I must be honest, my first thougth was well, it's late, I am incapable of thought, and then a few sentences later was practically on the floor laughing my head off. (I pity my roomates as it's like 2:00 AM or something and we have finals tomorrow!!)
Please, more, I NEED MORE!!!!
Anyway, it's about time I try this story tellin stuff ;)
The cold air sent needles down OnlyPass_magic's spine. It would take her some time to become accustomed to the frigid weather typical of the barbarian homeland. She desperately wished that Tyrael had given her some kind of warning before she walked through that portal. Though she had become accustomed to discomfort through her many battles with the demonic hordes, the chill still hit her like a blow from an ogre maul. That chill.....the chill brought back a horible memory. She had blindly charged through a dark hole in the wall of Tal Rasha's tomb, onl to be confronted by the vile countenance of Duriel.....
But that seemed like ages ago. She had fought many enemies since, but none had come so near to bringing about her death than that awful slug.
Now she stood at the open gates of Harrogoth, and prepared herself for battle once again. Her mission was simple, to slay the vile overseer of the siege on Harrogoth, Shenk. She would not be alone in this fight. Among her companions was a druidic wolfman, and an amazon from her very own clan.
Both OnlyPass_Magic and her companions were now not only battle hardened, but quite powerful. She had honed her senses to the point that it almost seemed as though she was able to predict the actions of her foes.
They fought through hordes of demons, enslaved by their dark masted, until finally, perched upon a small hill, they spotted the dark, misformed shape of their adversary. The Hulking brute carried a whip the length of three men and as he whirledit about, he beat his minions into a frenzy. The first to fall was the amazon, victim of a suicidal freak who exloded as the amazon attempted to jab her spear into its twisted form. The barbarian leaped upon the hill to battle shen himself, but it soon became apparent that he was outmatched. OnlyPass_Magic tried with all her might to reach the hilltop, but she got there only in time to see Shenk mutilate the last recognizable bits of her companion.
She raised her sheild and parried a blow from the tendrilous weapon and lunged, buring her sword deep into the demons chest. Bloodlust began to take her, but before her anger could gain total controll, she was subjected to a barrage from dozens of demonic catapults...
She awoke lying next to the body of her foe. Dazed, she rubbed her eyes, and as the world returned to focus she saw her fate.
The barrage had created a blockade, preventing her from returning to Harogoth for the time being...there was nowhere to go but onward.
Seeing that the enemy was very strongly concentrated in the highlands beyond, she used her skills to create illusions in the enemies minds. She moved undetected in this manner until, above the din of a hundred howling demons, she heard a faint cry of "help!"
Could this be one of the barbarian wariors left unaccounted for after the last attack of Harrogoth? She waited until she could use the cover of darkness to her advantage and crept silently towards the place she heard the cry. As she peaked from behind a large pile of rocs she saw a crude wooden pen guarded by a huge armoured beast with a familiar small Impish demon perched in a box upon the creatures back. Inside the cage were a number of bloody beaten warriors. She burst forth from behind the rocks and slay the monster and, in one swift motion, decapitated the fiend which had been upon its back.
She busted through the rickety gate and awoke the barbarians one by one, then handed them a scroll of town portal and crept off into the darkness, as she knew that the brilliant light from the potal would surely attract the attention of nearby demons.
Her journey continued until she reached an immensly tall wall of ice with a hole near the bottom barely large emough for her to fit with all of her armour. She slid through the hole and found herself in a crystaline passage, well lit by torches, obviously of demonic construction. She ventured into the cavern and met many a demonic foe along the way. Each dispatched just as the hundreds and thousands had before.
She came upon an ara where the cave descended deeper into the earth. There she saw an ancient subteranean river, long frozen. As with neary everywhere in the light forsaen world, demons came forth to do battle. She began to believe that she would spend the rest of her life battling these demons, and then realized just how short her life could be....
Her thoughts were interupted, however, when the sight of what appeared to be a young woman frozen in a pillar of ice. She moved closer to get a better view, but suddenly she was slamed by behind with such force that she rolled across the frozen cavern flloor. She collected herself as quicly as she could and when the next blow came, she was able to roll with it. She struc back at the beast, obviously much more powerful than the similar hairy creatures she was used to fighting. The blow tore off the creatures left arm above the elbow. Bluish blood spurted forth and the creatures animalistic wail caused stalagmites to fall to the floor.
OnlyPass_magic's finishing blow nearly removed the creatures head, and it let free one last gurgle before falling still and silent.
She ran forward to the girl and was surprised to see that she was still alive.
"Hero, Nihlathak did this to me." she said
OnlyPass_magic swung her sword at the ice ntrapping the girl, but as she struck it the blade rebounded, leaving not even the slightest scratch on the surface. Some magic holds her trapped here, she thought.
The girl explained that she was Anya, and that only Malah could create a potion to release her from the prison of ice. OnlyPass_magic quickly read the runes on her portal scroll and went to town, where Malah hurriedly prepare the thawing potion.
As Anya dran the few drops in the flask, the ice began to melt and steam around her...
OnlyPass_Magic helped her through the portal and dropped her of at Malah's to recover....
Now...where to find that snake Nihlathak???
