Chapter 2 - The Guardians of Elune
We returned once again to the church and ventured down the winding ramp into a huge room filled with books of all kinds. In the center of the room was a small night elf moonwell.
"Sapphire! What is this Cassandra says about a death knight in the city?" A girl similar to Sapphire only with brown hair waved.
"Well sis meet Alex. Daddy says to watch her and let her join the guild since some death knights seem to be good again."
The mage, at least that's what I think she is, walked over to me doing a head to toe inspection.
"Well Alex I am the current guild master and master of arcane magic Crystalic Wrynn the Mage and Princess of Stormwind." She motioned over to the Draenei practicing on a wooden dummy. "That is our master of battle Ishanah Ata'mal the Warrior." She then looked at Cassandra. "Cassandra Greymane here is the master of nature and arch druid of the Worgen and princess of Gilneas."
"And you've already met me but for the sake of introductions. I am Sapphire Wrynn the rogue. Master of stealth and Princess of Stormwind." She smiled.
"Hey Alex you should try to beat Crystalic at chess." Ishanah said.
"Oh come on you just want her to beat me for you. Plus you already know only Alexavis has ever beaten me." Crystalic laughed.
"Chess? I don't see why not I don't have anything else to do." I sat down in front of the black pieces.
"Checkmate Crystalic!"
I blinked. 'What the hell was that?' I looked back at the chess pieces and made my first move trying to ignore the voice I heard from nowhere.
The girls looked at me in shock as I checkmated Crystalic.
"Did … did She really just checkmated Crystalic ?" Said Sapphire.
"It would appear so. I can't believe she did it. Nobody has ever checkmated Crystalic except for Alexavis!" Said Ishanah.
I looked at them and smiled. I felt very proud of myself because I've never played chess in my entire undead life. It was as if somebody was in my head telling me the exact moves to do. It was a little disturbing but I still felt proud that I actually beat Crystalic in chess!
"Well Alex I trust you ." Crystalic said smiling at me.
"You trust me after one game of chess? You really are a strange mage. I've never met somebody like you that can trust this easily over a game. "
I looked to the other three in the room. Ishanah still looked doubtful but had some amount of trust for me, while Cassandra and Sapphire looked at me as if I was their new best friend. It was strange, I felt as if I'd known them longer than just this 1 hour. Perhaps we knew each other in my past life somewhere, or maybe I was just imagining things. Whenever I was feeling didn't matter at that time all I knew is I actually had friends in the city that hated me.
When they were done asking me questions about myself, and I was done asking them the same thing, I went upstairs to where my room was located and slept the night away in the bed. The next morning I woke up and headed back outside into the city. Looking upon all these people that used to be my enemy I felt a sort of urge, the urge I had when I was under the Lich King's command to kill. At least I wasn't like the one death knight I heard that was the ambassador to the Horde. He was unholy specialized, which meant diseases and controlling undead minions was his specialty. Apparently he accidentally caused a man to die due to frost fever and then accidentally rose him back from the dead. Which then the undead minion went and started to attack citizens. Of course if I was frost speced everyone anyone near me would probably be frozen if I couldn't control it. But no one I have is worse, I am blood speced. Which means I will always have an uncontrollable urge to kill and soak and drink up all the blood of my enemy or innocent person I've killed. Perhaps that is what I'm feeling right now, after all I havn't killed anything in three days. When you're used to killing things every day, that uncontrollable urge will never go away simply because that is what I'm used to.
"According to several guards, there are several thieves outside Stormwind stealing and attacking people. They just can't handle all of these thieves themselves so they leave them alone unless they attack." I heard Ishanah say.
'That was strange why did I hear Ishanah's voice when I am nowhere near her?' I looked around just to make sure she was nowhere in my vicinity before walking outside the gate to inspect what I had imagined. Sure enough there were several thieves camp down near a lake nearby. I grinned and snuck up behind one slicing its head clear off with my sword. I laughed seeing the blood pouring from her neck before noticing the other three thieves had targeted me. I taunted them, throwing on a whirling shield of bones surrounding me in defending me. I tossed a scarlet fever disease on one of them and used pestilence so that the disease would spread to the other two. The first the fell to the ground in pain before finally dying with his last breath, shocking the other two thieves as in to that thinking what was going on. I laughed menacingly and use one of my strongest attacks of my blood spec, heart strike. With that my blade struck one of the thieves straight into the heart , causing the shock of the other thief when his heart collapsed within himself. I felt complete joy as the urges that caused me pain were satisfied as it did to my hand into the blood pools and poured the delicious to red liquid straight into my mouth. It filled me with renewed strength that had lost sitting around doing nothing.
I quickly jumped into the lake and washed the blood off my armor so that when I reentered Stormwind the guards would not try to arrest me. I noticed a little pink worm crawling out of one of the thieves bodies. It was fat as if it had just eaten a feast and that I notice three more popping into several other bodies. They came running to me as if I was their master, which technically I am. They would not go away on their own and I knew I couldn't take them into the city. So what else can I do but stab them with my sword, not as if they cared they can't feel the pain and have no minds to register it.
I rejoined the Guardians of Elune in their base which come to find out it wasn't really in the church that was the main entrance that was a long tunnel to the base. I found out that that was just one simple entrance, but the real entrance that they used as members was actually hidden behind the bookcases in the Stormwind library. I thought that was clever and was glad not to have to walk through the Cathedral District anymore and watch the priest and paladin faces watching my every move just waiting for me to screw up. And then I found out that we were being sent to Dalaran tomorrow where we would wait to be sent to various points in Northrend after awhile so that we can fight the Lich King's army and hopefully get to Icecrown Citadel and kill the Lich King himself.
