A/N: This is my first World of Warcraft fanfiction, and my first attempt at doing something like that. Usually I'm not really careful with details, though I've tried to be ok with all the amazing universe. I'm a happy WoW player, and this is a bit of a roleplay story about my main character, Kallanna. Have fun. xx
Chapter I – The Mission
Kallanna Glaivestorm was hunting in the magnificent Ashenvale forest for two days now. Enjoying the lack of official duty, Kallanna, one of the youngest druids in the Night Elf forests of Ashenvale patrolled calmly the lands of her childhood.
Her light blue skin and long bright blue hair somehow helped her mingle between the bushes she was hiding in. Crouching, Kallanna observed her surroundings: Huge trees rose from the floor every couple of feet, the ground was covered with grass and some randomly coloured flowers, and there were wild bushes like the ones she was hiding in every couple of miles. She knew bears and wild cats also shared this territory, but she wasn't worried. Even though something corrupted the land, the animals were still somehow respectful of her presence, just like she was of theirs.
Suddenly, a huge white tiger ran up to her. A reasonable person would run, but Kallanna just gazed at the tiger with her amber eyes, while it ran in her direction. Rising quickly from the floor her soft voice called for the animal.
"Reyan, is there something wrong?" she inquired.
The beast growled softly, and then roared. It seemed like the sound emanating from the large feline could make the leaves move, in a big and powerful sound wave.
"Ok, let's go to Darnassus." She patted its head and walked to the male tiger's side, sitting on his back.
Reyan ran out of the forest, with the blue haired female holding onto his fur for balance.
It was an old elven habit, her father said. Great warriors bounded with their sabers, a typical kind of tiger from their world, and they wouldn't be just their mounts, but their life companions. In war or peace, an elf and their saber could be seen everywhere. This was the case of Reyan and Kallanna.
The pair arrived swiftly to Darnassus, the elven capital, and the Saber directed her towards the temple of Elune, the moon goddess. By now, Kallanna knew the High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind, leader of the night elves, wanted to give her a mission.
Jumping from her saber in a sign of respect, the young druid entered the temple on her feet, looking up to the massive Elune statue at the centre of the temple.
"Elune- Adore Kallanna" Tyrande Whisperwind greeted her. "Would you please join me in the upper gardens?"
"High Priestess, I'd be honoured to follow you." Kallanna bowed, in respect to her leader, and followed her as she walked towards the ramp that led to the upper gardens of the temple.
The temple of Elune was the main temple of Darnassus. Even though the night elves didn't need a temple to worship their gods, Tyrande built one in Darnassus, for their priestesses and anyone who would need guidance. The temple had a colossal statue of the goddess in the centre, surrounded by a fountain. Water fell down from Elune's delicate hands onto the floor. Gardens surrounded the fountain, where grass , flowers and even medium sized trees grew under the watchful eyes of the priestesses. They, who swore to dedicate their lives to the mother of every creature, lived in the temple most of their lives.
On the second floor it wasn't so different. There were several plants around the edges of the walls, and small rooms, where they could enjoy peace and privacy for their prayers or for the state businesses. Kallanna was there for the second.
"Dear Kallanna, how have you been?" Tyrande asked the younger female. "You know I remember you when you were just a little elf... running around Darnassus, lost like a wild cat without a guide... Then you found your way."
"High Priestess..."
"I know the druid duties keep you occupied most of the time, but the business I have with you is of great importance my dear."
"How can I help, High Priestess of the mother goddess?"
"I have seen you with Humans before Kallanna. I've heard about your ideas for our race too..."
Kallanna lowered her head and looked at the floor. Her ideals were slightly different from most of her race, and Tyrande was probably going to lecture her.
"And honestly, I've seen what that brought upon you from your fellow druids. That, allied with your young age have you grounded under the Arch Druids bad influence."
Kallanna nodded silently. She was a female druid, one that showed her worth even before reaching maturity... one that thought Humans should be allowed to know more, that all the Alliance should be united by a common knowledge of each race that made a part of it.
"The mission I have for you will lead you away from it. From Ashenvale, and from Darnassus, on a greater good I hope. I must ask you though, to be silent about it until you reach your destiny. It's not only you the druids watch carefully." Tyrande spoke softly, and looked at Kallanna with a smile.
"Speak High Priestess. Even though leaving my land isn't a pleasant idea, if it's for my race, for Elune... I'll do it." Kallanna felt as if a fire was burning inside of her, and all she wanted was to know what Tyrande had to say.
"I'll give you a letter. You must take it to Stormwind, to King Varian Wrynn. It is a treaty between our races, one in which you have a crucial part."
"I'll be honoured to deliver such an important document to the human capital." Kallanna answered quickly.
"You will stay there."
"Until the treaty is signed?"
"No. You are part of the treaty young druid. It's your duty, if they accept, to serve in their army, to teach them everything you can about... us. You are young and used to deal with Humans, more than any elf I trust in, so I will give you this task."
Kallanna stood silently now, her mind going miles an hour, zooming in several of her memories. Humans were her friends when she grew up. Several of them were in Darnassus, and she talked to them, questioning about their methods, their habits, their king and generals, their...lives. She was never allowed to answer any of their questions though.
"Do you accept this quest Kallanna Glaivestorm, blessed with the power of druidism by Cenarius, son of Elune?" Tyrande asked her, in a serious tone.
"I, Kallanna Glaivestorm, druid of Darnassus accept my duty to my people, and to you High Priestess of Elune Tyrande Whisperwind." Kallanna answered, her amber eyes glowing as if fire was burning inside her.
"Leave tonight then my dear. Ande'thoras-ethil Kallanna."
"Thank you." Kallanna walked away from the temple, meeting Reyan in the way out.
The saber looked at her and growled.
"We'll leave soon my friend. Let's go home now... we have a long journey ahead of us."
Kallanna walked towards her house, determined to leave that same night.
