World of Warcraft: The Untold Story (Book One)

The Start of a New Beginning

Late-night thoughts raced inside my mind as I lied awake. I wasn't able to rest at all with this thoughts. Sacrifice is part of my life now and there will be more things to give up later down the road. Now, I know what I was meant to do. Banshees greet me on the staircase as I walked out of my room and down the hall.

"Where is Vernal?" I ask.

"I haven't see him so far." Gloria says.

I continue on my way down the staircase. Kily and Elantra exit the mansion. With the small glimpse of the outside world I could see it's raining. I raise my hood up and walk outside. Atlas, I spot Vernal at the edge of the mountaintop. Kily and Elantra had just walked over to him.

"Vernal, is everything okay?" I ask, walking to the three of them.

"What is our purpose now? All of us are free of the Lich King's control. You are our mother now, but he gave us a cause. What is left for us now?" Vernal says, staring out to the distance.

"Last night I had thought about this very hard. Through my thoughts I had found our new cause. We need not to torment children or farmers, but we now can be our own nation. Together we can stand and take over Lordaeron. And I have a perfect plan for that and it will turn out in our favor." I say.

"My queen, you speak of something some of us can not do. We will lose half of our kind because of this plan. I have just walked inside your mind and saw your entire plan. You are correct, it will turn out in our favor, especially yours." Elantra says.

"Sometimes we have to sacrifice things to achieve a higher purpose. I promised to take care of you all and that is what I'm gonna do. We can not live in an isolated world no longer, eventually the Lich King will return and kill us all." I say.

"What is this plan you have in mind?" Kily asks.

"We are only a river away from Tirisfal Glades. I will send out a party of banshees to possess various leaders of the remaining humans in the land. Anything that can be a use to us will be possessed. With our new forces we shall take the fight to Lordaeron and take over what is rightfully ours." I say.

"And what of Balnazzar, Detheroc, and their Burning Legion forces? They will not let us just walk in and take their home from them." Vernal says.

"Death shall be their fate. Varimathras has been a loyal ally to us. He will aid us throughout this plan. As of right now his fate is undecided. Those of the banshees that wish to leave will be allowed to, but will always have a place beside me." I say.

"As one of your own I will fight for you. You are our queen and we must follow your orders. There is no where else I'd rather be." Elantra says.

"My queen, there is someone here to see you. He awaits in your room." Senna says.

"Who awaits for my arrival?" I ask, confused.

"Varimathras, my lady." Senna replies.

"Vernal, gather our greatest banshees and see the deed done. Return once all is meant." I say.

"With pleasure, my lady." Vernal says, walking away.

I walk back inside and make my way for my room. As soon as I enter my room Varimathras turns around and looks at me with a worried look on his face.

"What brings you here at this hour, Varimathras?" I ask.

"Sylvanas, Balnazzar and Detheroc have taken Lordaeron. The Burning Legion have made their way inside and I overheard some talk between the soldiers. They wish to seek elsewhere and expand their territory. We can not allow this to happen. The Burning Legion is a poisonous force and will destroy everything they touch. Unwillingly, I had no other choice to join them. I'm here to ask you to join in behalf of my brothers' request." Varimathras says.

"You'd be a fool to think I would ever join the Burning Legion. They're just as wicked and cruel as the Scourge. I decline your offer. Although, I wish to remain loyal allies with you. I wish to meet the three of you at the end of the week in Silverpine Forest, not to far from Shadowfang Keep." I say.

"As you wish, my lady." Varimathras says, teleporting out of my sight.

A few days of passed and Vernal still hasn't returned. Recently, I had written to my brother-in-law, Rhonin. Hopefully, I receive word back to him. He leads a powerful force known as the Kirin Tor. With their help the Lich King's chances against us are weakened.

"Vernal has returned!" Elantra announces.

I walk out of my room and lean of the railing at the head of the hall. Vernal was standing at the bottom with a giant force of ogres, trolls, murlocs, bloodwing bats, bloodhounds, undead forces, and many other creatures. Suddenly, they all bow down to me as they looked up at me, their new queen.
