A rather short interlude, but R&R plz!


Interlude: Varimathras' Farewell

Royal Quarters, The Undercity, Year 35

In the very depth of the Undercity, miles away from Kalimdor, stood a long figure, she was pale yet tall, with a long bow slung across her back. Her name was Sylvanas Windrunner, the Dark Lady, Banshee Queen of the Forsaken.

Someone knocked on the door to the room in which Sylvanas stood, brooding over the siege of the Undercity by the Scourge. She said in a cold dark tone: "Enter."

A demonic figure entered, he has large wings and a set of curved horns on his head. He was Varimathras, Majordomo to the Banshee Queen; some even considered that he was the real leader of the Forsaken, which was of course false, until now.

"Varimathras, shouldn't you be patrolling the outer defences? The Scourge could attack any moment." said Sylvanas in the sane dark tone as before.

"The Scourge would attack, and we will lose." muttered the sinister Dreadlord.

"How can you say that Varimathras? We are the Forsaken, we are the free ones, we have achieved no Undead has ever achieved! We cannot be defeated!" exclaimed the Dark Lady, annoyed by Varimathras' pessimism.

"You mean you have achieved all those, my Lady. But do you really think we can hold the Scourge back? Do you really think we can survive one more attack? Your tactics are failing, and a new one would need to be found, and I have just the one."

"What Varimathras? Invite the demons from the Twisting Nether and ask them to destroy the Scourge but not us? Or are you thinking about joining force with the Scarlet Crusade! Or better yet, ask the Alliance to help us!" Sylvanas snarled in rage, fits of rage has plagued her for the last few months.

"Why Milady you got it right, we will summon the demons from the Twisting Nether. Already my servants are preparing to open new portals, soon we will lift the siege and free the Plaguelands of the Scourge!" Varimathras said with a tone that suggested he was mad.

"You… you are mad Varimathras, I will not allow it! Haven't you remembered…" but her words were cut off by Varimathras.

"Oh, I think you will allow it, Milady." A dark grin appeared on Varimathras' face, and with one swipe of his adamantium-tipped claws, the reign of the Banshee Queen was ended.
