The portal opened. Alleria and Turalyon stepped onto Azeroth, disbelief in their eyes. It seemed they were right outside Quel'thalas.
"We.. we're home!" Alleria exclaimed. After everything they'd been through, traveling to other worlds, trying ever portal they could. They were finally home. Alleria knew the first thing she had to do was return to her sisters in Quel'thalas! Sylvanas and Vereesa must have been so worried.
"Seems we're in Lordaeron, Quel'thalas is not far." Turalyon looked around, noticing how different it looked. He could smell... Death.
"Turalyon! We should go to Quel'thalas!"
"Yes Alleria, but... this place has changed hasn't it? I'm suspicious."
"We'll see to it after. My sister's are waiting!"
They made their way to Quel'thalas, Alleria was surprised by what she had found. Southern Quel'thalas seemed different. A dark trail ran up through the forest, undead crawled through the woods that seemed ghostly. Eventually they made it to Windrunner Spire. Alleria walked into her ruined home, things were broken and knocked over, more importantly, her sisters weren't there.
"Who... could have done this?" A tear slid down Alleria' s cheek, examining a broken picture on the floor that held an image of her family.
"Alleria," Turalyon placed a single hand on Alleria' s shoulder. "We don't know what happened. Maybe they're fighting now? Didn't you guys fight the trolls a lot?"
"That's right... Turalyon, we have no time to waste." Alleria swiftly rushed out and ran through the forest, Turalyon behind her.
Eventually they ran to the outer area in which the trolls stayed. As she walked up the path she saw High Elves except, something seemed different. Their eyes glowed green instead of the regular blue. She continued to walk examining the elves, confused. What has happened in her absense? She stopped walking when she noticed a slim elf with silvery hair and still had blue eyes, she was with some other High elves, Halduron Brightwing.. whose eyes were green and a troll. It was Vereesa. Vereesa turned to see her sister and a smile came to her face. Vereesa ran up and hugged Alleria.
"Alleria! By the light! You're back!" Vereesa yelled, her arms still around Alleria.
"It's nice to see you again, Vereesa. I missed you. But thing is... Where is Sylvanas? Why do these elves have green eyes? Why do they act so different, especially Halduron! And what of this troll?" Alleria asked.
Vereesa backed up, and looked down to her feet.
"There are some things you need to know Alleria, about Sylvanas, about our people, about the events that took place while you were missing."
Alleria looked at Vereesa confused. "Tell me, Vereesa." Alleria said, though she also didn't want to ask.
Vereesa then explained that Sylvanas was now now undead after Arthas' invasion, she explained the Blood Elf situation and how it's dangerous to be in Quel'thalas now. Alleria felt hurt, She hated Arthas. She felt furious at the betrayal of her people. How they allied with the Horde which she despised deeply.
"If only I was there when Arthas decided to attack... I could have saved Sylvanas!" Tears now soaked Alleria's face. "But... I want to talk to her."
"I wouldn't. She's changed, she's not the Sylvanas we knew anymore. She's..." Vereesa couldn't finish.
"But maybe if we just talk to her!" Alleria yelled, she threw her bow off her back and slammed it on the ground. Tears began to pour down both of their faces like rivers.
"You can try. You'd probably pull it off, I mean look at you. You could fool them with the green eyes. Just... be careful, everyone still sees Alleria Windrunner as a high elf." Vereesa said weakly, she felt as if she was going to burst into tears also. She had realized Alleria was different. She looked older, her eyes were now a light green, easily could fool them. If she stayed covered. Nobody could notice that she was Alleria Windrunner.
"Then... I'm going to go. Turalyon?" Alleria looked towards Turalyon.
"Yes?" He said.
"Vereesa said that there is probably people that would like to see you in Stormwind. I will come there when I'm done talking with Sylvanas."
Turalyon thought a minute. "are you sure?"
"I am sure. Me and Vereesa will head to the ruins of Lordaeron. Then go to Stormwind and meet you there."
"Wait, I'm going too?" Vereesa said, worry in her voice.
Alleria nodded, Vereesa look to the side, she was finally going to see her sister.
"We should be on our way then." Alleria slung the bow on her back.
