THE BATTLE OF LE’ HIGH ROAD
As the early morning mists began to fade,
the blood red banners of the Druchii could be seen on the horizon. A crackle of
purple magic shot across the sky from the east, marching with bones of death.
Deep green cloaks fluttered out of the southern forests with a thunder of
steeds. The gathering of armies sized each other up across the
sands.
The Sand Arisers, a mighty force from the
valley of the Tomb Kings. Daricka’s dancing death, wood elf forest sprites from
Athel Loren and the Battalion of the Northern Realms; Malus Darkblade and his
dark ones from Naggaroth.
Movements being slow, still sluggish from the hour, but the armies meet in a
flurry of wings, the screech of carrions and a whistle of arrows. Chariots,
horses and bowmen fall to magic, as elf and skeleton alike fall to sword.
The ground shakes beneath their feet as a
great rumbling rattles over the battlefield. In a burst of sand, gravel and
grass a great orange scorpion erupts from beneath, only to face down its own
army. Confusion and misdirection befalls the Tomb Kings as the battle
progressed. Using this to his advantage, Malus Darkblade lunged into battle.
Before the day was over the mighty Tomb Prince had fallen beneath the sword of
Malus Darkblade.
Turning his attention to Daricka, Malus
managed to inflict enough damage that she faded amongst the leaves into the
ground. The army remained steadfast despite the threat of the remaining Tomb
Kings and Dark Elves presented. The fight became all too much for the Tomb
Kings, after suffering the loss of their leader and they fell
suddenly into a cloud of bones and dust, as if they never where, the wind
scattering the once-bone across the battlefield.
In the aftermath, the Dark Elves and Wood
Elves survey each other across the great divide of the valley and continued on
their way. Until next time...
