"These antics are beginning to bore me. Reveal your answers, Human!" "Why should I submit to your wishes, Demon? You're the cause of all this!" "I may be the cause of this, but I'm the only one that can fulfill your-" "Ah! But, I'm the only one who keeps you tethered to this plane of existence!" "Touché'..." "Yeah, I thought so." "You only delay the inevitable." "Is that not the point of living?" "Once again, Touché'..."
"Heeeeey! Helllloooooo...? Hey, Listen! ....He won't wake up." said a voice from the darkness. "Undead have no reason to sleep, ergo, I'm not sleeping." I said to the voice, opening my "Eyes". "Gha! Whoa! That's creepy!" said the voice. It was the woman on the first horse. The Dragon Keeper. "Creepy. That's new one. Why are we so strange to you?" I said, sitting up. "Well, first off, you're a skeleton. Well, almost, anyways. Second, your voice is spookily hollow. Almost gravely. Third, between you and me….you smell of death." She said, leaning forwards, to whisper the last point. "Well, pardon me for dying and being raised from the dead against my will." I retorted. "Leave him alone Reya. That's not nice. You forget that I'm the same. Well, other than the Deathly smell." said a voice from the shadows. It was the undead mage. "Well, I'm just telling the truth! He does smell of the tomb…but I may have gone too far with the other points." She said, hanging her head in shame. "Meh. Whatever. It's not my current form gives much, so it might as well take some things." I said, getting to my feet.
"So. What's your name, Mr. Dead?" the one called Reya said, stroking the head of the dragon in her lap. It made the sound of a cat purring, but almost like a growl. "My...name?" I said, remembering that I remembered nothing. "Yeah, is it....Leeroy? Jed? Steve? Valhalla?" she babbled on. "You can call me...Howl." I said, pacing. Pacing helped calm me. "Wow. Howl...that's...different..." she remarked. "Be nice Reya. He remembers nothing. I'm guessing that was written on something in the things buried with him." The mage said. "However, we should also pay him the proper respect. After all, he DID cheat Death of his prize." She continued. "Yeah, Death and I aren't exactly on speaking terms at the moment…" I said, finishing my pacing. "Well. I think I should get going. I have an Airship to catch. See you….sometime." I finished, walking away from the two. Wow. They are waaay crazy. Two polar opposites. One Crazy, zany, and a few armour pieces of a full tier set.
"Wait. Let us pay for damages and other expenses." the mage said behind me. "Yeah we can pay you in gol-"the dragon keeper said, stopping suddenly. "Hm? Reya, what's wrong? As she was saying, we can pay you in gold for the damages. Right Reya?" she said, turning to Reya. 'W-W-Well….not…exactly…." she stammered, blushing and turning away from us. I was confused. "R-Reya..? What do you mean "Not exactly"? Is here something you've neglected to tell us, Reya?" Tsuki said bony hands on her bony hips. "W-W-Well…about the Gold…I was walking around the War Quarter of Undercity, when I saw an Orc, selling meats. It was all freshly cooked and stuff, and it smelled sooo good..." she remised. "Did you waste all the Gold on food again, Reya?" Tsuki said, tapping her foot. I started to back away slowly. "No! I wouldn't do that!….Again…But Azurez smelled the meats and flew and the vendor, eating his entire stock….The vendor was mean, and made me pay for all of it…" Reya sniffed, with a burp of approval from the Dragon who was lying down, looking very content by the fire. "That the last time I put you in charge of our money, Reya…" Tsuki said, shaking her head. "Well, you said that last time, after I ate all that food in Thunder Bluff…" Reya said, crossing her arms. "Yeah, well, this time I REALLY mean it!" she snapped back, stamping her foot. "But what about the time…" Reya continued. "Gha! Whatever! You aren't holding the money anymore!" Tsuki finished. By this time I had back a far enough distance away, so I turned on heel, and broke into a run. "Oh! He's getting away! After him!" Reya shouted, pointing to me. (I didn't hear this.) "….Why do we need to chase him…?" Tsuki questioned, as I ran further and further away. "Because, I don't like to owe people a thing, that's why!" Reya said, mounting her steed. "Well, what about all the Gold you owe m-"Tsuki asked. "No time for that! After Hiiiim!" Reya said, going top speed. "*sigh* Wait up…" Tsuki said, mounting her steed, and riding after her. "He's heading towards the tower!" Reya said, calling for her dragon to intercept.
I was almost to the tower. "*huffpuffhuffpuff* Almost…there…almost…away from…those crazy people…and that blasted…dragon!" I wheezed. I was out of shape. Rotting in a tomb for awhile will do that to a person. Suddenly, a roar behind me made me turn. It was that damned dragon, right on my heels, snapping at them and breathing fire at my back. Worse still, those two crazies were heading for me, top speed. "Craaaap! Leave me alone! Aaah!" I yelled, booking it up the stairs of the airship tower. "Howl! Where'd you been?! The Ship's about to leave for Durota-"he said, suddenly stopping. "Whoa! Howl, what did you do, to get a dragon and those two following you?!" Doom yelled to me, as I ran up the stairs. "Long story! No time to explain! Get on the ship!" I yelled to him, while running, and dodging blasts of fire. "Craaaaaaaap!" I yelled, as I made it to the top, just as the Airship was leaving. "Jump Howl!" Doom said, leaning over the side, with his hand outstretched. "Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap!" I yelled, as I leapt of the edge of the tower, and sailed toward the already flying, Airship. I hit the side of the ship and thought I was done for, when Doom grabbed my hand, and started to pull me up. "Gotcha! That was close!" Doom said, after I was safely aboard. "Yeah, too close…" I said, dusting myself off. I looked back, expecting to see those two crazy people, and that dragon, but they were gone. "Hey, where did those two people go?" "Ah, who cares, Howl? We're heading to Durotar, Capital of the Horde! There's lots of work there!" "Yeah. But one thing, let's NEVER try that stunt again. EVER." "Heh. That's a deal, Deadhead." Doom laughed. "Yeah, look who's talking!" I finished.
We didn't see it, but hanging from the bottom of the airship, were two figures, and a dragon. "Remind me why we're doing this?" "Because, it's fun, now shh! Do you want them to find us?" "*sigh* This is going to get me killed..again…"
