(Midday in Ogrimmar a Blood Elf Rouge sits in the Inn located in the Valley of Strength)
"Some more Honeymint Tea my good umm….. Sir?" I sat on the uncomfortable bar stool looking straight into the green face of an annoyed orc. "listen here pinkie first off my name is Morag, Second thing is this is a bar if you are going to be sitting here and taking up space you need to get something more stronger than that sissy drink your have there" the orc said as he filled up what had to be a keg sized mug with some sort of pungent liquid and handed it off to a Tauren who sat two stools away. "Im sorry umm… can I perhaps have a glass of Eversong Wine if you have any?" he looked at me as if he gave up. He sighed "Sure thing pinkie coming right up." I relaxed and reminded myself that this was a safe place, no sooner had that thought crossed my mind when a large axe suddenly buried itself a foot into the barstool next to me splitting it right down the middle like a banana. "TAI! BY THE SUNWELL CONTOL YOUR SELF!" I yelled at the slender figure that squatted next to me pulling the axe up, usually my sisters scenes would have the Silvermoon royal guard dragging her away kicking, but not here instead this act of brutish destruction was met by cheers from the bar patrons around us. A troll approached my sister his green dreadlocks covered his face. "Why hello there mon why don't we find a place where there aren't no spoil sports" he said glancing at me "Sounds like a good time, Don't wait up for me Rei" she said giving me a wink and walking out with her new friend trailing behind checking her ass out as she swaggered out of the inn.
My name is Rei Rurike and I am a Sin'dorei or as we are more commonly referred to a Blood Elf. If you want to know a little of my background I was away training in the Rouge arts during the destruction of Quel'Thalas. And was along with Lor'themar Theron as he removed the remnants of the undead scourge from our home and reclaimed it for our people once more… "Scourge…." I whispered the word under my breath, even the thought of those beast had my blood boiling I griped the glass that Morag just brought to me "Enjoy pinkie" I was too lost in thought to answer I just gave him a slight nod, he looked at me as though he understood and went to the other side of the counter breaking up an argument between two grunts who must have had one too many drinks. "SOMEONE GET A ROPE!" I nearly fell backwards first words that exited my lips where. "Shit! Tai what did you do?" I ran out of the inn onto the streets of with Morag's voice following me. "HEY YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THE STOOL!" I ignored it fearing for what my sister had done this time. I ran straight into the muscular green back of a city grunt, he turned and looked down at me. "Eh what's your problem?" I got up back to my legs shakily. "I umm I'm sorry I was just wondering what's ummm… going on? Does it involve a blood elf female who can't control her temper?
He pointed to the street and I that's when I saw it. Coming in thru the main gates getting greeting by booing, threats, yells of outrage and a torrent of rotten fruit was one of them. The most terrifying of the Lich kings champions, Mounted on the back of what appeared to be an unholy steed. My breath quickened my rage was quickly rising ."A death knight…" I said without realizing it "Yes it must be a gift from the scourge, give us something to take our frustrations on" The orc smirked a wicked grin. The monster had black armor on and dismounted and headed in to speak with our Warchief. "Why… How did he get into Ogrimmar?" I asked but no one answered I suppose they were thinking of various ways to eliminate this intruder once the official order had been given but for now… for some reason the guards did not touch him. My hands with minds of their own met my hips and I gripped my daggers. Then suddenly our Warchief spoke his voice boomed throughout the city. "Horde, hear the call of your Warchief! Today marks the first of many defeats for the Scourge! Death knights, once in service of the Lich King, have broken free of his grasp and formed a new alliance against his tyranny! You will welcome these former heroes of the Horde and treat them with the respect that you would give any ally of Ogrimmar! For the Horde!" What in the name of…. Death knights… Allies… how could this be? Those beasts are responsible for countless murder and slaughter. The black armored knight stepped out into the street once more. He was not met by yells, flying objects or violent outburst. He instead had countless eyes of wary citizens studying him. Almost leisurely he marched thru the crowd that dissipated a path for him letting him pass. Things where strange indeed, I had to keep an eye on him, he must be up to something. He's an agent of the scourge a walking monstrosity though… he didn't seem menacing now.
As I prepared to stealth into the shadows two strong arms pulled my body hard against a slender but hard tummy, the impact to my head was strangely cushioned. "Just let it happen…. I'll make you see heaven" a familiar voice whispered. "Tai you know I hate it when you do that" I said annoyed my eyes staring blankly ahead "Now get my head out of your breast" she replied throwing her head back and laughing "Oh c'mon you little fairy lighten up you know you love it" after her statement she moved my head in a reverse motorboat manner, my body limp in disbelief I continued my annoyed glare "Please stop it… people are staring…" Tai knew that when it came to strength she had me beat and she took full advantage of this every time she could, a troll shaman passed by almost tripping over himself as he stared at the spectacle. "OK THAT DOES IT" I had the last straw, before she knew it I was out of hands (and breast for that matter) and behind her entirely. Before she had time to react my fist met her kidney and she was down "You know I hate resorting to violence" rolling on the ground looking as she was about to cough up blood she spurted "Dam it I hate it when you shadow step on me. That's cheating!"
I looked around for my original target, he was nowhere in sight. "See what you made me do? Now I lost him, thanks a lot Tai" She slowly got back up on her feet but was slightly hunched over she had a look in her eye that said 'I'm going to slug you, instead she proclaimed suddenly regaining her stamina "I saw him first, and when I get him alone, you best believe I'm gonna give him a proper Horde welcome" She then brandished her axe a menacing grin adorned her pretty face. "Hell no, you're going to go cool off, go grope some Tauren or something you love doing that" But before I could finish my sentence she was off. I would usually just let her go on her little fools errands. This time was different there was real danger, I knew if I got in her way it would not go well for me so I sheathed into the shadows keeping up with her pace. What is this uneasy feeling that I'm getting...
