Twilight and Arthas run over to the small base consisting of a town hall as well a some peasant mining old from a gold mine. Uther asked “So how did the defence of Strahnbrad go?”

Arthas frowned “I had to help the villagers around the town, thus Twilight took full charge of the defence and didn’t leave any Orcs for me to fight.”

Twilight laughed as she flapped her wing for emphasise “Well I’m the faster of the two of us, plus I can move as the crow flies.”

Uther smiled “Well it’s good to have you both here. I have sent two of best knights to parley with the Orc’s leader.”

They watched as two horses rode back without their masters, Arthas growled “Let’s go and destroy them!”

Twilight frowned “Arthas, vengeance isn’t the way Paladins like us do things.”

Uther nodded “She’s right, we can’t be vengeful in our actions or we become as bad as they are.”

Arthas sighed “You are both right, I’m sorry I let my emotions get the better of me but they must be stopped.”

Uther nodded “I want your two to lead the attack if you’re up for it.”

Arthas grinned “We won’t disappoint you, right Twilight?”

Twilight grinned “Of course we won’t, let’s show them what we can do!”

Uther nodded “Well first you need to learn how to set up a base, how about I show you.”

Twilight commanded two peasants as she set the Town Hall to train more peasants “Hey you two, I want you two to begin construction on a barracks!”

The two peasants nodded ”Right away milady!”

Arthas blinked “I have never been given command before, where did you learn how to command.”

Twilight frowned “I commanded a simple base up North, it only had Town Hall , I had a Barracks and a few farms constructed to provide a force to repel the invaders but little more than that. I don’t know much about towers or upgrades.”

Arthas frowned “I see.” He walked out of the base only to see a group of dwarves, he frowned “Twilight, there are a group of dwarves here maybe they could use our help!”

Twilight nodded “We’ll help them once the base is set up and defensible.”

Arthas nodded , Twilight smiled as the peasants moved out of the town halls to begin mining gold and harvesting lumber. Soon the barracks began producing footmen.

Suddenly three Orc grunts rushed at the base, Twilight rushed at the the Orcs tearing them to shreds with a single swing of her blade. She frowned at the two peasants “In need you to build more farms, I expect you to set up five in order to continue production.”

Twilight turned to Arthas as the two trained footmen stood behind them, Twilight nodded “Let’s go speak to the dwarves!”

Arthas frowned “I’m curious why Dwarves would be here this close to an Orc encampment?’

Twilight nodded “That is a good question?” Meanwhile at the base footmen were pouring out of the barracks to support Uther’s defence of the base.

Twilight and Arthas asked as they approached the five dwarven riflemen and one dwarf carrying a massive mortar. Arthas frowned “What are dwarves doing so far out and next to an Orc encampment no less?”

The dwarf with the mortar frowned “We are hunting a black drake known as Searinox, the heart of a black dragon can bestow fiery enchantments upon a weapon. If you aid us what we make will be yours.”

Twilight nodded “Very well.”

The Dwarf bowed ”Forgive my, my name is Feranor Steeltoe. The use of my forge is at you disposal as are my fellow dwarves. Wish you luck.”

Twilight and Arthas headed south-east, the stench of death began to thicken with the air. Twilight growled “Damn these dragons must not have noses!”

Arthas hook his head “Black dragons love the stench of death.”

Twilight wrinkled her muzzle “Well then they are arseholes!” Arthas and the dwarves chuckled.

They heard two deep voices “It seems the humans and the minute cousins brought a tiny winged unicorn to satiate us.” Twilight let out a massive roar as her wing sent her flying at enormous speeds, a massive boom as purple energy surged outwards as she stuck one of the small drakes. The other was obliterated by the magical shockwave.

Arthas grinned as Twilight landed giving her a massive hug “That was amazing, how did you do that!”

Twilight frowned “I just flew at full speed, in truth I never really pushed my wings to their limits.”

Arthas chuckled “Well it was awesome, now let’s go get the dragon’s heart.” They continued to the end of the path only to find a black dragon heart lying on the ground,
Arthas blinked “Did you do this?”

Twilight blinked “It’s the only explanation for this but how can I be this powerful?”

Arthas laughed “Well it makes you awesome.” The riflemen were shocked, they had to shake their heads a few times before following the two Paladins back to Feranor.

Feranor frowned “Where did that big explosion came from?!

Twilight blushed sheepishly as she gave him the heart “It was me, I flew at full speed and that happened.”

Feranor laughed a she entered the forge “I was confused why a creature so friendly looking like you was a Paladin but you’ve shown you’re made of tough stuff .“ Twilight frowned as the sound of banging started, after a few minutes Feranor exited his forge passing her a fiery red orb, she passed it to Arthas.”

Arthas frowned “Why are you giving this to me, you slain the dragon?!”

Twilight shook her head “I can fly to hit flying enemies but you can’t ,with this orb you can attack enemies in the air so you get more use out of it.”

Arthas nodded “Good thinking.” They returned to the base, Uther frowned “Where did you go?”

Arthas smiled “Well we went to slay a local drake and got help from some dwarves who also made this orb.”

Uther nodded “Searinox, I had been wanting to have him slain but we haven’t had the forces to stop him from attacking the local farms.”

Arthas frowned “Are telling my father couldn’t spare men to slay such a beast…”

Twilight frowned as Arthas began to mumble “How has the base defence gone?”

Uther laughed “With the amount of footmen we have, the Orcs can’t get through.”

Twilight frowned “Well then me and Arthas are going to march on the enemy bases now, they have shown no sign of surrender so we must slay them.”

Arthas nodded “Let’s slay them before they attack any more of our people.” Twilight and Arthas each lead a squad of footmen with the riflemen following behind,after all the Orc bases were left in ruins they approached the Orc leader, a Blademaster.

The Blademaster grinned “You foolish Paladins, soon our demonic masters will soon return and cover this wretched world in flames.”

Arthas growled “As long as I can fight, I will not allow that to happen!” Twilight and Arthas frowned as the Blademaster split into three clones, despite this Twilight and Arthas quickly deposed of him.

Uther approached, Arthas frowned “What do you think those Orcs meant about these demons?’

Uther laughed “Those Orcs are just holding onto old forgotten traditions, we defeated their demon masters long ago.” Twilight and Arthas frowned as they followed him with frowns on their faces unsure if what Uther was saying was true or not.
