Azeroth? Ya, that's a Cool Place

Escaping the Scourge

Hey guys! I'm planning on making longer chapters now! Thanks for reading and supporting!

I poke my head out into the hall. The routine skeleton patrol walks by my room and I slowly go through the door.

I hide in the shadows as I make my way to the exit of the citadel. I turn a corner and come face to face with a 3 skeleton patrol.

"Where are you going?" It says in its annoying voice.

"I'm leaving." I say.

It and it's 2 buddies charge me with swords held high. I quickly slice it's head off and freeze the other two.

I sprint from there on out, until I reach the giant doors of the citadel. I push them out and run out into the cold. I keep walking through Northrend until I come back upon the camp.

I feel horrible that I did this, even if I was controlled. As I'm searching for survivors the wind picks up and snow starts to fall.

I don't have a good feeling about this...

"Seize him!" I hear someone roar.

I draw my sword as a bunch of alliance soldiers are ressurected. I sprint through the camp, only attacking when needed. I dodge a sword and cut the head off of a rotting soldier.

I run until I see a large group, and in the center is the general. I see him order them to attack. I dodge the rotting humans and go straight for their general.

As I get close he tries to bite me. I dodge and decapitate him with ease. I push through the rest of them and spawn ghouls to protect me.

They quickly rise up and attack the zombies. I grunt as I take a long gash on my arm from a sword.

I freeze a group right before they surround me and finally get out of the camp.

"Fools! You let him escape! We will find you!" Arthas roars. I collapse maybe a mile away from the camp, gasping for breath. My heart feels like it is going to explode and my legs and arms burn.

I stand up after a couple minutes of resting and try to summon a mount. I summon an undead dragon and climb on.

I have to get to Dalaran and find a mage. Then I should try to get to Stormwind. I fly in the direction I think Dalaran is.

The city soon comes into view, and I fly into alliance territory. The guards greet me, and I do the same in return. I find a mage and pay him 5 gold for a portal to Stormwind.

"Have fun" he says. I jump through and find myself in a tower. I walk down and pass an Outlands portal and then I'm outside.

I realize something is off. I feel ice forming on the outside of the tower. All of a sudden, a death knight lands behind me.

I quickly turn and our swords clash. I dodge a slash to the leg. I try to freeze his legs to the ground but he is too quick.

He lands a cut on my arm. I grunt, going to slice at his chest but change the course of my sword at the last second, landing a huge cut on his leg.

I hear a gasp and he stumbles back. Then the other death knight charges at me. I duck under his blade and kick them over.

They go flying back and hit the ground... hard. I walk over to them, pointing my sword at them.

"Wait" a females voice says. She takes off her helmet, putting her hands up in defense.

Before me is a night elf death knight. "He made me do it, he said I could be free if I brought you back." She says.

"Then how are you free right now?" I ask.

"He was foolish enough to believe me when I said I'd be better at catching you free. Really I just wanted to leave." She responds.

"I'm Lyonia" She says.

"Sounds like a blood elf name." I say.

"My family didn't like night elves, so they wanted to be like blood elves. Not fun being a night elf with a blood elves name." She says.

I nod, and help her up. "I'm Bartim. Obviously you know that I escaped from the Lich King." I say.

"Really?" She asked me.

I nod. "What were you before?" I ask her.

"A hunter. You?"

"Paladin. Huge difference between the dark and light though. Turns out you're still a hunter though." I say.

She looks confused. "What do you mean?"

"Well you hunt the ones that escape."

She nods, "I suppose so, though I liked having a pet and stuff." She said.

I hear a familiar voice as I enter the Trade District. "Bart?"

I turn and see my friend Cashlas.  He was a night elf rogue.

"Hey!" I say.

"You just get here too?" He asked. "Few hours ago. Just escaped from the Lich King." I say.

"Who's that?" He asks me.

"Another person running from Arthas. Who also, just tried to capture me and bring me back to the Lich King..." I say.

"Ah, so, what do we do here?" He asks me.

"To be honest, I'm not sure." And that's when we hear the alarm bells and screams.
