Gothik looked at the ghouls with a smile on his face. 'Good work, Nerubaz!' Nerubaz looked at Gothik with a smirk on his face. 'What is the next phase my lord?' Gothik turned around towards the beach. 'Only the Scarlet forces at New Avalon and Light's Point challenge us… The time to attack the Scarlet fleet at Light's Point has come!' Nerubaz raised his fists and cheered, finally some real action. Out of nowhere came Prince Valanar. 'So here you are Nerubaz… You have met the Harvester I see..' Valanar looked at Gothik and then back to Nerubaz. 'You have served us well, Nerubaz. Few of your brethren have survived our initial attack. You remain as one of the strongest..' Gothik ignored Valanar completely, 'The time is ripe! A thousand soldiers stand between us and their ships… Prove yourself here and the Dark Lord may see your true potential' Gothik walked away. It seemed there was a bit of a struggle between Valanar and Gothik. Valanar looked a bit agitated and vanished.
For weeks Nerubaz did nothing else then sabotage the Scarlet fleet as much as he could. Burn down provisions, kill a few guards and spread disease among their ranks. He had been nearly invisible and the scarlet fleet didn't know what was happening. And that was all preparations for this master plan. Had been aboard of the Sea Breeze for a while now. Here he had seen that the armies were preparing to invade the destroyed land and take it back. Nerubaz had waited for this moment, when all the armies would be standing on the beach. He looked through a little hole in the wood and saw the many cannons and soldiers waiting to be slaughtered. He grinned, today he would do more than any death knight had done. He quickly ran across the room and took the stairs up. Nobody stood in his way everyone was on the beach. He came onto the deck and he looked around to scout for deckhands but the ship was really empty. He walked towards a row of shiny grey cannons waiting to be fired to their makers. Nerubaz smiled one last time before aiming at the scarlet fleet unaware of this danger. A moment after the first shot was fired it remained silent but then an enormous blast and a whole company of soldiers flew in the air screaming. The remaining soldiers began to panic as they didn't saw the enemy. Nerubaz fired a second shot and a third… fourth… Then one of the scared commanders saw him on the ship. 'Scourge on the Breeze! Attack!'. Nerubaz laughed as he pulled the trigger again. The shouting commander flew in the air with his comrades and fell into a cold death. This really was a feast. Nerubaz kept firing the cannon. Hundreds of men died cause of the blasts. The Scarlet fleet was defeated by one individual. Only a few Scarlet soldiers remained. Nerubaz stood atop the deck laughing: 'Go now! You are defeated! Tell your superiors that I Nerubaz will come for them! In the name of the Lich King this land shall fall!' The men quickly ran into the hills and disappeared from sight. Nerubaz jumped from the ship onto the bloody beach. The red armors combined with the blood made it a pretty sight for Nerubaz. He walked through the devastation and smiled. The Lich King would honor him for this. He walked past the mine where had raised those ghoals only thinking about his great victory. Suddenly he stopped staring at the lands before him. Havenshire was gone, the dead had claimed it. There were fires and corpses everywhere. Ghoals feasting on the remains and necromancers raising those that could be raised. The Scourge had won the battle of Havenshire. Nerubaz walked onto the hill into Death's Breach. Out of a tent came a infuriated Valanar. He saw Nerubaz and walked towards him. 'Where were you! Insolent foul, you have missed the entire attack! Now thanks to you the Harvester gets all credit for this victory!' Valanar madly raised his fist in anger. Nerubaz had never seen him lose his temper. 'My lord, we may have missed this battle but what about Light's Point?' Valanar looked slightly less infuriated. 'Are you stupid? Light's Point has to many soldiers! We cannot just march in and claim it for the Scourge.. It will take weeks of planning to even make a breach into it!' Valanar had expected more from his champion. Nerubaz smiled, nobody knew of his victory yet. 'Those plans will not be necessary my lord…' Valanar eyes widened. 'Take a few necromancers and we shall go to Light's Point..' Valanar laughed. 'You are dumber than I thought but we shall see, I shall have you head if this ends in failure, Nerubaz!' Valanar pointed to a group of necromancers 'Follow me!' the necromancers slowly walked behind Valanar and Nerubaz while they walked towards the beach. This time Valanar would see the potential of his champion.
'The entire Scarlet fleet whipped out?! I will receive a recommendation for this!' Valanar shouted as he saw the beach. 'Nerubaz, you are my true champion! Go now to the Highlord in Archerus! Let him know that we are ready for New Avalon!' Nerubaz looked at Valanar and then back towards the beach, he could almost smell the blood. 'And what are you going to do now My liege?' Valanar looked at Nerubaz smiling, 'I shall make sure that this fleet will have his use…' Nerubaz saw the necromancers already raising the corpses. Then he slowly turned towards Death's Breach and began walking.
'The entire Scarlet Fleet? Highlord Mograine looked at Nerubaz with his eyes wide open. 'Such power Nerubaz.. I have not seen such a display of dominion in years… since my father wielded… The Highlord turned around with his back towards Nerubaz. 'Its not…important.' Nerubaz coughed in a attempt to get Morgraine's attention back. Ah yes, your recommendation lest I forget…' The Highlord walked towards a balcony overlooking the burning massacre of Havenshire. 'It is the will of the Lich King that drives us onwards, Nerubaz. None or more aware of this then us Death Knights. Our very existence is intrinsically tied to his very consciousness. Surely you have heard him speak to you- invading your thoughts..' Nerubaz walked to the balcony and stood at the side of the Highlord. 'Yes, I have heard his call…' Morgraine looked at Nerubaz, 'Can you hear him now?' Darion closed his eyes and nodded, 'Yes, My lord. It will be done…' He then opened his eyes and looked at Nerubaz, ' You are to go to the Crypt of Remembrance, the Lich King commands it!' Nerubaz ran away from the balcony towards the destroyed Havenshire and a new task.
