No rest for the wicked

[Zahru II]

Direwood. The province is unusally tranquil after the defeat of the Iron Jarl.



But suddenly, a deathgate emerges!



Cultists enter the area, led by a shrouded figure in armor.



Shrouded figure: 'The cold preserved his body well enough. Pouring the contents of the chalice should be sufficient!'



Shrouded figure: 'Mighty Norse, I command you to rise from the grave and fight once more!'



The Iron Jarl: 'Uuurgh... you... YOU!'



The Iron Jarl: 'YOU!'



The Iron Jarl: 'HOW DARE YOU DEFILE ME!?'
Shrouded figure: 'Hm, impressive as always, Jarl.'



The Iron Jarl: 'Hah, talk about irony. Why did you do this to me?'
Shrouded figure: 'You were destined for glory on the battlefield, but you were robbed from that destiny. You have already proven your willingness to achieve though, no matter the cost. Consider this as a second chance to fulfill your desire.'



The Iron Jarl: 'Fair enough. Though I'm intrigued how you ended up in a position like this.'

Western Imperial lands, a former battlefield.

The Iron Jarl: 'Are you telling me we're here for this? A puddle of charred slag?'
Shrouded figure: 'This is no ordinary ashpile Jarl. These are the remains of a once powerful ork.'



The Iron Jarl: 'I assume you will need more than some magical liquid for this one.'
Shrouded figure: 'That is correct. While I can pull his spirit back, he will need a new vessel for it. You there, step in the ashes!'
Cult initiate: 'Yes master.'



The shrouded figure murmurs some incantations and them swings his sword at the cultist, but he only touches his head with the tip of the blade.



The cultist is suddenly set ablaze, dying a fiery death.



As the fires cease, a blackened figure emerges from the embers...



Gurak the Ashen: 'You!? How? Why did you do this to me? What mockery is this? Some kind of twisted joke?'



Shrouded figure: 'You were brought back with a purpose, Gurak. Your people need you.'
Gurak the Ashen: 'My people?'
Shrouded figure: 'Your kind was enslaved and is used for slave labor and meat shield by those who seek to end our world as we know it. You are their only salvation.'
Gurak the Ashen: 'Salvation...'



Gurak the Ashen: '... fine. For now I believe you. But I only do this for my people.'



Shrouded figure: 'Let us leave then. There is much to be done.'

Good evil vs. Bad evil, my favourite kind of battle.

Zahru, I split the thread before I realised you deleted the original content. If you want to go ahead and re-post it I will delete this topic so you can maintain your awesome without having to put up with the bullshit.

You can thank me later dude, keep posting awesome.
