Chapter 10 Traitor
Dranor forced his way through the undergrowth, and found the clearing he had been looking for. "Kel Thuzad? Are you here?" he called out, "Of course I am." Came a raspy voice, suddenly the winds picked up and a ghostly figure appeared, he looked like a necromancer except he had a long beard and had rune covered robes. "I am always here death knight." "You know if I am discovered plotting to free the Scourge and the Lich King, I will face severe consequences… as you did." "Then don't let yourself be discovered, and you won't be tortured and executed as I was." "What makes you think I will be any more successful you where necromancer?" asked Dranor, " I was over confident, I thought I could lead the Scourge in rebellion." Said Kel Thuzad But many remained loyal to the Legion, thanks to the dread lords. But you have a weapon of the Lich King himself! You are clearly the one destined to free him and the Scourge!" Dranor was very surprised at this, "You mean Frostmourne?" he said holding up the blade, "Yes death knight. It was once imprisoned in the frozen throne as he is now; he once forced it out so that it will find its way to a champion who would free him and the Scourge." "How am I to do all this?" asked Dranor, "You must seal the Legion back into Outworld. Only then can you rally the Scourge and free Ner'Zhul, the lich king." "Hmmmm, I have an idea." Said Kratos with an evil smile, "But first I need to make some allies."
Minnie and Her watched as the night elves debated amongst themselves, the two where being watched over by the Night Elves until the sentinels could find a way to get them home. The two had asked if they could come to the night elf meeting, and Tyrande and Furion had said fine. Now they watched as the night elves debated whether or not to give into Illidan's demands. "Are we going to just give into the will of that tyrannical child?" argued Tyrande, How do we know he will even keep his word?" said Furion. "He probably wants you to hand over me and my brethren in order to render you defenseless." "But if we do not we may be annihilated." Argued another night elf elder of the same order as Tyrande, "What if Illidan is willing to keep his word?" "When he took in the power of his father from the eye of Sargeras, it doubled his hate for our race. The child of darkness blames us for the death of the father he never knew. And thanks to that he never knew his mother." Said a keeper of the grove. "Maybe I can be of some help." Came a familiar voice. Out of the shadows came a figure clad in robes and black armor. "Junior!" cried Her and Minnie, suddenly all the night elves all rushed at him ready to attack, Dranor waved his hand and suddenly a wall of green fire sprang up, "Cool your jets, I come as a friend." "You are no friend of ours half demon! Why have you come?" snarled Furion. "I have an offer for you, I need your help to seal the Legion in Outworld." Why would you do that?" asked Tyrande, "Why would a servant of Illidan want to betray him and the Legion?" "I have my reasons. But I need you night elves to help me execute the charade I have planned." "How do we know we can trust you?" asked the keeper of the grove, "Loyal servant one minute, and traitor the other? Sounds fishy to me." "I give you my word, I only wish to see the Legion locked out of this world." "Very well." Said Furion, "What is your plan?"
Minnie and Her slowly approached Junior, or as he was now known Dranor. He had just explained his plan, and everyone had to admit it was a good one. Dranor had left the council room, and while the night elf continued with the council meeting with one another, Minnie and Her snuck of in pursuit. Luckily they had caught up with him, and to their confusion, Dranor seemed to be conversing with thin air. As they approached they heard him say, "Thank you for the compliment Kel Thuzad. And no I don't want to turn the night elves into the Scourges allies." "Junior?" said Minnie. Instantly he whirled around, and snarled, "How many times do I have to tell you my new name?" "I don't care how many times you tell us this new name of yours, to us you're still Junior." Said Her, "Um brother?" said Minnie, "Where you…?" To her surprise he laughed, "No I wasn't talking to myself, dear sister." "But Her and I are the only ones here, and you weren't talking to us." To that he turned around and said "Kel Thuzad show yourself to them!" Instantly the air in front of Junior flickered and a ghostly figure appeared. He wore a bull skull on his head, he had a long beard, he wore long robes with runes stitched onto them, he carried a crooked staff. "Greetings, I am the ghost of the mighty necromancer Kel Thuzad the Deceiver." "Kel Thuzad is my teacher in a way. He told me the story of how the Scourge came to be, you see at one point the Lich King Ner'Zuhl was an orc warlock. When the orc home world of Draneor was destroyed and him along with it, the Legion needed a new race to do their bidding and bring them into the world. To create this new race, Ner'Zuhls soul was trapped in the Frozen throne, transforming him into the Lich King, his power spread and created the undead Scourge. To bring the Legion into the world, some of the Scourges lichs preformed a ceremony that opened a portal that managed to bring forth the Legion." "But Illidan managed to make a portal to this realm on his own before, and with the eye of Sargerases power he would be super strong now, wouldn't he?" asked Minnie, "You see a being with as much demonic power as Illidan cannot create a portal to the Earth, because there was a magic created years ago to stop the Legion from invading." Said Kel Thuzad, "It made a barrier for too much demonic power from entering earth from another realm." ""So that's why you want to draw…" said Her but quickly Kratos put two blade like claws over the demon girls mouth. "We shouldn't be talking about this here, the demons could be looking for me soon. And if my treachery is discovered I'll face untold torment. Now I must be going now." With that he quickly walked into the undergrowth, the wind picked up and the ghost dissipated. The two girls stood there for a minute then Minnie said, "We'd better get back before Tyrande and Furion notice we left." "Yeah." Said Her, but she kept staring towards the place where Kratos had disappeared. Suddenly she ran after him, and Minnie cried, "Her come back!" But she had already disappeared; Minnie sighed, and ran after her.
Dranor cut his way through the foliage, using his sword, his claws, blades that he sprouted, and his tentacles. Suddenly he heard someone calling after him, "Junior! Junior, where are you!?" He suddenly recognized the voice, it was Her, he sighed and rolled his eyes. Was she going to pursue across this whole forest? Suddenly the voices of some undead came through the trees, "General Dranor? Are you here?" Dranor groaned, shot into a tree, and waited. Suddenly Her appeared under the tree he was in, "Junior are you here?" Suddenly the undead called out, "Who's there?" Her cried out, suddenly a tentacle shot out of the trees and wrapped around her, it pulled the demon girl into the trees. It placed her on a branch and retracted into Dranor, Her said, "Junior… What are… What's going…" "Will you please be quiet, unless you want to be found." "Oh no not until you give me some answers, and why do you care if…?" Dranor rolled his eyes, and went to his last resort, he put one hand on Her's neck, and pulled her into a kiss. Her eyes widened, but she made no movement. Suddenly five undead, one shade, two crypt fiends, and two ghouls, appeared under the tree, "I thought I heard something." Said a ghoul, "And I think you're imagining things, no person could have gotten away that fast, and I can't detect any shadow melding night elves any where." Said the shade "You probably heard a deer or something." Said one of the crypt fiends, "If it was I wish we had gotten it, I'm hungry." Said the other ghoul. They crept (or in the shades case floated) off, and after a minute or two, Dranor pulled away, and said, "I think they're gone." Her just sat in shock, and could only stutter, "Junior… why did you… did you have to do that?" "No, but it was a most pleasant choice." Said Dranor with a grin.
