A song of ice and fire Prologue
He could not rise nor see, he felt as though he was dead in the ground, a sudden kickstart brought him up and he finally found the strength to rise. He rose immediately found his sword and looked around, they were all dead he searched amongst the dead to find the source of the whispers, and then he saw HIM the lich king on his frozen throne "Hello Garrett I want you to report back to wherever you came from and tell them THE LICH KING HAS AWAKENED" he said" YOU WILL DIE FOR THIS ARTHAS!" He swung his sword as hard as he could around his right side Arthas quickly sidestepped the wild blow and elbowed Garrett in the side. "FOOL you WILL do as I say" Garrett grimaced and nodded. He went outside to look for his horse. Then he saw a fallen knight's charger and started towards it. He looked inside the pack next to it, it contained 5 days worth of left over food and water which was more than enough he re-saddled the charger and started riding it down the blood filled trail. the next day he found one of their markers telling him he was going the right way well at least im not going the wrong way just follow the blood-filled trail hmph he thought as he rode he thought that he heard someone calling his name
"Garrett where are you!" he stopped his horse, dismounted and tied him up then Garrett walked around to see if he could find the person who had been calling his name he came upon a small drop down into a stream, then Garrett heard a crack behind him, he turned to find a knife at his back, he hit the hand of the assailant and the knife went flying into the river and then Garrett grabbed his attacker by the throat with his forearms "Sasha?" he asked, "who else?" she asked he released her and looked around he said " i can see you Cichter!"Cichter stepped out from behind a great oak tree, Cichter was a tall grey haired old man that wore black chainmail armor with boiled leather over it, he said" how do you do that?" he asked "well being what i am i'm quite good at spotting thi-" he stopped there was a cracking of leaves behind him, he turned to find a forsaken behind him, he unsheathed his two wickedly curved swords and cut the forsaken, leaving an x on it's throat.20 more forsaken jumped out from behind the trees, The rest of the Dragonborn came running to Garrett's call. Eclar got there first and cut a forsaken's legs off by a vicious low cross,Daniel stabbed a Forsaken through the chest with his longsword. Sasha retreated to higher ground and let fly 3 arrows at undead threw a dagger at the last Forsaken's chest.a moment later Eclar asked "Garrett,were those Forsaken" "yes" "then he's back" "yes". They trekked back to the camp to find a team of rangers waiting "ah, Garrett good to see you"one of them said,"ashafarah friend, how long".
"a few hours ,we heard trouble ahead are you alright" "yes" Garrett spoke for them, Cichter went hunting and brought back a deer and two rabbits they ate and drank until nightfall, they set up bedrolls and went to sleep, Garrett however never got any,he layed awake for hours then got out of his roll to find Sasha not in her roll either, but sitting, Basking her beautiful pale skin in the moonlight, he walked over to her and sat beside her"what are we going to do Garrett,hm?" she asked him," well,once we get out of icecrown we could get a ship back to azeroth and we could rally the king's forces and-"she interrupted" do you really think that they will go for it, i believe the king would go for it, but the rest-" "shh,the rest will be dealt with in due time for now you should get some rest" he kissed her on the cheek and turned to go to his roll
" Garrett, my roll is quite cold, may i come to yours"she said with a smile,"why, of course, my lady" she tip-toed to his roll and nestled in beside him. next morning it dawned clear and cold with a thick blanket of fog Garrett rose first of all of them and went out to get breakfast, gods,i have a headache he thought after what felt like a mountain of climbing he finally found a rabbit sitting in a clearing he notched an arrow and pulled back the string one chance,take the shot he thought, but there were more rabbits coming out of the forest until there was a whole community. he focused on one rabbit and loosed the arrow,he hit his mark with a sickening crunch the rest scattered at the instant he walked over and picked the dead rabbit up by the ears and put him in the sack he had brought with him, he came upon a stream a few minutes later and decided to catch a he sat there on the hard rocks looking for a fish. he spotted a large trout swimming in the darkness of a redwood tree towering overhead notched an arrow and pulled it close to his cheek,and let fly, the arrow ripped into the fish's flesh staining the top of the water red, Garrett waded into the water and collected his kill and put another dead piece of meat into his sack, he hiked back through the trail he had used to get there and came back to the camp to find that most of them were still sleeping snoring softly.
Eclar and Cichter were both awake and tending to the fire he stepped up the hill and gave a Playful shake Eclar "i brought breakfast if you're hungry" "bloody ell!,took you long enough break it out and we'll re-light the fire" He dumped the contents of the bag he brought with him onto the ground. the rest woke at noon and ate their portion,they set out a few minutes later and after hours of trekking they finally saw a city, it's walls a towering giant,they passed under the gate and payed for their horses to be fed and watered. Garrett looked for a ship or a zeppelin that they could get a ride on back to westeros he finally found a zeppelin worth buying a ride for and took the deal,He walked back to the city stables and took their horses "Eclar! everyone! let's go!" they gathered at the zeppelin and waited for the crew to take it up after liftoff the sky was the limit no more for Garrett, he carefully stepped around the deck to an observation post, Cichter walked up beside him"so are we going to fight the lich king in westeros?" "yes"Garrett replied,"why"cichter asked."because azeroth and kalimdor are lost to us" "what, how?" "the lich king will take them and desecrate them both,we would be better off fighting in westeros" "so... westeros?" "westeros"Garrett an hour of watching the ground pass by Garrett walked down to the passenger's cabin and fell back on to the cot next to the door"so,you finally decided to find me"he heard a voice say,"who was that,speak!"he said nervously,"you know who it is"Arthas!
Across the sea...
Mance listend to the waves crash against the ice like a horde of soldiers crashing upon the enemy spear wall,the sound somehow soothed him as if a salve were pressed to his head lightly by a mother.the wolf attacked his men killing one and turning to fight off the next,it's fur was pure white like the snow beneath his feet or the clouds above his head Mance shook himself from the vision and stood up,he walked back to the encampment to prepare for his journey.
