This is the Storyline with a majority of the events that have occured (as far as I have created) in my game, Warcraft: Apocalypse.
Icecrown Citadel Assault
After months of preparation, the final assault of Icecrown Citadel began.
Lead by High Crusader Dargren Athrin, who wielded a blade named "Undeadsbane", the siege was a success. A top the Frozen Throne, the Lich King and multiple leaders of the world stood face to face.
Tirion gripped the Ashbringer as it began to burst in holy light.
"ARTHAS!" He screamed.
"It ends here, and now! So many have fallen to your prison of a blade, so many have screamed for aid to the abominations you've unleashed upon this world, so many have the lust for vengeance! It ends today, Arthas, right here, right NOW!"
Tirion rushed towards Arthas and swung the Ashbringer, Arthas parried with Frostmourne and sent a chilling wave of cold down Tirions spine.
High Warlord Zakruul and High Overlord Saurfang held off the undead on one side of the Frozen Throne as King Magni Bronzebeard and Muradin Bronzebeard, accompanied by Dargren Athrin, held the other.
Tirion tried to regain his strength, but the Lich King was too quick. He send a wave of shadow at Tirion, knocking him to the ground. He then rushed at Muradin and raised his blade in the air, getting ready to impale Muradin as Magni screamed for him to look behind.
Just then, an arrow and firebolt zoomed past the Lich King's head. He turned around to see Jaina Proudmoore and Sylvanas Windrunner side-by-side.
The Lich King blasted Sylvanas and Jaina into a pillar, making them fall to the ground.
"Fools, my power is limitless, you fight in vain!" he bellowed.
Tirion caught his breath and rushed at Arthas with the Ashbringer. Arthas blocked the swing and whipped the Ashbringer onto the floor. Tirion's eyes were wide as his body was left open, and he was stabbed in the stomach by Frostmourne.
Dargren Athrin turned around, being a good friend of Tirion, he yelled out Tirions name in a tone of rage and despair.
Dargren began running to Tirion, but the Lich King suddenly stepped in front of him and backhanded him away like he was nothing.
"We are no longer on hallowed ground, fools! Your light cannot aid you now!" The Lich King mocked.
Jaina and Sylvanas regained conciousness and looked in terror, as well as the other leaders.
The Lich King casted a spell which sent bolts of shadow and frost everywhere, inflicting huge ammounts of pain to everyone. The leaders, half-conscious, looked at the Lich King and their soon to come deaths.
Just then, Dargren Athrin began to see the souls stolen by Frostmourne circle around him, though nobody else could see them.
Uther stepped up from the large crowd.
"Retribution must be brought, Dargren, you know what you must do".
Saurfang the Younger also appeared.
"Finish it, so my father may sleep knowing I am resting among the ancestors".
Bolvar Fordragon's tortured soul also appeared. (though bolvar himself was still living)
"The blood of his own people can only be repaid in blood".
And lastly, Dargrens own wife appeared, who was turned into a mindless ghoul by the Scourge.
"Do it for our son, Kuriann. At this very moment he prays you will return".
And in a flash of light, the spirits were gone.
Dargren used what was left of his strength to crawl to Tirion, who was still alive but close to death.
Tirion looked at Dargren and weakly nodded at him, knowing what he was going to do.
Dargren, with Undeadsbane in his hand, reached for the Ashbringer. In a blinding flash of light that was seen all the way in Valgarde, the two blades combined. The Lich King whipped around to see what had happened. Undeadsbane and the Ashbringer no longer existed, there was only Ashbane, a weapon of retribution.
Dargren looked at the Lich King with gleaming yellow eyes.
"I do not need to be on hallowed ground, I only need hope".
Dargren rushed at the Lich King and swung Ashbane with immense force. The force was so powerful, Frostmourne cracked and visible souls slowly seeped out of it.
The Lich King himself looked in terror
"This cannot be! I... I am invincible!".
"Your end is here." Dargren said.
Dargren jumped up into the air and sliced down, cutting across the Lich King's chest and smoke became to come out of the wound. The Lich King fell down to the cold floor of the Frozen Throne and laid there, lifeless.
Dargren immediately rushed to Tirion.
"Tirion! I finished it, i've ended it!"
Tirion looked at Dargren, too weak to speak. A smile slowly faded in, and then Tirions body began to glisten. Tirion's very body dissolved into light, leaving behind his armor, and became one with the light. Dargren knew that he at least died happy.
Dargren mended the weak leaders and then brought them to consciousness, they all aided in carrying Tirion's armor for his funeral. Dargren could hear Tirion's voice in his head. The voice was faint, but it sounded of "Thank you".
The Lich King waited untill they left, and dragged himself across the floor. The wound had stopped smoking and was now gushing with purple blood. The Lich King grabbed his helmet and began crawling. The Lich King's body left a trail of purple liquid as he dragged himself across the Halls of Icecrown Citadel. Eventually, he reached the Halls of Reflection, the Lich King's private chambers. There, he sat upon the Shadow Throne, a dark replica of the Lordaeron Throne Room that he himself dreamed of claiming as his own. He began to indulge himself in thoughts of hatred, think thoughts of denial, and began his planning of the new age of Azeroth that was soon to become.
The Apocalypse has begun.
Varian's Encounter
It was a dark and stormy night, the wind was howling in its hunt around the castles walls' - It was all so similar to the night years ago.
King Varian Wyrnn had fallen asleep on his throne, with his crown covering the eyes. It had been a very long day with a lot of major events, all thanks to the world wide celebration of Deathwing's defeat. The Horde and Alliance had finally learned to settle their differences and made peace, at least for the time being.
King Varian woke up by a sudden burst of thunder. He walked down the hallways of Stormwind Keep to his private quarters. He pushed opened the door of his quarters and saw the Lich King standing there. The Lich King swung his blade and beheaded Varian, blood shedding across the floor and Varian's soul eaten by Frostmourne.
Varian woke up, it was just a nightmare. Varian tried to get up from his throne, but he was restrained by an unknown force. Just then, Medivh walked from the shadows. Varian looked at the man and said "Who are you and why are you here?" in a rude tone.
Medivh revealed his identity to the young king.
Varian scoffed at Medivh, still with hatred for opening the Dark Portal. He asked in a harsh tone "What are you doing here?".
Medivh smiled and looked at Varian. He calmly said
"The banners of olden times are rising. The powers of the world are roused for battle. Azeroth's end will be caused by its very inhabitants very soon, king".
Varian looked at Medivh with the common "WTF" expression. He then stood from his throne and said "Would you repeat that?".
Medivh began to look frustrated.
"You heard me, Varian Wyrnn. Think quick, king, the Apocalypse is coming".
Before Varian could say anything else, Medivh was gone in a flash of lightning which brightened the dark halls of Stormwind Keep.
