Demon Hunter: Dream of Nightmare

Prologue

My soul is torn...between here and another place. This other place...feels so familier, yet so distant at the same time... Like it's a dream....or possibly a nightmare. Miakoda's thoughts swirled. As a spirit she had no sense of time, of importance, of anything really. Yet I feel from here the love and longing of another... But who is it? Why can I not remember who it is? Miakoda stopped and stood still by the hole that was supposed to pass for a pool of water. But no water was there. Where am I? Who am I? And why do I feel so torn between two different places? She leaned down and touched the surface of the dirt. She closed her eyes and allowed her subconscious mind to carry her thoughts away...

Illidan stared towards the sky where Argus now remained always looming and ever present in the sky. Day or night it was there. Miakoda...if only you where here to witness this. For a moment he allowed himself the slightest weakness. A weakness that none should have to endure but many often did. He looked to his left where his beloved had always stood but no one was there now. But be sensed someone approching and looked to see his twin walking up. "Is there a reason behind your visit?" he growled the last word.

"Tyrande made me," Malfurion smiled as Illidan sighed. "Why has Miakoda's death caused you to go into solitude? The Illidari, Miarri even I and Tyrande worry about you."

"Miakoda was special..." The answer was as straight forward as any answer Illidan would give to his brother, but Malfurion continued on.

"Illidan, it's not like you two were ma-!" Malfurion paused as it but him like a ton of bricks. "You are her mate, aren't you?"

At that Illidan turned to Malfurion again, "Did it really take you this long to figure it out?" he asked slightly amused until Malfurion spoke again.

"Tyrande and Mia told me that Mia was to be married but would not tell me who." At that Illidan chuckled, granted he covered it up with a sneeze, but the amusement was clearly written.

"She was always tricky." He returned his gaze skyward.

Malfurion walked up next to him and sighed. Mia's body has been fully healed and Maiev has done the imprisionment to keep her body safe.

If it were up to Maiev, Miakoda would never come out of that imprisionment.

Malfurion looked to Illidan. Actually, and this is hard to believe, but Maiev owes Miakoda. Shortly after you left to hunt down the master of the demon who killed Mia, Maiev arrived to see what the commotion was and where you went to.

She did?

Yes, when she saw Miakoda's still and bloodied form she flew into a rage. She swore to help us, Help Miakoda, in anyway. Even Jarod wants to help.

"That's a first, why him?"

"From what I understand Jarod owes Mia his very life, and from what I know of the man he would see that debt repaid." Illidan only nodded then together both turned away from Argus to look for anyway to save Miakoda from a dreadful fate.
