The Mage's Knight in Cold Armor: Apprentice to The Betrayer

Chapter 5: An Unpleasant Reunion (Ludwig's P.O.V)

"This is where you took my son? Can you even be more heartless than you already are?!" Alyssana scolded me.

"Ugh, can you not with your insults, woman?" I groaned out loud. "I didn't kidnap our son, Thassarian did! And I already know that I've done ya dirty in the past, but that doesn't mean you have to be a colossal bitch about it!"

"Cheating arrogant dick!" She roared at me, her hands glowing with Arcane magic. "Shall I fucking kill you again?!"

"Alright, that's it! Gods, you two are like children now that you've reunited!" Edua exclaimed in frustration. "Alyssana, step onto that small platform and it'll take you to your son. Ludwig and I will hold off the undead here!"

"Fine!" The mage scoffed and she went off to said platform while I went to charge at the undead.

Then I remembered that Edua wanted to talk to me. "Why didn't you tell me who I was?" I questioned Edua. "Why didn't anyone tell me about my true identity?"

"We were all strictly told by the Lich King himself to never tell you who you are. He feared that it would be too much for you, but that was all when we were listening to his whispers." The undead Draenei explained. "Besides, if we told you about your life with Alyssana, you would've gone running back to her."

After striking down another zombie, I heard a scream from down below! I quickly rushed to the small platform and it teleported me to the next level of the Archeus. A huge undead abomination held a boy in its grasp and Alyssana was casting spell after spell, trying to make it drop the boy!

"Mother!! Help!!!" The boy screamed at Alyssana and I felt something painful hit me in the stomach but there was no weapon.

'Wait, if she is his mother, then that means...that boy is my son!'

Ignoring the pain in the pit of my stomach, I started to rush towards the abomination, my sword ready to fight it!

"Hands off my son, you wretched amalgamation!!!" I shouted a war cry and then I leaped in the air to sever the abomination's hand from its arm!

As the severed hand was falling, the fingers began to loosen its grip of my son and he had a glowing purple hue around him and he was flown towards Alyssana.

"Mother!" he cried as he was being hugged by Alyssana.

Then she looked at me and this time, she didn't shoot a mean look. Instead she nodded and started walking towards me!

"Uh mommy? Why are we going towards the man who was mean to me earlier?" My son grumbled at Alyssana.

"We've come to thank your father for saving you, Marenus." She replied.

"Wait...he is my father?" He questioned the mage. "I thought he was dead."

"No, my son." I chuckled. "The Lich King brought me back...but due to some recent events, I'm no longer taking orders from him."

For the first time, I thought I saw a little smile forming on Alyssana's face. It didn't take a lot to hide a positive reaction but I was glad that she did seem a little happy.

"It seems I have a lot to make up for!" I spoke up, clearing my throat.

"And so do I." Alyssana simply said to our son who replied with a sad smile.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked her in confusion.

"I'll tell you later in private, Ludwig." She sighed and I sensed there was an underlying sad tone in her voice. "For now, let's just get back to the others."
