Well here is the next chapter! please not that i will write and post probably every 1 to 2 weeks if i have time. Enjoy!

ALTERAC MOUNTAINS - DALARAN - INSIDE MAGICAL DOME...

Before the third war dalaran was known as a place of great magical wonder and study. It was there that alliance races came to learn and practice various magical spells and to gain knowledge. Ruled by the archmage antonidas, one of the greatest wizards at the time. Dalaran was one of several kingdoms that emerged as the empire of arathor declined over the second war, Dalaran entered the alliance of lordaeron in order to help fight the invading horde forces that came to azeroth in order to conquer it for the burning legion. For years it was neutral territory until... the third war came...

It was unlike the first two wars that alliance fought bravely before, this war has started when a more vile threat arose in the form of the plague of undeath. At first it began in andorhal, distribution center for all agricultural supplies in the northern provinces of Lordaeron east of lordamere lake before the scourge invaded.

It was there that a certain cult led by renegade wizard called kel'thuzad began to infest the grain with the deadly plague and spread it unknowingly to the townsfolk to other mayor population centres. Eventually he was defeated by no other than prince arthas menethil. He and jaina proudmoore, one of the dalaran sorceress began investigating the plague that began to slowly grip the land, looking for clues to stop it or find its source.

That led them to hearthglen where they hoped to take a break from journey but instead, to the shock of both arthas and jaina, plague has already reached the town and not soon after he was warned that undead army will invade his horror, Arthas discovered that the plague was not merely a means of mass murder, but rather, the means of turning innocent townsfolk into undead creatures. Arthas barely held but in the end, uther arrived with reinforcements to help.

Ever since that day he started to change. He declared that city will be purged of infected and met mal'ganis, whom he vowed to pursue anywhere he can hide. He and his ships came upon the shores of northrend where they, with unexpected help of dwarf muradin bronzebeard pursued the demon and his his friends muradin he was in pursuit of a runeblade called frostmourne that could enable him to exact his vengeance much to muradin disppproval. The calls for him to return back home were ignored and the ships that they sailed have been blamed to be burned by mercenaries instead.

He indeed has exacted vengeance and killed the demon. Not soon after he returned home where he was greeted with open arms and love, everyone celebrated his return, but the hopes in an instant were shattered when he killed his father and his mentor uther the lightbringer. Soon after he led campaign agaist elven kingdom of quel'thalas and corrupted the sunwell, the elves only source of power. He then returned to fallen lordaeron and invaded pristine city of dalaran and killed antonidas that stood in his way. Soon after he was called by the lich king who spoke to him of great danger and ordered him to return to icecrown clacier to protect the throne from illidan stormrage who sought to destroy it.

After a great battle arthas shattered the throne and reclaimed the crown of being a new lich king. Ever since for years he was there, sleeping, but it will not last forever...

Now... Dalaran was scarred by the third war, encased in powerful magical dome that protects it and its residents while it is being rebuilt. Jaina proudmoore, a young talented sorcerer was residing inside one of the libraries reading books, tomes and scrolls. it was just other day of study when she felt something far away.

'What is this strange disturbance that i have felt... it was powerful but lasted for brief moment...'

For a few moments she stopped reading and headed to the balcony looking at the city which was still under construction and protected.

'Whatever it was its gone, Better to return to my study...'

ELWYN FOREST AND WESTFALL LAKESIDE BORDER

For a just few seconds rift was open and trough it came a person, a 23 year old man who just jumped out of the rift. He wore basic linen shirt, pants and shoes crafted by his AI device EVA before he came trough. However just as he stepped out he was greeted by...

''Splash!''

'Oh that is just great! Now my clothes are wet!'

Swimming towards the lakeside shore he then began to undress his soaked clothes and using a towel dried himself before changing to the almost identical set of backup ones made of linen fabric. Looking at the device he spoke

'' EVA please explain to me why did i land in the lake instead of ground near it?'' my voice scolding

''I apologize but since this is your first visit in this dimension the alignment coordinates were slightly off, it will not occur next time you decide to visit'' she said with apologetic face

I frowned for a few moments, how is it possible that so powerful device on my wrist can make mistakes? I thought it is supposed to be perfect but then again, nobody and nothing is perfect no matter who or what it is. Regaining my focus on my surroundings i saw something that surprised me to the core.

On the other side of the lake was Elwyn forest, a beautiful one that unlike in game was so realistic and remarkably lifelike from human point of view. Big and fat trees are dotting the landscape along the tall green grass and flowers can be even seen from afar. Lake bordering the forest was pure and taking a moment i moved to look at it seeing my own reflection in water, air was fresh and pure upon inhaling it and i felt relieved instantly that there is no fossil fuels to ruin it.

On the other side was westfall, but unlike in game where ground was yellow, here there was barely any grass and ground was bleached much darker revealing ground beneath the soil. There was little trees around, if this place have not been ravaged by those defias thieves this land whould be able to thrive much like elwyn. Then i told AI.

''EVA, scan for any lifeforms in westfall.''

''Scanning complete - There are canine predator species corresponding to coyote wolf - Snake type creatures - Wild Boar - Coastal are crabs and sharks as well as unidentified bird species that are predatory.''

''Humanoid form of life include Human and others i cannot identify.''

''Others lifeforms are unknown.''

''Geographical analysis.'' i said

''Mostly mid temperate and dry landscape consisting of several household farms as well as what seems to be tower hill - several towns are abandoned and lack any activity - There are three ore mines rich with copper - silver and tin ore materials.''

''Scan the elwyn forest in the same order and analyse''

''Analysis complete - There are several wolf type variants that closely resemble wolves from earth as well as bear canine type predator nearly identical to earth as well - Boars and unknown type spider are also detected''

''Humanoid lifeforms consist of Human and others that are unknown.''

''Geographical analysis complete - forest is filled with lakes - rivers - and lush glades. Several farms are also detected with humans populating them. There are 3 mines in the forest that contain all the said minerals at much smaller scale.''

Satisfied with the report from the AI i looked once more at the horizon to my left, there was big white bridge made of polished stone. Using my enhanced sight i zoomed in to see guards patrolling the area down the road talking on the way to their post. They wore blue - white armor plated and are armed with polished swords and a shield with lion crest in the middle. Taking a moment to contemplate my options i sat on the ground to think.

'To think that in my world this just a fantasy... unbelievable...'

'These people... Are humans just as i was on earth, yet different at the same time, should i approach them? Or take a more indirect route...'

'Fine, i will do this a more direct way.'

I sat up, picked my bag and begun walking along the riverside. One of the things that i had done is to obviously conceal the wristwatch by camouflaging it and looked again around the area. Both westfall and elwyn is alot more larger than in game, that is for sure, as a matter of fact i could expect this world to be lot more different than game, it was so fantastically lifelike to the touch, tree - grass - air... Well even the water was spectacularly real, there was no doubt that this is real and i'm right there, walking on a imaginary world. Before i came here i was playing warcraft for years and still remembering some of the its lore and history.

Also i was considering not using the device that much at all unless absolutely necessary under certain conditions. It whould be stupid if i were to always rely on it since i plan to stay here for about 10 years. Then i remembered time differential. 7 years on azeroth mean 7 days on earth according to early preliminary data provided since i arrived.

Next thing that i lacked is something that is necessity on this world, currency. I knew i will need copper - silver or gold coins in order to buy food, weapons and armor. The most important was to build a house in a city somewhere or buy empty one, in the meantime i will need to rent one and pay off in coin when the time comes.

Crossing the bridge, two guards that stood where suddenly moved to intercept me and one of them spoke

''HALT! Who wish to cross the border to the forest?'' guard spoke with order in his voice

''I'm a adventurer, traveled from far far away. I require passage trough the forest in order to continue on my journey and hopefully find a place to rest.''

The guard was not entirely convinced of my response so took a step forward holding the hilt of his sword but unstealthed from the hilt

''From which village you hail from and state you name?'' he spoke with authority in his voice

'It has come to this... my name... lets see... which one to pick...'

''My name is Toryan the traveler, and i was one of the refugees that fled lordaeron after its fall, have traveled for a long time to find kingdom of stormwind and make my home there.'' I spoke without a moment hesitation

The guard eyed my closely as if he is trying to discern if i'm speaking the truth. After a few seconds he spoke again

''Very well, what is in the bag you are carrying?''

''Food and some clothes that i managed to take for the trip.''

''Open it.''

I have done as asked and allowed him to look inside, satisfied he nodded and took from his small bag from the side of his hip a scroll and gave it to me

''Alright, everything seems to be in order, you will need this in order to legally enter the kingdom, also do not lose it. You will need this signed at the stormwind keep office so you can be listed as citizen of the kingdom , understood?''

''Yes sir.'' i nodded

''Proceed and good luck.''

I smiled at the last words and moved forward, the reason why they inspected me was probably defias brotherhood since in westfall they are thieves and murderers roaming around. However i had early plans for them much later on when i advance in knowledge.

ELWYN FOREST ROAD

After around 15 minutes of walking i spotted a stone barracks and a tower near it, guards stood at the entrances firm and guard for any threat, as i was passing them i saw something that should have been familiar.

'Oh this is my lucky day! A wanted poster! Lets see...'

'Wanted: Hogger, wanted dead or alive with head or paw as proof. Generous pay for his bounty as reward. Report to marshal dughan in goldshire for reward.'

I stood there reading the poster in more detail when one of the guards came to me

''You! Newcomer!'' He yelled from afar waving his hand

Moments later i turned around and approached the guard then he spoke

''You can forget about trying to capture that pesky gnoll, he is a real trouble, many that tried to do so almost got killed and gave up, trust me its not worth since you are not even wearing standard mail or plate armor let alone sword.'' he said

'Thanks to state the obvious.'

''I see... well i do not intent to go unarmed to hunt the creature down, eventually i will come to claim the bounty but not yet.'' i replied

''A word of advice traveler, be on guard, some defias are lurking trough the forest just as any other dangerous animals.

''How do you know i'm traveler? I have just recently entered forest.''

''World travel fast. Many travelers enter our borders on daily basis, so its not uncommon to see an adventurer or refugee these days.'' he said

''Thanks for the advice, i'l be careful and stick to the road just in case.''

''Good to know. See you around traveler.'' and then he returned back on his post

'That guard was really friendly... i wonder...'

It has taken me 2 more hours to reach the village called goldshire. When i arrived there what i had seen was totally unexpected. Instead of a small town keep and blacksmith i saw several medieval houses closely resembling those from game all around indicating the village is lot more bigger than believed. The layout was mostly the same here and there. People all around are moving, traveling and talking cheerfully with children playing nearby, i could hear the sound of hammers making weapons at the blacksmith forge as well see a gryphon not far from the shop. To see it up close was little intimidating amazing at the same time.

Few of the townsfolk was selling along with several others variety of wares be it cloth, vegetables and fruit of seemingly exotic origin and what appears to be leather from skinned animals. Among other things there was some if i remember correctly gems that should be uncommon during mining ores in mines. Further down i saw cattle and sheep with some pigs in rows presumably also for sale not to forget vagons filled with chickens an other domesticated animals.

Then suddenly i got an idea. I could sell some of my spare clothes and robes i have in bag in order to get some copper coins since i had none and no copper ore to make them. Moving toward the tailor merchant i looked around and saw very nice textiles, some of silk, wool and other linen material displayed around in front.

Then merchant spoke

''Greetings! what i can do to help you young man?''

''You have some nice wares.''

''Why yes indeed, some of them are harder to come by, for many months have i traveled around the continent in search for more... exotic designs...''

''I have some wares of my own to sell if you are interested'' i said

''Ah! What do you have to offer?''

Then i opened my bag and only presented him the most beautiful cloth and robes i had on hand, knowing that the price might be worth it.

First was the robe which whould by his standard be extremely hard to find, it also is made of highly refined and clean textile material from earth that was pleasant to the touch. After carefully examining the robe for a minute or so he looked at me with wide eyes

''This is the best made fabric ive ever seen! It might be better than silk itself!'' he proclaimed with happiness and surprise

''So... How much are you willing pay for it?''

''Since this is excellent fabric, 70 silver at best.''

''Alright here are some other...'' and in the end i sold most of the clothes i had earning another 50 silver coins plus 10000 copper ones.

After that i decided to visit inn. All around at the wooden tables sat humans and dwarves drinking ale and singing making the atmosphere cheerful than usual. I turned to the barkeeper and said

''One glass of melon juice please.''

''Right away.''

Turning around i saw what appears to be hand slam challenge on one of the tables, since i had higher than normal human strength i considered participating. Finishing the glass of juice i asked the barkeeper

''Are they doing this often?''

''Well... cant say for sure, you see that dwarf over there? He is called ismir stonehand... have even heard that rarely who beats him in a fair match, usually those that accept come with almost broken hand in the end.''

'Well that is my status quo to earn possibly more coins.' thinking with smile

Then i sat up and walked to the crowd where dwarf has beaten another guy, moments later i made my entrance

''I presume you are ismir ironhand?''

''OH-HO! That's right ladie what i can do for ya.''

''I've heard that you do hand slam with coins on the bet'' i said

''Dis a challenge boy?''

''Indeed, how about we both put down the bet, all my coins at stake''

''Agreed ladie, i'l put three go...'' but i cut him off

''How about ten?''

Instantly others looked at me surprised for some reason and the crowd stopped cheering for the moment before yelling

''CHALLENGE! CHALLENGE! CHALLENGE!''

Even the other people from far away moved in closer to see which will win with great curiosity, i sat on the other side of the small table facing the dwarf with my right hand on the table in the position at the ready, he grabbed my palm in the same manner and one of the spectators has said ''BEGIN!''

Both of us used our hands pushing in each direction trying to pin each other fist down on table, dwarf strength was indeed great but unknown to him i was barely trying. Few moments later i began with little greater effort to push his hand down little bu little in order to look like i was trying hard, he then summoned every bit of strength he can muster but i pushed even harder. After 10 seconds or so his hand slammed the table in defeat. The spectators stood there in shock and awe.

Dwarf was panting tired trying to catch his breath then spoke

''Ladie... that was excellent challenge! It was been awhile since someone has bested me in match like this! Here, ten gold just as promised.''

I took the coins and put them in one of the smaller bags on my hip

''NOW LETS CELEBRATE! A FEAST! IN HONOR OF THE GREATEST CHALLENGE! Whats your name lad?''

''Toryan.''

''Well ladie you're earned yourself a biggest feast ever! Maid! Barkeeper! prepare the table for me and my frend here! My pay!''

And until the end of the day we ate, drank and exchanged few stories till the evening. After saying my goodbyes i approached the maid

''How much for one night?''

''Five silver coins.''

After paying all the drink and room i had gone upstairs, little groggy and dizzy from all the alcohol i drank and silently said to the device to store all the coins inside before i laid down the bed and slept.

THE NEXT MORNING

I woke up around the early at 08:00 with mild headache, apparently i haven't drank alcohol before. Slowly i moved to sit to the side of the bed and grabbed my head

'Ouch... that blasted ale really pack some punch, good i have nanites...'

'Better to get some water...'

For journey i kept stored some water from home and drank slowly to refresh myself before sitting up looking at the mirror

'Well... I've looked worse i suppose...' while staring at reflection

Then i picked my gear and walked down the stairs where i saw the barkeeper cleaning the bar table , then i said

''Morning.''

''Morning to you as well young lad, i see you had rough evening...''

''Its nothing...'' then i sat down at bar

''So, what do you need?''

''Just some information, about the stormwind and what to expect.''

''Well for one...'' he paused for a moment '' its really lively city, been there couple of times to visit some of my cousins from time to time, aside from lot of crowd that pass daily many live happily, also commerce is bigger however i suggest for you to visit auction house to see if they have some rather... rare goods to sell.''

''As for what to expect... well not much beside acting according to the law while in the city, also you can get all basic information there in the many libraries in the city.

''Thanks''

After a few more minutes i have exited the inn only to find that small town have already started to burst with some activity. For some reason it was time for me to get some proper armor and weapons since i had none and lot of coins, confident, started to pace towards the stormwind city. I could have bought it here in the village but i felt that in the city i could find much better quality gear there. Also heeding the advice of the barkeeper also i was interested in auction house, as for bank, i did not hold much interest in making a deposit there unless absolutely necessary.

Hour later i found myself staring at the massive wooden gates of the city, one of the guards approached me

''Halt stranger! State your name and intent.''

''My name is toryan the traveller and i came to settle in the city''

''Do you have some proof or your words?''

Then i showed him the scroll

''I see... Welcome to stormwind traveler, enjoy your stay.''

And not soon after i was looking at lifelike statues depicting four historic figures, two on each side adoring the entrance to the main gates, for me it was like being in a museum for a moment. The rest of the guards let me pass without a problem so i walked until i reached trade district. Ever since i have first lay eyes on it i stood there, eyes open looking at the houses, people and the other wares it sold. There were lot more merchants here than in goldshire selling all kind of goods.

'I should not have sold all of my clothing back then...'

Then i walked down the stormwind inn to check for any information. Just like in goldshire here it was bursting with all kind of activity. Immediately main came to me and said

''Welcome! How i may assist you?''

''Do you maybe have hearthstones? I have heard of them on my travels but never seen one.''

''Well of course. But they are given only to those with magical affinity and only respond to people as such. Originally they are made by druids but recently their use has dropped somewhat due to more... alternative ways of travel that mages and druids use.'' she said

''Alright, what do i need to do in order to test my affinity?''

''Just touch the stone and if it responds you can take it, its free of charge for everyone.''

Then i moved my hand to touch the stone. Seconds later it glowed very brightly instantly

'Whoa! That means i have high affinity for magic! And possess mana as well... excelent.'

''Okay, here is your stone, once you take it you must bound it to the specific location in the city and you will teleport there, just use some small object, move your stone to it and pour your magical energies to it to be bound.''

Instantly i frowned for a second but recovered as i took the stone and left the inn.

'Pour my magical energies? I have not even began to practice magic yet... Well, it seems i will have to proceed to plan A then'

After that i needed to decide in which part of town i will be staying, my idea was the old town but from what i remember about it, has some poor and partly lawless people on occasion, so instead i will move to mage quarter. I never understood why they painted the roofs in different color for each district but it did not bothered me.

Then a little exploring was in order. Another inn was there but not much populated, mostly by few travelers that kept to themselves most of the time. Then i spoke to the owner about getting permanent residence in the quarter, lucky me, there was a few of them abandoned for some time. Just one of them had hidden basement area that i discovered by accident that was perfect for my operations, The seller of the house did not know about it so i kept it a secret. But the residence was expensive for me to buy instantly much to my dismay. So in the end i had to rent the room at inn instead for the rest of february till i get enough coins.

After that was done all i needed to do is go to old town and buy the equipment i need to survive in the wilds, just to be on the safe side i bought several sets of armor made of iron, bronze and copper. As for weapons i opted for steel since it was by my opinion somewhat better choice for now, for that i visited dwarven district to check the local blacksmith. From kaita deepforge i bought hammer and mining pick along with few pounds of coal. I payed him the amount as agreed.

He told me that in order for me to actually fit in my gear he will need specific dimensions of my body, that includes both height and width, after that was done all that is needed is for me to make a weapon. For that i have prepared, did not want to buy or make it myself without raising suspicion, so i retreated back to the inn upper room, closed the door and instructed the device to convert, purify and synthesize the necessary bronze, copper, iron plus some steel bars before i slept for the day.

Next morning was... uneventful to say the least. Usual chores before going to work. Since blacksmith cannot make me a weapons and gear without proper materials i had to ether buy bars or use the device to make them from abundant samples i bought yesterday. Moving trough the merchant sales i saw some leather material, immediately i bought some light and heavier ones plus some wool, silk and linen material as well. My bag was nearly full so i bought more bags as well. Then i moved to auction house. There can be seen two to three auctioneers, one handling bids while other two had a small crowd of people around the lower stage floor arguing about prices most of the time. Moving along to the other auctioneer that was busy loading goods to the stage i said

''Excuse me? I need to know if there is a way for me to pick the goods in need on the scroll list?''

''Sure, you are not the first one to ask me that question, moment...'' he said while digging into some paperwork behind the stage in the office

''Ah here it is... its recent up to date list of fresh goods given to us by the miners, tailors, and blacksmiths, the shipment arrived just this morning...'' he said

With a nod i scrolled down the list slowly looking for anything of interest, and the first thing was minerals. Both mithril and truesilver were the first,next are some rough, solid and heavy grinding stones for sharpening purposes and finally for now, some mageweave cloth textiles which are quite beautiful and nice to touch.

''I will take 6 bars of both mithril and truesilver, ten rough, five solid and heavy grinding stones and 3 mageweave textiles for now. How much i need to pay?''

Scrolling trough the papers he said

''Well for the amount you have decided to take... about two gold and forty silver.''

'Next time i will not go to auction unless i have lot of gold.' Thought to myself while moving out

While most of these materials i have bought are not stored in device database i returned to the abandoned house and activated the hidden passage in order to enter it. There i made a quick Scans on both mithril, truesilver and mageweave cloth. I spoke to EVA

''Please scan the selected materials.''

''Analyzing...''

''Analysis complete.''

''Describe the properties.''

''Mithril is possesses several times both strength and density several times than that of steel while being lighter.''

''Truesilver possesses several unusual properties that seem to emit very low non lethal EM field that from my hypothesis is magical in origin giving it said properties which will enhance resistance to magic if applied to armor - for weapons it might give random magical property which can boost the attack power of the said weapon by the orders of magnitude.''

''Mageweave is emitting similar magical field that is also harmless but overall that whould indicate that it is imbued with magic in origin.''

'So that is what it means... not bad.'

''Can the both said minerals be combined along with steel to create armor and weapons?'' asked curious

''Probability is 83%''

'Alright, time to meet the blacksmith.'

Ensuring that nobody has seen me quickly left the area. Later have arrived at the forge, giving him the materials from which he will make the set of armor. Since i wanted it to be specific masterpece i was allowed to supervise its creation giving suggestions here and there, he also said it will be possible to mix steel with truesilver and mithril to give it unique properties. He already has measured the size of it for the perfect fit when its done. The weapon will consist of the same said material. Armor will be a mix of both mail and plate for all sets: Chest - gloves - wrist - boots - legs - shoulder - belt and helm. My weapon of choice was both one handed swords and one two handed sword which will be larger and longer than one handed ones. I didnt opt for shield just yet as i felt no need for it as of now.

After i have given him approximate dimensions of the weapons drawn on big scroll paper i left for inn to sleep for the day.

For the next 4 days i have lived in the inn after receiving the message via courier from blacksmith during the third day of stay. Apparently it was a far greater challenge to make both armor and weapons of the said material and i dont blame him, so in the meantime i explored the city and signed in the charter marking me as official citizen of stormwind. With it received a few scrolled documents and small donation of 90 copper as a start. Moving on i visited the keep library wing, reading over the histories, information on creatures and others in hope to find some information about taping into mana and magical energies in order to gain more understanding on subject, but there was little of that written here or not kept by the librarian. So i kept reading. On occasion i visited beautiful cathedral of holy light with pristine fountain in the middle square with flowers and benches adoring around it, usually i spent most of the day sitting, clearing my thoughts.

A week since i arrived on azeroth nothing has changed much. Still having lot of coins to spare in reserve as of now so i was not worried. Food even less since i had it in abudance. I was in my room back in the inn when message arrived that armor and weapons are finished and waiting. Smiling at the news have then picked up the coins pouches and pulled them in a bigger bag before moving out.

During these last 4 days i did not only sit in library reading and sightseeing, i was preparing. I made a schedule at a leather worker shop back in the old town that i will be bringing both armor and materials in order to customize it to improve comfort and to make it easier to maneuver inside of it like more free movements. Weapon holders were also to be made for all my swords.

For my mageweave cloth have planned to make a cloak to adore my new armor. It was to go all the way down to my knees but not ground, also bleached white with silver lining along the edges. Since that textile was of shining material it is expected to look pristine when done.

Walking down the road of dwarven district i arrived at the shopwhere blacksmith waited for me

''Greetings ladie! How ya been?''

''Just as usual therum, was it hard to make?''

''Quite, amount of material was not the issue lad, just the whole process of blending the materials together perfectly, also its rare for me to make such masterpiece...'' he sighed and lowered to look at the set of big craters to the side

''Why is that?''

''Because not everyone is so creative to make and not everyone has the same mastery of being a blacksmith to make such pristine armor and weapons, in other words lad, what i made here today for you will probably protect you for the rest of yar life.''

I fell relieved instantly at his last words, in a way comforting to know that with my instructions he has made such remarkable art

''I see... Very well, how much do i need to pay?''

''Well considering all the hard work and canceling most of my schedule... 10 gold for both weapons and armor.''

Suddenly i froze on spot with wide eyes with worry, that expensive? I only had around 7 gold total but it was not enough. Deciding that calm approach is needed i said

''Do you have the price list on them written i need to see it if you do please.''

Therum looked at me for a few seconds with strange look before handling me over the sheet of paper with prices on it

'So the armor set as a whole is exactly 5 gold... BOTH one handed swords 3 gold? Is that a joke? And two handed sword 2 gold? thought while frowned so i asked

''The both one handed swords 3 gold along with two handed sword 2 gold? Please explain to me why are weapons so expensive?'' i demanded

''Well ladie, after ive finished the swords of both one handed and two handed i noticed something special about them, something totally different.''

He then from the desk behind the table pulled out the said swords, the first thing to be noticed by me was the hilt, it was silvery white with the two distinct wings like that of an angel looking stealthed in a mixture of both oval and blocky shape. On top of the hilt was silver markings similar to that of a rune marking on runeswords only different.

He then unstealthed the sword slowly. The next thing that happened sword emitted brilliant white light before dissipating until it is completely unstealthed.

He was right, the sword was unlike any other ever made. It periodically shimmered and emitted pulsating glow around the sword completely and its edges. The glow was silvery - blue in color, in the middle away from the edges were the same but somewhat different runes in a language i dont recognize being engraved.

''What happened?''

''If this is right and i just hope it is...'' he paused scratching his head

''What?'' i asked instantly

''What i need to tell you is of a certain story, a legend that existed couple thousand years back but almost forgotten.'' He paused to catch breath and then continued ''I dont know the details but according to ancient script, a certain being with great power will be chosen by the drive the evil back and inspire peace and order across the land and dull the dark blade that once existed within the frost that dangers life on an unknown land.''

'Why does that sound so... familiar...? COULD IT BE?! NO! It must be a coincidence... Was this part of my own destiny? My path?' i thought with look of disbelief on my face

''From what ive seen of this sword, it is almost painted the same by my ancestors long ago before the scrolls were destroyed long ago, but story is still passed on to generations lad, my great great great great great grandfather if i'm right has kept crude painted engraved letters that are not too identical from what i see here."

He then pulled out the another sheet of paper showing me what he saw

'How is this possible? The ALMOST same engraved markings! This cant be a coincidence...'

''Then it is true... it must be... the being that existed long ago... now the sword...'' silently have begun to speak, information little hard to take in

''Sorry lad but by helping you create the swords and armor it whould seem that ancient prophecy has come true...''

''Did the sword change on its own during the forging?'' i asked for another clue

He slightly widened his eyes in surprise and said

''Y...Yes... it did... along with armor.''

''Armor?!''

''Yes, everything that i helped forge for you changed from what i have initially wanted to make, i dont know if this could be sole kind of link or not but... did you by any chance touched the said bar materials before you came to me?''

''I did... Wait! You mean to tell me that somehow my own soul or spirit infused the materials with it so that when they are refined and used for forging they change to reflect my own personality for example, or even mirror my own soul in it?'' i asked in a serious incredulous voice

''Well...What you just described to me makes some sense, even to me. Soul infused with the armor and weapons could hold power that possibly rivals the titans.''

''Are the other swords the same?''

''Almost, iv'e noticed also different markings on them as well slight change in glow color.''

''You said my armor also changed, show me.''

He then opened the craters where armor stood revealing beautiful chest that reflected my own face like a mirror. It was collored in chrome silver - white with shining mail sparks adoring the lower part of the torso, gloves upper hand palm area was covered in plate that was fused with mail on the other side of the palm.

Helm Was oval in size like that of a footman but difference is that it was engraved in letters around the edges similar to those on weapons only smaller, lower part was open in the also similar way to that of a lich king crown only without the crude metal nose loosed forward, instead it can be attached to the nose freely.

Boots had heavy amount of plate on the outside while mail was more defined near the edges that were also fused with plate on upped part of it.

Shoulders looked astonishing. From them emanated faint white light along the edged that seemed to shot upward in slots. first one was bigger, second one had smaller dimensions and shoot less upward, third one was forward and the last one, the lower part of the segment was curved from downward to upward. It also had places for a cloak on both chestplate and shoulderpads.

The legs were more sleek and engraved as well just as any of the armor pieces. Some of the art can be seen up front and side of the upper leg part. Knee part had both mail and plate infused as well while on the edge where the knee is oval curve shaped wings stacked together can be seen fused as well.

The wrist was oval to fit my wrists but other wrist shape was different, probably in order for me to use the wristwatch. Fused with mail on the inside and plate on the outside.

The last is the belt, I could see lot of engraved markings adoring it along the silvery white plate from all directions. it also had some support areas that fit along with leg and chestpiece that could attach itself like a magnet when being worn.

All of the armor pieces emitted some sort of EM field that is harmless and faintly gloving in some areas indicating its magical properties the biggest part that gloved were in fact shoulders and chest but much less the latter.

''This armor... it looks almost angelic compared to many others i have seen in my lifetime lad. Completely unlike any other, however i cannot take all the credit for its making.'' he said

''Why is that.'' asking with strange look on my face

''Because for the most part i have only helped create it, not finish it like i intended to do. Dont get me wrong ladie i could not be more proud of what ive done but...'' He paused for moment before continuing while looking at the armor and weapons

''But now... it feels like what i helped create for you and asking something in return, especially something measured like gold will ruin it... he said with sad tone in his voice

He then directed his own gaze upon my face and said with great truth

''I have decided!'' he spoke loud

I sat up as well looking at him and said ''About what?''

''I have decided to give you all that i have helped forge myself... As a gift.'' he spoke in definite voice

I looked at him in surprise and shock for a what seemed like an eternity before breaking the silence

''But what about the pri...'' i was cut off

''This armor and weapons, from what i have learned from you and my ancestors like the solved pieces of the puzzle, is not meant to be bought... Only Gifted.'' he spoke with clarity of truth

Then tears started to flow from my eyes from the sudden happiness as i started to wipe them off slowly away from my cheeks while looking at the floor. He then came to me and hugged me friendly way slowly tapping my back. at that moment i yelled aloud with great truth and conviction while tears were still on my face. ''Easy ladie, everything is going to be fine...''

''I pledge oath... In the name of honor - justice - peace - knowledge and all that sparks life that i will NEVER give up! That i will fulfill my destiny and protect this world with mind, body and soul as long i EXIST! I screamed out my last words as they were absolute

Then The all armor pieces and swords suddenly illuminated the whole shop with blinding light and i was engulfed within second. The last thing i saw was dark.

MINDSCAPE

Suddenly i woke up in a wast expanse of white light. There was no land nor water. Looking around i saw three human like beings from afar slowly approaching toward me. After what seemed to be and eternity i looked upon their faces. To my shock they were the images of myself only somehow different. one of them was more muscular and slightly taller. One of them came and spoke to me in voice with great clarity

''So we finally meet...''

''Yes... we did not think we will be able to reach you in time...'' The other spoke

'They are almost identical to me, but their voice is filled with warmth and wisdom...'

''Yes... that is also true Toryan...''

Beginning to slowly realize what happened i sat up facing the two identical twins of myself

''You represent weapons that have been forged'' i spoke neutrally

''That is correct... I and my younger twin here represent one hand swords...''

''And our older twin here represent two hand sword...'' the other spoke

''Then this place does not not represent my mind... but my soul.''

''Correct... The soul is a reflection that mirror persons heart... The reason why this place is white with light indicate that you chose to take the next step forward...''

''Your heart right now is calm... filled with clear thoughts indicating your soul is mostly pure...''

''However you are still not completely pure mind... many past deeds darken your path...''

''The only way to release your mind from past torment is to face it...''

''What i need to do.''

''To cleanse your spirit... you must first... Be calm like the sky...''

Understanding came upon me , meditation was the key.

''What are your names...''

''Eo'lar'' Spoke the left twin

''Hyl'nor'' Spoke the oldest twin

''Alc'ynir'' Spoke the right twin

After that my mind went dark.

When i wake up moments later i looked around to see light that emanated from the armor and swords stopped. Taking a moment to stand up i saw dwarf lying unconscious on the floor. Moving over to him i kelt to wake him up

''Hey... Hey!''

''W... Wha... Oh... My head... What happened?''

''It appears that the spirits indeed inhabit the weapons. They spoke to me.''

''Well... that was then probably bound to happen sooner or later... i just didnt expect it so suddenly boy...'' he said while standing up

''Can i?'' i said while pointing at the sword

''Sure, try it out lad.''

Second later i grabbed the sword hilt trying to lift it up by something unexpected happened.

''By the muradins beard! Lad! Whats wrong!'' he said worried

''I... Dont... Know...'' I said while barely holding the sword in my hands as it was heavy like a ton. Second later the sword slipped from my hand falling to the wooden floor nearly making sword shaped hole in it. Taking moment to catch my breath i looked at it before switched my gaze to pair of gloves. moving to put it on my right hand only to find similar result as if the gravity of my hand increased while wearing it, unable to withstand the weight i let it fall down the floor with same result.

''Hah...hah... hah... 'Why are they so heavy? What is going on here?!'

''Oh... so that is what is going on...''

''What is wrong?'' i said still panting little from exhaustion

''Lad, tell me, did you had any training at all? I'm saying this because i just now realised exactly what the problem is...'' he said with serious voice

'Training! How could i forgot... it makes perfect sense now, i have not trained during my lifetime at all exept walking but that is not real training! That whould mean i need to train rigorously in order to war and use my new weapons, and i dont even have experience in swordsmanship!' I will need to adress that first'

''You are right... i have no experience to properly wield sword nor trained at all so i can wear it... i said

''HO-HO! Dont be disheartened so lad, you can still manage somehow, i know you can, look i will take your equipment and store it in my special safe back in the shop so nobody will find it. In the meantime you can train to harden yourself lad, so dont ya worry...''he said while smiling

''Thanks, but i have planned to take the items in order to add few upgrades to the other shop''

''No problem lad, here i will help you by giving you cart to transport them but remember to return them here when you are finished, okay?''

''I will thanks.'' while shaking hands and departed soon after

That day i still had schedule with tailor and leatherworker. Moving to old town i saw couple of beggars on the sidewalk begging me for coins. I donated few copper and immediately they smiled at me thanking me for the free charity.

Moving on i found the leatherworker and said

''Hellooo!. Anyone here?'' i said loud

''Oh hello there, i see you are back with the said items, so, what i can help you with.''

''I need hilt for the swords i have plus some internal armor set changes such as leather on the inside, preferably comfortable but not too warm ether for all sets.''

''Lets see it then...''

Then i opened the crates showing pristine armor made including swords. He looked in awe at them and spoke

''Lad, i must not be a blacksmith but these are the best and most beautiful masterpieces ive saw in lifetime! Where did you make them?''

''Just today were finished back in the dwarven district.''

''I see, that must be therum deepforge, he realy made the new record...'' he said admiring the armor

''Well, in any case i will need some leather to make the added apparel, do you have leather?'' Second later i opened bag giving the said material

''Hmm... These should do nicely, good condition, well skinned...'' while examining the leather

''Just a question, has anyone been to northrend to gather some leather there?''

''Unfortunately, no, many people that have gone there have ether never came back or never heard again, but i have some other quality spare leather in stock.''

''Oh i just remembered something, can you put enchanted leather on armor instead?''

''Well... It will take little more time for that, you plan on bringing it?''

''Yea, i just need to take the leather here back to the enchanter first, will it be okay to wait till i get back?''

''Sure, no rush i have plenty of time.'' he said

After that i packed up all my gear and supplies and moved to the enchanter shop near canal

''Oh! Another visitor! How may i help you?'' she said

''Hi, i need some leather enchanted.''

''No problem, just give it to me and it will be done, also which magical effects you want on them?''

''Well... preferably resistance to magic will be fine''

''Oh that is easy, very well, anything else?''

''No, that will do for now...'' I could have asked to ehchant my armor and weapons but i dont have mats for it so i didnt opt for it

After the 30 min or so leather was done

''How much.''

''Lets see... 1 gold and 40 silver for all leather''

After paying the coins i took ehchanted leather and brought it back to leather shop. Leatherworker said it will be done in a few hours. Next task is tailor, arriving at the shop i greeted

''Greetings!''

''Greetings to you as well friend, what i can do for you?'' he said

''I have some cloth and i need cloak for my armor.''

''Lets see the cloth then...'' he said while i presented him material

''Ohhhh... this is some nicely made enchanted textile. Very skillfully made indeed.''

''I trust you remember the specifics?''

''Why yes! Just as we spoke before it will be done by the end of the afternoon.''

''Thanks, i will return by then.'' before leaving

Soon after that i returned to the inn for little rest and nap.

THAT EVENING

Messenger knocking at the door woken me up so i stood up and opened the door

''Sir, two messages for you from the shop owners.''

''Thanks.'' while opening the letter and reading it, only to smile moments later

That evening i was excited. First i visited again the leather shop, paying nearly again 1 gold for services. Armor was not decorated internally with soft to the touch, fur and animal skin indicating that shows comfort just like i asked to be made. Sword hilt was perfect fit and made from specific very hardened animal skin not too thick and it was tested to be perfect sword holders, as a bonus it got animal skin belt that goes with it to be mounted on my armor chest and belt.

Back on tailor shop my new cloak was simply a beautiful art. It was sparkling with white color and golden edges all around it, it had two circles on upper top that merges with armor shoulder and chest. Paying 3 gold coins, i left with all my new brand cloak and gear only to return back to the blacksmith shop to give it to therum for safekeeping until time is right.

THE NEXT DAY...

It was usual day. Since my coins were dwindling slowly i used them to by normal mail armor and some iron sword that are somewhat higher than average.

Since gold was really an issue i needed to earn it, having no gold bars to make them with device, it was decided that gathering materials are in order so i can sell it at the merchants area. buying the skining knife i moved out to the wilds.

First i went into fargodeep mine. It was infested with Kobolts. Since my superior strength and speed plus the sword it was not too hard to dispatch most of them, using my mining pick in coordination with the device neural interface embedded in my eyes i started to dig for copper, tin and silver. When i first arrived over a week ago i planned to get some ore out of the mines to sell for profit. After a 5 or so hours of hard work i got several pounds of it, silver was little present but i managed to get some, then i used the device to refine it into bars and put them in bag.

While in the wild forests i encountered few bears and wolves lurking around, the reason i went into the forest is not to make any shortcut but to kill few animals for leather. Both said animals are little challenge but in numbers they were vicious

''Au! Au! Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu !'' wolf howled

'Oh great, another pack of them... Need to be very careful...'

Slowly hiding in the nearby bush, not noticing that i have accidentally stopped on a branch

''Crack!''

'OMG!'

Wolves then charged at me and with some effort i cut them down, but not before getting some cuts and bruises muyself

''Hah... hah... hah... while panting from the skrimish

'That was harder than expected... i should be more on alert...'

And so i moved to skin the animal slowly

''Jesus, this is disgusting! How these skiners do it without puking i have no idea...' thought while practicing

For the quite a few days i have been farming ore and leather earning 3 - 5 gold coins every day by selling them to various merchants in both goldshire and stormwind. The device again helped alot. It produced purest form ore bars and finest leather after several tests over viability. Soon by the end of the month, had around 90 gold and rising, bartering was also something i learned to pick upon quickly and that helped as well. Soon many people wanted to buy goods specifically from me much to the dismay of other sellers which let to stronger opposition in terms of quality but then again, it havent made much difference.

When having time or nothing to do i spent time practicing with my sword. Training was hard for me but i was thankfully motivated and had will to see it training consisted of swinging it up and down in front of me for hours till i felt exausted. Others are jogging around in the city giving me looks from more than a few citizens but i didnt payed attention. Doing push ups and sit ups while in the inn upper room and wild clearing and even relaxing while practicing meditation near the quiet area near the forest lake. Nanites helped me control my blood flow pressure at all times so it was good.

By the end of the february i have more than enough gold to purchase my house in mage district. Furniture was also ordered like bookshelves, tables, cooking pot and other things that house needs in medieval times. Saying my goodbye to the innkeeper and moving to my new permanent home i settled in. I definitely did not forget about the secret passage, Immediately i began to settle my things there like refrigerator. Had to reconfigure it to run without electricity, instead to be charged with compact wristwatch made from the electronic parts, batteries. They can last for 6 months when charged with the device energy (note that energy of device is replenished over time) on demand so i have plenty of them stacked. Other food and clothing from earth that includes hardware is stored there as well.

And for tomorrow i had to think about which course of training to take next. My muscles are now much more defined on 70% of my body, and fat in my stomach areas are decreasing steadily showing muscles little by little. Before i came here ive had nearly 90kg total and that was horrible. Standing on the top of the scale it was around 84kg but i was not satisfied, since childhood i was not naturally fat, that came later in life and i regret not have trained then but thought was pushed aside as now have had the means and will to train my body beyond its limits in order to take that exces fat stores.

The next course of action was to choose which class trainer to pick first. Hunter, warlock and rogue are out of the question as i did not like wielding daggers and guns plus manipulating dark energies. Priest - druid - paladin - mage and shaman training have already planned year for each one. Warrior training is first on my list however i do not plan on learning new attacks or such, just gaining experience with the sword while reducing weight at the same time. unlike the other classes this type of class training will be only 6 months in which i have to practice way beyond what i was capable of.

Laying on the bed i closed my eyes and began to sleep.

Chapter is done guys! review!
