Chapter 2: The End of a Hero

A lone night elf waited in eager anticipation of what would come to pass. He stood outside of Silvermoon City, a rogue stealthed with a blade in his right hand, a bottle of poison in the left. A large group of mounted blood elves were riding toward the grand city. Grand, but still not quite as great as Darnassus, this elf's home.

The crowd of Plain striders would cover him from the guards' watching eyes. If focused on, the stealth wouldn't hold. He needed to get to the Sunfury Spire. That was where the Regent Lord of Quel'Thalas lay.

He felt his mana running out. He looked around him and saw that the abominations were already taking the others away. He tried casting a spell of light on the monsters, but he couldn't. He had nothing left to use.

They grabbed at him, and he struggled as they dragged him away. He saw a tall human in black armor with glowing blue eyes. His hair was white and cut short, twice the size as Nordelei.

"Yes…" he slowly spoke, "This one will do."

As Nordelei felt his consciousness leaving him, he felt a cold prodding at his mind. It craved blood and death. Even as he lost consciousness, Nordelei lost all hope of defending against it…
