World of Warcraft - Stand Against The Legion

03: First Mission

Arisuh and Asunáh were walking in the forest with a common intension to find the lost child. They were told to go and seek in the forest next to Eastvale Logging Camp so they had the opportunity to travel on a gryphon. Arisuh, as always, jumped in the adventure without hesitating but Asunáh was different. She never admitted it but she had a fear of flight. Arisuh knew that well so she didn't tell Asunáh where they're heading, she found out when they got to the flight master. Arisuh got a lot of scold while they were travelling. At least, their attention was moved from the fact their brother was dead. In fact, both of them were very aware that this mark cannot be removed from their hearts. The pain they felt will got better but will never fade away. The first step towards recovery was to give time to themselves. As they got deeper in the woods, they met with wolves. The animals weren't normal, they didn't attack for getting meal or for protecting their little ones, no, they attacked to kill, the opposite of their true nature.

- What's with these? - asked Arisuh after they're over the kill of a bunch.

Asunáh stood silently and tried to think of proper answers but her knowledge was not enough. She also wanted to know the reason so she decided herself to make contact with the spirits. She wasn't sure if it's possible at that moment and also she was able to do it or not, but she had to try that. With closed eyes, she started to talk to spirits and the answer came really fast. The earth spirit came to give a helping hang to the girls. She opened her eyes and looked at her sister.

- These wolves are cursed by the fel.

Arisuh took a look at them and nodded.

- Maybe you're right. Look, we have to get through if we want to help that boy.

- Can you make a stand against them? If you are injured, I'll heal your wounds. I am not perfect, but I'll do everything.... - blushed Asunáh as she was really a beginner but Arisuh smiled at her elder sister.

- It's enough for me. - and charged to the nearest cursed wolf.

Asunáh had the feeling that her sister enjoyed that. Standing against the beasts and beating them was something that rather suited to Arisuh than talking to spirits. Asunáh knew that well and did everything for Arisuh not to suffer from pain. Wolves were really wild but it took no time for this team to get through. Arisuh turned to her sister.

- You're really good at it! I don't even feel the pain if you heal me. Can you heal bigger wounds too?

- I can but there's a limit. I'm still learning.

- From who?

- If I tell you, will you believe me?

- From spirits. - told Arisuh.

- Yeah.

Arisuh laughed.

- Give me a compliment, I'm used to your things :D

- I'd if you weren't so childish.

- Come on! I'm just 50!

Asunáh laughed but they continued on their journey. It's okay they were told the boy came this way, but they had to somehow figure out where he continued. They had to read footsteps in which Asunáh succeed very well. They could follow him to a point where a river came into sight. They realised they were back near the monastery but there the vineyard were in blaze. They saw some poeple tried to water it.

- What should we do now? - asked Arisuh.

- I think they can handle it so we should find the boy. What about coming back here after it?

- Okay.

- We better hurry because it'll rain soon and the water will eat away his footsteps.

Arisuh nodded but said nothing. Slowly she got used to her sister's strange things. She knew Asunáh had a gift and it was real but still it was hard to make it as a daily rutine. They walked silently and Arisuh had the time to think about what she did wrong in that morning. Always the same questions: what could she do to avoid her brother's bad end? Was it a good idea to leave Asunáh alone with their brother? It's not like she didn't trust in her elder sister but she felt she (herself) didn't do everything to help them, mainly to help her brother. She was a warrior, she could heal nothing exept for their gift they had as draeneis, but maybe she could fight alongside with her brother. Arisuh stopped surprised as Asunáh tapped her shoulder.
