(( Page 36, here at last... That's all I've got to say, couldn't think of anything else. ))
- Celen hissed in rage and tried to attack Scalebender, but Nilon and his other two allies pulled her off.
- "It has magic!" she screamed, sounding more in pain then anything. "Let me go! Let me feed!"
- She had been like this for days now; fine one moment then leaping at one of the Spellcasters - usually Scalebender - the next. It was slowing down their travel greatly. Nilon had underestimated what would happen to her, now that she had tasted fel energy - and judging by the radiation he had felt from the relic before its destruction, a lot of it. She had descended into the ranks of the Blood Elves faster then anything he had seen.
- That alone may not have had been such a problem, but she was also turning into a Wretched even faster. Already her skin had begun to loose color, looking more like the Wretched's gray color. Her posture began to slump, and her gaze darted around frequently, and always had a hungry look to it. Arcane crystal-like growths were already beginning to pop up on her back. Nilon knew that she might not have much time left if they couldn't do something.
- But Nilon had been able to ressist the descent into the Wretched state once, he was sure Celen could. He hoped Celen could.
- "You have to fight it," Nilon told her. "You have to resist feeding the addiction."
- "How can you say that when you know exactly what I'm going through!" Celen retorted. "Just give me a mana crystal - a shard even - and I'll be good, I promise."
- Nilon looked away, not wanting to respond. He knew that giving her more magic wouldn't help her condition any, but he couldn't stand seeing her in pain like this. He nodded at Scalebender. "Give her something."
- The Lord Naga hissed disapprovingly, but still conjured a small crystal and handed it to the other Mage. Celen drank it in like water.
- Nilon didn't watch, he remembered all to well what the sight looked like. He had once been the same way, as had many of his friends in Garithos' New Alliance. But even then, they had so many others who were going or had gone through the same thing to look to for support. Celen had only Nilon and Valinaria. The Paladin, frankly, didn't know what to do.
- The ground began to shake and Nilon quickly saw a massive Abomination lumber towards them. Fortunately, thought, it hadn't spotted them yet.
- "Hide, quickly," he ordered, and the five living did just that.
- As the monster moved closer, Nilon could see that a necromancer - a Dwarven one - was walking by its side. The Abomination stopped, and all of its stomachs gurgled.
- "I hungwey, master," it said.
- The Necromancer chuckled. "Don't worry, my pet. Soon there'll be plenty of food for ye." The Abomination cheered.
- Celen moved forward slightly. "It has magic," she said. "I want it!"
- "Celen!" Nilon said sternly, "you said you'd behave!"
- She looked at him, hate simmering in her eyes. Nilon knew that look. He knew that she thought that he was trying to keep her from the magic so that he could have it for
himself
. She spat at him and then rushed into the clearing where to two under were.
- "Eh?" the Dwarven Necromancer said. "What's this now?"
- Celen picked up the Dwarf by the scruff of its beard. She grinned madly.
- "Put me down lass!" the Necromancer demanded. "Craig, kill it!"
- The Abomination raised one of its massive meat cleavers, but a flurry of magical and ranged attacks from Celen's allies brought it down.
- "Such power," the Mage muttered, licking her lips, "it must be mine!" She began to drain the Necromancer's power.
- "Celen! Stop!" Nilon ran to try and stop her, but a magical blast threw him backwards.
- Within moments the Necromancer was void of energy, but something happened. Celen didn't stop draining, and after the Necromancer was powerful she began to drain his life. In half the time it had taken her to absorb him mana she had turned him into a lifeless husk.
- Celen dropped the body. She stood still for a while, but then began to slowly turn around. The fel-green glow in her eyes was gone, but now they glowed with a different light.
- Now they glowed icy-blue.
- "For the Lich King!" she shouted and tried to attack her former allies.
- With a single bolt of Holy energy, Nilon knocked her out.
- He walked up to her limp body. He knew that he had to do, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. There
had
to be another way.
- His gaze turned to the east, and his hope returned.
- Sitting in defiance of the Plague-scarred sky was Lights Hope Chapel.
-
Thank the Light
, Nilon said as he picked up Celen and ran towards it. If anything could saver the Mage's soul it was the Argent Dawn.
- He hoped so. He hoped to the Light so.

i like your writing style, but comon change from a high elf to a blood elf to a half wretched to a deathknight is a litle to much from the good stuff

Writer's Commentary:
- In an effort to keep my readers I'll post an important fact early: she's not dead... yet. She absorbed the powers of a Necromancer, and that is slowly converting her to the Scourge's side. So there's still a chance that she might be saved... possibly.
- Perhapes it was a bit too much, but it made sense to me when I wrote it. Celen's fate will have to wait for another Page, because Page 37 once again features Morec and Itheac *cheer*.
- Hopefully there will still be people around to read it...

Celen turning to the Lich King?

Lich Queen is more like it.
EDIT: Sorry Sylvanas/Jaina/Arthas' Sister (a cookie if you know her name)
Strange, for some reason I read that as "Celen turning
into
the Lich King?"
My eyes must get a kick out of these situations.

Yes, they are.
And you kill off a lot of people, but I don't think you've killed as many as I have yet.

I don't kill off that many, only Jason.
Arceus and Darklock don't count, they were already dead >:)
