Hi, I am so sorry for the late update. Hope you enjoy this chapter.
Amy thinks back on a moment from her childhood. She was about ten years old, only a few months before her father headed too that dreaded battle at Warsong. Amy and her father were walking along a path in Eversong woods. She remembers it being her morning, Amy always enjoyed listening to the sounds of the birds, as she watches the sun rise. It's rays lighting up all the colorful trees.
They stop to rest a moment, Amy remembers the chill in the air, and the gentle breeze. Amy and her father sit beneath a tree. "Amy, I don't want you to worry about me while I am away." "Father, how do you know I have been worried?" Amy wondered. "My dear, you are so easy to read. So tell me, what troubles you?" "I'm just afraid that you won't return to me and mother." Amy cries out. "My sweet Amy, you are much too young to worry about such things. I will be fine, and return in only a weeks' time. Then one day when you are older, you'll head out on your own adventures, and I'll be the one worrying about you." Her father calmly explains to her. "Father, you know that mother will never allow me to leave." "I know your mother Amy, but I also know you, just follow your heart. Let it lead you to the path of your own choosing." "What do you mean?" Amy asks. "You'll understand when you are older dear. Now come on we should be heading back, before your mother starts to worry." "Ok father."
Amy realizes that's the last memory she has of her father. Since that day, she has always to his advice to heart. Not that it matters much now Amy thinks, as her mind wonders back to the present.
She looks on, with fear in her eyes, as she realizes now that it's actually a druid taking on the scourge. She can't tell what race they are, considering not many druids pass through Silvermoon.
Slowly she backs away from the fight, hoping to get away before the scourge realize that she's still there. Apparently luck doesn't seem to be on her side today. As she's backing up she steps on a branch, it snapping beneath her boots. She holds her breath, praying that no one heard. As she looks around, she spots a single scourge heading in her direction. It slowly approaches her, it's arms reaching out, hoping to make Amy its next meal. Amy begins to panic, her mind drawing a blank of the little training she received on fighting. Amy was trained in healing not fighting, the shadow magic she knows, she learned from her friend. She holds her staff in front of her, and prepares to fight. She refuses to go down easy. When the druid leaps in front her and pounces on the scourge, before it can fully reach her, it's teeth tearing into the undead flesh. Amy feels her stomach turn at the site. When she looks around at her surroundings, she notices the bodies of all the scourge. She can't believe that a single druid took on that many. Amy looks back in the direction of the druid to see them shifting out a cat form, and she is shocked to find not a member of the horde, but of the alliance, a night elf. She's never actually seen a night elf before, or any other member of the alliance for that matter. He's tall, taller than a blood elf. He has purple hair, that seems to reach all the way down his back. She should have known that this druid wasn't a member of the horde, just by the eyes. This night elf's eyes seem to glow a bright amber. She's captivated by him, but knows she should leave. She has already seen what he's capable of. He would have no trouble killing her, if he wanted.
She has always heard horrible stories of the alliance from travelers passing through the city. Also not to mention what happened to her father all those years ago. Ever since then she's always thought of night elves as a cruel, evil race. Looking at this elf now though, she finds it hard to think that way. She still fears him, who wouldn't, but he did just save her life. So she figures he doesn't want to kill her.
The night elf begins to approach her, while Amy's deep in thought wondering if she should try to sneak away, or if she should just stay put. She's never been in this kind of situation before, and realizes she doesn't want him to know she fears him. He probably already thinks of her as weak. She then notices that the night elf has been speaking, while she was zoned out. She's surprised she can even understand him. Then realizes that he's speaking to her in Thallasian. She's curious to how he knows the blood elf language.
"I'm sorry can you repeat that?" Amy asks. "I asked if you were alright." "Yeah I'm fine. Who are you and why did you even bother to save me?" "My name is Summanus Moongazer, and it looked like you were in quite a bit of trouble. Had I not intervened you most likely wouldn't have survived." "Well I appreciate it, but as you can see I'm fine now, so you can leave." "Are you sure? This is quite the dangerous place; you shouldn't be wondering around alone." "Then why are you even here" Amy questions "This isn't exactly the type of place one expects to find a night elf, and a druid at that." Amy retorts back. Summanus looks at her kind of sheepishly. "Well, you see, I was actually sent here to spy on your people." "Oh really? And did you happen to find anything interesting?" You mean other than finding a young sin'dorei, who seems to not know how to handle herself on her own." "I was handling things just fine, I didn't need your help." Amy's really beginning to get fed up with this guy. "Really? Because it didn't look that way to me." He says to her. "Whatever,if we are done here, I have to get going." Amy explains while beginning to walk away. "And what were you even doing out here in the first place?" "None of your business." Amy retorts back. "I didn't even catch your name!" he shouts after her. "That's because I never gave it!" She shouts back to him. "It's Amethyst!" Amy yells over her shoulder, as she heads back towards Tranquillan.
Amy walks for what feels like forever, when she finally makes it back to the small town. She's relieved to finally be back, glad that she made it out of this whole ordeal alive. She makes her way over to the same building as before, to report that she is back. She realizes that her mission didn't take as long as she thought it would, it's only now nearing sunset. She just hopes that she is done with this dreary place. She walks inside the building, only to find one forsaken in there now. He looks her way as she walks over to him. "Back already?" He asks her. "You had better have something of importance to tell me." Amy nervously proceeds to explain what she saw, leaving out the part where she almost dies, and a night elf had to save her. "Well I did kind of run into some complications, but I did find out that all the scourge seem to be hanging around Deathholm." "That's good." He tells her. "Now we can start getting groups together to drive them out of our land." "Do you need me for anything else?" Amy asks. "No,that's all we need you for. We're going to be bringing in more experienced people to deal with this." Amy's relieved at hearing this. She doesn't want to spend another day in this place, but she doesn't know where she'll go now. She's not quite ready to return home yet. As Amy is thinking this, the forsaken interrupts her thoughts. "Well you did do a good job of informing us of whats going on so here is your pay." He hands over 20 gold pieces. "Thank you." Amy is surprised. "I didn't realize I was going to be paid. Well if you don't need me for anything else, I shall be on my way." Amy heads out of the building, making her way back to the inn. She figures she'll spend one last night here before heading out in the morning. She doesn't know where she'll decide to go, but figures she'll just travel around exploring all the places she has never been. She jusy hope that she doesn't run into any more trouble.
I'm sorry, this chapter is my shortest one yet. I have no idea when the next update will be. I need more ideas for this story.
