It had taken Kai five thousand years but she had found the prison in the hills of Mount Hyjal. She knew the Wardens guard routes by heart and she was making her move tonight. When the full moon was at its highest she was going to sneak into the Prison and at least see Illidan. While he would never return her feeling she knew it would be better for her to see him one last time. One last time before she became the hero of Azeroth.

She has minutes to get through the guard lines up front and she had to act fast. Casting a slight illusion spell she ran through the gates and to the nearest wall. From here she would have to make a left and then a right. A fact she only knew thanks to Illidan injuring one of the guards who was supposed to feed him. She followed the walls and make sure to continually cast a reflection spell as she ran though those halls. She made her way to the darkest parts of the prison and she casted a light spell.

Within seconds of casting another spell she was locked in a cage. Wardens surrounded her and Maiev was the one who pushed through first. "Well what do we have here." Maiev asked as her wardens opened up the cage. Whatever they carved onto the metal it took away all the power Kai had. They tied her down as Kai thrashed in the ropes panting and snapping at them like a wild animal. "A thief who has come for what."

"I don't answer to you." Kai snapped as she got hit in the face.

"Wardens illumination." Maiev said and the wardens casted a similar light spell to what Kai had done except they had done it all tighter. "Keyleth?" Maiev asked and Kai nodded. "Ah so your here to see Illidan, Malfurion warned us that you might."

"Let me see him." Kai snapped standing up despite having ropes wrapped around her body.

"Well i have to admit, you got in here rather easily. You tell us how you did that then i'll let you see him." Maiev said and Kai laughed bitterly.

"Is five thousand years a proper answer Maiev, the two of us should be dead but were not." Kai said with a shrug, "I wasted my life trying to get in here, so have your wardens take me to Illidan now."

"Nix take her to Stormrage's prison." Maiev said and one warden out of Kai's vision nodded. Maiev cut her loose and the other Wardens started to rest the trap Kai stumbled into.

"May i ask you a question?" Nix asked and Kai nodded without speaking.

"Are you a demon?" She asked and Kai scoffed.

"Nature Spirit."

"What's a Nature Spirit?" She asked and Kai rolled her eyes.

"Like any other kind of spirit, we live in the forests and take care of them." Kai sai watching the flowers bloom around her feet and then wilt away. "Nature Sprites are immortal and use the land to help them survive."

"That's interesting." Nix responded stopping Kai from walking further, "we're almost there, his cage is just around this corner." Nix lead her the rest of the way and from the corner Kai could see Illidan's dimly light tattoos. "I won't let you into his cage but you may approach him."

"Thank you Nix." Kai said rushing to the cage. "Illidan."

"Go away, i have no time for your endless games." Illidan snapped and Kai narrowed her eyes.

"We promised each other we wouldn't leave each other, five thousand years later and that's the first thing you say to me?" Kai said sitting in front of his cage and Illidan turned towards her.

"Yes five thousand years and Keyleth should be dead, no Night Elf should live that long." Illidan snapped approaching her and giving her a look that could kill.

"Illidan Stormrage! I would assume living in a prison made you stupid after all this time. If you remember correctly I am half Nature Spirit meaning i get my immortality from that half of me!" Kai snapped.
