War was brewing in the Outlands and the blood elves had set up a stronghold in Terokkar Forest located just east of Shattrath City. Brothers Willem and Wilhelm Bloodwin were exceptional warriors and their uncle was Lord Bloodwin, the leader of the 'Blood Elf Council.' Willem was the older of the two and at twenty-eight he was well built and handsome, though male blood elves were known to look feminine, he was by no means weak. With his long blond hair fashioned in a ponytail and his green eyes, he made all the female blood elves swoon. But he didn't have the interest nor the time for such frivolous matters because he was more concerned with the task at hand: trying to figure out the Alliances' next move. The Alliances' presence was strong in Terokkar Forest, especially the humans who Willem despised(after losing his father at the hands of one).

The Alliance had set-up camp in Shattrath City and among the group was a human priest named Sonia Oak. Sonia was breathtakingly beautiful, with her emerald green eyes and her flawless skin. Her long raven black hair was the envy of many and she turned many a head human and non-human alike. She came from a line of priests as both of her parents were priests and ever since she could remember, that's all she wanted to be. So when she turned eighteen she joined the 'Order Of The Priests' and under the tutelage of her father's good friend, Roan Pewter, she excelled and quickly rose to the top. Now at the age of twenty-three, she was considered seasoned and the reason why she was chosen to accompany the Alliance to Terokkar forest as their main healer. There were five other priests, including her best friend Tomas and younger sister Raina. Tomas was in love with Sonia, but the feeling wasn't shared. She saw him more like a brother and he sure did act like one too, always protective of her. Sonia had never really been in love, all her friends would tell her about the feeling of joy that one felt when being in love. One day Sonia hoped to experience love, but until then she had more pressing issues: tomorrow's invasion of the blood elf stronghold.

That night spirits were high for the blood elves, unaware that the very next day the Alliance would invade their stronghold.

Willem woke up early the next morning in a foul mood, but could not pinpoint why he felt this way. But he would soon discover why…Willem heard shouts coming from the front of the stronghold and went to investigate. See Willem had been in the military for ten years and was able to recognize an ambush, he also recognized the Alliance; He swiftly took action and began shouting orders. He assigned hunters at each of the entrances, ordered healers, hunters, warriors, and paladins front and center. When all was said and done the casualties for both factions were massive. Willem went to assess the damage and saw that Wilhelm was injured. Searching for the healers, he found them all dead.

On the alliance front, Sonia was a bit shaken but unharmed. She began tending to the wounded and noticed four of the priests including Tomas, were dead. She bowed her head down in silence and mourned their death then she quickly composed herself. Then it dawned on her that Raina was missing. She went in search for Raina and instantly froze in her tracks, just several hundred feet in front of her stood a breathtakingly handsome male blood elf and he didn't look happy. She quickly hid behind a nearby boulder. She glanced around and saw that the blood elf had knelt down beside another blood elf, that appeared injured. She assumed they were friends. He was saying something to the injured blood elf, but she couldn't make out what he was saying. She also noticed she couldn't take her eyes off of him and felt a strangeness in her stomach well up. After a few minutes of her staring at him, the uninjured blood elf rose and walked away. Sonia breathed a sigh of relief for not being caught. After standing there for a few minutes, making sure it was clear, she continued her search for Raina. Searching desperately for an hour she was ready to give up when she heard a moan. Frantic, she moved towards the direction of the moan and saw Raina. She was alive, having only suffered a few scrapes and bruises. A feeling of relief swept over Sonia as she knelt down beside Raina and hugged her tightly not wanting to let go. As she was helping her up, she heard a noise from behind and froze...

After he left Wilhelm, Willem went in search of help. While searching, he ran across two human women. He noticed that they were wearing priest's robes and though it wasn't customary for the opposite faction to assist each other, he needed their help to heal his brother.
