Chapter 28: Land of Undead

Year 34 of the Fourth Age (Since the Dark Portal Opens and the Conflict between Humans and Orcs Began)

Northrend

Lo'Gosh stood aboard the airship heading towards Northrend. The Empire is moving in full strength. The ships all heading towards the uncharted lands of Northrend. Dozens of Airships, hundreds of warships.

Lo'Gosh stood as his Generals and Commanders stood behind him. Along with the newly align Death Knights.

The Death Knights were sturdy and a well-added addition to the imperial army.

Lo'Gosh knew taking the beachhead would be very difficult.

Arthas would be waiting for them and would have a greeting party for them. The near hundred thousand men and women under his command would face a force the full might of the Scourge.

The winds have turned cold. The further north they traveled, the fewer signs of life appeared. No seagulls, or birds of any kind, let alone marine life – a frozen wasteland.

The Alliance had established a port on Northrend and had heavy fighting at the beach while trying to keep the foremen safe as they built a fort for more alliance forces.

Northrend appears on the horizon as Lo'Gosh eyes the northlands carefully. The journey had been long, and now they had to land on enemy shores. An enemy that does not rest nor tire.

"Have the Knights of the Ebon Blade take the vanguard; I want our rangers to support them with range fires along with our mage," Lo'Gosh shouts over the storm. "Have our healers on standby for the wounded!"

Everyone nods their heads as they prepare to attack the shores of Northrend. The moments the ships touch the beaches, they rush out the ships onto the land where the Scourge stood waiting for them. Lo'Gosh ran faster than anyone else and quickly started cutting down the Scourge from the Ghouls to their Abominations.

"All life will meet the same fate!" The Lich King's voice could be heard through the stormy wind. "death awaits you, upon your footsteps on these shores!"

Lo'Gosh paid Arthas no mind and continues his task.

"Watch our flanks!" Jaina shouts over the wind as she conjures ice pillars to form a wall to prevent the Scourge from overrunning their forces. The Elves rush into battle with Broll leading the Charge in his bear form, powering through the massive Scourge.

Lo'Gosh continues to slice every Scourge that came his way. Not caring how far he went or how deep he went. Once he was far enough, with countless undead Scourge surrounding him, he grabs his new sword and unsheathes the blade.

A whitish-blue like lightning erupts from his sword, killing the Scourge in the thousands. The magical attack causes a hole in the Scourge line with the destroyed undead unable to be reanimated.

"Push forward!" shouts Lady Jacelyn. The Death Knights quickly use their powers and mastery over the undead to push the Scourge backward. Lo'Gosh walks forward covered in dead blood from the countless minions of the Scourge he slaughtered.

"Where are the Alliance and Horde?" Lo'Gosh asks the Captain, who walks up towards him.

"They landed a couple of leagues east of us," says the Captain. "the Horde has taken over a valley and is building a fortress which will support their zeppelins to the mainland. The Alliance has taken over the southern banks to help support their navy."

"Who is in command?"

"Garrosh Hellscream leads the Horde," says the Captain. Lo'Gosh stops short and looks at the Captain. Lo'Gosh expected Saurfang to lead the expedition. "High King Varian Wrynn is personally leading the expedition, in his place High Commander Halford Wyrmbane of the 7th Legion."

"Be mindful of the Horde," says Lo'Gosh. "Garrosh will do something to prove us into battle."

"Should we approach the Alliance for a further expedition?" asks the Captain.

"No, that won't do much good either," says Lo'Gosh. "There are some in the Alliance, who don't like elves or respect the Empire in general."

The Captain nods his head.

Several days of fighting with the Scourge made it difficult, but the Empire eventually began to move ground. They started making their way north before they enter an area to their complete and utter surprise – an area in Northrend that is flourishing with a jungle.

The elves immediately began to look around a base to set up.

Lo'Gosh couldn't help but wonder the reason behind the forest in the middle of the land of the undead. Perhaps it holds some secret as to defeating the Lich King.

Lo'Gosh walks around, scouting the area where the camp is getting set up and comes across a waterfall where he sees a night elf bathing in its waters.

Lo'Gosh being modest turns around in embarrassment. Then he recalls something strange about this Night Elf. She had to horns growing out of her head. He's seen antlers on Night Elves head, Broll travels with him all the time, but not horns.

Lo'Gosh turns back upon the elven maiden, cleaning herself without much care. Lo'Gosh takes a closer look at her and sees she wasn't infected by the Plague at all. Her body looks healthy and pure.

The maiden gets up and disappears behind the bushes, making Lo'Gosh wonder who the elven maiden was to bathe so openly in this place.

"Did you enjoy watching me?" a voice says to Lo'Gosh's side.

Lo'Gosh turns to see the elven maiden walking before him. She is now wearing elven leggings as a chainmail shirt in her hand. Her large breasts bounce with each step in the forest, silent as the night.

"You're not a member of my expedition," says Lo'Gosh.

The elf smiles.

"No, I am not, I am something else – something more," says the she-elf.

Lo'Gosh studies her a bit more closely and could see the crescent moon on her forehead. She also is wearing a chocker of the crescent moon on her neck. A symbol that she is destined to be his mate.

"Who are you?" Lo'Gosh asks the she-elf.

"As Alexstrasza is worship and respect by the High Elves, I too am respected by the Night Elves," says the she-elf.

Lo'Gosh looks at her as he ponders the meaning behind her words.

"Ysera," says Lo'Gosh looking upon the Lady of the Green Dragonflight. The Aspect of Dreams.

Ysera smiles at Lo'Gosh as she walks before him and places her hand on his cheek.

"My sister says you have a pure-heart but ravish her greatly," says Ysera.

Lo'Gosh tries not to think about how Alexstrasza begs him to impregnate her with children.

"How is your sister," Lo'Gosh asks, having not seen Alexstrasza for some time.

"She's expecting to give birth soon to your child," Ysera smiles with a smile.

Lo'Gosh almost fainted at the sound of his child would be soon coming out of the Dragon Queen's womb.

"Don't fret little one," says Ysera. "Lo'Gosh isn't known for sticking around his children when they have strong mothers."

"Lo'Gosh's spirit I may have, but I'm not Lo'Gosh," says Lo'Gosh.

"You are Lo'Gosh, in more ways than you can know," says Ysera. Ysera does not attempt to hide her body before Lo'Gosh in a clear sign like her sister; she's in heat and desire to be mated.

Lo'Gosh didn't understand why he had all these women coming to him. Ysera wraps her hands around him as she embraces Lo'Gosh and lowers him down towards the river where they prepare to take another bath.

Lo'Gosh lies on the ground with Ysera on top of him sleeping after the intense fuck session they had. Ysera cunt is dripping with Lo'Gosh semen dripping out of her while more remains inside her stomach. Lo'Gosh wasn't sure why he kept doing this knowing the dragons wanted his child.

Ysera snuggles on Lo'Gosh as he holds her gently in his arm. He had to return quickly before his people began to freak out on his disappearance.

Lo'Gosh sits upright, magically conjuring his clothes back on his body as he stands upright as Ysera snuggles on the wet grass they were lying in as she tries to enjoy confront of what just happened between them. Ysera opens her eyes and looks at Lo'Gosh, standing ready for battle.

"Why are you so tense?" asks Yssera.

"I have to remain ready," says Lo'Gosh. "we don't know when the Scourge will attack us again."

Ysera lets out a chuckle. "you are a pup. The Scourge doesn't come here. This is a safe-haven from the Scourge, the only place that's a haven from the Scourge in Northrend."

Lo'Gosh looks at her, wondering why she kept it quiet for so long. He also began to realize why she was so comfortable bathing out in the open without fear of attack. It wasn't because she was a Dragon Aspect, but she knew Northrend better than anyone else.

"So there are no dangers in this area?" asks Lo'Gosh.

"Oh, there are some," says Ysera. "the animals won't like it if you stumble upon their territory and will attack. Other than that, you will be safe and be able to recover."

"Why are you here?" asks Lo'Gosh.

Ysera stands up and looks at Lo'Gosh.

"There is a place east of here, the Wyrmrest Temple that requires your assistance," says Ysera. "my brothers and sisters are keeping it safe, but the Lich King presses on even now. We are seeking to retreat here away from the Lich King and the Scourge."

"Why can't you?" asks Lo'Gosh.

"We have eggs there," says Ysera. "our eggs cannot be moved so carelessly. Still, if you were to help us, I know the other Aspect would be grateful for your aid."

"Where is Alexstrasza?" asks Lo'Gosh.

"Resting in the Wyrmrest Temple," says Ysera. "you should see her, though I'm not sure how long she'll be able to restrain herself if you're in her chambers."

Lo'Gosh flushes knowing the Dragon-Queen is very frisky in the sheets and very demanding in having his children.

Ysera waves her hand as her clothes appear on her once more, wearing elven leggings with that crop top on her breast that tightens, making them look even bigger.

"Why doesn't the Scourge invade this place?" asks Lo'Gosh.

"There are Pylons that keep the Scourge out," says Ysera. "even if they want to invade, they can't. You are free to set up a new home and capital here if you desire. I'm sure my siblings are getting ready to transfer here anyway. Jaina Proudmoore would be of great assistance."

Ysera turns and disappears into the bushes, leaving Lo'Gosh alone.

Lo'Gosh knew the next time she appears; it would be with a swollen belly.

Lo'Gosh turns and walks back towards camp to meet with his people. The idea of a tropical paradise as a new location that could back up Winterspring and Northern Kalimdor.

Lo'Gosh returns to camp where his people freight over his location and safety. No more than Vereesa, who spoke in a rapid breath on his whereabouts and him being 'irresponsible.'

Lo'Gosh stood there, letting Vereesa rant about his dumb decision.

"I spoke with Ysera," Lo'Gosh says simply.

Everyone who heard those words stops short and turns to Lo'Gosh upon hearing the words of meeting with the Mother of Dreams.

"She's here?!" Broll says, unable to hide his excitement.

"She was," Lo'Gosh replies. "she's heading east of here, to the Wyrmrest Temple. She wants my help in securing the Temple from the Scourge."

"We haven't seen any sign of the Scourge within this area," says Vereesa.

"Nor will you," Lo'Gosh says. "pylons are protecting this area from the Scourge so we'll be safe setting up a base from any Scourge threat. Be wary of the wildlife, though."

Tyrande, who didn't approach Lo'Gosh, stands back looking at him, knowing she would try to get some alone time with him as soon as possible. That was no longer an easy thing to do, as his many consorts all wanted his attention and alone time.

Lo'Gosh walks over to the scouts where his generals were planning where to establish a new base now that they knew this place was safe from the Scourge. Once they could get a base up and running, Jaina could case a rune spell that would allow them to connect to their capital with ease.

Lo'Gosh walks over to Vereesa, who looks at her lover in confusion.

"You're going back," Lo'Gosh says simply.

"I will not," Vereesa snaps back at her lover. "I have a duty to led my rangers!"

"That is indeed true," Lo'Gosh says as he looks at his first consort. "that being said, you also have a duty to protect the child in your womb first and foremost."

Vereesa takes a step back as she looks at her lover in surprise.

"You're pregnant?!" Valeera says in surprise.

"How long did you know?" Vereesa asks in a whisper.

"Before we left, you were in the bathroom throwing up," Lo'Gosh says. "a clear sign of morning sickness. I know you are brave and courageous, but you don't have to carry this burden yourself. You are returning to the Empire where you will rule in my sted. I don't want our child exposed to dangers, especially by the Scourge. We don't know what Arthas would do to our born child if he captures you."

Vereesa says nothing as she places her hand on her stomach, knowing the child growing within her would be in danger within Northrend.

"Why did you say anything beforehand?" Vereesa asks in a soft whisper.

"I wasn't sure," Lo'Gosh admits. "I also wanted to see what you would say. Right now, your priority is to stay healthy and protect our child."

Vereesa says nothing as she looks at Lo'Gosh and nods her head, reluctantly agrees to return to the WInterspring to take care of herself during her pregnancy.

The Imperials immediately got to work building a suitable base in Northrend that would safeguard the means for supplies from the mainland. The base was slow at the start but soon became operational.

Without the threat of the Scourge attacking them, many of the elves were able to sleep without worry.

Jaina disappears after receiving a summons from the Kirin Tor at Dalaran after they transported their city over the western side of Cystalsong Forest.

Lo'Gosh sits on one of the tree branches overlooking Northrend and couldn't help but ponder on how some of the most dangerous places in Azeroth were often the most beautiful.

Lo'Gosh turns his head to see Jaina teleport beside him.

"What did the Kirin Tor say?" Lo'Gosh asks Jaina.

"They are going to provide Dalaran as headquarters for the Alliance and the Horde," Jaina says as she passes the message.

Lo'Gosh says nothing as he took a moment to take in the information.

"Not to the Imperials?" Lo'Gosh says without looking at Jaina.

Jaina shook her head.

"Afraid not," Jaina says. "the council states you don't need protection, being a demigod and all."

Lo'Gosh says nothing as he looks upwards at the night sky.

"They are provoking me into war," Lo'Gosh states coldly. "they will regret this, as Dalaran doesn't offer protection from the Scourge. Let them stay hidden in their flying fortress, I understand Dalaran isn't the only magical city that can float."

"You wish to claim a lost city and turn it into a fortress," Jaina says in surprise.

"Yes," Lo'Gosh says. "a floating island where we can safely hide and use as headquarters for our people. Even as a potential capital. It won't take long for Garrosh Hellscream to turn his attention to Ashenvale and Winter Spring. He's nothing but a warmonger, seeking blood before honor."

"What do you think of Varian and the Alliance?" Jaina asks slowly.

"The Alliance is a state of decline," Lo'Gosh answers truthfully. "they have forgotten the very reason behind the Alliance, and what made them strong. Too many individuals within the Alliance are fighting for their own self-interest instead of the common good. Not to mention too many Alliance leaders hate the Horde for their past actions, unwilling to move forward."

"You think a war between the Alliance and Horde is inevitable?" Jaina asks.

"That is no doubt going to happen, and it will happen soon. Garrosh is pushing for war among the Horde, and factors are moving, but seen and unseen that plot against us. The recent attack at Theramore proves enemies are lurking within the shadow seeking to destroy us."

"Do you have any idea who they are?" Jaina asks.

"According to Vanessa's information, the attackers were from a cultist group calling themselves 'The Twilight Hammer,' seeking to return the Old Gods to Azeroth," Lo'Gosh says simply.

"The Old Gods?" Jaina repeats. "I haven't heard much of 'Old Gods,'" Jaina says, trying to rack her brains upon the name.

"I'm not surprised," Lo'Gosh says, standing tall. "few in Azeroth are even aware of the Old God's existence. They are even more powerful and more dangerous than the Burning Legion. World Devours in the service of their masters."

"Their masters?" Jaina repeats in confusion.

"Have you've never wondered why you've been forbidden from studying and practicing the magic of the Void?" Lo'Gosh asks Jaina.

"Not in many years," Jaina replies. "I was an apprentice learning the ways of magic and only came across Void Magic by mishap. The subject is heavily forbidden."

"The Void Lords," Lo'Gosh says, looking up at the stars. "reside within the darkest of places within the cosmos. They are the most dangerous beings you will ever encounter. Capable of devouring anything and anyone. Not much is known about these beings. All I know is they created the Old Gods in an attempt to consume the worlds in darkness. Azeroth has for millenniums, stood in defiance to the Void Lords, the Old Gods, and the Burning Legion."

"Is the Burning Legion allies with Void Lord or the Old Gods?" Jaina asks at once.

"No," Lo'Gosh replies instantly. "they are not allies. They are enemies and will destroy one another. One reason why the Burning Legion commits to its Crusades is to get enough numbers to take on the Old Gods and the Void Lords. Saragaras is one of the most dangerous opponents we will ever face, but even he's a child compare to the Void Lords."

"Two forces of evil cannot stand each other," Jaina mutters.

"It was an Old God, that corrupted Queen Azshara," Lo'Gosh says without looking at Jaina.

Jaina looks at Lo'Gosh, who continues to stare out into the horizon.

"Does Tyrande know?" Jaina asks.

"I think she suspects what happened to her former Queen," Lo'Gosh replies. "Queen Azshara has long sought a mate who could equal her in strength, beauty, and power. Saragaras came and easily manipulated Azshara's desires by promising her his power for her. The day the Legion attempted to destroy Suramar, Queen Azshara got swept into the sea, where an Old God began to corrupt her into the Naga Queen of Nazjatar Empire."

"Can you save her?" Jaina asks Lo'Gosh.

"Possibly," Lo'Gosh replies uncertainly. "I cannot make promises that I can reverse the damage done upon Azshara. Her story is both sad and terrifying. Both the Old Gods and the Burning Legion have been using her to bring about the destruction of Azeroth."

"Do you think she cares?" Jaina asks.

"I do not know," Lo'Gosh says softly. "I will know when I confront her."

Jaina says nothing as Lo'Gosh looks south-east, knowing he would have to head towards the Wyrmrest Temple. The war against the Scourge would soon become more devastating. Jaina did not know if her heart could handle seeing Arthas in his wretched form.
