Events: After the ten thousand years imprisonment of Illidan (The content before of it is in chap. 3 soon.)
,.'*^^'.,.'*^^'.,.'*^^'.,
Rain is falling, doors closed, windows are slightly opened. What does they really hear is the rain falls at their very own place. they scream from suffering or enjoyment, they couldn't hear their own voice.
Night was clear, dark scatters around outside. What they saw is the dim light of their lamp inside. They kept looking on it as they were scared on the creepy dark outside.
It was late evening; cold, cold evening, that they even could endure those times, even it was just their first time.
Endure the coldy night.. endure the wounds that are bleeding.
Now they were on their slightly rough bamboo bed, sitting, wondering... how this things could be happened.
"You shouldn't do that. You know it harms yourself. Besides, that was a very big dragon. How could you fight yourself with it?"
While she was pouring warm water with his left arm where the wounds are bleeding, he smirked. She sways her long hair - it makes him hold her hair. The way she sway - agh, his wound, it hurts when it was poured.
"I have a will to fight for it. Don't worry, I'll be fine, see? Here I am-"
"You're here, and if I didn't know that you go there to train yourself - oh, wait, I can't call it as your training-"
"My love, you don't have to worry, I am fine! I showed off just to make you feel I am alive!"
It makes herself looked at his face so long. Just to make herself that he's alive?
But she was still worried about his wounds, and concentrated for it.
"But still, I am looking for a justice of this. Where did you met that dragon? Who-"
"Not again, my love. You were really obsessed with justice."
The bowl that contains warm water dropped when he hugged her.
"I know you were really worried about me, but stay calm, okay? I will be alive just for you." Illidan holds her tightly, caressing her hair and cheeks.
She knows herself that she was already calming down in terms of the situation happened, but she just can't forget and escape those things. It might be happened with something that she coudln't expected.
She felt his warm hug, and accept it back. She showed her very own smile, that everybody, and even Illidan, couldn't see it.
"I think I should really calm down." Maiev closed her eyes, thinking that hugging her takes too long.
"You just need my hug, I know that." He was teasing her, and tickling her with her shoulders.
Maiev laughed and grinned, reminding him of something. But she was focused on the bowl that was just dropped, and going to stand up and clean for it. She was going to get a clean cloth from their kitchen, but she was called by Illidan.
"Maiev."
She didn't look at him, but she showed her angry face. "Don't call me with my name."
"Maiev? are you still there?"
"I just say-"
"I-I was... just..."
She looked at him, and she was shocked when she saw him holding his chest. She immediately drip down the cloth, and hurrily went to him.
He was sweating all around, still holding in his chest.
"What happened? Do you have a nightmare? Tell me, Illi-"
His eyes closed.
"H-Hey, tell me!"
"HEY!"
Somebody shouted at her, and she looked around. It was another nightmare of her. Her and Illidan.
"Yo, Maie-" Illidan paused, then continued, "Ah, good morning."
Maiev reminised. Is she really with him?
While looking at his arm, reminding in her nightmare that it was bleeding, she was holding her head. It was just really a dream.
"I heard you were whispering something. Do you have a bad nightmare?" While preparing for a soup that his twin brother Malfurion gave to him earlier, Illidan give a thought about her. "I was worried for you, I couldn't give a single thought about it."
Mortred closed her eyes. She would not just tell it to him what is in her nightmare. "It was nothing."
She felt dizzy when she stood up, holding her head.
"Careful." Illidan noticed her, and hold her hand. "Maiev is Maiev; she would not tell anything if everybody knows that she had a problem with herself." He court her in the kitchen and let her sit in the chair with the prepared soup. "Come on, it would relieve on your stress, too."
Mortred stood up, "I must be the one who will prepare this... let me-"
"No, It's just that I can, my love. Let me do it, even for now." He smiled in front of her.
"-You were suffering from death..."
Illidan heard her, but not clearly enough. "What?"
"You were... holding your chest, and you will gonna die-"
"Sssh," Illidan stood up, and went beside her. He holds her both hand. "It was your nightmare, I know that. Start your day with this soup and everything will be fine."
Illidan kissed her cheeks, and smiled. "Oops, I forgot to give you a good morning kiss."
Maiev showed her angry face, but her face turns red. "You...!"
"See?" Illidan laughed, and showed his smile. "It relieves your stress when I do it."
"Daaamn." She smiled. Maiev take her soup, and let have a taste. "It tastes so good."
"My brother gave it to me. I was just woke up when he called me... damn, I have a deep sleep that time." He pretended to show an angry face while eating, but he was so proud that he have a twin brother like Malfurion.
Maiev smiled. "So, do you any plans for today?"
"I have no plans to do now... but something that just crossed in my mind." Illidan smiled, and take a look at her, "how about plans for us?"
"Plans... for us?" Maiev repeated the words that he mentioned.
"A time for us. A time of our love and care. A time for our long-lasting love." He hold her shoulders and said, "I wanted to kiss you when I saw you... everyday.."
Maiev bowed, while Illidan stand still in front of her, "I appreciate it."
"So..."
"Let's go. You're just weak when it comes to actions, I know that." Mortred hold his left hand and drag him into the room. "The Illidan is really Illidan, I know it."
"Oh? What did you say?" He smiled and having an evil laugh. "What is this? dragging me in our room?"
"What the hell you just say it's ours?" She gripped her hand while holding his hand.
"It's already ours." Illidan cupped her cheeks, and kissed her slowly.
"Hmm... Well...?"
,.'*^^'.,.'*^^'.,.'*^^'.,
"Dearest Warden Maiev Shadowsong - Illidan Stormrage, we have our urgent meeting now at Hillside Moonbath. We need your presence for this moment." The other Watcher saw them beside the tree where Illidan and Maiev used to be there when they meet each other, and told them the lastest news.
"Okay, we'll be there. Thank you." Maiev told the Watcher. The Watcher bowed, and take a leave.
"What such an urgent meeting that my brother will have now?" Illidan knew that he was asking for himself, but Maiev answered him.
"I think there's a new flow of enemies that would battle us again." Maiev started to stand up, grabbing Illidan's left hand.
"Well... another battle." Illidan told her seriously, and able to stand up with the assist of Maiev.
"We would really expect to it."
"I know that."
"Let's go, before we would not able to catch up on our meeting."
,.'*^^'.,.'*^^'.,.'*^^'.,
".. Well announced that they have build there miles away to be able to prepare in their battle with us!" Malfurion hissed, looking to all who attends the meeting, including Maiev and Illidan. Tyrande was in beside Malfurion, coping up with the topic.
"We need to prepare for these, Shan'do." The Druids gathered, and they were preparing every piece of their armour for this particular battle.
"Who are they, brother?" Illidan asked his brother, while he already gets the situation.
"Likely a part of Legion, but they don't lead the whole race. But they bought some demonic magics that could... capture our soul.. That's just dangerous."
"Capture..." Maiev sighed, and continued, "souls.."
"We must not lose hope! We are strong after all, and we could prove them!" Tyrande increased his voice, knowing that they were very nervous, afterall.
Malfurion looked at the druids with their situation, and look back at them. "We need to plan for our lanes. Tyrande, Illidan, we will gather here for the leading lane."
"How about me? I must be in this lane, too!" Maiev was confused, why leaving her, and assigned with the other lanes.
"Your brother needs your help in the south lane, as you share some potentials to each other. You could better fight with him."
"B-But, Illidan-"
"I know I could trust you, Maiev, but in this moment, we need to be equal. For our race... I understand your situation, but I know, Illidan will be fine, as you will be fine, too."
Illidan looked at her, held her shoulders, and hugged her so tightly. "Damn you Maiev, I'll be fine."
Maiev smirked. "Be on safety always here. Or else.."
"Or else what?"
Maiev held his hands, "I won't able to see... y-"
"Sssh. What? not able to see me? Oh my, for Goddess' sake, do you really trust me, Warden?"
"You bad."
"Me not."
"Freaking Betrayer."
"Damn Warden."
Malfurion was already satisfied with their situation, but he needs to interrupt. "Let's prepare now, for the battle..."
Maiev turned back to Malfurion, and bowed to everyone. "Excuse me, Shan'do, Priestess Tyrande... Illidan."
,.'*^^'.,.'*^^'.,.'*^^'.,
"Cover up!" Malfurion shouted, as if they were on panic. "Heal her immediately!"
Tyrande was hitting random creatures around them, noticed the archer that is fainted. "What happened?"
"Yes, Shan'do!" The other archers replied.
"She was struck down when somebody releases her energy... from the random creep." Malfurion let out a sigh, "It's getting dangerous."
Looking for Malfurion, she was worried to his twin brother, Illidan. While Illidan was not on her sights, she asked Malfurion, "Where's Illidan?"
..HAHAHAHAHA...
Tyrande heard the evil laugh, looking around them. Not far from her position, Illidan was caught up with the Nerubians, absorbing his power.
"Illidan!" She ran through the trapped Illidan immediately.
"You're the one of the part of the Legion, right? over ten thousand years, you have already forgotten it... you have forgotten our power!" The older Nerubian told Illidan while he was casting a spell that absorbs his energy.
"I released that power since I was on the cell for those years! You Nerubians don't understand the history of the Legion when I am still there long time ago.." Illidan explained, feeling the pain that his energy was restrained.
"Now let your soul burn into it!" the other Nerubian said.
"What the - AURGHHH!" Illidan let himself scream, painful on his heart.
"Feel the pain, Demon Hunter!"
"I am not anymore a demon hun- SHIZZ." Illidan kept squishing his chest, feeling that he would going to faint and let himself unconcious.
"Feel that-"
"UWAAH!"
Tyrande shot an arrow to the younger Nerubian, twice.
"Tyrande Whisperwind... the one who don't accept Illidan's feelings then entitled Illidan himself that he is a betrayer? Nice timing..." the older Nerubian laughed, still continue absorbing the power.
"Tyrande! Leave it! You don't stand a chance to this bastard Nerubian!" Illidan still squishing his chest, letting out his weaknesses.
"You were the one who don't stand a chance!"
"A love quarrel talk? or mutual talk?..." the Nerubian laughed slightly, noticed Tyrande's pale face. "Then, I will release your energy, too.."
"NO!" Illidan screamed, trying to move and stand up.
Tyrande safely shot him an arrow, and he was filled with blood.
Unable to gain energy, Illidan lost unconciousness.
Tyrande let out a sigh. Focused on Illidan, she faced him. "Illidan.."
She forced to call an archer to heal for him, but after a minute, the flow of the enemies were increasing. They let Illidan's body brought back to his own house, to be able to heal safely.
,.'*^^'.,.'*^^'.,.'*^^'.,
After a minute, the battle was still equal, but they couldn't say it was easy. Many of the archers and druids were wounded.
Tyrande visited Illidan after the battle. She knows she was bit tired, but she let herself push forward to visit him. She saw how Illidan suffered when his energy was restrained. She know how he could endure those moments that he thinks that he could able to save himself.
The Watcher bowed to her, while she entered the room. "Dearest Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind."
"How's Illidan?" Tyrande walked through Illidan's side, and asked her. "Is he still unconcious?"
"Yes, Priestess. We healed him, but I think it doesn't enough. All of his energies were absorbed." The Warden said.
Tyrande nodded. "You can go now and rest. I will take care of Illidan."
The Watcher bowed, and take a leave on the room.
Tyrande sat down beside him, letting her hand touching his cheeks. "Illidan," she muttered herself, looking at his unconcious face. Since when I betrayed him? Since when I don't accept his feelings for me?
Letting out a sigh, she let herself sleep beside him.
,.'*^^'.,.'*^^'.,.'*^^'.,
Malfurion fixed himself for discussing the battle matters again. He just noticed Tyrande wasn't still coming. He knew that she was in Illidan's place since he was left unconcious for three days. he let hismelf go to Illidan's place and have a visit to him, and Tyrande.
He entered the room, and still, Tyrande was sleeping. She was really tired, his brother was still unconcious. She was taking care of him, afterall.
Malfurion let touch Tyrande's cheek, and she noticed it. "M-Mal.."
"You look tired, my love. You need some rest."
Tyrande woke up, and let herself sat down at the bed where Illidan lays. "I am fine. I have enough rest."
"How's Illidan?" Malfurion asked her, looking at his twin brother's face.
"He's already fine.. but his energy.. was restrained. That's why he still left unconcious."
He cupped her face, and look worried to her, "Are you really fine, my love?"
"Of course, Mal." She made a quick smile. Malfurion made a leave before she would say she loves him.
