3. BRING IT.

[mistorphan]

[Just because you're a lot bigger than she is doesn't mean she's backing down.]

I'm a lot stronger than I look!

[pay_willingly]

Indeed, I'd be a fool to take you lightly. However, I'm sure you don't want to die, just as I don't want to lose any more of my soldiers than I need to.

What do you say to coming to an easier arrangement?

[mistorphan]

You killed my mother and my village, and you want to talk things out?!

[Here, have some Thunder 1. On the house. Cause we're friends.]

[pay_willingly]

[Deflected! By Frostmorne. Cause Arthas's an asshole.]

Yes, I do. And you'll do it, because it's a way for all of these fine, innocent people to live.

Or are you going to let them die for your pride?

[brustriese]

Don't be ridiculous, your highness. I understand your feelings, but there's no way for us to pursue and defeat them with so few soldiers remaining. It's suicide.

[pay_willingly]

If we let them go, more innocent people will die! I can't even imagine how many! Do you want me to stay here and do nothing?

[brustriese]

I want you to stay here and lead your soldiers as a general, not get yourself and our men killed. We can regroup, reinforce, and catch them elsewhere, but not if you destroy what's left of us.

[pay_willingly]

I...

...fine. We'll regroup for now, but I want someone following them. If we lose them now, everything we've been through so far will have been for nothing.

[Not to break the way this is supposed to go, but Oswald probably wasn't too fond of Arthas in the first place. He remains fairly calm.]

Arthas. I didn't think anyone who once knew me would be foolish enough to make a deal with death like the one made for me.

[pay_willingly]

You think me a fool? This new arrangement has been quite beneficial for me.

[never_an_object]

You're rotting... though I can see the decay started in your mind. Are you fully a madman already?

[pay_willingly]

Madman? No. Shedding my soul granted me a clarity I never knew as a servant of that doomed realm.

[He wiped his blade with a cloth as he sheathed it]

It has been. The Rift Demons had kept my corps busy the last few weeks. Your skill is still as sharp as ever.

[pay_willingly]

I had heard that father had you sent here. Maybe he was hoping your patience would rub off on me.

[bejustorbdead]

It is true that he asked the Church to send the Holy Order here in specific - I hope it wasn't for that reason alone.

[pay_willingly]

Far from it. Right now, I'll take any help I can get. There is much to do.

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

[pay_willingly]

Much has changed since you saw me last. In honor of the years we've known each other, I'm going to offer you a choice.

[pay_willingly]

Any such reservations died along with the old Arthas. You can choose to taek your forces and stand aside, or you can die by my sword.

I almost hope you choose the later; Frostmorne's hunger is strong tonight.
