They reeked of rot as they closed in.
As Anguar fought the abomination off, the Nerubian Webspinner prepared a web wrap. Anguar barely got off his Hand of Protection. The geists were all frenzied, clawing at him, though he was protected.
The ground shook.
The paladin looked around. Even the geists paused. He turned and saw a Plague giant. The paladin looked up, and viewed the giant's rotted, monstrous foot hurtling down towards him. He yelled- and woke.
"You must be quiet, honey," Kirga whispered," or you'll wake the kid,"
"I know, I'm sorry, Kirga." Anguar said quietly.
"What happened in that dream, Anguar?" Kirga asked.
"Nothing, my princess, nothing." Anguar responded.

She overheard that Aiden along with her husband as well as Daniel Soortan, the priest, and Woodsie Leafsong, the druid, would venture North to Northrend, and attempt to rid the land of Scourge. However, Aiden would be going on a mission for a secret agency and would not be back for a year and six months. She had confronted Anguar about this, and he said that no matter what she did, he would aid in the quest, an enormous undertaking. The party, accompanied by the red dragon Axtroz, would go to Northrend, and purge it. She insisted that if it must be so, she would go with them...
