Disclaimer: I do not own Overlord or its characters. This is just a story for fun.
Oberon Greenhaze the Elven Hero and Elf King returned from his long quest to Evernight Forest. The quest had been long and treacherous. Oberon had been part of a group that defeated the Second Overlord. Overlord Handric. He had traveled with six other heroes to complete the quest. There was the hafling Melvin Underbelly, the Paladin Sir William the black, the dwarf Goldo Golderson, the thief Jewel, the warrior Kahn, the knight Gallant and the Wizard Nicholas Nobel.
Each of them showed great skills and qualities. Melvin despite his small size was agile and brave. Sir William was both skilled and honorable. Goldo was strong and a great strategist. Jewel was clever and fast. Kahn was strong and powerful. Gallant was strong and honorable. Nicholas was wise and skillful with magic. All of them were truly great travel companions and friends. Though the he was good friends with all the heroes, he would consider Gallant his best and most trusted friend. He did not know why but they had some how connected as equals. They had watched each others backs and defended one another in times of crises.
The heroes had fought hard alongside each other. Defeating bandits, monsters, and the Overlord and his army of Minions. Oberon's mind flashed back to that fateful battle where he and the other heroes stormed the lair of the Dark Tower. They confronted the Overlord at the top of the tower and a huge fight broke out. Both sides gave everything they had.
It was Gallant who brought the fight to an end. Gallant ran forward and grabbed the Overlord in a death grip and jumping off the tower. They hit the ground hard after hitting a few spikes sticking out of the tower. Both Gallant and the Overlord laid several feet away from one another. Neither was moving. They both looked dead. Sir William declared Gallant was dead. Saying their was no way no one could survive a fall from that hight. Oberon could not believe this he pleaded with his fellow heroes to help Gallant.
"We must help him! He fought beside us. There may still be a chance." He said.
But the other heroes agreed with Sir William and eventually talked Oberon into helping them loot the castle. Nichols went down to the bodies to examine them to make sure the Overlord was truly dead. He came back saying both the Overlord and Gallant were both dead. That news brought a great sadness to Oberon. He became tired after they left the Dark Tower.
Nichols gathered up the heroes saying they all did a good job and that they should each pursue their own personal goals and desires. Nichols claimed that no one would deny the heroes their desires. Oberon was a bit confused by this. Something was different about Nichols. But Oberon was so tired all he wanted to do was sleep. Now he was finally home in Evernight Forest. Several elves greeted him and congratulated him. He thanked them and walked to the center of the forest. There stood a great tree. Oberon sat down took off his shirt, leaned against the tree, closed his eyes and went to sleep. He would look into Nichols Strange behavior as soon as he woke up.
