Chapter 1
Link's Point of View
I watched helplessly as Midna started to turn into particles and disappeared for the last time… but, something in the air was wrong, I felt a weird presence in the air as I watched on, and as I watch my friend leaving forever the portal looked like the wind had formed an image a huge castle with a town surrounding the castle. And before I knew it, I had been sucked into the portal.
Alberts' PoV.
Me and my brothers Caryartomlis and Renhousen, where walking through Stormwind looking at all of the damage from Deathwing when he flew overhead and destroyed a good portion of the city. We walked around what was once the park, and started to head towards the Trading District to inspect the Towers that Deathwing landed on. As we were walking by the main gate and there was a flash of light and when it was over there was unconscious Blood Elf on the ground. I looked at my brothers to see them drawing there weapons so I turned towards the Blood Elf and started walking towards him.
On first glance he appeared unconscious but on closer inspection he was awake and relised he was in a place he didn't belong because his muscles were tense. "Who are you?" I asked him, and it appears as if he knows this language so he relaxed and opened his eyes.
"My name is Link." he replied while starting to stand up, but noticed that everyone around him was tense, so when he got up he asked us "Why are you all so tense?" as if the power that was rolling off of him wasn't a need for concern.
One of the guards walked up to him and said "You'll be coming with us." Link shrugged and followed the guard. Knowing how most things work around here, he was most likely going to be taken to the SI: 7 headquarters in Old Town. We had a younger Brother who was just starting his career with them; maybe we could get information about the Elf from him. For now, me and my brothers decided to continue inspecting the Recent Damage.
Link's PoV.
So I followed the guards into a small house near some stables. The guard that told me to follow him talked to a man that was wearing leather armor. When I walked in a person tried to take my sword and shield, they did take my shield, but the sword was a different story, the Master Sword didn't deem the man worthy and blasted him away. The other guards must have thought that I was attacking because soon everyone was pointing some kind of weapon in my direction.
I quickly raised my hands and said "I didn't do anything, the sword only allows those it deems worthy to wield it, and since it deem him worthy, it rejected him!" some of them lowered their weapons, others kept them raised.
"What sort of enchantment is that?" asked one of the people that was holding a sword in one hand and a dagger in the other.
"I'm not entirely sure, one of my ancestors crafted the blade, so for all I know, only my bloodline can use it." I said. I then unclasped the sheath from my back and handed it to the one that was trying to disarm me earlier, he looked wary, but still took the sword and went to store my weapons someplace. "So, what do you want?" I asked.
"We want to know why a Blood Elf such as yourself would come armed to the city of Stormwind alone. You couldn't have possibly have done too much damage on your own, so, why come to Stormwind?" asked a creature that looked like a mix in between a man and a wolf, standing at around my height at six two.
"Stormwind, Blood Elf? I don't know what these things are, I am a Hylian named Link from the Ordona Province of Hyrule." I said to the people around me. They looked confused by the places I mentioned and asked me about the Horde "I don't know anything about what you're asking of me." Was said a lot that day, and after sifting through my memories with some sort of magic, they got confirmation on my story and let me go, only after I agreed to go to a little Abby north of here called Northshire, and to help out with what was going on.
"To get there, you need to go back to where you woke up and follow the road to a town called Goldshire and from there follow the road north." Said the Werewolf from earlier. "Oh, and my name Bration, welcome to the Alliance."
"Thank you." I said and with that I set out to Northshire Abby to help with what was going on there.
"Oh, and by the way, if anyone asks, you're a High Elf, okay?" Bration said as I walked out the door.
"Okay." Was my response to him.
As I walked through the town I noticed all sorts of people, some that looked like the werewolf from earlier, and others that looked like the humans back from the village, some looked like small humans with long bushy beards, and some that were even smaller and skinnier, some that looked like Hylian other than the glowing eyes and purplish skin, and even these weird beings that were really tall with tails and hooves and horns and tentacles, needless to say, the inhabitants of this Alliance were a weird bunch. It also appeared as if the town was color coded, the area I was in that was red and the area next to it was blue, and beyond that was a purple zone, across from me the roofs were brown and next to that they were yellow in color.
I closed my eyes and concentrated on the magic of the dark stone that was in one of my bottomless pouches and transformed into the proud and powerful form of the wolf that was a part of me. I was told by Midna that over time, the transformation would become almost second nature and all I would have to do was think about my wolf form and I would become it. I focused on my senses and was overwhelmed by all the new scents in the air, but tried to focus on the trail that marked where I had come from, and after finding it and following it, I came back to where I started. Now I focused on the power of my Triforce and the Master Sword to turn back into my Hylian form.
Now that I was Hylian and walking in unfamiliar territory I pulled out my bow and strung an arrow and walked on the path to Goldshire. At one point a bandit came out of the thick of the woods and threatened to kill me if I didn't hand over my gold, acting more on instinct rather than thought, I brought the bow up and shot him in the throat, causing the bandit to drop his sword and bring his hand to his throat and make a gurgling noise and fall to his knees and die. I felt bad for killing the man, but if he had the chance, he would have tried to kill me, so I did what was best. After looking over the body, I gathered some of what must have been this world's currency, some rations, and I took his sword and shoulder armor to see how much coin it would fetch. Afterwards I pulled my arrow out of his neck and put it back on my bow and continued to walk the path that lead to Goldshire.
I didn't get attacked for the rest of the way after that, but some of the villagers looked at me with caution as I walked through town, but calmed down after I walked back into the forest. As I neared the Abby, I noticed a cloud of smoke billowing overhead and started to run faster so see that the Abby was under siege by some creatures that looked like a mix in between a moblin and a human. I ran through the action and stopped at what looked to be the man that was in charge and asked what I could do to help.
"Well, if you're looking to help, I won't deny the offer, but as you can see, we are outnumbered and we can only last so long without reinforcements, but seeing as you're here, I will need you to go and attack and kill as many of those Worgs so that I can start fighting back against the orcs with a stronger force." The man said to me so I went off to start killing Worgs, which looked to be like Wolves, but larger and more feral looking. After killing the vast majority of them on one side I went back to the man.
"I killed almost all of the Worgs that were attacking your men and that were walking around in the area." I said.
"Good job, and now that most of my men are back here, we can mount a counter attack, but before we do, I need you to kill off as many of their scouts as you can." He said.
"Yes sir." I said and walked back into the forest surrounding the Abby and transformed into a wolf to stalk down the Orc spies. After walking around, I found one and got as close as I could so I could pick out the scent of the others in the area and lashed out. I barked as I jumped at the orc that was holding a telescope to spy on the humans, it turned around and screamed, trying to grab its weapons, but I was too quick and landed on the orc, killing it by crushing its neck in my jaws. I continued to do this for a while before I couldn't smell anymore orc spies in the area.
On my way back I turned back into a human and wiped the blood off my face and went back to report to man that seemed to be in charge.
"You're a good soldier…?" he asked.
"Link," I said
"Right, you're a good soldier Link, but there is no more that we can do while the back is still being attacked, I need you to go report to Sargent Willem, oh, and tell him that Marshal McBride Sent you." Marshal McBride said to me.
"Yes sir." I said and went to go report to the Sargent. I walked around the Abby and saw a man in a white robe healing armored soldiers that I had helped earlier and a man in golden armor looking at a field of battle through a telescope. "Umm, are you Sargent Willem?" I asked the man in the golden armor.
He looked over at me and said "yes, now, what do you want?"
"Marshal McBride sent me over to help you know that all his men are in one place and ready to counter attack, he just needs your men, so he sent me to help you." I said.
"Well, if McBride thinks that you're all I need, I won't question him, now, what I need you to do is go out and help my men, because the orcs are using Goblin assassins to distract us, and, dammit, they're incapacitating my men, so go out there and kill those damn goblins, and also check to see if Brother Paxton needs any help from you." He said.
So I went to Brother Paxton "Do you need any help Brother Paxton?" I asked him.
"Yes, there are wounded men out in the field, if you go out and into the field, could you please call upon the light to heal them enough for them to come back here?" he asked me while I he was healing one of the guards I had helped earlier.
"Yes, I can do that; I'll be back once I've helped the men out in the field." I told him and left him to healing and went to help the men and kill the goblin assassins.
I walked through the field and saw some creatures looked like moblins but had a skinnier and longer face, and I guess that these things were the Goblins. While killing the goblin assassins, I found several guards. After finding them, I closed my eyes and started to pray for this 'light' to heal them. And oddly enough, every time I tried, the guard would look at me and make his way back to Brother Paxton. I could never sneak up on the assassins, but this made sense being as they were assassins and were trained to sneak and detect, but not really how to fight if they were discovered, making them short work.
"I've killed all of the Goblin assassins, they won't bother you anymore." I said to him.
"Yeah, I saw you kill them, and I'm going to assume that you healing the injured was a request of Brother Paxton?" he asked me.
"Yes it was." I said.
"Okay, after you report to him, go to Marshal McBride and tell him that me and my men are ready." He said.
"Yes sir." I said and went to go tell Brother Paxton that I got everyone that was out in the field. "Brother Paxton, I helped everyone that was out in the field, how much longer until everyone is healed?" I asked him.
He looked over his shoulder and said "Not much longer, they will be ready to attack when the time comes."
"Okay, I'm going to go and tell the Marshal that everything and everyone is ready to attack." I said and left. I went to the Marshal and reported in to him and said that everything was set.
"Good work Link, I'll send a message to Sargent Willem to start the attack on what's left of the Vineyard. And on request of one of the previous owners, we'll also take fire extinguishers to put out the fires that have eaten everything there." He then wrote a note and gave it to a scout that ran over to Sargent Willem to attack the orcs. "Now Link, what I'm going to ask of you is a dangerous task, while we are attacking, I want you to go and kill their leader; Kurtok the Slayer. He is going to be the toughest of the orcs you're going to be facing here today, make sure he does not escape with his life." Marshal McBride said to me.
"Yes sir!" I said
"Now, he is going to be somewhere near the back, one of my scouts said that Kurtok was the Orc that was furthest north and in a place with only one entrance and exit, the direction that you'll be coming from. He also has two personal guards with him; I recommend getting rid of them before you approach him directly. Go now." He said.
I ran to where the orcs where while both of the leaders organized their men I hid in the tree line on the opposite side of the river of the burnt vineyard. I looked over them and I saw Kurtok and notched two arrows to kill his guards before going after him, I sat there and waited for a minute before the fighting started, the orcs were unprepared and many died before they knew what was happening. I shot my arrows, killing both of Kurtok's guards and jumped across the river and ran at him, killing any orc that got in my way.
When I reached him he drew his axe and snarled at me. "So, you must be the one that destroyed all my work, well, I'm going to enjoy killing you!" he yelled and rushed at me.
He went with a strong overhead strike that I rolled out of the way to avoid being split in half, but with his axe in the ground, I got a few hits on him before he pulled his axe out of the ground and swung at me. I barely got my shield up in time to block his attack, but this opened up his side allowing me to stab him before he jumped back. He jumped forward and swung at my legs, forcing me to jump to avoid losing my legs, but I guess he didn't anticipate me being able to flip over him, so this allowed me to use the secret technique of Helm Splitter, which cleaved his head in half, killing him. Afterwards I jumped into the fray of Humans fighting orcs. It was a short fight, but all of the orcs were dead with very few human deaths.
I went back to report to Marshal McBride and saw him smiling at me. "You're a hero Link, if it wasn't for you, many more casualties on our side; I would like to thank you with some armor and some gold. Would you like to accept?" he asked me.
"Yes, can I look at the armor?" I asked him.
"That's the thing, I wanted to know what type of armor you wanted and if you wanted it in any particular color scheme?" he asked.
I thought it over and said "I would like plate armor in a green and silver color palate."
"Anything for the hero of the day!" he said. "It might take a few days to make, but for the meantime, you should go to Goldshire and help out there, or spend a couple of days relaxing, it's up to you."
"I'm actually supposed to go to the SI:7 Headquarters, I was tasked with helping out here so as to get on the good side of the Alliance, do to my appearance similar to that of a Blood Elf." I said and he nodded.
"Okay, after you're done with that, could you go and tell the Marshal in Goldshire that we don't need any more help here, and if you want, help out the citizens of Goldshire, no, don't let me keep you, go and do whatever you need, You are dismissed Link!" he said and sent me on my way.
I walked out of Northshire and went to Stormwind tell those of SI:7 what happened here today and hopefully in time the Vineyard goes back to the way it was before.
(A/N: I made this fiction for two reasons, one is to set up a prequel for my other two stories, and there aren't nearly enough LoZ and WoW crossovers. I hope you enjoy this, oh, and if it wasn't blatantly obvious that this was a Twilight Princess Crossover with Cataclysm, it is, and also, the names of the OC's are based on my WoW Characters, there are five Brothers even if I only mentioned four.
