Prevue: The Barons Attack.

Baron Rivendare charged top speed at the elf and swung his sword full force at him. Despite thinking he had him off guard the elf preempted the strike and dodged the strike. Annoyed he circled around and stared the elf and dwarf. This was going to be a pain.

“I am amazed elf. How did you know? I was sure that staff hid me perfectly.” He said.

“The smell of Death hangs heavy on you foul Demon.” Legolas said.

“How is that thing talking?” Gimli asked.

“Now now I am not a demon. I AM UNDEAD! NOW JOIN ME!”

With that Rivendare fired a Death Coil at Legolas. Legolas avoided the attack and upon looked to see what would have happened was shocked to see the ground decaying. Gimli rushed at him with his axe at ready. Rivendare challenged this rush with one of his own. With his Deathcharger's speed and his strength he knocked the axe from the dwarf’s hands. Legolas fired an arrow at him just to have it parried right before hitting its mark. Rivendare rushed at the elf and slashed at him. Legolas tried to avoid his attacks however suffered a cut to his arm before getting out of his flurry.

Legolas looked at his arm. It was a very nasty cut, deep too. There was no way he could use his bow or one of his two knifes. He put his bow in its holder and grabbed one of the two Elf knifes he had. By now Gimli had recovered and had his axe back in his hands. The two of them tried to combine forces but even so they couldn’t take the mounted undead knight. The two backed away from him.

“Gah what is with this fiend? We can take on an army of orc's yet faced with one thing that is supposed to be dead we don’t stand a chance?” Gimli said.

He chuckled. “It would seem that way. Now you will soon join me. Who knows? Maybe we will be friends.”

Right as he was going to attack them again a human rode up to him and attacked him. Although he was able to parry the attack he could see he was a cut above them. The two started exchanging blows. All Legolas and Gimli could do is watch the melee before them. After a while Rivendare broke off the Fight and ran back.

“Who are you?”

“I am Aragorn and you aren’t welcome here.” said the human.

“Well you might not. BUT THEY WILL!”

With that he raised his sword and with a flash of light about twenty corpses rose to life. Each one looked ready to kill in a heart beat. Legolas looked horrified. The elves always respected life and this. This was an abomination.

“If you live I would like to fight you Aragorn.” With that a skeletal gryphon came down and picked him up.

They were surrounded by the undead. Orcs were one thing but now something that doesn’t feel pain and isn’t technically alive? Was it even possible to kill them? Right when they were about to find out they herd a haunting melody. As soon as it started the undead grabbed their heads and started screaming in agony. Shortly after arrows started raining down on the undead. Each one seemed to kill its undead mark. As soon as the song ended not one undead was left.

“What just happened,” asked Aragorn?

“That would be me.” Said an echoed voice. They looked up to see what looked like an elf only she was blue and her eyes were red. “I am Lady Sylvanas Windrunner. And my pray has ended up here.”
