(Authors note: my first attempt at a RP story here, R&R please :) )
-------------------------------
Pain. Fear. Death. Weakness. They are no longer to be with you. Your soul is mine. Heed my words.
Kill or be killed.
Darkness surrounds me as I come to consciousness. Try as I might to fight it, the darkness
still lingers. It's not a darkness that you feel when you blow out your candle as a young one,
but rather a darkness that haunts your soul. A darkness that envelops you,
tears at you, shredding and eviscerating all hope left within your weakened mind.
This darkness is what came after I had been risen. After I betrayed my friends. my family.
Given my soul to the Lich King, in exchange for immense power.
He didn't promise the darkness.
"Hey!"
"Hey! Draenei!"
After lack of a response, the young blood elf scoffs, obviously impatient. Without a second thought, he screams again.
"HEY! I'm talkin' to you!"
Little did he know those would be the last words he uttered.
With a brilliant, but surprising flair, the 'incapacitated' draenei leaps up from his fetal position and lands his fist
upon the unsuspecting elf, shattering his skull, leaving him in an abhorrent position on the stone floor.
"Well well, looks like someone has woken up."
The draenei whirls around, ready for another ruthless strike, but is met with a keen blade prodding his neck, slightly above the clavicle, and a brightness emits from the blade, leaving him blinded.
"Don't get hasty boy. Learn who your superiors are. And learn fast."
With that, the blade is dropped, revealing a toned human with a light blue coat of saronite plate mail covering him, and odd marks upon his face of the same hue.
"I'm your new instructor. Are you ready to fulfill the promise made to you?"
Glaring, I slowly nod, still in a defensive position. The human merely laughs, and turns around to walk to a small weapon rack, picks up a blade well beyond it's years, and tosses it at the draenei, who catches it expertly.
"Let's see your skill with a blade." says the human, pointing towards a pit-fight ring in the center of the room. The draenei mightily jumps from where he stands, leaping twenty yards into the center of the ring. As bone fences are risen on either side, another human is awoken, with fear emitting from her eyes. As a sword is handed to her, she utters the four words with such that send the draenei into a state of shock:
"
kill or be killed.
"
With a scream, she charges at the draenei in his incapacitated state, blade held high. With a sudden realization of what is happening, the draenei readies his blade, quickly preparing himself for what is about to descend upon him. With a furious crash, the blades meet and the two lost souls begin to circle one another, waiting for the other to make a move.
Without hesitation, the sparring begins as the draenei makes his move with a feint followed by a strike destined for blood.
the human had other plans.
With a dazzling blade, she sweeps the draenei's attack aside and counters with a strike ridden with the plague of the Lich King upon it. Without a flinch, the draenei takes the attack in the upper arm, which periodically intensifies, leaving him weakened.
As the human leans in for the final, bloody blow, something unexpected happens.
With a cry so fierce that it shatters eardrums, the draenei lunges his blade towards his opponent, shattering the hilt of her sword, and her hand, after a pathetic attempt to parry. After a painful scream, the human falls to her knees, clutching her hand, with the victorious draenei over her.
As she looks up at him, he can see the fear is now in her eyes, no longer radiating outwards from them.
"Finish it." his instructor says, coldly from the outside of the ring.
Looking down upon her, the draenei places an evil grin upon his face, and places his sword upon her neck. Staring into her fear-stricken eyes, he mutters the first phrase that places him on his path to becoming a heartless weapon of the Lich King himself, a Death Knight.
"
Kill or be killed.
"

(A/N: in case you can't tell, this is going to be based upon the starting quest line for the Death Knight.)

Ur going to kill him i my guess. That or have him switch off to the Ebon Blade when the time comes (given that this story follows through that lore).
