Morroc under Siege!!

It’s been weeks since that dreaded day….The day when his beloved died right in front of him. Reid had not eaten nor drinks anything in days. His memory of his beloved will not disappear. He could not push that black memory to the edge of his mind. It keeps replaying it in front of him. It causes him great misery. He looks like he was a living dead, an undead. His hair is messy and his clothes was tattered and had lots of filth. He looks like he had battle a thousand enemies. His clothes had blood and he never bother to wash it. He was walking through the Sograt Dessert.

The sun was scorching to the very ground and it seems like Reid did not even noticed the heat. He had always blamed himself for his weakness of being not be able to save his loved ones. Everyone in the town of Khan was his friend. He would enjoy being with anyone in Khan especially Tifa.

He walked up the huge mould of sand and saw a large scorpion. He took out his sword and charged towards it. The scorpion reacted when it sensed Reid charging towards it. It held up its deadly tail and get ready for an attack. It tried to attack Reid when he is in range but Reid was too fast for it. Reid jumped up and stabbed it. Yellow liquid were flowing slowly out of the scorpion. A gash of blood was splattered throughout his sword. Reid pulled out his sword and continued walking towards the east.

He then saw a man with a long cloak. His face was wrapped around with bandage. There was a spear behind him. That man looked like he was staring at him. Reid could sense an aura of evil. Reid draw out his sword but as soon he is in battle stance the man teleported leaving nothing behind.

Reid kept his sword and continued. He soon reached the city of Morroc. It was the city of sand where the heat is unbearable to almost everyone. As he entered the city most people were wearing a hat. Although everyone hat were in different shapes and sizes but they were all wearing hat to avoid getting sunstroke.

He wondered why they had gathered here. As he looked around his question has been answered. There is a poster pinned to the tree and he began walking towards it. There is a temple south of Morroc and it had been inhabited by undead for centuries. The poster states that there will be an undead killing event that night. The purpose is to clear out the remaining undead inside the temple.

Reid had no interest. He just wanted to take a rest. Then out of no where a girl bumped into Reid. “Oh sorry”, she said and took off before Reid could say anything. Reid head to the inn and when he was going to pay he realized that his money is missing. He stormed out of the inn looking everywhere for a sight of that girl. Looking frustrated he ran around Morroc but he couldn’t find her anywhere. He then sat down by the fountain.

It was already evening. “Where am I going to stay??” Reid wondered. Reid then noticed that there were almost no knights, assassins or any warrior for that matter. He turned around and saw a crowd. A voice of plead for forgiveness was also heard. “Please!! Let me go… I won’t steal again” That voice seems somewhat familiar. He wondered if it is someone he knows. He walked towards the crowd and saw the girl that stole his money.

Opposite to her was a knight with a huge amour. “A Paladin”, he thought to himself. Then the siren was heard and a female voice sounded as of great danger. “THE UNDEAD OF MORROC TEMPLE HAD BROKEN LOOSE!!! EVERYONE GET TO THE NEAREST SHELTER!! The girl ran immediately at the sound of the siren. Then the south exit was blown to bits and a horde of undead rushed in. “Oh great….. Trouble…” said Reid as he saw the Paladin charged towards the undead. The Paladin took out his broad sword and started hacking and slashing through the undead. A group of knights appeared behind him while riding black horse also charged towards the undead. It seems that the news of Morroc is being raided has spread towards the whole continent because all of sudden a lot of teleporting sphere had appear and out came numerous warriors like the blacksmiths and assassins! Even the Riders of Rohan who protects the king is here to help.

Although there were many warriors but one by one they fell as there were too many undead. Reid couldn’t stand there doing nothing anymore. He too joins the battle. He too out his beautiful metallic sword and charged towards the battle. Reid slashes some of the undead at the head and they fell immediately. Priest was appearing out of no where and come to join the battle. They kept firing holy crosses towards the undead. Assassins were slashing the undead with unbelievable speed. It almost seems like a blur. Some undead just melted to the ground due to the assassin's deadly skill... "Venom Splasher"The blacksmiths swing their enormous axes and hammers to crushed the undeads. Some times the impacts is so strong that a small scale earthquake can be heard. Wizards too have joined the battle. They cast fire bolt to burn the undead to the ground where they belong. Suddenly, arrows was shot from behind and it seems like thousands of them. Some wizards and priest cast barriers to protect them but some got hit and fell to the ground.

One by one humans fell but the undead kept reviving. “This is endless” as Reid slashed an undead to half. Another swarm of arrows appear but this time they were prepared. All of the wizards and priest cast a huge barrier to protect everyone. As soon the barrier settles down the battle rise again. It was chaos almost hell like. But for Reid it was fun. He had never been in such an intense battle all his life. There is a smile on his face as he battle out. The Riders of Rohan had never fallen yet, not even 1 of them. It has shown everyone how powerful they are.

The battle between the living and the dead was intense! When the sun rose, the undead slowly retreated. Some even fled… but was soon caught up and then killed. There was happiness in the air. Reid’s clothes were bath in blood by the undead and his. His left leg was injured by an arrow while his amour plate has a crack and his hair was now a little red due to the blood of his head.

Although injured badly but there is a smile on his face. He had never enjoyed a battle this intense. Priests were healing everyone with their last power. Though some people were mourning to the death warriors but they knew they had died in honor. Reid soon returned to the inn and slept throughout the entire day.

During that night, there was a party for the victory against undead. Reid was holding a beer and was gulping them down. The paladin gave a speech during the party.

“Good Evening everyone. I’m Alexis, a Paladin from the Royal Army of Migrad. There is an announcement from the King.” said Alexis as he started reading a letter. “Due to the unfortunate events that happened today, the researcher of the castle has announced that the undead has finally started to oppose the living. In a week’s time, the Royal army will arrive and subdue the undead once and for all. That is all.” Reid walked away and started walking to the dessert. It was chilly and cold but as he stared to the Temple where all the undead appear from, he said,” I’ll be ready….”
 
The Plot of the Undead

A week later…
Reid got himself a new amour. A shining chain mail is seen on his chest. He cleaned himself up and was heading to the North entrance to get a little warm up. But when he got near the entrance the sound of marching can be heard as it was getting louder and louder. “THEY ARE HERE!!” shouted the guy at the watch tower. He shouted again and again at the top of his voice. The gate sprung open and hundreds of knights, paladin,crusaders and blacksmiths came marching in. At the front row was the Riders of Rohans. Wizards and Priests teleported and appeared at the center of Morroc. It seems that the undead would perish during this war but Reid suspect that it will not end peacefully. The assassins were not in the line up...." What about the assassins?? Aren't they going to help us??", wondered Reid.

During night fall, the army had already at the front of the temple. The assassins were still not there.All of them were looking eager to go into battle. Alexis was seen at the front row with the commander of the army. “HAHAHAHAHA!!” everyone was shocked by that laugh and look up. A priest is now standing at the top of the temple. He was wearing a black priest clothes. He had a grin smile. “DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT U CAN SUBDUE THE UNDEAD?? YOU HAVE JUST PROVIDED THE ULTIMATE WEAPON TO THE UNDEAD. THAT IS THE CORPSE OF THE WARRIORS!!! HAHAHAHA!! ” As he finished those words hundreds of undead warriors dig themselves out of the ground. Now there is a Legion of undead warriors in front of the army. Some of them were priest or even paladins and wizards. They have their original skills just that their dead.

The evil priest continues,” THIS LEGION WLL BE TELEPORTED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND CAUSE CHAOS AND MISERY TOWARDS YOU ALL HUMANS!! HAHAHAHAHA!! ” The evil priest disappeared from sight. Soon at the top of the temple, many lights were shooting away from the temple… from Morroc and into the world.

The Legion of undead and the army stood still and in an instant hell break loose. The war started and clashes of sword, summoning of spells could be heard from everywhere. Mini earthquake san be felt as both living blacksmiths and undead blacksmiths use their skills. Reid could not notice which spell belongs to the army or which spells belong to the undead. The undead were summoning spells with their own language and it seems that it worked. Fire bolts, Lighting and even frost diver were seen across the battle field. Although the undead assassins could not run as fast as the living assasins but their venom splashers and sonic blow is just as deadly.This war will be remembered for all eternity as it is one of the most intense battles Reid has ever seen. Paladins were fighting paladins and so on and so forth. Everyone was fighting their own counter part except Reid because there is rarely any Khazlar left. “Luckily there is no undead Khazlar or we’ll be battling a guardian not an undead” said Reid as he slashed a wizard undead to stop him summoning any dangerous spells. It seems that the undead have full potential of their spells but with no wit to use them.

As Reid was slashing and hacking through he noticed the undead wizards are collecting at the top of the temple. They form a triangle and started summoning. “Oh crap…. Is that…Storm gust??” said Reid as he noticed the sky was turning grey and starting to twist. “CRAP!!” as Reid dash to the temple. More people realized the spell the undead was casting and they use all their power to stop them. The crusaders were launching their shield while the wizards are casting froze diver to freeze them. But all efforts were in vain as the undead priest cast magic barrier and attack barrier around them.

When Reid got to the base of the temple he was brought to the top of the tower by the ground. They ground rushed up like a fountain carrying Reid on it. When Reid reached the top he tried to attack the priest but a knight undead was there to protect them. He quickly cross slashed the knight undead and pierced the undead priest to clear the barrier. As soon the barrier was lowered down a frost diver hit one of the 3 undead wizards. The summoning did not cease and the snowstorm was summoned. The impact of the spell was tremendous. Almost half of the battlefield was now covered in snow and the at least one quarter of the warriors were now frozen. They died at the touch of the wind. They break into many pieces and fell to the ground.

It was a terrible scene. Blood was oozing everywhere. He turned to the other undead and slashed them to pieces. After he slashed them to pieces a paladin undead appeared behind him and slashed his back and Reid fell to the ground. He saw his own blood was flowing on the ground and then he fell unconscious.

The Khazlar Seal....

Reid woke up slowly in an area he had never seen before. It was a village of great civilization. The houses were made by some sort of rocks. Then he realized that this village matched the description that his father once told him… his homeland. There are children running around. It seems like Reid was invisible. No one in that village even notice Reid.

“Reid….” A voice came out of no where. Reid recognizes that voice. It was his father’s. “Dad… is it you??” asked Reid. “Reid my son… you are now ready…“said his father as he appeared behind Reid in a ghostly manner. His father was semi transparent and yet to Reid it was a calming sight. Soon his mother and his grandparents appeared too. Then a lot of people appeared behind them. There were at least 50 people. They were also semitransparent.

“They are your ancestors… they are here to witness the opening of the seal of the Khazlar. That seal …. Is on your sword” Reid took out his sword and saw some ancient words that was never there. It soon gathered and transform into a small semi sphere and attach itself to his sword. “This is the seal of the Khazlar to limit the power of nature possessed by a Khazlar. You have just unlocked the battle seal.” said his father. “Now go and unlocked the other seals that has limited out power for the past 3 centuries. Regain the full power of the Khazlar, my child. Find your way to this village. Your heart will know where.” As soon his father finished his words a swirling sensation return him back to the real world. The sound of terror and chaos can still be heard. He stood up and found out that his wound on his back has miraculously healed.

He took his sword that is lying on the floor and saw the semi sphere bolted to his metallic blue sword. He also noticed that his felt lighter and his physical strength also increases. He turned around and saw the paladin undead that slashes him battling with a priest holding a stunner. He dashed to the paladin undead and gave him a deadly cross slash that split its body into a few pieces. “THAT IS FOR HURTING ME!!” as Reid shouted at the pieces of body on the floor.

“Thanks” said the priest but all of sudden a few knight undead surrounded them. Both Reid and the priest dash to a different undead and killed them. Reid took down the others with a new skill he doesn’t even know he had. His body just moved on his own as though Reid had perfectly known how this skill works. He slashes the undead upwards but the undead knight block the attack with its shield but due to the impact it hurled upwards. Reid jumped slashed the undead in a distinct way while twisting his body to make sure he had hit most of the critical part of the undead. “DEMON TWIST!!” shouted Reid as he performed this skill.

When he landed, a paladin appeared behind him attempting to slash him on the back. “I’m not going to fall for that again!!” said Reid as in an instant he had pierced the undead front and forth with tremendous speed. There are 2 pierced marks on the undead body. As soon as Reid killed that paladin undead a teleportation spell appear before him.

A few high wizards and priests came out of the portal. “We’ll fight fire with fire” said the oldest wizard. Reid understood immediately what he meant. “Will you protect us when we are summoning young one?” asked the second wizards. Reid nodded and said, “If it will get rid of the undead … it will be my pleasure.” A few paladins appear from the teleportation spell and some Riders of Rohan was now guarding the temple as the High Wizards cast a spell so deadly that it will need everyone to evacuate before it is summoned…Meteor Storm. The undead saw the wizards summoning and was now concentrating to the wizards but the warriors and Reid were trying their best to keep the undead away from the high wizards. The warrior is outnumbered 5 to 1.

Reid is now holding a huge shield nearly as his size to protect the swarming arrows that is now firing towards the wizards. The priests were healing everyone with all their power.
The sky can now be seen a red light. The meteor is being summoned and it is getting closer to the ground. It is huge enough to destroy a 5 km radius wide. The undead are now reaching the top of the temple as one by one the warriors fell onto the ground. There is no one left alive on the ground below the temple and as the wizards dropped out of exhaustion indicating the spell has been complete. The Priest cast a few teleportation spell enough to get everyone out. Reid carried all 3 high wizards into the teleportation spell and noticed that he was now in the front gate of Morroc. Then the rest of what is left of the army came through the portal except Alexis. “I will make sure no foul undead will crossed this portal. Now Go QUICKLY!!" said Alexis as he pushed a injured knight across the portal. As the portal closes Reid saw Alexis was slaughtered by a few undead paladins. Alexis sword came through the portal as it closes.

Reid turned his head towards the south and saw a few meteors crashed towards the temple, destroying everything that was left there. An army of warriors from everywhere was reduced to a merely of 14 people. He took up Alexis sword and stabbed it to the ground. He risked his life to protect the portal. The battle between the living and the dead has ended.
