Chapter 28
The Elven King was by all regards a seasoned warrior, one who had fought in more battles than most people could name. He had seen people murdered in terrific ways and had seen brutality matched by none. He had seen some of the most evil beings on Glienor, and seen their most terrible creations and servants. However what he was about to witness overshadowed everything he’d ever seen in the past.
The Army of the Alliance stood firm on the battlefield when a terrible noise ripped across the battlefield. Like the bellowing of a thousand bulls it was, but tenfold more terrible. It smashed into each man, elf and dwarf liked a punch to the gut and inspired fear in the most stolid of hearts. But that fear was nothing like what they would soon feel.
From the depths of Gornakhan the creatures were let loose, and their bellows of rage at the world shook the foundations of the fortress. As they neared the top of the pit they had been imprisoned in their roars died down and they flew straight and deadly up into the sky before the Army of the Alliance.
Every man, elf and dwarf was awestruck by the sight of the beasts flying out of the great and ancient fortress of Gornakhan. The fear the men felt upon seeing the creatures made everything else seem immaterial. The beasts flew higher before turning to face the alliance, and with a bellowing roar from the leader the Army of the Alliance almost collapsed from sheer terror.

On the roofs surrounding the courtyard of Karna’khesh hundreds of men and elves loosed their bows towards the growing mass of goblins. The screams of pain and anger rising from the courtyard echoed throughout the entire castle, and seemed painfully loud to Edlenmin and Maly*tryx just inside the doors to the castle. Again the archers loosed their bows and more goblins fell to the straight, feathered shafts.

The archers on the roof grew confident now, and knowing that they had the high ground and the element of surprise did nothing to counteract that. Thus it came as a great surprise when flickering bolts of light flew from the entrance to the tunnel, striking the men and elves down like ten-pins. More goblins rushed into the courtyard, now armed with crossbows, and when their bolts began raining death upon the elves and men knew that there was nothing more they could do. Quickly retreating through windows into the castle they hastened to help their comrades who would soon be fighting for their lives inside the castle doors.
Edlenmin and Maly*tryx stood in silence as they heard the march of goblin boots approaching the door they were guarding. Both men had great reason to hate the goblins and both knew that this would be the day that vengeance would be done unto those who had destroyed their families and their lives. Maly*tryx seemed more at ease, his blade held comfortably in his hand, whereas Edlenmin’s knuckles were white from gripping the hilt too hard.
Every man was silent as the tramping of mailed goblin feet grew closer outside the door and then stopped. The door shook from a mighty blow and a hollow boom reverberated through the room. Another blow made contact with the door and it began to cave inward. A third blow hit the door and it began to splinter. A fourth and final blow hit the door and it splintered inwards. As the splinters fell the goblins rushed forward, hungry for blood.

ALSO,
I remember you writing about a part of Guthix meeting with Saradomin and Zamorak or something, it involved Guthix though.
Just to clarify, Guthix is an It, not a he :) It changes shape and maintains balance by changing gender.

Chapter 29
Gul’dan looked up in horror at the terrifying aberrations before them. Rising above the fortress of Gornakhan were eight amlug, or dragons. The sheen of their scales varied from a black that made the night sky appear light to a red that brought to his mind thoughts of blood. Each dragon was in excess of one hundred feet in length, and the largest was easily one hundred fifty feet from its teeth to the barbed spike at the end of its tail.
Terror clutched at the hearts of every member of the Army of the Alliance as another ear rending roar came forth from the largest dragon’s throat. Then, with another mighty roar the largest of the dragons opened his mouth and from it spewed flames of such heat that even at the distance they were from the dragons each the men, elves, and dwarves of the Army of the Alliance began to perspire.
Following the example of their leader the rest of the dragons’ maws fell open and from the depths of their inner furnace they spewed fire born of their hatred of elves, men and dwarves. With the fire surrounding their writhing and bellowing forms the dragons appeared to be not so much living beings but a terrifying tempest of fire. And it was a tempest of fire that they dove upon the Army of the Alliance, who at the last moment remembered the danger they were in and prepared for what would be the fight of the lifetime for most of them.

Maly*tryx let out a terrible cry as the door splintered and leapt forward like some demon out of hell, a terrible light in his eyes. Pushing past Baragûr and Hador he lunged at the goblins like a man possessed. Righteous anger powered his sword arm, and his sword cleaved through arms and armour, wreaking his terrible vengeance upon those who had left him alone to die.
Within seconds Edlenmin was at his side, his blade black from the blood of goblins.

As more and more goblins spilled in they were forced backwards, and soon they could see men beside them joining them in the battle. Hador’s stood tall, resplendent in his steel armour, yelling out challenges to the approaching goblins. His blade flashed in the dim torchlight of the castle, up and down, bringing death to any goblin that dared to come near him.
To Edlenmin’s immediate right Baragûr slashed at goblins faster than their eyes could follow with his thin rapier. His eyes were bright with anger, though no man in that room knew the reason for his hatred towards goblins. Maly*tryx felt the adrenaline rushing through his veins as he cut down goblin after goblin. He let out a wicked laugh as he impaled another goblin on his blade.
The goblins had been taken aback at first by the ferocity of the assault, but their surprise didn’t last long and soon they were pushing the defenders back into the castle. Their victory over the archers in the courtyard was still fresh in their minds and adrenaline pounded in their veins, and that coupled with their ancient hate for men and elves lent them the strength to cut down many of the defenders.
Maly*tryx looked around him and was astonished to see that while the pile of dead in front of him was composed solely of goblins, all around him were many human corpses. As his initial rage began to fade he felt the pain of dozens of small wounds all over his body. His sword was growing heavier in his hand, but he kept on fighting. He was by no means a warrior, and he was tiring fast. To his right he saw Edlenmin collapse from a blow dealt by a solidly built goblin, a distorted smile upon his face. Bellowing in anger Maly*tryx turned and with strength born of anger and desperation drove his sword through the goblin.

As he knelt to see if Edlenmin was all right he felt a sharp pain in his side and when he looked up he saw a massive goblin leering down at him, its sword poking him in the side. “I’m gonna bleed you like a stuck pig!” the goblin hissed, his mouth distorting into a wicked smile.
