Bruised again, she was always covered in bruises. None knew, they couldn't see them because they laid beneath her clothes. It was only when he came home, when she did something that set off his volatile temper. He was the one that she had chosen after her first husband had been killed and mutilated by orcs, he had been the one to help her when she had been dragged to his camp. She had not known him deep inside but she was so desperate to be loved again. She had returned to the village where she left her children only to find it razed and their small bodies charred beyond recognition, only the silver gleam of the necklace that her daughter wore is what identified them, their hands clenched and curled in fear of the doom that had surely awaited them.
Kaylai Nightstorm remembered that terrible time well. She had left so many tears upon the impromptu graves she had set up there, not being able to see her way to removing their bodies from the home that they had known for so long. She had just lain there and cried for so long that she didn't notice when night had fallen. She came every day to attempt to make sense of this tragedy, her village was out of the way for the path of devastation the Orcs had wrought when they first invaded Kalimdor.
She sat there again, as she did every day, today she decided to sing to her children, hoping that they could hear her in Elune's realm. She heard the soft crunch of leaves behind her. She looked up into the eyes of an elf, his sword held tight, ready to take the killing blow. His red and blonde hair blew in the slight breeze and his green eyes regarded her with a practiced hatred.
"Just do it, please, there is no living for me after this" Kaylai pleaded, her voice soft but thick with the tears she continued to shed.
Perhaps it was something in her voice, some way about her. His sword lowered slowly and then fell to the ground and landed in the soft grass with a quiet thud.
"Why won't you do it? Please, end my suffering!" Kaylai cried, fresh tears rollnig down her cheeks
"If you are so eager to die, why don't you just do it yourself?" The blood elf asked
"I have not the strength, I am a coward overall. Please, I beg you to just end my suffering and end it quickly."
