Chapter One - The Hunt Begins
Tyre, a white Ghostpaw Runner, was running through the red mountains of Stonetalon peak. Next to him was Lupious, a Night Elf Hunter, both of them were running down the rocky terrain silently. All of a sudden they both stopped and Lupious motioned for Tyre to hide in the bushes. Lupious and Tyre then faded into the bushes as though they had become invisible.
The reasons for why they stopped and disappeared were walking down the path from the direction Lupious was heading. They were two orcs, scouts from The Barrens heading for the small retreat in the mountains. They weren't too focused because there was no chance an alliance fighter would be in Stonetalon peaks at this time. The Horde was mounting an attack on Astranaar and all their warriors would be defending the city. Little did they know Lupious knew this and was trying to catch them off guard.
As the two orcs walked about 100 yards from Lupious he motioned for to walk across the path quickly. As she flashed across the path, the two orcs stopped and looked at each other.
"Was that a wolf?" the first one said. When they turned their heads back Tyre was gone back into the bushes.
"It couldn't have been a wolf, there are no wolves here. Only those blasted spiders." the second one replied.
"I don't know, it looked like a wolf," the first one said and shook his head, "perhaps I'm just getting tired. Come on let's go" They continued walking down the path and past Lupious. As they walked about 25 yards past Lupious the sound of a trap triggering could be heard and then a crack.
The floor beneath the two orcs had frozen solid and the two orcs had been frozen in place. As they both grabbed for their weapons Tyre jumped from the bushes and knocked the first orc over biting into his arm.
Out of the bushes Lupious was hiding in came an arrow laced with a magical green glow. A Serpent Sting, magical arrows hunters could use that sent a poison throughout its victim. The arrow landed on the second orcs left leg and he cringed in pain as the poison quickly took effect. Lupious then pulled another arrow from his quiver and it began to glow bright blue. Arcane shot, a magical arrow laced with a burst of magical energy that would damage the enemy when it hit. Lupious aimed the shot for the second orc's chest and it hit head on. Lupious was not one to miss.
The Orc cringed and fell to his knees in pain. Lupious then shouldered his bow and ran for the orc as he pulled two Kris from his belt. The red glow they radiated, due to a beast slaying enchantment, was frightening to anyone not wielding them.
Tyre was still working on the first orc who had managed to throw Tyre to the side and get back on his feet. He was now swinging his one handed mace at Tyre and had hit Tyre a few times. Tyre was protected by a natural armor granted by Lupious' ability to train his pet. The magical protection made it so that Tyre had a few wounds, but nothing close to lethal. Tyre on the other hand was making quick work of the orcs leather armor. Tryre's claws and teeth were quickly tearing through them.
As Lupious was running towards the second orc, a powerful howl could be heard as Tyre let out a howl of rage to frighten the orcs. Lupious met with the kneeling orc just as he lunged back and rolled to his feet. The second orc grabbed for his sword as Lupious swung forward at the orc. Their blades met and it seems as though the orc was stronger, but the orc forgot something, Lupious had two blades. As the orc focused on the clash between blades Lupious' second weapon found its way into the orcs off-hand, and his sword fell to the ground.
Already injured from the two arrows, the new wound cause the orc to lose his balance and fall to the ground. Lupious kicked away the orcs sword and slammed his leather boots on the orcs chest. As the orc went to grab Lupious with his main hand, Lupious dug his Kris into it and the ground, pinning the orc. He then thrust the second Kris into the orcs head, killing him.
After Tyre let off her howl she was caught off guard and the first orcs mace slammed into her back. Tyre jumped back in pain, but quickly lunged back at the orc. Tyre would not stop fighting until the orc was dead, she was dead, or Lupious called off the attack. The orc swung his mace towards Tyre but before he could hit an arrow with a bright white shimmer pierced the back of the orcs Leather helmet and through his head. Aimed shot, a powerful arrow that is precise, but slow to fire since the hunter has to aim perfectly. The orc fell to the ground instantly and his mace made a loud 'clank' as it hit the ground. When Tyre landed, she landed on the orcs dead body, claws dug deep into its body and blood dripping from her back.
