Astratus

The spellcaster made short work of the zombies, but there were still others that the Commander had to deal with. Victims of Corprus, half of his friends and family were killed by Astratus. Astratus made ready with The Cause, and the giant sword relfected sunlight off of its polished edge. The first of the zombies to reach Astratus fell with its held between its legs. Astratus hacked his way to the first of the injured being attacked by the zombies. Astratus yelled at a man with a slashed arm to help drag the wounded towards the line of soldiers.

A zombie came from behind Astratus as he was dragging another wounded man away. The soldier with the torn face bit down on Astratus's trapezious muscle, sinking the teeth in deep. Astratus cried out in pain, then ducked low and hip tossed the zombie over his shoulder. Astratus felt for ruined muscle, and discovered that the bite pierced his muscle, but did not tear it. Swinging the claymore would only injure him further, so he drew a dagger and sheathed his claymore.

There were still injured men and doctors being attacked by the undead, so Astratus tried to fight his way back to them. Fingernails and teeth cut and nicked Astratus, but adrenaline gave him less of an awareness of pain. Astratus grabbed one zombie and plunged the dagger deep into the skull. Then Astratus jerked the dagger out, sending a crimson shower in the air. Astratus noticed that a few men in the line began to fight the undead, while others backed slowly away.

Astratus made a mental note of the men backing away, and called for aid. The wound in his neck was festering, and the wound stopped bleeding, alerting Astratus to major infection. He stumbled back to the injured and the doctors and swung the dagger to keep the undead back. Tears began to form around Astratus's eyes and the faces of his friends and family began to show up on the undead. Astratus wept as he cut down the undead, but then his strength failed, due to fatigue and infection. Astratus watched the undead close in on the survivors, and he could only yell for help. The few men fought desperately to get to him, but they were separated by a barrier of flesh. Astratus's consciousness left the scene in front of him and he went to walk the sandy shores of Dagon Fel with his family.
