Chapter 15 – Returning to the beginning
Jaina held on to Sylvanas tightly as they appeared in the throne room in Undercity after teleporting from the chaos in Dalaran. Luckily, the room was empty and they both exhaled in relief. The throne room gave Jaina a strange feeling as this was where Sylvanas had so coldly rejected her a few months earlier. It was almost like Sylvanas could sense Jaina's angst and she quickly grabbed Jaina's cheeks and kissed her deeply and passionately. The unsettling feeling of confusion and uncertainty inside Jaina was instantly vanished and she kissed Sylvanas back intensely. When the kiss finally broke they stood holding each other tight for a moment. "Thank the Sunwell you are safe my dear Jaina". Sylvanas was stroking her hair while whispering something in Thalassian Jaina did not understand.
"A othienel aromjae elwy eranu Dalah' surfal".
It sounded beautifully, almost like riddle Jaina thought. She hid the Thalassian words away in her heart.
"What was that back there in Dalaran? All the things you said? Why did you do it?" Jaina looked at Sylvanas with sad eyes. Sylvanas stroked Jaina's cheek. "What do you think the Archmage would have done to you had he known the real reason for me being in there? I would rather him think ill of me than you sweet Jaina". Jaina frowned and pulled away. "I am so sick of people thinking you are some kind of monster! It's not you! Firstly, you saved Khadar's life out there. Secondly, the Sylvanas I know is kind-hearted, tender and caring. And thirdly…" She paused with tears in her eyes but a firm concentrated expression. "If there is anyone who can stop the Burning Legion it is you. There is nobody I would rather have my back than you in this war!" Sylvanas was left speechless at the young sorceress' generous words about her. "It is not fair!" Jaina continued. "And we shall prove it to them. If you are still willing to work with me Windrunner, I will be the best partner you have ever had. Together, we can unite the Alliance and the Horde and destroy the Burning Legion once and for all!"
Sylvanas could do nothing but to smirk at her lover in admiration. Jaina was courageous, beautiful and simply an extraordinary human being. She had never in a million years imagined she would be lucky enough to call herself Jaina Proudmoore's partner in war. "You're so hot when you're on a power trip". Sylvanas grinned. Impulsively, Jaina replied by pulling Sylvanas in for another deep kiss. Without speaking Jaina ripped off her lover's armor, revealing her soft breasts and dragged her to the floor. Sylvanas laid on top of Jaina and studied the young mage's pure face. Her eyes sparkled from the flames dancing in the fireplace. Her cheeks were blushy pink and her hair was silky blonde. Sylvanas ran her fingers through Jaina's hair twisting it around her thumb. Jaina laid still on the floor and enjoyed the silence and simply looking at the Banshee Queen. The admiration they shared for one another had grown significantly over the past days and the more time they spent together the more they lusted for each other. Jaina stroked Sylvanas' naked chest and teased her innocently while biting her lip. Sylvanas closed her eyes and enjoyed being close to someone. To be touched. To be loved. "What do you desire, Lady Proudmoore?" Jaina closed her eyes and smiled. "You". Sylvanas bowed down and lightly bit Jaina's earlobe. Sylvanas could feel the hunger for Jaina grow and she whispered: "Your wish is my command".
Jaina relaxed in Sylvanas' arms on the bear fur rug in front of the fireplace. The flames prickled in the wood and the heat felt nice on Jaina's bare skin considering the Undercity was normally extremely cold. So much had happened in such a short space of time. It frightened Jaina to think her and Sylvanas were possibly the only two people in Azeroth that could successfully initiate the co-operation between the Alliance and the Horde in the mission to exterminate the Burning Legion. Yet, she loved that her other half was who she was; a fearless and astounding queen. A queen of darkness perhaps, but a queen nevertheless.
"You think too much my love". Sylvanas stroked her lover's hair. Jaina sighed. "I must speak with Varian Wrynn. You must travel to Orgrimmar and approach Warchief Vol'jin". "Yes, it must be done tomorrow". Sylvanas replied. "Do you think it will work?" Jaina crinkled her nose. Sylvanas kissed her nose. "I am certain I will be able to show Vol'jin the importance in fighting the Legion before they destroy more of Azeroth. He knows the Horde will not make it without help, hence, I reckon he will agree to peace with the Alliance and join our forces". Jaina felt a ball of tears building up in her throat. "There will be many lives lost. We had come so far from the atrocities in Pandaria. Now this…" Jaina sniffed. "Hey!" Sylvanas lifted her chin. "Don't you worry. There will be a good ending to this." Jaina looked at her and exhaled. "I know it will. I am with you aren't I?" Sylvanas gave her lover a comforting smile. "Always, Dalah' surfal". Dalah' surfal… Jaina thought as she closed her eyes peacefully and fell calmly asleep in Sylvanas Windrunner's arms.
