After the cleric had left i sat down and waited wondering why
she had chossen me. had i just been in the wroung place at the wroung
time. Or was this truely a calling from above? Befor i got the chance
to think on it any more the cleric returned this time with a young
warrior and a shaman beside her. They all bowed as one and introduced
themselves
"evening fair druid I am Strates. Larry Strates" The warrior
said bowing low.
" and i am Lisam Iron Aunk" the cleric said. the shaman just nodded to
me as a greeting then bowed again.
"we would like you to join our crusade aginst the undead" the
warrior said overing his hand to me.. I took it and shook it happily
allways willing to kill some Undead.
"I am Bugems Lorewind. but you all can call me Bug for short"
I said bowing low. All three smiled wide and i predicted what was
coming
" Bugs in the wind" they all laughed together. I just blushed and followed them trough the tunnle.
I came out into an ireie place. The wind carried death on it's
woes and brought the stench of decay. ZI resisted the urge to grab my
nose. Some were off in the distance a battle raged I could not see it
but the air was filled with iron on iron, battle crys, and the sounds
of death.
"hurry druid our company needs us" The warrior said releasing
a huge battle cry and charging off into battle. A few turns through a
hege maze and we were out on the other side. I burst into the courtyard
of the estate and was greated by a grusome sight. Bodies lay everywere
both of our allies and of the undead. I watched for a secound taking
in the sence. A young mage ran screaming from across the state but was nocked down buy some unknow force and the ghoul chasing him quickly decended on him. I torn into his flesh like a hungrey beast and the mages wails soon stopped all together. I saw a young group of dwarfs over in the corner surrounded by what seemed to be scarecrows I saw the rest of my party charging over to assist them. I picked up my pace and followed. as i ran i heard a quiet whisper in my ear "Kill them Kill them all" It said... I passed it off as a distant battle cry as I grouped up with my allies. The battle raged the undead hordes throwing themselfs apon us each one quickly killed but lowwering our companys strength. Then i heard the whisper again only it was a bit louder and clearer " Kill them. leave none alive. You are thier suppioer. They do not deserve to live." It pleaded my head swoning. I was about to shrug it off again but i noticed that a few more had heard it as well. I looked around and noticed that a few combatants stood still, on both sides, Stairing up at the moon. I followed thier gaze
and when the moon entered my vision it looked so close to me. I stood
still and staired, soon the whole battle had stoped, and everyone was
looking apon the moon. " KILL THEM ALL. KILL.KILL.KILL" The voice
screamed my vision going blurry i turned to face the enarest being.
The battlle kicked up again and it raged at it's fullest. The people
who had given in to the curse turned on anyone who had not. Both sides
were effected, but only one had to fight 2 eniemies at once. For the
possed seemed to side with the undead. The battle raged for what
seemed hours, maybe even days, all the while the voice screaming into
our ears demanding that we kill them. The power swayed back in forth
as the few who knew it was wroung fought back, somtimes breaking allies
out of the trance somtimes dropping them were they stood. The undead
didn't seem to be relenting either and soon the call went up
" RETREAT... FALL BACK TO THE GATES." it yelled over the din of
battle. thoose of us who were still alive and heard the call turned
and ran like the very fires of the burning prince were behind us. We
made the gates in little time and there we made one last stand our side
fighting with all there hearts and all there lives just trying to buy
the preasous secounds we needed to slam the gates shut. Somone yelled
to get behind the gate and right befor i turned i caught sight of the
biggest ghoul i had ever seen. I turned and just made it through the
gates befor they slammed. All the suirviors fell to the ground
exsated from thier ordeal. A few warrior managed to brace the gate
which was moaning under the stress of the forces it was holding back.
I looked about and saw that everyone had given up a few were even
readieing themselfes for suicide. I stood form my spot on the wall
and stepped out into the middle on shaking legs.
" We can't give up. If we do we loose. We need to get word of
this back to the dwarves and the elves. Who's in it" I yelled roasing
as many as i could. A young warrior stood up and approached me
" I'll head the force that is to stay behind and hold them off."
He said honorabley kneeling befor me and romoving his helm in an act
of respect.
" Good lad that is an honorable dessesion. I will stay behind
with you." I answered dropping a hand on the soilders shoulder.
" no you must not... Somone has to lead the weak and wounded
back to the dwarves" He said standing befor me his face locked in such
a gaze that i could not argue against.
" very well then.. All who can and want to stay behind and die
honorabley rise and stand behind this man..." I preached to all who
were listening. A good ten men stood and filed up behind the solider..
"... Thoose of you who can not fight please help each other to your
feet we must make great haste. We must be well out of the caldrin
befor...." I looked over at the solider and nodded to him. He nodded
back and began to ralley his troops "... these brave men die honorabley."
I finished watching as all reacted and began to pack up thier things.
Thoose who could run helping thoose who could not to thier feet.
I turned and faced the solider my face going stern and hard.
" You will not be forgotten my friend. The bard will surely
sing of your fight untill song no longer exsists." I whispered patting
him on the back and smiling again. He turned to me and grinned a sly
grinn
" I want you to do somthing for me" He asked drawing me away
from the rest of the force.
" what?" I responded suddenly interested.
" You are to give this to my lover. Celebiel, She is a high elf
pally." he said pulling an amulet from his neck and handing it to me.
" O and another thing. carry on word that not all dark elves are evil
and bad. even the shadow knights." he said pulling a bone chip form
his pocket and summoning forth his pet. He looked over at me and
flashed his smiles agaion his eyes shining purple. I Nodded to him and
turned to get the meat waggons a rolling. I had just started the march
when we heard a large crack of wood and the falling of rock... The
ghouls had broken through the gate.
" RUN FOR YOUR LIVES" I yelled causing all that were with me to
pick up there pace. I risked a glance over my shoulder and saw the
young shadow knight drop his illusion all out and charge into the
battle yelling to no god in preticluer. I got a tear in my eye relising
me and that one dark elf or not would get along so well. If only he
lived long enough to tell me about it. I turned and ran on catching up
with the trailing straglers one was brandishing a twisted ankle which
had just happened i picked the poor lad up in my arms and ran on. The
noise of battle ragiung on behind me. Thier screams followed us all
the way across the caldron and into the bvutcher block mountains. It
soon grew quiet and we knew that we were free, but the sound of pursuit
seemed to be all to common. I grabbed a near by ranger and pulled him
to slow him down. I looked at him and a spark of relisation crossed my
face " Got free of my root i see." I sneered running off befor the
ranger could answer. He yelled in rage and chased after me. We soon
made the first guard post and told one of the darven messangers the
story. We all collapsed in a heep and soon we were all sleeping soundly
knowing we were safe.

Is it truely over? Will the dwarfs do anything about it? what
Happened to the shadow knight? How could somone sleep after somthing like that?

Hmm... You'll have to find out. O and another thing the mind seems to work
in odd ways when your sick. I was sick when i wrote this story. He give me
a break the guy who wrote alice in wonder land was on Opium., and here i
can't even be sick when i write mine?
