The War Against Drakath
Can you guess what's happening to Swordhaven? Should be pretty obvious even if you haven't played the game before...
Chapter 6: Undead Invasion
Masamune44 and I went over to Swordhaven as soon as we saw the fire. I don't see why Masamune44 was so worked off. It's not like nobody was going to extinguish it.
We found the city to be crawling with undead. Whoever was behind this must be skilled at necromancy...because I couldn't count how many undead were attacking. All I knew was that there were too many of them to count.
We saw that there were various kinds of undead attacking the city too. Some of them were simply undead soldiers, while others used fire and ice magic respectively to wreak havoc on the town. Multiple people were screaming. It was so annoying.
Artix was fighting the undead. He was killing them pretty easily, but even so the undead were slowly marching towards the castle. Seemed like it was their main target...
Artix and the other fighters asked for our assistance to fight the undead. We decided to help out. The undead weren't really as strong as they looked...we did have to fight a lot of them though.
"Oh man! This is just like your dream!" Masamune44 said. "Your what?" I asked him confused. "I had a dream where this evil knight dude was assembling an army of undead!" "An evil knight dude, huh? Why didn't you tell me about this?" I asked to him angrily. "I thought it was just a dream." Masamune44 said to me.
Suddenly out of nowhere I had a flashback. It wasn't part of my memories though, so I was rather confused. A king that looked similar to King Alteon, but younger was sitting on a throne in front of a knight wearing red armor.
"Sepulchure, I am afraid I have no choice but to fire you. You have continued war crimes without remorse or pity. Not to mention that you have been practicising necromancy for your own purposes. You know how I feel about undead!"
"Fine! I don't need you anyway! I have my own agendas to attend to!" With that, the red knight stomped off. The king looked displeased.
Suddenly I was jolted out of my flashback by Masamune44. "Are you OK?" He asked me. He looked rather concerned. "I'm fine. Don't be such a worrywart about me." I said back. "Anyways, I had this strange flashback...it was about the red knight and this king..."
"Hmm...red knight...that sounds familiar. Anyways, we should head to the castle. It seems that its the undead minions' main target." No duh, I thought to myself. We headed to the castle, but on our way there we saw the biggest undead we have ever seen.
It was huge. Well, OK not that huge, but it was bigger than the undead we saw. It seemed to be a giant of some kind. I wondered how this necromancer guy managed to assimilate it to his undead army. Anyways, it lunged towards us as soon as it saw us. It swiped at me first. I ducked and fired a snowball, nailing it.
It wasn't happy about that. It stomped on my foot, forcing me to grab it in pain. Masamune44 slashed it and its legs came off. Of course, since undead can't feel pain, that didn't really help that much. It swiped at Masamune44 with its arms, forcing him to duck. He then stabbed it with his own sword.
I fired several fireballs at it. Our efforts seemed to be working, because the undead giant was slowing down. Eventually I managed to knock its head off. But it kept on going after us. Finally, after a long battle, we managed to bring it down.
"Wow, that was a long battle." said Masamune44. "Oh please. I've fought worse things than that." I said to him back. "Uh-huh sure." he said to me sarcastically.
With help from Artix and the others, we managed to lower the drawbridge so that we could get inside the castle. We knew that the undead had probably gotten in there already, so we prepared ourselves accordingly. Who knew what was in there...
Our heroes have defeated the undead giant, but the invasion isn't over...can they stop whoever's responsible for this and save Swordhaven? Let's hope so...please R&R! In the next chapter, we'll go to Masamune44's POV for the time being...
