A/N: I want to take the opportunity to thank everyone who reads my story. I never intended for this story to be a short one so there are still several chapters to come. I have no certain plans for it, I simply write as I get inspired :) Hope you're still enjoying it and shipping JainaxSylvanas as much as I do.

Chapter 11 – Long lost memories

Sylvanas folded her cowl well over her head to disguise her identity the best she could. She had chosen a human-like attire for her visit to Dalaran in order to blend in with the citizen's. It had been a long time since she had freely roamed the streets of a city like Dalaran. It almost made her feel melancholy. She glanced at the people passing her. It was peaceful and it made her long for her previous life as a high elf. Sylvanas looked down towards the ground as a man she recognized very well passed her. Archmage Khadgar bumped into her. "Oh I am so sorry miss". He exclaimed. Sylvanas continued to stare to ground and nodded. "Are you okay? Pardon me my lady". Khadgar smiled as he attempted to meet her eyes. Sylvanas swung her drape around and she hurried away. She could not afford to be recognized here. They would lock her up in the Violet Hold and trial her for her atrocities.

Sylvanas continued walking down the streets of Dalaran. It would have been lovely to be able to do this on a regular basis. Perhaps if she assisted Jaina in the plans of ending the feud between the Alliance and the Horde, she could. That was how they had bonded in the first place, although Sylvanas had nothing but selfish values on her mind when agreeing to aid Jaina in her mission for peace. She had seen a beautiful, strong sorceress beg for her help and thought she might come to like her if she did. She should have known better than to involve herself with Jaina Proudmoore and Jaina should have certainly known better than to equally do so with the Banshee Queen.

Sylvanas kneeled down in front of the Dalaran fountain, letting her long purple drape flow on the ground. People came here to make wishes by throwing their coins into the water. She pulled out her own golden coin, the one that had told her to go to Jaina's chamber. The very one she and her sisters had the same of only Alleria's was silver and Vereesa's copper. Sylvanas scoped the fountain and let her hands touch the water and the bottom of it, rattling through all the coins. None of them were as shiny and golden as Sylvanas' own coin. She kept letting her fingers run the bottom of the fountain and the coins slid between her fingers. It was like she had people's wishes and deepest dreams running through her fingers. It almost made Sylvanas feel powerful. It was the forsaken side of her that craved revenge and supremacy, the dark side that made her who she was today. She shook her head. How could she think she would change for Jaina, it was ridiculous. She would always be like this. Even though Jaina had made her discover she was not completely dead inside, she was still the Dark Lady, the Banshee Queen who had slaughtered for the good of her own. To keep herself alive and to create followers in the name of the undead. Because without the forsaken, she was only Sylvanas Windrunner, a killer and the monster Arthas had made her.

Suddenly Sylvanas realised a bright shimmer from beneath the other coins in the fountain. It appeared to be a fine silver coin although it had seen better days. It looked as if it had been in the fountain a long time. Sylvanas couldn't help herself and she fished the coin out of the water. A swift rush went through her and she gasped silently. It was a coin like her own, only silver. She was certain it could only originate from the same blacksmith in Silvermoon as her own golden coin. Sylvanas desperately rubbed the coin as she could feel it was engraved with a message. She swallowed as she read it and her red undead eyes filled with tears.

May my sisters realize their full potential, the name Windrunner known as result of their deeds.

Sylvanas covered her mouth with her hand as she silently wept. Her sister Alleria's silver coin. When she had read the note on the coin it was as all doubt in her was extinguished. Alleria would not want Sylvanas to be like this. To fight with Vereesa. To commit crimes as the Banshee Queen. Alleria would want her to join forces with Jaina and end this bloodshed between the Alliance and the Horde. Even if it meant giving her life for it.

"Wishing for something nice?" An innocent and cheerful voice asked her and Sylvanas quickly snapped out of her deep thoughts. She shot up. Vereesa! They were alone, nobody around. Sylvanas took a deep breath and acted as if the memories of her sister Alleria Windrunner controlled her. Without turning around and meeting Vereesa's eyes, Sylvanas held out the coin for Vereesa to look at. "Oh you're mischievous! You're not meant to read other's coins! I remember this kid once, she read about fifty of them and she really got into trouble after…" Vereesa abruptly stopped telling her silly story when her eyes finally focused on the coin she had been given by the stranger. "Is this some kind of sick joke? Who are you?" Sylvanas inhaled deeply as she turned around and met her sister's bright blue high elf eyes. Vereesa froze and remained silent staring at her sister. "Sylvanas! How did you get in here?" Vereesa blurted but she kept her voice down. "I have my ways sister…" Vereesa looked at her with sad eyes and without speaking she went to embrace her sister who accepted the hug. They hugged tightly for a long minute. Sylvanas decided in that moment to forgive her for everything. Vereesa was kind hearted and she had only acted in her belief of what was right. Jaina's words lingered in Sylvanas' memory "She knew it was wrong…" Sylvanas let go of her sister. "Tell me dear sister, do you know anything about Alleria's whereabouts?" Vereesa shed a tear and shook her head. "Still missing my dear…" The two Windrunners looked at the coin. "This coin has granted me clarity my sweet little sister. I have to amend my ways of ruling as the Banshee Queen. Alleria would be ashamed of me. The things I have done…"

Vereesa couldn't believe was she was hearing. "Oh Sylvanas". She placed her hand on the Banshee Queen's cheek. "If Alleria could see you right now, she would be the proudest sister in the world. If you show remorse, it can all be forgiven. I never stopped loving you my dear sister". Sylvanas had showed more emotions in 24 hours than she had all her life. But it felt right. Vereesa looked at Sylvanas who gave her little sister a comforting smile. "I am so sorry about what happened to you back then. I wish I could have taken your place; that it was me…" Sylvanas stopped her. "No my sister. I am what I am now, no need to dwell on it. I have made my peace with the darkness inside me and I would have never let Arthas impose this curse on you. Besides, I have found a light that suppresses my shadows". Vereesa tilted her head. "What do you mean, a light?" Sylvanas lifted her hood down revealing herself fully. "I am in love, Vereesa". "You? In love?" Vereesa's smile widened. "With whom? Who is he?" Sylvanas sighed. "I can't tell you yet. It is too dangerous". Vereesa's smile vanished. "Oh my god, he is Alliance. Does he live here in Dalaran? Is that why you are here? How the…?" Vereesa stopped. "Wait…" She studied Sylvanas. Vereesa had always been the clever one and ever since they were young, she could read Sylvanas like an open book. "OH MY FUCKING GOD!" Vereesa exclaimed and slammed her hands before her mouth. "Shhhhh… Sister! No one can know I am here!" Sylvanas pulled her behind the wall by the fountain. "Yes, you are right, okay?" She pulled her hood up again and peaked to make sure nobody had noticed them. "But you will put her in danger if you tell anyone, so you cannot share this with a soul!" "Will you be staying here for a while? Oh please Sylvanas, stay. I have finally got you back". With hopeful eyes, Vereesa put her hands on her sister's shoulders and begged her to stay. "I am staying". Sylvanas said firmly. "Jaina will protect me". Vereesa laughed joyfully and a tear of happiness fell from her eye. "I haven't been this pleased in months". Sylvanas felt content with her decisions and was ready to return to Jaina. For real this time, no more running. Sylvanas pulled her younger high elf sister in for another hug and whispered: "Thank Alleria".
