Hello everyone, it's been a long time. This chapter has proven bigger than last chapter, also I've got good news. Lately, I've watched Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit. After watching those, I've decided to add a Dwarf and Tauren champion. The Dwarf will be a Protection Paladin and the Tauren will be a Protection Druid, they'll be the Tanks of the group. Now for some questions answered.
Guest: You are rather rude, you know that?
Altajir95: Glad you like it.
Vincent Balmes: Respectfully, you can't force someone to do what you want. If you're gonna make a story, please do one based on your own ideas.
Now I have something to ask. Did you guys not like how Illidan didn't return to Azeroth. I think I can change his fate and have him return to Azeroth with Denasar, but I'd like your opinions on the idea. Also, in Shadowlands, what kind of Covenant should a Demon Hunter go too, I'm curios on what you guys think. Another thing I'd like to ask is do any of you have Invincible and how many tries did it take to get it. Please answer in a review.
Now, enjoy the chapter and I've added a scene of each champion getting their Artifacts.
Chapter 4: Legendary artifacts.
It has been two months since the failed assassination attempt of Stormwind and Orgrimmar thanks to the Illidari's aid. Denasar has spent most of his time with Shandris and their daughter Vessaelaria. Denasar found out that Vessaelaria was very skilled at using a bow. He may have been a little rusty at using a bow, but Denasar taught her all he knew at archery.
Denasar has spent some time getting to know the champions of the Alliance, despite keeping on guard in case the Legion tried another assassination attempt. He and Vahrazlyphii became quick friends since the Shadow Priest saw that Denasar was a good person that cared for life and has decided if he ever needed someone to heal him, she'll do it for him.
Keirrastia also became a quick friend since she was an elf herself and was actually good friends with both Shandris and Vessaelaria. The two had a small competition of whoever was better at using a bow. The Void Elf had challenged the Demon Hunter when she heard from Shandris that he used to use a bow and was a better archer than her.
Despite being rusty, Denasar actually did very well against the Void Elf, having got a tie with her. Keirrastia was very impressed, so she decided that she'll trust Denasar, who was happy to gain the Void Elf's trust.
Reugus was a…hard nut to crack. He actually challenged Denasar to a fight, who was surprised at the challenge, but accepted. The Night Elf and Worgen fought for 2 hours before Denasar finally defeated him, but Reugus put up a good fight. After the fight, he told Denasar that he liked him and will trust him.
The Worgen explained that he understands people by fighting them, and since Denasar fought with honor and didn't cheat, that meant he was an honorable man to Reugus. Denasar cracked a smile at Reugues's words, liking the Worgen very much as well and looked forward to their next fight.
Marken had watched Denasar and Reugues's battle himself and was honestly surprised that the Demon Hunter had won. He decided to fight Denasar himself and see if Reugues's words about Denasar were correct. He even wagered his title as the Alliance's strongest champion at stake.
Denasar asked what Marken wanted if he won, which the Paladin explained that if he won, he would take the Demon Hunter's life. Denasar accepted and what a battle they had. Marken kept healing and enchanting spells onto himself, while Denasar kept using his speed to dodge most of the Paladin's attacks.
The Paladin even forced Denasar to transform into his demon form, which won him the battle. When Marken was kneeling down on the ground in defeat, Denasar offered a helping hand, which the Paladin accepted. Marken saw that Denasar wasn't like the demons of the Burning Legion and accepted him as his friend.
Denasar and Illthiel were…not on speaking terms. During these two months, Denasar found out that Illthiel wanted Shandris as his mate, but he would be damned if he let that Druid touch her. Whenever the two would cross paths, they'd flat out ignore each other. They haven't even had a practice battle or anything. If was as if Denasar and Illthiel were like their fathers in the past towards each other.
So far things have been peacefully with the Legion randomly invading different areas. Denasar, along with the champions of the Alliance, were apart of the battles, helping defend against the Legion and always successfully driving the Demons back. However Denasar had a bad feeling like something bad was gonna happen soon.
During these two months, the Horde and Alliance have made a temporary alliance to deal with the Burning Legion. Keirrastia told Denasar about the champions of the Horde and about their strongest warrior, the Death Knight Deathsword.
Death Knights. The mention of that name brought back memories for Denasar about Arthas and how he almost ended his father's life. The heir to the Illidari felt angered that he didn't take part in the campaign against the Lich King to get his revenge on the Death Knight, but felt pleased that he was dead now.
Keirrastia told Denasar that Deathsword was her uncle, being married to her aunt who is the new warchief of the Horde. Denasar learned that Deathsword used to be a Paladin before Arthas came and invaded his home, Silvermoon City. Denasar started to get impressed as Keirrastia told him that Deathsword delivered the final blow to the Lich King and is the strongest champion that the Horde has.
Interested in fighting the Death Knight, Denasar began training with the other champions of the Alliance. Meanwhile with the Illidari, they've started to get respect from both the Horde and Alliance with the civilians of Stormwind still grateful to them for saving their lives.
However, they've been searching for a base of operation for the battle against the Legion, but found nothing yet. Kayn and Altrius have put aside their differences and have started working together, but still had issues with each other.
Denasar took Kor'vas and Allari to Teldrassil to meet Shandris and Vessaelaria with both female Demon Hunters adoring the little Night Elf girl. Shandris and Kor'vas greeted each other nicely, though Kor'vas did seem a little jealous that she wasn't the first one to give birth to Denasar's child.
Right now currently, Denasar was with Shandris and Vessaelaria at Teldrassil. The three Night Elves were outside the tree house with Denasar helping Vessaelaria with her skills at a bow, while Shandris was watching the two with a smile of pure happiness on her face.
"Alright Vessaelaria, focus. Using a bow and arrow is good at keeping at a distance from the enemy, but you'll be at a disadvantage if they get to close. That's why it's good to have an animal companion with you, like how your aunt Keirrastia has different animals with her. Also don't fight against nature, fight with it''. Denasar told his daughter, kneeling down next to her, who had a white bow and arrow in hand, and was aiming at a practice dummy.
Vessaelaria nodded to her father without looking at him as she closed her eyes to feel nature. The winds blow softly as both Vessaelaria and Shandris' hair blew in the breeze. Vessaelaria slowly aimed her arrow into the sky, before she fired it.
The arrow glided through the air, before the wind blew it down to the practice dummy, striking right at the center of the stomach. Vessaelaria opened her eyes as a wild smile grew on her face at seeing she landed a bullseye. "Well done''. Denasar praised his daughter as Vessaelaria wrapped her arms around her father in a hug.
Shandris walked over to her lover and daughter, before she knelt down next to them. "Are you enjoying your time with your father, sweetheart?'' Shandris asked her daughter, who looked at her with a happy smile. "Yes, mother. Being with father is so much fun''. Vessaelaria replied to her mother with a happy smile, making both of her parents smile happily at her.
However, Denasar sensed magic nearby, making him look to see an arcane anomaly floating towards them. "Khadgar". Denasar said with narrowed eyes, getting Shandris and Vessaelaria to finally notice the arcane anomaly.
"Greetings Denasar. Word has reached me of your efforts to push back against Legion Invading forces. I am reluctant to interrupt such important work and time with your family, but I could use your help in a matter of…diplomacy. I fear I am about to anger an old friend. Dalaran has been repositioned to defend the Eastern Kingdoms. You'll find it over Deadwing Pass, just above Karazhan. Please join me here''. Khadgar's voice was heard through the anomaly, before the creature disappeared, leaving the family alone.
Denasar was silent for a few seconds before he looked at Shandris, who was looking at him in concern. "…You don't have to go. I'm sure everything will be all right without you there at Dalaran. Just stay here, with us''. Shandris tried to persuade her love into staying here with her and their daughter.
"You know full well I have to go. The Legion still holds father's body, and I cannot allow them to keep and use it to destroy what he sought to protect. I'm sorry Shandris, but I won't run from the Legion''. Denasar said to his love, who looked down in sadness before she looked back at the Demon Hunter, laying her right hand on his chest.
"Swear to Elune that you'll come back when this… nightmare is over. I don't want to loose you again''. Shandris said to Denasar, who nodded to her without a second though before he looked at his daughter, who looked as worried as her mother. "Don't worry my little princess. Nothing could stop me from seeing you again, not even Sargeras himself''. Denasar said to his daughter as he pats Vessaelaria's head, who still looked worried.
"You promise, father?'' Vessaelaria asked her father, who continued to smile at her. "I swear it, my little one''. Denasar replied to the young Night Elf child, who finally smiled at her father. "I know you will, because you're the strongest in the world!" Vessaelaria called out with a smile, making Denasar chuckle.
"May Elune forever protect you''. Shandris said to her love, who stood up on his feet. "I know she will. If mother asks where I went, could you tell her that Khadgar sent a message to me to come to Dalaran?'' Denasar asked Shandris, who nodded to him, making the Demon Hunter smile before he turned around and started running.
Denasar let out a sharp whistle, receiving a cry as Invincible flew down next to him, which the Demon Hunter jumped onto the Undead Horse's saddle. "Let's go Invincible!" Denasar told his undead steed as he grabbed the reins, getting a cry from Invincible, who took to the skies.
Shandris and Vessaelaria watched Denasar ride Invincible into the sky before he soon left their sights. 'Denasar…I love you. Please come back to us someday'. Shandris thought to herself as she prayed to the Goddess for Denasar to return to her and their daughter.
(Sometime later)
Denasar has had a little long journey to Dalaran. First he had to fly over to the Draenei's capital city, the Exodar to take the portal to Stormwind instead of taking the boat there. Once he reached the capital of the Alliance, Denasar rode Invincible for a good two hours before they finally reached Dalaran above Karazhan.
Invincible landed on Krasus landing, with the Demon Hunter dismounting his undead steed. Denasar looked around as he stroke Invincible's neck. "If Khadgar called me here, he must have called the others''. Denasar said to himself, seeing both Alliance and Horde soldiers here in Dalaran.
"Indeed he did!'' A familiar voice called out, getting Denasar to look up to see the Champions of the Alliance above him, riding their own Mounts.
Marken was riding on a golden dragon with parts of armor on it. This dragon was called the Heart of the Aspects. Reugus, in human form, was riding on an Azure Dragon of the Blue Dragon Flight. Vahrazlyphii was riding what appeared to be a dragon of a different kind from the ones Denasar has seen in his life. This Dragon was called an Enchanted Fey Dragon.
Keirrastia was riding on a Silver Covenant Hippogryph that she received as a gift from her aunt a few years back. Illthiel was riding a Cenarion War Hippogryph, a gift that Malfurion gave to him.
"You're all here". Denasar said as the champions of the Alliance had their mounts land, before dismounting them. "We received a message from Khadgar to come to Dalaran as soon as possible''. Marken told the heir of the Illidari, stroking the Heart of the Aspects' neck. "He told us that he even sent a message to the champions of the Horde''. Reugus added in, patting his drake.
"Looks like we arrived before they did''. Vahrazlyphii commented as she turned left and right to spot one of the Horde's champions, but didn't spot any of them. "Do you know why we were called here, Denasar?'' Keirrastia asked her comrade, curious on why the Archmage called them here.
"I believe he called us here to help convince the other council members of Dalaran to allow the Horde back here''. Denasar replied to the Void Elf, having been thinking why his old friend needed their help. "Ha! Good luck with that! Jaina will never allow the Horde back here in Dalarn. Have you forgotten the Purge of Dalaran?'' Illthiel asked his comrades, who grew silent at his words.
"Wait…Jaina's here? What happened to her? Why does she seem to hate the Horde? And what's this 'Purge of Dalaran?'' Denasar asked his new comrades, still not knowing why his old comrade hates the Horde now. The Champions of the Alliance were silent, before Keirrastia spoke to the Demon Hunter.
"I'll explain everything on the way to The Violet Citadel. Please follow me''. Keirrastia requested as she began leading the way to the Violet Citadel with the other champions of the Alliance following her. The Void Elf explained to the Night Elf Demon Hunter how the Horde, under Garrosh Hellscream's command destroyed Theramore.
During the battle, many lives were lost on both sides. Keirrastia told Denasar that her uncle Rhonin sacrificed himself to save Jaina from a mana bomb. The bomb took many lives, including the life of Jaina's young apprentice Kinndy Sparkshine. Since than, Jaina has hated the Horde, even though they helped overthrow Garrosh.
"Such pain and lose. This…Garrosh Hellscream deserved a slow and painfull death!'' Denasar growled out in rage as the champions of the Alliance finally reached the Violet Citadel and began walking up the steps. "The cowardly Orc is already dead. Thrall got the chance that we didn't''. Marken told his comrade, his hands in fist at remembering what the evil warchief did to his old friend.
"Ahh, there you all are!'' Khadgar called out from the right side of the entrance to the citadel, getting the Alliance Champions's attention. "How was the flight in? Seems we moved Dalaran from one dark, gloomy land to another. At least it's warmer here. And I must admit, being so close to Karazhan brings back many memories''. Khadgar said to the champions of the Alliance, taking a moment to look at the once great tower that the Guardian Medivh lived in.
"Khadgar, where is my uncle Deathsword?'' Keirrastia asked the Archmage, wondering where her uncle could be. "Deathsword and the other champions of the Horde are running a bit late. They'll arrive soon though''. Khadgar replied to the Void Elf, who looked a little disapointed.
"Why have you called us here, Khadgar?'' Denasar asked his old friend, who faced him. "The Legion's attacks will only intensify. We must do whatever is necessary to boster our strength''. Khadgar began to explain as Denasar crossed his arms. "It is for that reason that you wish to allow the Horde back into Dalaran, correct?'' Denasar questioned the Archmage, who nodded to him with a smile.
"Correct. I will propose that we invite the Horde back into the Kirin Tor. To certain colleagues on the Council, this will be…controversial''. Khadgar began as he walked closer to the entrance into the citadel.
"Jaina's not gonna like this''. Reugus stated with a low growl, which Khadgar nodded in agreement. "Indeed she won't. That is why I asked for all of you. You all have history with the Horde and close friends, especially you two, Denasar and Keirrastia''. Khadgar explained, getting the Void Elf and Night Elf's attention.
"Your aunt is now warchief of the Horde, Keirrastia. Not to mention, your uncle is the Horde's greatest champion. Unlike Jaina, you don't bear hatred to the Horde for the death of your uncle''. Khadgar contiued speaking as Keirrastia rubbed her right arm with her left hand.
"The monster responsible for my uncle's death and my aunt's saddness is already dead. He was responsible, not the Horde''. Keirrastia said in sadness, remembering her beloved uncle Rhonin and the happy times they had. "I'm sorry for making you remember such a painfull memory. As for you Denasar, you are a close friend of the princess of the Blood Elves, Lady Xandreni, correct?'' Khadgar asked the Demon Hunter, who nodded to him.
"I do. She once served my father before his defeat at the Black Temple''. Denasar replied to the Archmage, growling a little at remembering his father's defeat. "That is good to hear. Also, you're old friends with Jaina. I believing seeing an old friend might…help her''. Khadgar said, choosing his words carefully.
"We've wasted too much time. Come! The Councile is already assembled. Let's not keep them waiting''. Khadgar said as he began leading the champions of the Alliance into the Violet Citadel. Once inside, Denasar indeed saw the members of the Kirin Tor assembled. However, only one of them had his attention.
Standing there in the center was his old friend Jaina Proudmoor, only she has changed. It wasn't just her hair that was now almost completely silver, her presence had changed. Once it was a clam presence, but now it was filled with hatred. "Jaina!" Denasar gasped out at seeing her, getting the leader of the Kirin Tor's attention.
"And just who are you?'' Jaina questioned Denasar, who flinched at her tone. She really had changed from the woman he once fought alongside with. "Jaina, it's me Denasar. It has been a long time''. Denasar spoke his name, wishing to see a hint of her once kind self.
Unfortantly, his pray was unanswered. "So you were alive all this time. How wonderful for you''. Jaina said to the heir of the Illidari, before completely ignoring him, causing Denasar to look down in sadness. Keirrastia placed her right hand on Denasar's shoulder, who gave her a small smile in thanks.
"Thank you all for gathering on such short notice''. Khadgar began by first thanking the members of the Councile. "Khadgar, we don't have time to waste in meetings. The Legion is advancing and the Horde arms for battle''. Jaina spoke with anger in her voice at mentioning the Horde.
"Then I'll get right to the point. For the Kirin Tor to fight at full strength, we need the mages of the Horde to join our ranks''. Khadgar said to the Councile.
As expected, Jaina was the first to responde. "NEVER! Do you hear me, Khadgar?'' Jaina exploded in rage, refusing to allow Horde back into Dalaran. "Jaina, we know the pain you've endured. But this is about—'' Khadgar tried to talk some sense, but Jaina interupted him.
"They obliterated Theramore. They left us to die on the Broken Shore. Again and again they've proven to be monsters…cowards!'' Jaina exclaimed in hatred to the Horde that she once wished for peace with, making Denasar frown in concern for her. 'Her hatred could be as strong or even more powerful as my hatred for Malfurion'. Denasar thought to himself, seeing that Jaina had trully changed for the worse.
"I've made my case. With respect, I move for a vote''. Khadgar said, ignoring Jaina's hatefull words. "Very well. But consider your choice carefully. If you let those vermin back into this city, I will not be counted among your ranks when you welcome them''. Jaina told the councile members, glaring at the Archmage.
Khadgar ignored her glare and focused on the task at hand. "In the matter of allowing the Horde into Dalaran and offering membership in the Kirin Tor, I vote aye''. Khadgar declared his choice, raising his hand.
Three members of the Councile voted aye to allow the Horde back into Dalaran, while Jaina and the last member voted nay. It was 4 againt 2 votes and the choice was made. "The vote carries. I'm sorry, Jaina, but the stakes are higher then they've ever been''. Khadgar apologized to the Daughter of the Sea.
"Jaina, please…we are doing what's best for Azeroth. Stand with us!'' The only other female meber of the Councile, Archmage Modera begged Jaina to not leave them. "This Council is blind to the truth. When the Horde betrays you again, remember who warned you. Farewell''. Jaina bid farewell as she teleported herself away.
"That was…difficult. But we must move forward. We will send our Invitation to the warchief at once. We have a war to win''. Khadgar said, before suddenly an explosion came out of nowhere, shaking the floating island. Denasar struggled to make his way to the entrance and saw Legion ships beginning to appear and attack Dalaran.
"The Legion is here! Khadgar, figure out a plan while we handle this!'' Denasar exclaimed before taking off to battle the Legion, his two warglaives appearing in his hands. "We'll protect the civilians, find a way to get us out of here!'' Keirrastia told the Archmage as she readied her bow, before taking off after Denasar.
"Luckily for us, I've already come up with a plan in case this happened. Although, it is a horribly dangerouse one…but a plan nothetheless! I need all of you keep the Legion busy for a few minutes while we prepare. Can you do that?'' Khadgar asked the remaining champions of the Alliance.
"We'll give you all the time you need. Just hurry''. Marken replied to Khadgar as he, Reugus and Illthiel ran out of the Citadel to join the battle. "For the Alliance!'' Vahrazlyphii cried out as she joined her comrades.
Outside the Citadel, Legion portals appeared with Infernals coming out. The peaceful street quickly turned into a battlefield. Marken, Reugus and Vahrazlyphii lead the civilians to the 'Eventide'. The three Alliance champions were guardian the entrance with the Paladin and Warrior engaged in battle with some infernals while the Priest was casting her spells, both healing her comrades and attacking.
Reugus, in his Worgen form had both swords in hand and was currently slicing one Infernal into pieces. "Where the hell is the Horde?!'' The Warrior questioned angrily as he smashed the Infernal's head into a million pieces. "Right here!'' A familiar voice called out, getting the three champions of the Alliance's attention.
Above the three champions of the Alliance were two champions of the Horde. It was Lady Xandreni and Makuskar, riding on two flying mounts. The Blood Elf Mage was riding on a 'Sunreaver Dragonhawk' that she earned in the 'Argent Tournament', while the Orc Shaman was riding on a 'Pureblood Fire Hawk'. The two champions landed on the ground, before they dismounted their mounts.
"Where have you two been?!" Marken questioned as he swung his sword across an Infernal, causing the flaming creature to turn into dust. "I apologize that we arrived so late. Allow me to make up for it''. Xandreni replied to the Paladin as she began chanting.
Suddenly, appearing from the sky was a red meteor that rained down on the army of Infernals, smashing a total of 5 of them. "We'll make up for lost time. Right now, focus on the Legion!'' Makuskar roared out as he slammed his right fist onto the ground, causing an Earthen Spike to shot out from the ground under an Infernal, stabbing right through the creature.
"Where are the others?'' The Shadow Priest asked as she started chanting before an explosion of Void energy appeared around the army of Infernals. "They went to assist your allies! By the way, I heard word that the Alliance has a new champion. A Demon Hunter, correct?'' Makuskar questioned as he drew his two axes and charged at the army of Infernals.
"Indeed, Denasar is a trust worthy ally''. Marken replied to the Shaman as light infused wings formed on his back, creating him the power of the light. "I wonder how everyone else is doing?'' Xandreni questioned as she began casting fireballs from her hands.
(Meanwhile with Illthiel)
The Night Elf Druid was currently on his own in the 'Magus Commerce Exchange' street, blasting as many Infernals as he can. When need be, Illthiel would turn into his 'Cat' or 'Bear' form for close rage combat. He's been doing well on his own, but was starting to get exhausted because it seemed like every Infernal he destroyed, two more take its place.
"Merciful Goddess, how many of these abominations are there?'' The Druid questioned as he casted 'Fury of Elune', obliterating another Infernal. "Ya might need some help, man!'' A familiar voice called out, getting the Night Elf to look above him in surprise.
Flying above him was the Horde's Champion Warlock, Gortkaluz, the Troll, mounted on a 'Purple Netherwing Drake'. The Troll began chanting as a meteor appeared before him before falling down on the horde of Infernals. The meteor formed into a different Infernal, who started attacking its kin.
Gortkaluz landed next to Illthiel, looking at the Night Elf with a smirk. "How ya doing mon?'' The Warlock asked as he began chanting as a rain of fire began to rain down on the flaming demons. Illthiel growled at Gortkalux, before he shape shifted into his Cat form and pounced on an Infernal.
"Wonder what got him mad?'' The Troll questioned as he began chanting for another spell. "Who cares!'' A voice called out as the Horde's Rouge Forsaken champion, Alcouris landed next to his comrade. The undead Rouge drew his daggers and joined the battle. "He be right. Not my concern''. Gortkaluz stated as he summoned a Felhunter to assist him.
(With Denasar and Keirrastia)
At 'Krasus landing', Denasar was engaged in battle with the Inferals that came pouring down from the Legion's ship. He wasn't alone, because Keirrastia was kneeling down from atop the wall that separated 'Krasis landing' and 'The Violet Hold'.
The Void Elf had summoned her white wolf, Fang to assist Denasar, while she fired her arrows at a safe distance. Denasar transformed into his Demon form, before grabbing an Infernal's head. The son of the Betrayer crushed the flaming head, making the rest of the Infernal's body to collapse. "This is getting out of hand!'' Denasar stated as he unleashed his eye beam at a nearby Infernal, destroying it.
Keirrastia looked up as 3 more Legion ships appeared, making the Void Elf grant her teeth. "You can say that again!'' Keirrastia agreed as Felbats began flying down from the Legion ships. The Void Elf drew another one of her arrows, before firing it at a Felbat, striking it at the heart.
Three Felbats began flying down towards her, breathing out fel fire at her. Keirrastia granted her teeth, before her skin seemed to light up in a dark purple colour. A purple aura covered her bow, before she held it out with her right hand and started spinning it, stopping the fel flames before extinguishing them.
"Watch this!'' Keirrastia exclaimed as she drew three more arrows. She pressed them again her bow's string, taking aim at three Felbats. She fired her three arrows, which all hit their targets, killing the three corrupted creatures. "This day just keeps on getting better and better''. Keirrastia remarked as she rolled out of the way to dodge a Felbat, her skin returning to normal.
Denasar transformed back into his Night Elf form, before he looked up at his comrade and saw a Felbat flying towards her from behind. "Behind you!'' Denasar called out, getting Keirrastia's attention as she looked behind her, only to be too late. The Felbat knocked the Void Elf from the top of the wall, sending her falling towards the ground.
"Gotcha!'' Denasar cried out as he leaped towards his comrade, catching her bride style. "You okay?'' The Night Elf asked the Void Elf in concern as he continued holding her bride style. "I'll be fine''. Keirrastia replied to the Demon Hunter as she looked at his face.
However, she spotted a familiar figure flying towards them, causing Keirrstia to let out a happy smile. "Deathsword!'' The Void Elf cried out in joy, getting Denasar to look over his left shoulder, before he widened his eyes. "That's your uncle?'' Denasar questioned the Void Elf in disbelief.
Riding atop an 'Icebound Frostbrood Vanquisher'was the Horde's greatest champion Deathsword, who was glaring at the Illidari heir in anger. "Get your hands off my niece!'' Deathsword demanded as his Frostbrood Vanquisher landed on 'Krasus Landing', allowing its ride off.
"Did I stutter? I told you to get your hands off her!'' Deathsword repeated, glaring at Denasar, who returned the glare. "And why should I listen to a Death Knight?'' Denasar questioned as he put Keirrastia down on the ground.
"Watch your mouth Demon Hunter, or else!" Deathsword replied to Denasar as he drew his Ebon Sabers and cut off the head of a Felbat that was flying towards him without even looking. "Or else what?'' Denasar questioned, summoning the Warglaive of Azzinoth in his hands.
"I'll do what the Lich King did to your father, only I'll successfully do the kill this time''. Deathsword replied with a smug smirk on his face, making Denasar growl at him. "Unlike your preciouses Lich King, my father sought to protect Azeroth, not destroy it. At least I followed my father willingly, while you were simply a puppet to your king''. Denasar countered with a smirk, making Deathsword lose his smirk.
"That's it! Prepare to feel the icy embrace of death!'' Deathsword exclaimed as he held his sword up in an attack stance. "Just try it!'' Denasar said as he held up his warglaives, preparing to battle the Death Knight.
"That's enough you two!'' Keirrastia called out as she jumped between Denasar and Deathsword, preventing them from battling each other. "Move aside Keirrastia!'' Deathsword ordered his niece, who shook her head. "This is not the time for us to be fighting among ourselves! To protect Azeroth, we must set aside our differences and work together!'' Keirrastia exclaimed, reminding the two champions what's at stake.
Denasar growled, before he lowered his warglaives. "You are right. I don't have time to waste on a Death Knight''. Denasar stated, getting Keirrastia to smile at her friend before she faced her uncle, who lowered his sabers as well.
'Champions, do you hear me?' Khadgar's voice suddenly entered the three champions' minds, getting all three of them to widen their eyes. 'We hear you Archmage'. Deathsword answered the old mage. 'Good. All of you, come to the Chamber of the Guardian! We're ready to set our plan in motion!' Khadgar told the champions of the Alliance and Horde, before they all felt the Archmage had left their minds.
"Come! We must hurry!'' Denasar told his fellow elves as he hurried to the chamber of the guardian with Deathsword and Keirrastia following him. It didn't take long for them to reach the champers where the three elves saw their friends and comrades waiting for them. "There you are Denasar''. Xandreni greeted her friend with a smile, who gave her a wave. "So this be de Demon Hunter we heard so much bout?'' Gortkaluz asked, staring at Denasar with interest, which Reugus nodded to him.
"I'm relieved to see you've all made it here in one piece''. Khadgar said as he walked up to the group of champions, getting their attention. "Cut to the chase and tell us what the plan is''. Alcouris requested, his twitching to reach his daggers. "I shored up Karazhan's defenses as best I could, but I have little confidence they'll hold. We have other maters to focus on in any case''. Khadgar began as the champions of the Alliance and Horde listened very carefully.
"Gul'dan has sent his demon dogs loose upon Dalaran. He wants this city gone… but we're not going to let him have his way. I believe Dalaran will become the focal point of our campaign against the Legion, neutral ground where the heroes of every kingdom can join together against our mutual enemy. Let's get to work, champions''. Khadgar finished, receiving nods from all the champions of the Alliance and Horde.
"What must first be done, Khadgar?'' Vahrazlyphii asked the old human, ready to begin the campaign against the Burning Legion. "Dalaran's move to this location was intended to be a temporary measure, but we may need to depart sooner than expected. Blinking a city across the world is no mean feat. The magnitude of energies involved can lead to…expected side effects''. Khadgar began to explain to the champions of the Horde and Alliance.
"Arcane anomalies are causing mischief throughout the city. Their presence could destabilize any attempt to blink again. We don't have time to let them dissipate on their own. Champions, I have a device that will help speed things along''. Khadgar finished explaining to the champions of the Horde and Alliance.
Khadgar handed all the champions a crystal, who all looked down at the crystals in their hands. "Understood Khadgar. We'll handle this''. Xandreni told her fellow mage, before she looked at Vahrazlyphii. "Come Vahrazlyphii, let us show these demons the power of magic''. Xandreni said to the Shadow Priest, who nodded to her before the two females ran out of the chamber.
"Come Shaman, let's get this over with''. Illthiel told Makuskar, walking out of the chambers without waiting for a response. "Night Elf bastard''. Makuskar growled out as he followed the Druid. "I'll stay here to protect Khadgar''. Keirrastia told her remaining comrades in the chambers, already drawing her bow from her back.
"I'll keep you company. My queen would kill me if something happen to you''. Alcouris said, stepping closer to protect his queen's niece. "Ya already be dead, mon. Come on Reugus, let's rain hell on em demons!'' Gortkaluz exclaimed as he drew his staff and took off to the battle outside.
"One of these days, that Troll is gonna die and be out of my fur!'' Reugus growled out as he got on all four and chased after the Warlock. "Archmage Modera and I will continue examining the tome we recovered from Karazhan. We WILL find those pillars, champions!'' Khadgar swore to the champions of the Alliance and Horde.
"Indeed we will. The closer we are to defeating the Legion, the closer we'll get to finding my father!'' Denasar cried out as he drew his warglaives and took off to re-join the battle outside. "I'm gonna see if the rumours of that Demon Hunter are true or not''. Deadsword commented as he followed after Denasar.
"I'm not gonna fight alone. I'm coming with you two''. Marken stated as he chased after the Demon Hunter and Death Knight. "Hmm… That gives me an idea… We'll discuss it when the others have returned''. Khadgar said out loud, getting Keirrastia to look at the old mage for a second before she took position next to the entrance to fire at any demon that dares try to enter.
(With Denasar, Marken and Deathsword)
The three champions were battling the Infernals of the Burning Legion back on Krasus landing, easily tearing them apart like it was nothing. Denasar just smashed an Infernal to pieces by punching it in the stomach in his winged demon form, before he spotted one of the Unstable Anomalies.
"There it is!'' Denasar called out, before he brought out the crystal with his right hand. The Demon Hunter held out the crystal, as the magical item fired three beams at the Unstable Anomaly, causing it to disperse. "Well done Denasar!" Marken praised his comrade, blocking an Infernal's fist with his greatsword.
"Looks like you Demon Hunters are actually useful. You might even be stronger than the Betrayer''. Deathsword commented with a smirk, making Denasar turn and growl at him as he returned to his Night Elf form. "My father was the greatest hero Azeroth has ever known. He sacrificed everything to protect his home, yet his own people treated him as a villain. Compared to him, you and your Lich King are nothing!'' Denasar growled at the Death Knight, his temper reaching its limit already.
"Oh really? If memory serves, Arthas defeated Illidan before he became the Lich King. That means your father was a weakling''. Deathsword mocked with a smug smirk as he unleashed an icy blizzard at an Infernal, freezing it. "Arthas was nothing, but a puppet to Ner'zhul, while my father had his own free will! My father was a hero, while you and the Lich King are nothing, but soulless undead that know nothing of the word 'hero". Denasar retaliated at the Death Knight, who finally lost his smug look and replaced it with a look of anger.
"You dare call me a soulless undead? How dare you! I lost my wife to the undead when they invaded Silvermoon! I lost my chance to have happiness by that cursed human! And I lost my life because of Arthas and was his mindless puppet before I was freed! You are the one who doesn't know the meaning of the word 'hero!'' Deathsword shouted at Denasar, his anger already high.
"So you and your wife were killed, then brought back as undead! How sad! I lost my birth parents when I was a child before the Legion first invaded Azeroth! Then, my father was imprisoned for 10 thousand years, with my memories of him sealed away because of that hypocrite! And when all we were doing was protecting our home from the Legion, the Alliance and Horde attacked us because you thought we were servants of the Burning Legion! Finally when we were freed, Gul'dan took my father from me with no knowledge of what they're doing to him! Lastly, I missed out on most of my daughter's life, her birth, her first steps and her first words! Compared to my suffering, yours is small!'' Denasar growled at Deathsword, thinking back to all the suffering he has endured his life and what he has missed since he was sealed away.
"Enough you two! All of us have painful pasts, but that doesn't matter! We must unite to protect our world against the Legion!'' Marken exclaimed, stopping the two Elves from arguing with each other. "I don't need to be reminded about what's at stake, Marken. For the sake of Azeroth, I'm willing to work with this…Death Knight''. Denasar replied to the Paladin, turning away from Deathsword.
"Good, we must remain united. Come, let us return to Khadgar and see if everyone else has succeed with their part''. Marken suggested before all three champions started heading back to the chamber of the guardian. Soon they returned to the chambers, where their allies and more archmages awaited them.
"Good work. There are still some stray anomalies floating about, but you've all negated enough interference that we should no longer be prevented from relocating the city. Now we just need to determine our destination''. Khadgar told the champions of the Horde and Alliance.
"We've reviewed the tome recovered from Karazhan. Though we found references to the Pillars of Creation, one piece of crucial information was omitted from the book… where to find the artifacts''. Khadgar began to explain, getting Reugus to growl. "What! What are we suppose to do now?'' Reugus growled in anger, getting Xandreni to look at the Worgen.
"Be patient, Warrior. Allow Khadgar to finish''. Xandreni defended her fellow Mage, smiling at the old human. "Thank you, Xandreni. Fortunately, we have access to an expert on the subject. The author, Alodi, was the first Guardian of Tirisfal. His spirit is forever bound to the Forge of the Guardian, which has been hidden in our safekeeping. I think the time has come to call him forth''. Khadgar finished explaining to the champions.
An Infernal smashed into the ground next to the entrance, getting Keirrastia to wince, before she fired an arrow at the demon's eye, which exploded on contact. "Then hurry! The Legion isn't allowing us anytime to breath!'' The Void Elf told the Archmage, taking some deep breaths. "She be right, man. Begin ta summoning!'' Gortkaluz told the Archmage, who nodded to the Warlock.
Khadgar gathered arcane magic in his hands before he held up his right hand. "I call forth the spirit of the first Guardian!'' Khadgar explained before the arcane magic disappeared. A ghost appeared next to Khadgar, looking like a human. "Greetings, Alodi. I am Khadgar, archmage of the Kirin-'' Khadgar began to introduce himself till the ghost cut him off.
"I know of you. The apprentice who refuses the mantle I first wore. What do you need of me?'' The ghost of Alodia asked Khadgar for his reasons for summoning him. "The Burning Legion has returned. To stop them, we scoured the library of Karazhan for a tome you authored called 'Notable Antiquities of Ancient Azeroth''. Khadgar replied to the ghost, explaining his reasons.
"We're seeking five ancient artifacts called the Pillars of Creation. Your writing didn't specify where to find them''. Khadgar continued, getting to the point. "Oh course not! The Pillars represent primordial power. Even as Guardian, I dared not trifle with them''. Alodia stated, getting Denasar to narrow his eyes at the ghost.
"Finding these artifacts is crucial. The Pillars are the only thing that can seal the Legion's portal in the Tomb of Sargeras''. Khadgar tried to convince the spirit of the first guardian, who looked back at him before he nodded.
"Very well. My research led me to the Broken Isles. Though I never found their exact locations, I believe the Pillars lie in the hands of the peoples of that ancient land''. Alodia told the archmage, getting Denasar to look down in thought. 'Does that mean one of the Pillars of Creation is in Val'sharah?' Denasar thought to himself, thinking of the land where he was born.
"That gives us a place to start, at least. We will search every inch of the Broken Isles if need be''. Archmage Modera stated as she walked up next to Khadgar. "You must make haste to find them. In the Legion's hands, the Pillars of Creation could unleash untold devastation upon our world. Good luck''. Alodia bid them all farewell before he disappeared.
"We may not have the exact location of the Pillars of Creation, but we at least know where to start. We'll explore every corner of the Broken Isles until they're recovered''. Khadgar stated, swearing to do what needs to be done to protect Azeroth. "You will have my support old friend. I refuse to allow the Legion to destroy our home''. Denasar promised the old archmage, who smiled at his friend.
"The Legion's attack is intensifying. We must prepare to move Dalaran to the Broken Isles!'' Khadgar exclaimed, receiving nods of agreement from everyone. "We must begin then! I will lead you my assistance''. Xandreni commented as she stepped into the circle of council members.
"Since Jaina is…absent, I will lead you my assistance as well''. A blue haired man said, getting Denasar to look at him, seeing the magic that he poses. "That's Kalecgos of the Blue Dragon Flight. Jaina and him were…close''. Keirrastia whispered to the Demon Hunter, telling him the man's identity.
"A dragon, huh?'' Denasar asked, staring at Kalecgos with interest. The seven mages were covered in arcane magic as they began chanting, holding up their right hands. "The Legion bears down on us, we have but moments to spare. The shockwave of arcane energies we are about to unleash should prove powerful enough to send them back to their cursed dimension for a time, giving us time to catch our breath and begin the search for the Pillars of Creation. Are you all ready?'' Khadgar asked the champions of the Alliance and Horde.
"Need you have to ask?'' Alcouris replied to Khadgar, receiving a smirk from the old mage. "We are ready, begin the teleportation of Dalaran to the Broken Isles''. Denasar answered Khadgar, getting him to nod before he focused on his fellow mages.
The celling rumbled a bit, getting Illthiel's attention. "Citizens of Azeroth''. Khadgar began; holding up his left hand with arcane energy surrounded it, before holding it out. "Today is the day we turn the tide''. The old mage continued as the others mages held out their hands, focusing their arcane magic.
"Today is the day that we re-take our world. And send the Legion back to the hell that spawned them''. Khadgar continued as a sphere of energy appeared between the mages before it turned into a pillar. "Our path is clear. The Pillars of Creation await. On the Broken Isles!'' Khadgar finished as a bright life burst out from the pillar focing the champions of the Alliance and Horde to cover their eyes before they lost conscious.
(Sometime later)
"Ahh''. Denasar groaned out as he opened his eyes to see the celling. "Things… never go as planned''. Denasar stated as he got off the ground and back onto his feet. "Oh, you're awake''. Xandreni commented, getting Denasar to look left to see her sitting down on the ground next to the rest of the unconscious champions.
"Whose idea was that again?'' Denasar questioned as he began rotating his left arm. "Khadgar's idea''. Xandreni answered her old friend, as Deathsword and Marken were the next to awaken. "Blasted old human mage!'' Deathsword growled out as he checked his swords for any damage.
"Show a little gratitude. If it wasn't for Khadgar's quick thinking, we'd be dead by now''. Marken told the Death Knight, taking his helmet off for the moment. Soon the others awakened, groaning a bit. "That's the last time I travel by teleportation magic''. Alcouris commented, placing his skinless right hand on the wall to support himself.
"I have to agree with the Rouge. That was most unpleasant''. Illthiel said in agreement, using his staff to help himself stand. "Get a grip! Compared to what we have to face, that was nothing!'' Reugus snapped at the two, sharpening his claws against the wall.
"Reugus! Stop using your claws to wreck the furniture!'' Keirrastia told the Worgen, picking her arrows that fell from her case pouch. "Lady Xandreni, where's Khadgar and the others?'' Vahrazlyphii asked the fire mage, wondering where the council members are.
"Khadgar and the others are recuperating from using their magic. Before he left, Khadgar gave me these to give to all of you when you wake up''. Xandreni replied to the shadow priest as she brought out a pile of hearthstones, only it had the mark of Dalaran instead of the usual symbol.
"What are these?'' Gortkaluz asked, staring at the stone that the female Blood Elf gave him. "It is a new Hearthstone that Khadgar created. He calls it, a 'Dalaran Hearthstone'. These stones will immediately transport us to Dalaran whenever we'd like''. Xandrei told her comrades, getting them to look at the hearthstones with smirks.
"This'll be useful''. Illthiel commented with a smile, putting the hearthstone away. "Speaking of Dalaran, are we now at the Broken Shore?'' Keirrastia asked the Blood Elf, who nodded to her. "Yes. From here, we will spearhead the effort to acquire the Pillars of Creation and drive the Legion from Azeroth once and for all!'' Xandreni told her comrades, which they all nodded in agreement.
"Dalaran will be a safe heaven for both Alliance and Horde in this war against the Legion. Our objective is the same, to find the Pillars of Creation and save our world''. Xandreni told the champions, walking to the middle of the room. "But to do that, we're gonna need new weapons''. Makuskar commented, looking down at his two axes, getting the champions to look at their own weapons.
"Indeed we do. However, Khadgar told me that there might be powerful artifacts for us to use against the Legion. We simply need to find them''. Xandreni told the Shaman, getting everyone curious. "Let us search for these 'artifacts' that Khadgar speak of. Let us meet back here when the moon is watching us''. Denasar suggested, getting everyone to look at them before they nodded.
"Be careful out there. Horde and Alliance doesn't matter now. We need to stick together to save our world''. Marken told his comrades, putting his helmet back on. "May Elune protect you''. Denasar told his new comrades, before he left the champers, being the first to begin the search.
Denasar walked out into the sunlight, using his enchanted sight to see if any demons were in the city. So far, no Legion spies were seen, making Denasar narrow his eyes before he summoned his father's warglaives. 'Father…I will find you and bring you back to see mother again. Just hang on'. Denasar thought to himself, staring at the warglaives as he thought of his father.
"Denasar!'' The son of the Betrayer heard his mate's voice, getting him to look east to see the female Demon Hunter running up to him. "Kor'vas!'' Denasar said in surprise to see his wife here in Dalaran. Upon reaching him, Kor'vas threw her arms around her mate, hugging him in relief that he was safe.
Surprised at first, Denasar returned the embrace to his wife, having missed her in their short time apart. "How are you here in Dalaran?'' Denasar asked his wife, wondering how she came here in a short time. "Khadgar brought us here with some help of the Mages of Dalaran. But that's not important, I need to speak to you''. Kor'vas explained to her husband, pulling back to look at him in the face.
"What is it?'' Denasar asked his wife, wondering what it is she needs to tell him. "Altrius requests that you meet him at Krasus' Landing at once''. Kor'vas began, before she leans in close, whispering to him. "We must hurry. The Legion has eyes everywhere''. Kor'vas finished, pulling back to look at Denasar. "Understood''. The Betrayer's son replied to his wife, before he let out a whistle.
Almost immediately, Invincible landed near Denasar and Kor'vas, getting the two Demon Hunters' attention. "Let's go''. Denasar said before he mounted the undead horse. Kor'vas jumped onto Invincible behind her husband, wrapping her arms around his waist, before Invincible took flight. The flight was rather short because they reached Krasus' Landing very quickly.
There, Denasar saw his fellow Demon Hunters have already set up camp. The heir to the Illidari saw his friends Jace, Altrius and two more Demon Hunters on Felbats. Both of them were female Night Elf Demon Hunters, but one of them wasn't an ordinary Night Elf.
This Demon Hunter's name wasIllysanna Ravencrest, daughter of the great Night Elf hero, Kur'talos Ravencrest. Denasar had meet the older Night Elf 10 thousand years ago when Tyrande and Malfurion took him to Black Rook Hold to see his father. He had met the princess, who was kind to him during his visit and became a friend.
After her father was killed, she seemed to have dissapeared. Years later in Outland, Denasar was surprised to see her as one of the recuits to become a Demon Hunter. Apparently, she agreed with Illidan that to defeat the Legion, they had to make sacrafices, so she chose to serve him instead of Malfurion. Denasar was just glad to see her safe and sound, having been worried about her.
The other female Demon Hunter's name wasLyana Darksorrow. She was one of the many Night Elves that chose to follow Illidan instead of Malfurion. She was a trusted comrade of Denasar, having battled by his side in their early years as Demon Hunters.
Altrius looked up and saw his comrades on Invincible, who landed in front of them. "I completely forgot about that horse''. Altrius remarked, staring at the horse that was once the Lich King's horse. "Xandreni has been taking care of Invincible since we were sealed away 10 years ago. She gave him back before Khadgar took us to Stormwind''. Denasar explained to his Illidari brother as he helped Kor'vas off the undead horse.
"Whatever, we need to move quickly. With every moment we sit here, the Legion's hold strengtherns''. Altrius stated, getting Denasar to nod at him. "Indeed, there isn't much time. What do you suggest we do, Altrius?'' Denasar asked his second in command, who got straight to the point.
"Illidan and I may have disagreed, but he was unarguably powerful. He was pivocal in vanquishing some of the Legion's most powerful soldiers. However, that may not matter much longer. There are two pairs of blades rumor to be more powerful than even Illidan's that may still be within reach''. Altrius explained to his comrade, getting Denasar to narrow his eyes before he summoned the Warglaives of Azzinoth in his hands.
"Is that so?'' Denasar asked as he held up the right warglaive close to his face, staring at his reflection. "Yes. Regrettably, our numbers are too few to hunt both while maintaining our vigil over the Legion. I fear our window of opportunity is waning quickly. As Illidan's son, the dicision falls to you''. Altrius finished explaining to the heir of the Illidari.
"What are our choices?'' Denasar asked Altrius, who brought out a mape, but instead of showing a location, it showed words. "One of them is called the Aldrachi Warblades. The mighty Aldrachi were one of the few to stand against the Burning Legion. It took Sargeras to fell their greatest champion, seizing his warblades in process. Now the traitorous Illidari Caria, servant of Kil'Jaeden, wields the infamous warblades. The more souls she claims, the more powerful she becomes...'' Altrius explained to Denasar, telling him about the first pair of weapons they could go after.
"And the other one?'' Denasar asked, looking interested so far from hearing about the Aldrachi Warblades. "The other powerful weapons are called the Twinblades of the Deceiver''. Altrius began, immediately getting Denasar's attention. 'Kil'jaedan'. Denasar thought to himself, thinking about the demon that commands the Burning Legion.
"These glaives belong to our former demon hunter teacher Vareids Felsoul, who was slain defending the Black Temple many years ago. The Burning Legion's master, Kil'jaeden the Deceiver, raised Varedis in the Twisting Nether and imbued his glaives with a piece of the demon lord's chaotic power''. Altrius told Denasar about the Twinblades of the Deceiver, who paid great attention.
"Warglaives empowered by the Deceiver himself. Sounds interesting. We'll handle Caria later, let's go find Varedis and show him that serving the Legion was easily the greatest mistake he has ever made''. Denasar stated, making his choice. "Very well. If I recall, you and him were… not very close''. Altrius said, carefully picking his words.
Denasar and Varedis were once teachers to new recruits that joined the cause, but their styles of teaching were different. Varedis treated those under his care with no respect and even punished those that failed him. Denasar treated the ones under his care with respect and care, even helping those who had trouble learning. Also, Varedis was jealous that Denasar was Illidan's heir and would one day lead the Illidari, but despite his hate he still served the Betrayer.
"Indeed. We have a score to settle. Knowing him, he probably thinks himself so highly now that he has some new toys. He never learned that it wasn't the weapon that made the warrior strong, if was how the warrior uses his weapons that count. By the way, how do you know that Varedis is alive?'' Denasar asked his comrade as he crossed his arms.
"Kor'vas spotted the traitor amongst the Legion wielding glaives imbued with power unlike anything she'd ever seen''. Altrius told his leader, getting Denasar to look at his mate, who nervously held his right hand with her left hand. "The Kirin Tor has an eredar lord interred in the Violet Hold that will know where Varedis' base of operation is. The hold's warden has agreed to consider granting us access to him''. Altrius told Denasar, before he smirked.
"Time to play the friendly diplomat''. Altrius added, making Denasar smirk back at him. "Indeed. Let's not keep him waiting, shall we?'' Denasar asked, receiving a nod from Altrius. "I'll meet you there''. Altrius told his fellow Night Elf before he took off, leaping across the wall to the Violet Hold.
"Show off''. Denasar commented, making Kor'vas giggle. "I'll be right back. Could you watch invincible for me?'' Denasar requested from his wife, who nodded to him. "Of course''. Kor'vas replied to her husband, making Denasar smile at her before he took off after Altrius, leaping across the wall to the Violet Hold, where he saw four mages blocking Altrius' face to the hold.
"The eredar you're holding possesses critical information. We need a few minutes alone with him''. Altrius explained to the Warden as Denasar walked up next to him. "I don't trust your kind, "demon hunter''. You and the Legion are one and the same in my book''. The warden named Alturas stated, pointing at Altrius.
Altrius sighed, before he took notice of his leader next to him. "Let's get this done with. These bureaucrats already test my patience''. Altrius told his friend, holding his forehead with his left hand as he took deep breaths to calm down. "Having trouble?'' Denasar asked his comrade as his crossed his arms.
"Whatever gave you that impression? Anyway, we need to find out Varedis' location from the eredar inside this prison. The kind warden and his man here are all that stand in our way. We'll take them on together if need be – whatever it takes''. Altrius explained to his friend, his hands going towards his warglaives.
However, Denasar placed his left hand on Altrius' shoulder, getting him to look at the betrayer's hand. "Calm yourself. There is no need for bloodshed here''. Denasar told his comrade, before he walked up to the warden. "Allow us to pass. We need to have a chat with an eredar lord, and if need be, we'll make your job easy and dispose of it for you''. Denasar requested and offered to the warden, deciding to go with the friendly approach first.
"Why should I trust you? If wanted, I could you and your friend's life right now if I wanted''. The warden questioned, looking at his guards surrounding the two demon hunters. "What do you have to lose either way? Also, Khadgar might not like it if you threaten us''. Denasar replied to the warden, crossing his arms.
The warden growled at Denasar's response. "Fair enough. Let's get this over with, then. You may enter the hold, but I will not put the lives of my guards at risk for your mission. Is that clear?'' The warden asked, reciving a nod from the two demon hunters. "Of course''. Altrius replied to the warden, who turned around, before he teleported inside.
"Come on, let's go''. Denasar said, before he opened the gate. "Right behind you''. Altrius told his friend as the two Night Elves entered the violet hold, where the warden was waiting for them. Denasar looked around and saw many different kinds of creatures in magic cages, preventing them from leaving.
Denasar, Altrius and the warden walked up to an arcane anomaly, acting as the Kirin Tor Protector with two guards with a barrier behind them. "Lower the barrier and evacuate the hold. These demon hunters wish to… have a few words… with the eredar''. The warden requested, with Altrius impatiently tapping his left foot.
The arcane anomaly disappeared, the guards started leaving their posts and the barrier was shut down. "Follow me. I shall open the cell for you". The warden told Denasar, taking off to the cell where the eredar lord was being kept. "I will ensure no one interferes. The demon is all yours". Altrius told his comrade, who smirked at him before he followed after the warden.
Soon they came up to the eredar lord, who growled in rage at the sight of Denasar. "Denasar?! You would stand before me after so many of your kin have fallen? Release me now and I may yet spare you''. The eredar growled out as Denasar and the warden stood in front of the barrier.
"Meet Taldath, one of the most powerful eredar we've ever encountered. I'm sure you two will be fast friends". The warden told Denasar, before he powered down the barrier, freeing the eredar. "Remember, demon hunter… you were never here''. The warden told Denasar, before he teleported away.
"Fool! You dare face me alone?!'' Taldath roared out, before he unleashed a powerful force of magic, throwing Denasar off his feet. Regaining control, Denasar landed on his feet as Taldath teleported in front of him. "I hope you can provide me with a challenge''. Denasar said with a smirk, as flames covered his hands, before they disappeared to reveal the Warglaive of Azzinoth.
"Varedis will hunt down every one of your disgusting ilk. Pity you won't be around to witness it''. Taldath said as he began gathering fel energy in his hands, before firing fel blasts at Denasar, who started dogging them. "Do not test our patience. Tell us where your master is…or die!'' Altrius demanded from the entrance, watching as his friend toyed around with the eredar.
"Vermin! My lord wields power beyond your comprehension! He will end you!" Taldath roared out at Altrius, not noticing Denasar land behind him. "Wrong answer!" Denasar exclaimed as he leaped at Taldath's tail, slicing it off and causing the eredar to roar out in pain.
"Your efforts mean NOTHING! Soon all of Suramar will bow to my master's will!" Taldath called out, making Denasar widen his eyes at one word that the eredar used. 'Did he say…Suramar?' Denasar thought to himself, before he focused back on the task at hand.
Taldath stomped on the ground, creating fel cracks on the ground, forcing Denasar to backflip away from him. "That's all we needed. Finish him off''. Altrius told his friend, who nodded to him as he dodged more Fel blasts from the eredar. "Glady". Denasar replied to his comrade, before he transformed into his demon form.
Denasar spread his wings out before he took flight, flying above the eredar."Behold the Flames of Azzinoth!'' Denasar roared out as he channelled fel energy into the warglaives, before he threw them at the ground.
The blades stabbed the ground as two flaming creatures appeared from them. The Flames of Azzinoth charged at Taldath, grabbing his arms, containing and burning him at the same time, causing the eredar to cry out in pain. "Curse you demon hunter!" Taldath roared out as he unleashed some kind of fel breath from his mouth at Denasar, who was still flying above him.
"See you in the Twisting Nether!" Denasar roared out as he fired a powerful eye beam from his eyes, which easily tore through the fel breath and straight through Taldath. "The Twinblades… will be your end…" Taldath said his final words, before he was obliterated into ashes. With the demon dead, the Flames of Azzinoth disappeared.
The Warglaives of Azzinoth shot out of the ground and back into Denasar's hands, who flew down to the ground, before he turned back into his Night Elf form. 'Well, that was a bit disappointing. He talked big, so I hoped for a challenge, but got a disappointment. Still, of all the places in the Broken Isles, why did Varedis have to be at Suramar?' Denasar thought to himself, thinking of the once capital city of the Night Elves.
"Suramar? That is only a short flight from here". Altrius commented as he walked up next to Denasar, taking notice of his friend looking down at the moment. "Do you have a history with Suramar?" Altrius asked his comrade, who looked at him. "I'd prefer not to talk about it''. Denasar replied to his comrade, who nodded to him in understanding.
"You must lead this hunt, Denasar. A small force will join you to ensure Varedis meets his end. You must try to make it into Varedis' hold undetected, the less time you spend in Legion territory the better. Meet at Krasus' Landing when you are prepared to go". Altrius told his comrade, who nodded to him.
"I will prepare a fel bat at Krasus' Landing to take you to Suramar. Varedis' time has come". Altrius stated, before he ran out of the hold, while Denasar patiently walked out. Denasar walked through the streets of Dalaran, before he made it to Krasus' Landing, where he saw everyone waiting for him.
"Darksorrow and Ravencrest will join you on the hunt, Denasar. You should be able to slip into the hold undetected". Altrius told his comrade, who nodded in understanding before he turned to Kor'vas, who was holding onto Invincible's reins. "Don't cause any trouble for Kor'vas and the others". Denasar told his undead horse, stroking his neck.
Invincible nodded to Denasar, who smiled before he looked at Kor'vas. "I've been meaning to ask, but where's Kayn?" Denasar asked his mate, having been wondering where his Blood Elf second in command is. "He's currently handling something important. After you return from this mission, he'll tell you what he's been up to''. Kor'vas told her mate, who nodded in understanding.
"Denasar". A familiar voice said, getting Denasar and Kor'vas to look to see Keirrastia away from them with a Silver Covenant Hippogryph and a Blood Elf. "I wasn't expecting to see you so soon, Keirrastia". Denasar greeted the Void Elf, who walked up to him. "Nor was I. You appear to be going somewhere. Where?" The Void Elf asked the Demon Hunter, curious on why her new comrade is going.
"To Suramar. We need to handle a traitor who has joined the Legion. Where are you going?'' Denasar asked the Void Elf, noticing that she appeared to be in a hurry. "I'm going to meet up with my aunt. She captured a demon, who has information about my mother and her weapon, Thas'dorah". The Void Elf told the Illidari heir, who narrowed his eyes.
"Be careful. The Legion deceives others, so this might be a trap". Denasar told the Void Elf, who nodded to him. "I know, but this is too great an opportunity to miss. After so many years, I might finally be able to meet my mother''. Keirrastia said, looking down as she thought about her mother, who she has nether met.
"I understand your feelings. Just be careful''. Denasar told his comrade, who nodded to him. "You as well, Denasar''. Keirrastia replied to the demon hunter, before she mounted the Silver Covenant Hippogryph and took off. "She seems…interesting". Kor'vas remarked, noticing how Keirrastia shows no resentment to them.
"Indeed. I must go now. May Elune watch over you and keep you safe". Denasar told his wife, before he mounted the fel bat. The fel bat took flight with Lyana Darksorrow and Illysanna Ravencrest following after him on their fel bates. "Keep your guard up out there. Varedis' skills are the stuff of legend''. Altrius warned his comrade, who smirked. "Not after when I'm done with him". Denasar said, cracking his neck for the upcoming battle with the Blood Elf.
"You know what to do, right?" Lyana asked Illysanna, who nodded to her before she looked at Denasar, who had his back to the two Night Elves. "I know that Denasar will lead the way forward and defeat the Legion one day. That is why I'm willing to give my life if need be". Illysanna replied to her comrade, who nodded to her. "Indeed. Denasar is too important to loose here". Lyana agreed with her fellow demon hunter, knowing they can't loose Denasar now.
Soon the three demon hunters made it to Felsoul Hold, that was full of demons. "Damn! You'll need to destroy the wards sustaining that barrier before you can engage Varedis". Lyana told Denasar, who gritted his teeth. The three demon hunters contiued to fly to a safe landing, but then they were spotted. "They've spotted us! Look out!" Illysanna cried out as she moved her fel bat to Denasar's right, taking a blast from a Legion Cannon.
"Illysanna!" Denasar cried out as Illysanna and her fel bat went crashing down to the ground, dead. "Don't stop, or her sacrafice will be for nothing!" Lyana told her comrade, who granted his teeth, before he contiued flying his fel bat.
More Legion Cannons fired at the two remaining demon hunters, but they manged to dodge a few. However, one managed to strike Lyana and her fel bat. "Lyana!" Denasar cried out in concern for his fellow demon hunter. "Keep going! You have to live to destory the Legion!" Lyana shouted out to Denasar, before she dissapeared in the lower canyon of Felsoul Hold.
"Sister!" Denasar exclaimed, before he gritted his teeth and continued on. "To hell with landing! Behold the power of the son of the Betrayer! This is for my sisters!" Denasar roared out as he transformed into his demon form and dived from his fel bat. Denasar smashed his fist into a cliff, creating a fel explosion that destroyed the Legion Cannon and the Chaosweavers controlling it.
"To arms! Lord Felsoul must not be disturbed". A powerful demon voice commanded from somewhere within Felsoul Hold. Denasar turned back into his Night Elf form as he stood up. "Fools! They think they can stand up to me? They shall pay for their arrogance with their lives!" Denasar roared out as he summoned Warglaive of Azzinoth in his hands, before he began to run down the cliff.
Felsoul Fleshcarvers and Felsoul stalkers stood in Denasar's way, who growled at the sight of them. "Out of my way!" Denasar growled out as he charged at the demons, slicing through them. "Do you crave death, elf? Do you dare face my lord's wrath alone?" The powerful voice from before questioned, getting Denasar's attention as he stomped on a felsoul stalker, pushing it to the ground on its side.
"How's about I show you?" Denasar questioned in return as he sliced the felsoul stalker's head off, before continuing on. "Finish the portal, damn you! We must protect the wards!" The voice demanded as now Felsoul Chaoswavers stood in Denasar's way. Denasar charged as he impaled one Chaoswaver in the chest, before leaping back to dodge Shadow Bolt.
Denasar threw one of his warglaives at another Chaoswaver, stabbing him right in the forehead. "The eredar must breed like crazy. It's like every time I kill one, two more takes its place". Denasar remarked as he walked up to the corpse and pulled his warglaive out.
Soon Denasar made it to one of the wards, where two Chaoswavers stood guard. "Mo'arg, to the front! This has gone on long enough!" The voice exclaimed as a gate burst out of the ground, killing the two Chaoswavers. "Apparently, the Legion cares not for their own allies". Denasar remarked as two big Felsoul Berserkers came out of the portal wielding two giant swords.
"Ha, I feel flattered that the Legion sends me that big of a threat to send two Mo'arg at me. However, it will do so little''. Denasar stated, before he charged at the Berserkers. One of the Berserkers tried to impale Denasar, but he stopped charging, causing the blade to stab the ground instead.
Denasar ran up the sword, before leaping at the Berserker's face, stabbing its only eye. The Felsoul Berserker roared out in pain, before it started waving around its sword. The blind demon cut off its fellow Mo'arg's left hand, causing the demon to cry out, before it let out some kind of breath.
Denasar quickly jumped off the Berserkers as it suffered the death breath from its fellow kin, while the son of the Betrayer dived down at the last Berserker, slicing down its body with his left warglaive, effortlessly cutting it in two. "Big doesn't always mean better. An important lesson that Maiev taught me". Denasar said, before he ran over to the Felshield Ward
Denasar black flipped as he transformed, unleashing his eye beam that destroyed the ward. "Bath them in hellfire! Stop their advance!" The voice demanded, making Denasar's ears twitch as the voice sounded close. His senses going off, Denasar black flipped away, barley dodging a blast that was aimed at him.
Gritting his teeth a little, Denasar turned left to see another Felshield Ward on the other side of a bride, only a large demon was there guarding it. "That must be the one shouting out orders. If he's dead, Varedis might finally come out to play''. Denasar said to himself, before he began running towards the Fel Commander.
"You have gone far enough, mortal. This ends here!" Fel Commander Igrius exclaimed as he swung his axe at Denasar, who blocked it with his warglaives. The two weapons clashed against each other as Denasar was pushed back a bit. "Impressive. You're actually pretty powerful. However…!'' Denasar called out as he transformed, unleashing an eruption of Fel energy, stunning the demon.
"You are not…prepared!" Denasar roared out as he unleashed his eye beam, which tore through the Fel Commander's chest. Igrius groaned out as he collapsed on his back, moaning as Denasar walked up to his head, summoning his left hand warglaive. "Master…I have…failed…'' The Fel Commander Igrius said, staring up at Denasar as he held up his weapon. "This is for my sisters". Denasar told the commanded, before he impaled him right in the face.
Denasar pulled his warglaive out, which was covered in fel blood. 'Lyana, Illysanna, your sacrifices will not be in vain'. Denasar thought to himself as he walked over to the Felshield Ward, destroying it with another eye beam.
"Denasar… it's been years. You should know better than to stand against me". A familiar voice to Denasar said from somewhere within the hold, getting the son of the Betrayer to smirk. 'There you are'. Denasar thought to himself with a smirk. "My master has granted me many gifts. Witness the power of the Deceiver!'' Varedis called out as a Felsoul Crusher landed a bit away from Denasar, who roared at him. 'Did he really summon an Infernal?' Denasar thought to himself, wondering how much power the Twinblades have.
The Felsoul Crusher pulled its left fist back, getting Denasar's attention as he pulled his right fist back. Both Denasar and the Crusher thrust out their fists at the same time, their fists smashing against each other, creating a shockwave that blew debris away. However, Denasar proved stronger as cracks first formed on the Crusher's hand before all over its body, before it crumpled into dust.
"I'm coming for you, Varedis!" Denasar roared out as he transformed back into his Night Elf form, before charging forward. "Pity your allies had to die. Don't worry…I'll put their souls to good use''. Varedis mocked, before laughing.
Denasar started growling at Varedis' words. Two Felsoul Kitualists charged at Denasar with axes, who swung his warglaives, clashing and shattering the weapons. Not giving the two eredar time to react, Denasar engulfed himself in green flames as he spun around, burning and slicing through the two corrupted Draenei.
"You will pay for those words with your life, Varedis!" Denasar growled out with narrowed his as the flames around grew bigger, burning the bodies of the two eredar, before dissapearing. Denasa slowly began walking down the road and soon came face to face with another demon called 'Fist of the Deciver' with a portal next to it.
Flames surrounded the demon's hands, before two swords appeared in its hands. The demon charged at Denasar and swung his right sword. Quick as lightning, Denasar summoned his warglaive and blocked the sword swipe, causing sparks to appear from the two weapons.
The demon swung his other sword, but Denasar humped and landed on the blade, smirking before he backflipp away. "Is that all?" Denasar asked the demon, who let out a roar of rage before charging at the Night Elf. The Fist of the Deciver constantly swung his swords as Denasar at a fast pace, but Denasar dodged of block them all.
Denasar leaped at the Fist of the Deciver and sliced it across the chest, before leaping away. "I havn't mastered this yet, but it's worth a try". Denasar said with a smirk as he landed on his feet, before he floated off the ground. Then a barraige of fel energy came out of Denasar, striking the Hand of the Deciver, covering in in smoke.
Denasar floated back to the ground, staring at the smoke covering the demon. "Well that went better than expect-". Denasar began to say, till one of the Fist of the Deciver's sword came out of the smoke, slamming into Denasar's side, sending him smashing into the last ward.
"That hurt". Denasar stated as he got back on his feet, placing his left hand on his left waist, the spot where the Fist of the Deciver landed a hit on him. 'Maiev would laugh if she saw this. It appeared I got careless and this was the punishment for that. I forgot one of Maiev's important lessons. 'Never let your guard down, even when victoriess'. I cannot make mistakes like that again!' Denasar thought to himself as he summoned his warglaives in his hands.
The Fist of the Deciver charged at Denasar, holding his right sword out to impale him. However at the last second, Denasar dodged left, causing the demon's sword to instead impale the Felshield Ward. "Ha!" Denasar laughed out, before he leaped at the Fist of the Deciver's head, slashing it acroos the face.
The Fist of the Deciver tried to pull its sword out of the ward, but was failing badly. "Do you recuite assistance?'' Denasar asked with a smirk, before leaped at the demon's swords, smashing his warglaives against the tip of the blade, shattering it. The Fist of the Deciver fell onto its back, while Denasar jumped above it.
"Be gone!" Denasar cried out as he was covered in Fel energy, before he dived down and punched the Fist of the Deciver in the stomach. Cracks started to surround the demon's body, before it exploded. Denasar back flipped before he landed on his feet. "That takes care of that". Denasar remarked, before turning around to look at the Felshield Ward.
Wordlessly, Denasar transformed into his demon form and unleashed his eye beam, destroying the last Felshield Ward. "That's all three. Now, only Varedis remains". Denasar said as he turned around to see on the other side of a fel lake, was Varedis in the Havoc Demon Hunter's demon form, but something was different.
Blood Elf demon hunter's winged demon forms have red skin, while Night Elf have dark purple skin. However Varedis' demon form had deep purple skin. The only thing that remained of him is his blonde hair. However what drew Denasar's attention were the blue warglaives in his hands. Even away from them, Denasar could sense the power from them.
"I was Illidari once… left for dead at the Black Temple. Now you will witness the might of my new master!" Varedis roared out, any traces of his former elf self gone. "Oh really? Confident just because you got a new pair of toys?" Denasar asked with a smirk on his face, making Varedis growl at him.
Wordlessly, Varedis held out his left hand as he unleashed fel energy from one of his warglaives into the pool of fel. "Behold the infinit power of the Twinblades!" Varedis called out, before a solid rock appeared in the fel lake, acting as a bridge. Denasar let out an impressed whistle. "Not bad. I'm actully impressed, and can now hardly wait to take thoese Twinblades for myself". Denasar said with a smirk, impressed with the power of the Twinblades.
"So, Illidari, you seek my head, that you might take the Twinblades as your own? Allow me to introduce you to their power… personally". Varedis offered to Denasar, before he leaped back a bit. "How genorus of you". Denasar remarked as he walked over the rocky bridge.
Denasar summoned his warglaives as he took a stance, standing 5 feet away from Varedis, who held up the Twinblades in the same stance. "This is for my sisters, Lyanna and Illysanna! For my father!" Denasar cried out, before he charged at Varedis, which the two demon hunters engaged in a weapon lock, struggling to overpower each other.
"Join me! Unleash your true power. Do not let the weak hold you back!" Varedis cried out, trying to convince Denasar to join him. In response to that, Denasar head-butted Varedis on the head, making him cry out in pain. "Never!" Denasar growled out at Varedis as he broke the weapon lock and swung his warglaive at Varedis, who took flight to dodge.
Denasar looked up at the flying demon, who unleashed his own eye beam at Denasar, who leaped away to dodge. Varedis controlled his eye beam, directing it at Denasar, who held up his warglaives. Varedis' eye beam found its target, but Denasar used his warglaive to shield himself.
Five seconds passed with the Warglaives of Azzinoth protecting Denasar from Varedis, who started to lose his patience. Varedis stopped his eye beam, before he dived down at Denasar, who took a stance. Denasar and Varedis swung their warglaives, resulting in a power clash between the wapons, which forced the two away from each other.
"Behold the might of the Deceiver! Behold the glory of the demon within!" Varedis roared out he charged at Denasar, who charged at him as well. Right when the two were about to clash, Denasar jumped over Varedis, shifting so he was facing his back. Denasar was about to swing his warglaive at Varedis' back, when suddenly he felt something sharp cut his stomach.
"What!?" Denasar cried out as he jumped away before he landed on his feet, kneeling down a bit. Denasar looked to see something unexpected. The Twinblades were floating around Varedis, acting as a shield and weapon for him. 'He can use the Twinblades without holding them!?' Denasar thought to himself in shock.
Varedis turned around and smirked at Denasar. The corrupted Blood Elf took flight, flying above Denasar as the Twinblades flew back into his hand. "I am a GOD! KNEEL BEFORE ME!" Varedis roared out as fel energy surrounded the Twinblades, before unleashing a fel beam at Denasar, slamming his body to the ground.
'He's… controlling gravity?!' Denasar thought to himself, his face pressed against the ground. "Hahaha! At least, you have lost against me! Perhaps if you beg, I'll grant you a painless death!" Varedis laughed out evilly at the sight of Denasar forced to the ground. Denasar lifted his fingers up, before he began to push himself up back up. "By Elune. As if…" Denasar said as he forced himself back to his knees, making Varedis widen his eyes.
"You can still move?" Varedis asked in surprise, while Denasar granted his teeth. "I've lost, you say?" Denasar questioned the once demon hunter as his remembered a memory of his past. He saw himself as a child in Ashenvale Forest, listening carefully as Maiev taught him an important lesson.
'The battle is never over so long as you draw breath. Isn't that right, Maiev?' Denasar thought to himself as Maiev smiled at her student as she ruffed his younger self's hair, who laughed at his teacher.
Denasar finally pushed himself back onto his feet, despite the powerful gravity forced on him. "On top of that, my memories…" Denasar said as his remembered the memories of the battles he took place in the past.
He first saw himself in a battle against humans and orcs with Tyrande and Shandris in Ashenvale Forest. Then, he saw himself battling Tichondrius with his father. Then, he saw himself battling with Thrall, Jaina, humans and orcs against the Scourage with Archimonde leading them in the battle of Mount Hyjal. Then, he saw himself battling against Malfurion, Maiev, his fellow Night Elfs with the Naga on the Broken Isles. Finally, he remembered battling Kael'thas in Tempest Keep in Outland.
"Maiev, the battles I won with your teachings, and what I learned from them. The feelings I sensed from them…" Denasar said, smiling at the memories he sees flashing through his mind. 'Hey, Denasar! Stop playing around and finish this power hungry imbecile'. Denasar heard Maiev's voice, as if she was right here with her student.
Denasar smirked as he looked up at Varedis. "Understood! I'll finish this now!" Denasar cried out as fel energy covered him, before he shot out towards Varedis, who quickly moved his warglaives and blocked Denasar's warglaives from slicing him on the chest. "How can you still have so much power?!" Varedis demanded, struggling as Denasar was beginning to overpower him.
"How, you say? Let's just say I had a tough teacher that never taught me anything easy!" Denasar replied to Varedis with a smirk as fel energy covered his warglaives, before finally overpowering Varedis, sending him smashing into the ground.
Denasar landed a few feet away from Varedis, who stood back on his hooves, glaring at Denasar with utter hatred. "I am through with this charade! Your soul will feed the Twinblades!" Varedis growled out, before he charged at Denasar. "Ha, come then! Let us see settle the scour!" Denasar called out as he body seemed to became a blur before he charged at Varedis.
The two elves started to clash their warglaives against each other, moving too fast for the naked eye to follow. Varedis summoned darkness around him, hopping it would help his chances to defeat Denasar. The two used many demon hunter abilities, such as Blade Dance, Fel Rush and Chaos Nova, but the two didn't give up and continued to battle each other.
"Do not fail me, Varedis". An evil, but familiar voice said from out of nowhere, making Denasar narrow his eyes as both he and Varedis leaped away from each other. 'Kil'jaeden'. The son of the Betrayer thought to himself, recognizing that voice anywhere.
"Unleash the Twinblades and destroy the interloper!" Kil'jaeden commanded Varedis, who smirked evilly as fel energy surrounded the Twinblades. "Gladly, my master!" Varedis replied to Kil'jaeden as he poured more fel energy into his warglaives for one final attack. "So, one final attack, huh?" Denasar asked as he transformed into his winged demon form.
"I use all of my strength into this one final attack!" Denasar cried out as he took his stance, fel energy beginning to cover him. "Prepare to die!" Varedis told the son of the Betrayer as he took a stance as well. Denasar stomped his right hoove into the ground, before he leaped towards Varedis.
Varedis moved his warglaives, ready to counter Denasar's attack. "RRRRAAAA!" Denasar roared out as he swung his warglaives at Varedis. "HHHHRRRRAAAA!" Varedis roared out as he swung the twinblades. The two blades soon make contact with each other, and then…
Clang!
Denasar landed behind Varedis, stomping on the ground. The two transformed elves were silent for 10 seconds, before Varedis collapsed to his knees. The Twinblades of the Deceiver weren't in Varedis' hands anymore, having been thrust out of his hands from the force of the two warglaives clashing against each other with a hug cut on his chest.
The Twinblades of the Deceiver landed a bit away from Denasar, who stood up on his hooves, before he turned to face the kneeling demon. "Impossible!" Varedis cried out in disbelief that he was defeated, even with the Twinblades of the Deceiver. "It's over, Varedis. You have lost and the Twinblades are mine". Denasar told the corrupted Blood Elf, who looked over his shoulder and growled at Denasar.
"Return to Argus. We will deal with this one another day". Kil'jaeden told Varis, who looked enraged that he was commanded to leave. He looked past Denasar at the Twinblades lying behind him, before he scoffed. "I have no need for mortal armaments! This is not over…Illidari!" Varedis roared out, before a portal appeared in front of him and he ran into it.
"Coward!" Denasar cried out as the portal closed in front of him. Sighting, the son of the Betrayer turned back into his Night Elf form, before he turned around to look at the Twinblades. Flames surrounded the Warglaive of Azzinoth, before they disappeared to reveal the warglaives were gone. "The Twinblades empowered by the Deceiver himself. The weapon that will be used to destroy the Legion now belongs to me". Denasar stated as he walked up to the Twinblades, before he grabbed them.
Fel energy surrounded the Twinblades for a moment, before clearing to reveal that they were now a different colour. Instead of blue, they were now green. Denasar smirked as he held the Twinblades above him with both his hands. 'Lyana, Illysanna, our mission was a success. The Twinblades of the Deceiver are now mine'. Denasar thought to himself, thinking of his two Illidari sisters that gave their lives so that he could survive.
Denasar gave a few practice swings with his new warglaives, trying them out to get a feel of them. Denasar covered himself in fel energy, before transferring it over to his Twinblades. The Twinblades spot out of Denasar's hands, spinning around the son of the Betrayer for a few moments, before returning to his hands. 'The Twinblades are powerful, no doubt about that. However, I cannot defeat the Legion alone. I need the other champions of the Alliance and Horde's help. I wonder how they're doing right now'. Denasar thought to himself, looking up at the sky as he thought about the other champions of the Alliance and Horde.
(With Keirrastia)
In a Legion world known as Niskara, Keirrastia and her aunt, Vereesa Windrunner were running up to a cathedral up ahead of them. Earlier after parting ways with the other champions at Dalaran, a snow-white eagle approached her, holding a message for her. Keirrastia took the message and read it.
The message was from someone named Emmarel Shadewarden, asking the Void Elf to meet her at Hunter's Reach. Curious, Keirrastia went to Hunter's Reach, where a Night Elf awaited her. First, Emmarel told the Void Elf of three individuals that knew of three weapons that could aid her against the Legion, so she told her to find them and learn of the three weapons.
Keirrastia went and found a Dwarf named Grif Wildheart, who told her of an Artifact named Titanstrike. Next, she went to find a Highmountain Tauren named Apata Hightmountain, who told her of the Artifact, Talonclaw. Finally, Keirrastia found an old friend of hers called Courler Larkspur, who told the Void Elf that her aunt has found a lead on her mother, Alleria Windrunner and her legendary bow, Thas'dorah. Immediately, Keirrastia decided to join her aunt to find her mother.
First Keirrastia told Emmarel that she wished to go after Thas'dorah. The Night Elf had no trouble with the Void Elf's decision and encouraged her to retrieve the bow. Keirrastia thanked the Night Elf and set out to Krasus' Landing, where she met with Denasar.
The two spoke and wished each other good luck, before they parted. Keirrastia rode her aunt's Silver Covenant Hippogryph down to an island near the Broken Shore called Darkstone Isle, where she met up with Vereesa.
Vereesa had decided to work together with the Farstriders because of the threat of the Legion. The Farstriders were interrogating demons, till one of them gave important information about someone important to both Keirrastia and Vereesa. The demon told them that Keirrastia's mother, Alleria Windrunner was being held captive on a Legion world called Niskara.
Vereesa asked her niece to join her in her mission to save her older sister, which the Void Elf agreed. It was meant to only be the two Windrunners that would go through a portal, created by an elf named Magus Solgaze. However, another elf named Orestes joined the mission uninvited, going through the portal before the two females.
Both Keirrastia and Vereesa journed through the portal into Niskara, their mission to save Alleria and now Orestes beginning. All around the planet, Legion Forces roamed around. However, they were not match for the pair of aunt and niece. Soon they found Orestes, but were too late. He died fighting the demons, searching for Alleria, but didn't made it to the cathedral.
Keirrastia gave the Farstrider a short 'thank you' for trying to find her mother, before she continued on with her aunt. The battled against hordes of demons, even defeating a demon known as Herald Xarbizuld. Coming close to the cathedral, they crossed paths with an Inquisitor named Qormaladon. Keirrastia fought the Inquisitor alone, her aunt having been captured by the demon, who started looking through her memories.
Keirrastia had to summon her animal companions to help her achieve victory, but she still killed the demon and freed her aunt. Now the pair of aunt and niece were on their ways to the cathedral to see if the Void Elf's mother was truly here or not.
"Was she here for days? Years? Centuries? The mage was right… time has little meaning in this place". Vereesa Windrunner questioned, running up the hill next to her niece, who was deep in her thoughts. 'Mother…? Will I… finally be able to meet you?' Keirrastia thought to herself, wishing to meet the woman who birthed her.
Soon the two elves had made it to the cathedral, where something special awaited them. "By the light… There! It's her bow! Thas'dorath!" Vereesa called out, getting Keirrastia to look up ahead and saw her family's legacy bow, Thas'dorath floating above what appears to be a legion container. "I can't believe it. It's really the bow that's been our family's legacy, Thas'dorath". Keirrastia said in disbelief as she and her aunt stopped in front of the container.
"Your mother was here… her bow's presence is the proof! Doubtless she escaped, and the Inquisitor sought to use us to lure her back". Vereesa explained to her niece, who looked down in sadness. "That means… she isn't here anymore". Keirrastia said in sadness that she won't met her mother.
Vereesa placed her left hand on her niece's right shoulder, giving the Void Elf a small smile. "You'll meet your mother soon, Keirrastia. You and Arator will meet your mother and father soon". Vereesa told her niece, who smiled at her words before they both looked back at the legendary weapon.
"Tha'dorah began as our familiy's legacy…but now this weapon has a greater purpose". Vereesa started, before she looked at her niece, who looked back at her. "This is a bow worthy of a hero like Alleria… a hero like you. Take Thas'dorah, Keirrastia. Use it to lead the fight to save Azeroth!" Vereesa told her niece, who had wide eyes that her aunt wanted her to carry the weapon.
Keirrastia narrowed her eyes before she walked up to Thas'dorah, reaching out with her right hand. The Void Elf took ahold of her familiy's legacy, before she held it up, looking at the bow with a smirk. Void energy surrounded Thas'dorath before clearing, revealing that the bow's colour had changed to green.
"I never thought that one day… I would wield my family's legacy". Keirrastia whispered in disbelief, bringing the bow closer to gaze at it. "I know Alleria's bow is in the right hands. In the hands of her daughter, a daughter of the Windrunners. Your mother would be proud of you, Keirrastia, as am I". Vereesa told her niece with a smile, feeling so proud of her niece for all her achievements and now, wielding the bow of their family.
"Find the invaders! Retake the cathedral! Slaughter them all!" A deep voice called out from outside the cathedral, getting the two Windrunners to widen their eyes. "I think we've overstayed our welcome, aunt Vereesa". Keirrastia said to her aunt as she strapped Thas'dorath to her back.
"Indeed. Sounds like we're about to be overrun. Let us leave this wretched place to the demons". Vereesa replied to her niece, before she started chanting to use her portal stone. Both Windrunners were teleported off Niskara, failing to find the Void Elf's mother, but succeeding in finding their family's legacy.
(With Deathsword)
In the frozen lands of Northrend, atop Icecrown Citadel was Deathswordn, looking at two swords that look similar to legendary runeblade, Frostmourne. Sitting on the frozen throne incased in ice was the new Lich King, once known as Bolvar Fordragon, looking down at the Ebon Blade champion.
Earlier, after splitting up from the other champions, Deathsword heard the voice of the new Lich King in his mind. The Lich King had ordered the Ebon Blade back to Icecrown, where Deathsword would undergo a mission to receive a powerful weapon to use against the Legion. The legendary ruinblade used by the former Lich King, Frostmourne, later to be known as the Blades of the Fallen Prince.
Frostmourne was shattered in the battle against the Lich King when Tirion Fordring used the Ashbringer, but wasn't destroyed. The shards were shattered around Icecrown. After meeting with his fellow Death Knight Darion Mograin, Deathsword entered Icecrown, battling the spirits haunting the place. The spirits of Paladins that Arthas killed and trapped inside Frostmourne, that were freed but still in torment.
After gathering the shards, Deathsword ascended to the top floor where he battled the former Lich King. There, he saw the new Lich King and the hilt of Frostmourne. Deathsword channelled his powers into the blade, changing Frostmourne into the Twinblades of the Fallen Prince.
Before Deathsword could claim them, the Lich King told the Blood Elf that two powerful souls remained inside. Deathsword entered the twinblades, where he battled the souls of Arthas and Ner'zhul. It was a hard fought battle, but Deathsword claimed his revenge twice. After leaving the blades, Deathsword claimed his prize, the Blades of the Fallen Prince.
'At least, they are mine now!' Deathsword thought to himself, marvelling at the two swords in his hands. He could feel the power inside of them, but he wouldn't allow them to control him as they did Arthas. 'I will be the one to control and master you, and I won't fail as Arthas did'. The Death Knight thought to himself, looking down at the blades.
"You have done well. Ascend to my throne and receive your charge". The Lich King told Deathsword, getting the death knight to look up, before he began to walk up the throne and kneeled down to the king of the Scourge. "Where the weak showed mercy, you did not hesitate to strike. Where the unworthy were vanquished, you have conquered". The Lich King began, getting Deathsword to look at the frozen king.
Suddenly, Deathsword felt something being absorbed into him, making him gasp. "I now mark you with my sigil, let all recognize you as the enforcer of my will". The Lich King told the Death Knight, who stood up on his feet, the twinblades still in his hands. "As we speak the Ebon Blade is en route to the Broken Isles to hunt for the Dreadlords. Go, ensure that not a single demon escapes my wrath! Crush all who stand in your way!" The Lich King told his death knight as a death gate appeared next to Deathsword.
"I swear that every single Dreadlord will die by my hand". Deathsword assured the Lich King as he walked into the death gate, which closed after him. In the lower levels of Icecrown in the Crimson Hall stood Xandreni, standing over the body of her relative, Lyandra Sunstrider, only she was now undead.
After regaining her energy back in Dalaran, Xandreni meet with an undead mage named Meryl Felstorm, who warned her of an escaped dreadlord in the Violet Hold. The drealord named Kathra'natr sought out the Forge of the Guardian. Xandreni and Meryl Felstorm battled the dreadlord in the violet hold, but he was proving to be too powerful.
Meryl held the dreadlord still, while Xandreni destroyed the rifts holding the forge. With the forge complete, Xandreni activated it, taking Alodi's power that allowed her to temporarily destroy the dreadlord. The spirit of Alodi, appeared before the two mages, before they all teleported the forge in a secret place known as the Hall of the Guardian.
With the forge safe, Meryl made plains for Xandreni to retrieve an Artifact to help her against the Burning Legion. Xandreni chose to search for her family's legendary runeblade, Felo'melorn.
Xandreni's father, King Anasterian wielded the blade in battle against Arthas during the Scourge invasion of her homeland. Even with the legendary blade, her father was killed in battle; even the blade was split in two. Later, Xandreni's brother Prince Kael'thas had Felo'melorn reforged with magic, hatred, and a burning need for revenge.
During the battle in Nothrend, Kael'thas lost the blade after being defeated Arthas. As the last Sunstrider, it was her duty to reclaim the blade. So Xandreni sought the help of Archmage Modera, and an old friend, Aethas Sunreaver.
Still unwelcomed in Dalaran, Aethas requested that they meet in Hillsbrad Foothills. There, they discussed how to recover the runeblade. Aethas Sunreaver told her princess that her distant relative, Lyandra Sunstrider has been searching for the blade and has disappeared looking for it.
Aethas explained he saw a vision of Lyandra with the weapon in hand inside Icecrown Citadel. After discussing it, Aethas teleported his princess Xandreni to Icecrown, so she could search for Lyandra and Felo'melorn. Though she hoped to see her relative alive, Xandreni's hopes were low.
After entering and wondering around for a bit, Xandreni heard the voice of the Lich King inside her head. The Lich King guided her to the Crimson Hall, where she crossed paths with her relative. Like Aethas feared, Lyandra didn't give Felo'melorn to the princess of the Blood Elfs, even attacking her and claiming the blade belongs to her.
Having no choice, Xandreni battled her last blood relative, before Aethas joined the battle and together, they slayed Lyandra.
Xandreni looked down at the body of Lyandra with sad eyes. "You left me no choice, Lyandra". Xandreni said in sadness as she closed her eyes, a tear escaping her right eye. "My princess…" Aethas began, getting Xandreni to turn around to see her fellow mage holding his right hand out to the floating runeblade, as if it was overjoyed that its rightful master has come for it.
"Felo'melorn is yours". Aethas finished, making Xandreni smile at him for a bit, as she walked up to the blade. "All doubt has been banished! You are truly worthy of the blade! Claim your prize and leave, princess of the Sunstriders. The living have no place within my prison of ice". The Lich King told the Blood Elf princess, who paid no attention to him.
Xandreni stared at the blade for a few moments, before she slowly raised her right hand and told hold of the sword. Xandreni hold her family's sword up with a smile, while flames surrounded her left hand before clearing to show that she was now holding the Heart of the Phoenix.
'Father, brother, Felo'melorn is back where it belongs'. Xandreni thought to herself, thinking about her father and brother, the last two true wielders of the blade she now holds. "At last, the blade is the hands of the true Sunstrider heir! Congratulations, my lady!" Aethas praised his princess, who smiled at her old friend.
"I couldn't have done it alone without you, Aethas. I'm happy that you're back". Xandreni told her friend, happy for his return and that her family's blade was now safe in her hands. "You flatter me, my lady. Let's go… before the Lich King decides we overstayed our welcome. I must plead my case before the council". Aethas said as he created a portal that would take them back to Dalaran.
"Just as you helped me, it is my turn to return the favour. I will do everything I can to help convince the council to allow you back into Dalaran". Xandreni told her friend, wanting to help him just as he did her. "Your words bring me such comfort, my lady. You will make an excellent queen". Aethas replied to the Blood Elf princess, making her laugh in joy as the two entered the portal, leaving Icecrown citadel.
(With Marken)
On the Broken Shore, inside a cave near the Lost Temple, Marken walked atop a mound of stone towards the Ashbringer. The highblade was stabbed in the ground with beams of light infused lightning covering the floor around the blade, but made way for the human.
After splitting up from the other champions, Marken was approached by his old friend and fellow Paladin, Maxwell Tyrosus. The two paladins gathered nearby Paladins in Dalaran, before meeting up with Lady Liadrin, Aponi Brightmane and Vindicator Boros. The four Paladins discussed on what artifact to recover.
In the end, they decided to recover the Ashbringer. Even if Tirion Fordring was gone, the high blade was still out there. To learn its whereabouts, Marken travelled with Maxwell to the plaguelands to Uther's tomb. The graves and spirits around the tomb were in torment, so Marken eased their suffering, before joining Maxwell for an audience with their old friend.
The light answered their pray and appeared before the two Paladins were their old friend, Uther. Though overjoyed to see their old friend, Marken and Maxwell kept their focus at the task at hand. Uther explained to them that the Ashbringer was close to the Tomb of Sargeras, and the hightblade wasn't alone.
Tirion was alive, but not for much longer. After telling the two paladins of the hightblade's location, Uther disappeared with Marken and Maxwell beginning him not to leave. Marken and Maxwell hurried to Light's Hope Chapel to gather their forces to save their leader. With an army of Paladins at their back, Marken and Maxwell rode off to the Broken Shore.
Upon landing, they came across an army of demons. The paladins battled the demons, emerging victories, but only few survived. Marken journeyed off alone to find Tirion, slaying any demons that stood in his way. A jailor known as Zerus had Tiron trapped in a fel crystal, sucking the life out of him.
Marken slew the jailor, and Maxwell caught up with them. Maxwell began to free Tirion, while Marken searched for the Ashbringer. During his search in the cave, Marken heard the voice of the dreadlord, Balnazzar. Surprisingly, the dreadlord didn't attempt to stop Marken and allowed him to continue, which now lead to here.
"The…Ashbringer…" Marken whispered in disbelief as he stood in front of the legendary blade, which seemed to glow at how close the paladin was to it. 'Am I…really worthy to wield the legendary blade. I came so far for the Ashbringer, I must not step away now!' Marken thought to himself with narrowed eyes, before he raised his hands up.
Taking a hold of the grip of the Ashbringer, Marken effortlessly lifted up the blade. Marken held the blade above him with his right hand to the sky, staring at the legendary weapon in awe. 'I did it. The Ashbringer has chosen me!' Marken thought to himself in joy that he was now the wielder of the legendary blade.
Sadly, his joy was short lived as the dreadlord, Balnazzar appeared before him. "I've been waiting for you, Paladin. Know that I will rip the soul from your flesh and make your body my own". Balnazzar said with a smirk as demonic energy surrounded his hands.
Marken had enough time to strap the Ashbringer to his back, before demonic energy covered him, chocking him as he was lifted off the ground and in front of Balnazzar. "I will turn you into a weapon of the Legion. I will use your hollow shell to corrupt and destroy everything you have ever loved, piece by piece. Now, kneel. Kneel before your new master". Balnazzar commanded as Marken was set down on the ground, kneeling to the dreadlord.
Marken's vision began to darken, his body starting to become cold and heavy. 'Is this…it?' Marken thought to himself, almost above to lose conscious. 'Give me the strength to shatter these bonds'. Marken heard Tirion's voice in his head, making the Paladin widen his eyes.
'No! I won't…become a…servant!' Marken thought to himself as a wave of light began to erupt from Marken. "You cannot fight my will. You are mine". Balnazzar said to Marken, who growled as he felt the light of the Ashbringer return his strength to him.
Images of Marken's close friends appeared in his mind, reminding him what he was fighting for. Lastly, Marken saw the face of his true love, Alexstrasza in his mind, making Marken roar out as light erupted from him, freeing him from the demonic magic.
Marken held up the Ashbringer as light lit up the cave, causing Balnazzar to hiss. "Very well. This will be a fine test". Balnazzar remarked as he charged at Marken, who let out a battle cry as he gripped the Ashbringer with both his hands and charged at the dreadlord.
Light energy wings formed on Marken's back as he fought the dreadlord, using the highblade to quickly begin overpowering him. "Know that I am Balnazzar. Know that you are but a pawn in plans beyond your reckoning". Balnazzar told the Paladin, who roared out as he held the Ashbringer up.
A hammer made of light came down on Balnazzar, damaging the dreadlord, before Marken hurls a divine hammer at him, sending the demon to the ground on his back. "Know that I am Marken, Paladin of Azeroth, mate of the Dragon Queen herself, and now, wielder of the Ashbringer!" Marken told the demon as he jumped into the air, diving down to stab the demon in the chest.
Balnazzar turned into green mist as he teleported away, escaping death as Marken stabbed the Ashbringer into the ground. Pulling the Ashbringer out, the human turned to look at the dreadlord standing a bit away from him. Balnazzar fired demonic magic from his hands at Marken, who held up his left hand as a shield of light surrounded him, blocking Balnazzar's attack.
Rising up the Ashbringer, another hammer of pure light dropped down on Balnazzar's head, stunning him. Marken summoned a hammer of light in his left hand and threw it at Balnazzar, striking the demon's head and causing blood to spill out.
Balnazzar spat out blood, before he growled at Marken. "You are here because I will it. You live because I will it. And you will serve because I will it!" Balnazzar roared out as he teleported back atop the mound of stone, releasing a mist at Marken.
The Paladin summoned an Argent Warhorse, Marken charged forth, bypassing the mist and swung the Ashbringer across Balnazzar's chest, making the dreadlord roar out in pain. "You have no control over me, dreadlord! I fight for the light and for Azeroth!" Marken exclaimed as his Argent Warhorse disappeared.
Balnazzar held his chest in pain, before he disappeared down on solid ground. "Do you think me so foolish to stand alone?" Balnazzar questioned with a smirk as he held up his demonic magic covered claws up, as demonic portals appeared next to him, with fel imps coming out.
Marken walked down the mound of stone, closing his eyes as he held the highblade with both his hands. 'Feel the wrath of the Ashbringer!' Marken thought as light covered the highblade. The imps charged at Marken, who held the sword up before he lashed out, killing all the imps with one swing of the highblade.
"Impressive. I did not expect you to attune to the Ashbringer so quickly. No matter, I will finish you off personally". Balnazzar said to the wielder of the Ashbringer, who opened his eyes and glared at the dreadlord. Marken strapped the Ashbringer onto his back, before he brought out a book.
Opening the book, Marken began to chant as he placed a blessing on himself, creating a shield around him. With the blessing done, Marken put his book away and held up the Ashbringer once more. A blade of pure light came out of the ground under Balnazzar, impaling the demon, who coughed out more blood.
"Enough. Never again will that damned blade slay my brethren! YOU… WILL… DIE!" Balnazzar roared out as the blade disappeared, before the dreadlord charged at Marken, who held the Ashbringer with both his hands. "Wrong! Never again will you demons kill anyone important to me! Feel the wrath, of the Ashbringer!" Marken cried out as he swung the highblade, releasing a razor sharp wave of holy energy that smashed Balnazar into the wall.
Marken breathed in and out in exhaustion, before he slowly began to walk towards Balnazar with the Ashbringer, until the dreadlord turned into mist and disappeared. "You think this is over, paladin? Our journey together has just begun…" Marken heard Balnazzar's voice in his head, making the Paladin narrow his eyes.
"No matter how many times you return, I'll defeat you as many times as needed till you learn that we will never surrender to you!" Marken cried out, holding the Ashbringer up with both his hands.
"Marken, you must come quickly. Tirion called for you by name. I fear he does not have long for this world. Hurry!" Maxwell called out from atop the stairs, getting Marken's attention immediately. "Tirion!" Marken exclaimed in concern for the highlord as he strapped the Ashbringer to his back, before he hurried out of the cave with Maxwell.
"We have to get out of here before more demons come. Quickly, the Highlord is just outside the temple". Maxwell told Marken as the two humans hurried out of the cave to back outside. Upon reaching outside where Marken left Maxwell to free the Highlord, the human saw more paladins surrounding Tirion, who was lying down with light surrounding him.
"Marken… come closer…" Tirion requested his fellow Paladin, who walked up to the fallen Highlord and knelt down next to him. "Tirion… is there nothing we can do for you?" Marken asked the Highlord, wanting to know if there was a way to save him. "No… I'm afraid… there isn't… my old friend. My time… is up. You must… wield the blade… you must… stop the Legion… You must become… the Ashbringer". Tirion told his fellow Paladin, before the life left his eyes and a sphere of light came out, floating into the sky with all the Paladins watching it with sad looks, before they all kneel down.
"You will be missed, brother". Maxwell said in sadness for the lost of his old friend. "Tirion… I will not fail you… I swear it". Marken swore to the fallen Highlord, swearing to end the Legion with his comrades. "We must go to Light's Hope Chapel at once. Highlord Fordring deserves to be put to rest amongst the ancient heroes of the Light buried there". Maxwell told his fellow paladins, who nodded to him in agreement.
Marken walked up to Maxwell, who smiled at him. "I owe you my life, Marken. We all do". Maxwell told the new Ashbringer, who looked down at the ground. "I wish I could have done more". Marken said in sadness that he couldn't save Tirion's life.
"You've done more than enough. For now, we must put Highlord Tirion to rest. There is but one place suitable for a paladin of his caliber… Light's Hope Sanctum, a secret bastion of the Light hidden beneath our chapel. Paladins the world over will join us for the ceremony. I know Tirion would want you there most of all". Maxwell explained to Marken, who lifted his face to look at Maxwell.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world". Marken replied to his fellow paladin, who smiled at his words. "We gave everything for the Ashbringer… you gave everything, Marken. Tirion would be proud to see you wielding that blade". Maxwell told Marken, who smiled at his words. "Let's us go then". Marken said as he summoned an Argent Hippogryph. The rest of the Paladins summoned their mounts and took flight, with Maxwell crying Tirion's body.
At the other side of the Broken Shore in front of the Tomb of Sargeras, Gortkaluz held up the warlock artefact, the Scepter of Sargeras with his right hand, grinning as demonic energy surrounded him as the horde of demons watched the Troll.
After separating from the rest of the champions in Dalaran, Ritssyn Flamescowl appeared before Gortkaluz, requesting the Troll to join the council of the Black Harvest. Gortkalux meet with the council members of the Black Harvest in Dalaran's underbelly, where they summoned the overlord of the Dreadscar, Jagganoth.
The Warlock Zelifrag Wobblepox tried to enslave the demon, but died a quick death. Jagganoth captured the Council of the Black Harvest and Gortkaluz, taking them to the Dreadscar Rift. Gortkaluz managed to escape, taking control of a jailor named Beshtar, before killing him with Ritssyn. Gortkalux met a demon named Calydus, who helped the troll to free the other members of the Black Harvest.
Together, along with Calydus, began to escape the Dreadscar Rift, accruing a tomb called 'Tome of Blighted Implements. However, Jagganoth discovered them and the Warlocks had no choice, but to try to escape. However, only Gortkaluz and Calydus escaped back to Dalaran, the others were captured again.
Back in Dalaran's underbelly, Gortkaluz and Calydus began discussing a way to slay Jagganoth with them agreeing to find a Warlock Artifact. Gortkaluz decided to go after the most powerful, not to mention hardest Artifact, the Scepter of Sargeras. The sceptar created by the dark titan himself and was the weapon that nearly destroyed draenor.
Only problem was that the Legion had the sceptre. Gortkaluz travelled to Caer Darrow, where members of the Shadow Council were to acquire Gul'dan's plans. Gortkalux killed Shadow Council members, one blood elf named Braelyn Firehand and an oc named Jergosh the Invoker, accruing the Book of Medivh from them.
With the book in hand, Gortkalux learned of Gul'dan's plans. The orc planned to use the Book of Medivh, Scepter of Sargeras and Eye of Dalaran to summon more powerful portals to bring forth more demons. Calydus came up with a plan for Gortkaluz to both trick Gul'dan and recive the Scepter of Sargeras.
The Troll loved the plan and agreed to it. The first step was to recover the Eye of Dalaran, to earn respect and trust so they won't think he's a double agent. Gortkaluz took a portal to Tol Barad and found two Shadow Council members. One was an Orc named Nagaz and the other was a Nightborn named Allaris Narassin.
Allaris sent Gortkalux to find Nagaz's disciple, who went to find the Eye of Dalaran. Tyranis was a Night Elf who chose to serve the Legion, so Gortkaluz let him be sucked up into a black hole, making it seem like an accident. Before Gortkaluz could continue his search, Nagaz requested to have a talk with him.
Except, it was a trap to try to kill the Troll, only he died by Gortkaluz's hands instead. With the Orc dead, Gortkaluz meet up with Allaris, where the two found the prison manifest. The two went to Baradin Hold, where a void terror had the Eye of Dalaran. The two fought together and killed the creature, with Allaris receiving the Eye of Dalaran.
With the Eye of Dalaran in hand, Allaris teleported to the Tomb of Sargeras, while Calydus created a portal for Gortkaluz to take back to Dalaran. Gortkalux took a Fel Bat to the tomb, where many demons where gathered, along with Allaris and Gul'dan himself. The Orc Warlock looked pleased to see the Troll and accepted him into his ranks.
Gul'dan promised the two positions in the Shadow Council and told them what to do next. To use the scepter itself, the Eye of Dalaran and Book of Medivh, they would amplify the portal and open a gateway to countless demon worlds. Gul'dan went through the portal to Argus to act as a stabilizing anchor.
Before he left, Gul'dan made it clear he only needed one of the two to wield the sceptre. So Gortkalux and Allaris battled, with the Troll emerging as the victory. Gul'dan, using a legion communicator to watch the battle, wasn't surprised at the outcome and told Gortkaluz to take the Scepter of Sargeras.
Now Gortkaluz stood, holding the sceptre of the dark titan himself up with a smirk. "De Scepter of Sargeras is mine now!" Gortkalux exclaimed with a smirk on his face, looking at the sceptre of the dark titan himself. "The time has come! Begin the incantation. Focus the scepter on the altar. Today we usher in the end this world!" Gul'dan told Gortkaluz, who looked at the projection of the Warlock, before facing the Tomb of Sargeras.
Eredar gathered around the altar and began gathering fel magic. 'Now is friend's chance! Use altar to summon bad portals, not good ones! Quick!' Gortkaluz heard Calydus' voice in his head, making the Troll smirk. 'Ya got it'. Gortkaluz replied to his new demon ally.
Holding up his right hand, Gortkalux began channelling energy into the sceptre. Suddenly a wave of fel energy erupted around the Troll, blasting all nearby demons away and opening many portals. Demons came out of the portals and began attacking all nearby demons.
"Fool! Your betrayal only delays the inevitable! I will save a special prison for you when all you know is destroyed and you lie broken before me". Gul'dan told Gortkaluz, growling in anger at the Troll. "We'll see about tat! See ya, Gul'dan". Gortkaluz replied to Gul'dan with a smirk on his face.
'Quick, quick, through my portal! Flee!' Gorkaluz heard Calydus' voice inside the head, which the Troll looked to see a Demonic Portal waiting for him. "Yahooh!" Gortkaluz cheered out as he ran into the portal, leaving the battle of demons.
(Meanwhile with Reugus)
In the land of Stormheim and in Tideskorn Harbor, Reugus held up the Warswords of Valor with his hands, in his Worgen form, growling at the Specter of Helya.
After separating from the other champions of the Horde and Alliance, Reugus came across Sergeant Dalton. The human had a message from Danath Trollbane, for the Worgen Warrior, asking him to meet him at Krasus' Landing.
Reugues hurried there and found the human waiting for him. Danath asked the Worgen to accompany him in scouting the Broken Shore, which the Worgen agreed before they both took flight on Elite Gryphons. However, they were spotted and Reugus was shot down. Landing at the shore, Reugus found Vrykul warriors awaiting him.
Reugus battled with the Vrykul against the horde of demons. It was truly a glorious battle, but Reugus and the Vrykul. However, a pit lord called Malgalor, Lord of Butchery appeared and began slaughtering the Vrykul. Reugus managed to kill the demon, who tried to take the Worgen Warrior with him and almost succeeded.
However, a live Val'kyr appeared and healed Reugus. Although thankful, Reugus asked the Val'kyr why she helped him. The Val'kyr introduced herself as Danica the Reclaimer, before she took him to an unknown place called Skyhold, where Reugus meet Odyn. Odyn named Reugus Valarjar, commander of his forces to fight the Legion.
Odyn told Reugus of three weapons worthy of his new title. Reugus chose to go after the Warswords of Valor, the swords of Odyn's champion. However, Helya stole them from Odyn, and Reugus planned to steal them back.
Reugus actually shot down from Skyhold and crash-landed in Tideskorn Harbor. Reugus killed many helarjar that got in his way, searching for Helya's champion, Vigfus Bladewind. Reugus slaughtered all the undead warriors, before he found his target. Vigfus at first, wasn't providing a challenge. However, he took off deeper into the harbour, with the Worgen Warrior chasing after him. Reugus soon found Vigfus, but the spectre of Helya appeared and empowered the warswords, granting her champion more power.
Excited at seeing Vigfus infused with power from Helya, Reugus charged into battle and began to enjoy himself. Vigfus finally proved a challenge as Reugus was forced to battle with everything he had, and emerged victories.
Which now lead to here, Reugus holding up the warswords, and growling at the spectre of Helya, who was glaring at the Worgen. "I grow weary of your presence! Tell Odyn that this changes nothing! We will suffer my wrath for ages to come!" The spectre of Helya exclaimed, before she disappeared from the Worgen's sight.
"We'll see about that, witch!" Reugus growled out like a rabid animal, placing the warswords on his back. "Champion, well done!" A female voice praised the Worgen as a live Val'kyre flew down next to Reugus. The Warrior turned to look at the servant of Odyn and saw a glowing circle on the ground next to the Val'kyre.
"This will take you back to Skyhold!" The Val'kyre told the Warrior, who nodded to her in thanks. "Well, beats traveling". Reugus remarked as he walked into the glowing energy, before he suddenly shot out into the sky. "What the devil!" Reugus cried out in surprise at the unexpected flight as he continued going up into the sky.
(With Alcouris)
In the land of Azsuna, inside the Temple of a Thousand Lights, Alcouris stood above the dead body of the undead Dread Admiral Eliza, holding up The Dreadblades, his eyes narrowed and looking like he was smirking. After splitting up with the others in Dalaran, Alcouris met a Ravenholdt Courier, who had a message for him. It was a message from Lord Jorach Ravenholdt, who asked for his presence in the Halls of Shadows.
After reading the message, Alcouris destroyed the letter and took off to Glorious Goods. He talked to "Red" Jack Findle, and said 'The raven calls". With those words, Jack showed the Undead Rouge a secrete passage to the Halls of Shadow, where Alcouris meet the Uncrowned and became a member of the Council of Shadows.
Their first course of action was to find powerful weapons to use against the Legion. Alcouris heard from Fleet Admiral Tethys about a weapon called 'The Dreadblades'. Interested, Alcouris decided to go after those with the Fleet Admiral. In exchange for his assistance for getting the Dreadblades, Fleet Admiral Tethys required Alcouris' aid in retaking his ship from the Dread Admiral Eliza.
Agreeing, the two took off for Booty Bay to set sail Azsuna. Arriving at Dead Man's Bay, Alcouris and the Fleet Admiral took off to retake the Horizon's Edge. To reach the ship, Alcouris had to sneak past the guards and fight First Mate DeGauza. Coming close to killing him, the first mate ran away from the fight.
With his ship back, Fleet Admiral Tethys told Alcouris to go to the Temple of a Thousand Lights to find the Dreadblades. With the information, Alcouris went off to the temple and killed whatever got in his way. Arriving at the temple, Alcouris met Dread Admiral Eliza, who unleashed a Sea giant called Lord Brinebeard, who killed First Mate DeGauza.
The Sea giant proved troublesome, but still fell to the Undead Rouge thanks to Tethys' aid, before he instantly went after the dread admiral. Many stood in his way, but they all fell to the Banshee Queen's Rouge champion, and he soon found Dread Admiral Eliza. The two battled, with the Dread Admiral Eliza proving her reputation of being a feared pirate, but she fell before the champion of the Forsaken.
Now, Alcouris held up the Dreadblades in victory over the dead Dread Admiral Eliza. "The Dreadblades are mine, undead pirate. Rest assured, they are in good hands, who will use them to save Azeroth". Alcouris told the undead female pirate, looking down at her dead body.
"We can't hold 'em off forever! Get the lead outta yer boots and get outta there!" Fleet Admiral Tethys' voice screamed across the temple, before debris started to fall. "The living… always so loud. Though he does have a point, I have no plans to die again". Alcouris stated before he began to run out of the temple, dodging the debris.
Soon Alcouris made it out of the Temple, where Fleet Admiral Tethys was waiting for him, atop a Bloodsall Gryphon with three more with two of them having riders, while the last one was flying close to the ground. "Ye made it out in one peace! Ah, and you have 'em! I've see ne finer swords in all me days". Tethys praised the Undead Rouge as Alcouris mounted the only gryphon without a rider.
"Back to the Hall of Shadows!" Alcouris exclaimed as they all began flying back to Dalaran. "We'll sail to Dalaran. It's a short voyage from here. I'll meet ya in the Hall of Shadows". Fleet Admiral Tethys told Alcouris, before he flew back to his ship, leaving the undead rouge to fly back to Dalaran with his escorts.
(With Vahrazlyphii)
In Tirisfal Glades, once the home of the capital city of Lorderon, under Tyr's Fall in the Vestibule of the Silver Hand and inside the Darkwalk, Vahrazlyphii stood, holding up Xal'atath, the Blade of the Black Empire with her right hand, looking at the blade with a frown on her face.
After splitting up from the others in Dalaran, Vahrazlyphii was approached by a Hooded Priestess. She told the daughter of the Prophet to attend a meeting at Tirisfal Glades. Vahrazlyphii decided to go and see what this meeting was about and travelled to Tirisfal Glades.
Upon arriving, Vahrazlyphii meet a woman named Calia, the sister of the Lich King, once princess of Lorderon. The daughter of the Prophet also met a male undead priest named Alonsus Faol. Alonsus had been working in the shadows for a long time, but has decided to step out of them. He sought to unit the priesthood to face the Burning Legion, and protect Azeroth.
In order to do this, Alonsus required a Priest that has fought against many threats and won. He choose Vahrazlyphii to lead them and asked her to take the lead, which she accepted the undead man's officer. Overjoyed at her acceptance, Alonsus told Vahrazlyphii of three artifacts that they could search for and acquire for her to use against the Legion.
Vahrazlyphii liked what Alonsus was saying and listened to his words. Alonsus told her of a weapon that could help her, but was dangerous. The weapon was a dagger called Xal'atath, the Blade of the Black Empire. Despite hearing it was dangerous, it was the only weapon that could help a Shadow Priest like Vahrazlyphii, so she travelled to Tyr's Fall.
Alonsus told Vahrazlyphii that the blade was in the hands of the Twilight Hammer and that they were preparing for a ritual. Upon arriving, Vahrazlyphii searched for clues about the blade, but found notes of the blade. The notes told how the blade changed the new leader of the Twilight Hammer, changing him into a servant of the Black Empire.
With all the notes in hand, Vahrazlyphii went underwater, swimming to the Vestibule of the Silver Hand. Upon arriving, the daughter of the Prophet met with a Dwarf named Shadowlord Slaghammer, who had been acting as a double agent for Moira, Queen of the Dark Iron.
The two travelled deeper into the cave, but not before Slaghammer told Vahrazlyphii about the blade she seeks. He says it oozes shadows and seems to cut the very light. It even said that the blade might have a mind of its own. Disturbed a bit, Vahrazlyphii continued on, knowing she still needs the blade.
Vahrazlyphii and Slaghammer battled the minions of the Twilight Hammer, even creatures of the Void, and slew them, continuing on to find Xal'atath. Arriving at the Darkwalk, Vahrazlyphii and Slaghammer found Farthing, the Twilight Deacon, who was trying to revive a creature called Zakajz.
Faceless Guardians tried to stop the daughter of the Prophet, but failed to her. With the minions out of the way, Vahrazlyphii battled Farthing. It was a battled between two masters of Void Magic, but Vahrazlyphii began to overpower him. However, before she could land the final blow, Xal'atath floated out of Farthing's hand and floated above the ground.
Then, Vahrazlyphii heard a voice coming from the blade itself. The voice sounded female, but cold as ice. The blade deemed Farthing weak and pitiful. Farthing begged for another chance, but was denied it as the blade erased him completely. With Farthing gone, Xal'atath turned her attention to Vahrazlyphii. Instead of attacking her, Xal'atath seemed to like Vahrazlyphii, telling her that she will aid her in the battle against the Legion.
Now Vahrazlyphii stood, holding Xal'atath with her right hand as void energy surrounded her, empowering her with void magic. 'The blade… I mustn't trust it. It may grant me such power, but it cares not for Azeroth. Although she will fight with me to destroy the Legion, Xal'atath cannot be trusted'. Vahrazlyphii thought to herself, looking into the eye of the blade, which blinked at her.
'Yes, we are eager to feast on the fallen titan's minions. But first… Zakajz'. Xal'atath said as her eye turned to look at the creature, getting the daughter of the Prophet to look at the monster that Farthing tried to revive. "What about it?" Vahrazlyphii questioned the blade, looking back into Xal'atath's eye.
'The cultists may try to stir him again, or he could awaken on his own. We must consume his essence to ensure he is gone forever. You know this must be done'. Xal'atath told the Shadow Priest Draenei, who looked back at the sleeping monster, before she held out Xal'atath at it's body.
Shadows covered Vahrazlyphii as Xal'atath began to drain Zakajz's essence, covering its body in shadows. Soon Zakajz's body was erased, leaving nothing left. "Ye did it! The cultists ha'e run off! Ha ha! Ye should get back ta Faol. I'll use this Twilight portal stone fer ye!" Slaghammer called out as he ran up to Vahrazlyphii, who turned to look at the shadowlord.
Slaghammer held up a stone, which shattered before a twilight portal appeared before them. "Keep an eye on that blade, though. No tellin' wha' somethin' that old be capable of". Slaghammer warned the daughter of the Prophet, who nodded to him as she placed Xal'atath on her left waist.
'Pay no attention to this fool. Come; let us join the battle against the fallen titan's minions. I'm interested in your comrades, especially that friend of yours called Keirrastia'. Xal'atath whispered to Vahrazlyphii, who shook her head to drown out the blade's voice and stepped into the portal, teleporting back to Dalaran.
(With Makuskar)
In Deepholm, in the Crumbling Depths, Thrall, Stormcaller Mylra and the fel lord Geth'xun stared in awe at the sight before them. Standing atop the rock that the Doomhammer was stunk to, Makuskar held up the legendary hammer with his right hand, while flames gathered around his left, forming a copy of the Doomhammer in his hand, only made of pure fire.
After leaving the Chamber of the Guardian, Makuskar found his old friends, Thrall and Aggra, and their son Durak in Dalaran. No time for a good reason because Thrall told his old friend that the Earthen Ring have called for an emergency meeting in the Maelstrom. They even requested Makuskar to join the meeting.
Makuskar hurried to Krasus' Landing, where a Dwarf Shaman named Stormcaller Mylra was waiting for him on an armored gryphon. The two took off together to the Maelstrom, where the shamans of the world were gathered. Upon arriving, Makuskar found Thrall in a conversation with a Broken Draenei.
The Draeni's name was Farseer Nobundo. The broken tasked Makuskar to help the other Shamans, who were injured from being hunted by the Legion. First, Makuskar helped with the Maelstrom Pillar, before he went to heal a gryphon named Screech. Finally, Makuskar helped set campfire on fire for a struggling Troll Shaman.
Right after helping all the Shamans, a Legion attack force appeared and attacked. Leading them was a fel lord named Geth'xun. Thrall engaged the demon in battle, while Makuskar dealt with the Infernals. During his battle against Geth'xun, Thrall was quickly beginning to loose ground against Geth'xun, the spirits did not aid him.
With all the Shamans gathered, they focused their powers into the Pillar. Makuskar jumped atop the pillar, absorbing everyone's' powers, before blasting Geth'xun into the Maelstrom, saving Thrall's and every Shaman's lives. However, during his battle against the fel lord, Thrall lost the Doomhammer, which was sent deep into the Maelstrom.
With the fel lord gone, Makuskar rushed to his friend, helping him up. The two old friends discussed about Thrall and how much has changed since Draenor. Thrall named his friend the new leader of the Earthen Ring, knowing that Makuskar will lead them to victory against the Legion.
The two orcs decided to retrieve the Doomhammer, knowing that it will be useful against the Legion. Together, with Stormcaller Mylra, they all travelled into the Maelstrom to retrieve the Doomhammer. Upon arriving, Thrall left to speak with the Shaman at the Temple of Earth.
Mylra went to Stoneheart, while Makuskar went to find the Stonemother. The orc's search didn't take long as he found her with other Earth Elements. Therazane agreed to help Makuskar find the Doomhammer if he helped her first. The Stonemother had Makuskar take care of a few Felrock Troggs, free captured stone drakes and reassemble opalescent guardians and escort to Aeosera to help protect her eggs.
It took a bit of time, but Makuskar accomplished the Stonemother's requests. Therazane told the Orc that the Felrock Troggs' leader saw where the Doomhammer landed and told the Geth'xun where it was. In order to know where it was, Makuskar searched for the Felrock Troggs' leader, named Borlock, beat him to a pulp and learn where the Doomhammer is.
Aeosera gave Makuskar a ride to where Borlock is, who gave him a beating and learned where the Doomhammer is. The Doomhammer was in the Crumbling Depths. Hurrying back to the Stonemother, Makuskar found Thrall and Mylra already there. They learned nothing on Doomhammer's whereabouts, but Makuskar told them that he learned where it is located.
Thereazane created a portal for the three Shaman, wishing them luck in retrieving the Doomhammer. Upon arriving in the Crumbling Depths, Makuskar and Mylra protected Thrall as they advanced further, before they found the Doomhammer. Only Geth'xun was there as well, preventing them from just taking the hammer and leave.
Thrall was too injured to battle, so Mylra distracted Geth'xun while Makuskar grabbed the Doomhammer. Which now lead to here, Makuskar holding up the Doomhammer with his right hand and holding a flaming copy of it with his left. "You got it! Off!" Mylra exclaimed, before Geth'xun knocked her down.
"Pathetic puny shaman! That hammer did little to help its last master!" Geth'xun mocked with a smirk as he began to stomp over to Makuskar. "Things will be different this time, demon! Come taste the wrath of the Doomhammer! For Azeroth!" Makuskar roared out as he charged at Geth'xun.
Geth'xun swung his axe at Makuskar, who swung the doomhamer. The two weapons clashed, but Geth'xun's weapon was pushed back, allowing Makuskar to slam his flaming hammer against the fel lord's leg, making him cry out in pain. "I will bring down this whole cavern!" Geth'xun roared out as fel energy began to gather around his left hand.
Fel skipes erupted out of the ground, trying to impale Makuskar. However, the shaman transformed into his Ghost Wolf form and began to leap around, dodging the fel spikes. The Ghost Form Makuskar leaped towards Geth'xun, returning to his Orc form and slamming the Doomhammer against the fel lord's face, knocking some teeth out.
Makuskar landed on the ground, rolling on his back to get back on his feet, while Geth'xun collapsed to his right knee, spitting out fel blood. "You little…! I will corrupt your world from within!" Geth'xun growled out in rage as he forced himself back to his feet. "The whole of Azeroth will rise against you, demon". Thrall said as he walked forward, getting Makuskar to look over his shoulder at his old friend.
"Thrall…!" Makuskar exclaimed in surprise at his friend's actions. Thrall smiled at his old friend, before glaring at Geth'xun. "The very earth beneath your feet and the skies above your head will lash out against your damn crusade!" Thrall exclaimed as lightning began to gather around his hands, before he unleashed the lighting at the fel spikes, destroying them.
"Thank you old friend. Now, to finish this!" Makuskar roared out as he held up the Doomhammer to the sky. Two lightning strikes came down, striking the ground before clearing to reveal two spirit wolfs, who lunged at Geth'xun. The two worlds bite onto Geth'xun's neck, making him roar out in pain before he threw them off.
The two spirit worlds landed on their feet, before they began running around Geth'xun, who tried to smash them with his axe, but kept missing. "Hey demon, other here!" Makuskar roared out as he began running towards the fel lord, before he jumped high into the air. Geth'xun turned around, before he swung his axe at the shaman.
Makuskar swung both his hammers down on Geth'xun's axe, smashing them against the bit of it. A loud shockwave was created when the weapons clashed against each other, before Geth'xun's axe shattered into pieces, making the fel lord widen his eyes in shock. "This is retribution for harming my friend!" Makuskar roared out as he swung his hammers down on Geth'xun's head. "…There are others… we are… Legion…" Geth'xun spoke his last words as the force of the two Doomhammers forced him down.
Makuskar smashed Geth'xun's head down to the ground, brining him down to the ground and smashing his head, killing the fel lord instantly. "And we'll bring them down as we did you". Geth'xun told the dead fel lord as the flaming Doomhammer in his hand disappeared.
Makuskar and Thrall ran over to Mylra, who was gasping for air, badly injured from her fight against Geth'xun. "…I think I'm done, shaman… It's the end of the tunnel for me…" Mylra said as she layed her head down on the ground, thinking she wouldn't make it. "Your time hasn't come yet, Mylra". Makuskar told the Dwarf as water appeared and daced around his hands, before wrapping around Mylra's body.
The water healed Mylra's injures, before they disappeared with Mylra getting back on her feet. "Thank ye…" Mylra thanked Makuskar, who nodded to her before he looked at Thrall, who gave his friend a proud smile. "The Doomhammer chose you, Makuskar. Already you wield it with a power that I never tapped into". Thrall began, making Makuskar smirk at his friend's word, before he looked at the Doomhammer in his right hand.
"I must go my own way. I have a great deal of thinking to do. Aggra will be at the Maelstorm shortly. Listen to her counsel… she has taught me well". Thrall advised Makuskar, who gave his friend a frown, before he nodded to him. "I understand, so I won't attempt to change your mind from taking this journey. I promise that I will use the Doomhamer to protect Azeroth, not just from the Legion, but from any threats that threaten our home. I hope you find the answers you seek, old friend". Makuskar promised his friend, holding up his right fist for a fist pump.
Thrall smirked at his friend as he held up his left fist, before he pressed it against Makuskar's right fist, giving him a fist pump. "Go back to the Earthen Ring. Bring them together. Turn their might against the Legion. This is your time, Makuskar". Thrall told his friend, who gave him a sharp nod. "I will, Go'el. Travel safe". Makuskar replied to his friend as the two orcs pulled their fists back.
Mylra's Gryphorn landed next to the Dwarf, getting her and Makuskar's attention before they mounted it, with the Orc sitting behind the Dwarf. "Farewell, Go'el". Makuskar bid his friend goodbye, before Stormbeak began to flew out of the cave, leaving Thrall to watch with a smile.
(Meanwhile with Illthiel)
In the land of Karazhan, in the Dark Rider's secret base, Karazhan Catacombs, Illthiel stood over the dead body of the Dark Rider, Ariden, holding up the Scythe of Elune with his right hand.
After separating from the other champions in Dalaran, Illthiel was approached by a Tauren named Arch Druid Hammul Runetotem, who told the young Druid that his presence was request at Moonglade at once. Illthiel understood and teleported to Moonglade straight away with Hammul, arriving in Nighthaven.
Hammul explained to Illthiel that the druids have found a Dreamway that could take them to the Emerald Dream, even take them to distant places in Azeroth, even Val'Sharah itself. Illthiel's father, Malfurion was preparing a ritual to open the portal, but needed the aid of more Druids to open the gateway.
Hammul sent Illthiel to find a female Troll named Zen'tabra and a Night Elf named Naralex. The son of the Archdruid did his task and found the two Druids, sending them off to help open the gate to the Emerald Dream. Illthiel went to tell Hammul that Zen'tabra and Naralex would join the ritual, before they both went off to join the ritual themselves.
Upon arriving at the Stormrage Barrow Dens, Malfurion greeted his son warmly, who was happy to see his father. With all the Druids together, they combined their powers and opened a stable portal into the Emerald Dream. Malfurion praised his son for his aid, before telling him that he cannot join him in the Emerald Dream, having to stay to protect Moonglade from the Legion.
Although upset at first, Illthiel understood and promised his father that he will protect Azeroth. However, before he could join the Druid in the Emerald Dream, Malfurion told his son that he needed to work with his cousin, Denasar to defeat the Legion. Illthiel growled at the mention of Denasar's name, but nodded to his father and entered the Emerald Dream.
However, a very nasty surprise awaited the Druids in the Emerald Dream. The Nightmare has spread in the Emerald Dream and was threatening all the Druids there. Keeper Remulos told Illthiel to find the source of the Nightmare, while he worked on cleansing it from the Emerald Dream.
Illthiel went forth, battling creatures of the Nightmare, until he found the source. A creature called 'Putred Giant' was the source, so Illthiel battled and defeated it, freeing the dream of the Nightmare for now. With the Putred Giant out of the way, Keeper Remulos guided Illthiel to the Dreamgrove, sanctuary for all Druids. Together, Illthiel and Remulos searched for the Druids of Val'sharah to seek their aid against the Burning Legion. Together, they found Arch Druid Greathoof.
Greathoof and Remulos greeted each other as old friends, with the Arch Druid greeting Illthiel as well, knowing him as the son of Malfurion, Cenarius' favourite student. In the end, Greathhoof agreed to aid them in the fight against the Burning Legion, the Dreamgrove would be their base of operation.
Greathoof asked Illthiel on what ancient artifact that he would need to use against the Legion, but before the son of Malfurion could answer, Naralex appeared and requested to talk with Illthiel. Naralex told Illthiel that his adopted mother, Tyrande has authorized the release of the great artifact, the Scythe of Elune to aid them in their cause and has chosen her adopted son to wield it.
Although he was in disbelief to be chosen to wield the legendary artifact, Illthiel accepted and travelled to Duskwood and meet Valon Stillbough. The Night Elf carried with him the Scythe of Elune, presenting the weapon to the High Priestess' second son. However, before Illthiel could even touch the scythe, a Dark Rider named Ariden appeared out of nowhere, killed Valon, stole the scythe and escaped.
Angered, but sad for the lost of his fellow Night Elf, Illthiel helped comfort Belysra Starbreeze, a Priestess for the lose of Valon. Belysra told Illthiel that he needed to travel to Manor Mistmantle to find the Scythe and get revenge for Valon. Illthiel listened to Belysra's words and took off to Manor Mistmantle, where he found a human named Revil Kost.
Revil had figured out that the Scythe of Elune has returned, and so have the Dark Riders. Revil agreed to aid Illthiel in retrieving the scythe, but in order to do that, they needed to find the Dark Rider's lair. They agreed to travel to Ariden's Camp in Deadwing Pass, but Dark Riders tried to stop them and failed. Together, Illthiel and Revil travelled to Ariden's Camp, with the human telling the son of Malfurion the Dark Riders' history.
Upon arriving, the two heard Ariden's voice from somewhere in the canyon, warning them to turn back, but the two paid no attention to him and searched the camp for a clue to the Dark Rider's lair. Even as they kept searching, Ariden kept warning them to turn back, but they paid no heed to his words.
Illthiel found a journal, but before he could touch it, he was blasted away by dark magic. Illthiel tried again and managed to hold the journal, before he searched through it. He learned that the Nightbane worgen were drawn to the Scythe of Elune, which could help them find it. Illthiel and Revil split up to follow the Nightbane, hopefully leading them to the Dark Rider's lair.
Illthiel followed a pack of Nightbane worgen, which lead him to Karazhan Catacombs, where he met up with Revil. The two journeyed into Karazhan Catacombs, battling Undead, Dark Riders and spirits. Ariden tried to stop them, but failed, but escaped alive. Soon, they found the Scythe of Elune in a storage room where the Dark Riders keep their Artifacts.
However, before Illthiel could take hold of it, he was blasted away with Ariden reappearing, taking the Scythe and taking off. Ariden harmed Revil, leaving Illthiel alone to chase after him. Soon the son of Malfurion found the Dark Rider leader and battled him. During the battle, the Scythe of Elune began to overpower Ariden, turning him into a worgen.
However, Ariden was still no match for Illthiel and fell in battle, releasing the Scythe of Elune. The Scythe of Elune floated in front of Illthiel with moonlight shining down on it, as if Elune herself was telling the son of Malfurion to take up the scythe. Illthiel took the scythe without question and held up the scythe, feeling proud of himself for avenging his fellow Night Elf and retrieving the Scythe.
'Valon, rest in peace knowing that the scythe has been retrieved'. Illthiel thought to himself, staring up at the moon above. "It is done. The Dark Riders are defeated". Revil stated as he ran up next to Illthiel, who faced the human. "You have my thanks for aiding me in retrieving the scythe, Revil". Illthiel thanked the human for his aid, looking at the scythe with a smile.
"It was an honor. Now I can reclaim these stolen artifacts and return them to their rightful owners. You have proven an unexpected ally, Illthiel. The weapon is yours. Let us hope it can turn the tide in this war". Revil said to Illthiel, who nodded to him. "What of the Dark Riders?" Illthiel questioned, wondering what the Dark Riders will do now.
"The Dark Riders lost this battle, but I fear they will soon regroup. We had best be gone before they do". Revil stated, turning to look back at the open doorway, which Illthiel nodded to him. "Agreed". Illthiel said in agreement, strapping the scythe to his back.
"Today was a great blow against the Dark Riders, and a victory for the people of Duskwood. They are in your debt, as am I". Revil told Illthiel, who shook his head. "No, I am in your debt. If it wasn't foe your aid, I would have never reclaimed the scythe". Illthiel replied to the human, who smiled at his words.
"Your assistance against the Dark Riders has proven a great service to the Light. Though our beliefs may separate us, I know that we share one goal. You have allowed me to fill my purpose in returning these artifacts to their rightful owners, and for this I am thankful. As for the Scythe of Elune, I can think of no safer place than in your care. May it serve you well against the Legion, Illthiel". Revil told Illthiel, who nodded in thanks.
"Farewell, Revil Kost. I hope we cross paths again someday". Illthiel said to the Priest, before he knelt down as a green druid circle appeared around him with moonlight shining down on him. Illthiel then disappeared, returning back to the Emerald Dreamway.
(Back with Denasar)
'I hope they are all right. Only together, can we hope to defeat the Legion'. Denasar thought to himself as he trapped the Twinblades to his back. "The Legion won't soon forget this day". A familiar voice stated, causing Denasar to look above to see Altrius riding on a fel bat, flying down to him with a red fel bat.
"We've rid the skies of the worst of them. We should have a clear shot to Dalaran from here". Altrius told his comrade as the two fel bats landed in front of the son of the Betrayer. "Well done, Altrius". Denasar praised his comrade as he walked up to the red fel bat, before he stopped and looked down at the ground.
'Illysanna, Lyanna, your deaths won't be in vain. I will end the Burning Legion'. Denasar thought to himself with narrowed eyes, swearing to his Illidari sisters that he will complete the mission. Denasar then mounted the red fel bat, which took flight. Altrius followed after Denasar on his fel bat.
The flight took a bit of time back to Dalaran. However, soon they were closing in, but Altrius had his fel bat flew down to a nearby floating island next to Dalaran. "Denasar! You're alive!" Kor'vas cried out in joy, getting Denasar to see her, along with Asha and Belath riding on Fel Sabers towards him.
The red fel bat landed on Krasus' Landing, allowing Denasar off. Stopping a short distance away from the son of the Betrayer, kor'vas dismounted her Fel Saber and ran towards her husband, wrapping her arms around him. "Thank goodness you're alright". Kor'vas said in relief to see her husband alive. "The Twinblades are even more impressive in person". Asha commented as she and Belath dismounted their Fel Sabers, staring at the Twinblades in awe.
"What of the others? Did they…?" Kor'vas began, only for Denasar to shook his head, giving his mate her answer. "I see. They gave their lives for a worthy case – the Twinblades will change the tide of this war, mark my words". Kor'vas stated as she stepped away from her husband, who nodded to her.
Kor'vas glances at the Twinblades on Denasar's back, her eyes widening. "I'm excited to see what those can do in person! Maybe we can spar a bit before heading out on the next hunt?" Kor'vas suggested to her mate, who smirked. "Why not. It's been so long since spared against each other". Denasar replied to Kor'vas, wanting to try out the Twinblades as soon as possible himself.
"While you were gone we built a camp just off of this landing to help us watch over the Legion's movments. Weshould head there right away – Jace needed your help with something. It sounded big!" Kor'vas told her husband, immediately getting his full attention at hearing his Illidari brother needed his help.
"Very well. Let us go!" Denasar told his three comrades, making Kor'vas smirk. "I think you'll enjoy the view, Denasar. Let's go!" Kor'vas exclaimed as the four demon hunters ran to the edge of Keasus' Landing and jumped off. Then, wings came out of the four demon hunters' backs, allowing them to glide down to the Illidari Redoubt.
"I see your hunt was a success! I had no doubt it would be, of course". Jace remarked as Denasar landed next to him, with a Legion communicator next to him, only it showed Matron Mother Malevolence. Denasar looked around to see his fellow demon hunters, along with a Wwrath Warrior and fel imps imprisoned.
"I have exciting news to share with you, Denasar". Jace told his comrade with excitement in his voice, getting Denasar's attention. "What is it?" Denasar asked his fellow Night Elf, wondering what it is that got him so excited.
"I was able to make contact with our forces on Mardum – they secured the Fel Hammer after our departure all those years ago and have held it ever since! Malevolence has utilized the ship's warm systems to transport the bulk of our forces aboard, but doing so greatly taxes what little power remains. I believe there to be a better way. Your glaives carry a piece of the power of Kil'jaeden - you should be able to use them to open a permanent gateway to the Fel Hammer". Jace explained to his comrade, who started to like what he was hearing by the second.
"You are right, Jace. This is good exciting news. Let it be done". Denasar said as he walked forward, before stopping in front of the trapped demons. "These demons' souls will power the gateway. On your mark". Jace told Denasar, who nodded to him before he faced the soon to be gateway.
"Slay them!" Denasar ordered his Illidari, who obeyed his command. "Your souls are forfeit!" Kor'vas exclaimed as she transformed and unleashed her eye beam at the fel imps, while Belath transformed into the Vengence demon form, swiping his claws at the Wrath Warrior, ending its life.
The demons' souls were transferred over to the gateway, powering it up. "Ready when hyou are". Malovelence stated from the compunicator. Denasar walked up to the gateway, before he moved very fast like he does when he uses Blade Dance. The gateway unleashed a green wave, pushing Denasar back as the Illidari symbol appeared, while the gateway came to life.
"There we are! Lovely work as always, Denasar". Malovelence praised Denasar, smirked at her words, before he turned to face Jace. "I look forward to joining the rest of our forces". Jace stated, making Denasar nod to him in agreement. "So do I, Jace. This is a major step towards destroying the Legion". Denasar told his Illidari brother, holding up his right fist.
"The gateway is fully functinal, Denasar. Ooh, I am positively tingling in excitement. Do let Jace and the others know that we eagerly await your arrival. There's so much to do and ever so little time. You will be joining us aboard, won't you?" Malevolence questioned the son of the Betrayer, who nodded to her.
Denasar turned to face Kor'vas, who nodded to him. "Illidari! The gateway is open. To the Fel Hammer!" Kor'vas cried out as all the demon hunters began to enter the gateway. "Come Denasar". Kor'vas said to her husband, who nodded to her before they both entered the gatewat, returning to Mardum.
(At the Fel Hammer)
Denasar and his Illidari brothers and sisters appeared just outside the Fle Hammer's entrance with Malevolence there to welcome them. "It's been far too long, Denasar. Far too long!" Malevolence greeted Denasar as the Illidari entered the Fel Hammer. "It is good to see you again, Malevolence". Denasar greeted his Shivarra ally as he walked into the Fle Hammer, where Jace, Allari, Kor'vas, Kayn, Izal and Altrius awaited him. "Welcome to the Fel Hammer, Denasar". Altrius welcomed his comrade as Denasar walked up next to him. Denasar looked up above him and saw something that made him smirk.
Hanging stop a chain was the corpse of the Brood Queen Tyranna. "Nice decoration". Denasar stated, before looking back at Altrius. "This place is built for war – It's exactly what we need to level the playing field". Altrius told his comrade, which Denasar nodded in agreement.
"Although our forces have dutifully held this ciadel since your depature, we have been unable to access most of its resources – The Fel Hammer can only be fully activated by those bearing the mark of a Legion lord. Thankfully, your blades carry that very mark. Use them to activate the Fel Hammer – show your forces your limitless power!" Altrius explained to the son of the Betrayer, who smirked.
"Gladly". Denasar replied to Altrius as he walked up to the Control Console. "Whenever you're ready". Altrius told his comrade as Denasar drew the twin blades, holding them up as a green fel magic circled appeared around him, before it dissapeared. A huge shockwave was felt as the Fel Hammer was activated with Fel fire circling around.
"This way, your forces await". Altrius said as he jumped over the Control Console towards the main deck. "The Fel Hammer is ours at last. Gaze upon the might of the Twinblades of the Deciver!" Altrius exclaimed as Denasar jumped after him with the Illidari gathering around them.
Then the table in the middle of the upper levels came to life, releasing fle energy as images of Azeroth and three other worlds appeared. Then out of nowhere, the Ashtongue lead by Battlelord Gaardoun appeared. "The Ashtongue will fight beside you!" The Battlelord swore to Denasar, giving a short bow.
The Coilskar lead by Lady S'theno appeared on the right side. "You may call upon the Coilskar as well". Lady S'theno stated, giving Denasar a short bow as well. Then, the Shivarra lead by Matron Mother Malevolence appeared. "Our mission is not yet complete. We are all yours to comand". Malecolence told Denasar, who nodded to her.
"We will follow Denasar into battle, and we will strike down the Legion once and for all! Glory to the Illidari!" Altrius roared out as everyone roared out in agreement. Denasar smirked at seeing his forces eager to battle the Legion. 'Father, we'll retrieve your body soon, and together, we'll strike down the Legion!' Denasar thought to himself with narrowed eyes, his hands turning to fists. "The Fel Hammer is ours. Nicely done". Altrius praised his comrade, who faced him and gave a sharp nod.
(Later that night)
In Krasus' Landing, Denasar stood with his back against the wall as he awaited for his comrades to appear. After gathering his forces at the Fel Hammer, Battlelord Gaardoun lead Denasar down to the lower levels, telling him of the battle after the demon hunters left Mardoum 10 years ago. Gaardoun told Denasar that they found a Nathrezim Forge and kept it. Denasar used the forge to power the twinblade.
After powering the Twinblades, Allari and Jace showed Denasar the Nether Crucible. The nether crucible showed Denasar the Legion's forces in Azeroth. Denasar looked into the crucible and saw the Legion's primart gateway, the Tomb of Sargeras The Broken Shore was already under the Legion's control, meaning it would be suicide to attack there.
Allari told Denasar that Altrius wished to plan their attack and that his leadership was needed. Denasar returned to the upperlevels, where he discussed with Altrius. However, before they could decide on what part of the Broken Isles to attack first, Denasar told Altrius that they needed to work with their allies and that they had to attack together.
Altrius understood Denasar and asked him how they'll contact the other champions of the Alliance and Horde. Denasar told his comrade that when he was with them, they'd agree to meet back in Dalaran when the moon in the sky. Kayn, listening in, agreed with Denasar and suggested that they work with the other champions, having recived word that they all accured artifact weapons.
The three decied that working with the champions of the Alliance and the Horde was their best course of action. So, Denasar left the Fel Hammer and returned to Dalaran, where he awaited the other champions.
"I'm not late, am I?" Xandreni asked as she walked up to her comrade, which Denasar shook his head in response. "No, you've arrived just in time". Denasar replied to Blood Elf princess, before he noticed Felo'melorn strapped to her waist. "I see you've retrived your family's runeblade". Denasar stated, eyeing the runeblade.
Xandreni smiled as she drew Felo'melorn. "I found Felo'melorn in Icecrown. The new Lich King allowed me to take back my familiy's blade after defeating his survant Lyandra Sunstrider". Xandreni told her friend as she gave a few practice swings, her blade leaving a bit of fire from the swings.
"Sunstrider?" Denasar questioned as Xandreni stopped her swinging. "She was a distant relative of mine, but she became a mindless servant. I released from that torment and retrieved my family's blade". Xandreni explained to her friend as she strapped Felo'melorn to her waist.
"It must have been hard, having to kill your own relative". Keirrastia commented as she walked up to her two comrades, getting their attention. "Keirrastia. I see you've returned from your quest. Did you find your mother?" Denasar asked the Void Elf, who shook her head.
"My mother somehow escaped from the Legion, but she left our family's legacy bow, Thas'dorah". Keirrastia answered the demon hunter as she unstrapped Thas'dorah and held it up to show the Night Elf and Blood Elf. "Thas'dorah. I thought the bow was lost when your mother Alleria travelled to Draenor. Finally, the bow returns to Azeroth in the hands of a Windrunner". Xandreni commented, looking proud of Keirrastia for retrieving the bow.
"It is good to see that you're all alive!" A familiar voice called out, getting the three elves to look to see Marken walking up to them, but he had someone by his side. It was a half elf Paladin with blond hair and blue eyes. "Arator". Keirrastia said with a smile as the half elf smiled at her as he walked up to her.
"Hello sister". Arator greeted his older sister as the two siblings hugged each other, before he took notice of Thas'dorah. "Mother's bow. This is my first seeing it". Arator stated as he and Keirrastia broke their hug. "Mother left it for us in a Legion world. Aunt Vereesa and I travelled there to find mother, but all we found was Thas'dorah. However, we learned that mother escaped and is still out there fighting the Legion". Keirrastia explained to her younger brother, who smiled at her words.
"If she is alive, then father must be alive as well". Arator said with a relieved smile on his face. "We'll see our parents again soon Arator, but for now we must defend Azeroth from the Legion". Keirrastia told the Paladin, which he nodded to her.
"Marken, I see you've recovered the Ashbringer". Xandreni stated, noticing the highblade strapped to the Paladin's back, making Marken smirk as he drew the Ashbringer. "The Ashbringer will aid us in sending the Legion back to Argus!" Marken exclaimed, holding up the highblade.
"That be wrong, mon. We not be sending de Legion back, we be destroying them". Gortkaluz remarked as he walked up to the group of champions, holding the Scepter of Sargeras with his left hand. "That sceptre is the Scepter of Sargeras, correct? I must admit that I'm impressed that you can wield it". Denasar said with an impressed look on his face, knowing much about the Scepter of Sargeras.
"Looks like you all came back alive". Alcouris said as he appeared out of nowhere, having been blending in the shadows. "Nice to see that you're still… undead". Xandreni greeted the rouge, making everyone chuckle a bit from her words. "I see you have some new knifes". Keirrastia remarked, noticing the Dreadblades on the Forskaen's waist.
"So you swapped two old knifes with two new knifes, huh?" Regues questioned as he ran up to the group on both his claws and feet with the Warswords of Valour on his back, making Alcouris glare at him. "Watch it, dog". Alcouris replied to the worgen, who growled at him. "That's enough you two!" Vahrazlyphii snapped at the two as she joined the group of champions.
"Vahrazlyphii, good to see that you're in one piece. I see you've acquired your own artifact". Denasar greeted the daughter of the Prophet, noticing Xal'atath on her waist. 'So these are your comrades? They all seem powerful in their own ways, but compared to you, they're nothing'. Xal'atath whispered to Vahrazlyphii, who ignored the blade's words.
"Almost all of us are here. Where are the others?" The Shadow Priest asked her comrades, wondering where the rest of the champions are. "I apolgise that I'm late. I had something to take care off!" Makuskar apologized as he ran up to the group, taking deep breaths.
"De Doomhamer". Gortkaluz said, noticing the hammer on the Orc's waist. "The Doomhammer has chosen me as its new wielder, and I am honored it chose me". Makuskar told the warlock, holding up the Doomhammer with a proud smile.
"So, all of you succeded in acquring artifacts. I must admit that's impressive". Deathsword stated as he walked up to the group, with everyone noticing the twin swords strapped to his waist. "Those swords… they give off the same presence as Frostmourne". Denasar commented as he crossed his arms, making Deathsword smirk.
"What's the matter, demon hunter. Afraid of the Blades of the Fallen prince?" Deathsword questioned with a smirk as he drew the twin swords. Denasar drew the twinblades in response. "I fear nothing. Your blades are nothing compared to my glaives". Denasar reesponsed to the Death Knight, who narrowed his eyes at him.
"Nice to see that you two are getting along". Illthiel remarked as he joined the group, getting Denasar's attention as he noticed the Scythe of Elune on his back. "The Scythe of Elune. Is it wise for you to wield that weapon?" Denasar questioned the druid, who drew the scythe and held it up.
"My… our mother authorized the use of the scythe. I'm the only one who can wield it". Illthiel replied to the demon hunter, who placed the twinblades back on his back. "I see. I'll turst mother's trust in you". Denasar said to Illthiel, deciding to trust in his mother for allowing the scythe to be used by the druid.
"Now that we're all here and seen that we've all acquired an artifact, what is our next course of action?" Marken asked his fellow champions, getting straight to the point with everyone's attention on him. "We could use a leader?" Alcouris suggested to the group of champions.
"I agree. We need someone to lead us against these demons". Regues said in agreement witj the Rouge. "But the question is who should be the leader?" Deathsword stated, wondering who will take the mantle of leader of the champions of the Horde and Alliance. "I sguuest we have Denasar as our leader". Xandreni suggested, making everyone look at her with wide eyes, including Denasar. "Me?" Denasar questioned in surprise that Xandreni wanted him as the leader.
"He be a demon hunter, plus he was not there in the compaign against the Lich King, Deathswing, Pandaria and in Dreanor". Gortkaluz stated, not liking the idea of someone new leading them. "Because he was sealed away for 10 years. If he wasn't sealed away, he would have helped us. I once served Illidan, so I know Denasar. I'm confident in saying that out of all of us, he's the strongest, not to mention oldest". Xandreni told the Warlock, making Denasar growl.
"Did you have to bring up my age?" Denasar grumbled in anger, crossing his arms and turning away. "Our compaign in Outland was a mistake. Lord Illidan and the Illidari were not our enemies, they were fighting the Burning Legion to protect Azeroth. We were decived and did a favour for the Legion by aiding Maiev and Akama in defeating Illidan. Out of all of us, they took the threat of the Legion seriously and did everything they could to stop them. I ask that you put your trust in Denasar, just as I have". Xandreni told her comrades, who were silenced by her words.
"I… believe lady Xandreni is right. Out of all of us, Denasar knows more about the Legion than all of us. Perhaps it would be wise for him to lead us into battle". Keirrastia commented, agreeing with Xandreni's reasons for Denasar to lead them. "Perhaps that would be the best choice. I've learned much about Denasar and learned that he is a hero of the Night Elfs". Illthiel said, getting a surprised look from Denasar that he of all people agreed with him being leader.
"I've seen first hand his strength myself and agree that he is the most powerful of us. Very well. Denasar, you will lead us to battle against the Legion". Marken told the demon hunter, who nodded to him. "Alright, I'll do my best to lead you all. But remember, we must all work together to defeat the Legion". Denasar told the group of champions, who nodded to him.
"Well, what Pillar of Creation should we go after first?" Deathsword questioned the demon hunter with his arms crossed, who face the Death Knight. "I believe I know one of the Pillars of Creation and where it is. Our best option right now is to travel to Val'sharah!" Denasar explained to the group of champions, getting them curious.
"Why Val'sharah? Is it because you're a Night Elf?" Makuskar questioned the demon hunter, wondering why he wants them to start there. "No, that is not the reason. Val'sharah is the place where I born. I know Val'sharah like no other, so it would be wise to travel in familiar ground first". Denasar questioned to the shaman, who looked down in thought.
"Perhaps that would be wise. Let us rest for the night and tomorrow, we shall travel to Val'sharah". Keirrastia told the group of champions, who nodded to her, deciding to trust their new leader. "Let us go rest for tonight. We have earned it". Vahrazlyphii stated as she began walking away to return to her Order Hall.
"Rest well, little brother. We need all our strength and spirit to defeat the Legion". Keirrastia told her younger brother, who nodded to her. "You as well, sister. May the Light protect you". Arator bid his sister farewell as he and Marken began to leave. "Rest well, my comrades. For it will be the last time we rest until this war is over". Denasar told his comrades as he jumped over to the edge and glided down to the Illidari Redoubt to return to the Fel Hammer.
The rest of the champions bid farewell to each other and returned to their order halls to rest for the night. Tomorrow is the day the war against the Legion officially begins.
And done! By far, this has been my longest chapter. Next chapter will probably be even bigger than this one, so please be fine with this long one. Also, I ask that you do reviews to express how you feel about this story, not to have an argument. Also, when I reached Battle for Azeroth, I'd gonna aid Allied Races' champions, except for Highmountain Tauren, Mechagnomes and Void Elf. The Void Elfs because they already have one. Also could you guys tell me about Heroes of the Storm. I'm thinking of doing a side story where the champions travel to different dimensions and I'd like help with it.
I'll do my best on my next chapter and other stories. See you all later.
