Hello all who are reading this, I am an aspiring writer who's writing FanFic for World of Warcraft. Now before you start reading, I wanted to make it clear from the beginning that there are multiple sections in this story. Each section is based on the expansion packs. (From Lich King on). I TOOK A LOT OF LIBERTY WHEN WRITING THIS and THIS FIRST SECTION IS LESS EXCITING THAN THE OTHER SECTIONS. Please, leave comments (preferably not hateful) and point out flaws in my story. I am a HUGE lore junky and I HATE screwing it up! Thank you and I hope you enjoy it!
I turned on my computer and watched the older screen buzz to life. There was a new game that I had to play! Well, it was not new, but it was interesting. It was called World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. It was the first mass multiplayer online, or MMO, game that I had ever played that had dragons and other creatures that my character could ride. Needless to say, when I finally logged onto the server I was pumped and ready to create my characters! It was clear that I was going to be on the Horde side, not only had my Dad joined their team, but also their characters were much cooler looking. He had made an undead priest named Malfont so in turn I created an undead warrior named Sinewa.
Over the course of many months I leveled Sinewa till she was level 78. At that time I had just begun my Wyrmrest missions, essentially where I go work for the Dragons. I happened to look away from my computer for just a minute when there was a flash of light. Oh NO, somehow I broke the computer! I was not able to see what was going on. The only thing I could see was light that consumed me. Blinking the light away, I found myself in a cold and dark place.
Unsure of where I was and what was going on, I called out. "Hello? W-What's going on? Where am I?"
"Zuriogos, I thought you said the spell would bring a strong fighter to use for ransom?" someone said in the dark.
"I said it would bring someone important. I never said how we would know the person would be important."
"What's going on?" I cried out in fear.
There was a low growl when a pair of bright orange eyes locked on mine. Out from the shadows strode out an Azure Drake decked out in enchanted and gemmed iron armor . It appeared to be huge compared to me, but I knew from game experience that this was a short drake. A squeak escaped my lips as another came into view.
"You, human, have been transported from your home, in whatever realm you have come from, to our precious realm of magic. Consider this an honor that we are allowing you to live long enough for the goals of the Blue Aspect, Malygos , to be fulfilled!" one of the drakes cackled madly.
I almost stopped breathing when the drake mentioned Malygos. Malygos: the insane dragon aspect that is currently trying to eradicate the other dragon aspects. Wait, could I really in the game? How is that even possible? This has to be a nightmare. I must have fallen asleep when playing the game.
"How could I be important?" I finally managed to say, "I'm just a regular human!"
"Apparently you're not as normal as you thought. My magic would not have brought you here if you were just average," said the other drake.
The drakes began to move toward me. Instinctively, I stepped back and then began to run away. Lizards, of all things, giant flying lizards are going to end up killing me! Man this is so NOT cool! I looked behind me only to see the large creatures catching up. Suddenly, one of them opened their mouth and shot magic from it! WHAT! They are giant, blue, talking lizards that shoot MAGIC from their mouths? WHAT THE HECK MAN, I JUST CAN'T WIN! When I was not paying attention I slammed into something and it made me fall backward. Looking up I saw it was two more drakes, but they were different than the blue ones. One was a bronze color and the other was albino. Beside of the drakes were two undead : one male priest and a female warrior. Malfont? Sinewa? Within moments, Sinewa and the two drakes charged into battle against the azure drakes. During this battle, I felt myself be picked up and placed onto my feet by the dead priest.
"Move an inch from this spot and I swear I will use my magic to beat you almost to death," he threatened.
"Yes, sir!" I squeaked.
Not daring to move, I continued to watch the battle that was raging. By now the azure drakes were backing down, especially since Sinewa was a raging warrior whose only concern was keeping her and her teammates alive. Of course, I was grossed out by all of the dragon blood that was beginning to cover the floor. After a few more moments of intense blade swinging and dragon fire, ice and magic being shot in different directions, the azure drakes eventually were slain. The now clearly tired Azerothians turned their attention to me.
"Who in Azeroth are you, Alliance worm," growled Sinewa as she held her blade to my throat.
"Woah, easy there! I'm just a kid, my name is-"
"I will not take it easy till I know why the azure dragons summoned you!" hissed the warrior.
"Enough, Ambassador, the girl appears to be of little threat," the albino dragon quietly spoke, "Come with us little one."
"Uh… Okay."
The drake motioned for me to get onto her back. Not sure what else I could do, I climbed on and soon found myself in the chilly Northrend air. When the frigid air hit my skin, I gasped and began to shiver. Have I been forcing Sinewa to live and fight in such cold weather? Looking around I noticed that area had many Jormungar, large hostile worm-like creatures that had blue fur growing out of the sides of their bodies, slithering through the snow below us. There were also Tundra Mammoths roaming the area. I continued to study the area below when a piercing roar grabbed my attention. Snapping my head toward the sound, I saw that there were blue drakes flying around the Wyrmrest Temple attempting to block people from entering or exiting the upper part of the structure.
My eyes moved from the massive lizards down to the actual building. It was a grand tower that stood high above the surrounding mountains. The building could be seen from miles away due to its sheer size. It looked to be a stone-like structure with bronze or gold detailing it. Ice and snow clung to the tower making it appear cold and inhospitable! I could only imagine that the structure was freezing and that going inside would be like walking into a freezer. However, the drakes made no change in course.
Curious, I looked over to the bronze drake and the Horde members riding on his back. Sinewa and Malfont appeared to be talking to one another about something, but I had a good idea what it was about when they looked over at me. I gave them a nervous smile and watched as they looked at me with confusion and disdain. Humans and undead never really got along… I mean the undead do want to kill more humans so there will be more of them… Hmm… That means that a human has never smiled at them. Well, when you are their enemy that is kinda what's expected.
Returning my gaze to the tower, I watched us land. The others dismounted the drake so I followed their manner. I noticed that we were now in front of the Wyrmrest Accord. Oh no… Oh this isn't good! This is where the Dragon Queen and the other aspects' ambassadors meet! Taking a deep breath in attempt to calm myself, I watched as the two undead talked with Alexstraza, the Dragon Queen . She seemed quite concerned about something and then looked at me. Instantly, I tensed up. Alexstraza smiled and motioned for me to come closer. I felt the albino drake gently pushed me forward. Nearing the queen, I found myself trembling.
"Don't be so nervous young one, all is well," said the queen kindly, "I just have some questions for you."
"Y-Yes Ma'am?" I stuttered.
The red dragon queen smiled, "Where are you from child?"
"I-I'm not from this world."
"What do you mean?"
"I live in a… a separate realm. I think that's how I explain it."
"What is your world called?"
"Earth?"
"You sound unsure."
"I've never had to explain something like this before."
"I see," said the woman, "tell me your name."
"I am Noel."
Another kind smile crossed her face, "Lovely name."
"Thank you."
"Would you like to know where you are?"
"I kinda already know."
"Oh?"
"We're at the Wyrmrest Temple. This is where the aspect ambassadors and the dragon queen meet. You're Alexstraza the Life Bringer and the Dragon Queen. You are the leader of the Wyrmrest Accord."
She was surprised, "You are correct."
The other dragon ambassadors began to talk to one another. Their whispers made me nervous, but I knew I needed to stay calm.
"Can I please go home?" I asked the leader of the Accord.
"I would love to allow that, but my magic cannot do something like that. Only Malygos and his flight has that type of magic that could send you back," she said sadly, "For now child, you will remain here. Do not be afraid, young one; I will have someone to look after you while we decide how to handle this situation."
Not really sure how to react, I nodded.
"Crystinia," Alexstraza called.
The albino drake from earlier stepped forward, "Yes, Life Bringer?"
"Take Noel with you until I can straighten things out for her. This is a very complex situation that I must handle with care."
"Yes."
The albino drake motioned for me to follow her. While walking to her, I looked at Sinewa. She appeared intrigued by me, but I lowered my gaze and continued walking to the drake. Crystinia leapt off of the balcony and flapped her powerful wings until she caught an up draft that allowed her to soar in the sky.
"So human, what is like in your world?"
"Umm… Well, where I live it is much warmer. I think I'm going to freeze to death out here if I don't get some thicker clothes," I said realizing that I was in my thin pink monkey nightgown, "Anyway, we don't have buildings as large as the one we were just at unless we visit the city."
"Interesting, what do you do in your world?"
"I'm a student, but I spend most of my time drawing or writing," I stated, "What about you?"
The drake turned her head slightly to look at me, "I'm the only older albino drake . My duty is to care for the young white hatchlings and try to regrow the white dragon flight."
"What happened to your flight?"
"We were decimated by the blue dragon flight and forced to hide our nesting location somewhere that they wouldn't think."
I tilted my head to the side as I listened. She returned her attention back to her flight path. Doing the same, I noticed that we were heading toward Azjol Nerub and the IceMist Village, an underground area in which the undead nerubians lived. They were a terrifying spider humanoid that roamed the depths of the ice.
"Crystinia, why are we heading to Azjol Nerub and the IceMist Village?" I asked.
"No worries nestling, this is the way we head to our new nesting grounds."
Within a short time we passed the village and began to near the mountains. At first I thought she was going to fly above them, but she made no attempt to. I began to get nervous, yet something grabbed my attention before I could voice my concern. It was strange and I was unsure of it, but I could feel something strong coming from the mountains.
"This may sound crazy, but I think… Well… Never mind it's nuts," I sighed.
"Go ahead, I doubt it will be as crazy as you think."
"I feel like there is something strong coming from the mountains we're heading towards. It's strong, like there is some sorta force radiating from it. Like I said its-," I began as I was interrupted.
Hovering in mid-air she continued, "What, you can sense it? Human, that's strange! Only dragons are able to sense such magic… Alexstraza said that there was a strong magical displacement when they brought you into our world. It was suggested that the blue dragon flight was trying to bring someone powerful. How we are not sure."
I began to laugh, "Me, magical? In my world magic doesn't even exist! Anyway I'm the most average, plain, and boring person in my whole county."
"Hmm, perhaps…" Crystinia trailed off.
She resumed flying and I watched as we went through the mountain. It had been a magical barrier that hid a cave from being detected on the outside. I was in awe of the cave. Usually a cave was a dark and cold place that would frighten the less adventurous types, but this cave was radically different . Glowing crystals grew out from the sides of the walls and the inside of the crystals swirled with some sort of liquid or material. Perhaps it was magic. As we continued to fly, I noticed that the water was glowing a bright blue green color brightening up the cave. Hatchlings and young white drakes scurried and played in the cave. Other drakes lifted their head and watched as we flew in.
"Wow," I gasped.
Crystinia chuckled, "Yes, this is quite marvelous isn't it. It's naturally this way. We were given this cave by the Dragon Queen since our hatchlings play with the crystals' magic and enjoy creating gems. Also, you will be staying in my nest that way you will not be stepped on by the other drakes."
