Chapter 2 in the ongoing Black Guard Fiction from Mythic Entertainment has been posted on the Herald. Read as the Warhammer Online Dark Elf, Rathann, takes his adventures to the Shadowlands. But first, there is this matter of the Dragon Oath.

“You have been forged as a weapon for the Witch King himself,” Halghast declared. “An instrument of his will and the murderous touch of his wrath.”

The halberd’s point sank a fraction of an inch into Rathann’s throat. A trickle of dark blood ran down its curved edge.

“Do you accept this oath, Rathann Darkmoon,” Halghast said, “until the moment of your death?”

Rathann bared his teeth in a feral grin. “Without mercy and without fail, until the moment of death,” he answered. “This I swear, in Khaine’s holy name.”
