OOC: Added two profiles to my original post in the profile topic. Now, KP knows about the Nazgul, and actually helped develop an original story using them. Other players are free to use ONE Nazgul (Per player), but must PM me FIRST.
Everything was quiet in the fishing village, for once. Usually they had to fight off various creatures from the sea, but usually did so without much damage. Now, the town was finally peaceful and the trade was slowly growing, allowing them to strengthen their defenses aswell as allow their city to grow. The archers in the towers surronding the edge of the town looked out boredly at the area outside of the town, having seen no attackers in weeks. Suddenly, one of the archers straightened up, seeing something in the distance. A distant form in the air, small by the looks of it, but that didn't count the distance. The archor tensed. Could it be a dragon? It was strange for something like that to happen, but they had all heard stories about unprovoked attacks. Suddenly, something burst from the cover of the trees, many of the archors stunned with shock. A flying beast, the size of a small dragon, its skin dark and leathery, its head longer then a normal dragon's, almost serpant like. The sight of it made the archors stumble back in surprise. "What in the HELL is that?!" One of them screamed, the beast now heading straight for one of the towers. A few of the archors finally aimed their bows at the creature, and as they did, an unholy scream pierced the air, echoeing throughout the entire town, every person outside of their homes looking up, fear in their eyes.
Finally the rider of the beast was revieled. It was a hooded figure, none of the defenders able to see its face, suddenly unable to fire. They wanted to jump from the tower, just to get away from the monstrosity that approached them. As it neared, one archor did what the others wanted to do, falling from the tower and hitting the ground with a sickening crunch. The Nazgul reached the tower, the demonic wyvern it was riding grabbing an archor in its claws, a sickening crunch resulting as the mangled body was sent hurling into a nearby house. The people began to scream in horror as more of the beasts showed up, also controlled by the same hellish riders. One, in particular, stood out from the rest, wearing a strange helmit with a crown. The Witch King decended onto the horrified archors, his demonic steed snapping up on of the archors, its claws damaging another as it passed. Two other archors were thrown from a tower as one Nazgul passed, the winds caused by the creature's beast making them loose balance and fall. Soon the archors were no more, the tower vacant and blood stained. The monstrosities decended onto the town, snapping up the helpless citizens, more defenders moving it, wielding swords and spears. As one of the Nazgul got closer to the line of warriors, they suddenly lost their motivation to fight, the line finally breaking into a wild panic as the creature reached them, its beastly mount slicing the head off of one warrior as it passed.
The Witch King decended onto the ground, still mounted, attacking the humans from the ground. His steed roared, greeted by more defenders, finally able to fight without falling apart at the sight of their hellish attackers. One man ran forward, swinging his sword at the creature's long neck, only to have its clawed foot slam into his chest, a sickening series of cracks echoeing around the area as the man's broken body fell limply to the ground. The rest of the defenders turned and ran, a large chunk of rock slamming into many of them, crushing them underneath as the building beside them was torn apart by the airal attackers. The Witch King took to the air once more, once again ripping apart the defense with his beast's massive claws and strong jaws. Soon the entire town was devoid of life, filled with mangled bodies, destroyed buildings, and fires burning the remains. The Nazgul flew off without a second thought, having no use for the town, but wanted to send a message to the human race...
