Cassidy walked out into the forest looking at her map. Hmm... Where are you little Death Knight, where did you go? She thought. She had lose her mount a few weeks ago in a Warsong raid, so she had to take this journey on foot. She sighed, this was going to take forever. She had planned a route to Booty Bay, take a boat to Rachet, then figuer it out from there. A howl roared behind her and she instantly shodowed herself, unseen from the world. Then a laugh also came from behind her.
" I know you're there, Cassidy!" A rough voice called. Cassidy sighed and dropped the spell. "Grimmorr, why are you following me? You're not part of the Avengeing Dawn, so how did you know I was leaving?" Grimmorr grinned at her, "Easy, I watch, and I wait. What are you doing anyway?" Hooves clopped behind them. "Wait up! I swear to the Darkness Grimmorr, you have the running ablilty of a wolf!" Grimmorr looked back at Riggi, glaring at him.
"What?" Riggi questined when he caught up, "I thought it was funny." The hooved man grinned. Cassidy sighed. "What we doing, Lass?" Grimmorr asked her. She showed them the bounty poster. Both of them paled and showed fear in their icy cold eyes. "You guys know him? I know you guys weren't in the same rank as him-" Grimmorr cut her off. "We know him, Riggi was his roommate and I was his friend. He isn't a bad man, he hated what he was doing, well..." Grimmorr voice faded.
"Well? And you know him? His name?" Grimmorr looked down, as did Riggi. She sighed, "Do you know where he is?" They both shook their heads. "Last we hear from him was that he was in Orgrimmar, but that was months ago." Cassidy cursed. She had no mount, no lead, nothing! "I did hear something about a Horde raid group heading to Booty Bay from Undercity, and they said they had a Death Knight decked out in blue! It might be him!" Riggi said. She sighed. "Most Death Knights are in blue! Just look at you guys!" Grimmorr shook his head. "No, we are not, the Champion's armor is pure blue, we have gold steaks in ours. It could be him." Grimmorr nodded.
"I'm sorry guys, but you can't come before you get your hopes up. I was hoping to borrow one of your mounts?" She said sheepishly. Grimmorr nodded and summoned a dark horse. "There you go, good luck, Lass, you'll need it."She smiled at the nickname, when they first meet, she told him that her name was Cass but he heard Lass, and the name stuck. They both bowed out of habit as she leave them on the dark horse. She looked at the road from Undercity to Booty Bay. Her plan was it find this raid group, find the Death Knight and bring him back to the king and she'll be done, pretty straight-foward.
She sat down to the newly made fire, the soft cackling comforted her. She sighed at looked up to the stars. Cassidy had just made it to the thick jungle of Straglethorn. She was just a bit off the path that the raid group should be taking, there was only this one road at the moment. She had only packed a few things, an extra set of gear, some sharping stones, a few pecies of jerky, and two waterskins.
She sighed, the horse was already asleep. She curled put against it and tried to sleep, but her mind was not going to let her. The noises of the jungle keep her awake. Her mind wondered, how would she caputer him? She didn't have any rope, she left all her traps at home, not thinking about it. She growled at herself, how could she had been so dumb?
A rusale of the leaves and Cassidy grabbed her daggers and jumps up, ready for a fight. A voice said something in Orcish and a huge green Orc walked into the clearing followed by a Blood Elf Death Knight. She shadowed herself as they got closer. The Orc raised his nose, sniffed and nodded to the blonde Death Knight. He huffed and looked around the fire. He kneeled by the fire, his eyes looking around it.
Cassidy eyes darted around the fire, trying to find was the Blood Elf was looking for. The Elf placed his two of his fingers into the earth, speaking something in Orcish. The orc shruged. The Blonde looked around, his voice in a low growl, the lauched himself right at Cassidy. His arms when around her, and they both fell to the ground. Cassidy swung her daggers around wildly, biting into the other Elf's armor but not cutting him in any way.
Damn, he has some good stuff! She thought. He snarled at her, grabbing his sword and placed it on her throat. She swallowed hard, this is where she was going to die. The Elf's eyes when wide and jumped up. Cassidy stayed down. "Wh-" He stopped her. "I only kill when someone can defend themselves."
He grabbed his sword properly. Cassidy stared at him, he was enchating to say the least. His golden hair flowed gently in the wind, his eyes were icy like every other Death Knight, but his were different. She didn't know how, but they were. His dark blue armor glowed in the moonlight. Wait... She thought, then it clicked, he was the Champion! She allowed a small grin to play at her lips. This was easier that she thought.
She grabbed her daggers and shadowed herself. The Champion rolled his eyes. "Your fault here, Night Elf, is that your steps are too heavy, I can see where your boots make dents in the grass." He watched where her feet stepped to prove his point. She growled softly and leaped for him. He held onto her as they both fell to the ground again. She unshadowed herself and the Champion grabbed her shoulders and pulled her under him. He grinned darkly. She growled at him and pushed one of her daggers into the joint of his plate armor. He snarled in pain, and she dug her other one in his joint. He grabbed her hand and ripped it off him. His blood spilled freely onto Cassidy. She grimiced. He growled and grabbed his sword and placed it on her neck.
