Night elf male and blood elf female. Enjoy.
"I'm not gonna lie but this seems like a very bad idea." I said.
"It's fun to watch the ally duel it out here. They also show off their mounts and pets. I wish we did that." The male Paladin said.
"We do, just not in a tiny town like this one." I said.
After the dethroning of the prince, Keal'thas, things have changed. The new regent lord brought in new advisors. One of these advisors is the father of my two friends who happen to be brothers. Although I noticed the two boys have been acting weird, I wouldn't stop hanging out with them. I was with one of the brothers, a Paladin named Tamaesen. We went over to some of the neighboring lands to buy some goods from different markets. We were both looking for new scriptures that we both can read. He was decked out in all of his armour as I wasn't. He was blonde blood elf with his hair up for the time being. When we weren't in our armour, and just roaming around town, his long blonde hair would fall longer than my own. I was in just a simple robe with a white top and a red bottom to it. My espresso brown hair was in a lazy ponytail with some of it touching my face. I had gloves, shoes and belt on but nothing that could protect me from any real danger. Thinking that we would go to some capital cities and get some scriptures. Tamaesen, decided to be a little adventurous. Since I was acting as if I was an advisor/protector, I wasn't in the place to refuse.
"Young master, we've been here for two hours. We must get going before someone sees us. They'll use you as bounty for the Lord." I tried to reason with him.
"Zarayliel, I am more than capable of protecting the both of us. And please, don't call me young master, we've been friends since we were in diapers." He stated.
"I realize that Tama. But there are so many, the last thing I need is to have you come back in pieces." I argued back.
"Zara we are here for a purpose." He said.
'If I was in complete armour, I would be fine with watching people duel, but I'm not. Look Tama, can we please go. I would love to read some of those scriptures we found." I purposed.
"Zara, I actually brought you out here to talk to you, away from my brother." He said.
I raised my eyebrow as I came a little closer to him. He turned around and came close to me. He was a little too close to me. I placed my hand on his chest, pushing him back a little indicating he was too close. He placed his gloved hand on my cheek, moving the dark brown hair from my face. My heart was fluttering fast, but not of excitement. I had no idea what he was about to do, although he was he nicer brother out of the two he was still a spoiled child. He and his brother always got what they wanted.
"Tamaesen." I called out.
"Hmmm." I just hummed.
"What are you doing?" I said, placing my hand on his wrists.
"Making my move." He said, bringing me against the chimney of the inn, pinning me to it. His hands were holding mine up over my head.
"Tamaesen, you are scaring me, please stop." I plead.
"Do you realize how beautiful you are? Not only the looks but the way you find beauty in everything, your clumsiness. Even if you are sick, I can find a way to cure you." He said, going in for the kiss.
"Tama!" I screamed, pushing him away with arcane magic. It was an accident but he seemed more stunned that I pushed him away than what it was that pushed him away.
"Zara, I didn't realize... do you love him?" He asked.
"Huh?" I looked dumbfounded.
"Oh, thank god." He said hugging me. "Non'daras isn't someone you want to be with."
"Tama, let go," I ordered, he let me go once more. "I don't have feelings for you, your brother or anyone. I'm too invested in my studies. I value you as a friend more than I do a lover."
"You realize he will get what he wants, sooner or later." He stated the dark truth.
"He won't do anything that'll get him in trouble with Lor." Though I know he wanted to change it so badly.
"Just give me a second to collect myself before we go back." He said, sitting back down on the roof. "I won't tell him anything that happened today."
I gave him a half smiled before sitting down towards the back. My nerves are going nuts as my hands shake. I felt bad for pushing him like the arcane magic to come back and haunt me. It was same magic that sent my father mad. With his genes, it could very well send me mad too. I heard a peak of excitement come from the young blonde as he laid down, watching the duels once more. He looked over with sparkling eyes and motioned for me to come over. I rolled my eyes and got up from my somewhat comfy position.
"What is it?" I asked, making my way over there. I lay down so no one could see me, I watched him as his smiled only grew.
"I don't think I've seen an impressive warrior like that before." He said pointing.
I looked over and there was one male, dressed in all black plate armor with glowy magic coming out the holes. The ears were a dead giveaway that this man was a night elf. I studied him more, but there wasn't a lot to go by. I was sure he wasn't a warrior, though. There was a certain aura around him suggested otherwise that he was, in fact, something more powerful than a warrior. All the same, he was still pretty impressive to look at.
I took a closer look at the male. The armor was custom made,being that he had to be one of the higher generals of the Alliance. It meant whatever he was, he was more powerful than Tamaesen and me combined. The sword given to him was one that was acknowledged for the service in the Ashran against the horde. I started to feel uneasy about that man's presence. I tried nudging him away from the edge of the roof but Tamaesen wouldn't budge. One way to determine if he was a real danger was by looking at his eyes. As he took off his helmet a little bit, revealing his eyes, or at least the unnatural pale blue they are not supposed to be. My heart beat quicken and my adrenaline started to take over as I realized that he was someone I didn't want to notice me or Tamaesen. A high-ranking general that's killed some of our comrades and he's a fucking death knight. I have to get him out of here. I thought as I grabbed Tamaesen by the collar of his back plate and yanked him away from the street view. I silenced him so he didn' t make a sound. I could see in his eyes of what he was thinking.
Zara stop what are doing?
"I'm sorry, this is for our own safety. You'll thank me later or you may kill me. Either way, you are higher on said social ladder, you sacrifice yourself, I'll be in trouble." I said, opening a portal back to Silvermoon and pushing him in.
I could feel him try to grab me but it didn't work. I was able to evade him as he went through completely. Instantly, the portal closed after he passed through being that it was made for one person to go through. I knew he wanted me to go with him but I didn't want him to risk anyone following us through. He had his own and I had mine but since he wasn't listening to reason I asked rationally. I sighed in relief and turned around to see the male figure in all black standing on the roof of the Inn. My eyes widened as I tried to take a few steps back away from the male.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, he's gonna kill me. I thought before realizing that the Inn roof doesn't go on forever like I would have hoped for. I took one step and I felt gravity take over a little bit, making me fall towards the ground. I have no doubt I would survive the fall, I wouldn't survive the group of people down there making out with each other. I braced myself for the landing but the landing I was bracing myself for didn't happen. I felt something catch me a dark energy of sorts that lifted me up back to where I was standing again. I realized that he saved me from falling to my death. I wasn't at the edge of the Inn this time. I was in the middle of the roof, two inches away from the night elf death knight that stood before me. He was huge, so big that no one would know looking straight on that I was in front of him.
I started to breathe heavily, feeling tears come to my eyes as I was thinking this was the end. I closed my eyes and waited for the final blow. I could feel the cold coming off of his chest as he places his index finger on my lips. I could feel his lips near my ear, his cold breath sending chills down my spine. My eyes shot open with tears streaming down. He wraps his cloak around me. Out of nowhere he grabs me with his strong arms binding me to his chest. My mind went racing, thinking of all the things he would want with me. Could he want my body before killing me? Am I going to be his slave? Which sounded like a better offer than going back home and having an angry High Lord to deal with. I feel him take a deep breath in and I brace myself for something very bad.
"I'm not going to hurt you but I need you to stay quiet for a little bit." His low relaxing voice commanded of me in my native tongue.
I nodded as he let go, leaving me shaking violently. One part of me was shivering out of fear and the magic I was able to produce. I was still mainly shivering because of how cold his cloak really was. My eyes still watered but with relief instead of the thought of being at his mercy. He got his bag and rummaged through it. I watched his every move, making sure he didn't do anything out of the ordinary. He looked through some of the crystals before taking one and handing it to me. I blinked before he got up and placed it in my hand.
"It's a warp crystal that'll take you where you need to go." He said.
"I can't take this, I'm sorry." I said, trying to give it back.
"I have about fifteen more. I can spare one." He said.
I nod and go to take his cloak off, but he stopped me from doing that too. I looked at him again with a weird look on my face. He smiled gently and brought me in close once again. I was shorter than average blood elves by at least 3 inches but he was taller than your average night elf. In one split second his lips found mine. His cold lips gave mine shock but at the same time they felt good. He pulled back, leaving me in a state shock before activating the crystal.
"We will meet again. Do not forget about me, I certainly won't forget about you."
That was the last thing he said to me.
