Azeroth? Ya, that's a Cool Place

"What are you talking about!" The king says.

Lyonia laughs, cackles almost. The smirk on her face did not match the fear in her eyes. She was not doing this. Arthas was controlling her.

She freezes Cashlas and the king to the ground and dives towards me. I notice Cash and the king immediately start hacking away at the ice.

I just needed to stall her. I didn't want to hurt her though, cause Arthas was making her do this.

I notice the king free of the ice and he goes and starts to help Cashlas.  I narrowly dodge a stab and then counterattack.

When both of them are free we all charge and tackle her, trying to snap out of Arthas' control.

"I won't be free! You've  dammed me! He will find and kill both if us because of you!" After that she blacks out.

We all stand up and keep a close eye on her to make sure she doesn't attack anyone.

We hear a couple of loud growls behind us and turn to see maybe ten wild worgen surrounding us.

They slowly take a few steps in, then all charge us at once. I summon a ghoul but it's quickly disposed of.

I stab one of the worgen but I get tackled to the ground. I'm about to kick it off when it bites down on my hand, hard.

I give out a yell of pain and grab my sword, cutting it's head right off. I push the body off and stand up. I notice most of the worgen dead. The final one is killed by Cashlas.

I wince. "That bite hurt a whole lot. Wait a second..." I suddenly swear knowing that if you're bit, you turn into one.

"You must leave now. We can't have somebody who could turn into a worgen at any moment here." The king says.

"Isn't there a cure or something?" I ask him.

He shakes his head. "Only once you're a worgen. I'm sorry, but you must leave before you turn into one." The king says.

I nod, walking out of the clearing. I wave to the others. I walk into the woods where I set up a small camp and a tent. I go in and lay down after some wolf that I cooked up.

I awake to the sounds of voices, and people running. I quickly grab my sword and walk out if the tent. I hear people yelling to run, followed by howls.

I sprint in the direction of the noise. I come upon a clearing where two night elves are surrounded by worgens. I see one if them turn in a lion. Wait a lion?

I can still see they won't make it. I notice they both have cuts and bruises. I'm assuming they were ambushed. I notice the girl start healing herself and the other night elf.

Right when the worgens go in and attack, I summon some ghouls to block them. Then I pull one to me. I quickly kill it and charge into battle.

"Go ahead and bite me! I'm already infected! I yell, getting in the worgens way. I basically am a human shield for the 2 night elves.

My ghouls took down some, but not enough. I keep cutting down worgen, taking multiple bites.

At the end, I'm so weak that I fall down. I gasp for air and all of the bites burn. The two night elves run to my side.

One tries to hold the other back but she runs over and immediately starts to cast a healing spell.

She casts it over and over, and with each cast, I feel myself getting stronger. After I'm healed they help me stand up and walk over to sit next to a tree.

"We need to leave him, there's nothing we can do to stop him from turning." One says.

"We can probably help him until then." The other says.

"Then what? Just put him down when he turns.?" He says.

I can't hear the rest of the conversation because right then I feel hair starting to grow on my arms body.

"Go. I'm starting to turn." I whisper. I groan as I feel claws come out of my fingers. Then, I fully turn into a worgen. I howl but still have control.

It must be because I'm dead, that I can control the powers of the worgen. I need to track down the others and the two night elves.

I start sniffing the ground looking for a track, then I find one. I run off in that direction, and eventually hear the sound of people running and voices once again.

I see them up ahead, and call out to them, "Wait!"

They turn and see fear on their faces. No this isn't what I wanted to do, I want to be human again!

I feel my claws retracting and fur disappearing. I call out again and they stop this time.

I reach them, out of breath but human. "How did you?.." the guy asks.

I shrug, "must be that I'm a death knight." He says. They take a step back. "Don't worry, I'm a free one. But I'm still a worgen, but I have control over myself. Trust me!" I say.

They warily come closer. "My name is Damalia, and this is Tarindellis." She says.

"Bartim, Human death knight turned worgen." I say with a bow and a smile. Damalia laughs at that.

"I need to find the others." I say to myself.

"Who?" Tarindellis says.

"My group. I thought I had to leave cause I got bit. Turns out I didnt." I said.

Dam and Tarin nod in agreement. "Let's go then." They both said.

I turn into worgen form and lead the way to where the portal put us. Soon I smell meat cooking, and I run faster, wanting to eat meat.

I come upon the clearing to see the others. Lyonia screams and Cashlas draws his daggers.

"Wait!" I say, shifting back to human form.

"Bart?" Lyonia asks. I nod, "I can control my worgen powers. It might be due to me being dead." I said to her.

She nods, "Seems legit, though it makes no sense. Who are those two?" She asks, looking and Dam and Tarin.

"This is Damalia and Tarindellis. I saved them a little bit ago." I said. " Cool. I assume you're welcome to join our group if you like." She says to them.

They nod, "That would be great." Dam says.

Hey guys! I just wanted to thank you for over 100 reads! I posted my prologue 2 days ago and I'm amazed at how many people have read the story! I'll probably post the next chapter later today.
