Chapter Twenty-Eight

The blood sphere, which was thrown at Sylvanas, came closer, too close for Sylvanas liking. She focused her dark magical powers and tried to create a barrier around her and Elise. But this process took too long and the sphere exploded before Sylvanas was able to create this barrier. The blood sprayed in every direction and caused cauterizations on the persons, which were hit by it. The blood also hit Sylvanas but her special armor protected her and prevented that the blood reached her skin, although the blood dissolved the petricite on the spots were it hit. Several holes were corroded in Sylvanas upper body armor and made it less efficient in protecting.

Sylvanas noticed that Sion was walking towards her but Nathanos jumped on his shoulder and started attacking him. Sion stopped moving and tried to shake Nathanos off but the undead human was faster and jumped to the other shoulder and rammed his sword in the flesh of the undead juggernaut. Sylvanas turned her head towards Elise, who was fighting with Draven and had trouble dealing with his axes but she managed to dodge all of them in the last moment. Sylvanas turned her attention back to Vladimir, who had turned a few Forsaken and humans to liquid blood and had absorbed it. Sylvanas drew her bow and shot an empowered arrow at the vampire. A painful sound slipped out of his mouth as the arrow hit him in the left shoulder. Vladimir spit a small amount of blood out and another pain filled sound slipped out of his mouth as he pulled the arrow out of his shoulder.

"Not bad" Vladimir hissed and created a much larger blood sphere, flinging it in Sylvanas direction. Sylvanas jumped, in the last moment, behind her throne and avoided getting hit by the spraying blood. She wasn't hit by a single drop of blood but her throne was almost completely corroded and won't serve her as a cover anymore. Sylvanas drew another one of her stronger arrows and shot it at Vladimir. This time the vampire turned his entire body into liquid blood and avoided the arrow, which hit a ghoul, behind him, in the head instead and blew it up. The remains of the ghoul's body fell to the ground and burned until nothing was left of it.

The liquid materialized back to Vladimir body but Sylvanas had waited for that. She had timed her next arrow so that it instantly hit Vladimir's chest after he came out of his liquid form. Vladimir snarled and was about to pull the arrow out as another arrow hit him and pierced through his left hand. The Blood Lord cried out in pain and tried to pull it out. The large blood sphere, which had floated above his right hand since he had mastered to control blood, floated in the air and was formed to a protective barrier around Vladimir's body. He managed to pull the arrow out and close the wound but this turned out to be very painful.

Sylvanas drew her bow and observed what happened. A few skeletons rushed towards her but they were taken out by Valana's raised soldiers. The barrier around Vladimir faded and he was about to cast another spell but Sylvanas hit him with a special arrow in the chest, which prevented that he was able to cast a spell in the next fifteen minutes. Vladimir snarled and became furious as he noticed that he was unable to control his blood and the blood of every creature in this room. Vladimir turned around and started to run out of the room but he was hit three times in the back by Sylvanas arrows. One of these arrows exploded and caused a shockwave, which threw him to the ground. Sylvanas sprinted towards Vladimir and hit him, with a forceful punch, in the face. Sylvanas had focused all of her strength in the punch, which left a broken nose in Vladimir's face and knocked him out.

A few royal guards rushed to Vladimir and cuffed his hands together before they dragged him through a portal, which had been opened a few seconds earlier and lasted for a few minutes. Sylvanas looked at Elise who had managed to wrap thick spider silk around Draven's body, which guaranteed that he was unable to move or free himself. A few Forsaken warriors had taken the cocoon, dragged it backwards and had flung it through the same portal before it was closed.

Sylvanas drew her bow and aimed at Sion who was still fighting with Nathanos. Sion's upper body was covered by several wounds caused by Nathanos swords. Sylvanas was about to shot an arrow aimed at Sion's head but a magical spell hit her and flung her away. She stood up and spotted the one who had casted this spell. It was Bolvar who entered the room in the same moment. He lifted his left hand and sent Sylvanas against the wall on the other side of the room. Nathanos cried in anger and charged at Bolvar but the current Lich King blocked his attack with his relict sword, which had similarities to Arthas' sword Frostmourne.

Bolvar pushed Nathanos back with ease. Nathanos staggered backwards, he turned around but he saw the incoming axe strike too late so that he wasn't able to prevent it. The massive axe blade cut the left arm off from Nathanos' body. The undead human cried out in pain and fell to his knees. Sylvanas was shocked as she had to witnesses what happened in front of her eyes.

"I WILL RIP YOUR HEAD FROM YOUR SPINE" Sion shouted furious, he lifted his axe again and beheaded Nathanos with a clean cut. Nathanos' head and body dropped to the floor. Sylvanas stood rooted on the spot and did nothing except stare at her champion and adviser, whose lifeless body lay on the ground. Bolvar's lips were formed into a wide smile as he turned his gaze towards Sylvanas. Elise rushed to Sylvanas and shook her until she reacted. Sylvanas blinked a couple of times and looked at Elise, who looked at her with a worried expression on her face. A loud and furious sound slipped out of her mouth as she focused all remains of her powers in one arrow and aimed for Sion's head.

Sion was laughing loudly and was lashed out caused by the thrill of victory, which had come over him. He was so distracted by cheering that he didn't notice Sylvanas' arrow until it hit him in the head. The arrow exploded and tore Sion's head and most parts of his upper body apart. His body fell to the ground and started to glow in a crimson red. Although his upper body was nearly completely torn apart, he managed to stood up and rush towards Sylvanas in an impossible fast speed. Elise created a portal in the last moment and pushed Sylvanas through it and then followed her. The last thing Sylvanas saw before the portal was closed behind them, was that Sion's body collapsed in front of the portal and started to dissolve.

Sylvanas and Elise landed in the middle of the throne room in Orgrimmar in Grommash Hold. Overlord Saurfang stood in front of the Warchief's throne and was surprised as he saw that Elise and Sylvanas dropped out of the portal on the floor. A few orc guards rushed to Sylvanas and Elise and helped them getting up.

"Warchief… I didn't expect that you would come to us without a warning. Was something wrong with your portal or why did it dropped you on the floor?" Saurfang asked surprised and a bit worried at the same time.

"We lost Undercity" Sylvanas said her voice was filled with sadness and despair.

"We did what?" the old orc asked, his voice was filled with disbelieve.

"They were too many. We got reinforcements from Stormwind, Demacia and from this city but they had a lot more soldiers than us. They broke through our defence and pushed us back in the throne room. We managed to captivate Vladimir and Darius' brother Draven but these bastards killed Nathanos and forced us to retire. They probably killed every remaining soldier or enslave my Forsaken and val'kyries. These bastards also captivated Vereesa. We had no time to evacuate the remaining soldiers" Sylvanas said, her tone was harsh and her eyes glowed in a furious red.

"Dammit that's not good" Saurfang responded.

"Yes that's not good. These bastards took my home, my army, most of my val'kyries and my sister. I will go back to Undercity and tear Bolvar's stupid head apart his shoulders" Sylvanas screamed angrily and tried to open a portal but her attempt failed. Elise placed her arms from behind around Sylvanas waist and pulled her close.

"It's suicide to go to Undercity now. They will kill you and raise you"

"Arrgh… It's your entire fault" Sylvanas hissed and pushed Elise away. "Haven't you pushed me through the portal I would have stayed and defended Undercity with the rest of our troops."

"Sylvanas please calm down" Elise said and tried to grab Sylvanas hand.

"No I won't calm down. We lost Undercity and we lost our last valuable resource. The purpose of my val'kyries was not only to strengthen my army they should also sacrifice their lives for me if I die again. Now I only have two weaker val'kyries left. These val'kyries raise by far fewer soldiers than Valana" Sylvanas responded angrily and pushed Elise away again.

"I make sure that nobody will hurt you my love" Elise said and tried to calm her down.

"Get out of my sight all of you" Sylvanas shouted.

"But Sylvanas…" Elise said but she was interrupted by her lover. "SHUT UP. I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY OF YOU" she shouted and looked at Elise, whose face showed a hurt expression. Elise didn't responded and Sylvanas shouted again. "NOW GO. THIS IS AN ORDER". She gave the guards a sign and watched that the guards brought Elise and Saurfang out of Grommash Hold.


Elise sat on chair behind a table in the tavern of Orgrimmar. She just sat there and did nothing except staring at the wall in front of her. She had never seen Sylvanas so angry like this. Even in her fights against Arthas and the Face Collector, who had copied Arthas appearance, Sylvanas hadn't been on this level of angriness. Sylvanas outburst had really surprised Elise but what was more surprising, was that Sylvanas had thrown her out of Grommash Hold. Elise was pretty sure that Sylvanas would calm down and apologize later in a special way. Elise smirked about her perverted thoughts how Sylvanas could apologize to her. She thought about how Sylvanas would undress her slowly and pleasure her with her tongue.

Elise day dreams were interrupted by someone, who cleared his or her throat. Elise turned around and spotted a worried Alleria who stood next to her chair, her lover and her son were behind her. Elise didn't react at first, she just stared for a few moments at Alleria. Alleria cleared her throat again and spoke "We had heard that Undercity was taken by our enemies. What happened and where is Sylvanas? Why isn't she here with you?"

Elise showed Alleria and her family that they could sit down then she turned her head towards the wall and responded. "Our enemy had overwhelmed us. We had to retreat. I had pushed Sylvanas through a portal to make sure that she is safe. But she didn't appreciate that. She wanted to stay in Undercity and fight for it. That's the reason why she is mad at me"

"Don't worry she will calm down. You just need to give her some time" Alleria responded and looked at Elise, who was still staring at the wall.

"I hope that… I'm not pretty sure about that"

"Why do you think so?" Alleria asked and placed her left hand softly on Elise's right hand.

"We managed to captivate two of their commander but Nathanos fell in the battle for Undercity. And…" Elise made a small pause and breathed additional air in.

"And what?" Alleria asked worried and impatient.

"They caught Vereesa and captivate her" Elise responded. Alleria nearly dropped from the chair as she heard that.

"They did what?" Alleria shouted in disbelieve.

"They had surrounded her and pushed her through a portal" Elise said calmly, still staring at the wall in front her.

Alleria lifted Elise up and forced her to look her in the eyes. "No! No! No! That's not true. Tell me that this is a lie. YOU ARE LYING. THIS CAN'T BE TRUE" Alleria responded, her calm voice became louder and angrier while she was speaking. Alleria started to shake Elise and her eyes glowed furiously.

"Honey stop it. The guests are already staring at us" Turalyon said with his calming voice and put a hand on her left shoulder. Alleria hesitated at first but let Elise go. Elise dropped back on her seat and didn't move.

"So… Where is Sylvanas?" Alleria asked impatiently.

"She is in Grommash Hold, the main building where the throne of the Warchief is" Elise replied.

"Then let's go. I want to speak with her about our plan to rescue Vereesa"

"She doesn't want to see any of us. She is still furious about the loss of Undercity and the loss of most of her val'kyries and Forsaken" Elise explained.

"I don't care" Alleria said and pulled Elise up. "You will come with us. You are the only one who is able to calm Sylvanas down. I know she loves your body. Just be yourself and act normal. Sylvanas can't resist your body with your well-formed curves". Alleria took Elise left hand and dragger her out of the tavern. Elise was so thunderstruck that she didn't hesitate and let Alleria drag her wherever she wanted. Orgrimmar didn't look like the same compared to the last time Elise had been here. The streets were still overcrowded by people but not by citizens today. The streets of Orgrimmar were filled with warriors, mostly orcs, goblins and trolls but also Forsaken and blood elves were occasional present here.

Alleria dragged Elise to Grommash Hold, which was almost on the opposite side of the tavern. Alleria, her family and Elise came to the entrance, which was guarded by five orc guards, which body sizes were almost double as large as Elise size.

"We want to see my sister" Alleria said.

"The Warchief doesn't want to see anyone" one of the guards said.

"King Anduin sent me to speak with my sister" Alleria said and handed a document, which was sealed with symbol of Stormwind, to the orc.

"But we have our orders…" the orc said but he was interrupted.

"It's really important. I could also tell Orgrimmar's allies that a few orcs hinder our plans to defend Azeroth and win this war"

"The Warchief will execute us if we ignore her orders" the orc stuttered nervously.

"Either she will or I will" Alleria said, she transformed to her void elf form and looked at the guards, her eyes glowed dangerously purple. These guards were heavily scared by Alleria. The leader of the guards nodded nervously and he stepped to the side so that with his comrades, so that the group was able to enter the hold of the Warchief. They passed the orcs and walked into the main hall of the hold.

Elise was shocked by the situation she spotted inside the building. Sylvanas stood in the middle of the room, the floor around her was covered by blood and next to her feet laid Vladimir, who was beaten by Sylvanas. Vladimir wore nothing except grey worn out rags, his nose was broken and his upper body was covered by lots of stabbing wounds of various size and depth. Sylvanas turned around towards the group and snarled.

"I had ordered to not be disturbed" Sylvanas hissed, her crimson eyes had a deeper red tone than usual.

"Sylvanas by the light what are you doing?" Turalyon shouted out in shock. "This is a prisoner. You should treat him better than this!"

"Our enemies won't spare Vereesa and until this bastard didn't tell me where they had brought her and what they are doing to her, I will continue beating the shit out of him" Sylvanas shouted furious.

"No. This is not the right way" Elise said and was about to walk to Sylvanas but Alleria held her back. "Alleria let me go"

"No. Sylvanas is right. This bastard will give us the information we need. We won't spare him until he tell us where Vereesa is"

Turalyon looked at his lover "Are you serious Alleria?" he asked shocked about her statement and her behaviour.

Alleria turned towards her lover and stared in his eyes. "I'm dead serious. You know I went to outland to slaughter every orc because they were responsible for my brother's murder. I don't want to kill Vladimir but this freak should suffer until he tells us what we want to know"

"I can understand you my love but this is not the right way. We are not the Horde. We don't torture people for information. There are other ways to get the information we need from him" Turalyon replied.

"Really?" Alleria asked with a raised eyebrow. "Then tell me your master plan" Alleria added saucy.

"Ehm…" Turalyon started but he was interrupted by a loud snort from his lover. "Do whatever you want Alleria but I can watch this. I understand that you want your sister back but these methods are just wrong. You are not the old Sylvanas or Garrosh Hellscream. We are the Alliance, we are agents of the light. We don't harm people for benefits even if they are good ones. I will go now. If you are looking for me you know where I am. Come my son" Turalyon said and rushed out of the building with his son.

"You are not better than the Noxians, including myself if you are torturing him" Elise said.

"You would do the same if he would have kidnapped me. I would do the same for you my love" Sylvanas said and looked at Elise. Elise was silent for a few moments then she closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she opened them again.

"You are right" Elise said and walked to Sylvanas.

"So you will support me"

"If you apologize that you threw me out of this building and blame me for the loss of Undercity then yes" Elise told.

"I will apologize later in a way you would appreciate more than just saying an a few words" Sylvanas responded and smacked Elise ass roughly. Elise smiled and was happy that Sylvanas was like her former self.

"Did this bastard said anything about the place where they are holding our little sister" Alleria asked and looked at Vladimir and then at Sylvanas.

"No" Sylvanas said shortly.

"Then we have to continue until he sings like a bird" Alleria responded and kicked forcefully in Vladimir's stomach. "Speak you worthless bastard" Alleria shouted angry and kicked him in the stomach again. Vladimir lay on the ground and stared at Alleria, his lips were formed in a wide grin.

"I won't tell you anything about her and the plans Master Swain has with her" Vladimir said and got hit by a forceful kick in the face as a respond.

"If you two would stop beating him I would tell you my plan to get the information we need" Elise said. Alleria and Sylvanas turned to her and looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"What is it?" Alleria asked.

"It has to do with poison" Elise said smiling and put her arm around Sylvanas waist.


Two days later – A few hundred kilometers away from Firelands

Ignis crouched above the ground and pressed her left hand on the wound in the left side of her waist. She felt a bit unwell being in an area with a grass covered ground, a lot of trees and forests and mild climate. She had fought the past two days against Le Blanc outside of Firelands after it was destroyed by the gigantic fel bomb. Most of the defending elementals had been killed by this explosion, only a few hundreds had managed to get away thanks to Ignis' fast reaction. Her mother hid with her father in a secret cave and did everything to make sure that Ragnaros didn't die because of that deep yawing wound. Most of the attackers had been killed too but Darius and Le Blanc had managed to get out in the last moment.

Ignis' fight against Le Blanc lasted now since two days without a clear winner. Le Blanc had used her clones to attack her with various abilities from various directions. The fire princess had stayed cool and didn't risk anything. She had taken down all of Le Blanc's clones one after one but the Deceiver had produced more of those. Ignis had thought that Le Blanc was a coward and let her clones fight for her. But the Deceiver was brave and fight against Ignis. It was hard at first to find out, who was the real Le Blanc but after hours of constant fighting Ignis got used to track the real Le Blanc. Both women had managed to hurt each other badly. Ignis had managed to regenerate her wounds thanks to special flames from Firelands, which were filled in a small vial. Le Blanc on the other side wasn't able to regenerate, she had to use healing spells which worked well at first but somehow didn't work quite well after a few usages.

Le Blanc stood twenty meters away from Ignis. Her upper body was covered by several burn wounds and a few stabbing wounds were also present. Le Blanc support herself with her huge magical wand and with one of her clones, which made sure that she didn't lose her balance and fell to the ground.

"This is not over" Le Blanc hissed and prepared a magic spell. Ignis didn't hesitate and sprinted towards the Deceiver. Le Blanc prepared a magical sphere and threw it at Ignis. The Fireprincess avoided it by teleporting behind her. Ignis made a quick sword strike which left a deep cutting wound in Le Blanc's back. The Deceiver cried out in pain and jumped a few meters forward. Ignis rushed to her again but Le Blanc jumped one more time and teleported back to her starting position before she had jumped two times, as Ignis reached her. Le Blanc disappeared for a small moment and reappeared with two of her clones. All three Le Blanc's threw a magic sphere at Ignis. Ignis got hit by all three but only one hurt her, the others had been simply illusions. The sphere, which had hit her, flung her a few meters backwards and left a wound of medium size in her upper body.

Ignis stood up, she created a fireball and flung at Le Blanc. The Deceiver guided one of her clones in front of her, which served as a living shield. The fireball and the clone dissolved very quickly as they came in contact.

"Is that all you have got" Le Blanc asked with a wide grin on her face and started to laugh.

"No" Ignis simply answered and appeared in front of the real Le Blanc. "That's all I have got" Ignis responded and pressed her hands on Le Blanc's face. She highly increased the temperature of her body and flames wrapped up around her hands and Le Blanc's face. Le Blanc screamed in pain as her face was burnt by extremely hot flames. Le Blanc struggled to get free, she managed it and jumped away but she was hit by a large pyroblast which hurt her heavily.

"I will come back and have my revenge" Le Blanc hissed and stepped through a portal, which she had opened with her last reserves of strength.
