"Tensetsu Sannin Monogatari - The Tale of the Legendary Three"

Legions of undead guards swarmed and buried all of Hillsbrad like a plague. Emboldened by the Legions, the Horde surged forth from their encampment in Tarren Mill.  The Alliance fled like cowards. Orcs, Taurens, Trolls, and Undead reveled in the slaughter as they collected their trophies - ears, scalps, and tabards all bearing the craven marks of Kingsguard and Resolution. With no resistance left before them, the Horde set their eyes on the peaceful township of Southshore.

Atop their lifeless mounts, Grieves and his captains crested the hill overlooking the defenseless town.  Like greedy little children, they bickered among themselves. Just when it seemed that they had resolved their dispute, Grieves toppled from his mount, lifeless. The cause of death?  Brain hemorrhaging and a brutally eviscerated throat.  Slayn stood over the corpse admiring his work. The Horde looked on in horror - Death had stolen into their midst.  As quickly as he appeared, Slayn vanished.

Filled with rage, Buliwyf howled in anger.  He stopped.  He caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eye.  As the other captains vied for the now vacant role of raid leader, Buliwyf turned to face the danger that was approaching.  He shouted a warning to his oblivious comrades, but it was too late.  In the blink of an eye, Nekro descended upon them, bounded from her brilliant frostsaber, and flooded their minds with dark magicks. The Horde were helpless as waves of terror washed over them.

The battle ended quickly.  In between inflicting pain and keeping the Horde paralyzed, Nekro kept a watchful eye over her friends. Naruto joined the fray. Naruto specialized in killing the cowardly, and he made it a point to bury his blades into the backs of fleeing Horde with extreme prejudice.  Like art in motion, Slayn ripped through his opponents like a whirling dervish, leaving only carnage and corpses in his wake.

The ambush was masterfully planned, and none of the Horde escaped to tell the tale. After their victory, the three friends made a pact to unite and pursue their shared dream - to create the perfect guild.  They succeeded... and Shinigami is their legacy.
