Prologue
I remember the beginning. It was so simple back then. I was just a little girl, no care in the world. I was only six when the undead scourge started thier dark crusade to restore Kel Thuzad as a lich.
Life would never be the same.
Chapter 1 Death's Crusade
"Vela, wake up." I opened my eyes, yawning. "Come on Vela, breakfast is ready." my Dad said. My dad was a bloodknight of Silvermoon. I got out of bed. "Hi, Daddy." I said. "Hey sweetie. Now get to the table before it gets cold." my Dad said.
As I approached the table I smelled my favorite, a Hawkstrider egg.
"Hi Velathiana." Velathiana was my real name, Vela was my short name. "Hi Mommy." I said. My Mother was also a bloodknight. It was how my parents met. We were halfway through breakfast when we heard a knock on the door.
My dad got up to answer it. It was High General Sylvanas Windrunner. "General, not to be rude but why are you here?" My Dad asked.
"Listen you need to lock your daughter in here and defend your home." she said. This grabbed my mothers attention and she got up and asked "Why?" "The undead are coming in this direction you need to defend your home or you will all be destroyed." Sylvanas said obviously stressed and worried.
My Parents started scurrying to get on thier armor and grab thier weapons. Once they were done my mother told me, "Listen Vela, do not leave unless your life depends on it. If a guard or we tell you to leave do it. If we tell you to run go to the forest. Me and your father love you Velathiana never forget that." "We will be back Vela"
It was afraid and confused. What was happening, I thought. As a child I knew only what stories told me. Undead did not like the living and we were alive. It was over an hour and I started to here fighting. My curiousity got the better of me and I looked out the window.
It was horrible. The undead were swarming the area and my parents were fighting a man in black armor who weilded a sword with blue runes etched on the blade. His skin was pale and his eyes glowed blue. He had long white hair.
He cast a purple ball of energy at my mother and she fell. "RUN VELATHIANA RUN TO THE FOREST AND WAIT FOR SOMEONE I LO- ugh uuuhhhhh" My dad fell and I immediately went out the back door and ran. Tears streaming down my tears. I ran for my life into the forest knowing one thing. My parents were dead.
