Chapter 1: Scourge.
BANG! BANG!
"Jarvan! Time to wake up!" A familiar voice yelled making me shot my eyes open.
I looked around my room, making sure that the nightmare wasn't real, thankfully it wasn't. Sighing I stand up from my bed and do the same routine as always.
'Huh, it was a long time since I had that nightmare.' I thought making my way to the bathroom the last time I had that dream was when I was 11 years old…since then I always had the same nightmare, of him.
The Lich King, it is famo- infamous among the three factions. You know let me tell you a secret, you guys are maybe thinking that the only ones fighting where Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels, right? Hoh. Bad news for you.
There was another faction.'The Undead.'
So, yes in other words. They were four factions, Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels and the Undead. The Undead was among the undead any type, Human Devil Fallen Angels, heck The Lich King somehow succeed to corrupted angels making those three factions betrayed their own race. In the war, of four factions. The Lich King was the one who had more armies than the other three factions, he was feared among them, In fact, he was so powerful that he made his own Kingdom, that he claimed a part from the Underworld, it is known as 'Icecrown Citadel' the place is really huge, and heck it's everything is made of ice, the place is full of Undead lurking around the place, they are some lurking around the world too, just a little since there's not a Lich King, they are rampaging at some parts of the world, killing innocent people and turning them part of the Undead Faction.
I went to the bathroom sighing I did my daily schedule, I looked at the mirror and I could see that I have green/gray eyes and blonde hair slicked back, it's numerous spiky strands pointing backwards though some fall down in a small tuft on my forehead I had a decent muscular body a good one for my age, I am 18 years old and I had lightly tanned skin. I started to brush my teeths if I remember correctly today I have a mission with-
BANG! BANG!
"Jarvan! Are you awake yet!?" The same voice yelled, banging her fist on the door.
Spitting some toothpaste on the sink I turned to look at the door, annoyed. "Coming, coming! I'm brushing my teeths!" I yelled back.
"You better move fast, we only have 15 minutes left!" The voice yelled.
"Alright, alright! I'll be there!" I answered.
I didn't get a response this time, but I could hear footsteps, she was taking her leave it seems.
Finally, I finished brushing my teeths, I made my way to the closet, taking my combat outfit. THANKFULLY it's not the same one as my two partners...I swear I would start a walkout if I wear those. Well, my combat outfit consist of a black T-shirt- and pants with combat black boots and finally a white cloak with the hood off.
Finally getting dressed I get out from my room, heading towards the dinner room to eat some breakfast, like always a normal day and of course people looking at me with fear or glaring at me. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you something.
I am the new 'Lich King.'
Well…not entirely what I'm trying to say is that I'm supposed to do the prophecy of my family, by having the runeblade is enough to prove that I'm the actual 'Lich King' but to be completely one first I need the helmet or else they will not obey me. That's another reason that we only got one Lich King since my family didn't found about the helmet then they couldn't control all the undead. The first one to be the Lich King was my great great grandfather, his name was Arthas Menethil a.k.a The Lich King. For now he was the only one to be the most powerful Lich King in our family but of course like my other great great grandfather said. 'At long last…no king rules forever my son.' That was Terenas Menethil ll, father of Arthas he wasn't a Lich King, but, unfortunately, he was the first victim. Since Arthas was defeated but some reason that I don't know, there wasn't a Lich King for millennia, yes indeed my family could get the cursed Runeblade for some unknown reason we could make it appear, like a [Sacred Gear] what sword I'm talking about? Well…
"Finally, you made it in time." Says the familiar voice I look up to see that in fact I was now in the dinner room of the Vatican.
What? Didn't you know I worked in the Vatican?
Yes me, the user of the most feared and hated sword in the supernatural world, working for the church. The irony is really strong here.
"Yeah, sorry I fell asleep," I say getting a sigh from the three ladies sitting.
"Like always, anyways good to know that you're here, Jarvan we were just talking about the mission." The older woman says.
"Aye, Griselda." I responded. Griselda is a beautiful older woman her age should be 30 or 40 her face shows that she is somewhere from Europe she can be a little strict, but she cares for the three of us.
"Morning! Ja-chan!" One of the girls greeted happily, her names is Irina Shidou she has violet eyes and chestnut brown hair tied in two ponytails and she had an armband around her upper arm. And she always uses to talk in Japanese, why? I don't even know.
"Morning." The last one greeted was Xenovia Quarta, she's the ward of Griselda she has long blue hair with the front color green, yellow eyes and behind her was a huge sword wrapped in white cloth heck…the sword's big for her. But she can carry it like it was a normal sword.
"Morning everyone," I grunted taking my seat next to Griselda. "So…about the mission…"
"Yes, we are going in 9 minutes." She suddenly says making me nod.
"Alright, but why are you coming with us? We can take care of ourselves you know?" I said getting a sigh from the older woman.
"I know, but this mission is far more different than the other ones," She says before I could say something she interrupts me. "It's the Scourge, Jarvan." She finished making my eyes widen.
If you guys don't know, that's how they are called the army of the Lich King. 'The Scourge.'
"What's the mission?" I asked ready to kill those bastards.
She just gave me a piece of paper to read, taking it I read the letter.
S.O.S
Please, someone! We need help! We are surrounded by the Scourage!
We need some back up from the Vatican they have a Lich here!
We are in Great Barrington, MA
We are inside the church we are trying to hold them back!
Please, somebody, help us!
My eyes widen in surprise at the note, if I read correctly.
There is a Lich.
A Lich is a powerful undead sorcerer that possesses the tremendous magical power they are Ultimate-Class heck, one of them called Kel'Thuzad haves the same power of the actuals Maous and they are the most powerful sorceress that the Scourge has.
But the real question is. What is a Lich is doing in a town? As far as I know the Lich are always looking down at everything, they wouldn't go in a 'mortal town' for nothing.
Maybe there's something that they want inside that church.
"So…now you get why I need to go with the three of you?" Griselda says.
"Yeah, but why is there a Lich?" I asked getting a sigh from her.
"I don't know. Father Morgraine says that it's confidential."
"B-But you have the right to know, right Griselda-san?" Irina says.
"Irina is right, you should know everything about the mission." Xenovia agreed with Irina.
"Indeed I should know," She says. "But I don't."
"Everything else apart from a Lich?" I asked.
"There should be Ghouls, some necromancers and that's it."
Ghouls. Those are pretty common we could say they zombies from humans and maybe either of the three factions. Easy to kill when they are alone, difficult when it's a horde of them.
Necromancer. The reason that Ghouls can get alive again. Those are either followers of the Lich or they are Stray Exorcist working for them. As far as I know they know black magic. They are fragile but still. Not a good Idea to underestimated. But something is not right…
"Death Knights?" I asked getting a shrug from her.
"Not Idea, but maybe one or two so don't let your guard down the three of you. Understand?" She ordered getting nods from the three of us.
Death Knights. We could say that's the other way to revive someone it's like the thing they use Devils and Angels. But unlike using chess pieces or poker cards. They are revived through black magic. Their bodies without a soul. They only use this technique with worthy opponents. For example. They could use it with a human with a [Sacred Gear], and have a Death Knight with a [Sacred Gear] by their side.
They are three types of Death Knight.
Frost Death Knight. Like the name says. They use ice magic to fight they are the most commons in a group of undead.
Unholy Death Knight. Those are like necromancers. They summon ghouls to fight for them but let's say stronger than the actual ghouls. They can use also the black magic and their weapons have diseases that can kill you.
Finally, Blood Death Knight. Those are the worst. They use Blood as their magic. If you somehow get a deeper wound you're good as death. Also, they endure a lot of attacks. They can heal themselves by drinking blood and they go berzerk if they are close to dying…again or if they drink a lot of blood.
Yep. It's the only Death Knight I don't want to fight with.
"Alright, I'm ready," I said. Getting out from my seat.
"Me too Griselda-san!" Irina says.
"Yes me too," Xenovia says.
"Alright. Before we go we need to get some supplies who knows how long it's going to be. So we are going to meet outside the Vatical am I clear?" She says getting the three of us a nod.
"Okay then. You have 4 minutes." She then stands up and goes to her room. To get supplies.
"Alright let's get going ladies," I say standing up and walking out from the cafeteria of the Vatican followed by two holy wielders.
"This is amazing are you two excited?!" Irina says jumping in front of us making us take a step back.
"Uhhh..sure," I said.
"Yes. This is going to be a new experience this is my first mission going after the Scourge." Xenovia stated.
"I know right!? This is going to be awesome!"Irina exclaimed clasping her hands together. I swear I can see stars forming in her eyes. "Oh thank you god for giving us this great opportunity to prove ourselves! Amen!" Irina prayed.
"So anyways it seems that you two have your holy swords now." I sais getting two nods from the holy wielders.
"Yes, they're amazing! One day I want to spar either with you Xenovia-chan! Or you Ja-tan!" She exclaimed.
"Unfortunately, we can't today we have a mission to go and we only have 2 minutes left," Xenovia says with a sigh it seems that she wanted to spar too.
"Well, at least you can use your new toys with the Scourge," I say.
"Ja-chan why didn't you got a holy sword too?" Irina suddenly asks.
"And who said I don't?" I say making the two of them turn to me with wide eyes. Yes as you can see I can use holy weapons too, just because I'm the descendant of the Lich King, it means I'm not going to have the ability to use holy swords, take for example Arthas he uses holy weapons, actually I think thanks to that I'm still alive. Because I can use holy weapons. Or else I think they will chop my head.
"Wait! You have an Excalibur too?!" Irina asks shocked.
"Why didn't you told us?" Xenovia says with narrowed eyes.
"I didn't tell you because it's not a holy sword," I answered making their eyes wider.
"I-Impossible…there's no other holy weapon I have heard…" Xenovia muttered.
"Well…they are and they're not only holy swords."
"Then why you don't use it when we spar?" Irina asks with a pout.
"Alright alright, look we don't have a lot of time we need to go with Griselda in two minutes and we still don't have supplies, so you decide we can still talk about this and face the wrath of Griselda, OR! We can just get the supplies." I said making the two girls eyes widen in horror.
"T-To get supplies!" Irina stammered
"A-Aye…" Xenovia says.
"Alright then, let's get going," I say with a smirk.
Finally getting out from the Vatican and with three bags of supplies, we made our way towards the car that Griselda was waiting outside for us.
"Alright get inside the three of you," Griselda ordered.
Nodding we entered the car the three of us in the back while Griselda sits in the passenger seat she turns to the driver, nodding the driver turns on the car and we started to make our way to the airport.
"Alright, this is the plan. We are going to take out the people inside the Church."
"But how? The only entrance is in front where the ghouls are trying to demolish the door." I said.
"If we are lucky probably there are going to be only ghouls and probably one Death Knight," Griselda says."If that's the case we have to use a bait, to take them away from the church."
"And if we have more guests?" Xenovia says.
"Probably the same, but if the Lich it's with the ghouls leave him to me, you could take care of the ghouls and if the Death Knight it's not a blood type, then you should be fine," Griselda assured us.
I don't think the Lich is outside, they can be powerful and have their ego on top of their heads, but they are always hiding with some Necromancers and probably a Death Knight. Since they are the most powerful mages that the Scourge has, it would take a lot to make a powerful dark spell so they have to hide.
"I just hope the are just ghouls," Irina added.
"Well, there can be some skeletons too, but they're not dangerous they have the same strength of a zombie, as long as you guys have your guard up. Then everything should be fine."
"The only problem I have right now is, why is a Lich attacking a town? Especially a church, Lich are known for their disgust of the human world especially churches." I asked.
"Like I said before, I don't know Jarvan," Griselda answered I could feel her eyes narrowing. "But I'm going to find out. When this mission is over."
"Maybe they have something that belongs the Scourge?" Irina said.
"You know, I wouldn't believe this," Griselda says. "But, giving the fact that a Lich is there, then that could be an option."
RING! RING!
"I'll answer," Griselda says, taking out her cell phone.
"Hello?"
Sighing I look out the window, for you guys to know this is not my first mission killing undead, heck probably is the only one this types of mission are the most difficult yet at the same type the easiest ones.
It all depends on what types of undead are out there. If they are just an bunch of ghouls, zombies or skeletons. Then it's easy. But if there's a Lich that mission is difficult.
"Jarvan." Xenovia's voice bring me back to my reality I turn to look at her face. "Irina and I we are talking, since you're the most experience one from the three of us. What should we do?" Xenovia asks.
"Well, first of all you have to see what types of undead are lurking around, and go for the most dangerous, that could be the Lich for example, but since Griselda want to take care of him, we're going for the second must dangerous, Death Knights or necromancers if we are lucky, we are going to fight only the Ghouls and Skeletons…" I said. "and some zombies on the way." I added.
"But you just said that the Lich are hiding somewhere, where he could be?" Irina asked putting a thinking position.
"For common people it would be difficult, but since we are trained to detect demonic power, we can find him easily," I say. "But that's only the easiest part, who knows who are defending the Lich it could be necromancers, or Death Knights or worse, both of them."
"What do you think that the church is hiding from us?" Xenovia suddenly asks.
"I don't know, but it can't be good for the Vatican," I answered.
"Maybe it's a trap?" Irina added.
"Hmmm, that couldn't be a bad guess," I said. "Since lately we had a lot of exorcists joining the Scourge."
"Che. Those traitors I will gladly erase them from this world!" Xenovia declared, it seems that she doesn't like traitors.
"Yes! Those people who betrayed God shall be-"
"We've got bad news." Griselda interrupted Irina.
"What is it?" Xenovia asks.
"They destroyed the airplane," She said making our eyes widen.
"W-What?! H-How?!" I asked, shocked.
"It seems that the airplane was making its way to the airport, unfortunately, a Val'kyr destroyed the plane.
"What!?" I said shocked.
"W-What is it Ja-chan?!" Irina asked.
"…Jarvan?" Xenovia questioning voice.
"…Val'kyr are dead valkyries that can wake up undead from their slumber." I said. "In other words, those are the only ones that can make Death Knights," I said.
Val'kyr…those are the right hand of the Lich King, I thought they were finished with Arthas, it seems that some of them are alive. Now this is a bigger problem.
"What is the rank of a Val'kyr?" Xenovia asks.
"High class if they are white color…" Griselda says.
"…Ultimate class if they are black ones." I added.
"Then if there's a Val'kyr there, it means that…"
"Yes, there's gotta be a Death Knight too."
"…What the hell that church has inside the church to bring a lot of attention…?" I asked.
"I don't know, but this time, I will get answers," Griselda says. "No matter what."
"Driver, change the route to Great, Barrington, MA."
"…Yes."Was the only response of the driver, it seems that I am shocked about this mission. Heh, he is going to miss the fun.
"Alright, this is the new plan." Griselda turns her head to look at the three of us. "If we are lucky the Lich should be hidden somewhere, so we can take care of him later. The true problem is the Val'kyr. If we don't kill her, then she can revive the Death Knights all the time she pleases, I want the three of you to distract the Death Knights while I fight the Val'Kyr. Understand?"
"And if the Val'kyr is not around?" Irina asked.
"Easy, we take care of the Death Knights first. But the Val'kyr should be flying around so staying in the roofs it's not an option. We need to hide inside the buildings."
"Alright, let's do this," Xenovia says. Looking at her holy sword.
"Can we do this mission..?" Irina asks nervously on her tone.
"…If we are lucky we are going to barely survive with one arm or a leg." I joked.
"Jarvan, please don't make them more nervous." Griselda scolded.
"R-Right, sorry." I said, I don't want to make Griselda angry if it's possible.
"We are here." Griselda says, getting out from the car.
"U-Uhh?" I wake up, jeez I fell asleep. I tried to wake up, but I felt something in my shoulder. Turning my head my eyes widen, Irina was sleeping peacefully on my shoulder, I could feel my cheeks heating up a little. She looks damn adorable sleeping.
Shaking her a little to wake her up, I could see that her eyes were opening a little, with a cute yawn she looks at her surroundings and then our eyes met.
.
.
.
"EEP!" She suddenly squeaked pushing me away and making me fall on the floor. Since Griselda opened the door to wake me up. Falling headfirst on the floor. I grabbed my head in pain making the driver and Griselda laugh.
"I-I'm sorry Ja-chan! I didn't want to push you away! She suddenly says getting out of the car and helping me standing up.
"I-It's alright it was just an accident," I assured her. She then gives me a shaky hand to stand up and I took it.
"Ahhh…young love." The driver gushed. Making the two of us blush. "I wish you good luck in your mission, exorcist of the Vatican!" The driver says finally driving away.
We watched how the car was making its way back to the church.
.
.
.
BOOOM!
Surprising the car exploded far away from us our eyes were widen in horror, h-how?!
"W-What happened!?" Irina asked in shock.
"RUN!" Griselda yelled bringing us back to reality, without questioning we followed her, running a store.
"W-What's happening?!" Xenovia asked gripping her sword more tightly.
"Shhh…" Griselda shushed us, then she pointed to the sky, our eyes widen in horror.
In the air was a winged figure floating in the sky her wings were white like angels wings, people would think that she is an Angel.
But it's not.
She was wearing white Viking like armor, her skin(?) was white pale, transparent like with a helmet covering her eyes and only her mouth could be seen.
That's our Val'kyr right there.
"…Val'kyr." Griselda whispered.
"She looks like and angel!" Irina says in shock.
"Monsters…to copy the identity of an angel." Xenovia says coldly, they should meet the tip of my sword for such insult!"
"Thankfully she has white wings," I added.
"Uh? What are you talking about Ja-tan?" Irina asks.
"Like I said before, they are High-class Val'kyr or Ultimate-class Val'kyr," I said. "The white Val'kyrs are high-class. The black ones are ultimate-class." I explained.
"And that's a good thing?" Xenovia says.
"Well…better than an ultimate so yeah sure it's better than I thought," I answered. Getting a nod from her.
"And what's the difference between a Black one and a White one?" Irina asks.
"Black ones can revive the Death Knights and empower them with black magic," I say. "White ones can only revive them," I added.
"It seems that we need to watch the skies too, we don't want to be detected, she is probably taking guard around in case she finds unwelcome humans," Griselda says.
"And the poor driver was one of the unfortunates," Irina says sadly she claps her hands. "Oh God! May his clean soul rest in peace! Amen!" She prayed.
Suddenly the Val'kyr flew to another direction it seems she started her guard duty again.
"I'll go first," She says getting out from the store slowly finally out of the store she looks in the sky in case the Val'kyr is floating around us, thankfully she wasn't.
Leaving the store slowly Irina and Xenovia with her weapons ready in case of an ambush. We looked in our surroundings to see that the streets are empty not a human or undead. We could hear a faint sound in the other side of the street, it was really faint. But enough for us to hear it.
"Let's go." It seems that Griselda heard it too, since we are walking towards the sound.
"There's no one around here…"Irina says her sword now in her hands.
"Maybe, they are hiding in the church…" Xenovia added.
"Or maybe they are new recruits from the Scourge," I said bluntly making the older woman sigh.
"Jarvan, don't act in that way, maybe they are alive in the…." She suddenly trailed off we look in front of us to see something shocking.
Dead bodies.
They were a lot of dead bodies, of the townspeople all scattered in the street they are some undeads too maybe the people fight to protect themselves. Buildings destroyed…Man…woman…children all killed without mercy by the Scourge.
"A-Are we late…?" Irina asks her eyes watering at the horrible scene in front of us.
"Bastards! I'll make sure to slain them limb by limb!" Xenovia says angrily.
"…Let's get going." Griselda says her voice sounded neutral, but she was really pissed. And that's a good thing in situations like this.
The Scourge is going to face the wrath of Griselda.
I feel a little bad for them. Just a little bit.
Finally making our way to the faints sounds, we could hear them now perfectly. They were groans, weak groans like the one of an undead.
We were inside the building since we couldn't get out thanks to the Val'kyr. In front of us was the church a few meters away, and some zombies punching the door, trying to break it.
Griselda then takes something from her robes, binoculars and handed them to me. Understanding her message I take them and start watching the Scourge.
"What are we facing, Jarvan?" Griselda asks.
"…10 Zombies, 1 Val'kyr, 5 Skeletons…" I said.
"..That's it?" Griselda asks disbelief on her voice.
Moving the binoculars to the right, I could see a humanoid between the Scourge.
"A Death Knight," I said.
"What type?" She asks.
Looking at the Death Knight again, I could see that he was wearing a dark skirt, in his waist was a dark belt with a skull in the middle, a dark plated armor without covering his arms, dark gauntlets not covering his fingers, he has a shoulder plate with some spikes in it and finally a cape with hood, covering his face. That armor is, the first armor that they give to the Death Knights if I'm not wrong the name of the armor is [Acherus Knight's Battleplate.]
"I can't see his face, his hood id covering his face, but he is a recruit," I told her.
"…Weird." She muttered.
"What is it, Griselda-san?" Irina asks.
"They are not many that I thought," She answered.
"Remember that when we found the…horrible scene they were some undeads too." I told her taking the binoculars off my eyes and looking at her.
"Yes, but they weren't a lot."
"Maybe they are protecting the Lich," Xenovia answered this time.
"I hope you're right, Xenovia," Griselda says. "Now, here is the plan. It seems that God is smiling down to us so like I said before, I'll take care of the Val'kyr, you three are going for the Death Knight, Understand?" She asks us, the three of us nodded in unison.
"Alright. Weapons ready." She says taking her katana out of her sheath while Irina transforms her weapon into a Katana and Xenovia taking the white cloth of her weapon.
I just put my arm to the side and closed my eyes. Concentrating to summon my weapon. Suddenly I could feel a relaxing aura in my left hand, opening my eyes I could see my hand shining, Irina and Xenovia looking at me in shock while Griselda just rolled her eyes.
"[Light's Vengeance.]" I muttered then the light that was dancing in my hands start to from a weapon, finally taking the shape of the weapon that I wanted I smirked.
The weapon that is now resting in my hand was an enormous, heavy-looking hammer, the same size as Xenovia weapon. It's silver head etched with runes and it's sturdy half wrapped in blue leather. This is the holy weapon of my Grandfather, Arthas Menethil. [Light's Vengeance.]
I could hear two gasps and a scoff in my right side making my smirk only grew a bit larger turning to look at the three exorcists I could see Irina with her hands clasped in her mouth, Xenovia has her eyes widened and her mouth a hanging a little open, and finally the best one, Griselda was looking at me with a deadpanned expression.
"You're done?" Griselda asks with a deadpanned tone.
"Are you Jealous, Griselda?" I teased.
She only scoffed again, muttering. "Show off…" I just laughed.
"Alright, on my mark," She says, raising her arm.
.
.
.
"NOW!" She yelled and the four of us charged to the Scourge, ready to send them to their grave, again.
It seems that the only one to hear us was the Death Knight, Val'kyr, and the Skeletons, they turned to see us charging to them.
"Ahh, it seems that some humans are alive, after all." The Val'kyr says. Turning to the Skeletons and the Death Knight. "Well? What are you waiting for? KILL THEM!" She ordered. Making the Skeletons charge at us like some angry bulls, while the Death Knight shot his right arm to his side a green aura taking the shape of large weapon, finally taking his shape the weapon was a polearm, his handle was made of a dark metal, the same colors as his armor and the head had the form of an ax with a large tip on top of it making it more deadly and on the tip was green colored meaning that…
'He's an Unholy Death Knight' I thought.
"FOR THE SCOURGE!" The unholy Death Knight roared charging forward surprising the ground where he was standing started to shake making a small fissure, something was getting out of there. Getting from the ground was a coming a with an appearance of a bent their flesh rotten away, showing some bones with claws and fangs.
"GHOULS! FOUR OF THEM!" Griselda called out. "I'LL TAKE CARE OF THE VAL'KYR!" She yelled.
"ALRIGHT!" I called out, the three of us. Irina, Xenovia, and I. Rushed forward to the skeletons ghouls and the Death Knight.
"ARRRRRGG!" I roared, raising my hammer ready to crush some skulls, finally smashing a Skeleton in the upper part of his head breaking him completely.
"By the name of God! I'll punish you! Amen!" Irina prayed cutting two skeletons in half.
"Die! Scourge!" Xenovia roared, stabbing the sword on the floor.
DOOOOOONNN!
A powerful wave of destruction send the last Skeletons away destroying their bones in the process.
"DIE! HUMAN!" The Death Knight roared, turning around I could see the Death Knight ready to stab me with his ghouls behind him running to taste our flesh.
Moving to the right to dodge the stab I swing my hammer to the right to break his ribs, unfortunately, he jumped out of the way. Ready to rush forwards I was interrupted when the ghouls jumped behind the Death Knight ready to attack me, not having another option I jumped back too, dodging their assault. Irina and Xenovia rushing at my side in a fighting stance, the three of us versus the five of them.
"Xenovia, Irina," I called out. "You girls take care of the ghouls I'll have a dance with the Death Knight," I said getting two hesitant nods.
"Alright…Jut be careful, Ja-chan." Irina says.
"Care…Jarvan." Xenovia says.
"The same for the two of you, even if they are not the strongest of the Scourge army, they are still tough and more when they are a lot of them."
"CHARGE MY MINIONS! TEAR THEM APART!" The Death Knight ordered his voice with echo ranging on their ears, the Ghouls charged forward without hesitation and so we did.
Rushing towards the Death Knight while Irina fight with two should and Xenovia with the rest. I spin ready to smash my hammer to his sides he just put his polearm forward parrying my attack.
Grunting I kick him in the torso to have more space taking advantage at how opened he is right now I tried to do a horizontal attack this time I hit him, sending him flying away and hitting a wall, making a hole with smoke coming from the impact.
Still standing in a fighting stance I could see a shadowy figure walking in the smoke his left arm in the side where I just hit him while his right was carrying his polearm. He glares at me and then he chuckles.
"Hmmm…To be a human I'll admit that your way of fighting is…impressive." The Unholy Death Knight praised. "You'll be really useful in our army, human."
Grunting, I rest my hammer on my shoulder. "Thanks for the offer, but I refuse," I answered coldly getting another chuckle for him.
"And who said I was making an offer, human?" The Death Knight says. "Even if you don't like it, your lifeless body will join the Scourge!" He roared.
"Bring it on, rotten meat!" I taunted making him roared angrily at me and started to charge at me again.
Jumping out of the way, the Death Knight stabbed his polearm in the floor, ready to take advantage, I rushed forward only for him to kick me and sending me on the floor.
Raising my head still on the floor, I see the Death Knight taking out his polearm, the Death Knight rushed again, jumping in the air, the tip of the polearm facing my torso, ready to stab me.
I rolled out of the way, just in time for him only to stab the ground. Roaring angrily he tries to take again his polearm. I stand up taking my hammer and rushed forward ready to break his skull.
Surprising the Death Knight let out an animal roar and break his polearm in half, he turns around and swing his polearm(?) trying to get a vertical attack, fortunately, I turn my hammer into horizontal ready to block the attack. Luckily I barely blocked the attack, the polearm hitting the handle of my hammer, but, unfortunately, the swing was so powerful that it force me to stand in one knee.
"I'LL TEAR YOU APART, HUMAN!" The Death Knight threaten using more of his strength making me groan a little in pain.
Gritting my teeths. I tried to find an opening, looking at his right side bloody, were my hammer hit, I use my strength to push him back, finally standing up, still our weapons locked, glaring daggers at each other his green shiny eyes meeting my gray/green eyes.
"I'll cut your insides, annoying human." The Death Knight grunted while I turn my head to the side.
"Ever heard of mouthwash!?" I said trying to breathe, jeez his mouth stinks like shit!
Before the Death Knight could come to a retort I kick him to his right side, making him stumble to the side, he falls to the floor before he could stand up, I smashed the hammer to his stomach, making him spit green blood. Taking advantage, I raise my hammer to his face ready to smash it.
"Any last words, Death Knight?"
"F-Fuck…y-you!" The Death Knight cursed. "I HOPE YOU AN YOUR FAMILY DIE IN THE HANDS OF THE SCO-"
SPLASH!
Finishing the life of the Death Knight…I don't think I should say how he is now…the only thing you need to know is that there's a lot of green blood on the floor and in my shirt…I need to wash later.
"IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT, HUMAN?!" An unwelcome voice yelled, turning to my right I could see the Val'kyr parrying with a light spear one of Griselda attacks, glaring behind the helmet.
"No! I'm just warming up!" Griselda says.
"I'll admit, you're really a worthy opponent." The Val'kyr suddenly says. "You'll be useful for the Scourge, human."
"You wish." A familiar voice says Xenovia runs behind the Val'kyr ready to slash her in half. The Val'kyr push away Griselda and turns to block Xenovia's attack.
"Nice try." The Val'kyr taunted. But then Xenovia smirked.
"I knew you would do something like that," Xenovia says before the Val'kyr could come with something she-
DDOOOONNN!
-smashed into a building thanks to the [Excalibur Destruction]
"I-Impossible! Getting defeated by a bunch of humans…" The Val'kyr muttered. "I'M NOT GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN! ALL OF YOU GOING ARE GOING TO-"
SHUNK!
"-D-Die…" Surprising Griselda rushed forward stabbing her katana in the Val'kyr chest. Taking out the sword, the Val'kyr fallen to her knees touching her deadly wound, she wasn't bleeding since she is a spectre.
Suddenly she lets an high-pitched scream, like of an angry ghost making us cover our ears suddenly she started to shine more and more making us close our eyes too. The scream was so powerful that it destroyed even windows from the buildings.
Finally she vanished in a flash of light, leaving only her armor and white dust from her meaning that she is killed.
"We did it…" Xenovia says, after a few minutes of silence.
"Yes! Oh! Thank you, God for giving us another chance to live! Amen!" Irina prayed.
"We are not done yet." I suddenly say making the two young exorcists turn to me with questioning looks.
"If you're talking about the zombies that we're banging the doors, we killed them when we finished the ghouls," Xenovia stated.
"No, we are not done yet," Griselda says too. "This was just the easy part, now we are going for the Lich," Griselda stated.
"B-But where is he?!" Irina exclaimed. "This place is huge!"
"We could ask the people that is inside the church," Xenovia says pointing to the church. "Maybe they have his ubication."
"Good idea, let's go, team," Griselda says.
We walked to the church damn the doors have some scratches heck, even holes…but something is wrong.
"This is weird…" I suddenly said making the three ladies stop on their tracks.
"What is so weird Jarvan?" Griselda asks.
"If they want something inside the church, why the Death Knight or the Val'kyr destroyed the door?" I say. "I mean they have the firepower to break the church in half."
"…You're right." Griselda says. In a thinking position.
"Maybe they didn't try to attack the church, maybe they are-"
BANG!
We turn around in fighting position just in time to see two priests running away. Griselda then takes one by the collar ready to ask her thoughts.
"What's happening?!" Griselda asks.
"P-Please! Let me go! I want to live!" The priest says.
"Oi, the lady here asked you a question, if I were you then I would be worried more about the woman in front of you," I say.
"P-Please! You need to save us!" Suddenly the priest pleaded.
"Save you from who?" Irina asks this time.
"T-The L-Lich!" The priest answered making our eyes widen in horror.
"What! The Lich is inside the church?!" Griselda says tightening her grip on the collar.
"Y-Yes! We couldn't get out since they were a lot of Scourge outside. They were making sure we don't get away!"
"Dammit! They were defending the church so the Lich could do whatever the hell is doing inside! We need to go now!" I say.
"Alright! Let's get going! We have a Lich to slain right now!" Griselda says pulling away the priest and running the church.
Following from behind we could see a lot of dead bodies more Scourge than humans, it seems that the Scourge started the party long time ago.
But now, it's our turn to start the party again.
AAAAND CUT! That's the first Chapter from There mut be always a Lich King!
First of all, I have to say I'm sorry if I make Xenovia or Griselda Ooc I hope I didn't it's just that I feel that are Ooc.

DrakePL- Aww! Thanks for your fav! It means too much to me!
DraigTrueEmperor9- Hahaha! I don't mean that type of dark histories not the emo type, what I'm trying to say is more like a serious type of history in short words, more action and less funny. But still, thanks for your review!
Now that I answered your reviews! I'm going to add something too, something I called: ScourgePedia. This is going to appear in some chapters if I mention a new type of undead. If you didn't understand You'll find out here!
ScourgePedia:
Zombie: Zombies are variant of the undead. They have reanimated corpses who have not yet completed the transition into the "true" undeath from of ghouls They are dangerous if they are more than 20. Rank: Low-class
Ghouls: The final evolution of a zombie, ghouls have great stamina and revel in combat with living beings. Ghouls also are ravenous cannibals who can replenish their power or health by devouring the flesh of fallen warriors, friend and foe alike and like zombies they can be dangerous if they team up with more ghouls. Rank: Medium-class
Skeletons: Skeletons are mindless undead created through necromancy. Most skeletons are raised from battlefields and thus are often seen still clothed in rotting garments and rusting armor, some skeletons still fight with weapons they died clutching, others they use magic and like the ghouls and Zombies they can be dangerous if they are joining with more Skeletons. Rank: Low-class.
Death Knight: Are fallen warriors that wields dark magic and runeforged weapons and they can only be revived by a Val'kyr, it is also stated that if a Val'kyr revives a human with a Sacred Gear and turns him into a Death Knight, then the Death Knight can use it in his fight. They are three types of Death Knight. Rank: Medium-High-Ultimate.
Blood Death Knight: By far the ones that can receive a lot of damage and deliver too, as the name says they use the power of blood to keep them alive, if they drink blood they can be healed but if they exaggerate they can turn into berzerk mode, killing everything on his way and if they are close to dying their berserk modes activates too.
Unholy Death Knight: The Unholy Death Knight are Death Knights that fights summoning minions, also in their weapons they have a green-aura shining on the tip of the blade that means that the blade is corrupted, if you somehow get hit by it, then you would have a deadly disease, that can kill you if the disease is not treated fast, it is known that if somehow a Death Knight hurts an Angel, then it wouldn't affect them, but they would slow down their regeneration.
Frost Death Knight: The Frost Death Knight are the most common among the three of them like the name says, they have the ability to control the ice at their will their ice is so powerful that common fire can't melt it, only the fire of dragons and Phenex Clan. Another thing about them is that they are always the guards of Lichs.
Val'kyr: They are a type of undead Valkyries and the most recent addition to the armies of the Scourge (When the Lich King was still alive) They act as the Lich King's agents in the human world, they also are the only ones who can make a Death Knight, they are two types of Val'kyr. White Val'kyr or a Black Val'kyr, both of them use dark magic and light magic. Rank: High (White Val'kyr)-(Black Val'kyr) Ultimate.
And that's it! Some of you are going to say maybe that I forgot the Lich or the Necromancers, I didn't put them because they still don't make an appearance in the history. So that's all I hope you enjoyed the history and also! I hope you like the ScourgePedia! (Yes, I know a lame name…) before we end I want to say something since I made three types of DeathKnights they will have some difference between them example: Unholy DK: Green shiny eyes, Frost: DK Blue shiny eyes, Blood DK: Red shiny eyes.
Without nothing else to say I'll see you guys in the next chapter!
-Peace!
