The orc shaman sat next to the fire, staring into the flames, trying to see into the depths of the fire, to call to the spirits, that they might send him a sign, anything that would help his clan in their darkest hour. The scourge was marching on the hall that they were in, with a Lich at their head, and the Doomsmith clan was slowly running low on resources.
The fire suddenly flared up and the ground around it cracked, the orc leapt back with a shout of surprise and watched as broken pieces of earth flew into the fire, which was slowly taking on a shape, a human shape. The flames died and left behind a human, but with icy blue eyes that glowed. The man was clad in the armor of a Death knight and the shaman grabbed his hammer but the Death Knight waved his finger in a reproaching manner an made a 'tsking' sound.
"Now is that any way to greet someone here to help you?" the man said with a small smile.
"Why would you help me, Death knight?" The shaman asked, keeping a hand on his hammer, just in case.
"I tire of the Lich King and his ways, and I think I'd like to take over the world myself, see what it's like, and the elements sent me here, so I suppose that you orcs are to be my army to do so."
"The Doomsmith clan will never help an undead, and an undead human at that."
"tsk, and here I was hoping that you would be kind enough to cooperate with me without any fuss, I guess I'll have to take over your soul."
The death knight lifted his hand and walked forward, placing on the orc's forehead, who began to shout in agony as the death knight entered his mind, his body vanishing as well, he decided to keep the Shaman's mind intact and just take control over his body, so that he could delve into it as he pleased and extract information when he needed it.
'you shall perish for this death knight!' the orc's mind said to him.
'pish posh, maybe I'll let you remain through my ruling, wouldn't you like to be warchieftan of the world?'
The shaman shut up at that as the death knight picked up the fallen hammer and used his powers to transform it into a runed weapon, he could get used to using this weapon, though it would be unwieldy at first. He then turned and exited the room, to tell the rest of the Doomsmith clan the news, and to challenge the current chieftain for control of the clan.
