tell, with Mritha as their voice. She stood back and looked at her beloved hog with saddened eyes. In some places the army green paint was missing entirely. The warthog looked like a car destined for the scrap yard to most, and the other heroes would often tease her. Saying she should dump the waste of metal and trade it in for a GA-TL1 Longsword or AV-14 Hornet. But Mritha refused every time, too in love with the thing that had been with her for the destruction of the Halo rings.

But now it looked as if she would have to take their advice. The Black Dragonlord sighed sadly and fought back tears as she moved over to a metal table litter with tools, as well as her helm and gravity hammer. Her black wings, trimmed in purple, drooped to match her mood. She grabbed her hammer and reached back, placing it into the hook in the back of her armor, centered between her wings. She reached out for her black helm shaped like a dragon’s sinister grin and placed it over her pale face. Her violet eyes shone through as she looked at the Darkness Orb now uncovered. Fascinated by it’s purple glow, Mritha was the self proclaimed guardian of the Orb and had been hiding it under her helm while she worked.

She grabbed the Orb and turned to leave, but couldn’t help but look back at her warthog one final time. Despite her best efforts, it was broken beyond repair. Her sadness slowly melted into a fiery rage, angered at her loss. Though it was not sentient Mritha considered her hog a close friend. Part of her blamed her dragon for crashing the hog, part of her blamed herself for not paying closer attention, and part of her blamed the warthog itself for failing to clear the rock. Blinded by rage Mritha threw the orb at her warthog. As the black Orb left her armored fingertips Mritha’s rage turned to fear as she realized what she had done, but the forward momentum could not be stopped. It was too late.

Knowing this but not caring, Mritha raced forward in an effort to prevent the impact, knowing that if something happened to the Orb, Falconreach may fall. The Orb collided with the hood of her warthog and a loud explosion filled the room. Thrown back against the wall by the force of the blast Mritha struggled to her feet and ripped her gravity hammer from her back. It hissed and whined as she ignited it and the blue lights on the head of the hammer pulsed electric blue as she waited, expecting an attack.

A black fire raged around the remains of her warthog and the sound of screeching and scraping of metal grated against her ears. Mritha quickly glanced around for something to put it out. Before she could move however, the fire seemed to die on it’s own. Rolling away from the warthog, the Darkness Orb seemed to take the fire with it, leaving her hog alone. The fire swarmed around the Orb and quickly disappeared inside it. By the time the Orb rolled to a stop at her feet, it had returned to normal though Mritha was not looking at the Orb. She was staring open mouthed at her warthog.

The scratched and dented green paint was now a dull black with every dent and scratch missing. Mritha picked up the Orb and tucked it under her arm as she slowly approached her warthog. As she drew near, a strange purple glow radiated from the hog and grew brighter as she came closer. Hardly daring to breathe, the Dragonlord circled the vehicle, inspecting it with awestruck eyes. It had been fully restored, and now perfectly matched the colors of darkness. Mritha could find no fault in the warthog, in her eyes, it was now perfect. Completing her inspection Mritha stood in front of the hog and with a shaky hand, reached out and lightly brushed the thickly armored hood. 12.0 L liquid-cooled hydrogen-injected engines, capable of speeds over 75 miles per hour on a bumpy road came to life with a loud roar.

Mritha smiled. Not only had the Orb restored her beloved, but also gave it recognition. Whether or not the warthog was alive was still unknown, but it still responded to her touch. The doors to Lim’s shop flew open and a Doomknight and a Soulweaver entered the room.

“Will ya leave that scrap of metal and get out here!” The Doomknight shouted.

“It isn’t a scrap of metal anymore Silver Xoven.” The Soulweaver said as she stared at Mritha’s warthog and whistled in amazment.

“Your right Draketh.” Mritha said with a wide grin hidden behind her helm. “She is back and ready for WAAAAR!” Mritha shouted the last part, unable to contain her excitement. As she turned to address her two friends, her hand lifted from the hood and her warthog’s engine turned off and was silent. Both Silver Xoven and Draketh were fellow members of the Beacons of Hope clan, though they were not in Mritha’s pillar. Both were assigned to the pillar of Mastery while Mritha was in the pillar of Light. She had always found this humorous has her element had always been darkness, the opposite of light.

Silver Xoven grinned and said. “Well if yer ready, then lets RIDE!”

“Need a gunner?” Draketh winked.

Mritha laughed and jumped inside the drivers seat, her warthog roaring to life once more upon contact. “Hop in!” She shouted to her friends.

“I call side seat gunner!” Silver Xoven shouted as he pulled a model SRS99D-S2 Sniper Rifle off the wall and jumped in the seat next to Mritha.

“A sniper rifle?” Mritha questioned. “Don’t you think a battle rifle or an assault rifle would be better?”

“Nope!” Silver Xoven said with a crazy grin.

Mritha shook her head as Draketh shouted from the back. “Enough talk! Give me somethin to shoot at!”

Mritha ginned and slammed her foot on the gas pedal. “YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAW!!!!” She laughed as the warthog shot out from Lim’s shop and into the battle fray, leaving an odd black wake with a strange purple glow behind. “Come on guys..” She shouted to her passengers over the rapid sounds of bullet fire. “LETS GIVE EM HELL!”

Picture of the warthog



Several days had passed since Mritha’s beloved warthog made it’s grand return. Despite her love of beating enemy soldiers into the ground with her gravity hammer, Mritha had not left her warthog since it returned to the battlefield. She had missed it too much and was thoroughly enjoying driving it through her foes, crushing them beneath her tires and spitting chunks out the back.

Her two friends were not much different, Draketh stood behind the turret laughing like a mad man as hundreds of rounds shredded those who got in the way of his bullet spray. Silver Xoven had a sore trigger finger, but was having so much fun he ignored the pain and continued firing rounds from his sniper rifle. Mostly he aimed for the gargoyles, shooting them down before they reached Falconreach with their enemy reinforcements. “HEADSHOT!” he shouted as another one fell to his bullet.

Mritha spotted an undead gargoyle carrying a large wooden box full of reinforcements for Sepulchure’s vast army. “Hey Silver! There is another one right in front of us. Wanna try it?”

Silver Xoven grinned “Yes!”

“Ok guys, just like we planned!” The dragonlord shouted to her friends.

Silver Xoven laughed. “This is gonna be so cool!” he said as he made his way to the back of the warthog where Draketh was busy chewing out enemy soldiers with the turret.

“It will only be cool if you manage to hit the darn thing.” He teased.

“HA!” Silver Xoven shouted back. “Everyone knows I m Lore’s grea-” Whatever he was going to say was interrupted as a nitroglycerin sponge landed and exploded next to them, madly rocking the warthog. Mritha fought the steering wheel to keep her beloved vehicle right side up, though it was tilting to the left, the two right wheels spinning wildly in mid air. Silver Xoven flailed and almost fell out but Draketh grabbed his shirt with one hand and held on to the turret with his other.

“Lean to the right! Balance it out!” Mritha shouted.

Draketh jerked Silver oven back into the warthog, the latter flung his arms around his friend to steady himself. “What are you doing?!” Draketh shouted in surprise as the warthog righted.

“Trying to stay alive with this crazy woman driver, driving all crazy!”

“I heard that!” the dragonlord retorted. “Now stop hugging and get ready!”

“WE ARE NOT HUGGING!” they shouted in unison.

Draketh elbowed his friend in the ribs, who let go and rubbed his side. He scowled as Mritha leaned on this gas, encouraging more speed from her hog while Silver Xoven tightly gripped his sniper rifle with one hand, the turret with his other.

“Hang on to your butts!” Mritha shouted as she yanked on the wheel and sent the warthog spinning, it’s tail swinging around and taking out a darkness elemental. Silver Xoven let go of the turret and was launched head first after the gargoyle.

“OOOOOOOEMMMMMMGEEEEEE!” he shouted as he sailed through the air.

Mritha threw the hog into reverse and chased after her friend as Draketh fired hundreds of rounds at the box, weakening the wooden structure. Silver Xoven flew just above the gargoyle and slammed the butt of his sniper rifle into it’s skull, knocking it from it’s spine as he sailed past.

Mritha yanked on the wheel a second time and spun the warthog. Now facing the falling gargoyle and it’s cargo, she slammed her foot on the gas as Draketh continued to spray them with a seemingly endless barrage of bullets. “If this scratches the paint I am going to be so mad!” she threatened as the box full of enemy soldiers shattered upon impact with the ground.

Undead, entropic minions, and darkness elementals flew out and Mritha drove straight through the carnage, plowing through the enemy wave with Draketh finishing off the rest. “Why don’t you get up so I can kill you again? He laughed.

“Come on baby, give me more speed!” Mritha coaxed her warthog. She was trying to catch Silver Xoven as he landed, but despite it answering her call, it still was too slow. Silver Xoven landed with a thud right in font of her. She swore and yanked the steering wheel to avoid hitting her friend. The warthog spun sideways and rolled over Silver Xoven, the passenger seat landing on top of him and giving him enough space to avoid being crushed.

It continued to roll, taking out several enemy troops before coming to a stop with both left tires in the air. The warthog seemed to groan and leaned to the right, threatening to tip over.

Mritha slammed her body into her door with just enough forceto cause it to lean the other way. The left tires slammed into the round with a bone jarring thud. Heart pounding, she called to Draketh. “You alive back there?”

“You suck and driving Mritha.”

“Hey now, we are all still in one piece right?”

“Your warthog isn’t, that crazy roll left all kinds of dents and scrapes.” Mritha craned her neck to discover the truth of his words.

“Aww man! I JUST got this thing fixed!”

“You can’t blame it on Odgne this time.” Draketh laughed.

The warthog shuddered.

“Whoa….”

“What was that?”

A loud screech filled the air and the dents bent back into place without leaving a mark of their presence and the scratches simply........faded. “This thing heals itself!” Mritha exclaimed.

“That’s kinda creepy.”

“Creepy? Its COOL!”

“Well, I guess it is a good thing, with you as its driver the warthog needs all the help it can get.”

“Oh shut up.”

Draketh chuckled as Silver Xoven approached. “What was that! You were supposed to catch me!”

“Fall slower next time and maybe I will!”

Suddenly, the warthog cut off.

“You killed it!”

“Did not!”

“Then why is it dead?”

Mritha looked at the dashboard. “Oh you have got to be kidding me.”

“What?”

“We are out of gas.”

“Well…this sucks.” Draketh said as he jumped down from the gunner’s seat.

Mritha too climbed out and the three gathered beside the warthog. “I wil jsy call Odgne to carry us back to Lim’s shop where we can fill up the tank.” She said as the sounds of battle wafted around them.

She plucked at the mental bond with her dragon and called to her. “Odgne! We need your help!”

Her dragon was quick to respond. “What is amiss?”

“The warthog is out of gas.”

Odgne chuckled. “What do you want me to do about it?”

“Carry us back to Lim’s shop so we can fill it up.”

“I don’t have time for that, I need to report to Guardian Kain.”

“So your just going to leave us out here?”

“Yep.”

“That is so mean.”

“You have been though far worse and you are still alive.” The dragon reminded her rider. “Besides, I am honestly curious to see how you will get the hog to Lim’s shop.”

“I’m mad at you now.”

Odgne rolled her eyes. “You got yourself into this mess; you can get yourself out just as easy.”

With that final comment the black dragon ended the conversation with her rider and landed on the Falconreach wall net to Guardian Kain. “Status report.” he commanded at her arrival.

“Many bones lay at out feet, I would say at least seventy five percent of Sepulchure’s forces have been defeated. Though he continues to send more, the rate has significantly slowed.”

“Casualties?”

“Countless injured, and far less dead than there could have been.”

“Even one dead hero or guardian is too many” Kain said with a sigh. “What about moral?”

Odgne hesitated. “Low. The loss of the guardian tower has taken it’s toll. I would suggest spreading the word that the war will soon be over, victory is within our grasp.”

The guardian nodded. “We will take your advice, we must not lose hope!”

“Guardian Kain! Odgne! Come quick!” Ash shouted from some distance away.

Odgne took one step and was standing beside the young knight while Kain ran to keep up. Out of the sea rose a giant undead, covered in chains, seaweed, and broken armor. “Its…an abomination!” Kain exclaimed. “Sepulchure is going to use this to decimate the wall!”

Odgne hissed angrily. “Not on my watch.”


“Well? Is she coming?” Draketh asked.

“No, she is busy.” Mritha responded.

“So what do we do now?” Silver Xoven asked.

Draketh thought for a moment before suggesting. “One of us guards the hog, the other two fight their way back to Lim’s shop, get some gas, then fight our way back and fill up the tank.”

“So who will stay behind?” Mritha asked.

“Not me.”

“Me either.”

“I ain’t gonna do it.”

“Some one has got to.”

“Ok, rock paper scissors, loser guards the hog.”

The three heroes gathered in a circle and thrust out their hands revealing one rock, one paper, and one scissor. The three shared a glance and Silver Xoven asked. “Now what?”


The massive undead beast approached the wall and lifted it’s bony fist to shatter Falconreach’s primary defence.

A black inferno collided with it’s chest and the beast stumbled back. A very angry black dragon roared and landed between the undead and the wall. Recovering, the beast of war screeched angrily and charged the dragon.

Odgne met his charge head on, butting it in the chest with her violet horns and splintering bones. A punch to the side sent her reeling and Odgne leapt to the skies to recover. With her out of the way the undead continued it’s advance.

Odgne grabbed a passing gargoyle and flung it at the undead, enemy reinforcements and all. Infuriated, the beast of war clawed at the sky but Odgne flew above reach. She roared and spat out black fire from her mighty jaws, engulfing the beast in raging flames. It jumped up and grabbed her by the tail, then slammed her into the ground with all it’s strength.

It raised it’s bony foot to crash down on her head only for it to be incinerated by a hungry fire. The beast roared and stamped it’s foot to put out the blaze. Odgne stole this opportunity to tackle the beast to the ground, mauling it with her teeth and claws.

The beast kicked her in the belly, sending her flying toward the wall. The dragon quickly opened her wings and sailed just over the top with barely enough room to spare, guardians diving to the floor to avoid being hit. As the undead rose to it’s feet, Ogdne made a wide circle and crashed into it’s back. “For Falconreach!” she roared and clamped her jaws down on it’s spine.

The undead shuddered, then simply fell apart, it’s bones and armor crashing to the ground. Odgne looked up and saw Fluffy circling high overhead. The black dragon hissed at her foe but knew better than to attack. She instead flew close to the ground and made her way back to Falconreach.


“Almost…THERE!” Mritha, Draketh, and Silver Xoven collapsed to the ground in front of Lim’s shop and leaned against the warthog, exhausted from having pushed it all the way there.

“Ok…Mritha.” Silver Xoven panted. “Fill…’er up.”

“You…do it. I’m too…tired.”

“So…am I!”

“And? Pushing this thing…was YOUR idea!”

“You’re the one…who agreed to it!”

Draketh rolled his eyes. “Oh shut up… Both…of you!”


The three heroes stood next to the black warthog, each saddened by the day’s events. Behind them, Odgne stared off into space, still in shock. “The next great fire dragon is allied with Sepulchure…another Akriloth we will soon face.” She murmured. “And my predictions were wrong. This war is not close to being over, it has barely begun.”

“Stupid stupid STUPID!” Mritha bereted herself. “I should have known the Darkness Orb wouldn’t be safe in the bank, I should have never let it out of my sight!”

Draketh shook his head sadly. “Lady Celestia was one of those people you just assumed would always be around…I can’t believe she is gone.”

“She had the best tea cakes I have ever eaten.” Silver Xoven commented.

“How can you think of food at a time like this?” Mritha asked.

“I am ALWAYS thinking about food”

Draketh chuckled, though the laugh was half hearted. To keep their minds off their morbid thoughts, Odgne said. “You know how pirates name their ships?”

“EVERYONE names their ships Odgne, not just pirates.” Draketh pointed out.

“Well, yes, but why do pirates name their ships?” the dragon asked.

“So that when they attack someone their name is more spread easily spread throughout Lore?” Silver Xoven asked.

“Exactly. Their intent is to make themselves known, drive fear into the hearts of their prey. The easiest way to make sure the name they want to be known as is to name their ship the said name and go by that.”

Mritha rubbed her temples, both confused and slightly annoyed at her dragon. “What are you getting at?” she asked.

“We should name the warthog.”

“Why?”

Odgne sighed. “For the same reason the pirates name their ships. To make a name. When a villain attacks Falconreach, they will know they have to get past this strange vehicle that can shoot through armor, crash through any kind of enemy, and is all but undefeatable due to it’s ability to heal itself.” The dragon paused. “In the same way the name of a pirate ship strikes fear into the hearts of sailors, so the name of the warthog will strike fear, and hopefully pause, into the black hearts of all who wish ill on this city.”

Each hero was silent as they chewed on Odgne’s bold words. Draketh was the first to speak up. “I like the idea, but what will we name it?”

“Food.”

“I am NOT naming my warthog food!” Mritha said as she glared at Silver Xoven.

“Name your…no! I said food because I am hungry.” he responded with a grin. Draketh smacked him in the back of the head, Gibbs style. “Hey!”

“Pay attention!” Draketh ordered. Silver Xoven rubbed the back of his head and grumbled.

“Violet Shadow?” Mritha offered.

“Why am I not surprised that the first name you pick is purple?”

“Because purple is awesome.”

Draketh laughed then said “What about Hell’s Fury?” he asked, then shot it down. “No, it doesn’t really fit.”

“The Evil Undead Penguin Nommer.” Odgne said. The three heroes burst out laughing. “What? I think it is a good idea!”

“You’re the only one Odgne.” Silver Xoven laughed. The dragon snorted at his comment.

Calming down, Mritha said. “We need a name that shows we will not back down from a fight.”

“And it needs to be fearsome.” Silver Xoven added.

“As well as serious, nothing silly.” Draketh said, looking pointedly at the black dragon.

Determination sparked in Silver Xoven’s eyes as he said. “No mater what we will always stand against our foes, never backing down. The name must make light of that."

“United, brothers and sisters of war forming an unbroken defense.” Draketh added.

“Fearless.” Odgne spoke. “Against the impossible we fight on.”

“We are unyielding against all odds.” Draketh said with determination.

“That’s it!” Mritha exclaimed. “That is what we will name the warthog. The Unyielding.”

Odgne slowly spoke the name out loud, testing the way it sounded. “It is perfect.”

“I love it! Now let’s get some lunch.” Silver Xoven said.

Mritha ignored his last comment and said. “Then it is settled. From this day forth the warthog will be known as The Unyielding.”

TRIVIA
The song Unyielding, appearing in Halo 2, uses the same rhythm as Rock Anthem for Saving the World in Halo: Combat Evolved and Three Gates and One Final Effort in Halo 3. A different version of this song, one that is more true to the original Halo theme is played during the Warthog Escape in Combat Evolved where Master Chief has just a few minutes to reach the ship before The Pillar of Autumn blows, taking the first Halo ring with it and to get there, he drives a warthog. This is arguably the most remembered scene featuring said vehicle in all the Halo games thus far.

I wrote a some poems for this war. I do think that they fit quite nicely.

"The Hero"

There is an evil in this land,
Biding his time and lying in wait.
Waiting to play a most evil hand,
Destroying hope and messing with fate.

"By sword and steel the shadows fall,"
Says the warrior who protects us all,
By the might of his shining blade,
All the evils will be slayed.

Hero and Villain meet in a final clash,
An epic battle, lands crushed into ash,
Needless to say, the hero won,
But his journey has just begun.


"The Final Battle"

The challenge was issued by a man,
With a skull as thick as a frying pan.
It appeared just like the turn of a dime,
So many waves in such a short time.

From Ten to Three, only five hours,
Then the bell rang. Show Womba your powers.
The Impossible Task has begun.
Time to show who is number one.

The Warriors draw their blades with might,
To show Undead that they don’t feel fright.
Hacking and slashing, making the way,
So that the challenge will be over today.

The Mages channel power through their staffs and wands,
Freeing the scared from Terror’s tight bonds.
Fighting with magic and words as well,
Making the skies rain fires from Hell.

The Rouges disappear without a sound,
Not leaving a trace upon the ground.
With daggers in hand, they sneak and crawl,
Leaving people to think of the Undead they’ll maul.

Sepulchure stands in his castle so high,
Finally thinking that the end is nigh.
He is so drunk on DOOM and power,
That he thinks this is Falconreach’s final hour.

But, we, The Heroes, will finally win.
And there will be an uproar with a deafening din.
Drakath is gone and Sepulchure slain.
Never again will they cause any pain.

Lore war 1

Chapter 1

A small black toddler dragon flew in the sky above town. Following him was Kinzvlle dressed in robes. Next to him was Chain Saw Danger who kept looking up into the sky. "It is so warm to day these robes are killing me. Dracoevil go higher and further keep a look out for him" shouted Kinzvlle from the ground.


"Wait a minute when did Elysia come into town?" Asked Chain Saw Danger. Then a green baby dragon flew into town and landed next to Chain Saw. "Steve go with Dracoevil and scout out for a invasion" Chain Saw said in a stern voice. After the dragon flew off the two ran over to Elysia.

"Sepulchure is attacking Lady Celesita sent me her to help out she would be here to but she is tending to a hatching egg." Elysia said in a panicked voice. Kinzvlle started to wonder if it could be the egg of Akrlloth.

"Hes coming!" Screamed Dracoevil flying into town. "We flew away as fast we could to make sure he didn't see us." Then Steve came flying up behind Dracoevil out of breathe and panting like wild. After he caught his breathe he started to speak.

" Sepulchure is coming from the north!" He quickly said. With a twinkle in his eyes and a grin on his face Kinzvlle ripped off the robes to reveal a brightly, polished paladin armor and a density weapon by his side.

" He thought we wouldn't expect him did he?" Kinzvlle shouted with a grin. " While we speak i have a army decked in paladin armor and density weapons heading this way to fend off any undead!" Then almost out of nowhere a ninja and a rouge appeared.

" Commandeer he is coming from the north sneevils 1, 2, and 3 have been dressed in there doom sneevil costumes and have gained access to his lair." Said the rouge. The ninja just stood there and nodded. " Mcsneaky is trying to figure out who Sepulchure`s spy's are. The rouge manged to say before breaking out in laughter over the name and being scolded by the ninja.

" Good job spy unit!" Kinvlle said with satisfaction before the rouge and ninja vanished into thin air. The guardians started to move in to defend the town. Then Kinzvlle`s army arrived. "Prepare yourself men sharpen you weapons, recharge your energy, polish your armor so it shins bright, call to your side your pets and companions and be ready to attack at my command!" Then Kinzvlle heard Ash calling his name so he went over to see what he wanted. Then hideous flying undead creatures appeared at Falcon Reaches shore. The towns archers started to attack. As the boxes they were carrying hit the ground they opened to reveal Sepulchure`s minions. Kinzvlle ran into the battle field with Ash by his side. They approached Dracoevil.

Dracoevil opened his mouth to speak but he spoke in dragon tongue. "hold the other end so you can hear him Ash" Kinzvlle said holding his dragon amulet on one end and hold the other end out to Ash. When Dracoevil started speaking it started glowing red.

" Why is Ash here?" Asked darcoevil.

"He wants to fight with us i think he is strong enough now to fight" Kinzvlle said patting Ash on the back.

" This is war this not time or place for weaklings like him!" Darcoevil said in a angry tone " He will just get hurt and i don`t think i can watch a foolish kid hurt himself!" He said in a even madder tone.

"then will you at least go and help out Chain Saw Danger and Steve?" Kinzvlle said to him in a gentle voice. Dracoevil nodded to signify yes and flew off toward them. " Don`t let him get to you Ash the best you can do is prove him wrong on the battle field." Kinzvlle said patting Ash on the back before giving his army the command to attack. He ran into battle with ash by his side screaming "FOR FALCON REACH!"



chapter 2

It was late at night when the town was silent two figures were talking just outside the east gate of Falcon Reach. One of the figures was Kinzvlle. "Thanks for coming to help in the war master." He said while taking out what looked to be a elemental essence out of a strange gray object. "Why are you helping though i thought you hated Falcon Reach for it`s crimes against science?" Then he put what looked like what he had pulled out of the object but different in a way, like it had been upgraded. Then the object started to make a sound then i got up and started to walk. That wasn't a elemental essence it was a battery. The object was a metal elemental. " oh good i zee you have given them the upgraded battriez. I am helping in thiz war for a few rezonz. I need to tezt zome ztuff, Zeppy uze`z magic and i want to do rezreach to make a undead robot, to prove that what magic can do zo can zeince!"

Kinzvlle stared at the town and sighed . "A lot of people in town distrust you and the guardians won`t take to nicely to seeing you with a army. Even if you are just trying to help so i think we should only send the army in late a night when the guardians, are asleep and only the most serious and/or insane fighters are on the battle field" Then singing could be hear. It was coming from Oaklore forest.

" Catapult gonna come back gonna come back catapult gotta come back." It was Mechajin who was singing. He began to talk to himself. " I am so happy i haven`t used a sponge catapult since Raveonloss war. I have been spending my time in the keep with the nitroglycerin cannonball catapult." Then he manged to make to east gate were he saw Kinzvlle, Voltabolt and a whole bunch of metal elemental`s.

Then a undead`s skull flew past them and there standing in front of them was the king of the warmongers Eric Greydwan. " hmm lets see Voltabolt, Kinzvlle, Mechajin and a possible invasion force what to think what to think." He said with his finger to his chin. Then they heard the engines of a Warthog.

A purple Warthog parked in front of them. It was Mirtha. " Hey Kins what are you doing with Volabolt and why does he have a attack force?" Kinzvlle sighed and started to explain. He excepted them to turn on him and attack him but they didn't. " You need a ride?" Mirtha asked climbing into her Warthog. Mehajin gave Voltabolt a few beakers of nitroglycerin and explained to him how to use it as fuel.

"Anyone willing to help is a ally of ours." Eric said as he walked to the Warthog. "Boy i am a ever thirsty". He said. Then a light bulb went off in Kinzvlle`s head.

"We have Doom Cola" He said picking up two 1 gallon jugs of Doom Cola. They had there drink. They drunk half of a jug of Doom Cola. they put what was left in the back of the Warthog. Then Mirtha, Voltabolt, Eric and Mechajin hopped into the Warthog and seeded away with Voltabolts army following them onto the battlefield.

Chapter 3

Kinzvlle wakes in a bed in the inn and his head is hurting. Leaning over him is Solar. "How you feeling?" He said handing him a ice pack. "I sent Ash out to get you some food from Greteal`s to make you feel better' He said closing the window

" What happened the last thing I remember was Nix came at 6:00 because we had not gotten halfway through the war yet and according to our bet i had to be his and Seppys pastry chef but could still fight against him. Then undead solders put chains around my ankles and took me to Seppys fortress. He tired to bribe me to join his side when i kept saying no he turned to torture i still said no then he shot me with a bolt of magic and then i woke up here." Said kinzville reaching for the glass of doom cola on the night stand next to his bed.

Solar gave him a straw and started to tell him what happened. " That spell not only let Seppy control your mind but it also let him corrupt you." Solar looked into Kinzvlle`s eyes and started to talk again. "You started to become a death knight your hair even turned red so did your eyes I saved you from the spell." Just then Ash came in holding a tray of boiled chicken cow eggs.

Kinzvlle started to eat. "How long have i been unconscious?" He asked.


"Since Monday" Solar said. Just then a sponge whizzed past the window. Kinzvlle poked his head out the window. He looked to see Mechajin waving to him from his catapult. Then Mirtha threw him a purple jacket with the words "Midnight Mechanical Undead Destroyers" on it. He put it on over his armor. Ash just stood and looked at it.

Then Finley he started to speak. " So that is what you o have been doing when you sneak out of the inn late at night when you think i am asleep in my room!" Ash said madly "I have seen you threw the window I must admit you guys cut throw waves really fast but why didn't you ask me to help?" When Ash asked this question unease filled the room. Kinzvlle got up and left the room. Ash sat around and mopped he thought Kinzvlle would never come back. But when he did come back he was holding a purple jacket out to Ash. Before Ash could even say thank you Kinzvlle ran out of the room because of something he saw from the window.

"Dragon bomb runs!" He said with a burst of joy. He quickly hopped on Dracoevil and started a bomb run. In the middle of the bomb run he stopped. Sepuchlure`s fortress was covered with bugs. Then a body flew through the sky. Then the Fortress crashed into the tower! "Genocide!" Screamed kinzvlle in horror. He flew down to the hill were family's were morning over loved ones lost in the crash. "We have lost so many guardians we will need to recruit more". He overheard a guardian say. "i`ll do it" he quickly said. Happily the gauiredin gave him his armor and sent him off to protect the town.

chapter 4

It was midnight and a purple Warthog was speeding towards the front lines with a army of mettle elemental s behind it. " Delicious simply amazing!" Said Kinzvlle stuffing a deviled chicken cow egg in his mouth.

"They are good but do not get any thing on the seats" Mirtha said looking at the clean Warthog floor. "Havent heard from Ash or Voltabolt for a while" said Mirtha looking down on the floor of the Warthog floor were Ash and Voltabolt were sleeping. " I think i need a bigger Warthog!" Mirtha said ruing over a undead soldier. "Kinz can you warp them in the blankets i brought? It is supposed to be very cold tonight."

"Noobs!" Said Eric with spite leaning back into his seat.

"OH be fair Voltabolt has been working on making more metal ellmeantlaes. Also Ash has been fighting hard in the war and he also has been delivering the mail as well. He heaped me talk Gretel into leaving her shop and bring food to give to the villagers seeking refuge, hunger fighters and the injured in the inn. Plus he is just a kid let them sleep." Just then the rouge and the ninja hoped down fro the trees. Then sneevils 1, 2 and 3 come out of the bushes.

" Great now we have to listen to sneevil language" said Eric grumpily.

"Ahem we had a spell put on us we can speak in any language we like even you language." Said a sneevil with a sign with the number 1 on it tied around his neck. " It helps us in our line of work we our spy's after all!" He said turning to the sneevil next to him who`s sign had a 2 on it.

"We manged to get onto the fortress dressed as doom sneevils." He said looking down at his soaked costume. " The person Seppy blasted off the fortress was grams. The real grams not the fake Grams that was spying on Faclon Reach! The real Grams was Seppys daughter`s nanny!"

"Seppy has a daughter!" Every one shouted at the same time! Just then Kinzvlle noticed that sneevil 3 was missing! Just then out from the ruins of the fortress pope`d out the hand of a sneevil.

To be continued in chapter 5!


Chapter 5!

Kinzvlle pulled the sneevil out of the water! it was indeed Sneevil 3! after coughing up some water he began to speak. "First of all the living quarters on the fortress are awesome and so is the view! The whole fortress is awesome! Anyways Grams caused the fall she had sent bugs to sabotage the fortress. The original the landing location was in the sea not to far away from The Locker. Grams and Gravelyin Seppy`s daughter were on the sky deck of the fortress. They were about to ride a pair of bees to Falcon Reach when Seppy blasted Grams. The blast was powerful enough to change the course of the fortress. Darketh jumped off the sky deck at the last minute i think he landed somewhere in the surrounding woods. Nix was safe and sound in his temporary base but from from the fortress i saw him running to the falling fortress. The entropic minions that normally stay in the thin walled room next to the throne room came running out. They trampled me in the hall and knocked me into the throne room. Two more people that worked for Seppy also escaped using the the boxes that transport the undead to the town! Sneevil 1 did the same thing to it was the quickest way out since he was on the lowest deck, which is were they load. Sneevil 2 jumped from the baloney into the ocean. The shadow creatures that were in the throne room just disappeared. Seppys throne tipped over and landed on me i was knocked unconscious." He said then he try`ed to get up but screamed in pain. Mirtha took him to the inn were Twilly was healing the injured. Eric went to hunt down Nix. Ash went to tell Aria about her Grams. Kinzvlle went to talk to his solders.

After giving his men new orders Kinzvlle went to the town walls to fulfill his new duties as a Guardian . Then a red mist formed around the walls and a undead giant appeared! Kinzvlle quickly hopped onto Dracoevils back and destroyed the giant! Tired and wounded from the fight Kinz and Darcoevil went back to there room in the inn.

Chapter 6

A group of guardians were standing beside the ruins of the tower. In the middle of them was Kinzvlle holding up papers and blueprints. "OK then that is my plan for a statue in honer of the guardians!" Kinzvlle said putting the papers in his back pack. One of the guardians came up to him and put his arm around him.

" I like you kid i will be sure to pass this along but no promises" He said with smile. Just then a scream of pain could be heard coming from Falcon Reach zoo. Kinzville quickly ran to Zoo. After entering and seeing what had happened he smiled.

"Just as I thought!" He said when he saw that Ash had pounded a nail into his thumb. He took the nail out of his thumb. Then he pulled some band-aids out of his back pack and gave one to Ash. "Is it ready?" Asked Kinz.

"The Falcon Reach petting zoo is ready!" Said Ash while pounding down a little sign that said "Grams idk-2011" Ash then walked over to a rope. "When I pull this rope a alarm goes off, then the pets know to get there pets packs on and go fight!' Ash said pointing to a covered table full of little pet sized green back packs! "The pet bargade is ready for combat!" Ash shouted!

Then Kinzvlle walked towards the front lines. Just then a cannon blast went off and a skull with a dagger flew past his head! He looked up to see Chain saw Danger rolling towards him! "One good thing about being a handicapped x rouge is shooting you`r old daggers out of a Cannon!" He said with a chuckle.

"It seems you do not mind being a gps 2.0" Said Kinzvlle with a light chuckle. "Report how are my troops doing?" Asked Kinzvlle.

"Good we should have this army finished off any moment now there are many injured and even more of those that have died!" He said with sigh. Then Kinzvlle walked to the shoreline. Then he called out to Sepchlure changeling him to a fight. They had a short talk then the fight began. Kinzvlle was down withing 4 minutes! His helmet got smashed on and he could not hear much. He heard something about a hacthing and a father welcoming someone. Then a small red dragon with gold horns flew down beside Seppy . A bolt of fear raced down his spine. Seppy left the same way he came in a beam of darkness.

After having his helm ripped off he put his hand on Ashs`s wrist and set his wings to turbo blast! He flew to the grove. Ellyisa saw him and let him in through the barer! "What happened!" Screamed Kinzvlle. Ellyisa showed him the broken cup and he understood. The lady had died with a tear he garbed Ash again and went back to Falcon Reach to avenge her death! When he returned even more undead were attacking town!

That next week went by slowly . Rollith the captain of the knights gave a speech. Mirtha was seen running to the bank! Lady Greydawn sold her wares by the pier at night. Then on Friday it happened! Mirtha ran up to Kinzvlle and screamed "I put the darkness in the bank and Seppy stole it!" She then broke into tears. Then the head of The Heavy artillery Squad spy unit a small gnome covered in a red robe smoking a pipe. His name is Mcsneaky! Best spy in Lore!


"Dargsvard is melting Xan is doing it!" He said before taking a puff form his pipe. "Do not worry about leaving town Dargonsgasrp is coming to help go to Dargsvard!" Shouted the gnome. Kinzvlle took the next gryphon to Dargsvard! When he got there the floor was wet from melted ice! Then Kinz ran to Galanoth`s home were he kept the orb of ice! When he reached the special ice orb containment unit known as a fridge he was too late. Seppy and his spy Gary had gotten the ice orb!


Then on Thursday June 2nd Kinzvlle`s own birthday Mcsneaky came to him once more and send "Help Popsrocket is under attack the robots are infected again and now an army of undead attacks the very chains that stabilize the city to the ground please we need help in making bombs!" He said with a scared tone "You are the best bomb maker in Lore please Help!" Yelled Mcsneaky with a tear!

" I will leave for Popsrocket tomorrow" Said Kinzvlle.


"But Kins Dargonsgarsp is not here yet town can not offered to lose anther defender. Ya Artix helped alot is his freakout of angrier over the death of the Lady but he needs to sleep!" Ash said with a scared look in his yes!

"Do not worry when Artix awakens and hears what Seppey is doing he will be back out and fight. Also we have anther defense Ash pull the rope!" Shouted Kinzvlle! Ash ran to the petting zoo and pulled the rope! The pet bargade rushed onto the battlefield.


Chapter 7.

Kinzvlle flew into Popsrocket with Darcoevil by his side! "Sorry i am late air traffic!" He said upon landing! He ran over to Craze who was also there!

"Hi dynamite?" Asked Carze holding out a big stick of it!

"Is that the best you have?" Asked Dacroevil "you have better equipment for making bombs then you have bombs!!"

"well by law i can give people no higher explosives ever since the incident!"Said Cazre putting away the stick of dynamite.

"Speaking of that were are the materials!" Asked Kinzvlle! " Do not tell me you lost them!" He screamed in rage! While Kinz was chasing his dragon in anger Andodalf walked over to them!

"Me bomb expert me do boom!" He said happy! " Yum i want bbq like the kinds they made at paladin hq!"

"Oh yes the paladin expelled man is here" Darcoevil said meanly! "Also i thought all the bomb experts on Lore would be here!" He asked ! Then a group of robots saw them and started coming toward them!

"Looks like spyware!" Kinzvle said as they were ruining away! Then Andodalf stopped to sniff the air!

"From what i learned about dark magic i can safely say i smell undead!" He said looking towards his comrades! Then Mcsneaky and a bunch of other gnomes took them and took them through a group of secret passageways! They arrived in a bomb factory in the deep end of the city! It was filled with gnomes and bomb experts! Yix filed them in on what was going on!

"Eww what is that liquid" Screamed Darcoevil!

"Oh sorry that's my brain fluid!" Said Carze

"Dude you are leaking on my hat!" shouted Andodalf! After Carze had corks stuffed in his ears to stop the leak Kinz noticed the sponges!

"Wow mass produce sponges cool!" He said! Then a sponge came of the belt! A gnome caught and then throw it making a small explosion! After that whole mess they went to work making bombs! Carze had to work on low level ones by law! For hours bombs were made then dropped of the city to the undead below! Then the undead snapped one of there chains! Then the power went out! The town of Popsrocket fell! They quickly ran to the orb containment unit! Which was very high tech by the way!! The energy orb was gone! Before he left Mcsneaky gave Kinzvlle a list of suspects for the spy! Those on the list were Mysterious gnome,Yix,Airheart, and Snou the giant!

Kinzvle and Dacroevil went to Dagrsvard! They breasted Xan away! Then they flew back to Falcon Reach! Kinzvlle sent Ash to Dargsvard to help mop up the water! He also told Ash to help the gnomes with damage control afterwards! He sent Chain Saw Danger to the Sandsea with some solders to help protect the light orb! He then took some solders with him to Sho Nuff to protect the wind orb!

Chapter 8

Kinzvlle stood on a boat going to Sho Nuff! He had went to Sho Nuff on Saturday! He and some solders went and slept in and protected Kordna the robotic mecha that had fallen years ago and the wind orb! He and Darcoevil left the island for a party at Falcon Reach! It was to celebrate Kinzvlle`s 5th year of being a hero and Darcoevils fourth birthday! Kinzvlle gave Darcoevil a quick glance. He thought about how strong he had gotten in the past years! Then he started to remember the party! There was a giant cake in the center of town! Half angel food half dragon food! There were waring contests! There were party games like pin the weapon on the undead, whack the necromancer, Seppy plushy stab down, and a Seppy pinata fool of candy and weapons! Near the end of the party his dragon amulet started to glow! Elyisa who ever since the lady`s death had become the new dragon priestess of the prophecy! Had found a book about the amulets powers on top of the lady`s dresser! She started to read from it! " On the hero's 5th year of adventure and the dragons 4th year of life a new power will reveal it self. The power to make something look like one thing but act like anther the power of Show! The power shall only work on helms,weapons, and capes!" Kinzvlle was to tried to try the power out that night! He had been toying without below deck on the boat earlier that morning! Kinzvlle looked at darcoevil as he was trying to fly below deck to the store room to garb anther bag of dragon food! Kinzvlle stopped him and try`ed to get him to stop eating them out of house home!


Then the ship captain told the, to go below and deck and get there things! Kinzvlle put his things back in his back pack. Then kinz slapped Darcoevil for flying towards the leftover cake on the dresser! Darcoevil then put on a pet pack that he made Aria and Ash make for him! Kinzvlle put the cake in the store room then locked it! Kinzvlle then jotted down some things in his mission log and went up to the poop deck! They had landed on the island! Darcoevil flew off saying he was going to check up on Ospery
Cove and The Shadow Of The Wind Village! But he was just out to hunt for food! On shore Kinzvlle found that defense drones were going nuts all over the place! Kinzvlle ran to the forest path between the two towns! When he got there he saw a pirate and a ninja locking swords!

He manged to get them to put there weapons to there sides! Then he ran to get the orb! When he got to the part of the forest just before Koradna he found his solders unconscious! He summed Darcoevil to take them to the boat`s medicine room ! Then he ran to get inside but a shield of energy blocked the way! He noticed that a part of the mech had been broke! Then Kordna started up and rose to attack! Just at that that moment Darcoevil returned! Kinzvlle hoped on his back and they fought her! After they defeated her they rushed in! Before rushing in Kinzvlle spotted giant tracks! When they got inside Kordna was shutting down! She had enough power left to show some camera footage! A pirate/ninja monkey had taken the orb!

Then Kinzvlle went to the boat! He talked to his life time friend who had steered Kinzvlle`s boat the adventure for years Captain Swashbuckler! He told the captain to take the injured solders to Falcon Reach for help for medical help Twilly! Then he flew on his dragon Darcoevil to the Sandsea to help Zhoom and Chain Saw Danger protect the light orb!

Chapter 9

At dawn Zhoom,Chain Saw Danger, Ash, Darcoevil, and Kinzvlle prepared to capture the spy before he got the orb of light! Kinzvlle took a finale look at the papers he had brought with him and had been reading the night before! Zhoom and Chain Saw made diagrams,discussed theories, and looked at photos! Then it was decide the spy was Kasuf!

Darcoevil rushed in with some supple`s he had bought. He gave Kinz a brown investigator hat and Ash a fake mustache. Then a chair was set up in the middle of the room. Darcoevil gave Ash the tape. Then Zhoom took his new bow and arrows behind the small hut to Patrice.The lights were cut in the small hut were KInz,Darcoevil, Chain Saw Danger, and Ash were staying! A small hanging lamp was put above the chair! Chain Saw Danger then put on his special sand tracks and went out to patrol town and get groceries.


Then Darcoevil flew up and started to patrol the sky's. Ash stood in the shadows and practiced questing the spy. Zhoom went out to run around and patrol the Sandsea. Kinzvlle went out to find Kasuf! It took him a while but he found him and knocked him unconscious. Ash tapped him to the chair when he was brought in the hut!

When Kazuf finely awoke Ash and Kinzvlle started to yell questions from the shadows! Ash then ran up to Kazuf and held the lamp in his face! After a awkward moment when Ash lost his mustache Zhoom ran in! Light flooded the room! Zhoom explained the orb was stolen! Kinzvlle, Ash,Zhoom, and Kasuf ran out the back door that lead to a path through the dessert!


They made there way to a cliff were a figure in a cloak was! The spy was Kasuf`s daughter! She was threatened by Sepulcher! She try`ed to destroy the orb but Sepulcher and Darketh arrived before she could! She try`ed to sacrifice her self and the orb by jumping off the cliff! Darketh caught the orb! Sepulcher told them that his new lair was in the bad lands! With this news the team of hero's and errand boy/mail man/arch knight went on there way to Falcon Reach Leaving Zhoom to comfort Kusuf!


When they got there they went up to the room in the inn were Kinzville`s injured solders were. One of the solders manged to say "Snou is a spy!" Before screaming in pain from his broken ribs! The rest of them were fast a sleep! Kinzvlle left the inn and went to meet Captain Swashbuckler at the pier!


"Is the battle boat ready?" Asked Kinzville. Swashbuckler nodded! "good that thing is like a monster on the sea get it prepared but do not use it till i say so!" Right after Kinz said that the captain sailed off towered the secret cove were the battle boat was kept! Kinzvlle looked in the sky at Dragonsgrasp then at the battle field. He went to Lim`s shop were his wings were recharging and the others were waiting.

"So Bad Lands huh!" Said Darcoevil when Kinzvlle entered.

"Yup well then lets go Darcoevil titan up!" Said Kinz while shining his amulet in the sun! Darcoevil gained titan form! Ash hopped on Darcoevil`s back! Chain Saw Danger had to be put into a little box underneath Darcoevil which was hooked up by rope! Because Chain Saw can not walk and it is hard to get a gps 2.0 on a dragon! Then Kinz took his wings and started off towards the Bad Lands everyone else followed!

Chapter 10

The gang were on there way to the badlands when Darcoevil looked behind them and said. "Um guys why are the undead huddling around that tree?" Kinzvlle pulled out his portable telescope and took a look.

"Only one seems inserted in the tree the rest seem to be just guarding it!" He said before doing the biggest gasp in Lore. "Oh no that is the tree were they keep the secret emergency war equipment!" Kinz shouted out!


"Get off me and put me back in toddler form I can dodge easy that way and i can beat the boss like a piece of cake i will stay protract the equipment! You guys go check out those screams coming from the mill!" Shouted Darcoevill! When every was off him he returned to toddler form! He protected the tree while every one else went to the mill!

Ash, Kinz, and Chain Saw ran to the mill! When they passed through the gate it was clear they had to take out the leader but who was the leader? There was no time Kinz had to be at the bad lands but he could not leave the mill under attack! "I will stay here and protect the mill you two go to the bad lands!" Shouted Chain Saw danger heading into the mill before he could be stopped!


"OK then my rocket powered wings are taking more then ware and tare from the war so me and Ash will drop them off at Volabot`s place to get fixed, and then join the caravan to the bad lands!" Kinz said as him and Ash walked away!

Before leaving town Kinzvlle bought a weapon from the Lady by the pier! Protracted by what was left of the guardians and a few guards from Dragon`s grasp the small group made there way to the bad lands! They went on foot so it took them a while to get there. When they got there Sepulcher! was waiting fro them! Using the power of the nature orb Sepulcher made a earth quake while a group of undead necromancers created a army to hold off the rest of the group while Kinz ran into the fortress! Ash was shocked when he saw who the necromancers were! Kinzvlle ran through the evil base up a million stairs! When he got to the door to the next sector of the fortress Sepulcher taunted him! Kinzvlle advanced closer to the balcony!

Chapter 11

As Kinzvlle entred the next sector of the tower he opend a hacth on the back of his armor! He pulled out a old small lether backpack and looked thourgh it. There were a few old wepons,some of Kinz old journels, some old compney records, and the dead to Kinz house in Dargsvard! He had better wepons then those, He had no use for the journels,the records were old and no longer needed, and his hous was all ready destoryed in the flood! So he kept everything in the backpack and tossed it on the floor! He then pulled out a stain less steal bacpack! I was enchated so it was biggeer on the inside and could hold almost anything! Kinz nocteid that it was dark in the frotress so he pulled out and turned on a plasma torch! As Kinz walked down the hall he saw Snou!

"You gaint worthless spy!" Shouted Kinzvlle "You are going to get burned Snou!"

"My real name is Gadget" screamed the gaint while smacking Kinz with her wrench! Kinzvlle used the torch to burn Gadgets leg! Gadget kicked the torch out of his hand coueing it go arcross the room and burn Kinz`s hand! kinz took out a bowling ball and dropped it on her foot! She bent down held her foot and screamd! Then she ran upstairs!

Then Kinzvlle pulled out a nirtoglicren soaked banana and luared the pinja monkey right to him! He wacked the sword out of the monkeys tail! He picked the monkey up by it`s tail and threw it upsatairs!

Then he pulled out a boomarang made out of fire and ran towards Gary the ice elf spy! They were locked i a long hour og combat! Then Gary twisted Kinz`s wirst sending the boomarang out of a window! Then Gary went upinstairs!

Then Kinz saw the head spy Captin Hugo! Kinz pulled out the leftover sheild and the ice pop sword of doom! Kinz quickley sends Hugo up the stairs! When he got to Seppys orb merge chamber! Seppy made the ullmite orb! Then Darketh killed Seppy and absorded the power of the orb!

Chapter 12

kinzvlle could not stop thinking about what happend at the top of the tower as he carwled thourgh the vents! He was in war hq! War hq was buliding in Falcon Reach wich served as the hq for warmongers when Faclon Reach got atatacked (wich is alot) or if there was a war close enough to town they could use the hq! Every year Kinzvlle put on a fire work show in the middle of town! Last year he allmost blew up the town! So Andodalf took the key to the pryostetic room away fro Kinzvlle! So now Kinz was carwling thourgh the vents to get to the pryostentic room!

He came rooms uper vent grat so he took out his screwdirver and unscrewd the grate and jumped thourgh the hole down to the room below! He grabbed some fireworks and went outside thourgh the side door! He saw the undead and got a idea! He tied some undead to some fireworks and sent them off! Then he took some sword sise sparkelers and and gave them out at the front lines! Kinzvlle knew not only the towns folk but the people fighting the war were getting teired,streesed, and meals of nothing but leftovere moglin berry cider! What happend at the town didn`t help to much ethere!

So to put there mind at rest just for a night he arganed the best firework show on lore! To give them at least one good meal he called some of the towns best cook out to make a good meal! Greateal brought her barbey, Serintey brought out her grill, and Lady Greydawn brought her pot! Kinz sated sending some dreadfuley hated new capes and wings up in the air with some fireworks bloweing them up! Then Andodalf got fed up with Goi beating him up so he teid him self to one of Kinz rockets! People kept steping up to the rocket launcher and changed the course of the rocket so maney times that to this day they still have no idea were the rocket landed! (Andolf made it back to town well actulley he was found passed out in some far off mountin rage with the rocket no where to be seen but he was back at town the next day) Kinz sent up fire carkers till it was time to eat!

Serintey made (Um brought) The ice, gun powder gumbo, oil stew, sand wiches, chop sticks made of bones, and spy sausge! Greteal made roasted entog, panic pot roast, brunt veggtables, bettale juice, and tea! lady Greaydawn made slime gumbo, eyeball pie, and home made marshmallows! Kinz and the people from the mill took some wood and made a bon fire! They partyed all night long!

When kinzvlle woke up for some reson he was in a hollwed out firework! He put away the fireworks till next year and pulled out a carte of mana bomb and was about to hop on his dargon! When (a gerneal) came up to Kins tossed him a gerneals uniform and the nezt thing KInzvlle knew he was in charge of the bombers! Within the next few hours dust bones and slim covred the air as a result of multipe bombing raids lead by Kinzvlle!

Chapter 13

Kinzvlles was takeing advangte of the confussein within the undead army to get in some free kills! He find some chests he heard noises from inside! Darcoevil (KInz dargon) Chain Saw (Kinz best freind) and Steve (Chain Saw`s dragon) in charge of guarding his chests! Then Ash ran up to Kinz! He had a letter from a archolgist in Hunters Paridise!! They have just uncoverd a new tomb! "Ash inform thhat i will come when the town is protected!" Shouted Kinz to ash handing him a pen!

War. Destruction. Should I care? No.

Well actually, I should.

Maybe I should grab popcorn?

Stop talking about these foolish things!

Mystus's mind was in conflict with itself. It had been ever since his title was changed to Doom Desirer. One side of his mind stood for Good, and one for evil. But today it was almost cured. Today was Friday the 13th, the day of fate. For now. Sepulchre would attack, and the heroes of falconreach would either die, or win.

As the undead were seen marching from Sepulchre's castle, Doom Desirer was on a stump, manipulating a map of magic. It was made of time, so he saw the undead's plots. Or at least, he was supposed to see. There was dark energy blocking their actions from being seen.

Why should I care? My fate is playing in its own hands now. And Sepulchre is the hands. I'm dead.

NO! You are a hero, this is your destiny! You saw things that others do not see. Now you see things that aren't even there! You are a legend! Remember your path, remember your journey. Battle on!

The good side of his mind took over. "Now," through Doom Desirer's own will, "The undead will DIE!!!"

To be continued....

How could he have been so stupid, he hadn't taked care and an undead soldier had managed to hurt him, he coudn't help but look at his artificier armor, full of scars, now it just had another one, but he had to return to the front, he took his Scythe and his bolter, and he headed to the battle with his fellow battle brothers, he had created the Fighters of Falconreach, and inside it, the Death Guard, the seven originall founders where his Deathshroud, curiously seven was the sacred number of his god, but he didn't cared, he went to war

As soon as he went out he was greeted by entropic earth, he destroyed them with a single swing, soon he heard a noise, "So you managed to fix that ol wartog of you Mritha"

"That I just did", said Mritha with a wide grin, "wanna hop in"

"No I prefer to fight on foot" and as he finished saying this he unleashed a storm of bullets upon the undeads

Soon he was inside the battle

Condor looked over the undead army, then up at the flying dracolich, then at the town bellow him. He was standing on the wall, taking a short break from the war. He was about to jump off when he heard manic laughing, looking down he saw mritha in the turret of her fixed warthog. She obviously was having fun.

"come on you idiot get back down there" his dragon Genisis said stubbornly, "you cant keep breaking on top of this wall!"

Condor nodded, knowing that arguing with his dragon will not go well. He leaped off the wall, wondering why the undead just left him there sitting, alone & un bothered, until it hit him. Literallly
He landed on a large patch of grass filled with black objects hidden among the green.
BOMBS!
Upon impact they exploded, sending debris ,& Condor, flying. Also weakening the wall.
The explosion hadn't killed him, but it left him rattled & winded.

"ouch" he wheezed getting off from the grass to see the undead have surrounded him.
Annoyed, he got up before a sword stopped his progress.
When do they learn, he thought
Clicking his fingers many of the undead exploded in a wave of fire, allowing him to get his sword out & slay the undead around him. Very annoyed he got up, seeing mritha`s warthog drive past. He grabbed on, waved hi to mritha, silver & draketh before jumping off into a crowd of undead.
"Time to win this war" Condor said

Khairos looked at the surrounding battlefield. Unlike the fighters who had travelled to Falconreach, Khairos had reason to be afraid, for you see, he was no fighter. Khairos was an explorer, mapmaker, Chronicler, and mainly in search of adventure. How great of a loss would it be then, to fail to record an invasion by the ShadowScythe's leader himself? Sepulchure.
Or at least, that's what Khairos had heard, and what had brought him to Falconreach. He hadn't seen a more peaceful town in his travels so he decided to get there early and stay to enjoy what little peace it had left. He remembered yesterday like it was...well...yesterday...

*Khairos approaches the inn*
"Greetings traveller, what brings you to Falconreach?" said a boy who looked in his early teens, standing by the inn.
"Well, actually I was coming to-" I WOULD have replied if not for his...well, see for yourself.
"Ah, another adventurer looking for glory?"
"Well no, I-"
"Must be a Pirate in search of gold, we get those a lot."
"Well, actually I'm-"
"I GOT IT! A bounty hunter searching for bandits."

By this point, I began to get annoyed, this fool had no perception of the outside world, as if he had been standing by the inn his entire life.
Naturally, this continued for another hour.

"Look, I just want to walk into the inn and buy a room, ok?"
"Why didn't you just say that? By the way, the inn's pretty empty-"
"I wonder why..."
"And if you were wondering, my name was Ash."
"I wasn't, but thanks, it's been....nice, talking to you."

I proceeded into the inn where there was a woman with long blonde hair attending the customers. She gave me my room and I went up to sleep.

*BOOOM!* The wall of the end nearest me was racked with a horrible noise. Wait, there WAS no wall, it has ripped right off, no burned!
I lept from the ledge, eager to see what was going on. I noticed a Ranger running by and stopped him to find out.
"WHAT'S GOING ON?!?!?" I yelled, I was not used to large scaled wars.
"Sepulchure, he's here!" The Ranger replied, "You were lucky, that FireBall nearly took out the inn! It would've if it hadn't been deflected."

So there it was, I had been within an inch of my life without even knowing it, obviously I'd need to be far more careful.

Outside a number of Skeletons were attempting to breach the walls. I ran to the top of one, eager to get sketches and to record the happenings of the war.
I began to write down the events when-
"What are you doing up here?" A deep voice demanded. Standing in front of me was a Guardian, his armor colored unlike many others I'd seen and a long scar ran from his right eye across the opposite cheek.
"I'm a Chronicler" I replied, "It's important that I record this war! VERY important, and-"
"You're mad! Get to the center of town now, civilians aren't allowed up..blablablabla...."

Or at least, that's all I heard. By this point, I was tired of being interrupted but then I noticed an incoming glow.
"BEHIND YOU!"
"I'm far too experienced to fall for that..."
Only I was serious, a fireball from and undead proceeded to incinerate the Guardian.
I was horrified, in all my travels someone had never died in front of me. The Guardians were now without one of their leaders. In an attempt to help, I picked up his sword and jumped into the battleground. I tried to swing it, but it was too heavy. Just then, I saw a skeleton throw a spear at me, in fact the spear was right in front of my nose!
Suddenly, a burst of light appeared and both the skeleton and the spear were gone.

"What's wrong with you? Can't even lift your own sword?" It was a mage. I decided to follow him, then I could be safe. We both ran and hid in the forest to recover.
"This won't last long, a group of Undead are sure to have followed us." The mage said this almost as if he were distracted.
"What do you recommend? I have no experience fighting I must confess..."
"Well...hm, we need to try and tackle the Necromancer controlling them."
"A necromancer? There's no way we can defeat one alone! We need to-"

But before I could finish my sentence, there before us stood a Necromancer, shrouded in his robes and prepared to kill us both.

End of...this part.

Chapter 2

The Necromancer stood before us, intimidating, at least to me, I had never seen one this close. His robes were a dull brown, and his face shadowed so we could see none of it.
Except for his eyes. His horrible eyes. Whatever this creature was, he was no human, not any more. His eyes contained an eery glow that seemed to follow us and our movements while remaining motionless themselves.

"What should we do?" The mage whispered, I never did learn his name.
"I'm no fighter, I have no idea, all I've done my entire life is....run, yes that's it!"
"RUN? How could that work? He'd have his Undead on us in a second!"

And still the Necromancer remained still.

"We have to be tricky, if we split up and take advantage of a weakness, say...and Undead's...slowness?" It was a foolish idea, but the best I had. From what I'd seen, Undead were not even always slow. Was I thinking of Zombies? The Mage seemed please with the idea.

So we ran.

And the Necromancer did nothing, I was beginning to doubt if this THING was even capable of thought or motion.

Suddenly, a large Skeleton burst from the ground! It grabbed the mage and myself and threw us into a tree. The Necromancer had now turned to face us, I noticed his eyes glowed slightly brighter.

"This is it" I thought "He's going to kill us both and resurrect us for his army!"

but, it didn't...it began to head towards the Ocean behind the Guardian Tower, no...towards Sepulchure's Dracolich. What madness was this? Neither of us were particularly valuable, or were we?

To be continued, coming up:In the castle.
Sorry for how short it is...

Now we've hidden the blade of light
it is time for us to stand and fight
with our shields we make a wall
to ensure our world will not fall
we will all be put to the test
for soon we will finish our holy quest
as boxes of death fall from the sky
''come undead, it's time to die''

Failure Is Not An Option
"We must be on our guard, men! The enemies are beyond AND around us. We must stand ever vigilant!"
These were the words that Guardian Gordon commanded in his patrol. Meanwhile...

Unaware of the current situation, Angelo was sent back to Falconreach after his help in Willowshire. He and some other Guardians came from the northwest when suddenly one of the Guardians remember one thing. "Jumping troglomites, I almost forgot! Today is Friday the 13th!" Everyone suddenly became on alert in their journey back to Falconreach. "I wonder what this day has in store for us." Angelo delved into the thought of what will his next mission. Thus, he gave his men a command.

"Guardians, today, as you know, is Friday the 13th. Whatever this thing is in store for us, we should be ready. We're Guardians, remember? We don't cower from the forces of darkness. Thus, I say we charge!" Angelo lead the cavalry in a heartpounding speed that the soon they are arriving Falconreach West Walls, the undead roaming around it was attracted to the noise the Guardians were making. Once getting out of Surewould, the undead attacked the cavalry. Though only a few number, the Guardians fought back while on horseback, rendering their foes unable to fight. In soon of the clashing of blades were over, one of the Guardians noticed a flying figure in the sky and soon realized...it was the dreaded nightmare to one and all. "Look!"

"No...this can't be..." Angelo looks at the flying dracolich castle, stunned in shock and surprise. Afterwards, he ordered the others. "A'ight guys, three-fourths of this cavalry will guard the walls while the other one-fourth, follow me! Pick your choice of what'll you be volunteering." As soon as their mind was decided, they went onto their battle stations while Angelo pressed on inside the walls to find Kain. Meanwhile on the hands of Gordon, he struggles in every battle with the undead. He blocked every undead swordsman's strike and so did in every spellcaster's attack. In every block comes with a counter that gets harder to execute as the time passes by. The undead's slash was too strong that it was hard for Gordon to do a counterattack. But still, he used most of his strength to push the undead's blade and slashed the warrior of darkness and kicked it afterwards it collapsed. Now kneeling out of strength, he sees the endless hordes of the undead...coming to him. As an undead fire mage shoots a fireball, Angelo, who came just in time, jumps from his horse to the front of Gordon and slashed the fireball to deflect it. As a counterattack, he sent back the favor to the undead mage by conjuring another fireball. Soon, the rest of his companions came in to distract the wave while Angelo talks to Gordon.

"Gordon, where's Kain?"
"Not of that I know of, but I do remember of him, participating in defending the harbor. What is your reason of seeking him, Angelo?"
"I need to ask him something. It's a battle strategy that I need to tell—"
"Rest your mouth, young one. He is too busy at the moment and so will we."
"No, I'm talking about help, Gordon. I'm talking about aid. About connection. About everyone. Besides, you're too weak to defend the walls yet. It's better to—"
"Failure is not an option, Angelo. I will not rest until the last bone head in this blasted city is no more—including Sepulchure."

Gordon stands up with the support of his blade and tries to stand firmly. "I will not rest until this city sleeps in peaceful hopes and dreams. I will not rest until the last drop of blood will not go to waste!" Angelo stares at Gordon, listening to his words. "Sepulchure says he is seeking the Darkness Orb. It had meant it's here. By then, I will not rest until this orb is safe and secure and is out of reach from Sepulchure." Angelo looks down as he thinks of what he'll do next. He grabs a potion and gives it to Gordon. "I hear you, Gordon. But please, take this before you enter the battle field. Afterwards, there's no turning back—we'll have to face forward." Gordon accepts the potion and drinks it. He feels really better and now can stand strong. Angelo closed his eyes and remembered his first day as a Guardian and how he got in.

He opens his eyes once more and readies for battle. "Now is the time, Gordon. I'm at your side!" Gordon stares at Angelo and nodded. "Very well."

Ten, twenty, thirty thousand,
the waves we've defeated are always kept counted.
For if we've nothing at all, we have our names,
so others can tell stories of the beast we have slain.

For every foe downed, ten more take its place,
yet our soldiers fight on, staring death in the face.
Mages their staves, rogues their knives,
soldiers their swords, we've weapons of all kinds.

But our greatest one yet, is not one found easily,
its freindship, family, compassion, and solidarity.
Thats what he deosnt have, and perhaps never will,
so the fearsome, dark Sepulchure, will be bested by our skill.

I gather my men, for a fight to the death,
more than a few, will breathe their last breath.
I see the sun setting, perhaps for the last time,
i send my soldiers to form a defense line.

As our archers fling arrows, our men soon will tire,
but no, we cant fail...Our captain screams, "FIRE!"
I crush an elemental and impale an EnTog,
from a distance, how strange, i see a grey fog...

As im staring, i wonder, "is this magic of some kind",
i am an inch from death, an undead from behind!
Once it is dead the fog has come closer,
i dont believe my eyes, in its center is Sepulchure!

Upon dearest Falconreach, settles the night.
Here it is, the final battle of an age long fight.
The fog is approaching, he is almost here...
COME, COWARD SEPULCHURE! YOUR END IS NEAR!

The Unlucky 13th Sonnet
Shall I compare you to a pile of mud?
Thou are more ugly and more skeletal:
My weapons do smash your ribs with a thud,
And my sword's tip can also reach your skull:
Sometimes I get a 'crit' and I go "woot!"
And often you instantly turn straight into dust;
Sometimes I get a miss and I go "shoot!",
By chance or because the RNG's gone bust;
But thy eternal headache shall not fade
Nor lose possession of any nicks or lumps;
Nor shall Death brag you wander in his shade,
because let's face it you're just a chump:
So long as your skeletal form I can see,
I will end your unlife for DM's and XP.

The last time we heard of DJM, the Forgotten Hero, and his partner, Draco, the Forgotten Dragon, they helped search for Rainbow Bridge shards to aid the Fairy Queen in her search for her missing daughter. But little did DJM know that he was (and still is) being followed by an old enemy: an Evil Light elemental named Celeron, who will stop at nothing to kill DJM after their last encounter. This is the second installment of DJM and Draco's story.


Scene: Falconreach, on 05.13.11, after Sepulchure's words to frighten Falconreach

DJM: Lord of Darkness protect us!
Draco: This is...the long-awaited battle, isn't it? The final battle against Sepulchure?
DJM: I guess so Draco. If only we had more time.
Draco: Why do you say that?
DJM: Because, I had a dream...
Draco: And that dream was?
DJM: The same as it's been for 2 years.
Draco: Listen, DJM, I know Celeron left quite an impression both physically and mentally on you last time we saw him, but he's not here, there's no way he would think you would be in Falconreach. Besides, Warlic cast The Spell on us. I suggest you stop letting paranoia control you, and move on.
DJM: True, maybe your right Draco. It'll take a while, but I'll recover.
Draco: Good, because we certainly do not need you to be distracted, especially at a time like this.
DJM: You're right Draco. Now, let's show Sepulchure that we aren't going to let him take Falconreach! Chaaaaaaarge!!!!!!
Draco: *roar*

Scene: Celeron's hideout

Celeron: And what is it you have to tell me of the world, minion? I heard a lot of noise going on.
Minion: Sepulchure has declared war on Falconreach, sire! Knowing DJM, he'd assist in protecting the town.
Celeron: Yes, yes he would...so Sepulchure has declared war, you say?
Minion: Yes, sire, I'll tell the spies to start making their way to weaken DJM now, so you can finish him off.
Celeron: Oh, but why would we do that now, minion? If you gave that command now, why, Sepulchure's troops would kill the spies.
Minion: So what is your wish, sire?
Celeron: We wait. We wait until the war is over, then, when DJM has been tired out, we strike him, and then, we can head our merry way.
Minion: Smart plan, master, no wonder your our leader.
Celeron: Yes, now leave me, minion!
*The minion leaves the room*
*We zoom in on Celeron's face*
Celeron: Soon, DJM, you will finally be rid of the world! I'll have you begging for the final blow! *maniacal laughter*

End of Day 1 of the 05.13.11 War


Scene: Falconreach, 05.14.11, amidst the fray

Draco: You know, I've always wondered, how is it that you can control any Element, when you serve the Elemental Realm of Darkness?
DJM: Well, it all started when we went to Ravenloss for the first time.
*we flashback to Ravenloss, DJM can be seen walking alone in the Market District*
DJM: You were asleep in that cave we found, but I was awake and getting bored, so I decided to go for a little walk, when I found a strange building.
*DJM walks in front of a building with two things painted on it that he didn't recognize: a red circle that looks like a moon with red eyes and a statue surrounded by 8 small circles (DJM guessed they were Elemental Orbs, since they seem to have symbols for the Elements inside them). The building also had a sign that read: "Enter if you wish to learn about opposing elements," so DJM did*
DJM: When I walked in, I found a strange being that looked like an angel.
DJM: Whoa! Who are you? Why do you have wings? Are you an angel?
???: Relax adventurer, all will be explained soon.
DJM: How soon?
???: Well, right now. First, you should know that I belong to a race called Brilhado, and I belong to a rare sub-race of Brilhado called Goldenwings.
DJM: Whoa, whoa, whoa, Brilhado? I don't devote my life to learning about races, but I'm pretty sure that Brilhado don't exist on Lore.
???: And you would be right. Brilhado don't exist on your version of Lore, but that's unimportant.
DJM: My version of Lore? Are you telling me you're from a different dimension?
???: A different time period of Lore. Are you satisfied with that?
DJM: I guess so. Now, what was it you were saying before I interrupted? You were talking about yourself.
???: Ah yes. Secondly, you may call me Decitera.
DJM: Ok.
Decitera: And lastly, if you came here, you must want to learn about opposing elements.
DJM: Yes, I would.
Decitera: Splendid! Now, judging by your looks, I would say you serve the Elemental Realm of Darkness?
DJM: That would be correct.
Decitera: Good, now what is the opposite of Darkness?
DJM: That's easy: Light.
Decitera: Correct, the answer is Light, which is the Elemental Realm that I will teach you about.
DJM: *in his mind* Great, the more I know about Light, the easier it is to defeat Celeron.
*end flashback*
DJM (in the present): And I kept on going back to that building to learn more, until you and I left Ravenloss.
Draco: Why is it that you never told me this?
DJM: You never asked.
Draco: True, but that only tells me how you can control Light and Dark, what about the others?
DJM: Well, after we left Ravenloss, I got the hang of being able to control the Elements of two Realms, so I begin teaching myself how to control other Elements.
Draco: Oh, I see. Do you think you could teach me how to control more than one element?
DJM: Draco, you already do, remember? If I primalize you with any of the Orbs, you can control that Element?
Draco: Yeah, but what about the ones that we don't have Orbs for?
DJM: Alright, I'll teach you how to control those.
Draco: Good, it may save our lives one day.

*DJM and Draco return to fighting wave after wave of undead and Entropic Earth Elementals*

End of Day 2 of the 05.13.11 War


Scene: Falconreach war camp, 05.15.11

*DJM and Draco are walking to the battlefield*
DJM: Ah! That was a good breakfast, don't you think Draco?
Draco: Sure was. *burp*
DJM: Draco! Mind your manners!
Draco: What? It's not like anyone besides us heard it.
DJM: Whatever, let's just get back to the war! I can't wait for all that EXP
Draco: You know, I never knew what you meant by EXP.
DJM: Sorry, I can't tell you, the fourth wall prevents me from doing so.
Draco: I'll learn one day.

Scene: Falconreach battleground, 05.15.11

*DJM and Draco can be seen fighting hordes of undead*
DJM: Take that, you pile of bones!
*Draco unleashes so much fire, he destroys every undead that was surrounding DJM*
DJM: Thanks Draco! That gave me all the EXP from those guys faster, it's a shame you can do that everytime.
Draco: No problem, DJM.
DJM: Hey Draco, think you can grow to horse size, so I can ride you and use my weapon at the same time?
*Draco does what DJM asked*
Draco: I sure can!
DJM: Awesome! *mounts Draco*

*several hours pass, DJM and Draco can be seen still fighting*
DJM becomes so synchronized with Draco, that whatever Draco does feels like DJM is doing it himself. DJM breaths fire at an Entropic Earth Elemental, while blocking a Skeleton Guardian's slash with the Aurora Key. He then stabs an enTog and bites off a Bone Fire's head, while making his way to the head of a giant Skeleton Guardian to melt it's helmet, then heads down to it's thigh, slices it, then flies away to watch the giant fall and break into pieces, never to get up again.

End of Day 3 of the 05.13.11 War


Scene: Falconreach warzone, 05.16.11

*DJM and Draco are fighting more waves of Sepulchure's minions, when Draco spots something in the sky*
Draco: DJM! Look, there's Sepulchure's fortress in the sky!
DJM: *turns to see, after slicing a Bone Fire's head in half* Haha! We must have fought harder than he expected if he's coming down himself!
Draco: But think about it: Sepulchure's been waiting for a long time to strike Falconreach, he must have amassed a huge army in that time, doesn't this seem too easy?
DJM: Well Draco, you are right once more. Maybe these minions are just the weakest in the army, the new guys. He might be coming with his elite right now.
Draco: I hope not, I want what you first said to be true.
DJM: We can't always get what we want, unfortunantely.


Scene: Celeron's hideout, 05.16.11

*Celeron is in a huge room, practicing his sword and magic skills on many training dummies*
*a minion bursts through the doors*
Minion: Master! Master, I come with news of Falconreach!
Celeron: Ah, yes, DJM's "hometown." What is going on?
Minion: Sepulchure is making his way to the town in his flying fortress!
Celeron: So, the heros of Falconreach seem to actually be putting up a fight. Thank you minion. Assemble the spies for a meeting.
Minion: Yes, master!
*the minion heads out the room*
Celeron: Get ready, DJM, for the fight of your life! *slashes a training dummy with the power of so much light, causing it to catch on fire*

End of Day 4 of the 05.13.11 War


Scene: Falconreach, 05.18.11

spoiler:

DJM: Sepulchure, you monster! You will pay for this! You'll pay dearly!
Draco: I can't believe the Guardian Tower is actually gone. The Guardians in it...
DJM: Will be avenged! I swear on my life to make sure Sepulchure pays!
Draco: And I will assist you.
DJM: Thank you, Draco. With your Elemental Fire, claws, and teeth, with the assisstance of my blade, Sepulchure won't know what hit him!
Draco: Yeah! *does a dragon equivalent of a fist pump*


Scene: Celeron's hideout

*a minion comes through the doorway to the room where Celeron is*
Celeron: More news of Falconreach, minion?
Minion: Yes, master! Sepulchure's fortress has fallen from the sky, and about less than half of Sepulchure's army remains!
Celeron: *laughs* So now, Sepulchure doesn't have a spot to hide in, huh? Have the "heroes" of Falconreach fought him yet?
Minion: No, sir, he seems to still have a place to hide, but I still have more!
Celeron: Than spit it out, minion!
Minion: When Sepulchure's fortress finally hit the ground, it destroyed Falconreach's Guardian Tower!
Celeron: *long evil laugh* I never thought I would say this, but thank you, Sepulchure! This is great news! Falconreach took a hard blow, but so did Sepulchure! This is just like Frostval! Hahahahahahaha! Thank you, minion, now, tell the spies to start getting ready for battle. We're finally going to strike at DJM and Draco again...only this time, they will die!


End of Day 6 of the 05.13.11 War

spoiler:

Scene: Falconreach, after the battle with Sepulchure, 05.22.11

Draco: I knew it, I knew it in the back of my mind, but I didn't want to believe it...Sepulchure's too powerful.
DJM: He killed Celestia, Draco. She changed my life by having that box with her, making me curious as to what was in it, which led to fighting Drakath, then I found out the egg containing you wasn't in the box, so I went and got your egg...along with a couple of others, so I had to go to Warlic to summon the Doomkitten, then I fought it and finally got your egg. Celestia and Twilly helped me in protecting your egg by placing it in that cave. Then, after you had hatched, she helped you and I bond, remember?
Draco: Yes, I remember that. We never delivered that package to the Red Dragon.
DJM: *sad chuckle* Yeah, we never did.
Draco: You know DJM, maybe Celestia's still alive, we should go check on her!
DJM: No, Draco, if she is, then she's probably wounded, which is something she can handle, she's a strong Lady, right now, we have to focus on defeating the rest of Sepulchure's army before it's too late.
Draco: Alright, DJM. Let's show them that we're a force to be reckoned with!
*DJM and Draco charge into the battlefield, slashing away at Sepulchure's minions*


Scene: Celeron's hideout, a hallway leading to an exit, 05.22.11

*Celeron and his spies are marching to Falconreach*
Celeron: Alright men, we've been waiting for this moment for two years, do you all remember the plan?
Spies: Yes, sir! We make sure DJM can't run anywhere, then you come and face him and Draco for the last time!
Celeron: Good, now remember if any of you injure him, you die, got it?!
Spies: Yes, sir!

*Celeron and his spies arrive at the Falconreach battlefield*

Celeron: What?! Sepulchure's minions still unlive? But my minion said they were all gone! Oh, no matter, we'll just have to battle our way to DJM.

*Celeron's spies arrive at DJM's location*
*four of Celeron's spies each shoot one flaming arrow, revealing that DJM was in the middle of a square formed by oil*
DJM: Oh, no! Draco, let's fly out of here!
*one of Celeron's spies binds Draco in a magical net, not letting him move*
Draco: DJM! Help!
DJM: I'm com-*DJM gets punched in the face by Celeron, knocking him onto the ground*
Celeron: Why hello, old friend.
*DJM gets up*
DJM: Celeron?! But, how did-
Celeron: I find you? *gestures to his spies* I have many eyes and ears. Now, prepare for the final battle, just you and me.
*Celeron strikes first, blocked by DJM, DJM then quickly strikes, but is countered by Celeron, he then lands a successful hit on DJM's side, breaking the armor in that area*
DJM: Aghhh!! *grabs his side*
*Celeron then strikes again, this time on the opposite side, doing the same as the other hit, causing DJM to fall to the ground*
Celeron: You should have never tried to stop me when we last met. *raises his sword for the final hit, then strikes*
Draco: DJM!!!!
*Celeron signals to the spy holding Draco captive*
*The spy makes the net binding Draco tighten*
Celeron: Finally! This day marks the end of DJM and his dragon! Hahahahahaha! Come men, let us go back to the hideout to plan what we do next!


Scene: Death's Realm, 05.22.11

*DJM and Draco can be seen lying on the ground*
DJM: *gets up* Uhhh, where am I? Wait...this place looks familiar...oh, no! No, there's no way I can be dead!
Draco: What are you...oh.
DJM: Draco, we have to get out of here, and fast, Falconreach needs us!
Draco: We've busted someone out before, if we can do that, we can bust ourselves out!

*DJM and Draco then get up and start looking for a way out*



End of Day 9 of the 05.13.11 War


Scene: Death's Realm, 05.23.11

*DJM and Draco have come to an exit out of Death's Realm*
Draco: Yes! We found it!
DJM: Now let's hurry, Death might come and stop us.
*Death appears*
Death: DJM! Draco! Why is it that I always have trouble with you heroes, especially the newer ones?
DJM: Well, we're heroes, we have a lot to deal with: defending your town, saving your town, defending other towns, saving other-
Death: Ok! I get it, but there are others who can do that for you, I don't see why you guys can't let them do it instead.
DJM: It's a hero thing, you wouldn't understand.
Death: I'm still not letting you pass.
DJM: Death, if you let us go back this time, I promise to have two other beings take our place for now, just give us time.
Death: Hmm...You guys have slain many monsters...Tell you what, if you guys slay 400 monsters before next week, I'll let you live, if not, you get to come back to visit...forever.
DJM: (at the same time as Draco) Deal.
Draco: (at the same time as DJM) Deal.
*DJM and Draco pass through the exit*

Scene: Falconreach, the spot where Celeron and his spies sent DJM and Draco to Death's Realm
Draco: Ah! I'm glad to be alive! Although, I feel a little pain from being squeezed so hard.
DJM: And I still ache from being wounded by Celeron's blade. This reminds me, Celeron thinks we're dead, so he's not chasing us anymore, but to keep it that way, we can't be seen...at all.
Draco: Great! Maybe we can ask Warlic for a-
DJM: No, there's a chance of being seen by someone on the way to a portal.
Draco: True, but maybe you could change your clothing, maybe to a cloak, that way, if Celeron or his spies see you, they won't recognize you.
DJM: Yeah, that a good idea, but what about you? No offense, but your kinda obvious, especially if we have to face a Titan.
Draco: Hmm, maybe we can just...let another Dragonlord and his dragon handle it.
DJM: I guess, but I'll hate it, guess I'll just have to get used to it
Draco: Yeah, but hey, we'll get used to it

The sky darkens, the town prepares for the end
The heroes and warriors are ready to defend.
The cheerful town suddenly hides away
For it was that fearful day...

"05.13.11"
"Come, gather up all my brethren."
"All the orbs have come into play."
"And the darkness orb shall be mine today."
"Those heroes can't stand to my army of DOOM!"
"Its the end of Falconreach, coming all too soon!"

"Come on guys, get ready to attack!"
"I'll get my fish ready to slap!"
"Mritha, do you have your wep'?"
"Yeah, I got it, have you seen Eric?"
"I think hes talking with Lady. G."
"Hey guys, look in the sky, I think I see-"

And so did start the thing we waited for,
The Friday 13th DOOM WAR!
Every Hero, far and wide,
Came together to answer the warcall in pride.
Warmongers and Newbies all alike,
Together with one thing to fight.
Sepulchure cannot win this fight,
Or it will end Falconreach, overnight.

 A sword strikes through an entog's head, as its guts and entrails encircle the field. An entropic earth soldier raises its fists but it falls down as it crumbles. An undead guardian turns, but is met with blinding dragon fire, incinerating it. The dragon raises it's head slowly over the field. It's merely a teenager, but at 60 feet at the shoulder, it gives a more menacing demeanor. It's rider, a SoulWeaver with a Tropy helm fixed on his head, giving him the same look as the monster he is about to strike down. His demonic eyes fix on the Entropic soldier. He puts his hand out, and slowly, a green spirit-like orb phases from the monster. It screams in a twisted way, but the SoulWeaver could care less. He rips it out, and holds it in his hand. The soldier jumps up to him, but he crushed the soul, and the monster falls apart. A Guardian runs up to the dragon. "Kalanyx, sir, it seems as if a giant Undead Guardian has breeched the main gate." The dragons flies off, master on back, as it swoops instantly to the main gate. The undead guardian's blade shimmers with blood, the bodies of Guardians sacttered. The dragons creeps forward, but its master stops it calmly."Don't fret Sethomar. I got this one." The dragon nods. "It's all yours Kalanyx." The SoulWeaver runs up to the giant skelton and kicks an arm off, sending it flying. SWOOSH goes the undead guardian's sword as it strikes the air where Kalanyx once stood. Kalaynyx maintains a gravity field in the air, keeping him more suspended. "Banish." The undead guardian looks up, but is incinerated by the magical attack. Kalanyx lands on his feet. "Lets head back to war Sethomar." The dragon roars as the two head back to the front line.

Forumites in my story: Myself, Boomboomdoom, DarthTwiggums, Shaiyal, tember wolf, Midnights death, Sgtbobbycar AND U$o klub
NPC'S In my story: Sepulchure, Drakath, Ash, Several Guardian characters And Artix

Wednesday 11th May 2011, Approximately 14:55.. Outside Falconreach Guardian Tower

I yawned, leaning against the newly "Upgraded" Falconreach Guardian tower, Shaiyal and Tember wolf were also there

Me: So what's the plan for today then?
Shaiyal: What we do every night of course Shaiyal Grins
Tember: You mean?
Shaiyal: Yup..

Wednesday 11th May 2011, Approximately 16:00.. At Serenity's Inn
Oddball, Shaiyal and Tember wolf were sat around a table at Serenity's inn with glasses of Ale playing cards, It all seemed quiet, But then..
Shaiyal: Haha! I win
Me: WHAT? C'mon one more round
Shaiyal: NNnnnnnnnnnope
Tember: Come on Shaiyal, Give us one more go
Shaiyal: You guys lost fair and square Shaiyal holds his hand out you gotta keep your end of the bargain
Me&Tember: Yeah yeah We both hand Shaiyal 10k each
Me: Hey Shadow?
Shaiyal: It's Shaiyal!
Me:.. Shaiyal then, What're you going to do with 20k then?
Tember: Yeah go on Shaiyal, Tell us Tember looks intrigued
Shaiyal.. Well If you must know He gathers us in a huddle I'm thinking of taking a vacation somewhere
Me: DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN
Shaiyal: Was that really necessary? He Chuckles
Me: Yes, Yes it was Cheesy Grin
Tember: Sigh You two are such kids sometimes, And are you gonna tell the others?
Me&Shaiyal: Us? Kids? Naaaah
Shaiyal: And yeah, I'll tell them Unless all this drinking gives me memory loss He winked slightly and raised his hand Serenity! lets get another round over here!
The three of them laughed the night away, Unaware of the upcoming fight this Friday 13th








Thursday 12th May 2011, Approximately 11:00.. At Serenity's Inn
I awoke back at the Inn, I got up slowly off the bed and decided to get dressed
Me: I wonder if the others are awake yet? I open the window and breathe in the air It's been peaceful 'round these parts lately, But the atmosphere feels tense, I've got a bad feeling
???: So It's not just me then?
I turned, Expecting a bandit or a mercenary armed with a knife aiming for my throat, But i was relieved
Me: Sigh Midnight you scared me a little there
Midnights death: Heh sorry about that Midnight smiled slightly
Me: Where's Darth and the others?
Midnight: They're all outside waiting for you slowcoach
Me: Hey, It's not my fault I overslept by a few minutes
Midnight: Minutes? We've been waiting since 9!
Me: Well.. What's the time now?
Midnight: Just gone past 11
Me: Oops
I chuckled as midnight walked out of my room sighing, All together there was 8 of us Klub, SgtBobby, Midnight, Tember, Shaiyal, Darth, Boom and myself, None of us actually lived in falconreach, but we ended up sleeping there frequently due to circumstances, Like being to drunk to walk home and passing out in the inn

Thursday 12th May 2011 Approximately 11:15 At Serenity's Inn
I walked down the stairs to see 7 armored fighters stood before me, Not happy

Me: Sorry I'm a little late guys
Darth: Little? YOU'RE TWO HOURS LATE
Me: Geez I'll make it up to you later
All but me: You better
Me: Yeah, Yeah.. So what's on todays agenda?
Shaiyal: Well Quite a few undead have been spotted in the areas nearby recently
Tember: Hey Shaiyal.. Have you told the others about.. That?
SgtBobby: Huh? About what
Me: So you haven't?
Shaiyal: I guess all the drinking DID make me forget then huh?
Nervous laughter came from the group
Boom: So what is it?
Shaiyal: Well.. I'm thinking of taking a vacation somewhere.
Klub: A Vacation? So close to Friday the 13th? Are You Insane?!
Me: You should know the answer to that Wink
Shaiyal: Hey Hey! this is serious business
Me: Apologies.. carry on
Shaiyal Cleared his throat
Shaiyal: Anyway, I'm not sure were to go, but all I do know is that I'll be gone by tomorrow morning
Me: Wait.. That soon?
Shaiyal: Yeah and I dunno when I'll be back either
Boom: It's gonna be quiet here without you
Me: Agreed, You're the person who starts up most of the conversations
Shaiyal: I'll only be gone a week If that!
Shaiyal gives everyone a reassuring smile that seems to lift everyones spirits slightly
Shaiyal: Well, Lets go Re-kill some undead suckers
All: YEAH!







Thursday 12th May 2011 Approximately 13:37 (Best.Time.Ever).. Somewhere In Oaklore Forest

Myself, Klub and Shaiyal finished off the few undead in the first area we were assigned to and began to walk to the next overrun place
Me: Well.. that was easier than expected
Shaiyal: Agreed, almost TOO easy
Klub: IT'S A TRAP
Me:.. Did you seriously just say that?
Klub: Yes. Yes i did
Shaiyal Groans
Shaiyal: Ugh, Don't do that again, It hurts my soul
Klub raises his hands up as if to say "I give up"
Klub: Okay okay you guys win
The three were heading down a small section of oaklore forest, The bandit camp was Close, But also far, The road was silent apart from the small bursts of Cricket chirping now and again
I Yawned
Shaiyal: Oddball How could you be Tired already, You've only been up about two and half hours!
Me: Hey, I'm the one doing most of the work here
Klub: He's got a point
Shaiyal: Yeah, but still..
Me: I see where you're coming from though my friend, And.
I went to finish my sentence, But we were ambushed by undead, They outnumbered us 20 to one
Shaiyal: Dammit! How many do you count Oddball
Me: Urmm... Around 60
Klub: Heh Easy pickings Klub readied his Pristine Blinding Light of Destiny Even without Doomknight This should be Simple!

Sepulchure: Good, we attack tomorrow


Friday 13th May 2011 Approximately 05:12.. Oddball's House
I awoke, not knowing why I was awake this early in the morning, But my bad feeling from yesterday still hadn't gone, In fact it had gotten stronger, I opened the curtains in my room and looked out towards the slowly approaching dawn I breathed in the countryside air, Something wasn't right, I sniffed, There was a slight burning smell in the otherwise Lush air, I looked over towards falconreach
Me: Is That. SMOKE?, I have to go see what's going on!
I turned to head out of my door, But i was took by surprise when an Axe was heading on a collision course, With My Skull!, Narrowly I dodged and grabbed the nearest thing to battle with
Me: A Lamp? What will this do Besides WARM them to death!, Still it's better then nothing
I swung smashing the lightbulb inside the lamp across the attackers' head, Knocking it clean off
Me:His head.. Came off?
I stared at the now headless skeleton running around the room, Crashing into everything
Me: HEY Hold still so i can break the rest of ya!
I kick the skeletons Ribcage, Snapping it's upper torso from it's legs
Me: BOOYEAH that's how it's done!
???: No time to get cocky Oddball, There's work to be done
Me:Hey I know that voice
A Figure steps into my room
Me: Artix! What are you doin' here?
Artix: No time to explain, Come quickly Falconreach is in trouble!
Me: I can kinda see that, What with the smoke and whatnot
Artix: This is no time to joke around Oddball!
Me: Alright alright
I yawned as I started putting my armour on
Me: Hey Artix.. can you look away? It's kinda disturbing with you stood there staring at me like that
Artix turns around
Artix: Fine but hurry up



Friday 13th May 2011.. Approximately 07:13.. Osprey Cove
Meanwhile In Osprey Cove
Shaiyal:Stretch My Official first day on Vacation, And what better way to spend it then
Ash: Fishing of Course!
Shaiyal: ASH? What are you doing here?
Ash: I'll explain later but first you're gonna have to come with me
Shaiyal: Nuh uh.. No way Buddy I EARNED this vacation!
Ash: But..
Shaiyal: No Buts!
Ash: FALCONREACH IS IN DANGER!
Shaiyal turned to look at Ash at an alarming rate, in an instant Shaiyal runs towards Ash and starts shaking him violently
Shaiyal: WHAT DO YOU MEAN FALCONREACH IS IN DANGER!?
Ash: Calm down!
Shaiyal: HOW CAN I BE CALM
Shaiyal Rushes towards falconreach

Friday 13th May 2011 Approximately 08:12
Myself and Artix were running through a section of Oaklore forest, Close to Falconreach
Artix: Okay Oddball, We're nearly there
Me: Thank God.. I'm starting to get cramp in my foot
Artix: I've already said, This is no time for jokes!
Me: Yeah Yeah, Are you sure we're going the right away?
Artix: Of course I am!
Me: I somehow doubt that..
Artix sighed and glared at me, I returned his glare with a cheeky grin and ran ahead of him

Friday 13th May 2011 Approximately 08:25
Meanwhile, Close to where Oddball and Artix were
Ash: Shaiyal slow down!
Shaiyal: How can I be slow when Falconreach in danger!?
Ash: Well you could at least let me keep up with you Ash pouts
Shaiyal: Fine, I'll slow down a bit
???: I heard voices coming from that direction
Shaiyal: Hey.. that kinda sounded like..
At The same time
Me: SHADOW?
Shaiyal: ODDBALL?
Me: Well.. fancy meeting you here
Shaiyal: We've got no time for talking friend, Falconreach is in trouble!
Me: Already knew that I chuckled
Shaiyal: This is NO laughing matter!
Me: You're right.. Sigh I'm sorry, So I gesture in the direction of Falconreach Shall we?
Shaiyal: I think we shall

Saturday 14th May 2011 Approximately 07:32
Oddball and Shaiyal had been fighting of the undead without any rest, Both of them looked tired but showed no signs of giving and letting the undead destroy Falconreach, The two were stood back to back, surrounded, with little chance of survival in the state they were in
Shaiyal: Think you can handle this many?
Me: Well, Might be tough if one more shows up
Shaiyal: Hm, Then that'll be the one I take care of
Me: What. You're fighting too?
Myself and Shaiyal jump at the undead we were facing, Hacking and slashing until there was nothing left




It's not like I'm walking alone into the valley of the shadow of death
Stand beside one another, 'cause it ain't over yet
I'd be willing to bet that if we don't back down
You and I will be the ones that are holding the Crown in the end

When it's over, we can say, "Well done"
But not yet, 'cause it's only begun
So, pick up, and follow me, we're the only ones
To fight this thing, until we've won

We drive on and don't look back
It doesn't mean we can't learn from our past
All the things that we mighta done wrong
We could've been doing this all along

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

And we'll be carrying on, until the day it doesn't matter anymore
Step aside, you forgot what this is for
We fight to live, we live to fight
And tonight, you'll hear my battle cry

We live our lives on the frontlines
We're not afraid of the fast times
These days have opened up my eyes
And now, I see where the threat lies

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

(We live our lives on the frontlines)

(We're not afraid of the fast times)

(We live our lives on the frontlines)

(We're not afraid)

(AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH)

(We've got to lead the way)

(AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)

(We've got to lead the way)

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Everybody with your fists raised high
Stand aside on the frontline!
Everybody with your fists raised high
Lemme hear your battle cry

Everybody, with your fists raised high
Let me hear your battle cry tonight
Stand beside, or step aside
We're on the frontline

Alright, I decided to post my rally speech here because the war threads keep going by so quickly that I can't really keep up. Enjoy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Here we stand, Surrounded by a sea of evil.
Our enemy is fearce, ruthless, and has no intent on showing us mercy.
He has shown us his intent and did so with the sound of bloodlust in his voice.
But will we let him roll over us, Tread on our broken bodies like they were nothing more than the dirt of the ground?
Will we allow him to laugh at us as he destroys everything we know and love?
Nay!
Nay I say!
We will not simply fade into oblivion as he so hopes!
We shall make him pay, in blood and sorrow, for every inch his army gains!
We shall crush his skeletons, disperse the essence of his elementals, and make those Entropic minions wish that they could truly parish!
And When it is all over with, do you know what the history books shall say!?
That on this spot, at this moment, a few good men stood against an ocean of Evil and corruption and sent it back into the unholy abyss from which it spawned!
Now Go forth my brothers, my sisters, my friends and burn a path through these endless waves of abominations so that we may strike a mortal blow to the heart of this atrocious army.

*The winged elf gasped for air for a second. He had been fighting for a long while, isolated since his comrades had been forced to retreat to Falconreach walls. The only defense he had left were the few, and fewer by the second, undead he was able to turn from Sepulchure's seemingly limitless army using his own necromancy.

What was the point? Each skeleton he was able to control or slay was quickly replaced; at first by other two enemies, but that number kept growing as the strength of the assault was rising on a nefarius crescendo. It all looked hopeless for Red Byron, the desperate fight of each and every defender to hold the thin line against the darkness looked like it was going to crumble any second now.

Anyway, he was sure he wasn't going to live to see the end. Alone, desperate, tired and surrounded, he was an island of fight outside the city walls, full of enemies. It was a matter of minutes before the lasts threads of his power waned and Death finally caught him. The temptation of finally giving in to despair was about to swallow the lone necromancer when...

Arrows, from the walls, falling around him. Magic fire raining over the enemies trying to clean a way for him to reunite with fellow defenders. He had been spotted and help was on the way. A sparkle of courage and energy reappeared in his eyes and the elf laughed. He turned to the walls and yelled 'Thanks, my friends! But is not time to go back in town for me! I still have a lot of cleaning to do out here, you see!' And laughed again.

To Hell with numbers and "what's the point"! Falconreach still had something he almost forgot. Hope. They could've run away from Sepulchure instead of making this seemingly futile last stand against him, but they won't have soon anyplace to run to. This place and time was as good as any other.

He was going to fight the horde of undead until they drove them back to their master.... or die trying.

Stand strong
We fight on for you
these powerful senses of righteous and eternal potential within us
The force of our bonds,
the world of darkness will know it soon.
this power will certainly surprise you

The above was my first attempt at a song/poem!
(yes it is a work in progress and needs much editing and rewording before it is perfect but I thought I would share it anyway...

Dirge of the Defenders

Oh, lament, lament, for they art gone!
Stolen from us by that dreaded foe, Sepulchure!
Cunning and scheming, he twisted his loss into a two-edged sword,
And cut down the Guardians with his fortress
In a single fell swoop.
Let us grieve their loss, as they hath
Defended us oh so well from every threat!
Nevermore shalt we hath dear Myra
By our side, nor listen in to their
Playful banter or sombre duties!
For they art stolen from us,
Swallowed by their black doom!
We must never forget
That they hath died defending us,
And we must pay them homage
For their ultimate sacrifice.
Never give in, despite this loss!
Give them their honor, knowing that we
Shan’t give up and die!
Nay, I say to thee,
Rise up and bring honor to their names,
So that they mayst forever be written down
In the annals of history!
…
Never forget the stolen defenders…


Tumultuous Times are Ahead...


Sepulchure had returned with his latest bauble to his new lair of which I shall not tell the location of, quite amused by the hero's futile attempts to hold on to the Orbs. Enduras thinks he is so well prepared for the coming storm. And yet I can take the Orbs that he has fought hard for at leisure. Surely it is too cruel of me to bait him so.

"Sepulchure...", the Necrotic Blade of Doom croaked out, interrupting the Doom Lord's thoughts. "Thou doth underestimate the boy..."

How is it you can hear my thoughts from all the way on Terra?!

"My time doth approach nearer, Sepulchure. My influence grows stronger each day. The bond weakens. Soon, I shalt posses no need for the Orbs thou doth collect."

"NO!" Sepulchure cried out, standing upright from his throne. "I have slaved for far too long to get those for you, and now you say you may not even need them?!"

"Indeed, that is so." the unknown voice said through the Blade.

"All of my work was pointless?!"

"All for naught? No. No... Thou doth spread the seeds of disloyalty and chaos among Lore. Thou hath made your forces of mine glorious Empire a presence upon the world without even making thyself known to the public. Continue to collect the 'baubles' as thou didst call them, for they will prove that thou shalt lead the ShadowScythe to victory with nothing to stand in thy way."

"What of Enduras? You seem to place too much faith in him. He has been a thorn in my side for some time now."

"He is of no importance to thee."

"B-but-", Sepulchure began.

"SILENCE!!!" the voice commanded. Then with a calmer, more reserved tone, the Blade said: "He is only of importance to me, not thee. He shalt be instrumental to mine plans. Now go. The Wind Orb is ripe for the taking. Steal it, and further assert thine dominance."

"Yes, Master..."

Question Mark?

Sleeping?

I stand, facing the oncoming threat. Darkness whistles its way up my spine. I look onward for a moment, and I feel the ice-cold amulet pulsate and constrict about my neck. I stroke it, and will it to calm, as something moist writhes about the corner of my mouth. I smile softly, and my back empties out in a fantastic explosion of blood and metal. Gleaming in the moonlight are a pair of clockwork wings, with flecks of my blood adding a sort of macabre beauty to them. Upon my head sits an ancient helmet, supposedly a relic of my ancient ancestors, but I know that it is much, much more. As is swing my scythe forward, feeling it pulsate and writhe in my hands, watching the red lightning race up and down my fingertips, slightly singing them as it does so, I can hear it whispering in some eldritch tounge into my ears, compelling me to do horrible things. I put down my scythe, and contemplate the reanimate corpse in front of me. I think about its hopes and dreams, it thoughts and beliefs, its family. I swing my scythe at the nearest warrior, who was until now attempting to hold off the invasion. "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!" His head falls onto the ground, and I lift it onto my shoulders, as if I am carrying a small child. I have truly gone mad. I screamed, and I felt the cacophany of voices rise in a malevolent creschendo, assaulting my eardrums with their eldritch whispers. I swung my scythe wildly, not caring who I struck down. Is I ran, trailing madness in my wake, I felt a firm hand upon my shoulder. The commander of the defense forces stared into my eyes. -----------, this is the town that you were swron to protect! You took an oath! Think of the citizens, their families! BEHOLD WHAT YOU HAVE WROUGHT! He gestured out onto the battlefield, where I observed the corpses of my friends, who had stood by me since the beginning. for a moment, I faltered, who was I to take them away from their families, to pry them away from their homes? Then I remembered. I remembered how they had done the same to the skeletons who stood before them. They thought that they were doing these creatures a great honor by destroying them, that they would finally be free or some such rubbish. They heard stories of the underworld, brought back by some insolent dragon girl, and assumed them to be true. I had been there. That wasn't death. That was only a sort of cosmic "waiting area." You lingered there until you were sure that you had nowhere else to go. You saw your oppertunities being eaten up by the sands of time until, eventually, not even your familiy cared any more, and you became a distant memory, lost but not forgotten. Well, mostly forgotten. When you were done, and you could suffer no more, you were taken to the abyss. The abyss has no space, no time, no reality. Once you are there, the electrical impulses that make up your "spirit" mean nothing. They lack all context. There could be an entire civilization there, entoumbed for ever within a never ending void. THAT is death. I looked at the commander. I stared directly into his eyes, and I saw only ignorence and unfeeling. Even if he knew, he couldn't care less. I won't go into the details of what happened. When the others foudn him, I had rendered him physically what he was mentally. His heart lay next to him on the floor. He hadn't really needed it. Finally, I sat crumpled in the corner of the tower, singing softly to my self, trying to figure out what it was that I had done.

"I don't want you to be alone down there to be alone down there to be alone... I don't want you to be alone down there to be alone down there to be alone... I don't want you to be alone down there to be alone down there to be alone...I don't want you to be alone down there to be alone down there to be alone... I don't want you to be alone down there to be alone down there to be alone... I don't want you to be alone down there to be alone down there to be alone... I don't want you to be alone down there to be alone down there to be alone..."

The guardians came upon me later, lying huddled there, blood trickling from the corner of my mouth, my hands singed where I had tried to pry the helmet off. they carried me off and laid me gently down, afraid of what I might do if they attempted to kill me in my sleep. I opened my eyes and looked about. I saw the room within the inn where I had rested the night before. At first I was sceptical, but everything was the same. Had it been a dream? If it wasn't, what was the difference anyway? It's not like we can tell which one is "real." Each are equally real as they occur. Pleased with myself, I returned to sleep. Later, they found my body, singed and broken, in the corner of the tower, dripping with blood. They said that I had wandered off, dazed, and fallen asleep there after meeting the commander. I never woke up.
