Author's note: Hello everyone, I'm new to the writing portion of this site but have been a longtime reader. I finally decided to submit a story of my own. It is a WoW fic and I am a WoW nerd, there I said it. Please keep in mind that the prologue is the only part of this story that will be in first person. The rest will be in third...obviously. Anyway. World of Warcraft is a copyright of Blizzard Entertainment, all settings, NPC's, and elements belong to them.
I don't remember too much about where I came from. However, I vividly recall what had happened the night I was found.
The thunder rolled and the winds howled, carrying with them screams and pleas of terror. Rain poured down upon my crude hiding place. My crate slightly muffled the sounds of violence and destruction that commenced outside. Loving faces of fellow elves had left me with their tearful smiles not a few moments before stowing me away and leaving my life forever.
Terrifying noises which seemed to last an eternity came to rest just mere minutes later. It was done, my family was gone and I was alone. Abandoned. Orphaned.
I could hear grunts and shouts of a strange language accompanied with sadistic laughter. Sounds of vandalism: wood splitting, cloth ripping, and glass shattering filled the night air. I began to cry out of fright, giving myself away.
The top of my box was torn open and I was greeted by a rough, blue face with long nose, red eyes, and tusks that protruded out and up to the creature's cheeks. His odd shaped head crowned with a blood red mane to match his evil eyes. He gave me an evil smile and licked his purple lips, raising an object above his head.
A flash of lightning, a crash of thunder, and the creature was obliterated as I continued to bawl. I hear a whisper and sounds of shushing that stifle my cries. I am lifted and wrapped in sheet. I met the gaze of dark eyes. This face was different. It had pale skin, a bulbous nose, and a bushel of golden hair. This face was warm, comforting….friendly.
"Well look at you." The friend greeted me and I smiled.
I was wrong, my family had just found me.
