It was a dark and dreary morning in Azeroth... the wind howling along with the creaking of ancient trees as tall as the heavens, were now familiar sounds. This was not our first venture into Duskwood... and we knew the weather and trees were the least of our worries.
Bobby wasn't nervous about todays mission. This was not the first, and it would most certainly not be the last; however, there was something odd about today... visually shaking off the feeling he took his first step toward the forest. Today was not a day to let superstition get the best of him.
"Well... Let's be off." he said without looking back.. His companions would be there, just like they always were. Just like they always will be.
"Huzzah!..." Aldria exclaimed as he pounced passed Bobby's side, running headstrong into the darkness of the forest. Of course, he would go running into danger blindfolded if he had the oportunity. Nothing less would be expected of Aldria. He was a druid. One of the best... and never one to back down, even if he bit off considerably more than he could chew.
With a sigh, Bobby turns halfway back, glancing at Athren... Who only answer was a grin. Aldria was part of the excitement as Athren saw it, and he would always be there to help aldria get out of whatever mess he got himself into. Athren was a rogue, and could be counted on to be wherever the fun was at... Although, his kind of fun sometimes caused all the trouble in the first place.
All that was left to do, was to quicken their pace and catch up with Aldria. Which turned out to be for the better... Where they were going wasn't too far off... and the faster they got there, the better.
Bobby could see the trees thinning. There was a small clearing up ahead at the base of the hills where rock jutted out of the ground like horns. As bobby stepped out of the darkness of the forest, he had to squint from light. As his vision adjusted, a cave came into view. However, this cave didn't seem natural... it seemed excavated, as an abandoned mine might be after ages of rotting in a forest forgotten.
The tale was that this cave had been overrun by bandits long past, and the ghosts of dead still haunted its depths. Ghosts, however, aren't as scary as you might think. To bobby, this was just another obstacle in his path to greatness... and so the three ventured within, without so much as a look back... In fact, as bobby remembers it Aldria even propsed a race through the clearing to see who could get to the cave first... Athren won... Aldria was quite dissapointed.
There were battles to be faught of course, however, This cave wasn't all that bad at all. taking on 3 or 4 of these ghosts at a time, had easily made for a quick pace through the cave. Aldrias ability to transform into a bear made things all the easier with his tough skin. He could take the hits while Bobby Healed him, and Athren did what he does best... Killing.
Things got so boring in fact that Athren proposed a duel. You see Bobby was quite the oponent for a rogue. He was a Priest, and would just heal through any attack.
"C'mon! I can take you! ...I've been training" Athren says with a slight grin.
"Can't you see I'm busy!" Bobby says looking back, with a slight mocking tone.
However, Athren was persistent, and bobby finally conceided to having a duel... Bobby was not worried about loosing time. This would be relatively quick, like it always was... so Aldria kept on pulling the ghosts... and fighting his little heart out.
Accepting the duel... Bobby braces himself as Athren Dissappears into thin air! Bobby however did not falter... He's seen this before, time and time again, and he's ready as Athren reappears behind him, thrusting for a fatal blow. Bobby is agile, he must be in order to dodge Athren's ruthless attack. Hardly noticing how deftly Bobby dodged his attack, Athren follows it with another thrust a bit higher, then another slightly lower, and on and on without stopping... Bobby keeps dancing backwards... to the side, then back again, like a deadly dance.
However quick bobby has become, Athren truely has been training. He's scored several cuts with his striking and the poison from his daggers is slowly starting to seep into bobby's blood, crippling his movements, and numbing his mind.
Bobby's been in this position before, and quickly summons the necessary power to heal himself. it's a fairly quick spell that effectively refreshes him. Athren sees the spell being cast but is unable to reach bobby in time to falter him... His only choice is to vanish once again, and start his attack from another angle... with another strategy.
Without Athrens constant attack, Bobby realizes that a battle is going on behind him... Glancing back he sees Aldria fighting away 7 ghosts crying out for healing and just hardly staying alive. Forgetting his little duel with Athren, He spins and runs toward Aldria, already preparing a spell that will just narrowly save him from what seems to be certain death, when Bobby trips and crashes to the ground... He tries to get up, but he's too dizzy from the fall, and he realizes in shock that Athren has Gouged him!
Apparently Athren doesn't seem to care about aldria's plight and is set on winning this duel! Bobby shakes off his stun and narrowly misses another blow as he closes the distance to Aldria... Who at this point has noticed Athren still trying to win his duel and Bobby still trying to save him... Despite himself he can't help but laugh at the top of his lungs while fighting off a mass of ghosts.
Meanwhile bobby notices Aldria laughing meniacaly while he's casting a spell to heal the druid... The man must have gone insane...
No sooner had the thought of insanity crossed his mind, Athren Jumps past Bobby's side with a loud battle cry and a grin on his face as he Kicks Bobby Square in the Stomache... Loosing, his concentration along with every last bit of air that was in his body, Bobby falls to his knees as he fails to cast his spell...
"Winner!" Athren exclaims as he throws up his hands in victory...
"Aldria...." bobby whispers summoning what little breath he can as he points past athren...
Athren glances back and his face takes on a sullen defeated look as Aldria is overrun, and the remaining mass of ghosts starts to rush toward Bobby and himself...
"Oh......" is all he has to say.
------------------------------
This has all been a true and very dramatized retelling of an adventure in world of warcraft... There was quite a bit more laughing over vent involved, and somehow, we actually made it out alive... no thanks to myself of course

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed.
