The first part of my semi-epic tale, enjoy, and plz comment:
Chilwind Point in the Alterac Mountians…
- The valley was quiet, except for the running water in the nearby river and the occasional chirping of birds, all was silent. Then there was the sound of hoof beats, something was approaching.
- Three Paladins – as was evident by their armor – were riding through the pass. The Paladin at the lead of the three wore the tabard of the Alliance, and had armor befitting the rank of a major commander.
- The Paladins approached a camp where there were several wounded soldiers, as well as seemingly healthy ones and a Captain talking to the later. The lead paladin dismounted and approached the Captain. The Paladin had pitch-black hair with a black beard and tanned, white skin. “Captain,” the Paladin said in a monotone voice.
- Startled, the Captain turned to face him and then saluted. “Lord Morec!”
- “What’s the current status?” the Paladin – William Morec – asked.
- “Not too good, sir” the captain replied. “The Alterac Mountains act as a good buffer between us and the Scourge, but their numbers is still too great. Sir, our troops can’t take many more losses.”
- Morec motioned to the other Paladins, who quickly dismounted and began to tend to the wounded. “The other generals have ordered more troops here, Captain; they should be arriving within the hour. Until then, we are to hold the undead off.”
- “But, sir -,” the Captain started, but was interrupted by an approaching scout.
- “Sir,” the scout said, gasping for breath, “the Scourge is making another charge.” The Captains face when white in terror, but Morec remained calm.
- “We will hold them off at the dam,” he said. “Captain, gather the troops – all of the troops – we will need them to help hold off this attack.” The captain began to object, but Morec glared at him, “now.” The Captain nodded and walked to the troops. Morec motioned to his paladins, and they came to his side. “Garen, John, I need you too move to the backlines for this fight and provide magical support to the troops in case the Scourge has any of their spell casters with them. I will be in the front lines to help hold off the Scourge’s melee troops.”
- “Yes, sir,” they replied, and each brandished their war-hammers in a salute. Morec brandished his mighty broadsword – etched with holy runes – in response before waling off.
- The other troops had already fallen into formation. Morec glanced over each of them, each was frightened – nay, terrified – each was certain they were about to die.
- “Warriors of Lordaeron, hear me!” Morec’s voice boomed throughout the valley. “Today marks a day of retribution, today marks the day we make out stand against the Scourge! Many of our hero’s have fallen; the crown prince – Arthas – led the Scourge attack that killed Uther Lightbringer himself.” There was a murmur throughout the ranks of the troops. “But,” Morec continued, “if Lightbringer were here today, if he stood where I stand now, he would say this to you: the Light is the most powerful thing we posses. With it we will make out stand against the Scourge, against the Darkness!”
- Cries came from behind him, Morec turned to see the forces of the Scourge pouring over the dam that blocked Darrowmere Lake from pouring over into the valley. Grotesque creatures, with grayed, rotting flesh and bones protruding from it. “Solders, lets us make that stand now! For the Light! For Lordaeron! For King Terenas!”
- The battle was joined.

Fixed the "Wall of text" problem, now it just takes up a massive ammount of space on the page, so read it and enjoy!
Or else...

This has got a fair number of views, but without comments I can't tell wheter you like it or not (I'm not reffering to you Loosa).
Nevertheless, I have completed work on the second part of Light and Death and it will be posted on General Discussion this saturday.

Pretty good if a bit short to start with. Other than spelling errors, I would say to indent instead of hyphenate each paragraph, but if I remember correctly, Wowhead won't let you do that. :(
All in all, I'm looking forward to see where you go with this.

Check out the next instalment this saturday, the plot thickens and makes an interesting turn.
But too short you say? The reason for that is so that I can keep the thing going on for a long period of time without worrying about running out of ideas.

This was a great read. I enjoyed it and even though it was short, that just means I actually have time to read the
entire
thing without skimming. Thank you for having the courage to post your work publicly. I am actually pretty shy about my own work.

A few spelling mistakes here and there but, meh, over all that was quite a good read. Well Done! :D
Yeah, this was before I managed to recruit one of my freinds to edit it from me, Page 3 is about when the spelling and grammer began to get cleaned up.
And yeah, HOLY NECRO BATMAN!
