Hey, i have thought alot about writing this story, just never got the time for it...but now i do, so enjoy. btw i may switch pov from time to time. pov: Point Of View
Some time has passed since the defeat Archimonde and the legion in Tanaan. And therefore the Shadow Council is pretty much dead. However there is still some survivers left. A group of 5 members were sent back to Talador by Gul'dan himself when the assault on the citadel began. He said that there existed tales of an artifact with incredible power hidden in a cave along the west shore.
So here they are at the shore just west of Gul'rok.
Talador
Group leader pov.
"The artifact should be around here. If what master Gul'dan said is true then we will conguer Draenor for the Legion" i thought.
"We have been searching these shores for hours. Face it Gralda, this artifact is not here" i hear a certien orc say behind me.
I turn around with a snarl on my face and is met by Rakor leaning on the mountianside. "Quit your whining, Rakor. If you're tired already then go back to Tanaan and die" i yell at him
This clearly pissed him off as he grabs his axe and got into fighting stance.
I also go into fighting stance and make a felfire bolt in my hand. "Make a move Rakor, we both know im stronger than you" i say.
"Orcs" i hear Vaalon mutter.
With a angry roar he slams his axe into the mountianside. But then it begins to crack. The crack grows bigger. And then it collapses revealing a small passage into the mountian.
No pov.
While the group is caught up in what just happened. An orc hunter, with light green skin and a short black beard, sees them. He was riding his Iron Skyreaver and spots them from the sky. (my armor is the Rylakstalker mythic set)
Saldroks pov.
"Whats this? more shadow council cowards?" i take out my gun (Shreddirons shredder lvl 6)and look through the scope to get a better view. "Hmm, five in total. Three shadowguards in steel armor, all male, one of them draenei, the others orcs. Two warlocks in dark brown robes, both female orcs. Not too challenging. Kragosh, take us down" i say.
We descend on them fast. Just when we're about the reach the ground, i jump off Kragosh and land right in front of the draenei. Before he has time to react, i shoot him in the face.
The other two Shadowguards run towards me to attack, but they're stopped by Kragosh as he devours them whole. One for each head.
I quickly shoot one of the warlocks before she cast any spells. However the other one was faster and shoots a felfire bolt at me. I take out one of my axes and deflects the bolt right back at her.
The blast knocked her into a nearby rock and she passes out. I reload my gun, walks towards her and is about the finish her off.
Then i see a crimson light in the cornor of my eye. I turn towards the cave to see it coming from inside. Curiosity got the better of me. "Kragosh, watch her for a minute" i say as i place my gun on my back and walk into the cave.
The passageway was reletivly small, but then moments later i walked into a giant room of sort. The only things in the room were an alter with a small red crystal hovering over it. Behind it was a large statue of a man wearing long robes and had a very long beard
I slowly walk closer to the alter to investigate this mysterious crystal. "hmmm, wonder what kind of crystal this is" i thought as i reached out for it with my right hand.
As soon as i touch the crystal, a bright light envelops the room and i feel unbearable pain in my hand. I scream as it feels like my hand is being torn apart and put back together.
When the light dies down and the pain fades away, i stumble backwards and fall. I slowly sit back up and look at the alter. The crystal is gone. I look at my hand, to see the crystal IN my hand.
"What in the name of Goldrinn"? i mutter in shock.
"Worry not, young Saldrok" i hear a deep voice say.
I look up to the statue to see its eyes glowing. "This was meant to happen" its says.
"Who are you and how do you know my name?" i ask as i stand up again.
"I am the guardian of the Heart of Loyalty. This crystal was made by the Titans as they crafted this Draenor.
"This Draenor? the titans knew about alternate realities?"
"Yes, they knew what would happen on this Draenor. Because of the approaching darkness, they chose you to be the wielder of the heart long before you were born. They trusted me to keep it safe until you came."
"Wielder of the heart? What does this crystal actually do?"
"It possesses the power to make any enemy into a friend. With it, you will end the conflict and prepare your world for the coming war"
"how do i use this power?"
"Reach out with the heart and shine its light upon their mind"
"What does that mean?"
But then, the light faded from the statues eyes. I looked down at the crystal again. It had a faint red glow to it. I Stood up and walked towards the small passage
Walking back through the passage, i thought about what the guardian meant by all that.
"Reach out with the Heart and shine its light upon their mind"
It diddent make alot of sense to me. How am i supposed to shine light? Im not a paladin or a priest.
When i came outside again, i saw Kragosh guarding the still unconcious warlock. Her robes were slightly burned from the blast earlier.
I stopped for a moment and looked at the heart again. Use it to make enemies into friends, huh?
I walked over to the warlock and put my hand in front of her forehead. I focused on the crystal and noticed it began to glow much brighter. Then a small red lightball came out of the crystal and flew into the warlocks forehead.
A second after that, her eyes snapped open and glowed red for a moment. Then a glowing black Horde symbol apeared on her forehead.
I grabbed the hilt of one of my axes in case.
She stood up and...kneeled?
"I am at your service, master" she said.
I was confused. "What?" i said.
"uhhmm...What is your name" i asked still confused.
"Gralda Stoneburn, former felcaster of the shadow council"
"Former?"
"Yes, you have shown me the truth and the glory of the Horde. For that, i will serve you until the end"
When i recovered from my confusion, i looked again at the crystal in my hand. "So this is what the guardian meant. Make any enemy into a friend." i thought.
Soon, thoughts of what i could acomplish with this crystal, began to pop up in my head. I could make anyone loyal to me, i could conquer the Alliance. I could even take over the Horde with this, but im not gonna do that because im not a traitor.
I smirked and asked "Tell me Gralda, are there any more survivors of the shadow council left"
"No, this group was all that was left of it" she awnsered.
"Very well then" i said.
I would need to find out more about this crystals power. I would need to test it more.
"Kragosh, we're leaving" i said. The great rylak streched abit and spread its wings. I jumped in the saddle. "Jump on" i said to Gralda. She did as asked and sat behind me.
"Where are we going" she asked.
"Back to my garrison in Frostfire Ridge" i answered.
Kragosh took to the sky towards Frostfire. I had some planning to do.
The end of Chapter 1
