It had been 4 months since the Paladins of Light had been created. During this time, Divaqs led them wonderfully and all was well. Untill a certain general of Diablo's army, a certain Sir. Gorash had heard of this society of knights that wished to end Diablo's life. This is the story of when he attacked and of a sacrifice that is made....
"My lord! Wake from your sleep! We are under attack." a sentry knocked upon Divaqs'door.
"What?" Divaqs asked.
"The castle is being attacked by Sir Gorash, he has hundreds of cave vipers and lesser underlings in his service." the sentry said.
"This is bad, we still only number 60 men. Call the mages and send them and the rogues to man the towers and walls. Have the warriors guard the doors." Divaqs commanded.
Divaqs put on his armor, and grabbed his Staff of Apocalypse. He readied himself for battle. When he walked out , he saw Uther, leader of the warrior group of the Paladins. He walked to his friend and kneeled in respect.
"Arise Lord Uther, what do you wish to report?" Divaqs asked.
"Divaqs...I know how I can turn the battle in our favor. I will challenge Sir Gorash to a duel,if I slay him...then the forces will lose confidence and give us a better chance."
"Uther, you can't! You are no match for Sir Gorash. Remember what happened to 10 of our men when they attacked him?" Divaqs asked incredously.
"I know...and most likely I will perish. But I have a plan," Uther stopped and pulled out a scroll of Apocalypse and a scroll of Portal," if I start to lose the fight, I shall cast both of these. The first will kill and injury most of Gorash's forces and the second will take a bunch of them with me to hell."
"Uther...this is madness. I forbid it." Divaqs said.
"I'm sorry my friend...this time I have to break your orders." Uther said and ran out to the gate, opened it and ran in the midst of the demons.
"NO!" Divaqs yelled.
Divaqs, quite upset about this turn of events was viciously killing demons in his wake on the top of the wall.
"I will at least assist Uther with this," he thoght as he and the other mages and rogues fire volley upon volley of magic and arrows upon the demons.
Many of the demons were being slain from these spells and as well as the axes and the swords of the warriors.
In the midst of the battle, Uther and a band of warriors engaged the enemy brutally, slicing and hacking their way through the chittering hordes of demons. Uther impaled another Cave Viper and swirled around to decapitate another hidden. All the while, the determined Paladin kept pressing through countless demons, pursuing his target. The thirteen foot tall Sir Gorash.
"Sir Gorash, if you dare I challenge you," Uther challenged in a booming loud voice.
" Ahh...a puny Paladin of Light wishes to challenge me eh? I accept you worthless servant of good!" Sir Gorash said and the two ran at eachother.
They met halfway and their swords crashed together so hard the entire battle around them stopped and marvelled at the strength of the blow. The two slashed, cut, met blades for half an hour, while the battle around them ensued. Uther had drawn the first blood from the demonic knight after that time with a smartly place slice.
" First blood I see," Sir Gorash said," I shall now kill thee!"
The thirteen foot knight smote Uther down to the ground. The six foot knight, now on his knees looked up at the towering man.
"Now die Uther." the knight stated simply.
"Uther!" Divaqs yelled.
Uther looked at his friend, who teleported in unbeknownst to him.
"I'm sorry Divaqs...take care of the Paladins..I shall return one day..." Uther said.
Uther then read the scroll of apocalypse. Huge bursts of fire were killing dozens of demons all around Divaqs and Uther, making them become burnt alive. Sir Gorash was struck by the fire of the spell.
He screeched and lunged at Uther. A portal appeared behind Uther. The knights large blade drove right through Uther's chest, the sound of the blade burying itself into his chest could be heard clearly. But the force of the charge knocked both into the portal.
"NOO!!!!!!!" Divaqs yelled, and stood for a moment shocked, his friend and second and command was slain...he must have been, for it was doubtful that one could have survived being run through like that.
A spitter demon spit it's poisonous acid upon Divaqs. He screamed in pain and rage and he began casting his most powerful of spells, chain lightning.
The electrical wave spewed from his body and killed at least thirty of creatures...then he passed out.
