Great Lycan Wars
Ch. 1 Plans Unfold
In the town of Battleon war was about, buildings burning, falling, adventurers dieing, there seemed to be no hope. The Lycans had turned on us and attacked when we were weakest after our battle with the Vampires. Up high in the guardian tower, safe from the battle raging below stood 5 people. Artix Krieger the paladin, Robina The Hood the ranger, Elizabeth and her apprentice Zerix the ninjas, and Warlic the wizard.
"Where's Galanoth, he was supposed to be here!" Artix shouted angrily.
Robina looked out the window, "Artix, we need to think about the task at hand, don't worry about Galanoth, he can take care of himself. In fact I can see him right now kill a few of those Werepyres." She was correct just below the tower at the door stood Galanoth in close combat with two Werepyres. He manages to slice one in two with his Dragonblade and was struggling with the other. "He's buying us time to plan." She then closed the curtains.
"So guys… What the heck are we going to do?" asked Artix. "The Lycans have over run the town, their archers are hiding in the hills picking off adventurers and guardians, they have many more fighters than we do and the Werepyres are helping them! This is an impossible battle!" He sat down in a chair putting his Golden Axe on his lap and sighed, "It's hopeless!"
"No it is not!" shouted Elizabeth who was not as sure as she sounded. "I believe if we can kill the Alpha Werewolf it will weaken their morale, perhaps even cause them to retreat, my apprentice and I will take that job, our Ninja Death Strike should get him weak enough for Artix to deliver the finishing blow with Holy Might. And Robina and Warlic could give support from the tower, Robina with arrows and Warlic with magic."
"If Robina is going to be shooting at werewolves she'll need a Blaze Bow. Here," Artix said as he produced a Blaze Bow from out of nowhere and handed to Robina.
"Thanks!" She replied and went to the window to test her new weapon out on a few Lycans.
"If we are going to win this war we'd better get this done and quickly!" Elizabeth said and she exited the room followed by her apprentice, Zerix, and Artix.
Minutes later in front of the guardian tower, just as light magic and blaze arrows began leaping from the top, the door splintered and broke apart. Artix dove through the splintering wood that was the door and tackled the Werepyre just as it was about to sink it's long fangs into Galanoth's now exposed neck as a vampire would. He was now on top of the dazed wolf-bat creature holding a golden glowing knife and plunged it into the beast's heart. He rose up and went to help up a mangled Galanoth.
"Thanks Artix, I think you should take care of the undead from now on, I'll stay with slaying dragons, even they aren't that blood thirsty. (Horrid Pun Intended)" He said before losing consciousness, Artix dragged him into the guardian tower and two more figures jumped out after him. They were garbed in dark cloth that covered their entire body except for their eyes, one yellow and the other blue. The two ninja's were Elizabeth and her apprentice, Zerix. Zerix held a Power Katana blade facing downward and Elisabeth held a two Fatal Razor Fans in each hand.
A Lycan Warrior, brandishing a Lycan Slasher charged at Zerix. Without even looking Zerix flung two fire throwing knives into the wolfman's eyes and threw out the back of his it's head, it fell over without even having a chance to howl in pain. Elizabeth looked at him and nodded appraisingly, "You've learned well my apprentice." Zerix simple nodded and they ran off onto their mission.
Zerix: I know, it's a bit short, but don't yell at me, it's only the first chapter, think of it as a prologue. But yes you can yell at me for being horrible at making horrible puns.
Next chapter: 'The Alpha Falls'
No, this isn't a short two-chapter story; there is a surprise ending.
