Don't own nothing but the idea of this story and the rogues.
Kayla strapped her sword belt to Lightbringer's saddle and sheathed both of her daggers. The two undead guards glared at her as she made sure that they could see her disarming herself. She secured her bow and her throwing dagger before removing all of her armor save for her white tunic undershirt, her dark leather pants and her leather boots. Lightbringer nudged her a bit and she pushed the horse away.
"Go on, I should be alright. They've just ogled me for the past ten minutes. Probably shock the hell out of them when I ask them. Now go see if you can a patch of grass or something. I'll call you when I'm ready." Kayla told the horse. Lightbringer was reluctant to leave his master but the friendly smack on his rump got him moving. Kayla smiled and shook her head as Lightbringer found a tree nearby and sat down.
Kayla took in a deep breath and let it out as she slowly approached the two undead guards to the Undercity. They watched her with glaring eyes, daring her to make the wrong move. She raised her arms in the air as she got close enough for them to point their swords at her chest.
"That's close enough, human. You have no business here." One guard said. The other guard frowned, still disappointed she had stopped undressing.
"I'm unarmed as you saw. I mean no harm, I just wish to pay my respects to the ashes of King Terenas." Kayla said.
"How do we know you're not an alliance spy?" The first guard snapped. Kayla rolled her eyes.
"Do I actually have to get naked for you to at least trust me enough to let me talk to a stone throne?" Kayla said. The second guard chuckled and the first one threw a look at him.
"Go before we change our minds about killing you." The first guard said. The other sighed and mumbled under his breath. Kayla grumbled under breath and then was suddenly knocked down to her knees by the second guard.
"Out of the way if you know what's good for you." The guard said. Kayla looked up at them as they stood up straight and saluted. Frowning, Kayla looked out at the road and saw Queen Sylvanas Windrunner and the Warchief Thrall. There were a few others with them, but Kayla took to a bow before she could take notice. Sylvanas stopped her horse and looked down at the human bowing on the ground.
"What is this?" The banshee queen asked. The first guard scoffed.
"Some human who thinks we should let her inside the city, my lady." The guard said. Kayla heard a horse step closer to where she had seen Sylvanas stop.
"Sylvanas, we have to get these plans together. We don't have time for this." The voice of a male blood elf said. Kayla cringed at his voice and forced herself to focus on something else. Memories of the past 10 years wasn't going to help her.
"Go on inside and get them ready for us to plan. I want to see what this human wants." Sylvanas said as she waved the blood elf away. The blood elf bowed his head to her and urged his horse into the city. Everyone except for Thrall followed him.
"You're thinking of granting her request, Sylvana?" Thrall asked. Kayla smiled to herself, glad she had taken the time during her exile in the Outlands to learn Orcish and a few other languages. Horde and Alliance didn't really mean much in the Outlands.
"I'd like to know what it is first. Besides, would you turn away someone that's unarmed like her?" Sylvanas said in Orcish. She cleared her throat and began in common. "Rise human. I wish to know why you want to be admitted into my city."
"I merely wish to speak my peace to King Terenas. I was sent away before his death and have recently been able to return." Kayla said as she rose to her feet, but kept her face down, hoping not to anger the undead queen. Sylvanas reached down and yanked Kayla's chin up to look at her face.
"What's your name, human?" Sylvanas asked. Kayla tried not to look the woman in the eyes, but had no choice the way she was holding her chin.
"Kayla Nightsbane, my lady." Kayla said. Thrall snorted and Sylvanas turned Kayla's head from side to side, noticing her eyes.
"I remember you, the little rogue that followed Arthas around, yes?" Sylvanas asked as she released Kayla's chin. Kayla smirked and nodded.
"I believe it was the other way around. Or more like he dragged me behind him where ever he went." Kayla said.
"You were not here for the funeral?" Sylvanas asked. Kayla shook her head.
"No, my lady. I didn't know he had died until I returned from the Outlands to see my dying father, but was so full of grief of losing him that I couldn't bare to be on Azeroth any longer and returned to the Outlands. It was only recently I was informed of all the misfortune that happened in my absence." Kayla said, choosing her words carefully. Sylvanas sighed and sat up in her saddle.
"Yes, I remember now. Uther had sent you away to help improve your sister's training. Perhaps that was a mistake on the old paladin's part. Come, I will allow your moment before you return to your king." Sylvanas said. Kayla bowed her head.
"Thank you, your majesty. But my king is dead. Varian will never be my king." Kayla said quickly. Sylvanas laughed and Thrall looked down at her.
"Yes, I've heard rumors about that as well. Come, I will see you to the throne and make sure you are not bothered." Sylvanas said. Kayla nodded and followed the two horde leaders into the ruins of Lordaeron. Dozens of horde members stopped what they were doing and stared as Kayla followed Sylvanas and Thrall to the throne of Terenas.
"Get out." Thrall announced as they entered the throne room. Everyone cleared out leaving the three of them alone.
"I will have guards posted at the door to ensure you have privacy. Once you are done, I have instructed them to escort you out of the city. I am sure you won't cause a problem and leave quickly once you're done?" Sylvanas asked. Kayla nodded.
"You've been most kind, your majesty. I would be a fool to cause you any more grief." Kayla said. Thrall laughed which caused Kayla to jump a bit.
"Why can't all the alliance be like you, girl?" Thrall said as he walked for the door. Sylvanas watched as Thrall left and shook her head. She turned back to Kayla and gave her a sad smile.
"I hope this can bring you some sort of peace." Sylvanas said. Kayla bowed deeply to the banshee.
"I hope so too." Kayla said softly. Sylvanas nodded and walked out of the room. As she closed the door, Thrall stood at her side
"Am I to assume that we're to stay and listen?" Thrall asked. Sylvanas nodded.
"Not for what you think. This girl was first trained under Uther, suppose to be a paladin with Arthas. Something happened and she was taken in by the rogues. I think there's more to her story that we know. Plus I've heard her name before, recently I believe. I just don't remember where." Sylvanas said. Thrall shrugged and sat down on a bench near the door.
Not where I wanted this chapter to end, but short on time and it seemed like a good stopping point. please R&R so I know how much people think I'm "special" lol
