There's a slight change of style in the writing...kinda of! Well, actually baaaarely that it would be useless to notice. I'm just kinda of playing around to see which one fits me better. So if the thoughts are really confusing, I'm really really sorry! And I'm probably gonna be on sort of a break for the next three weeks but while I'm gone, there's good fanfiction to read on other sites too! If you read this chapter and want the next one, then review and say so! Warcraft III is owned by Blizzard.
WARNING: short chapter! heh.....sorry! --------------------------
Ner'zhul chuckled. "Kel'thuzad!"he called as he sat on his icy throne.
"Yes, master?" the skeleton answered as he bowed his head down.
"That Windrunner has a weakness now...Tell my minions to go and attack the girl, she doesn't seem strong enough to hold them back."

Sylvos listened to the quiet patter of the rain against the roof of his hut. He set his mind on the rythmic patter of the droplets until they began to slow down. They eventually left him with the soft chirping of crickets. Sleep had been impossible for him for the past two days, but it was not from nature. I feel as if somebody's watching me...No, it can't be. Nobody would want to waste their time to spy on me...His thoughts were interupted by quiet knocking on the door. He opened the door and Firebrand threw her arms around him and began to sob into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and held her gently.
"Sylvos..."
He tried to comfort her by taking her mind off whatever she was thinking about. "Can't sleep either?" he asked.
She only shook her head and sniffled.
"It's alright...Come, we can talk outside now that it isn't raining." he told her as he led her out.
The two sat down in a secluded area below a large tree. Sylvos put an arm around Firebrand's waist and rubbed his cheek against hers. He brushed away a tear from her face and kissed her cheek.
He whispered into her ear, "I hate it when you cry, Firebrand, I can't take it...to see you so sad. Tell me, what's wrong?"
"I had a horrible nightmare..." she answered.
"It couldn't have been that horrible." he replied as he held her tighter.
She was hesitant first, but she managed to answer him. "...You died, Sylvos." she whimpered. "Now is it horrible? You got stabbed...right before my eyes and I couldn't even do a single thing about it. It was a man with...white hair and...grey eyes...he wasn't normal. And the strangest part about it...is that I don't even know him!"
Sylvos' expression was still the same. "It was only a dream, Firebrand.
She let a few more tears roll down her face. "It felt so real...I can't forget about it. That icy glare...that cold laugh...that smell...I couldn't take it."
"Let it go. I'll never die as long as you're here...You are my hope."
"Promise?"
"I promise with all my heart." Sylvos answered. He then let out a faint laugh.
It was one that Firebrand adored and one that she fell in love with. It comforted her so many times before.
"Maybe you would have better dreams in the daytime. Besides, you are a night elf." he remarked.
"I could possibly change that but how would I be able to be with y--"
"Get away from my daughter, you betrayer! And you, Firebrand, come here!" snarled Maiev.
The two quickly got up.
Firebrand stepped back and took Sylvos' hand. "No..."
Illidan stepped in behind the warden as he put a hand on her shoulder. "Maiev, take it easy on them. Let them be."
"Why should I?! Look at them! Just look at them!" she snapped.
"I'm looking at them and they look perfectly fine!" Illidan retorted.
"But not normal..." Maiev stated.
"What the hell is going on here?!" demanded Flameseeker angrily as he stepped into the clearing.
Maiev sighed. "Not you, too..."
"Look, Maiev, if you could at least stop hating everybody for just one moment to explain things properly, maybe you could tell us all what's wrong!" exclaimed Sylvos.
"Fine then, Sylvos, would you like me to tell you what's wrong?!" Maiev growled. She approached the blood mage and slapped him across the face. "What's wrong, is that you should stay the hell away from my daughter!"
"Why can't I be with her? Because you just don't want me to?!" questioned Sylvos crossly.
"Because you, the High Elves, betrayed us and wanted the magic of the well all to yourselves! You selfish bastards planned for the cause of our deaths!"
"Maiev, stop it!" shouted Illidan as he clapped his hand over her mouth and held her still with his arm. "You're being outrageous! Do you even know who you're talking to?!"
Flameseeker reminded her,"We depend on the powers of the well."
Sylvos finished up the argument. "And we still hunger, Maiev. But we don't complain about it, and most of all, we don't let that get in the way of our hearts. So why should you complain about two elves who love each other?"
"Thank you, Sylvos. She needs some time to calm down." said Illidan as he walked away with her, still in his firm grip.
Firebrand let out a sigh of relief and hugged Sylvos. She reached up to touch the red mark on his face. "Does it still hurt?" she asked.
He smiled. "It's nothing to worry about, Firebrand, I'm fine."
"I'm going to go round up the hunters for a meeting." Flameseeker told them. As he walked away, he kicked a bush a few times nearby and Painkiller and Ragerunner emerged and dashed off.
Firebrand and Sylvos glanced and each other and blushed brightly.
