The air was full of smoke and Zegranas could feel battle as he neared a simple bridge
"hmm this was not here before but will help us greatly, the portal is not far from the other side of that bridge"
as his armies gathered on the other side Zegranas caught sight of a large mound of earth with human soldiers guarding it, he saw a wizard standing upon the center watching his army as if guardians of the pass. But at last he saw them, scattered bones and armour of the reapers armies, even the head of his dear friend T'al Nasnada who he had known for many decades
through this Zegranas held his hand high and his armies were unleashed, swarming across towards the wall of earth like a mass of bone, with Zegranas leading them using his arm as a shield as the hundreds of shards of human arrows poured into his army and smashing into his gauntlet
"for the Reaper, no mercy, tear their bodies from that wall"
the wizard called spikes from the ground, yet they were mere annoyances that he smashed through with his sword, catapults however would prove a great thorn in his side as they smashed through ranks of his forces, almost hitting him in the process
Zegranas saw his chance however, he spyed the old bow of his friend Tal, he crouched and picked it up and fired a shaft at the wizard, it smashed his staff in two and a second shaft found its place in the old mans chest, he fell from the earth wall. Zegranas knew a wizard would not die from such a fate, but the loss of his staff and the arrow in his chest would not allow him to help his men in this battle
" attack!!! their wizard is no more" and as Zegranas shouted the Skeletons poured over the earthern wall, climbing the rock and swarming round it, Zegranas slashed through soldiers, their bodies melting under his sword's plague energies, finally though he looked around finding he was almost alone, his forces were a tiny rabble against the human legions, as a quick bid he ran at the enemies commander, the commander was on his dragon flying above, Zegranas sent an arrow into its body, almost missing but hitting its tail, the commander yelled and with his dragon descended onto Zegranas.
Dodging Zegranas took a slash at the dragon, which bit his blade, its mouth however went rancid and it let go, Zegranas used his gauntlets and sword as protection as the dragon continually bit at him, finally it breathed hot fire, bathing Zegranas, the red runes of power on his armour flashed and shielded him from the blast and Zegranas slashed at the dragon, slashing a hole through its mouth, it leapt back in pain. The Commander of the human armies leapt from the dragon, wielding his sword with fast placed skill and blocking with his shied, the commander was far faster than Zegranas, eventually Zegranas' two handed blade smashed the commanders shield but by the time this happened he was surrounded by soldiers. They continually hit at him and the commander took his sword and sent it through Zegranas' head. The old skeleton slashed at the commanders leg one last time, leaving a corrosive infected mark, then he toppled to the floor, he could hear the men all cheering as the commander limped back to his dragon in pain, yet Zegranas cursed them as the power that had once raised him died out.

Arnokulus looked around at his army. They had defeated that force, but how many more would come in the future? As thoughts raced through his head, he looked at his leg, the infection was rapidly spreading. "I need a wizard of the light!" he screamed out at his forces. A wizard came running through the ranks and came to Arnokulus. "The infection will kill you in a matter of hours, we must act quickly!" The wise white wizard slammed his staff on the ground and the next second they were in the wizards tower chamber. He set Arnokulus on a bed and rushed to the opposite wall, where there were some vials of bubbling liquids. He pulled out a cauldron and mixed a few of the vials in it. He dipped a beaker into the mixture and brought it to Arnokulus. "Drink this," he said while handing him the beaker,"It will help get rid of the infection." The wizard ran to a cabinet full of herbs. He grabbed a few and placed them on the infection. He also wrapped a bandage around them. "That will slow the poison. Combined, the two remedies will heal you fully."
"Thank you Kulint, you are the best healer we have." Arnokulus painfully got up and walked back outside to check on Arsingo.

"You can't tell me you don't remember me? You're the one who sent me to the Desert Outpost with relay commands... About what, four or six weeks ago?" Coji chuckled and looked behind him, "Obviously you've had trouble in my abscence.
suddenly without warning, the remains of Zegranas started to move, the soldiers had cleared the area of his army, and had moved on to perhaps an another outpost, Zegranas body suddenly started moving back together, his sword, armour and various body parts merged to form him once again, he grinned "so thats what your for" he said as he looked at the ring the wise old grim reaper gave him, the ring to his surprise disintegrated, obviously of only one use, he saw that his horse was still alive as it galloped towards him, "hmm alive again, now back to the dark keep" with that his horse went towards the keep at full speed.
A young soldier came running through the camp, and stopped abruptly at attention next to his commander. "Sir, I...I'm sorry to interrupt," he said breathlessly,"But we need more bandages... and there are a certain few that aren't cooperating...You know that archer Zach? He won't let anyone touch him, and won't give us a reason why. I mean if I had an arrow prtruding out of my stomach I sure would want help, but what do I know..." A talker this one was, but he eventually stopped rambling and waited to be told what to do next.
Zach laid on a small cot inside the infirmary tent. How she had gotten then, Zach had no idea, she couldn't remember. She was in great pain, but had managed to pull the arrow out herself. She didn't want a stupid arrow to be the reason why she was discovered to actually be a woman. Zach had made it this far, and was not stopping now, no matter how much this wound hurt. Blood was starting to seep through the bandage she held on it, and it started to drip to the floor. Zach slowly closed her eyes, and blacked out.

After the young soldier had finished speaking Arnokulus said,"Find some old clothing to cut up to make bandages from. I'll check on Zach in a moment." He turned to Coji,"The Reaper's servants attacked. We survived, but there are a lot of injuries. It's going to be a struggle to get everyone on their feet again. We have been attacked twice by the Reaper, but both have been small forces. Dorrakullan must be distracting him enough. Follow me. While I check on Zach you can give me your report." Arnokulus started walking toward the infirmary tent.
