Episode 1 - The Prophecy

Northrend. The coldest place on earth. The place where the most devilish king ever lived. The place where a well known paladin had surrendered himself to the darkness, and finally emerged with the devil himself. But this tales never affected Arthas the most, since he was full capable of judging his own harsh decision. He had completely emerged with Ner'zhul the Lich King, but Ner'zhul just gave him advices and spoke to him through his mind, not gaining control over his body. The advantages seemed on the favour of Arthas as he received Ner'zhul's full power to control frost, ice and the full command of scourge, but there was something that disturbed Arthas the most. With his new power, he still couldn't stand a chance against Kil'jaeden and his Burning Legion.

Until one day...

"Your highness King Arthas!!! King Arthas!!!".

Arthas heard a cold voice of his personal advisor and the one he trusted the most, Kel'thuzad. Kel'thuzad had been fighting side by side with Arthas since the first day of the scourge campaign and managed to raise fear against those who dare to challenge the scourge themselves. A sidekick, in informal language. He also had dedicated all of his life saving Arthas's back and planning their own strategies against the Burning Legion and the new power in Lordaeron, The Forsaken. Simple to say, he was a genius. A maestro, of course.

"Yes, yes Kel'thuzad. I can hear you, I'm not deaf.".

"The Book of the Prophecy by Medivh. I managed to translated it into your language, fully translated.".

"Go on.", Arthas replied, shortly.

"Medivh predicted that the presence of a boy from other world will change everything, as he will unite the kingdoms under one banner... the alliance will fight against the legionnaire from hell and achieves victory when the leader of the legionnaire's head has been decapitated with a legendary cursed blade. The boy will also change a cruel and misguided king into a kind-hearted king as his name will be chanted with pride over the land. A frozen skeleton will be assisting him in uniting the factions even though the frozen skeleton was the once the worst enemy of all, maybe the worst bane of misery we have ever heard... that's all. My king, I don't understand even a single word.", Kel'thuzad spoke, sheepishly. Arthas knew he was embarrassed by noticing his frost sphere around him were getting thicker and thicker.

"That's because you're suck in literature.".

"I guess so, my king. Too bad the archmages in Dalaran didn't teach literature. But I've been thinking...", Kel'thuzad spoke seriously. Arthas knew there was something important with the prophecy, by judging at the serious look in Kel'thuzad's face (skull, actually).

Kel'thuzad added. "We should investigate more in this prophecy.".

Arthas looked puzzled. "I don't think this nonsence involves us."

"Yes it is, my king. Who is the cruel and misguided king as been told in this prophecy? What is the name of the legendary curse blade?", Kel'thuzad asked some critical questions, causing Arthas to wonder deep in thought. "My king?".

Yes you're right Kel'thuzad. I am the misguided king, and Frostmourne is the legendary cursed sword. How can I misjudge those important quotes?

"Kel'thuzad, here's my new order. You will fully incharge in a full scale campaign to find out the real meaning of this prophecy. And not to forget, search for the 'boy'. Dismiss.", Arthas ordered and walked to the frozen throne as he sat and let his minds roaming in deep thoughts.

Meanwhile in Konoha...

"Uh, dattebayo!!! So we have another continent in this world besides us, neh thick-brows? I thought the world is so small!!!", a blonde ninja was sitting in a ramen stall, talking with his friends while his mouth stuffed with ramen.

"Idiot. Your brain is small, not the world.".

"Neh, Lee. That's so unyouthful you know? I'm not that idiot, trust me.".

"Oh, sorry. Back to the story. This new continents are extremely dangerous, with plagues, disease and new creepy creatures lurking everywhere. I heard there are no ninjas there, just warriors and paladins, you know, just like the samurai.", Rock Lee paused for several seconds, drinking his green tea before he continued back his story.

"We ninjas are using chakra and the samurai are using ki here. Bt the things go diffirently in the new continent, they use mana, some sort of chakra-controlling style I guess. Besides that, they're using magics and spells replacing jutsus.".

Naruto's eyes were big-sized that time. Even Rock Lee could notice the desperate look of more power, by looking at Naruto. Yeah, Naruto was that enthusiasm, but this time Rock Lee can feel that he was not just enthusiatic, but hunger for power as well. And there was something evil with that. "Neh thick-brows, we are now in eastern continents, which consist of elemental countries and Pandaren countries, right?"

"Yes, Naruto. I don't know you are quite smart, impressing."

"He he he, I wish I could lay my feet on the shores of western continents, the new continents. By the time I get back here, I will be even stronger than all of the Hokages here!!!", Naruto yelled in determination with Rock Lee applausing him, shocked all of the customers in Ichiraku Ramen.

"I rather stay at home and play shogi with my father. That's what I call an interesting way to be stronger.", a voice suddenly appeared behind those teenagers.

"Ohayo, Shikamaru.", Rock Lee greeted Shikamaru and inviting him to sit next to Naruto.

"Knock it off Shikamaru."

"Ah, Naruto, the council ordered you to meet them now."Shikamaru patted Naruto's shoulder, as Naruto started to ran towards the Hokage office.

"Until we meet again!!".

"..Only if we will meet again, my friend", Shikamaru sighed, getting Lee's attention. "Why, Shikamaru?".

"I heard the Konoha Council will be sending Naruto alone to the new continents. And the continents are extremely dangerous you know? Damn the council!!!".

"What the hell? Shikamaru, can your father do anything about it? He's the leader of Nara clan, I bet he can convince other clans to oppose the mission.. that's suicidal!!!", Lee nearly yelled in anger and frustration. How can Konoha did this to an innocent ninja like Naruto? This was preposterous. A suicide.

"Dammit, it was that old fuckin' Danzo and the Konoha elders' plans. Even the Akamichi, Hyuuga and Yamanaka Clan didn't agree with the mission, but those elders controlled the council. Tsunade-sama couldn't do anything at all."

"Naruto, please come back safely. I just don't want to lose another friends of mine...".

"Me too, Rock Lee...".
