I do not own Blizzard's work, but Isis and Scarlet are all mine.

Prologue:

The dark clouds rolled and twisted above, making the portal seem more menacing. Isis sat with her fist in the sand, her eyes fixed on the portal. "You're dead to me!" her bothers voice echoing in her mind. She looked ahead to see the glowing, golden phoenix embroider on the back of her

lady Scarlet's cloak, and her eyes began to fill with tears. Isis thought of everything that brought her to this barren desert. The very people that she had grown up with, her teachers, mentors, her father and brother. Had she betrayed them? Had the darkness she had fought for so long

finally won? The wind blew leaving them covered in dust and sand, lightning striking the ground beside them. The ground shaking the rocks scatted from the impact, startling the hawkstriders. Isis jumped up and held them tight to hold control, she placed her hands gently on the creatures

heads and whispered in Thalassian, the animals calmed. Isis tightened their reins catching a glimpse of her palm, she stared at the gash that rested across it, anger filled her. She cliched her fists so tightly, blood began to trickle down her fists. She could feel the power ringing in her ears.

She watched the blood intensely, it shimmed and sparkled in the sun...she thought to herself, "Light give me strength, for the path I walk may lead me to darkness."

Isis turned to watch the sun set over the mountains while pulled her hair back to try to keep it from blowing about. She thought of him and what she misses the most. His soft touch, his beautiful green eyes, the way he would smile when he saw her. A single tear fell from her glowing blu

eyes and her heart felt so heavy, she lowed her head. Isis whispered to her self, "I still love you, my dark prince" Isis mind continued to wander,

So much darkness in his eyes , and yet why did he not try to kill me when he slaughtered so many. Why did he just stand there starring as if …...He remembered. Was her beloved prince still in there somewhere? Much had happen over the last year, secrets long kept from her had showed there ugly head and the power that been hiding in her finally busted forth in full strength. The question was what would she do with it. A destiny she had not figured out yet, even after so many had revealed.

Isis knew now where her future would lead her, but the details were still uncertain. . Isis took a deep breath and looked back to the Dark Portal "Shorel'aran Kael my beloved brother. One day I hope you can understand... and forgive me. Be strong, and may the light always be with you. Lead our people to salvation."

Isis placed her hand on Scarlets shoulder, "My loyal friend. You can follow the others , I fear the path I choose now is dark and could not risk you falling to it." She mounted her hawkstrider.

Scarlet looked up, deep in to Isis eyes. She could see the sadness , but also the determination by the golden hew. Isis mind was set and she knew it. "We have walked the same path for so long, the only path I see before me is the same as yours. If I must follow you in to the deeps of hell, anar'alah belore. Let us fight these fires together."

Isis smiled and her heart swelled with gratitude. It was true they had been though so much together, but was Scarlet ready to face the cold. "Scarlet, where we go is much colder then that, we face no fires only the blistering cold."

Scarlet now knew that it was to the north that Isis had set her heart to, and Arthas.

Scarlet mounted "Then Your Highness, we should be off." Trying to hide her fear of what Northrend would have in store for them.

Isis bowed her head, and they headed north.
