Phenex let out a deep breath, she did not realise, she was holding. The screams of her fellow humans, even though they were a part of the Alliance, made her wince a little. The shocked and sad looks on the faces of the people she is supposed to call friends, maybe even family, made a shiver go down her spine. With wide eyes, she slaughterd one after the other, sometimes shooting at their recourses with the flare gun she was given, letting the people around lit up in fire, blood splattering on her fast figure. The screams of those Soliders kept echoing in her mind, in her head, making her feel like she was going crazy. Those people she was just killing, they are those she should have called friends, companions or even a family. What if one of them was her Mother? Her Father? Or maybe a silbling of her? Would she ever know? No.. she hasn't even known these people's Names, she never would, and after all, she didn't even know her own Name.
She honestly prefered the way she killed them before, staying at a gun, way to high up to hear their screams, to look in their frightned eyes.
The girl felt tears welling up behing her eyes, she squinted a couple of times, in hopes that the tears wouldn't get out, to make herself look like she didn't care about murdering others.. it did not work, a tear started flowing down her left cheek, and it didn't stop anymore, they silently flew down her cheeks, while the Girl kept shedding the blood of many more.
The blood splattered on her face, mixing itself with her tears, her clothes and of course, her two daggers. *I'm sorry..* she thought, after every single life she took.
Phenex swept her tears out of her face and entered the hall, where General Nazgrim and the other members of the Horde were fighting some other Alliance Soliders. The Horde was winning, but something in Phenex's chest told her, that something was off.
As soon as the human girl entered the hall, Nazgrim had his eyes upon her bloody figure, while she walked completely normal, so he knew it was not her bood but the blood of the Alliance. A grin laid itself on his lips, as she walked past the dying Soliders, outwardly not giving a shit about their death, not caring about the lives she just took away. A deep laugh escaped the Generals lips, "Good work, brat. I'm starting to like you.", the Orc grins. Phenex only tilted her head, not knowing if the Orc was joking or if he actually meant it. The Orc's grin faded, and he continiued to talk. "We've learned that their captain has barricaded himself in above us. The coward allowed his forces to die while he hid from our fury!", Nazgrim started, "Typical Alliance! No matter.", the Orc scoffed, "I will scale the walls with my marines while you lead a frontal assault up the ramps. Use your flare gun on munitions near the barricades to blast your way through.", He commanded, to which Phenex nodded and saluted, making her way over corpses to the first barricade.
The Girl destroyed baricade after baricade and Solider after Solider, clearing her way up. When she finally reached the top, she found Kor'kon waiting at the stairs, sending her a brief nod and then looking back at the Alliance's Captian. Phenex walked forward to the Captian, who starerd at her with wide eyes as he saw the Orcs behind her. "Who are you?" He asked her, frowning as she did not asnwer, but instead get closer and closer to him. Phenex stared into his eyes, not loosing her focus no matter what happened. She looked like a predator, staring at her victim. Doren, the Captian, took a step back, then another one, and another one. Panic was written all over his face, as the girl focused her daggers on him, ready to attack him, ready to slice his head of. "You scum will NOT destroy this land as you defiled Kalimdor!" The Captian shouted, jumping of the railing ot the Temple like halls.
Nazgrim, held Phenex back, so she would not jump after the Captian. "You're too importand." He silently whispered, so that only she could hear, the girl replied with a frown.
Phenex's head shot up, as she heard the sound of a shooting cannon. Her, and the others eyes, widened, when they realised that Hellscream's Fist was beeing destroyed by the Alliance. "What is- NO! They had an airbase, a hidden airbase! my ship - my..", Nazgrim's face paled more with every passing second, "Hellscream will have my head!" Phenex looked at the Orc, with a pitying look, she actually felt bad for him. As she stepped closer to him, the entire colour drains from Nazgrim's whole figure, and his body begins to excude a mysterious dark energy. The girl jumped back immediately, hissing at the magic, she has never seen before. "They all must die." A wierd dark voice echoed through the General's body, making Phenex stiffen and hold her daggers in a defensive form in front of her chest.
Suddenly, a wierd bear-like thing sprinted towards the Orc, using some kind of.. power to suck out the wierd energy from the General. Phenex gazed overwhelmed at the two of them, as she could not tell which one was dangerous now and which one wasn't. She looked at the others around her, seeing that they held their weapons up, ready to attack the Bear-like thing. But it was not her 'comerades' who catched her eyes, it were the creatures behind them. They seemed to consist of the same energy that was being sucked out of Nazgrim right now, Phenex could sense an huge amount of hatred comming of of them, no, they seemed to BE the manifestion of hatred. She jerked her head back to what was actually happening, when the General started groaning out in pain. "You! Bear-creature. What kind of sorcery was this?", Nazgrim coughed, staring at the person in front of him. The Bear-creature obviously was in a really bad mood, and did not like anyone, there at the moment, at all. Phenex thought of it as relatable, since she did not like anyone there either. "Stranger - your own doubts have been made manifest.", the bear-looking-creature said, "Pandaria is not like any land you come from, it lives and breathes. You should be careful, no.. MUST be careful with what kind of energy you bring here.", the bear said, which the General understood as a threatening. "We bring only our honor and the desire to crush our enemies." , The Orc started, "Have your kind been aiding the Alliance?" He breathed out dangerously. The Bear-like-creature only shook his head. "It is not our desire to get wrapped up in your bloodshed.", he started continiuing to glance at everyone on the platform, his eyes stopping at the human girl, where a frown made itself upon his face, "Now, have your men lower their weapons, or you will face TWO enemies on this continent." He warned the General, who immediately commanded everyone to lower their weapons.
When the others did, so did Phenex, unsure of what is going on exactly. The Bear-creature, who looked like a panda, made his way towards the girl, studying her. "You, you look like a child.", he said to her, "You look like a child, of those, who these people-", he pointed at the Orcs, "are fighting against. What brings you to them? What makes you kill your people?" He asked her, searchingly. "I-I" The girl tried to speak, but ended up sighing and pointing to her mouth, closing it. "So you can not talk..", the panda pointed out, "Can you write?", he asked next, to which Phenex nodded. A Tauren had once given her a book, to learn writing and to draw. She loved drawing and writing, it was not like she had anything else to do anyway, but.. the Orcs have taken it from her, for no reason that she knew of. "Good.", The panda's voice snapped her back to reality. He took out a Notebook, a feather and a little closed inkwell out of one of his bags, holding it out for her to take. The girl nodded in acknowlegement, taking the stuff and beginning to write her answear.
I am a.. well, I think it's called "slave" or "prisoner", of theirs, Garrosh Hellscream, the warchief (Leader of the Horde), has told me that if I do as he commands, I will live and he'll tell me my real Name.
My codename is "Phenex", and I am not allowed to tell much more- not that there is anyway.
I'm sorry, Sir.
The panda read her note quickly, his eyes slightly widening. "So.. how old are you?" He asked, a little bit more silent than before.
16 years, I think.
Phenex wrote down, his eyes showing something furious, "My Name is Taran Zhu.", He ended the conversation with the girl turning to the others again. "Clean up after yourselves and meet me in the village below, I will do my best to explain what is happening here." Taran Zhu said, before flying to the village on something looking like a mix of a snake and a dragon. The General frowned, when looking at the girl, probably putting her in the section of 'suspicious' in his mindset. "There must be a few survivors from the crash. Find as many survivors as you can in the forest below.", he started, "The assistance of the nearby village has now become a necesstiy, Phenex.", the General continiued, "You will act as envoy for the Horde. Ensure the cooperation of their leader. Do not dare to dissapoint me!", He warned her at the end. Phenex saluted, realising she still had the notebook, the feather and the small, closed, inkwell in her hands. She put them in a little bag she took from one of the alliance soliders, so she could give it back to the Panda later.
