Part 1-
Yurnero is a young warrior in the Flame-Blade-Clan, which is well known by skilled swordsmen in the lands of Kalimdor. While people forget what's their real name long time ago, these swordsmen are being called The Blademaster. The Blademaster are well known with their WW, Mirror Image, Critical Strike and the fearsome ultimate skill, Bladesotrm.
"Look at that weak ass, training alone under the tree again..."
"Oh, the blademaster who doesn't know how to WW."
"he can't create mirror images too LOL"
"He doesn't know Bladestorm either for sure..."
"Of course! How can a weak ass who doesn't know ww and mirror image able to perform the ultimate skill of our clan?"
"LOL, he can only do 2x critical strike, that's level 1 standard?"
"What a shame of our clan..."
Compare to other blademasters, Yurnero is a slow learner and having difficulty in learning WW and Mirror Image. He becomes a mockery among the same age since he was young.
"Be steady, and calm Yurnero. Trust in yourself, don't be afraid, you will find your own path one day."
Whenever Yurnero got upset, there is always one man will comes and comfort him, the Blademaster Clan Leader.
One day, Yurnero training hard alone under the tree as usual.
"Please, this way, Prophet."
He saw a guest company by the Clan Leader.
Furion, the Prophet comes to the tribe for the Sentinel alliance.
"Scourge is gathering a big army and doing somethings unusual recently, I sense the war is coming. We shall be united to against them."
"Hmm..." Clan Leader nodded.
"Thanks for your information and concerns, Prophet. We are The Blademaster, we do not fear those ghouls. We can handle any challenge by ourselves" The elders reject the invitation.
"Do not hesitate to inform us if Scourge is coming to you." Furion left the message before he leaves.
---------------------------------------------------------------
2 weeks later, the Flame-Blade tribe was swarm by ghouls.
"There are too many of them !!!!"
"Everyone use Bladestorm!!!"
"These ghouls are unusual, they are different from what we'd faced before, they are insanely tough and strong!!!"
"Arh.........!"
"Comes behind me Yurnero!"
"I still can fight!"
"Listen, I got an important mission for you. Take this scroll, go to the North of the Kalimdor, finds Furion at the Sentinel Alliance and tells him what happen here."
"No....!"
"Listen Yurnero, I've observe you since long time ago, you are different from most of us. You are persevere, humble, have an antiseptic mind and you are talented. Remember the what is the first skill you've learned? This scroll handed down to each gen of clan leader, from the 1st Blademaster who creates those skills. The real ultimate skill is written inside, I believe you are the one who able to understand and master it one day. Now go! Tells Furion about the unusual amount of ghouls here!"
The Clan Leader push away Yurnero and get himself in the battle again.
"Greetings..." Nevermore raise up his hand, and Requiem of Souls is land.
This is the last scene shown in Yurnero's eyes before he leaves.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Bang........!!!!"
Yurnero woke up by a big crashing sound. This is the 3rd day Yureno on his journey.
"Somethings happen there."
Follow the source of the sound, Yurnero saw an old troll shaman is fighting with few Golems.
"He needs help." Yurnero takes out his blade.
"Thanks for your help, these magic immune Golems almost kill me. Oh no, you are hurt!"
"Don't worry about it."
"Please come to my house. Take a rest and let me give you some medical treatment."
"Thanks for your kindness, but I don't have time for that."
"Hmm.... Alright, young man. Take this scroll. I will teach you how to summon a healing totem from it, so you can heal yourself anytime...."
3 hours later...
"Hmm, now you're able to summon the totem."
"Amazing, I can't believe I did it! Although it's not as strong as yours. LOL"
"Remember, the power of the healing ward is all base on how strong your spirit is. I believe you will be stronger than me one day. "
"It's the time for me to go I guess, thank you."
"Farewell young warrior, may the best luck with you."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Yurnero reach a big forest today.
"Nice weather."
"Argh, Argh, Argh,......"
"Ghouls!!!" With all the anger, Yurnero charges to them.
"Argh, Argh, Argh, Argh, Argh, Argh, Argh, Argh......"
Behind the weeds, it's not only 3 ghouls, but many of them.
"Oh no...."
No enemy found, and Yurnero was damaged.
"What is that?"
But, there is no time for Yurnero to find it out, the ghouls are coming to him.
"Healing Wards!"
Yurnero summons the healing wards that he learned from the old troll shaman, trying to look for a chance to get away. But less than 3 seconds, the healing wards was destroyed.
"Damn! It's not gonna be worse than this." While having hard time fighting with the ghouls, Yurnero saw a creature appears behind him. It's Anub'seran, the Nerubian Weaver who destroyed the healing ward,
"Make your choice." Nerubian Weaver disappears again.
"I'm not gonna die here!!! It's my last chance to get away after this." Yurnero plans to land his last skill before the wounds increase.
"What a rash move, young man." A voice sounds beside Yurnero.
"Not again, another invisible creature?"
Then, Yurnero feels something flows on him, and he saw a treant appears right beside of him.
"Stay near to the trees, do not attack."
"Who are you?"
"I'm Rooftrellen, The Treant Protector. Do not worry, I'm your friend. The ghouls will not see you now."
"Thanks for your help..." Knowing it's not an enemy, Yurnero feels relief. "What's this?" Yurnero looks at the strange leafs on his body.
"It's Living Armor, it will heals you. As you see, there are too many of them, and more are coming. It's unwise to face them right now."
"They're still looking for me. Let's get out of here now."
"Remember, you will reveal yourself once you start to cross the bridge. Cut off the rope when you reached the other side. Be quick, you know Nerubian Weaver is fast."
"You not coming?"
"I have something else to do here. Follow the North, Furion is waiting for you at the Sentinel Alliance."
"Alright...!!!"
Once Yurnero steps on the bridge, the ghouls are aware of him.
"They are still far, I will make it"
But, just about to reach the end, Neburian Wearver appears again infront of him.
"We'll see."
"Damn it!" Yurnero draws his blade.
"Forest Sentinel!" Neburian Wearver stuuned by the forest spirit. It's Treant Protector, who covering Yurnero from behind. "Go!"
"Perfect timing!" Yurnero crossed the bridge finally. "Taste this!" Yurnero cuts off the rope and destroy the bridge, looking the Neburian Wearver and the ghouls falls.
But, the Neburian Wearver disappears in the air and reappear at the other side again.
"That's insane... I would have no chance to survive if the Treant Protector doesn't come in time." Something starts growing in Yurnero's heart. “I need to be stronger.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Isn't that a blademaster?!!"
"Yea. I heard their tribe was attacked by the scourge 2 weeks ago, and none survived."
"Lower your voice, he might heard it"
The Crossroad, is the largest town in the Barren, aptly named for crossing of all the main road because of its central location in the Land of Kalimdor. As such, this small crossing is the usually the place where travellers and traders stopover.
"Yurnero!!!"
"Uncle Barg!"
"OMG, It's good to see you! Thanks God you are fine!!!"
Barg is a regular itinerant merchant of Flame-Blade-Clan, who knows Yurnero since he was young.
"I heard about the news of your tribe, is everyone alright?"
"......... I don't know. I hope all of them will be alright....."
"Try to take it easy. It is getting dark. Now, come to my tent and take a rest, you must be exhausted after all these days."
This is the first night Yurnero feels safe when he lie down. Soon, Yurnero sank into a deep sleep.
The next morning.
"Aw, you just came yesterday, I hope you can stay for few more days. Are you sure you are okay?"
"I'm alright Uncle Barg. Clan Leader had gave me a mission, I don't want to disappoint him."
"So you are going to the North right? Hmm.... you have to pass through the Raining Forest."
"Raining Forest?"
"Yes. It's big and it rain almost a whole day there. Dark, cold and wet. It's not easy to go through it if you're not prepared. Come, take this rain cape and .......... let me see ..........this!"
"What is this?"
"This is a Heat Stone, stone from the volcano. It can be fired up and will never get wet. You will need this to keep you warm in there."
"Thank you so much, Uncle Barg!"
"I'm glad you are fine Yurnero. Be strong and be careful."
"I will... Good bye, Uncle Barg."
"Good bye, Yurnero."
"You've grown up Yurnero. Go forward with courage, your destiny is waiting."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Damm, it's getting heavier." Yurnero walking slowly in the heavy rain. He is in the Raining Forest. "I will wait the rain become lighter."
Yurnero decided to stop under a big plant and wait for a while. He light up the heating stone to warm himself.
While felling bored, Yurnero takes out the scroll given by his Clan Leader and open it.
"Windwalk..... Failed....."
"Mirror Image..... Failed....."
"Critical Strike...... I still remember the key: 'Focus on every move of your enemy, there must be a weakness. Strike it as hard as you can.' ...... Sigh, I wish I have strength to deal 4x critical too....... But I can only deal 2x critical."
"Blade Storm..... My sense of balance is good, hehe."
"Hmm... What is this? A.................... chant?............ Ah, the rain is getting lighter, I should move now."
Yurnero continue his journey after a small break.
"Dark and wet, I hate this.... I need to find a shelter before the night falls."
Rain keeps on, and the day getting darker. Finally Yurnero found a big rock on the cliff, there seems has an empty space under the rock.
"Nice!" Yurnero light up the heating stone again when he reach there.
And he found there are 2 Fel Beasts and a Ghost under the rock.
"Er......... is this your home? ............... Sorry."
"Arg!!!" "Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
"Why I am so unlucky....."
Yurnero starting to run, but the freezing breath from the Ghost slow him down. Yurnero draws his blade and force to fight.
In a wrong step, Yurnero slip and fall. The Fel Beast pounces on him.
"Arg.....!!!" Yurnero is in danger because another Fel Beast is coming to him.
An arrow form the dark save Yurnero in time.
While Yurnero kicked away the Fel Beast on him and trying to get up, some one pulls him into the grass.
Behind the grass, it is an elf.
"Thank you! You are.....?"
"Shh~~~~~~~~Quite!!!"
A moment later, the Ghost and the Fel Beasts left.
“Huuu~ thanks again."
"You shouldn't disturb the wild."
"I was just looking for a shelter before the night, I didn't know they were there."
"Stupid... Follow me."
"........ My name is Yurnero. What's your name?"
"I'm just a ranger. I know who you are." The elf seems cool.
"............."
"Woah!" After a short walk, Yurnero saw a large open space covered by the higher ground beside the main road.
"Who build this?"
"It's a natural shelter. People take 2 days to pass through the Raining Forest normally, and this is the place where they'll stay for a night. Don't you know this?"
"So it's a gift, things will never go to the worst isn't it." Yurnero takes out he Flaming Stone and try to fire it up, he doesn't aware the emotion in the eyes of the elf.
"Isn't your flint got wet just now?"
"No, this is a Flaming Stone, it will never get wet. Look!" Yurnero fire up the Flaming Stone.
"Oh... amazing."
"My uncle gave it to me, it's very useful and convenient in the wet and cold environment like this."
"Well, it's really rare stone."
"Try to hold it in your hands, the stone is always warm." Yurnero put out the fire, and trying to pass it to the elf.
"......................"
"Try it, it's amazing!" Yurnero insist.
"......................."
The elf take over the Flaming Stone and hold it in her hands.
"Feel it?"
"Yes, it's warm...."
"Good morning."
"Good morning....." Dewdrops glisten in the morning light, it's a sunny morning in the Rain Forest.
"I'm going to north, and you?"
"I will bring you to the Sentinel Alliance."
"Really??!!! Wait, how you know my destination?!"
"I'm came from the Sentinel Alliance. Furion had inform all the allies about you, Blademaster."
"............."
"Since I'm heading back to the camp, I will lead you there as well."
"............."
"Back to earth, we shall move before the rain comes again."
"You are Sentinel ally?!!! Why didn't you tell me about this last night!"
"............"
"Hey. wait for me."
--------------------------------------------------------
Few days later.
"Why we are not on the main road?"
"We will travel by the river, it is faster and less troublesome."
Yurnero and the elf reach by a river in the evening.
"Do you have a boat?" Yurnero looks around.
"No. We will make a raft."
"Easy job, Leave it to me!"
A moment later.....
"Help........!!"
Yurnero drown because of his lousy raft.
"Are you stupid????!!!!" The elf saved him again.
"cough... cough...."
In the night.
"Nice strenght you got there, it makes the work easier, even you are stupid."
"In fact, I might be the weakest Blademaster in our clan. Haha, I can only deals 2x critical strike........ If I have the strength to deal more damage, to protect my clan........" Yurnero looks depressed.
".........I can feel you..................Well, strength is not everything in the battle."
"Oh?"
"We elves, don't have the natural strength like the other races. But we are better in ranged battle. We are lighter and faster."
"Become faster?"
"Yes. For example, if you can't deal more damage in one strike, why not be more concentrate and faster to deal more strikes?"
"Hmmm........" Yurnero waves his blade thoughtfully.
"Thanks for your advise. You are such a kind person!"
"No, I am not the kind you are thinking."
"Of course you are! You saved me in the Raining Forest! Leading me to the Sentinel base! And you are encouraging me now! You joined the Sentinel to fight with the Scourge, isn't it?"
"Enough!"
Yurnero feels the anger from the eyes of the elf.
"Good night.............."
In the 3rd night by the river.
"Hey! I took your advise. Be more concentrate, faster and accurate. I think I can deal more critical strikes than before now!!!"
'He is so talented.'
"Look!" Under the moonlight, Yurnero wave his blade light and fast.
"It's beautiful.... like a ...................Blade Dance..." The elf immerse by the moves of Yurnero.
"Blade Dance? I like the name! I don't have the strenght to deal 4x critical but I have higher chance to land a critical strike now!!"
After traveling for 10 days.
"We are here. Move to the bank and we shall travel by land."
After a short walk, Yurnero and the elf reach by a big waterfall.
"It is a dead end."
"No, the Sentinel base is just below there."
"Alright, let's gooooooooo..........................!" Yurnero falls from the cliff!!!
"I am going to die......" But, Yurnero felt on the vines and hanged on a big trees, he is safe.
"Lucky me!" Yurnero cuts off the vines and get down from the tree. "Where am I?"
"Miss Elf!!!" Yurnero walks aimlessly and trying to find the elf. "I shall wait her near the waterfall."
"Stop it right there stranger!" Yurnero stopped by an elf who riding on a black panther with the glaive on her hand.
"Who are you?!!" It's Luna Moonfang, the Moon Rider.
Suddenly, everyone tenses up by a rustle in the grass.
"Are you alright, Stupid?!!!" It was the elf, coming in haste and worried.
"Traxex!"
"Luna!"
--------------------------------------------------------

Part 2-
"When we reached there, the Scourge had left. There is no any Blademaster body on the field, so I believe your clan had retreated to somewhere else safely. I'm sorry to what happened to your clan. You have done a good job, now go and rest."
Yurnero is in his rest room now, after he met Furion in the Sentinel Base.
"My village was gone......... I hope all of them are alright."
"Hi~!" Someone appears at the door, it is Jah'rakal The Troll Warlord.
"So you are the Blademaster from the FlameBlade clan, I'd heard the warriors there have great skills. My name is Jah'rakal, I'd wish to have a fight with BladeMaster since long time ago!"
"Sorry I'm not in mood now."
"Oh, come on........ Fine, it's not really a good time now........ How about a drink?? Let's go"
Jah'rakal drags Yurnero to a tavern.
"Believe me, Mangix has the best beer in the world!"
It's the tavern managed by Mangnix, the Pandaren Brewmaster in Sentinel base.
"One more, Mangix!"
"Hey, I'd slain 18 ghouls yesterday!"
"I got 20!"
"Purist, so did Lina like the flowers?"
"Where is my beer? Mangix!!"
"Here is your beer, Mr.Kardel."
"Hey Mangix, two mug here!" said Jah'rakal.
"Coming!......Oh, who is this new buddy?"
"Hi, I am Yurnero, from the FlameBlade Clan."
"Oh, a Blademaster, I'm Mangix. Take a sit and make yourself at home!"
"So your name is Yurnero. Cheers buddy!" Jah'rakal try to cheer up Yurnero. "Everything will be fine."
"Mangix, 2 wines please!"
"Oh, here they come~!" said Jah'rakal.
"Who are they?"
"The one in red is Lina Inverse and the other one is Rylai Crestfall, they come from Sentinel Human alliance. Are you interested on them? I can tell you more!"
"Not rea..."
"Let me tell you, I heard men in the army having fans club of the females here. Sorceress's fans club, Ranger's fans club, and the Elf Rider's fans club!"
"Okay..."
"Look at that man, Purist Thunderwrath. He actually likes Lina Inverse, but he is so shy. Everyone knows that, kekekekeke!"
A scream from the sky stop the good atmosphere in the tavern, it's Beastmaster's Hawk.
"The Scourge are coming!" said Beastmaster.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Where are we going?"
"Gather at The World Tree! There it is!"
"It's amazing...... I can feel the stream of life from it!"
On the high ground, there are the leaders of the alliance.
Kunkka, the Admiral from the Humans Alliance.
Furion, the Prophet from the Night Elves Alliance.
Thrall, the Far Seer from the Orcs Alliance.
"After 6 months, the Scourge are coming again. As I know, they are have a huge ghouls army that are unusually strong." said Furion.
"So, warriors of the Sentinel, follows the orders by your team leader! And do not underestimate your foes!!!" said Kunkka.
"Let's move out!!!" Under the command of Thrall, the war has begun.
"Here Yurnero!" Jah'rakal is beside the item shop.
"Yes?"
"Get your items ready before go to war. Take this Boots of Speed."
"It is just an ............... image?!! How can I wear it?"
"It is not a real item, but is the soul of it. After a long time in the battle, there are many items leave it's spirit in this world even the they were aging. With these souls, you can gains the power of these items without equipping the real one."
"Amazing...." The Boots of Speed disappear in Yurnero's hand.
"Remember, you can only equip 6 items at a time. Take few Ironwood Branches and we shall move!."
"I'm ready!"
"You will follow me Yurnero!" said Furion. "We will defend the bottom tower."
"Bottom tower?"
"There are 3 main paths to reach the World Tree from the Scourge base. And the Ancient Protector are there to protect the World Tree. Kunkka will defending the top tower, Thrall will defending the middle tower and Mirana will be leading a team as backup in the base." Furion explains briefly. "The Scourge is trying to revive The Lich King. They tried to destroy the World Tree because it weaken the power of the darkness in the Land of Kalimdor, and that's the reason why the Lich King have not been revived yet."
"Why not we just attack their base directly and destroy the Frozen Throne?"
"It's not easy, the scourge base is protecting by the Ziggurat Towers as well. Lich and 4 of his cadre shall not be underestimate.... We are almost there. Yurnero, you will follow Traxex as scouting team to prevent any shock attacks from behind. Alleria will follow me to join the battle this time."
"............................"
"Remember, your task is scouting. Do not fight and report back immediately if you see any scourges! Aiushtha, you will lead the healing team as usual. Let's go!!!!!!" Furion and the army move ahead to the tower, leaving Traxex and Yurnero behind.
"Hi miss ranger, we meet again."
"..................... we shall move now, follow me." Traxex seems cool as usual.
After a short walk.
"We will be hiding here." Traxex move herself in to the high grass, which covered by the shadow of the trees.
"Perfect!"
"Nothing else we can do?" Yurnero can't stand the bored after a moment. "Like patrolling around?"
"All you need to do is shut up and keep quite..."
"...................... come on..............."
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~~!"
"I have returned. Ah, beautiful!" Balanar, the Night Stalker stepping out from the shadow of the woods. "I sense it will be a wonderful night."
Yurnero took a deep breath. Only fools will fight Balanar in the night.
"Hmm....?" Balanar aware someone was hiding in the grass.
"Run!" said Traxex.
"Oh, let's get started!"
"Oh no, he is too fast!" Balanar is catching up Yurnero.
A fast shot from Traxex, saved Yurnero and trying to slow down Balanar.
"You call on me?" Balanar casted Void on Traxex "Then, you are mine!"
"Damm it!"
"Yaaaaa~!" Yurnero turned back to help Traxex.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. You shouldn't turn back."
"Are you kidding me? How can I leave you behind!"
"........................ So we have to fight with him I guess."
"It seems that is the only way we have."
"Fine....." Traxex send a signal in to the sky. "I'll cover you."
"I will deal with him and make sure he will not get near to you, shoot freely. Let's go!"
"Are you two done?" Balanar moved before them. "Don't waste my time."
Balanar's fast attacks make Yurnero defense in a flurry.
"You've failed...!" Balanar broke Yurnero's defense. But arrow from Traxex stopped Balanar to deal further damage.
"This bitch is really annoying!"
"Your opponent is me!" Under the cover of Traxex, Yurnero is fighting back.
"Argggggg~!!!!"
"Oh, no!"
"You ghouls are late!" said Balanar "Play with him and I'll finish the annoying bitch myself."
Balanar slows down Yurnero with a Void and moves towards Traxex.
"Don't ever think about it!" The blade starts spinning, the ghouls were cut in to pieces, and the negative magic effect dispelled on Yurnero, it is the ultimate skill of the his clan - Bladestorm.
"Bladestorm......! You are a Blademaster. So Shadow Fiend failed to kill all of you huh?"
"That's why I'm here to destroy the Scourge!!!"
Wounds increase on Balanar under the pincer attacks from Yurnero and Traxex.
"Both of you really pissed me off!!!" Balanar ignore the incoming attacks, and
scratchs Yurnero wildly.
*Puke* Blood spit out from Yurnero's mouth.
*wheeze wheeze* Traxex trying to hold on Balanar's attacks.
"!!!" Balanar sense something is coming to him.
"Yaaa!!!!" It's Yurnero.
"How could you...."
"Healing Ward!"
"......... Who are you? I never heard a Blademaster that know to summon a healing ward. And, was that a blink? How could you move so fast from there?"
"Oh, that's good." Someone appears from the woods again.
"!!!!" Yurnero and Traxex was petrified, it's Akasha, the Queen of Pain.
"How long have you been here?" said Balanar.
Akasha smiles and suddenly appears beside Traxex. "I know why you joined the Sentinel and who you are looking for......*whisper* " Traxex seems shocked by Akasha's words.
"I have some news for you too, Blademaster." Akasha appears at Yurnero's back. "Don't you wonder how The Scourge able to attack your tribe without being noticed by Furion's Treants and Rooftrellen's eyes?"
"You.....!!!" Yurnero swing his blade, but Akasha disappear again.
"Time to retreat Balanar, Sentinel’s backup force shall be here very soon."
“Finish your words!!!" Yurnero trying to chase Akasha, but stopped by Traxex.
"Don't!"
"Our backup is coming, we shouldn't let them go away like this!"
"Hmmm...?"
"We can defeat them!"
"You think you can beat us, Blademaster? I don't usually do this....."
Akasha lets loose a piercing scream. "Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiia!!!!" Yurnero feels his head is going to blow by the Scream of Pain.
"It's your lucky night Blademaster, I can't wait to finish you next time." Balanar is retreating and Akasha disappears in a blink.
*Rawr* "Under the moonlight, the evil in the darkness shall be eliminate; by power of the moon, the alignment of my arrow is their heart. Elune's Arrow!" Mirana Nightshade, The Priestess of the Moon reached as the backup team.
Balanar doesn't aware of the arrow. When it seems he gonna hit by it, some one walk out from the forest and blocks the arrow. *Puff* The shadow disappears after taking the damage from the Elune's arrow.
Yurnero see no anger but only sadness on Mirana face "Terrorblade......"
The Soul Keeper leaves quietly without a word.
---------------------------------------------------------------
One week later, in Furion's room.
"Even the Scourge was repulsed by us last week, but I believe their attack was just a feeler."
"Do you mean the Scourge is much more stronger than before?"
"Yes, we need more allies now. Yurnero, I would like you to do me a favor. There is a rumor about Icarus, the Phoenix is located at the Heliopolis, the Mountain of Sun recently. I'd been there for few times but failed to meet him. I know it's hard for you but I hope you can help me to find him."
"I understand that you are busy in the Sentinel, Mr Furion. Don't worry, I will do this! I will explain about the situation of the Sentinel and Scourge and try to invite him to Sentinel Alliance if I met him."
"Thank you Yurnero. Just try your best, don't worry so much about the alliance invitation."
When Yurnero walked out from Furion's house, he saw Traxex was under the tree, it seems she was waiting for him.
"Hey, miss ranger. How are you?" Yurnero greets her warmly.
"Did Furion tell you something?" Traxex looks cool as usual, but seems she is interested about the reason why Furion was looking for Yurnero.
"Yeah, Furion had gave me a mission. I am leaving the base to Heliopolis, the Mountain of Sun tomorrow morning, looking for Icarus, the Pheonix and try to invite him as Sentinel Alliance."
"Icarus, the Pheonix........." Traxex said it thoughtfully. "I am going with you. See you tomorrow."
"What? You are coming with me?!!! I am so happy you are willing to accompany me! ^^ But you have to inform Furion about this because I told him I am going alone."
"That is unneeded. I under no one, I am myself."
"Oh............... Okay. See you tomorrow."
The next morning.
When Yurnero and Traxex are ready to leave.
"Traxex! Wait for us!!!!" Yurnero saw two persons are coming to them. It's Lina Inverse and Rylai Crestfall."
"Lina? What happened?" Traxex asked.
"Come on, you are going to Heliopolis and look for Icarus, the Phoenix with this Blademaster right? How can you not invite us and leave us alone at here?"
" =.= ............... How you know about this?"
"It doesn't matter. We are coming with you. Hehehehe!"
"We are not going for a picnic or a trip Lina...... "
"I know, mission!!! Oh, it's such a long time since my last mission to other place."
"............. The Scourge had just attacked us last week, we need more force to standby in the base."
"Don't worry, their army still not strong enough to pass through the first tower, can't you see we defeat them easily last week?" Lina seems didn't know what happened at the bottom tower last week.
"Rylai is coming too. More people = more happy trip! Hi, Blademaster, I am Lina Inverse, you don't mind we come along with you?"
"Erm..... Hi, I am Yurnero. I.......... don't mind."
"Hehehe! Let's go!!!"
"Lina, going somewhere?" Someone voiced not far away, it's Purist Thunderwrath, Omniknight.
"We are going to Heliopolis! Wanna come along?"
"Of... of... of......... course!"
"What?!!!"
"................."
"Wooo, good weather! ^_^"
"............."
"Look! The flowers are so beautiful. Hmmmmm~~~"
"As I said, this is not an outing nor a picnic!!! Purist, aren't you belongs to the healing team? I don't think you should come with us." said Traxex
"I'd bring a Scroll of Town Portal, I will teleport back immediately if they send me a signal. Don't worry."
"Ah! we should get one too, in case we need to go back when necessary." said Lina.
"............"
"Let see if we'll able to meet any scroll merchant in next town. We are not in Sentinel territory anymore so beware everyone." Said Purist.
*Rawrrr" Big sound coming from the forest, it seems something happened not far away.
"Let's see what's going on there!" Lina is the first one who moves.
"Wait Lina!!!"
"Everyone follow up!"
After Lina, Yurnero saw an elf with a beast are fighting with a creep at cliff.
"Stay away! This creeps is dangerous!" The elf warned them.
"Dragonspwan, the ancient creeps that like to rob travelers and villages." said Traxex.
"Then, we shall help him!" Yurnero draws his blade.
"Thank you. Seems all of you are not just normal travelers."
"We are from the Sentinel Alliance. How were you been attacked by the Dragonspawn? "
"No, I am stopping it from entering the forest."
"...? Why...?"
"To protect the animals, the forest, and the village at foot of the hill..."
"You are doing this all time alone?"
"Yes. I alone is enough, with my Spirit Bear! I don't want to bring any unlucky to the people around me anymore..."
"..........................."
"Well, let's teach the Dragonspawns some lesson!" said Yurnero. "Even though I don't know what you'd been through, but I can feel that there are something you want to protect."
"What?!! Do you mean we are going to their lair?!!! Even we have so many people, that's still too dangerous! These ancient creeps have learned from the battles since long time ago. As you see, they know to use weapons and armors!!! I've been their lair, it's not just one or two of them!"
"Don't worry! We are not the weak."
"Let's go!"
"............................."
After a short walk.
"Here it is. Becareful!"
"Alright! Boys and girls, time to roll!!!"
*Rawrrr*
"Light Strike Array!"
"Be careful! They are immune to magic!!!"
*Rawr!!!* The Dragonspawn charged to Lina but she flee the attack.
"Hee...........eh??" Lina did not aware cliff and fall.
"Get my hand!" Purist jump out to get Lina.
"Got you!" Yurnero grabs purist leg just in time.
*Rawrrr*
"True Form!!"
"Hurry, pull them up!!"
"Sure! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" With all the strength, Yurnero throw both of them in to the sky! Lina and Purist are safe!
"C'mon, lets finish this."
"I think they not dare to come back again in short time."
"Thank you so much."
"Yurnero!!! There are somethings inside!" said Lina.
"Let's take a look." Yurnero and the rest went in the cave.
"Wow! It's a Treasure House!!!"
"Look like the Dragonspwans keep all their treasures here!!"
"This blade looks awesome!"
"It's Blade of Alacrity." said Traxex. "Keep it, I believe it will benefit you."
"Feel free to join Sentinel Alliance anytime."
"Thanks for your invitation, but I think I will remain alone currently."
"It is time to go, hope we will meet again. Bye!"
"Farewell my friends, good luck to all of you!"
Yurnero and the team continue their journey to Heliopolis.
---------------------------------------------------------------
10 days later.
"We are almost there, Heliopolis is just after the desert."
*HOT*
"I'm burning, can't even sweat anymore, this is hotter than what I was expected."
"Stop complaining so you won't waste more energy."
"Lina and Rylai, both of you seem used to the hot weather."
"I'm a fire mage, I'm not afraid of heat." "I'm an ice mage, I can make myself feel cool anytime."
"......................"
"There are rocks ahead, we can take a rest there."
"Ahhhhh shade!"
"Don't drink too much at once."
"We should start to cross the desert in the night, it might be cooler."
"That will be worse, this is a stupid idea."
"Why?"
"................. you will know when the night fall."
"I have a strange feeling since we enter the desert, I feel like some one is following us."
"???"
"Kill them all!!!" the scorpion army come out from the ground.
"..................."
"Why stop? My sons." Yurnero saw a big scorpion come out from the sand, it is
Crixalis, The Sand King. "Don't you forget how those people kill our race just because of their war."
"There must be come mistaken here. We are just pass by."
"Yes, the same excuse again..."
"Wait! we are just...."
"Die!"
"It's Epicenter, everyone stay back, I'll deal with it!!!" Yurnero move up with the Bladestorm.
"........................"
"I'll go with you! Repel!!!"
"........................"
"We can just stop him, aren't we? Frostbite!!!"
"........................"
"Silence..."
"........................"
"Burn burn burn! Light Strike Array !!!"
"........................ Damm you all!!!"
"Oh really? ^_^"
"!!! ..............Sand Storm!!!"
"Time to run guys! It's bad to fight with him here!"
In the night.
"I can't believe it turns so cold in the night!!!"
"The weather in the desert has huge difference between day and night. It can be over 40c in the day while goes below 0c in the night. It will cost more energy if we travel in the night and when the day comes, we'll be exhausted."
"Purist, when it will be ready?!!! I'm hungry!" said Lina.
"Patient..."
"The two mage don't seem affect by this cold weather..."said Yurnero.
"................."
"Yaya, I know..... Lina is a Fire mage, she can keep herself warm in the night; while Rylai is an Ice mage who not scare of cold...."
---------------------------------------------------------------
"There it is, Heliopolis, the Mountain of Sun!!!"
"It's different from what I though, it looks beautiful!"
"Lina, wait for us!"
"What happen?" Traxex looked at Yurnero.
"I feel like some one is following us....."
"Isn't that the scorpion army and the Sand King? I think we already left them behind for a long time."
"No, it's not them........."
"There is no place to hide in a desert, you are just oversensitive. Let's go."
"Hmmm.........."
3rd day in Heliopolis.
"Ah, another good day. I really like this place, it's so warm here!"
"Yeah, I heard that Heliopolis was blessed by the God of Sun and it feels warm all over the year."
"Mr. Captain, how long we gonna stay here? I hope we can stay longer!" asked Lina.
"Just called me Yurnero.... My plan was search for 10 days."
"Guys, come over here!" Traxex seems had found something. "Look at this feather."
"It must be the feather of the Phoenix! How can you find this? You are a genius!!"
"The Phoenix should be somewhere here! Let's search around." Yurnero suggest.
"Hmmm... take a look here guys." Purist found a cave. "This cave doesn't look like a natural one. There are staircases inside."
"It must be lead to somewhere, let's find it out!"
A moment later.
"There are lights there, it should be the exit!"
"Huuuu, finally..... "
"Seems we are in a valley."
"Look!" Yurnero found a feather. "There is a feather here too."
Suddenly, a bright light appears. "What brings you here?" It is Icarus, the Phoenix.
"You are Icarus, I suppose." said Yurnero "We are here to find you."
"What are you looking for, people?"
"We came from the Sentinel Alliance, it's Furion, the Prophet wants to invite you to our alliance."
"For your information, the Lich King's army is getting bigger and stronger lately. They are striking villages and tribes around, one by one, stopping us to unite. We truly hope that you can join us to protect the World Tree." said Purist.
"Yes, the Scourge has........."
"Stay down!!!" Icarus called at a sudden, and a beam light strikes to the cave.
"Kakakaka....." It's Clinkz, the Bone Fletcher tapping behind them, and disappear in a second.
"Damm, we must get him before he report back to the Scourge!" Purist trying to chase.
"He is in WindWalk already, clam down." said Icarus.
"It's definitely not a coincident he found us here. He must been following us for a long time!" Traxex looked at Yurnero. "So this is what you're walking about?"
"I knew it!!! This shouldn't be happen, I should be more aware of this!!! .......... If he is the one who followed us since we entered the desert, then.........." said Yurnero.
"Guys, the Scourge are here!" said Rylai
"It's not the time for me to join the Sentinel yet. Tells Furion, I will find him when the time comes. The Scourge is near, you all should go now." Yurnero recall what Icarus said. He is running, the ghouls are behind him.
"We gotta hurry to find a place to teleport, before the Bone Fletcher found us again!" said Rylai. "We don't know how much army is coming to us."
"We are reaching the top." said Yurnero. "Lina, can you burns the tree?"
Yurnero chops the trees around him.
"Ai yai captain! Dragon Slave!!!"
The burning trees rolling down to the ghouls.
"This should be able to stop them for a while, let's go!"
The team reached the top.
"Oh no, it's a plain."
"I think we just teleport here, before they go through the fire." said Purist. "Remember, do not move, attack or cast spell when using the teleport scroll, or it will be cancel. It need some time to cast, stand still no matter what happen."
"Okay."
"Everyone ready? Let's go!!"
Yurnero and the rest are teleporting.
"What trickery is this?" A man with a great axe appeared. "Hmm? Did I see wrongly? A Blademaster?"
"!!!"
"I thought all the Blademasters should be defeated."
"Mogul Khan!!! Why are you here?!!!" Yurnero look so angry.
"Young Blademaster, why you are with the Sentinel? You escape from the war in the tribe?"
"I am asking you! Why are you here?!!!"
"It's obvious isn't it? I've join the Scourge!"
"!!!"
"Don't you wonder why the Scourge able to reach your tribe so easily? Because I'm the one who bring them there, stay out from the main road and through the shortcut that only we know..."
"Mogul Khan! You betrayer!!!" Yurnero is almost out of control.
"Clam down Yurnero! Do not take his provocation!! There might be other scourge heroes are coming to us now! Do not move, the teleport scroll casting is almost finish." said Purist.
"How is the Clan Leader....?" asked Yurnero.
"The weaker? I had killed him, of course."
"Whhhat....................?"
"Don't listen to him, Yurnero! It's a provocation, not the truth!!!"
"You bastard!!!!!!!!" Yurnero draw his blade and dash toward Mogul Khan. The teleportation was canceled.
"No, you stupid!" Traxex tried to hold him back.
"Traxex!!!" Traxex teleportation was canceled as well, at the time, Purist, Lina and Rylai
was teleported away.
"Why!!!? Why did you do that?!!!"
"Why? Ahahaha!! Why why why? You knew it isn't it."
"He. is. your. brother!!!"
"So what?!!! All of you just jealous at my talent. We have the same Master since young, but even I am stronger than him, that old man never likes me! I am the strongest warrior in the clan, I killed most enemies, I beat him countless time in duel, and guess what? That old man assign him as the new Clan Leader!! I am the one who should be the leader!!! I'd told you all on the day I left, I'll be back. And until one day, I met the Lich, I decided to join the Scourge, because he is the one who knew I'm talented."
"Where is your blade? Every Blademaster had swear to their blade that they will never join the dark side!!!"
"Blade? Hahaha, I don't need those kind of weak weapons. I got the new power from the Lich King, and this AXE. Only a powerful weapon fits a man like me, and fulfill my desire to destroy everything! Taste it, counter Helix!!!" Mogul Khan swing his Axe and threw Yurnero away.
"You even betrayed your own pride as a Blademaster!!!"
"Pride?? Ahahaha, there is only stronger and weaker, winner and loser in this world!!! Let's stop talking and just fight!" Mogul Khan ignore the incoming attack and swing his axe wildly to Yurnero. "You see, no one able to attack and defense at the same time. I am sick of those tactical dodging things. This is the real fight that I am looking for!! Fight like a man!!!"
"You just like brute, not a true warrior! A true warrior will never fight in this way!!!"
"Every creatures in this world has their wildness, stop finding excuses!!! Killing, blood, all of these are nature, why you all can't just enjoy the brutal and stop depressing it! Or you need me to help you to release your inner beast?"
"I am not a mad killer like you!!!"
"Come on! Berserker's Call!!!" Mogul Khan let loose a roar, and Yurnero feels his blood is boiling and his heart is pounding! His waves his blade towards Mogul Khan automatically again. "Yes, forget about those Sentinel or Scourge things! Just enjoy the battle!!!"
Wounds is increasing on both Mogul Khan and Yurnero's body.
"What you have done to me?!!!"
"It's just your desire of killing! Stop acting like a kind gentleman, everyone has it and love it, even she!!!"
"What you've done to her?!!!!!" Yurnero saw Traxex was covered by a magical fire. She is fighting with Clinkz, the Bone Fletcher.
"It's Battle Hunger, not some kind of magic. All you saw is just her inner rage, burning herself until she kill someone!"
"You.......!!!!"
"Why worried about other while you can't even take care yourself? The cost of a distraction in war is D.E.A.T.H!!!!!"
The ruthless Axe lay on Yurnero's chest, Yurnero is hurt badly.
"Look at you, weak and impulsive. Even you can deal more critical hits to me, but they are just too weak to kill me. Shall I just finish you here??"
"Stop!!" Traxex try to save Yurnero, but there is Clinkz behind her.
"Ahhh!!!" Searing arrows lays on Traxex and hurts her badly as well.
"Seems your team mate was failed too." Mogul Khan throw Yurnero away and walks toward Traxex. "Clinkz, I will handle this. You shall report to Abaddon that we got them here."
Clinkz left in a Wind Walk.
"Let me tell you something young blademaster, I didn't kill your Clan Leader. That weak ass just survive and ran away in that war." said Mogul Khan "But you see, your ally is in serious trouble now because of you."
"Get a.......way from......... her."
"The Lich said we should get you all captive, but I think one is enough. My Axe's Culling Blade can kill any weak instantly!!! Ah I just love this power!!!"
"My... body... get up!!!!"
"You failed to amuse me. Remember, she gonna die because of you! Live in regret, forever!!!"
"Don't worry about me stupid, run!" Traxex said her last word.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I am the bone of my sword.
Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.
I have slayed over a thousand enemies.
Unknown to death.
Nor known to life.
Have withstood pain to defeat the foe.
Yet, those hands still can't hold my most cherished one.
So, as I pray...
OmniSlash
"I need to be faster, faster and faster! Beyond the sound, beyond the light, beyond the speed!!!"
It seems that time had stopped, and the only thing left in Yurnero's eyes is his foe.
"W............h.................a................. t................"
Countless of slashes lay on Mogul Khan before he even finish his word.
"Are you alright???" Yurnero rushed towards Traxex.
"What.... is... that...? Hmm..... is that the ultimate skill from the scroll?" Mogul Khan got hurt badly.
"It doesn't matter, cause you gonna die soon......"
"I peeped the scroll before...... That's why I trained so hard every day so I can learn it when I become the Clan Leader..... But that old man just jealous..... of...... me........"
Yurnero saw the soul of Mogul Khan came out from the body.
"What is this? You should be dead!!!"
"Dead? Hahahaha, I had traded my soul with The Lich King. I am a HERO!!! How I will be dead?!!!"
"What?!!!!!!"
"See you next time when I revive, in hell, young blademaster." Mogul Khan disappeared in the air.
"Let's go now!!!" Yurnero held Traxex to find a place to hide.
"Thanks god both of you are save." Some one appears behind them, it's Furion who received the news from Purist and co. teleported to help. "Come, take these Teleport scrolls!!! I will cover both of you!"
to be continue...
