Based on the fanfic work of the acolyte of zero by shadeknight123, a single warcraft 3 night elf wisp if transported to the realm of thedas during the time of DAI. Trouble ensues probably.
The wisp was at a lost at what to do. The little ethereal night elf worker was currently roaming a strange green landscape filled with the strangest of landmarks.
"Could this be the world editor?" it thought "No, no it can't be right, One doesn't move to from the campaign straight to the world editor, not to mention remembering about it"
The last thing the wisp remembered was accompanying Malfurion Stormrage and the warden Maieve in an offensive against Illadam's forces.
The mission's objective was achieved the eye of Sargeras was destroyed exploding into a million pieces, but by a strange twist of fate this one wisp was caught in the blast and was sent here instead.
Ever since said incident,the wisp had not received a single order from a commander or the giant purple hand in the sky. It didn't know how long it stood in the same spot before deciding to move around the place on his own.
Moving without being commanded was against protocol, but given how abnormal the present circumstances were, it decided that maybe actions against standard protocol were required.
On it's stroll around the place, it encountered several strange units milling about, perhaps they were part of an expansion or mod thought the wisp. They paid it no heed or care which was good, worker units had little little health and the wisp had guessed that these new units like the gargantuan horned giant with multiple sets of eyes could easily rip it to shreds.
The wisp had also encountered what he had thought to be other wisps units as well, that it was until it got closer and saw that these wisps were glowing floating torsos. Not wisps.
Suddenly a small explosion had occurred close to the were the wisp was. When the wisp had looked to the direction of the blast, a strange green tear appeared in this place.
The wisp felt strange, as if the green tear was calling out to it. It wasn't the only one that felt that way. Some of the other units it had encountered had started moving towards it, upon coming in contact with it the units were bathed in green light before teleporting to who knows where.
"It's calling me?" thought the wisp "the only ones that can call on me are… commanders.." acting on this new deduction the wisp floated towards green portal hoping to return to regular gameplay…
Bianca had scored a shot straight into a lesser shade's face and for that Varric couldn't be happier.
The master storyteller just knew that this would happen, sure getting to the temple of sacred ashes (or whats left of it) to close the breach wasn't exactly a wake in the park, But just reaching to the base of the demon spewing portal without anything to guard it or ambush their party? Yeah shit was about to go down soon his inner storyteller was telling him.
And he was right when pride demon had appeared when elven girl Ellana tried to seal the breach. Which has lead to their current predicament.
Ellana casted a freezing spell on the pride demon's leg to immobile it temporarily before trying to seal the breach with her glowing hand. It wasn't closed but it did weaken the pride demon considerably.
The seeker and Solas the elven apostate seized the opportunity and bombarded it with a mix of sword strikes and magic bolts.
Varric meanwhile backed up Ellana as she dealt with the new demons that came out of the breach, 2 more shades and what he could have sworn was a sparkly ball of light. He had loosed several arrow at one shade killing it after the 4th arrow to it's head. Meanwhile Ellana casted another freezing spell towards the other and then promptly blew it to bits with a fire spell.
A loud thud had drawn Varric and Ellana's attention, appearantly Cassandra and Solas had managed to bring the giant demon to it's knees.
"Quickly, close the breach once more and the weaken demon's will return to the fade" shouted Solas.
Ellana gave a firm nod before casting her glowing hands towards the portal again. Green lighting shot out from her hand as she tried to close it for good this time.
The pride demon was sucked back into the tear along with some of the shade corpses before it exploded. Sending a shock wave that climbed up the breach which then resulted in another shock wave that spread across the valley.
The breach wasn't closed as many had hoped but at least it wasn't raining demons anymore.
Everyone present in the temple looked at their supposed saviour only to find her collapsed on the ground, hand still flicking with green light.
Cassandra quickly ran towards the girl and checked for a pulse.
"She's alive, quickly sent word to haven to prepare a healer." Shouted the seeker, on cue one of Nightingale's scouts saluted and ran down to the town. Cassandra had placed her shoulder to Ellana's side, carrying her along.
Their new bald mage friend stared the breach for a moment before joining the others on their trek down the valley.
Varric himself was about to go when he noticed that the light ball demon was still here and to his horror was slowly following the seeker.
"Seeker heads up" He yelled before losing an arrow toward the little light. It arrow struck but didn't down the thing. It looked towards varric and then to Ellana whom was now supported with a seeker with a sword in her hand and a scowl on her face that perfectly expressed her 'I will end you' feelings she had toward the thing.
Several more arrows come towards with courtesy of Leliana's scouts, although all of them missed their mark.
It was then the light ball did the unthinkable, it ran away. Already well out of the range of any of the archers present.
"Go after it, it might endanger those in the valley." Cassandra ordered a few of the scouts.
As the scouts hurried after it varric, slung bianca over his shoulder and adjusted his gloves, not noticing solas had already came by his side.
"That was strange."
"You mean besides the giant hole in the sky that was raining down demons just a moment ago?"
Solas replied with annoyed look on his face.
"Yeah it was a little weird that it didn't try to attack us ,maybe it was a bit smarter after seeing us take down a pride demon."
"Perhaps or perhaps it wasn't a demon at all"
Varric shrugged "Either way, I'm worn out from the weird stuff we've been dealing with today, I heard there's a tavern down at haven care to join me chuckles?"
"Thank you for the offer but perhaps another time."
"Suits yourself"
Varric followed the others down the trail to haven. Solas on the other hand stared at the direction the little light had ran off to, wondering what sort of spirit that was.
The wisp was more confused than ever before, the portal did lead it to it's new commander albeit a blood elf as evident from it's pale non-night elf like skin. She didn't look like any recognizable hero unit either but then again she could be a new character model from a expansion
Yes an expansion, that would explain it.
The dwarven riflemen that didn't use a musket or wore a cape. But instead wielded a crossbow and wore chestacular red shirt
A bald elven priest.
And the female footmen with no helmet.
Could all these new units be from this expansion?. Though it was highly strange that the wisp wasn't informed about it before hand.
Anyway, as soon as the wisp tried to came in contact with its new commander, the other units started shooting at him?
Why were they shooting at him? With no visible tree of life to produce more wisps. It would make more sense to keep it alive at all costs.
Does that mean they were enemy units? All of them? No no the blood elf woman was it's commander, the wisp was sure of it. No one else there exhibited the same glow that called to it, she must be.
Though now this presents a new problem for the wisp, as soon as it had shake off the two pursuing footmen. The wisp had discovered that they had taken the commander into their strange townhall. When were town halls that big? And how did they enter it? Only human peasants units are suppose to enter it and exit it as militia units.
Another serious breach in game protocol.
But what was the wisp to do? It was no combat unit, it did have the one combat command. Detonate.
However as it was sure the only wisp around (until proven to the contrary) the very thought of wasting the only worker unit like that was dismissed.
The wisp fretted between the tree outside of the strange town hall's range. What ever was it to do? What was the mission?
What sort of mission deprived a commander of their worker units whilst getting trapped in enemy territory?
...wait this has happened before has it not?
Yes the wisp remembers,the second mission of the first night elf campaign.
Priestess Tyranda was once cornered by the forces of the burning legion and had to sneak her way back to base camp where she raised an army and succeed in the mission.
That must be it, this new blood elf commander must surely be carrying out such a mission at this moment, it might even double as a tutorial.
Elated the wisps sets about harvesting lumber for it's new commander, when she escapes surely she would wish to have supplies available to her.
Gold harvesting may be an issue with the lack of entangled gold mine being the cause. Perhaps the commander will think of something when she gets here the wisp thought.
And so the wisp waited
I know, this chapter is more of a tease than actual substance but please do bear with me. The good stuff is coming soon.
