After making the long trek up the mountain, Kresh has finally come to its peak. In the giant hollowed out cave, he can hear breathing. The dragon's breathing is so strong, it seems as if the very mountain itself is breathing with it. Laying deep with in the cave dwells the reason Kresh is here. A dragon yes but not just any dragon, Kresh is outside the lair of Karrthus, the Tyrant of Jund. Kresh has grown tiresome of the rule Karrthus has and now attempts to take it from him..
" Awaken tyrant! I challenge you to battle to rule over Jund!" Kresh yells into the cave.
With a mighty growl and the earth shaking beneath his feat, he hears the beast awaken. With a split second to spare, Kresh dives out of the way just in time as a giant fireball comes barreling past just seconds where he stood. Then he appears, Kresh the Tyrant of Jund powerful, ruthless and now very angry to be awoken.
Not a word is spoken between the two for a moment until Karrthus breaks the silence.
" Hmph, you? You have come to challenge my rule? Well at least I will have a tasty meal by the end of all this." The dragon growls at Kresh.
Both warriors arm themselves for the other as Kresh kicks things off. With a rush of mana, Kresh sends out two goblins to get the start of his army ready to face the dragon. Letting out a low growl, Karrthus just sits patiently building his own mana charge. Being a large powerful dragon, it tends to take some time for this. He doesn't mind, watching his next meal tremble with fear only makes him even more hungry for his meal. Now Kresh is on a roll, he sends in his goblins to attack the beast and casts out Goblin Bombardment with Mortician Beetle out as well. Karrthus growls with a chuckle as he continues to build his might.
" Attack me with everything you have foolish warrior.. You will need every chance you have if you hope to defeat me." Growls the dragon.
The dragon continues to grow stronger allowing Kresh to send in his goblins again for some minor damage to the beast. Continuing to build his army, Kresh calls the Shattergang Brothers to his army and ready their unique talents. Feeling the need to do just something, the beast started to kick start his mana building and even sent out the Vexing Shusher to provide some amusement. The poor Shusher didn't last long, Kresh would rise to the battle and sacrifice some of his own army to take it down. This only made Kresh even stronger though.
" I'm afraid you won't last that long at all at this rate beast! So much for a worthy foe for me." Kresh mocks the dragon with confidence he will bring him down.
Growling with some anger, the dragon just continues to build his power. Casting out the spell Explore to further build his mana supply, getting anixious to show this warrior his might. Kresh didn't hesitate for a single step. He charged at the dragon to deal a heavy blow himself but was met by an abrupt stop. Karrthus expected this and Putrifed the warrior in his tracks. With an evil like grin, the dragon just chuckled knowing how foolish his opponent is. Calmly planing out his moves, Karrthus lets loose the Rites of Flourishing to add a twist to his latest challenge. Krenko, Mob Boss makes his appearance now for Kresh as the might beast then sets loose a flurry of spells. All this time spent building up his mana wasn't just a show. Karrthus flashbacks his Increasing Ambition, then lets the powers of Sol Ring and Doubling Cube come forth.
" Too bad you won't last much longer mortal. I have barely worked up an appatite in this battle. Make any next attack of yours your best, as it may be your last warrior." Karrthus rumbles as he then grins knowing what he has in mind for Kresh.
With very few resources at his command, Kresh just gets armed to attack with all he has and hopes to keep something back to defend himself. Attacking with what he could, Kresh sends his army in dealing minor damage to the dragon yet again. Finally the dragon roared in what Kresh thought was pain but it quickly turned into laughter.
"I warned you Kresh! I am the Tyrannical ruler of Jund for a reason! Mwuahaha, now fear my power!!" The dragon roared a powerful roar.
As the dragon armed himself for battle, he used his Doubling Cube with Sol Ring to generate even more mana. With such a large build up, Karrthus sent out his Spellbook and followed it up with one of his favorite spells. Dragonstorm! Dragonstorm did just what it sounded like. From what nowhere came Scourge of Valkas, Broodmate Dragon and even Balefire Dragon. All stood proud and ready to serve the might tyrant.
Faced with such power, Kresh stood as strong as he could trying to come up with a way to battle such power.
"Hahaha don't even try mortal. For you have lost this battle, and with it your life!" Karrthus chuckled.
Kresh then realized what the dragon meant. Valkas has a very deadly power that he enjoys using. Each dragon that has come forth since he entered the battle allowed him to use it. Valkas alone has dealt severe damage to the brave warrior. Now with each dragon coming forth to attack him Kresh could see there was no way to win. Bracing himself for impact, they roasted both him and his army in a hellish blast of fire.
Kresh has fallen to the Tyrant of Jund. Another warrior too proud to know when a battle is not with in his will to win. The mighty dragon feasted upon his spoils of victory and returned to his cave to catch up on his interrupted sleep....
Take this tale to heart. Kresh was a very proud and experienced warrior who has fallen to the might of a dragon. Do not be a fool believing you can challenge this beast, he has ruled Jund for many a year and very well could for many more... Truly a powerful beast for anyone to worship, yes?
