Where Darkness lies

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Twenty years have past since the Dark armies lost the GreatWar, and fifteen since the last of the of the Major Lichees where killed the remnants of their army retreating into the cursed lands pasts the eastern border. Since then a relative peace has come which has allow the people to rebuild there homes, their lives, and work the land once more. This peace though has been not with out interruption. Every now and again a town is attack by some one who chooses the way of dark magics. So too has a plague overtaken the lands and have left the people with a great sense of unease as many towns fall to its effects. One also can not help but wonder what the Dark exiles have been up to in these fifteen years. All of these things have worn on the minds of the people, and even more on the minds to Paladins who watch over them.

Although this has been a matter of worry for one person in particular, a young raven haired woman called Lily. This woman's mind would not let her be at ease as if to keep her focused on a matter she would rather forget. Even now she tosses and turns in her bed as she can not find rest in her quiet home. In her mind fears come to life, and nightmares born causing trouble until at last she awakes"


"NOOOOO!" screamed Lily, quickly raising from bed, her heart racing form the nightmare that rose her. Disoriented and staring into the darkness around, her mind slowly returning to the small room she was in. "Only a dream lily." She said to herself placing her hand to her head "Only a dream, I-I am sure of it.". Her dark green eyes adjusting to the darkness of the room, lit only by what moon light coming in from the small window by the bed. Lily, unable to calm herself in the darkness, quickly reached over to her nightstand, and grabbing a tinderbox lit the bedside candle, and walked to her front room.

Once in her front room, Lily wasted no time in starting a fire to lighten to the dark room. Not sure what to do she began to pace the room in front of the confronting glow of the fire trying hard to calm herself, her mind still racing with thoughts. After some time Lily pulled up a chair to the fire.

Lily was beginning to feel somewhat at ease, but the thoughts of the dream would not leave her. "The undead have not been seen in force for fifteen years, and there is no reason to think that now things have changed." Lily said as she looked over at a book she had left before going to bed.

"This helped to ease my mind to rest once already, perhaps it can do so once more." picking up the book she began to read. Her eyes moved over the words, yet distracted by the dream she was unable to truly comprehend a single written word she saw, her eyes just gliding over meaningless symbols.

"Damn!" Lily said throwing the book down "No use, my accursed mind cannot even perform something as simple as reading a book, let alone find rest in one." Looking around Lily noticed the mess from her days work that she had left and decided to see if some work would get her mind off the dream.

She moved about the room picking things up and putting them in there places, yet still she could not focus. Upset Lily dropped herself back on her chair "Why does my mind go back to this damnable dream? Why am I tormented so? There is no way that it is real, no reason to believe that it has any connection to real life. So much of it is false." she said to herself as if trying to make an argument with her own mind, "Although why then can I not forget it, and why then do I feel such foreboding from it.". Not able to shake these thought she decided to see what she could make of her dream.

Note that this is still a work in progress. I always like to keep revising my works even after I finish them.
Edit:Rewrite 1:Did a lot of work on this part, still have some stuff to work out, but I think it is much better than before.

lol my first thought was that it was a post about Darkn3ss lying looks interesting/scary/unique by the way. l grammatical errors here and there. I'm guessing this is not starcraft related? keep it coming

creepy because I had a nightmare last night and it scared the !@#$ out of me

edit: now that I think of it I remember you mentioning that you were writing a fan-fic a while back...

Wonder what the dream is. This has peaked my interest and I am coming up with some possible ideas on what the dream may be.

Keep writing.

Nice to see a different fanfic for a change, looks very good

Different? Aren't all fanfics different they are for the most part made by different people.

Thanks for the comments people. Now a few things I would like to say.
1)This is not SC related if you have not guess yet. This is a story I have made based off a body of lore that I have made. I have had many influences for this lore.

2)I am a slow writer so do not expect me to post that often.

3)This is still a "living work" and by that I mean it may change I want it to. I never stop revising my works so if one day the story seem different well i might have changed it. I will post an "Edit" to let you know.

@Darkn3ss I almost wrote the title as you do your screen name, and I do not know if I am going to see Paranormal Activity.

@Destroyer I have been working on it long enough.

@Knight Keep wondering, but know I most likely will disappoint you;).

@Dorkmaster yes this is what I mentioned. I will see about fixing the errors when I have time.

I don't try to be disappointed. I like seeing what people are capable of and I know that everyone is more capable at different things. You may be a better writer than I in whatever genre this fanfic takes. There is no telling.

Lily's memory of the dream was still as vivid as the memory of her past day. The sight was that of a battle, outside a small destroyed town. Two armies were locked in combat one cold and lifeless belonging to a Necromancer , and the other, a group of soldiers lead by a young Paladin, Alexander, a childhood friend of Lily.

The outcome of the battle was known before the two sides meet; too few were the living on the field, and too many where the dead. Valor, skill, and brilliance were displayed by Paladin and his force, but all of these were not enough. The soldiers fell before soon only the Paladin remained. Although the Undead force did not swallow the Paladin up, but instead stood a distance form him, and the sea of undead open before him and a lone slender figure appeared. A notable expression of pain comes over the face of the Paladin recognizing the Necromancer who stands now before him. Suddenly the very shadows that surround the Paladin leaped up and grabbed him, he fights back as best he can, but was soon brought to his knees.

The Necromancer then summoned to hand the anguish and pain of countless tormented soul working them into a dark flame that harms flash, mind, and soul. The flame writhed harmless around the necromancers hand as it seem to expel the light as a normal flame would dark. The necromancers watched the flame with unseen face before turing to the Paladin and setting the flame upon him. What the Paladin felt what each of the soul felt in the end of their lives, combined it was torment unimaginable. Further more while his mind was being destroyed by the agony, his soul was being corrupted, ad twisted by the flame, and in what must have felt like a life time of torment most of his flesh was burned from his body. The shades let go and where once stood a noble Paladin now only stands a twisted minion for the Necromancer.

Lily's mind began to move away from the dream, yet the death of Alexander in such a remained. The horrifying fashion in which he was kill weighed heavily on her, made all the worse by how real the dream appeared. "Why did you have to go!" Lily said to herself, her voice full of emotion "Why could you not just stay here with me? Alexander, if I lost you I would surely lose myself !"

Unable to do much else Lily just stared long into that fire while dozens of memories wandered in her mind, some of which includes her childhood with Alexander, being raised by the monks and Paladins and the day she heard the news that Alexander decided to stay with the order and became a Paladin. Lily kept her thoughts on these things until the fire began to die, and she began to feel sleep calling her once more.
