Yousei's Story

Yousei's Story

Chapter 1

In the shattered world of Outland, lies the city of Shattrath: a sanctuary, a shelter, a beacon of hope, a crossroad to all, a melting pot of races and cultures. Tucked away ageist the eastern wall, hides a small pub known as the 'World's End Tavern'. For when the troubles of the worlds gets too much, people turn here to drown there problems away in its sweet ale and distractions. The tavern was filled with odd types: a large Ogre whom had taken a whole serving counter to himself, a down-on-her-luck Ex-Rogue Trainer, a few 'famous' types, and a rather ugly cyborg with an attitude problem and his own table in a side room.

In another side room, on the other side of the abolishment, two people sat across from each other. One was male, Human, with dark hair, whose bangs hung down around his face, which was soft and rather kind, and this fact annoyed him to no end. He wore long dark robes with streaks of red, and had a small imp at his side.

The other was female and a Night Elf. She had fair purple skin, her eyes glowed white with an ancient power, which coursed in all her peoples veins. Long ears that stuck out and back from her white hair. Her hair itself was tied back, her bangs parted and hung along the sides of her face. From her shoulders to her feet, rested a spotless white and blue robe, that seemed to have a soft, holy glow.

The two made small talk, discussing of new and old events. They reminisce about past victories. The male chuckled and took swigs of his ale, finishing off the last bit in his mug. The girl shook her head, smiling, having finished her ale some time ago. The imp simple played with his toes out of boredom. Just then, a third entered and sat with them. Her white hair covered part of her face, which was an intrusting shade of blue, two horns adorned her head which curled back and down by her ears. She also had four tentacle-like stands that hung down from behind her ears, as well as hoofs and a short tail with two rings along it. She also bore a robe; it was lined with flame red and yellow patterns.

"Hey Yousei. Hey Ryuu." Said the Draenei, "What are you two going back here?" she asked, smirking.

The male, Ryuuzachi was his full name, shook his head with a sigh, "Hello Anastasiya. Shouldn't you be out stalking some poor unsuspecting boy?"

"Be nice, Ry-Ry." The Night Elf, Yousei, cut in, "We don't need you two to start wiping out your spells again. Remember what happened last time? It took me the better part of the day to get you two standing again." She played with her empty mug, running her finger along the rim.

"Oh, relax. We promise to be good." Ana said assuring, "Right, 'Ry-Ry'?" she teased.

Ryuuzachi grunted, annoyed that his glass not yet been refilled, "We were just talking about the good old days. You know, before your people crashed into our planet and before the Dark Portal started spewing out legions of demons."

Ana tilted her head, "Oh? You two have been together for a while now, huh?" she continued to smirk suggestively.

Yousei flushed, "No! No no no! We've just been partners, travel companions, for a while. Nothing like…we've never…just…ew. No." She shuttered.

"I think I've just been offended." Ryuu said with fake hurt feelings. "I thought we had something special, Yousei! But I guess I was wrong!" a small smirk spread across his lips.

"Stop that! You're not helping!" Yousei pouted, placing her mug back on the table.

Ana giggled, "I'm just bugging. But it does bring a question to mind. Exactly how, in the name of the Naaru, did a Priest like you and a Warlock him end up traveling together and not kill each other after all this time?"

Ryuuzachi broke out in laughter, almost falling out of his chair, "By a complete fluke and a mistake that was somewhat my fault."

"'Somewhat' indeed. It was your entire fault." Yousei huffed, "Just yanking me to the middle of Westfall like that. No warning at all! Do you have any idea how many people were worried sick about me?!"

"Yep!" Ryuu had a huge grin on his face, "It was wondrous! One of my first makings of chaos." He chuckled to himself.

Ana, now completely lost, spoke up again, "Um, maybe you should start at the beginning. You're losing me a little."

Yousei nodded, "Oh, right, of course. Well, where to begin…."
