Chapter 1: Enter Dynn Fyre, Druid
Dynn picked up some dirt from the ground and sniffed it. She ran her fingers through it to look for something.
"Hmmm. There's something in the ground….something…unnatural. I must report to the head druids in Darnassus about this. Things don't look too good." Dynn thought to herself. She threw the dirt to the ground; shape shifted to a cat, and ran off. The ground had been glowing with a strange, ominous glow and there was something moving in it.
(Later, in Darnassus) Dynn ran throughout Darnassus to the Druids' stronghold. She ran all the way to the top of the highest tower in the stronghold. She transformed herself back to her human form and approached the Archdruid Staghelm.
"Archdruid Staghelm, I found a strange disturbance in the grounds Silithus. We know that the Qiraji are stirring but what I found might disturb you." Dynn said. She handed the Archdruid a satchel full of the glowing dirt.
"What is the meaning of this? Why does this ground glow and what is the thing that is moving in it? Speak!" shouted Staghelm. He closed the satchel and threw it at Dynn.
"I know now why the ground glows or what the object that swarms in the ground is. I have a sneaking suspicion that the swarming objects are Sithlid. I would have reason to believe that the Qiraji are trying to start a sneak attack on us through the ground. Perhaps we should have the human mages in Stormwind look at it? There should be some mages there that could provide to us an explanation." Dynn said to Staghelm as she prepared her belongings.
"Very well Dynn, I will have the resident mage here create a portal for you that will take you to the mage quarter of Stormwind. I expect a full report from you after you and the mages examine the dirt Dynn. You nay go now." Staghelm said as he went back into his room.
(Later in Stormwind's Mage Quarter) Dynn sat in a chair and grabbed a book of a nearby bookshelf. She sits there and reads the book while examining the dirt sample. Soon, a little gnome mage walked up to Dynn and asked her what she needed,
"Oh, hello Akevo, I need this dirt sample examined. There is something squirming in there and it also glows. I need to know why it glows and what the thing is inside it." Dynn responded as she handed Akevo the satchel.
"No problem Dynn, I'm pretty sure I can find what you need! I should be able to find the info you need! It should take me about an hour. You can wait here if you would like." Akevo said as he took the satchel and examined the dirt.
"I'll be at the park district Akevo. You can come find me at the moonwell or at the inn." Dynn said as she walked away. At the park, she took a minute to meditate at the moonwell and checked in at the inn. As she was taking a bath she thought to herself "What could be the source of all this mystery in Silithus? I know the sithlid and their Qiraji masters are stirring in Ahn'Qiraji. That just leads to more questions. What are the Qiraji up to? Things don't look too well…." All of a sudden, Akevo barged in yelling something.
"Dynn! Dynn! I found out everything! I found out why the dirt glows and what is inside it!" screamed Akevo.
"EEEEEEK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! I'M TAKING A BATH!" screamed Dynn as she grabbed a towel and covered herself.
"I'm sorry Miss Dynn but I did find the answers you needed. Come meet me at the mage tower when you are, um, ready." Akevo said as he closed the door. A couple of minutes later, Dynn arrived at the mage tower. She walked up to the desk Akevo was working at.
"Ok Akevo, tell me everything I need to know." said Dynn as she looked over Akevo's shoulder.
"Well, the things that are swarming inside are sithlid but none that we have seen before. They seem to be some sort of parasite. I tested it on a conjured elemental and it seems to infect the target from the ground. Now what is does basically is it infects you with something which transforms you into a Qiraji. I don't know how but it looks like some sort of poison. I know not what the Qiraji's intentions are but one would assume they are trying to take over the world while avoiding casualty. Now as for the ground glowing, that is because of the poison. It courses through all the ground and it's what the parasites feed off of and get their energy." Akevo said as he handed Dynn the satchel.
"Thank you Akevo. I must leave now I need to report to Archdruid Staghelm. Again, thank you Akevo for all your help." Dynn said as she disappeared in a green flash of light. Later, in Darnassus, Dynn handed a piece of paper to Staghelm. "Here Archdruid, here is my report on the dirt. It should explain everything." Dynn said as she sat down in front of Staghelm. A grim look fell on Staghelm's face. "What is wrong Archdruid?" she asked.
"Nothing…….it's nothing Dynn, good work on the report. Um, I don't know how this is possible. I thought that the Qiraji were defeated! I thought they were locked in their city never to be heard form again. This doesn't make any sense! Those damned dragons were too weak. I knew it! So the war was al in vain. The Qiraji……..they have returned. I can't understand how they were able to break free from the binding. Wait! This must mean…. No! It can't be!" Staghelm mumbled to himself.
"The Qiraji are free? What do you mean sir? How were the Qiraji able to break free? What does this all mean?" asked Dynn.
"Listen Dynn, long ago the Qiraji waged war on us. They planned to take over all of Kalimdor and the night elves would not allow it. We tried to push them back and we managed to push them back into their city of Ahn'Quiraj in the south of Silithus. The Qiraji and their sithlid drones were too powerful for us. With the help of the Four Dragonflights, we managed to seal the gate on the Scarab Wall. Apparently, those damned dragons' power wasn't strong enough to seal them. The Qiraji were able to break free. They must have gotten help from an outside source though. The Qiraji were created by an Old God of immense power named C'Thun. They worshiped him and he must have somehow been revived. Not entirely but at least an avatar would have been strong enough to break free from the chains of the Dragohnflight." Staghelm explained.
"What? If this is true, the Qiraji will surely take all of Kalimdor! They are backed by the power of an Old God! How can they be stopped?" Dynn asked.
"The Scarab Gate must be opened and we must eradicate the Qiraji living there." said a strange figure standing at the entrance of Staghelm's room.
"Hmph….. Anachronos, I see you, Merithra, Caelestrasz, and Arygos are back. What do you want?" Staghelm asked.
"We just want to help rid this world of the Qiraji threat once and for all. We must rally the denizens of this world to fight against the Qiraji menace." Said Anarchronos.
"Who are these people?" Dynn asked.
"Lady Dynn Fyre, we are the children of the Four Dragonflights." Anachronos replied. "We have come to aid you in fulfilling your destiny. We have come to help you do the one thing you were meant to do in this world"
"And what is it that I an going to do?" Dynn asked.
"You are going to open the Scarab Gate." replied Anarchronos.
