| Elwynn War - By HighVoltage |
From the diary of S'ram the Explorer...
Oh god...
The horror I've seen yesterday still goes through my mind. I've
never seen such cruelty. Of course, I've seen a lot of killing
in my life, and I have myself too. But what I've seen, is
nothing like 'normal' killing. This was horrible. Hundreds of
orc were slaughtered last night, and I'm the only one who
knows probably.
It started yesterday morning. I was just exploring a bit, like I
always do. I just love to explore new, undiscovered worlds. I
love the thought that I've seen things which no one else has
seen before. But what I saw this day, was so horrible that I
wish I'd never seen it.
I was walking through a big forest. I did not know where I was,
but now I've been told the forest is called 'The Elwynn Forest'.
I thought I was the only person around, but I was wrong.
After having walked for a few hours, still not very awake, I
started hearing some noises. I became curious, and started
running to the place where it came from. Then I saw it. First, I
saw a huge army of Taurens. It gave me the creeps, seeing those
huge beasts, armed to their teeth. I had only once seen a Tauren
before, luckily for me a very friendly one. These Taurens
appeared very hostile though.
Then my view went to the right, and there I saw another army!
This army was an army of Orcs. The army was incredibly big.
There were hundreds and hundreds or Orcs, as far as I could see
there were Orcs. Their army was far bigger than the one of the
Taurens, but the Taurens did not seem afraid.
I immediately understood these creatures were going to fight
each other. It was not hard to guess. I was incredibly afraid,
since I could never defend myself against these killers. They
hadn't seen me yet, and I was planning on keeping it that way.
I arrived just in time to see everything happen. Immediately
after my arrival one of the Taurens, a huge one, gave the sign.
An awful scream filled the air. Immediately all the Taurens ran
towards the Orcish army, and amazingly, the Orcs were being
slaughtered. Once the Orcs knew what was happening, they already
lost over a hundred men. They were not frightened though, and
grabbed their battle axes to crush these Taurens.
Although the Taurens were very successful in the first minutes
of the battle, using the surprise-element, they seemed to be
overpowered by the huge amount of Orcs. I was pretty sure the
Taurens were about to die. Not one would survive.
And indeed, there were a lot of casualties on the side of the
Taurens. Of course, a lot of Orcish warriors also died, but
their force was so big, it didn't seem to matter much. The
Taurens were doomed to lose this war, which seemed pointless to
me. I didn't know why these two races were fighting each other.
But then suddenly, someone of another race appeared on the side
of the Taurens. A race, which I knew very well, since it was
mine. A human sorcerer appeared on the battlefield. I just had
to look for one second, and then I knew this sorcerer was
extremely powerful, and he seemed strong enough to be able to
destroy the whole army of Orcs with one strike. The sorcerer was
surrounded by light, which showed the extreme amount of energy
and mana in the sorcerer.
The Orcs had noticed the sorcerer too now. It became silent on
the battlefield. The Orcs forgot to fight back. The Taurens used
this to retreat from battlefield, and they were now standing
behind the magician.
The spell used by the wizard was an unexpected one. Instead of
using a big ball of fire, or some other disastrous spell, he
just launched some sort of powder to the Orcs. Nothing seemed to
happen. The Orcs looked at each other, surprised they had
survived, and started grinning. Their rage seemed to grow, and
so did their muscles. They became very wild, and were about to
attack the Taurens again. But they didn't attack the Taurens...
They started fighting with each other.
The Taurens just sat back and looked how the army of Orcs
destroyed itself. Looking, just like I did. Even now it took
hours before the army was gone. The battlefield was now more
like a graveyard, with dead bodies, already stinking, laying
everywhere. Now the Taurens started moving again. They slayed to
survivors, and starting plundering their bodies. They removed
everything of any value, and took it with them. Nobody had seen
me, and they left. Leaving the bodies behind.
I still haven't returned to my hometown, Goldshire, yet. I
encountered a few Orcs which missed the battle (luckily for
them) and were now raiding the area, although there was not much
to raid.
I'm not sure if I will survive. The amount of hostiles in the
forest is still very big, and they kill everyone they see. A lot
of dead bodies I found prove this. If you read this, I've lost
my diary and I'm probably dead. Please tell my wife Myrkada and
my children I love them. You can find them in Goldshire. Just
ask in the Inn. Tell them my money is under the big oak with the
feathers. They will understand. |
