Spells and Louds.
Chapter 473: To the Frozen North.
(October 30. Northrend, somewhere nearing Icecrown Glacier.)
At the frozen wastelands of Northrend is where the party is being held, thankfully there is no blizzard or strong bone chilling wings and of course we know whose party this is. She's no longer the 9 year old we know and sorta love, Lucy Loud is now 10 year's old and is enjoying her wicked cool birthday at the home base of the Scourge.
The whole party is the perfect them for a Goth child like her and all of her friends are here. Haiku, Aggie, Boris, Morpheus, Persephone, Dante, Rocky and Silas. All of them are there for the birthday of the little Goth girl and the place is looking wicked for them. Even they're Pokémon are enjoying this place.
They look around and see the base they're in, is the capital undead bastion of the Scourge. From the Black Citadel, the Crypts, Graveyards, Slaughter Houses, Temples of the Damned, Boneyards, Sacrificial Pits, Ziggurats, Spirit Towers, Nerubian Towers and the Altar of Darkness.
The other guests aren't feeling quite comfortable with this. The louds are kinda shocked that this is where they're celebrating her birthday.
Lynn Sr is trying to be brave, well trying. The sight of the undead is gonna make him faint and Rita is just freaked out from all of this.
Lisa is fascinated by the many armies of the undead, this is not the same undead army from the Archlich's Citadel, and this army is different and far more dangerous in nature.
Everyone else is freaked out, though Neil and Lincoln, as well as Gwen aren't freaked out. This looks okay for them.
The food seems okay and the undead don't harm anyone and Lucy even sees the many gifts she has and some of them are from Necromancers and Death knights in the area who are all on guard.
Lucy even smiles seeing her friends enjoying their cart rides from the skeletal horses and even get the chance to pet and feed the dreaded Frost Wyrms and also see how the insides and parts of an Abomination works.
They even hear some of the old stories from the Traitor King, Anub'Arak. His stories is mainly on the Spider Wars from the old Nerubian Empire. He even tells them on how he and Arthas ventured into the old spider kingdom to get to Icecrown to stop the demon hunter and his armies.
So, this seems like the normal Gothic party that any Goth kid would want. Lincoln goes over to Jordan and Linka. "So, how're you guys holding up?"
"Doing great, this is kinda freaky and also sorta scary. But the food is good though" replied Jordan. "Glad we had the party here, and that we only invited those who seem to be cool with this."
"Yeah, like her." Linka looks to the Ghost of Great Grandma Harriet as she talks to Lucy and Haiku. "Looks like she's peaceful, also is she from the other Loudverse?"
"Not that I know of, only Gyro knows and who knows where he is right now" replied Lincoln. "Also, what the heck are those guys doing?"
Leon, Sergei and Boomer are disassembling the Meat Wagon. Some of the party goers see this and are confused at their actions.
"Maybe they wanna see how the meat wagon works" replied Linka.
Leon removes the wheels and he then goes for the two scythes on the front, Sergei is moving the piles of corpses and then removes some bones and Boomer is removing the catapult and chains and then they add some more meat wagon parts.
"What in the name of the Lich King are those numbskulls trying to do to one of our Meat wagons?" asked Kel'Thuzad as he stands next to Neil. "Are they tryin to make it seem bigger?"
"It looks like it, whatever they wanna do with that thing could only spell disaster" replied Neil. "We should keep an eye on them. Those things don't have any disease clouds in them, do they?"
"No, no they do not. We only fuel our siege weapons when we need to defend or engage in a war" replied the Archlich. "There is no need to make them bigger, also that is the wrong way for the wheel."
Leon hears this. "Shut up Archlich, we know what we're doing. Now leave us the fuck alone man!" Then his Yamper shocks him. "Come on! Why?!"
Everyone laughs at that one. "Now that is what I call a shockingly chilling moment for ya!" said Luan and they all laugh at that pun.
Then they all hear a barking and see next to one of the Necromancers is a yellow dog. "Go home little one." Diogee barks and then walks way. Then they realize. "Wait, was that a dog?"
All of them have no answer to that, only Gyro knows and who knows where that damned Guardian is.
Then the meat wagon detonates and Leon, Sergei and Boomer are running around with green fire on them.
Neil sighs and he goes over and he kicks Leon into the snow and puts him out, Lincoln uses his blaster and he covers Boomer in snow. "Thank you!"
The Archlich uses his powers and Sergei is frozen still. "Oh, I went too far with that one. My apologies."
Sergei just smiles. "Don't worry, I'm sued to this shit. Only issue, my nose is itchy. Someone thaw me out now!" Anub'Arak does so with his impale ability and Sergei is free. "Thank you."
Lucy smiles seeing at how undead chaos has now unfolded. "This is the best birthday, ever and for more to come too." The rest of the Morticians Club and everyone else cheer a Happy Birthday to Lucy Loud.
Lincoln stands next to Lucy and smirks. "For more to come Luce, for more to come." He then looks to the gates that lead to the Frozen Throne and he sees his big sister/Guardian, Luna. Standing tall and watching over them.
'What the heck is Luna up to up there?'
(Somewhere on the walls of the Wrath Gates.)
Luna is standing tall at the wall and in her Frost form and she looks upon the party below with her eyes glowing blue and her Runeblade at hand and she pets the head of her Frost Wyrm, Sindragosa.
She can sense someone is coming. "You're majesty."
The Lich King, Bolvar Fordragon stands next to the Ice Heroines. "Luna Frost, why do you not join them from below to enjoy the moment of that child's day of birth for the 10th time?"
Luna sighs. "Sorry man, just kinda have this bad feeling and it's been with me since we got to this place for Lucy's birthday and I can't stop shaking it too."
The Lich King looks to the distance. "I believe I know what this feeling you are facing is, this is the feeling of something, or someone who is attempting to come to my domain. Is it not?"
Luna nods. "Yeah, you know what that's about?"
The Lich King then uses his powers and he sees what some of his undead warriors sees. "Banshees, that is what you have been sensing. The presence of the dreaded banshee queen, Sylvannas Windrunner. Her energies and her forces have been sensed by you, which means your powers with the Runeblade are getting stronger and now you may be able to sense the presence of dark forces."
Luna thinks about this and she can see he's right. "So, what do you intend to do when that banshee queen does come here?"
The Lich King places down his hammer and Frost Wyrms fly to where the banshees are located. "Leave Windrunner to me. This business is mine and not yours. She is not your concern, for now."
"But, what if she does come and then she does something that could shatter the very meaning of life and death? You're the jailor of the damned and you're the one who gave me the Runeblade I hold now and I owe it to you to help keep this kingdom of the dead safe" said Luna.
"No." The Lich King is about to go back to his throne. "I can see now that the path of Windrunner leads to me and that everyone else must leave me to face the threat alone, I may have some of my most powerful forces by my side. But this is my fight and my fight alone. Luna Frost, you have a destiny you must face alongside you're friends, family, loved ones and your brother."
"You are soon to become the new guardian alongside the brother you see as your child, the path you have has been given has been set and will soon be in motion, take it and do what you can to make sure everything is secure and safe. There will be more threats coming and they will try to stop you and your allies from defending the realms."
The Lich King Bolvar Fordragon then walks back to his throne. "Now go, and enjoy this moment with the friends and family you have. The fate of my own life will be decided when she comes to face me and all things will be judged and soon, destiny will be at hand."
Luna sighs and she looks to the distance, she can still sense the presence of the dreaded banshee forces that belonged to Sylvannas and she knows the former Warchief has intentions with the capital of Icecrown. 'Whatever you're up to Windrunner, I am not gonna let you get away with it.'
She then hears panic and she looks to the party and sees Boomer is surrounded by Scarabs and is trying to fight them off. Anub'Arak is just watching and everyone else has no clue what to do as Boomer fights these large hostile Nerubian undead beetles by himself. "Can someone do something?!"
Luna then heads down there with her Frost Wyrm and she brings down ice onto the place and Boomer is frozen still with the scarabs.
"Well, that's one way to stop an attack onto someone. Good timing kid" said Neil.
Luna comes down with her Frost Wyrm, Sindragosa. "Well, I'm here and I'm ready to celebrate Lucy's birthday."
They all continue with the party and Lucy checks on the gifts she was given, Lincoln stands next to Luna. "So, what were you doing up there and what did the Lich King wanted to talk about?"
Luna pulls her brother close to her. "Nothing important bro, just some undead and destiny stuff little brother. Nothing else important."
Lincoln smiles and he leans onto his sister's side as they watch Lucy with her gifts, but Lincoln knows something is up and that whatever it is might have something to do with the land they are in.
Just then they see all the undead forces begin to move out. "What the heck is going on?" asked Lori.
Kel'Thuzad speaks with one of his necromancers and then goes back to the others. "It appears a band of troll insurgents are trying to breach one of the Frozen Thrones outer defense, and the master has sent his strongest warriors to fend them off as we speak."
"You know these ice trolls?" asked Jordan.
"Indeed. They are what was left of the renegade ice troll warriors of Zul'Drak. They seek to destroy our land from what the scourge did to their back in times old" replied Kel'Thuzad.
"But these trolls do not like the new kingdom of Zul'Drak and wish to bring down the very center of the damned base" replied Anub'Arak. "They will pay in blood for this attack!" He the tunnels underground and rallies his Nerubian and Crypt Fiend forces.
"But with these ice trolls sieging the area of the Lich King's citadel. It would leave some diversion for the banshees of Sylvannas to try and enter our domain and we cannot let that happen" said Kel'Thuzad. He then calls upon his Frost Wyrm, Saphiron and he heads for Naxxramas.
All the Royal Defenders look to Lincoln and Linka, both Lincks look to each other, smile and they're masks activate. "Alright guys, let's go and take down some hostiles!" said Linka.
Lincoln then has sky striker ready. "Let's make sure those trolls are down for the count and we're gonna need a team to make sure all the other defenses around this land are secured and keep the banshee queens forces away."
They all nod and split up. The Young Morticians Club also join in by riding with some meat wagons and the rest of the party guests head for the Spirit Tower and watch from the safety of the undead building.
Luna then kisses Lincoln's head. "Stay safe baby bro."
Lincoln smiles. "I will sis, I will." He watches as Luna rides onto her Forst Wyrm and heads off to patrol the walls of the Frozen Throne.
Lincoln, Linka, Jordan, Leni, Sunset, Leon and Sergei then head off to take down the ice trolls. "Just another day of battle for us then!" said Lincoln.
