Author's Note: As this is a fanfic and not a story I plan to publish professionally, some of the text is verbatim from the warcraft games, just some dialogue from main characters but only 2-3 instances so far and not looking to have much more, this is an original story after all. Please read and review, this is my first entry and I look forward to the feedback, thank you.
Chapter 1
I opened my eyes, bone chilling air filling my lungs. I looked down at my hands, pale and cold. I smelled the acrid scent of decay all around me; I looked at the place I was in, a thin veil of frost covering my surroundings. I looked up and I saw him, I didn't know who he was but what I felt in his presence was a mixture of every feeling I could think to have all at once. Strongest of all was the sense of absolute power, he exuded it like an aura, so powerful it was almost palpable. I didn't feel like things could get any darker, any colder but then he spoke, his words falling around me like ice from a tree's limbs.
"All that I am: anger, cruelty, vengeance- I bestow upon you, my chosen knight. I have given you immortality so that you may herald in a new dark age for the scourge." He spoke this to me but it felt more like it was coming from me, deep within my core I felt his words.
The scourge, this seemed almost familiar to me but from a distant pass I couldn t connect with. Where you tread, doom will follow you, death knight. I heard his voice whispering in my head, it was all around me loud and soft all at once. I felt a power rise within me at his words, nothing like I could remember feeling before. His words had imbued me with the strength of a thousand men and I knew I would lay my life down in service of him.
