The Prologue

"FUCK!" I slammed my hands on my desk, infuriated at the screen. We had been raiding the Nighthold, just at Gul'dan, when he cast Desolate Ground, killing most of our DPS. Me included.

"Cheer up, butt, we got really close. Just, you know, try not to die next time." My friend, Sam, giggled from my headset, some others following behind him. (So sorry, forgot to introduce myself AHEM! I'm Percy, shut up, and I'm a 22 year old American. I'm an "active" WoW player, and I'm part of a diverse guild. 'Merican, Welsh; English; Scottish, you name it. Got one Irish, Toby, and he is our universal playtoy. Sam's Welsh btw, and I'm the only American. Shocker).

I groaned, "Well, you did a good job raid leading. Just, you know, make a better callout next time BOSS." Some ooos and snickers followed that, much to my pleasure. "Fair enough, fair enough, but at least I didn't stand in the fire."

Bastard, as I sat defeated. I was casting, what could I do? "Alright, can we just go again? Want that Jaraxxus toy." Another big ooo came from Shaun, "Oh, he's deflecting, boys. Get him outta here!"

"To my defense, weren't you standing in the fire, too?"

"Yeah, but I was busy tanking Gul'dan. I ain't got time for that."

I was about to retort, but I know I'll lose. My so-called friends are always out for blood. "Speaking of not having time, I've got to go. My nan's in town and we're taking a trip to visit early tomorrow. Let's call it a day and meet at, say, 7 tomorrow night. Alright?" I was a bit dismayed at Sam, but the real world always beats the virtual one. Always.

"Yeah sure, I've got work to do anyways. Let's not cast a heal on our inflated selves, yeah? See ya." Before he got to make a snarky comment I closed Discord; logging out to the home screen. I just stared at my main for a quick second, looking into his golden eyes. I played a Night Elf Mage, Arcane, and I loved him. I'm a huge Highborne fan, so I made him look like one, pink skin and white hair. I've been through a lot with him, ever since WotLK. I didn't play Vanilla WoW, was too young to even know what it was. As I got older I started playing online games, eventually making it to WoW. Unfortunately for me, though, Cataclysm came out soon after I joined; I didn't get to see Azeroth as it was before, only sparse areas. I was a solo player, living by the PvE, barely touching PvP. Facing players never took my fancy, I just wanted to kill some mobs. Then, I met Sam in Mists, our group still being pretty small. Eventually it grew, then we gained some popularity, taking the first kill on a new mini-boss. People wanted to join, but we never took anyone who couldn't match our timezones. When Legion came out we gained some energy, hoping that we could forget WoD (stuck there, forever...ugh). Now with the new Allied races coming out I can already see my Nightborne...whatever. Probably a Mage, but maybe a Rogue, haven't tried them out.

I shut down my computer, looking at the clock. 6:56, Ahh, I gotta get up early. Probably gonna get chewed out at for no reason, again. Taking my shirt off, I caught a quick glimpse of myself in the mirror on my door. Having a slightly toned build, I gave a little flex; laughing at my dorkiness. I layed down onto my one-person bed, never expecting company.

I closed my eyes, thinking of my friends names, their avatars, and our guilds name.

The Triumvirate.

As I laid there, I began to feel a little weird. Nothing too wrong, Probably just my fan going. It started to increase, so I turned over; pulling the blanket over me to stop it. That didn't help so I sat up, looking towards my fan, but it wasn't on. I started feeling drowsy, falling down onto my bed softly. Before I passed out, I saw the face of my avatar behind my eyes, his eyes flaring.

Darminus.

Hello there, friends! I've returned, again, and I'm adamant to finish this one. One of my favorite games is WoW, and I've always had a little temptation to write my own story for it. Recently, I've started to read fanfiction again, and I've been so inspired from them that I couldn't help myself. One thing I've noticed, so many female characters or OC stories, but so few male Night Elf ones, too. So, I decided to do a mix, Highborne OC Night Elf story, or HOCNE (waiting for the patent on that). This is just the beginning, and I hope that you guys are as excited as I am.
