Chapter 1-
Huor and Gilraen were walking back to the grove from their secret spot cheerfully without any concerns.
"Damn lousy elves, why did I have to go looking for them" muttered Elros, a guard for Cenarius II. Elros was walking in the outskirts of the grove when he saw Huor and Gilraen. He ducked behind a corner and waited for them. When he saw them pass his spot he prepared a spell, jumped out from behind the corner and cast it at the duo. Magical bindings flashed into existence trapping the two's arms and legs together. And a neck "chain" leading to his wrist.
"Hey, what's this for" shouted Huor.
"I have orders to bring you to Cenarius II." replied Elros
"Can't you just ask us to walk?" said Gilraen trying to be reasonable.
"How about.... No" said Elros in a comical way. [Authors Note: This is from Austin Powers (favourite movie). I put this in because my friend bet me I couldn't fit an Austin Powers quote in a place where it makes sense] "Poo on you!" screamed Huor. Elros readied a new spell and cast it. The two floated into the air then Elros used a third spell and robbed Huor of speech. Then he started walking back to the front line.
**Time Passes**
**At the Front Line**
"Elros reporting for duty, sir!!" shouted Elros to Cenarius.
"Good job Elros" commented Cenarius. Cenarius undid the spells and beckoned everyone to go in front of him. He cast a spell and he raised into the air on a magical platform. "USING THE POWER GRANTED TO ME BY THE GODDESS ELUNE, USING EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU AS WITNESSES, HEREBY EXILE EX-PRIESTESS OF THE MOON GILRAEN SHADOWMOON, AND HUOR GALATHIL, FORMER NIGHT-ELF HERO FROM THE GROVE OF CENARIUS II!!!!!!!!!"
"Now you two" he pointed to Gilraen and Huor "are trespassing in the Grove of Cenarius II. You have one minute to go away before we engage in combat against you."
"You can't do this!" shouted Gilraen.
"We're your friends" yelled Huor.
"I don't know you, stranger" said Cenarius.
"You can't do this!" shouted Gilraen again.
"I believe I just did Idiot!" cried out Cenarius. "You have 15 seconds"
"Fine idiot we're leaving" said the two exiled ones in unison.
** In the Pinesliver forest **
Huor and Gilraen are walking through the forest pondering about many things such as -stupid Cenarius- -why did he banish us- -who needs his grove anyway- -at least huor/gilraen is with me- Gilraen suddenly stopped and listened. Huor did likewise. They heard the sound of battle coming from the east. "Fighting, lets go!" commanded Gilraen. Both of them started running towards the sound. In half a minute they were overlooking a grove being desecrated by an undead attack force. "Charge!" shouted Gilraen. The two of them ran down a hill towards a small knot of undead fighters and they prepared their selves for battle. Gilraen let loose and arrow that impaled a ghoul and huor flipped over a crypt fiend and stabbed into an abomination's heart. A crypt lord quickly emerged from the ground and bashed Huor with a spiked leg. Huor went flying through an elven house and landed in a bale of hay. Gilraen jumped off her tiger and pulled out two katana's and started slicing and dicing all the undead around her. All the elvish villagers seeing the opportunity picked up a weapon and jumped into the fray. Soon the undead called a much-needed retreat. Gilraen ran over to where Huor was lying. He had a massive gash on his chest and blood was pouring out. He had many holes in the rest of his torso also bleeding. He had bruises & cuts all over his body and his back was full of gigantic splinters. One spine was going straight through his arm. Gilraen stood and summoned healing energy. She used it on Huor and most of the bleeding stopped. "Get some healers over here!" she yelled. A couple priests ran over and started using magic to heal Huor.
**Time Passes**
Huor slowly opened his eyes to see a ceiling. He tried getting up but his body hurt too much. Gilraen was sitting beside him waiting for a recovery. "Huor, can you hear me?" asked Gilraen quietly.
"Ihh.... Cha....aa...ne..." groaned Huor then his eyes shut again.
**Time Passes**
**At a human encampment**
Journal Entrey July 18th: We have made an encampment in the pinesliver forests. About two-hundred men and women went into the forest and settled small encampments all over a small patch of forest. Seven small encampments. With about thirty people in each one.
Journal Entrey July 21st: Something really bizarre happened on the 20th. In the dark of night, at about 2:00am something came into encampment number 3 and stole six women. We just noticed this morning.. And when a group of us was chopping wood at 9:00 pm a dark shadow jumped out and knocked one of us into a puddle, but we couldn't really see what it was.
Journal Entrey July 30th: Several kidnappings have occurred again even with guards posted. This is getting freaky. We are now 37 women down from 95. One of our men was found dead and hanging on our flagpost a couple days ago and we're starting to get scared.
Journal Entrey August 4th: A huge kidnapping, consisting of 50 women happened two nights ago and several more men were found dead.
Journal Entrey August 9th: During the night we had 15 guards posted and then I was awake reading a story when I heard a sickening crunch, looked out my tent and saw 15 dead guards lying on the ground.
Journal Entrey August 24th: We're out of women and two of our encampments have been destroyed. A group tried running but they got killed.
Journal Entrey September 6th: We're down to three encampments and 15 starving men, including me.
Journal Entrey September 18th: One encampment, 7 men.
Journal Entrey September 21st: Me and Griggory left alive, last encampment.
Journal Entrey September 23rd NOW: I'm looking around with a sword in my non-writing hand. Griggory got shot in the leg with and arrow in the leg and he's resting. Oh shit. I think i see something. It looks like a gigantic creature standing in the trees with a massive wing span! IT's moving toward me. Oh shit!! It's 15 feet tall. Griggory's awake and we're going to try to fight it..........
**In the Pinesliver forest**
"I'm so bored" sighed Gilraen.
"Right on" commented Huor. Both were trudging through the forest extremely bored. A human dwarf in a cape holding a rifle bolted across Gilraen and Huor's path and back into the forest on the other side. *Crunch* *Creak* *Crunch* "What's that noise" whispered Huor.
"That" screamed Gilraen as she pointed into the forest. A massive dark shape was running right at them. "SHIT, RUN!!" she yelled and they both started sprinting in the direction the dwarf went. The shape was catching up but at least they could see the dwarf. Soon they caught up to him. "What is that thing..." Gilraen panted.
"I... don't know... either..." he said "All... I know.... is that.... it's trying to kill me....."
"That's ... quite obv...ious..." Huor replied. The creature stopped but the three kept running. Soon they were out of sight of the creature. "Phew...." Huor gasped in a raspy voice.
They emerged onto another path and started slowly walking along it until they got to a four-way intersection. On the opposite side of the path they saw a bunch of ghouls walking towards them. They jumped into a bush and watched. Five ghouls were standing around a sixth one and they started the attack, claw, and bite it. The sixth didn't resist. After a beating the ghouls ran away and left the wounded one standing there. "I have to do something" said Gilraen, practically sobbing.
"IT'S UNDEAD!" shouted Huor. "DON'T HELP IT!"
"I will" and Gilraen started walking toward the ghoul. When she was standing beside it five ghouls bolted out from the sides. "Trap" she muttered. Gilraen Shadowmoon was not one to put down a fight. She drew a katana and jumped in to a roll she got up and slashed a ghoul in half then did a cartwheel, turned into spin and cut apart two others. She started running away and when the ghouls came close behind her she stopped, ducked, and jumped into a back flip. When she landed behind them she swung the sword through their heads. She looked back at Huor and saw a couple crypt fiends dragging Huor and the dwarf away. Gilraen's friends were in a web and poisoned. She hurled a katana at a crypt fiend and it dug straight into it's brain. She drew the other katana and started sprinting to the other crypt fiend. She jumped high into the air and summoned a magical power to empower the blade. A lightning bolt struck the sword and the blade started glowing yellow. While in the air many ghouls burst out and started pulling the abandoned web with Huor away. Gilraen landed sword first into the crypt fiends head. A huge blast occurred and many lightning bolts flew out and completely obliterated the ghouls. She landed in the middle of the slaughter and quickly slashed the webs into nothing. "With Elune's power, I rejuvenate thee" A blue beam went into Huor and the Dwarf and soon they were both up and ready. Gilraen walked over to the ghoul and did the same. The ghoul was bone coloured with some purple splotches and an unusual streak of red across his chest. The ghoul ran away.
"Now lets move."
