Shadows Amongst Light (working title)
At last! I have finally gotten around to writing this damnable thing! I have been meaning to ever since I got Warcraft III, though the character is one of mine from World of Warcraft. As you know (if you have ever read "Stars in the Dark" anyway) I make funny disclaimers. Why you ask? Because disclaimers are stupid and unnecessary and I enjoy ridiculing stupid things. I mean, for the sake of the Twisting Nether, I'm writing a story, not conducting a hostile takeover here!
Also, I happen to have a PC on World of Warcraft on the Scarlet Crusade server (it's an RP server, so don't come if you're a jerk) With the same name as the main character of this story. If anyone would be willing to seek me out for some good old fashioned RPing I would be more than happy to oblige.
Oh and one more thing… Death to the Burning Legion! … and the Scarlet Crusade! …and the Cult of the Twilight! …and the Searing Blade! …and the Burning Blade! Err… wow I seem to have a lot of enemies… I wonder if the Burning Blade is recruiting…
Disclaimer: Death to the head executives of Blizzard! Ahh! Ok, ok! I'll write the disclaimer, just don't nerf warlocks again… please…
I am in no way connected or entitled to any special privileges toward the company called blizzard entertainment. I do not claim ownership of the game series that this story is based off of, which is composed of the Games: Warcraft, Warcraft II, Warcraft III, and World of Warcraft. I own only the characters of my creation, not ones that were featured in any of the aforementioned games, or the novels based off them.
Ok are you happy now? WHAT? Soul Drain now requires a Soul Shard? NOOOOOOOO!

Note: have made a change. Didn't feel like writing something. So I altered this chapter a wee bit.
Chapter One:
Desolate
Rekk stirred in his sleep, he never slept all that well in Desolace. It was something about the deep Demon taint that the land bore, whenever he was here his sleep seemed to be almost constantly plagued by nightmares.
His stirrings became more and more violent, until…
"NO!" He sat bolt upright, the most recent nightmare had been bad enough to rouse him from his sleep. It was doubtful that sleep would return to him, so he removed the thin sheet that served as his blanket and stood up, careful not to rouse Nimevere.
"a walk would be nice… though I should probably stick to the village if I don't want any… visitors…" He moved over to the flap of basilisk skin that served as a door for his tent, and walked into the night, stopping only to throw on a set of flowing robes which would protect him from the cold.
Though the majority of his strange Centaur allies were in other tents and yurts, a few scouts and even an earth caller were still out and about, ready to warn of any intrusion. The latter of which was nearby, the female mage threw him a passing glance before returning to whatever experiment she was performing.
He shook his head smiling. It never ceased to amaze him how even such "primitive" beings such as the Centaur still desired to expand their knowledge. It rely made him think positively for the eventual fate of Life kind.
Rekk looked over at what the Caller was doing. It took him but a moment to realize that he recognized her, it was Gerus a caller whom he had actually helped to teach elemental summoning to. He might have been a Warlock but the principle of the two arts was basically the same. He gave her a small bow, which she returned, and went on his way. He had hoped that he might be able to speak with the wise woman of the tribe, Uthek, but he saw now that her tent was shut and no light came from within. She was likely asleep, as he should have been.
Instead he climbed a steep hill that served as the rear wall to the woman's hut. Desolace might be well… desolate, but could still stare at the stars that littered the sky in an attempt to fight off his insomnia. Rekk was well conditioned and it didn't take him long to reach the summit, where he could see the night sky best.
He lay down and began to count off constellations.

Ta-Da! Well now that that's finished, I can finally say I started!
Kar Aman people!
