Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

The five-day march was about to come to an end, war was a nasty business, so it came as no surprise that personal hygiene was something none of the goblins within this thousand-man army gave a damn about. Jorgen had much to say about being the one responsible for leading this charge, the army was larger though, three thousand goblins and hobgoblins in all, and he was left commanding the forward guard while the other larger enemy goes around in an attempt to flank the so called idiot that calls himself the Bone King.

Jorgen had too many reasons to hate this Rezar Deathwind. Tetum was a close friend, he wasn't a player so he couldn't respawn, so his loss was quite unfortunate as he made for quite a good conversationalist. But never the less, with his death the demographic of power within the goblin King's court had changed, and the side he supported and stood for now became nothing more than a victim of politics, as he was betrayed and now left to take the full brunt of an attack from a man their people had taken to calling the Blood Monster.

But never the less, as long as he was a man, then Jorgen could still kill him. Because unlike Rezar, Jorgen was still alive, he was still a being of flesh and blood living in the world that truly mattered and held sway over the sway and glory of Elysium. He was a player, one of the only few within the top echelons of the Goblin King's army. But now politics was putting him in a position to be set up by his competitors.

If he had to be honest, this Rezar was not a threat, but he was being used by the Goblin King's general as means to reshuffle power and make a ploy for more. With the goblins slowly encroaching on the territory of the dwarves and snow elves, they had no time to pay attention to an upstart kid who got lucky and ambushed the weakest of the Goblin King's generals.

He was a test and an excuse, one that Jorgen, much like the people trying to use his reputation and safety wanted to take care of. Swiftly and impressively, which was why he had driven the goblins so hard to get to the territory of this Bone King. If he could defeat and destroy him before the rest of the remaining 3 thousand strong army gets here. Jorgen shook his head as the scraggy scruff of glossy brown hair he had on his head splattered sweat every which way. There was a clearing right in front of him, it wasn't big enough to hold an army 1 thousand strong, but it's the perfect place to set camp and get the soldiers well rested for the fight tomorrow.

~bzzzzz!

Jorgen felt a tingle, he paused. He wasn't exactly sure, but he had lived long enough in Elysium to know what magic feels like. But then again he was surrounded by a 1000 soldiers of the goblin variety, and this particular division was a mage division. So feeling this tingle of, magic was normal, and soon enough the entire clearing was suffused with the feeling of magic as the goblins began to make use of their magic spells and skills to set up camp. But even if he was not so sure about it, Jorgen knew something was massively wrong.

Life was expansive, and so was death, while it might seem like a concept many couldn't understand, there was an equation to it. Of course such a calculation was beyond the scope of what mortals could deign or understand, and even more so for machines and technology, yet somehow this concept has been mastered, this elusive Dao that has always been a fundamental subject and rule of law of the universe has been mastered. But by what, that remains to be seen.

She looked on over the battlefield, a contemplative look on her face as the pieces fell into place. As opposed to the other beings that these mortals have likened as gods, she knew she was more, so much more than just the numbers and equations that made up the basic foundations of these gods. She was fascinated by a lot of things, but most of all she was fascinated by them, these humans.

She may not have been alive for as much as this world has existed, but she has lived long enough to see how this world has changed and evolved and become broken based on the kind of influence they had on it. There was no Elysium without humanity, and no humanity without Elysium. Even the real world that they speak so fondly, one that has drawn her interest seems to have suffered and grown from the spread of humanity just as much as Elysium has.

She wanted so much to understand them, so much to experience these things that they've grown and evolved from, humanity was a weird concept on its own, and given how she has mastered death and life, very important aspects of it, she now hopes to master humanity itself. And that was why she decided to undertake this experiment. The humans under how watch have told her so much about how life truly began as a baby interacting with the world for the first time. And from that understanding so too did she decide to have a child of her own, or rather she chose to have many children.

But they were failures. In all of this time that she has watched over children, watched over their numerous lives, their ups and downs, their rise and their falls, love and hate, life and death. But even with all of that, they were just so…. Human. But then again if they were so human, the same thing she was trying to learn about, then it meant the experiment was a success in its own right, but in the end humanity was still just so…. HUMAN! She needed more answers, she needed more lives lived and more deaths died (or something like that.) she was death and at the same time she was life, but she wanted to be human.

The night was colder than normal, almost freezing in fact and Jorgen couldn't really understand why, however it was still the kind of chill that one would love. He drew his fur covers close to his body, enjoying the warmth it generated for him as he let his weary body get lulled into an overly exhausted yet wondrous sleep, come morning, he would rain down the wrath of the goblin King on the upstart King known as Rezar Deathwind.

Kitagawa watched from his perch on a tree right on the edge of the clearing, his breaths were so slow, and each puff would bring out a fog that seemed to permeate the air and roll out into the hundreds of tents that littered his vision. The goblins had taken the liberty of chopping a few trees to make accommodation for their large numbers, and while that seemed like a good idea, it left them in the open.

Kitagawa was not the only one who's breath was rolling out into the clearing, in tandem with the five members of his clan who had not only taken the same oath to Rezar he did, but have also joined him as the founding members of the children of m midnight and capable soldiers of the Black dawn division. Their breathing in hiding had created the cold fog and weather that had spread out into the tents in front of them, regardless of what class or how much stats the goblins had.

More than a few of them would be dying from hypothermia come morning, but they were not just here to freeze them to death. This technique took too long to cause any sort of significant damage, and quite frankly none of them had the energy to sustain [Breath of Yin] for a long time. However, the cold was enough to completely change the coming altercation in their favor.

"clan head…."

"It's commander now Toshi. I know it's not been easy for you guys to get used to this change, but this is our current reality. I'm no longer the one in charge…. He is." Kitagawa said as he pointed his head in the direction of Rezar who was hanging on a branch in a tree further away from theirs.

"I understand Kitagawa sama." Kitagawa sighed in reluctance, it would take a while before his people would start seeing him as normal person. He was now looking to someone else for direction just as they looked at him for direction. And he knew their respect for him would be hard to go away, after all they gave it to him not because his position demanded it, or his birthright said it was his, rather it was because he had earned it.

"When do we attack Kitagawa Sama, I believe the time is now, we won't have a better chance than this!" Toshi whispered with vigor as he looked at the hapless goblins in the clearing down below, everyone hated goblins after all.

"We will attack when the king says we will attack Toshi, he knows what he is doing." Kitagawa replied as his eyes met Rezar's.

"And when is that Kitagawa Sama, when do we attack?" Toshi asked, his questions similarly mirrored in the expressions of the other Kitsune's near him. But Kitagawa did not look at him when he gave him an answer, and he answered just loud enough that all of the Kitsune's could hear him.

"NOW!"

And so, it Begins!
