[Tracking…]
[Location: Stormwind city Threat: Unknown]
King Varian Wrynn hated the calm, he sensed nothing but peace and this bothers him. He was always a light sleeper, after the death of his beloved queen; he will not allow anyone hurt him and his family. Nobody is going to hurt Anduin, not in my watch! Still, he is still not used to his name as King Varian Wrynn, living comfortably in Stormwind keep with hundreds of royal guards protecting. He is more used to the name Lo'Gosh, a renegade gladiator running with companions away from the world. How is Broll in his new duty as the advisor for Malfurion Stormrage? I heard he is settling well with the night elves. He smirked at the thought And Veleera? He lost contact with the blood elf soon after he returned to the throne; he bet that she is now in booty bay, sitting quietly at the side grumbling about the state of the world.
Suddenly he heard a strange noise outside of the keep; he quickly rolled out of the bed, tightening his grip on Shalamayne. He scanned his room for the intruder. The curtains were forcibly swung open, revealing the dark sky illuminated by the moonlight. Suddenly he heard the sound of piercing air in the distance, he quickly evaded the projectile but found out that the arrow was meant to miss him. The arrow embedded perfectly at the brick wall and caused minimal damage. The King tore the note that was tied professionally; the writing is neat and clean, clearly from a noble's hand. But what surprised Varian is the content inside it.
To the King of Stormwind:
I apologize for the inconvenience to send you the letter. I couldn't risk having this through public channels and the matter should be kept privately.
As you would have known already the leader of the Scourge, The Lich King has been slain by an elite Horde raid group. Azeroth is now safe from an immediate threat. What you do not know is that there is a new threat looming over the precious land you swore to protect.
Recently an anomaly was detected near the Burning Steppes area; I suspect large amount Dark Iron Dwarf and Black Dragon activities.
Please redirect your garrison to combat the threat that may destroy Azeroth. I have also informed the Horde leaders of the threat please stay calm and work together. If not, WE will stop you.
"Show yourself, Assassin!" The King of Stormwind looked out from the balcony and saw the elf, standing on top of the newly built statue at the courtyard. He is tall and lean, with pure white hair tied in a clean foxtail. By his build and the pale skin Varian deduced that he is a high elf. He lowered his bow and stared straight to the King "Never forget, King. Never forget!" He whispered in a tone that no one but the leader of the Alliance would hear the words, then jumped swiftly towards the courtyard, knocking out a guard surrounding the statue. Varian is still in confusion when the Guard Captain issue orders to capture the elf assassin.
The elf ran in great speed towards the canal area, considering he has a buster sword strapped behind him, running is a miracle. He professionally avoided the two musket shots from the guard, they quickly reloaded the firearm but wasn't fast enough. The elf jumped up and kicked the head of the guard, drawing blood. The guard staggered back and with a spinning kick, he fell into the water. The second guard drew his blade and attempts to slice the intruder from his back, but the fighter sidestepped and pushed the guard into the water. The elf smirked at his achievement but started to run when the reinforcements arrived. He jumped over the crates and wooden planks from the construction site, tripping over the incoming guards. When he landed at the exit of the Cathedral area two guards charged and tackled him to the ground, knowing that he cannot escape the guards grabbed a rope and tried to bind the hands.
A light flared off from the arm of the assassin and the guard flinched; only to find out that the body they were trying to bind disappeared before their eyes. They straightened up, still in obvious shock and saw the assassin appeared, but his veins pouted out with blue energy illuminating. He let out a ferocious roar and charged, smashing the chestpiece of his armor easily. The angry elf held the two guards by their throats and said calmly "Nobody… Messes with the Oathbringer…" He squeezed, letting out strong arcane energy that engulf the poor humans in a blue flame.
After cleaning his hands from the ashes, he turned and saw a squad of Stormwind Guards sealing his only exit to the docks. The Guard Captain shouted "You're surrounded, elf! We have sealed the whole area, even the waters! Surrender and we will spare your miserable life!" He signaled his archers to train at his head only, as he knew this man has no bloody heart.
The elf took no actions, he only leered the Captain using the side of his eyes. The Guard Captain shouted again "Give up or die here!" The elf then threw a cylinder into the Guard Captain, and it shattered immediately, spilling its content out. The guards moved backwards, fearing for some kind of elven sorcery. The mysterious killer took it as a cue and started running to the Guard Captain, he drew his buster sword and threw it straight to the group, it curved and hacked off several heads of the Guard, killing them instantly. He sprinted and retrieved the spinning blade. The Guard hurried to the Captain's position, trying to defend him from the berserker charging. He swung his blade skillfully, hacking limbs and spewing guts from the unfortunate guards. A guard flanked behind him and tried grabbing the warrior, he grunted and head butted straight to the guard, knocking him out cold. The elf ducked quickly to avoid a slash from another guard, and then kicked him in the shin, decapitating the groaning soldier.
Seeing an opening the Oathbringer quickly ran out, tackling any defenders doing their duties with great impact. When he thought he was finally out to the docks a blade swung out, the elf wasn't expecting the attack and was forced to parry with the hilt of his weapon, cracking the silver coating. He grunted and readied himself in a defensive stance. The ambusher walked out, he has a muscular build, covered by the custom armor fashioned only for the best of swordsmen. He has a handsome face, only ruined by the scars and the sorrow and anger in his eyes.
"Greetings, King of Stormwind. I will just be on my way!" The Oathbringer said respectfully, his eyes scanning around for an opening. "Just give me the letter and leave without my consent? Not exactly what a visitor should do, Fenrir?" The Oathbringer grunted at the comment, but retained his composure and said casually "So, Your Majesty, you came all the way here just to scold me of my disrespect?" The elf looked away from the King, hiding his secrets from the leader of the Alliance. Varian smiled and said "And to capture the suspected killer for interrogation." Fenrir lost his composure and unsheathed his blade, pointing straight to the King of Stormwind and said "You can never capture an Oathbringer, do not think you are that strong. We are the true force of Azeroth!" The King laughed while drawing Shalamayne, shouting back to the high elf "You are only a crazy dog to be tamed by the might of the Alliance!" Fenrir cannot take it anymore and roared his battle shout "KILL OR TO BE KILLED, THE OATHBRINGER IS HERE!" and charged to the King.
Varian smirked; this is going to be a good day.
