Eastern plaguelands.
No pov
The purging of the plaguelands was going well. The Scourges grasp on the remains of Lordearon, was thining.
The attack on Tyrs Hand had been a great succes. Chocia and Owentheus had personally led the attack.
However they were a little suprised to see that the remaining scarlet crusaders had been turned into the undead.
It did not change the scales of battle for them, they were even weaker in their rotting bodies.
After the attack, despite their night together, they still bickered a little as to who got the most kills...Again.
The Argent crusade went to reclaim Corin's Crossing afterwards.
There were not many undead lurking in the small town. They did, however, find and captured a few Necromancers.
After a bit of interrogation and some Holy Light, they learned that the scourges main force was stationed in the ruined city of Stratholme.
A 2 day journey through the land and the zombie infested plaguewoods, they reached Plaguewood Tower.
The argent outpost had been assualted by wave after wave of undead and they were somehow still holding.
The arrival and help of the crusaders was greatly appreciated.
Plaguewood tower.
Owen pov.
We had arrived at the tower just as the undead were attacking. With the aid of our company, the undead were quickly pushed back.
Oh yeah i got more kills than Choc. I totally did...
Anyway, i was now meeting the commander to discuss how we should attack Stratholme. Choc was outside organizing the troops.
I walked into the tower, my red golden armor reflecting the light of the torches.
The commander was a male dwarf with very long brown beard, mostly bald head and was wearing thick grey steel armor.
He aparantly had not seen me come in. He was looking over a map on the table in front of him.
"Commander" i adressed him.
He looked up from the map. "Ahh ye must be Owentheus, correct" he asked.
"Thats correct, now let us dicuss how we will take Stratholme" i said calmly.
The commander frowned. "Its not gonna be that easy, lad. The city is surrouded by a magical shield the noone can get through. The brigde is protected by an undead camp with 2 ziggaruts. We could try and take the camp with your forces, but there is no garante that we would be able to succed"
Just then, i heard someone else enter the tower. I turned around to see Choc walking towards us.
She was wearing red steel armor with a longsword on her back. Her pale blue hair was wraped together in ponytail.
"Hey, what are you guys doing" she asked as she walked up to the table.
"Hey Choc, we were just talking about how we were going to take Stratholme" i answered.
"And what have you come up with" she asked curious.
"Well unfortunetly the city is protected by a powerfull magic shield" i said.
"Do we have any idea how it works" she asked.
Hmm, i didnt think about that.
"As far as we know, it is powered by an black crystal deep inside the city." said the commander.
"Then they must have a way to disable the shield to get in and out" i said.
"Exactly, if we can get inside the city, find the crystal and destroy it, then our forces should we able to invade the city" Choc said.
"Thats a great idea Choc. The only problem is that i dont think we have enough troops the take the city" i said looking down.
"Oh..."
I heard the commander chuckle. "Hehehe, dont worry about that, lads. I asked the argent crusade for reinforcements because of the constant scourge attacks. A couple of days later, they said that the Horde had sent one of their strongest champions to aid us. And he should be arriving any minute now"
"What was the name of the champion" i asked.
Before the commander could answer, a loud bestial roar was heard outside.
Choc and i ran outside and looked up.
A giant armored rylak was descending towards the tower.
Then it hit me. I know only one person who had a giant rylak as his pet.
The rylak landed on the ground and its rider jumped off the saddle.
No pov
Choc and Owen stood and watched their friend, Saldrok the Beastmaster, walk towards them, wearing his Rylakstalker (Mythic version) armor.
His Shreddirons shredder gun on his back and two razor sharp axes on his belt.
"Throm'ka Owen and Choc, funny meeting you two here" he said with his deep orcish voice.
"i could say the same to you" said Owen.
"Now, where is my prey" Saldrok said grinning.
"Stratholme" the two blood elves said.
"Stratholme, eh? Not a problem, i'll be back in an hour" he said turning around.
"Where are you going" asked Choc confused.
"Stratholme. To kill everyone and everything in there" he said starting to walk.
"But the city is protected by a magic shield" said Owen.
Saldrok stopped in his tracks. "Damnit"
He turned around to face them again. "im asuming you two have a plan"
"We were talking about it when you showed up" Choc said.
"Good, then continue, im gonna go feed Kragosh. Tell me when you have a plan" Saldrok said walking away, His rylak right behind him.
The elves glances at eachother for a moment.
"Do you think we have a chance when he's here" Owen asked.
"Hell Yeah We Do"
Some hours later
No pov
Owen and Chocs company had set up camp in the shadow of the tower.
It was late at night.
Owen was preparng to go sleep. He had taken off his armor and shirt.
He laid down in bed and pulled the covers over him.
He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Owen stood inside Stratholme alone. There was not a single undead. Only the silence of the burning buildings.
Suddenly he heard movement behind him.
He turned around and was met by Choc, but something was wrong with her.
Her face showed nothing but sorrow and sadness. She was crying.
"Choc whats wrong" he asked with concern.
She hung her head and cried harder.
"Choc, please tell me, why are you crying" he asked walking towards her.
He was about to embrace her in a hug, but she suddenly disapeared in shadows.
He looked around trying to find her, but all he could hear was her cries.
"Choc" he yelled, but no answer.
Suddenly the cries turned to laughter. But it didnt sound like her laughter.
Her laugh was small, sweet and soothing.
This was filled with evil and madness.
"Choc, where are you" he desperatly yelled.
"Right behind you" he heard.
He quickly spun around, but was not met by Choc.
In her stead, stood a pale white banshee. Her clothes ripped, her hair rised up in spikes.
The banshee aproached Owen with a wicked grin on her ethereal face.
Owen looked closer and to his horror, the banshee had Chocs face.
With a wicked laugh it lunged for him.
Owen sat up in bed breathing heavily. He put a hand on his fore head and through his spikey blonde hair.
"What...What a strange nightmare" he thought
He heard someone coming.
He looked at the entrance to see Choc in her normal clothes, standing there.
"Oh hey Choc, whats up" he asked.
She smiled at him. "I couldnt sleep, so i thought" she slowly moves her hands behind her back and removed her shirt "I could have some fun with you" she said seductivly.
Owen stared at her perfect body before him with eyes wide. "Would be a dream coming true" he said smiling widely.
She giggled, snuggled close to him and let their lips meet.
Owen returned the kiss with passion as his hands reached behind her back and pulled her closer to him.
Choc deepened the kiss as her hand traveled down his muscular chest and below his belt.
"I really want to do it with you" she whispered into his ear.
"Same to you" he said.
Owen was about to take of his pants.
"oohhm..."
Both of them looked at the entrance.
Saldrok stood there with wide eyes that looked like they were about to pop out of his head.
He slowly turned around and walked away.
"I didnt see anything"
