The chamber was black, nothing could be seen except for vague shapes. Even with the barely discernable shapes, a dwarf could pass for an elf, the vision was so bad.

"Everything is in Chaossss, from the wavesss of Darkshore all the way to the murky swamp of Black Morass," said the first shape, with a hiss.

"That was expected... Now... you said you had... something important... to report... Out with it," said the second, much larger, shape. This one spoke slowly, taking its time to say what it wanted.

"Yessss, I have newsss, on our cousssinsss to the west. A corruption hasss fallen onto them. They now wage war on the race known asssss the Night Elvessss. The bronze dragon flight hasss even joined into thissss battle."

"Hrrmm... this is... strange... I will... consult with... the others... You have... done well."

"There issss more. The time it took me to return hassss given the Elvesss the time they needed to defeat them. They are now sssealed behind an enchanted gate. There fliersssss can not even fly above it, the magic issss sssstrong. I know thissss because word travelsss fasssster then me and I had to disssguissse mysssself among them for a time."

"Good, good... let us hope... they do not... open that gate... we know not... what has... taken control... of them... but we do... know our own races... strengths... Is there... anymore?"

"None."

"Then I am... to go and... consult with... the others."

"Should I return to monitor the gate?"

"Yes... but if it is... reopened... do not take... the time... to fly back... Contact me... with this."

A bright flash lit up the room. The features of the two figures is finally revealed. The one with the hiss was a wasp, though the size of a large mountain cat. Its abdomen lit with the light, further brightening the room.

The chamber the two were in was a section of, what looked like, a bugs nest. Other creatures like the wasp were flying around, while many other types walked on the ground and walls. Some were like beetles, others walked like humans, but were broader and had an arm that ended in a larger pincher. Some were like caterpillars, but there legs stuck out from under there bodies and had a tail ending with a pincher.

But one figure stood out, even among this mismatched group. It was the one who created the light. He looked like a praying mantis, but much wider. Smaller beetles fluttered on and around him, constantly cleaning his carapace. The light finally faded, but the abdomens of the wasps stayed bright, adding a greening ting to everything, though slowly darkening.

"Remember... this talisman... has only one... charge... Use it only after... the gate... is opened," said the mantis creature.

"And what will happen, when I usssse thisss?" asked the wasp.

"The time... has come... we stop living... apart from... the world... If our cousins... to the west... have regained there... numbers enough... to wage a... war... then we must... warn the other... races... of our other cousins... to the north."

-So, thoughts? First story I've writen I've really liked, and thought I should post it here. It's not complete, I've only writen the prologue. If you guys like it enough, review it and tell me to continue it. I will continue this one, I'm working on chapter one as I type this.

This story requires a bit of lore knowledge and World of Warcraft knowledge. To clear up confusion, I will give you all the basics of what you need to fully understand it. First off, before The Sundering, there was a race called the Aqir. They were bug creatures of all types, and after the Sundering, two faction were split off, The Qiraji kingdom so the south west and the Nerubian kingdom in Northrend. My story is about a third faction that was split off on a island in the south. Later on, the night elves got into a war with the Qiraji kingdom (The War of the Shifting Sands). The night elves won the war and sealed the Qiraji behind the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj. All of this was witnessed by Zassra, our main character (the wasp guy), and it picks up from there in chapter one.-
