Arkanea
Prolouge
It's been a few years since the second coming of the Burning Legion. Peace had returned and the races thrived. For one man in Elwyn Forest, it was a return to his peacefull, though somewhat secluded, life. This is where our story begins.
One calm morning, as the sun began to rise over the ranges of Red Ridge, and the dew hung on the peaceblooms, Arkanea awoke in his cottage in Elwynn Forest. As he arose from his bed he donned his set of armor known as the Cryptstalker. As he left his peaceful house he could hear birds chirping in the distance. The Hunter calmly examined the ground, looking for the tracks of a Nightsaber. After a moment he spotted the prints he was looking for. So, he began his hunt for this beast. He needed food and money and he could keep the meat for himself and sell its fangs and pelt for some money.
"I think I'll go to Ironforge and see if there are any quests I can do," He thought. As he made his way to the town, he ran into his friend Bloodworks.
"Would you like to join me, I'm going to find a quest in Ironforge." He asked his friend.
"Sure, but let's ask Slayer and Chaosbringer if they would like to go too." The other night elf replied.
Arkanea paused, thinking about their two friends. The four of them had fought together during the second coming of the burning legion. Slayer was a human rouge with a short temper and killer instincts. Chaosbringer was a human warrior donned in golden armor who wielded a large ax. He was a kind-hearted, if somewhat oblivious, individual who you could always count on to have your back.
After a minute he nodded, "Sure, the more the merrier."
So, Arkanea and Bloodworks set off towards Stormwind to find Slayer and Chaosbringer. Their quest had begun.
The heroes needed to leave Elwynn and make their way to Stormwind. So, they mounted their Swift Striped Frostsabers and set off. As they rode, they came across an Orc warlock sleeping on the side of the road.
Bloodworks turned to Arkanea and asked, "Wanna' have some fun?"
Arkanea looked at the Horde, then back at Bloodworks with an evil smile. "Heh heh, sure lets…" He whispered into Bloodworks ear and his companion put on an evil smile.
Both men dismounted and crept up to the Horde, who was snoring loudly. Bloodworks silently withdrew his bow and strung an arrow. Meanwhile Arkanea snuck around him and pulled out a rope. On one end he tied a coal from the fire. He then walked over and tied the other end to Bloodworks bow. Then Arkanea gathered some pine needles, and scattered them about the Horde's cloak. When he was done, he withdrew his own bow and aimed it at a pinecone. Arkanea shot where it was connected to the tree. The pine cone hit the Horde on the head. Right as he woke up, Bloodworks shot his own arrow, with a burning coal attached to it, into the pine needles on the Horde's cloak. They immediately caught fire and the Horde began to jump around waving his hands at the flames.
"You're just fanning the flames, you know!" Arkanea laughed.
Bloodworks drew his sword and said, "If you want I can hit you with these swords, which are imbued with water magic, but you'll have to give us all your gear. Or you can just keep your burns and writhe in pain."
So the Horde took off all his clothes (except for his undergarments), and gave them all his weapons, money, items, and even his mount. Then Bloodworks hit the Horde with his swords which were actually imbued with fire magic. He howled and cursed as the fire consumed him. The men remounted their Swift Striped Frostsabers and rode off
"HEY, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING NOOB!!!" A man yelled.
Slayer walked through the town of Stormwind, browsing the stalls. He was waiting for Chaosbringer to arrive so they could leave. So, he decided to go to the tavern and look out the window at the fountain where they would be meeting. The bartender walked over and tapped him on the shoulder.
"What can I do fer' ya?" He asked, his accent clear. "I'd recommend a hard screwdriver mi'self."
"I want some ale." Slayer replied
"Ye sure about tha'?" He asked. "We got many exotic drinks."
"I want some ale."
"Are ye sure?"
Slayer withdrew his dagger and held it to the bartender's throat. "I said I want ale, you got that? Now bring it to me or I'll slit you good." He said in a deep rumbling voice.
"All right, all right you'll git yer ale. Just don kill me!" The bartender said.
Slayer put away his dagger with a content smile on his face. "Now that's more like it." He said.
Slayer sat and waited, drinking his ale. Suddenly a big hand clasped his shoulder. He turned around and saw a man dressed in red armor.
"Bloodworks, my friend, I haven't seen you in years!" Slayer exclaimed. "How goes it?"
"Not too bad, just been off terrorizing the Horde." Bloodworks replied. "I was just in the neighborhood, and I figured I'd look you up."
"Is that all?" Slayer asked in suspicion.
"I guess you know me too well." Bloodworks sighed. "I'm headed to Ironforge. I wanted to know if you would come with me."
"No need to ask, I'm in!" Slayer said. ""You might want to look for…"
"Arkanea is looking for Chaosbringer right now." Bloodworks said.
"Arkanea, huh?" Slayer asked "This will be interesting."
Bloodworks and Slayer left the pub to wait for their friends. Meanwhile, in another part of town, Chaosbringer was window shopping at the smithy which also happened to be a produce stall. While Chaosbringer was bartering with the blacksmith, Arkanea was negotiating with the produce man. Without even realizing it, both men walked right past each other. Chaosbringer then went to sample some wine. Arkanea searched a while longer but eventually returned to the fountain where Bloodworks and Slayer waited.
"Where's Chaosbringer?" Bloodworks asked.
"I couldn't find him." Arkanea replied.
"Did you check…" Slayer was interrupted by a loud crash.
"What the…" Bloodworks said in surprise.
Chaosbringer had come crashing out of the brewery naked, holding a bottle of wine. He then proceeded to climb onto the fountain and began singing.
"I love parties that never end, dogs that love cats and TWINS!!!"
Hours later, the four companions sat outside in the dirt. Chaosbringer was sober and tried to mumble out an apology. After everything had settled down, the guards had restrained Chaosbringer and eventually clothed him. Upon discovering his name and the names of his companions, the guards kicked them out.
"Oh this is just great!!" Slayer said angrily.
"I'm sorry." Chaosbringer said.
"Now what are we going to do?" Arkanea asked.
"I'm sorry." Chaosbringer repeated
"I guess we head for Ironforge." Bloodworks said.
"I'm sorry."
"Well, then let's go." Arkanea replied.
"I'm…" Slayer covered Chaosbringer mouth then yanked it away.
"Ow! He bit me!!!" Slayer exclaimed.
Kornak stood, gazing over his army that he had created. His jet-black wings folded against his back.
With a smile full of malice he spoke to them. "My loyal men hear me!! Today, we have amassed an army that has no equal. We shall gain honor and glory and they shall sing of our triumphs that are sure to come. We burst forth from Under City and spread like a plague, eliminating all who stand against us! No one can stop you, for you are proud Horde warriors!"
Cheering erupted from the men and Kornak grinned. He turned to leave and the guards snapped him a salute.
