Tales of the two Princes - Part 1: Before the Corruption

Chapter 1: Quel'thalas

"Ishnu'alah, your Highness." A calm voice came from behind him.

The Elven Prince turned round and saw a black-haired elf striding towards him.

"Rommath." He smiled and opened his arms for a big hug with his beloved friend.

They had been friends when he was still a toddler of the house Sunstrider. His Father, the great King of Quel'thalas, King Anasterian Sunstrider had always been stuck with works up to his eyes, so he decided to give his youngest son a friend, and that friend was Rommath. The young Prince had never wondered where the black-haired elf was from, since it didn't matter. He just enjoyed the company.

"So… You are free today, your Highness?" Rommath gave him a suspicious look. It was unusual for a Prince to wander around the garden in the working hour.

"Now, Rommy, how many times have I told you to call me simply, just Kael or Kael'thas is fine. Don't be always so formal." The Prince grinned in a friendly way. "And yeah, you caught me. I didn't come to the sword art class and I came here instead. Why do I have to keep on practicing while I have already won my teacher?"

"I see. Your High… Uh, Prince Kael." Rommath corrected his words just in time. "Though you are already a skilled sword user, you should never leave the class like that… It wasn't good you know…"

Kael burst into laughter, which brought Rommath to the conclusion that his leg had just been pulled.

"Aw… Can't stop laughing! I can't believe that I still can take you in with that old-as-the-hill joke!" After a while laughing, Kael found himself exhausted and breathed deep to calm down. "Okay, I will speak the truth. Yes, I am free. You think that my father will allow me to be absent from classes?"

The black-haired elf chuckled. Yeah, the King was strict about study, so he would never allow his sons to slip out of classes. Suddenly, Kael's expression went down, Rommath could see a little sadness on his face.

"Are you alright, Kael'thas…?" Placing a hand on the Prince's shoulder, Rommath hoped he could do something to cheer up his friend.

"Well, not really… Today I came here to tell you one thing, Rommy…" Kael's tone dropped down with bitterness.

The hand on the Prince's shoulder moved down to the Prince's hands and gently held them.

"I am always ready to listen, Kael."

The Elven Prince sighed deeply and looked directly into his friend's eyes. "I'm leaving to Dalaran."
