Ch. 1

-Disclaimer: I don't own World of Warcraft or anything else in this story except the plot and Adaya; Arikk is a friend of mine in the game and allowed me to add him in the story. No copyright infringement intended.

-Rated T for mild violence and other "stuff" that might happen in later chapters…

Adaya wasn't looking forward to coming home but she knew she had to. The king had accepted her back but she wasn't allowed to rejoin the army incase she decided to rejoin the Lich King…like she would. That, for lack of a better word, monster had made her life hell! Some day she would make him pay…someday she would kill him! Today, however, was not the day. She had her sister to find as well as a job. She wondered if she would even recognize Adiss. Adaya had changed so much in the past two years; wouldn't Adiss have changed too? What use to be black curly hair was now straight chestnut brown hair, and her skin had tanned from being in the sun too often. She saw some of her childhood friends but they pretended not to remember her, or maybe they really didn't remember her. She had been gone for two years. Two years seemed longer than it was.

"Thanks Dobbins." She said nodding to the barkeeper who had kept her glass full. He was one of the few people who had stopped looking at her as a Death Knight and saw just the 19 year old girl she was. "You don't happen to know a girl by the name of Adiss do you? She would be about 17 now."

"No, miss, I don't; might want to check with Alison, the innkeeper in Stormwind. She knows everyone in Stormwind." Dobbins replied.

Stormwind.

"Alright, thank you again Dobbins." She went outside and untied her pinto and started towards Stormwind.

---------------------------------------

No one knew anyone by the name of Adiss Leado! Not one person! This day could only get worst if it started raining! She decided to look for work over in Hellfire Peninsula that town always needed more people who could manage a sword not that she liked it but it was a way to survive.

"Miss Leado? Your port is ready." The mage said turning to her. She nodded and stepped through. The teleportation took all of half a second…but that didn't make Adie like it any more. It took just long enough to make her queasy. She would have preferred to ride a horse but you can't ride a horse in space. Oh well. A girl can't have everything in life. Once there she noticed the new recruits. Quite a long line. And there at the end was none other than Theopotent.

"What are you doing here!" she said walking over.

"Well, Adie, I am here to volunteer to fight against the Scourge. This is where people who want the Scourge defeated go, not for the Scourge to come for sympathy." He replied, smirking. Oh, how she hated him!

"I'm not looking for sympathy! I work against the Scourge! I hate the Lich King and someday I will kill him! And since when do you volunteer to do things? What's in it for you? Just trying to impress some blood elf girlfriend I'd bet!" the blood elf reached for his sword but she was faster. "Stay away from me Theo and I might, I repeat, might let you live." She said holding her Greatsword of the Ebon Blade against his throat. He gave her a quick nod and she moved away. Ah, the power of persuasion. To think that three years ago she was secretly planning to marry him! What had she been thinking?

"I need to see Dumphry." She said walking up to one of the soldiers. He took one look at her and said "The Scourge will not be tolerated here!" she didn't like him already. "I need to see him." He shook his head. A man came out of the room where she knew Dumphry was, he looked over towards us and came over.

"What's going on here?" He asked. A Fel Hound now stood at his heels.

"This…Death Knight was trying to get in to see Dumphry. Up to no good if you ask me." The guard said glaring at her.

"I will accompany her in. No harm with come to Dumphry." The warlock replied gesturing for her to lead the way. "Do you have a name, lass?" he asked her as they walked over to Dumphry's room.

"Jah, it's Adaya Leado." she said turning to look at him. He looked older with grey hair but his eyes sparkled with life. He had a few scars on his face but nowadays almost everyone did. She turned back around smiling to herself and mentally crossed her fingers that she wouldn't fall in love after all they had only just met.
