*chapter in Andri's POV*

It wasn't long before Andri realized there was nothing he could do. He had to accept the fact that she had gone for good. There was always the choice of going to the Lich King which would have taken months because he was a hard person to find.

Disappointed, he went back to the guild's HQ.

For months and months people kept talking about his loss and about the young hunter apprentice probably being dead somewhere. And though Andri knew it wasn't true because he had seen her true strength, he didn't say a word. He was rarely seen around, mostly hunting around, gathering tracks and questioning random villagers all around Azeroth. Even when someone did see him in HQ, he looked too evil to approach.

Sin, Adorica and Sebastian sat at the long wooden table at HQ, thinking and planning on the next raid.

The women were planning stuff but Sebastian was quiet. He had been thinking too much lately and Adorica seemed to understand what he was so worried about.

"Sebastian," Adorica tried to get his attention. "You're not the only one thinking about… the hunter case."

He kept his head straight, looking at the wall with his shining blue eyes. "I may have a plan…"

Sin looked up. Adorica stayed quiet.

"According to the intelligence Andri's gathered, the hunter is definitely located where the Lich King is. Rumor says they've been working… together."

Everyone gasped.

A dark shadow came in from the door but no one noticed. "It's been 10 months," a low voice said.

"You're back!" Adorica cheered like a happy little goat girl.

"Not for long."

Sebastian stood up from his chair. "Brother."

Andri nodded.

"We've got a plan."

"I'm all ears."

The tension was rising. Sentences remained short because everyone was scared of Andri running off again looking for a dead trail.

"Well, brother, as you know…"

Andri looked angry.

"I'm a death knight."

Adorica's mind was screaming YOU DON'T SAY?! As Sebastian tried to be delicate.

"I could go to the Lich King. He probably won't remember how I became a death knight and our…"

Andri's face had no expression.

Adorica was a little bit stunned. "Sebastian, you can't!"

They looked at each other.

"Adorica, I must! If Andri is dead set on bringing the girl back then I'm the only one who can do it."

"I will need to go with you, brother," Andri spoke.

"Don't even think about that. You would put the mission in jeopardy."

"Sebastian…" Andri started. "She knows me. I know her. Getting to her is not the problem, bringing her back is. She is strong enough to kill anyone on her path. I thought… I really thought I changed her but I fear the Lich King's wrath has gotten into her bones."

Sin interfered now. "Sebastian, you will take Andri with you. But please… Don't get yourselves killed."

She didn't even have to say anything else because the two brothers were out of the house quicker than lightning, Nightshadow by Andri's side. Adorica's face saddened as she stroked her own hair.

"He'll be alright. I promise," Sin comforted her.

"It's not Sebastian I'm worried about."

Sin smiled a little. "This is nothing I haven't seen before, Adorica."

"Sin, really. I'm worried about Andri. Remember I told you that before they left for her home village, I had a little talk with her about Andri. And then it was clear to me that they had feelings for each other. Now… I don't know if anything happened between them before she ran away… But I'm afraid when Andri realizes she is not the small fragile girl anymore, his heart will be broken. If the Lich King really has taken her into his armada, he has yet again taken away everything from him."

"They really had something, didn't they?"

"Well Andri wouldn't be so obsessed about bringing her back," Adorica stated.

"Do you think they…" Sin had a mysterious smile.

Both of them laughed a little.

"I don't know," Adorica answered. "I don't think so."

After a few days Sebastian and Andri had reached Eastern Plaguelands, where by rumor, the girl was. Sebastian had taken Andri as a prisoner by binding him in a magical trap. They were approaching the castle high up in the air. Luckily no real death knights or scourge had seen threat in them and just let them pass. Andri had cast a black magic spell on them so that they could communicate by thoughts. The path was rough and dry under their expensive boots.

They had arrived in front of a mouth of a cave which lead to the place upon where the castle floated. The brothers went swiftly and silently through the cave.

Even on the other side no one seemed to notice them. Everything was going according to plan.

They walked on another road, Andri carefully looking down to look sad and without hope. Sebastian was confident because he had been here before and this was nothing to worry about. He just needed to make his brother happy. They now arrived before a gryphon trainer, or well they were just corpses of gryphons.

"Get on with it," the rider croaked, his voice dry as Uldum

Sebastian pulled the chains Andri was tangled in and threw him on the undead beast.

The monster took off as Sebastian tightly held his brother.

Is this really going to work, brother?

I know Zacklrina. She must have a reason to return to the land of the living.

What if she's one of… One of the death knights?

Sebastian, you came back to the living. And so will she.

The beast landed and they were aboard the castle. It was now or never. A couple of dead things passed and looked at them but posed no threat.

"This night elf was caught eavesdropping in Northrend," Sebastian told the dead things and pulled Andri's chain so he fell to his knees.

The things nodded.

Sebastian found the teleporter, just where it had been before.

Nothing's changed here.

Are you sure she's up there? Shouldn't you ask someone first?

If the rumors are true then she has her own quarters where she spends most of her time. This is it, brother. If you want to bail, we need to do it now.

Let's get this over with.

They were instantly teleported to the next level of the castle. Where the Lich King was.
