Note: Aethas POV (point of view) at beginning of story. Lor'themar POV in the middle and towards the end.
Aethas POV:
It was nighttime in Quel'thalas. Everything is at peace, and the streets of Silvermoon City were empty. Everyone went off into their homes to sleep, getting ready for the next day. All of the buildings had no light on except for the Spire. Archmage Aethas Sunreaver was busy getting paperwork ready for a meeting in the morning. Piles of paper and books were stacked high on his desk. He reached over to grab a sheet from the top of one pile and grabbed a quill from a desk drawer. Dipping the quill in ink, he started to write something down when he fell over on his desk and went to sleep.
Aethas woke up on a purple and gold rug at the top of a stairway. Looking at the surroundings, he saw his Sunreavers lined up in a row at the bottom of the stairs and in front of them two elementals with a woman that had white and yellow hair, wearing a purple and gold robe. "Aethas Sunreaver!" she yelled.
Noticing that voice, he quickly stood up to see what she wanted. Her elementals were killing his Sunreavers and he quickly grew worried. She continued, "You betrayed the Kirin Tor, Sunreaver. You've allowed Garrosh to move his forces through MY city!" Walking down the stairs, Aethas knew something was wrong. "You have it all wrong, Jaina. I did nothing." He said. Jaina glared at him. "You looked the other way. You and your insubordinate kind are no longer welcome here." Aethas, now getting angry, walked closer to her. "This is OUR city too, Proudmore." He said. Walking closer to Aethas, Jaina grinned. "Hah! I see. I will remove the Sunreavers by force then. You. Aethas, will be coming with me." She casted him in ice and imprisoned him within the Citadel.
Jaina left and the Mage Commander appeared, incased him with Arcane Magic and put him up in the air. Moments later, Grand Magister Rommath and a team of champions killed the Mage Commander and set him free. Rommath casted a portal and said, "Aethas, this way! Into the portal!" Aethas followed as they teleported into the sewers, ran to the opening, and jumped on Dragonhawks to go home.
Aethas quickly woke up from what was not a dream, but a flashback to a purge that was his fault. His red hair filled with tangles and bags under his eyes. He looked around to find his ink spilled on his paper and his right hand covered in it. Staring at his hand for a few moments, he stood up from his chair and cleaned his hand. I wish I did not have to go to the meeting. Aethas mumbled. He cleaned up his desk, and went to his closet to get ready. When he came out, he wore a red and gold long sleeve robe. Aethas walked over to open his door. Looking out into the hallway, he only found a couple of guards. He smiled, walked out into the hallway, and shut the door behind him.
Walking into the main room of the Spire, he saw Regent Lord Lor'themar, Rommath, and Ranger-General Halduron deep in conversation. Trying not to disturb them, he started to walk back down the hallway. "Ah, Aethas. You're here." Lor'themar said glancing at him. Aethas turned around and walked over to the trio. "Yes, I was informed to come to the meeting." Aethas said. "Well, you came just in time." Halduron said. "We are discussing how to go into Kul Tiras to get revenge on Jaina." Aethas looked at him and grinned. "Good to know. The Sunreavers lost many in the Purge." Then Aethas glanced at Rommath who looked deep in thought. "What do you think Rommath?" Rommath looked him with a death stare. He said, "I think it is a good idea. Jaina is the one who started the civil war in Dalaran."
