A/N:

I've had an urge to write a World of Warcraft story for quite a while now. I've had ideas bundled up in my head, and finally decided to get them down.

This is the tale of the characters created by me and my friend. Most characters depicted are played by me and a select group of friends I have whom also play the game.

Arrilla is my most prized character. You may notice that it's my pen name as well. Arrilla was my first main character that I got to the max level. Throughout that journey, I created a personality for her and she became almost like a role model. I use her name for all videogames and websites, though she spawned from WoW. Though she will always be my favorite character, she isn't the main character of this story. Rather, there's no true main character. It focuses on the group as a whole and the differences in everyone.

Please note that some events depicted happen in the game's quest storyline or lore. However, I do not go exactly according to it, so please don't make a fuss about things not being "accurate". It's not meant to be 100%, I'm just trying to have fun writing it. I decided to post it mostly as an easy way for my friends and family to read, but it's wonderful if anyone else out there gets enjoyment out of it as well.

Thank you for reading

PRELUDE

Arrilla

Post - Cataclysm

I fear that the end will come soon. Death's grip has latched on to every muscle in my body, tensing and disrupting my movements. The Naaru have grown silent and they are no longer with me. They fear for me. They do not wish to see me die. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I suppose I half expected to be dead already. What has kept me going is this world... the soil, the water, the fire, the air. All of them are a part of me and I share this wonderful world with them.

When I began my journey years upon years ago, I had a dream. I wanted to cleanse the elements across the worlds, to help them find serenity again and restore this balance which the elements have long lost. From the moment I was young I could hear the earth and the sea, the air and the distant flames. I was happy when they were, I was sad when they were and I shared a heart with them.

I have helped many, though not all. But that is enough for me now. You will learn, when you too have grown into a hero, that you will never conquer over all evil. A balance must be maintained... and that is what I have helped to preserve. That is what Thrall has taught me.

This will be my final stand, and though my body aches, I will fight on until my body hits the ground and I cannot move any longer. Until that last breath leaves me, I shall summon the power of the elements and defend my brothers and sisters of the Alliance, the Horde, and all of Azeroth.
