This is a romance I am writing. Yes it is a little...what's the word? Stupid? But oh well^^ I love the characters so writing a story about them was just too tempting... I don't own these characters except for the Ten'sab'nur. Also a few of the characters are sorta created by me but they are pretty easy to filter out. Wish to contact me the addy is tree_huggertd@hotmail.com Feedback always loved. I apologies for any mistakes I have made either in grammar or in the story. I tried to get rid of them but there comes a point where I give up. Enjoy the fic! -Love T-ko Rose

Lovers Bound at the Heart.
A War Craft 2 story.
Based on Blizzard Entertainment's War Craft 2 and War Craft 2
Beyond The Dark Portal.
By T-ko Rose


The Elfish hero Alleria walked across the frozen ground noticing at how nice the trees looked covered in snow and ice. She was a tall blond Elfish ranger who had won fame as being one of the best. She had lead the alliance to victory on countless occasions and killed hundreds of Orcs herself in the last few years. The Orcs had come to Azeroth seeking to crush it. It had taken years of battle but at last the alliance had been victorious or so they thought. They had crushed the Dark Portal and freed the dragons from their slavery at the hand of the Orcs. The Dragons, which were normally independent, choose to aid the alliance and destroy the vile creatures that had enslaved them. The Orcs had almost been crushed when the Ten'sab'nur had joined the horde against the Alliance. The Ten'sab'nur were almost humans but not quite. Their eyes always glowed with a strange light and they moved and spoke in ways that were distinctly nonhuman. They were powerful magicians but their spells were different than any other spells known to humans. They were a combination of Human and Orc magic and also had a touch of another magic that's source was unknown. They rode horses and fought with long light curved blades and wore little armor. The fighters in the alliance had never seen anything like them and entire kingdoms fell to the hordes renewed assaults.

The paint across Alleria's face was green today to blend into the forest. She sighed and watched the vapors of her breath float away then absently used a seal as a practice target for her long bow while she felt the impatience build. Soon, she told herself. It would be time soon.

She spun when she heard footsteps behind her and saw at the top of the hill were three figures, dark and evil looking. Alleria hated the Orcs more than anything because they had killed her friends, family, and everything else she had loved. She had lead her rangers into orgies of blood and death against Orcs more times than she could count. That had been before him however.

The three figures were easy to make out. There were two Ogres and an Orc whom she recognized as the Orcish hero, Grom Hellscream. The two Ogres were not mages and for that she was thankful.

"Human," Said one of the ogres pointing at Alleria. The other looked for a few seconds.

"Yes. Lets smash," It said. Ogres were not overly bright. They started down the hill but before they could get a few feet Grom Hellscream lifted his evil looking mace and brought it down on the head of one of the ogres. The ogre fell with a little gasp and its blood collected in a pool along with its brains. The other started to turn but stiffened with a scream as Alleria's arrow pierced his side. Grom swung again finishing the confused ogre.

Alleria and Grom stood looking at each other for a long while. "Hello Grom," She said with a smile. Grom walked down the hill to her and embraced her in his strong grip.

"In all things I saw your beauty. I could think of nothing but you and I had to see you again," Spoke Grom in the high pitched grating voice that had given him his name. He was a tall Orc with the usual green skin and strongly built body. Most people would say he just looked like an Orc that was slightly over the edge of sanity. To her he was a god.

"They would kill us for this," She said as she hugged his strong chest.
"That death would be a death brought from joy. They would lose many for the lives of two," He said as he stroked her back with his big hands.

"They are going to notice that your patrols always are lost and yet you always survive. They are going to get suspicious," She snuggled closer.

"No, for what I lose I win far more. They shall remain ignorant."

She sighed. "We can't fall in love. It can't happen. I am trying to defend this world and you are trying to destroy it. We can't fall in love."

"My head says you speak truth, beautiful flower, but my heart says you are wrong."

"Mine as well. But should we be found out we will both die," She looked up into his clear eyes and she saw only pure love. She sighed again. "What are we-"

"Don't speak the words on your tongue," He kissed her and she returned it with the love pouring from her heart. She wrapped her arms around him and let the ecstasy that they shared flow through her body like a river.

She lay as close to him as possible, feeling the warmth of his green body flowing through her. Her head was resting on his chest and his long arms were wrapped around her. "I must go back soon Grom."

"As must I rose of my heart," She laughed to hear his voice singing these words. Almost every thing he said was a song, as was the custom of his clan. His voice was very unpleasant to most but she found it wonderful. It was the sweetest of music to her ears.

"Be careful. I can't lose you now."

"My promise that I will not leave you may go with you in your heart," He sat up. "I will see you again soon beloved. Indeed I must or I fear I may not be able to take the strain."

Alleria sat up too and began to dress. "I wish we didn't have to hide like this. Some day we must escape this war so that our life together may be whole."

He smelled her hair as he helped her up. "Some day. I promise some day."

She didn't want to let him go but she knew she had to. She at last walked away to gather her bow. "Maybe we could live on anoth-"

"Traitor!" Came the inhuman voice from the top of the hill. They spun to see an Ogre mage, two grunts, and a berserker on top of the hill. The berserker was talking. "You will die traitor to the hoard!" The berserker jumped down the hill and ran throwing an axe. The axe hit Groms arm as he pushed Alleria out of the way but the ax cut the outer part of his arm and was not enough to cripple him. The Ogre mage muttered something and the berserker's eyes lit up. He reached for another axe from his belt but never got it out. Grom began to sing a song that made even Alleria a little dizzy to hear and picked up the axe that had hit his arm and swung it at the troll. It hit the Troll in the jaw shattering it. The Troll's jaw was only attached to one side of its face now and swung lose. Grom kicked his legs out from under him and took on the grunts. One swung at him but he dodged the blow spinning in an exquisite dance to the song he sang. In one twirling spin he cut the throat of one grunt and disemboweled the other ending his twirl facing the mage.

"Well Grom Hellscream, you have an interesting combat style. Try it on me I dare you," The mage laughed at him. Alleria saw the berserker standing, its jaw already healing. Her arrow pierced its neck killing it instantly. She grabbed another and aimed at the mage. "You will never get away with this Grom. You will be caught and destroyed and your entire clan will be killed."

"Never," Came his reply.

"Oh yes. They already suspect you. That's why I went out to investigate. When we don't return, or I return with your head, all the claims will prove true," The mage grinned evilly.

"Come and polish my blade with your blood," Grom sang in his screeching tongue. Alleria shot the ogre that very second and Grom ran towards him. The ogre swung at Grom but Grom was ready. He rolled to avoid the fist that flew overhead and then brought his axe up to the mage's stomach. The mage screamed as Grom stood up behind him and swung at his left head. The head came off spraying blood everywhere. The right head followed. "I fear some Elves must die tonight my love. I need something to cover this slaughter with."

Alleria nodded swallowing the pain she felt at betraying the Alliance. "Fare well my love. Until we meet again."

"I will sing the song of your heart forever beloved. May my love guide and protect you," And he ran through the snow away from his lover searching for the blood of her kin.
