AN: Hello everyone Lordearonman2 here, I'm just going to inform you that Naruto will be called Nathan from now until he regains his memories for it would conflict with the story as the other characters would just call him Nathan and not Naruto which would, in turn, make the story confusing and complicated.
Additional Information: Their age for the story, for now, are Naruto 13, Arturia 13, Arthas 20, Uther 50, Jaina 19 and then there will be still two more chapters before the time skip and a lot will happen to him at the upcoming chapters so stay tuned and follow. Then after the time skip the story would proceed on the events of the warcraft reign of chaos.

Chapter: 5
Settling In And Another Pendragon
Feeling refreshed, energetic and ready to take on the new day that's what Nathan felt as he got up from his new white comfy medium-sized bed in his new room. He was transferred to a new room as soon as he was finally cleared at the relief quarters and after Uther's insistence. His new room was simple with only little furniture present, sure there were dressers and a mirror but what made the room stand out for him was that it had an awesome balcony that shows the beautiful sunrise to his room.
It had been already a few days since the day he had lost his memories and they had found him; he was still actually very much grateful to Uther and to the order of the church for saving and taking him in under their wing and care. When Uther stepped up in the mantle on teaching him on the things that he might have forgotten along with his lost memories yesterday. He was extremely grateful though his head still throbbed though due to the extensive lectures that the older man provided for hours to him.
'He didn't even gave me a little moment of rest…though thankfully Uther said I got to rest today and tomorrow' He mused to himself while also thinking of a plan on what he should do today, now that he was finally allowed to go outside after all. However, his musings were cut short when he heard a knocking sound at the door.
"Nathan! Are you up!? There's a whole day is waiting for you, you know?" The voice of sister Jane could be heard on the other side of the. Ever since he had been brought here, sister Jane was always there for him making sure he was alright and fine and also in a sense she had already became some sort of pseudo older sister for Nathan. She loved the child when she had learned about his personality during the past few days, for he reminded her of the sun, bright, cheerful and was always full of life, he reminded her of the children of the orphanage that she cared and came from.
"Yes! I'm up sister Jane, just a few more minutes." He answered back before he removed his bedclothes over his body and when he did it showed his few faded scars scattered throughout his body. When he faced the mirror, he traced a hand at his scar at the chest. They had all the same thought though when they saw his own body including him, whatever it was that happened on his past he must have been abused as a child. After observing his scars, he quickly put on his white long sleeve tunic shirt and dark brown pants completed with dark brown shoes.
"Your waistcoat did you put them on?" Jane asked for she liked to remind him to put on his coat even though he didn't like It, a simple way of teasing that she found out.
"*groan* Yes I'll put them on" He groaned and said before he took out the light brown waistcoat from the wardrobe and put it on him before he opened the door "I look like a rolled-up mashed potato," he said and complained to his pseudo sister who only smiled beautifully.
"Oh, shush I think you look perfect."
"Really?" he asked smiling slightly up to her.
"Yes, really now come along let's get you breakfast at the kitchen hall." She said to the blonde before she turned back to the hallway and started to walk while the boy only proceeded to follow. They were no side by side as they walked in silence for a brief moment before a thought hit her.
"Come to think this is your first time in eating at the hall instead of your room, right?" She asked Nathan curious on what his reaction would be like but knowing him for a short time now she had already expected his reaction.
"Your right! I've never been eaten at the kitchen halls!" He grinned and said before he sped fast slightly from the side of the church deacon. Before he turned around and folded his hands at the back of his head carefreely while walking backwards in doing so. He was already beginning to form plans if when he would finally arrive at the kitchen,
"Hehe, hey sister jane can you show me around the keep later on?" He asked while still walking backwards.
"Nathan, I don't think I'll have some free time later on but I could have Father Credence accompany you, dear." She told and suggested to the carefree blonde before the boy turned back to face the hallway as his shoulders seemed to slump suddenly.
"Eeehhh, but father Credence always drones out to himself whenever you ask something." He dejectedly complained to the deacon who only chuckled lightly at his complaint of father Credence. Then due to him not paying attention to his way he didn't notice the cross corner of the hallway up ahead until a person came out of the right corner out of his vision before they collided and bumped.
"Oww" "Ouch"
They both simultaneously said together as they both already found themselves at their butts on the ground of the floor. he rubbed the back of his head slightly dazed due to their collision before he looked at the person he bumped at, What he saw left him stunned the person was a beautiful girl probably around his age, she had this dazzling shining blonde hair that was tied into a braided bun and was seemed to be dusted by gold, her mesmerizing eyes were like shining green teal emeralds that when they looked at each other it pierced his deep sapphire orbs, She had a creamy white skin and she wore a blue, knee-length skirt with tights, then a white shirt with a blue string tie, and completed with brown boots that perfected her attire.
"By the light... are you two alright?" Sister Jane asked to the two before she hurriedly helped the two get up from the floor.
"Oh, I-I'm sorry" He apologized quickly to the girl who stood in front of him who seemed to be not looking at him and was instead dusting her skirt.
"It's alright, I'm fine." She said in a chirpy voice trying to reassure the person that she bumped into that she was alright while she finished dusting her blue skirt. Then she looked at him at the face before her teal colored eyes narrowed down at him when she recognized his face.
"Are you sure you're alright, Lady Arturia?" Sister Jane asked the girl he bumped now named Arturia. While the said only ignored the boy in front of her and looked at the older woman before she answered.
"I assure you, sister Jane, I'm fine and now if it pleases you, I must be off for breakfast." She bowed slightly as she suddenly answered a little monotonously but still had a courteous tone to Jane before she made a nod and turned her way to the hall and walked away ahead. Though a tiny little bit miffed at the girl for ignoring her he was curious though on the person he bumped so he asked.
"Sister Jane, who was that?" He asked the deacon who only smiled at his question.
"Oh, that's right you didn't get to meet her right? that was lady Arturia Pendragon daughter of lord Uther Pendragon." She answered to the blonde who guffawed when he received the information.
"What! She doesn't even look like Uther!" He exclaimed in surprise as they now continued, they're walking.
"Yes, we know she looks a lot like her mother Altria in more than one way but she did inherit his father's temperance and intellect." She said calmly to Nathan, while the boy only went silent and then contemplated his encounter with the girl inside his head, until they're entire walk of small talks and banters have finally ended as they had already arrived at the kitchen hall.
"Now I'll leave you here I already had my breakfast and just wait for Father Credence all right?" She questioned Nathan if whether he listen to her instructions. while the boy only nod in acknowledgment of her statement before sister Jane left to do her work for the day.
The kitchen hall was fairly quite large it was quaint in description with a few stone pillars and wooden tables with chairs for a person to sit and eat. He then went on to the cooks of to the kitchen to ask for his breakfast, as he walked towards the cooks at the end of the hall. The few people who were soldiers and servants of the church that were eating their breakfast at their tables noticed the blonde boy that lord Uther had brought back and looked at him before they shrugged and went back to eating their respective meals.
Nathan then went on to sit on an empty table when he finally got his hearty meal of eggs and bacon with bread from the cooks. He ate in normal paced manner before he looked and observed all the people who were eating in the entire kitchen hall, he noticed that all of were all adults and he could even see some very few elves and dwarves here and there. Until his eyes landed on a familiar shade of blonde hair across the hall.
'It's Arturia.' he came to a conclusion inside his head when he had spotted her sitting alone by herself on a table as she ate her meal elegantly, and being the only one around his age that he could relate to he couldn't help it but stare at her direction.
However, when Arturia felt someone was staring at her direction she immediately looked around the hall to see who it was. Until then her teal green eyes landed on very familiar unkempt spiky sunny bright hair and locked on for a brief moment into a pair of deep charming blue orbs. Before she finally realized who he was. She only intimidatingly narrowed her eyes again to the boy, when he smiled at her with a slight wave of his right hand while scratching the back of his neck nervously, before she broke off their eye contact and proceeded on with her own business.
Nathan's left eye twitched, on what he saw she ignored him again that's what he can say before he sighed. He continued to eat his meal for some time alone with really nothing else to do. Until he looked back to Arturia's direction and saw she finally finished her breakfast and turned to leave.
*Music - Nisekoi OST: Bunseki*
'Great now I'm going to wait for Father Credence's tour of monologues…. I bet she knows a lot of interesting kinds of stuff around the keep…. wait that's it!' He suddenly had a surge of thought and grinned before he finished his meal and cleverly followed Arturia throughout the Keep if only he had stayed back on the kitchen hall, he would've seen a very frantic Father Credence looking around the hall for him.
"Nathan! Where are you!" the voice of Father Credence hollered through the halls
*Sometime Later*
he guilefully followed her they first arrived at the cathedral listened to a sermon at the cathedral by a priest dwarf named Broxxast. Second place she went as he followed was the library on which he used as catch up review learning from yesterday, the third place was the stables of the horses on where he was almost busted out of his cover by the blasted horses. Fourth place was the huge armory of the keep he marveled at the steel weapons and shields placed on their stands each bearing the symbol of Lordaeron upon them.
Currently, he is now cleverly following her again through the gardens of the keep that had large hedges. Before she run into the right corner on which he followed afraid of losing sight of her. However, he didn't expect it when he turned into the corner, she suddenly rammed herself to him and pinned him into the hedge wall by pinning both of his arms above his head by a single-arm. They were faced to face with only a small gap and they're eyes stared back at each other, one sapphire and the other emerald.
"Why are you following me?" she threateningly asked him with her icy cool voice as she now slightly glared to him and continued to pin him.
"Who says I was following you?" his eyes looked to the right and wittingly shot back while the girl only tightened her hold on his arms before he winced due to the slight pain.
"I do, now answer me" She pressed on her question.
"Alright, *sigh* I-I was just bored so I tried to follow you around, plus I didn't want myself to be stuck on Father Credence's Monologues." He said truthfully and slight nervously to the girl that was pinning him at the moment. She only blinked a few times before she released her hold on him while the boy was only feeling his freed wrists.
"I didn't like it when father brought you here but whatever I still have some sword training to go to so could you just leave me alone now?" She requested to him before she turned back and continued to walk until she noticed there were footsteps following her and when she looked back, she saw him following again this time his face was marring an embarrassed and sheepish expression.
"I kinda …. don't know the way back." He answered smiled sheepishly as he scratched his neck in the back. Arturia just suddenly had to suppress herself from groaning due to his antics.
"Just don't bother me." She tonelessly shot at him.
"Aye! Sir!" He cheekily answered with a salute though that answer and action did earn him a tiny glare from her. They continued to walk on the garden though in relative silence until the two blondes have finally got out of the garden and arrived at the courtyard. What he saw at the courtyard were wooden training dummies that had wooden swords and shields. On the center of the courtyard however stood a muscular fairly built older man, if he could guess by the man's appearance, he looked like he was in his mid-forties, the man short black hair and beard, he had black pearled eyes that spoked conviction. He donned a heavy regal-looking armor with the colors of blue-purple and gold linings with a blue cloak at his back.
"Good, it seems like you didn't plan on skipping your lesson today lass." The man spoke to her.
"I would never skip on sword lessons, even if you rarely do visit Uncle Gavinrad." She said as she smiled slightly to the man now named Gavinrad before she had to catch a wooden practice like sword that the older man had toss towards her. However, when Gavinrad noticed him standing there he only raised an eyebrow out of curiosity.
"I didn't know you were bringing your lover, today lass." He teased the both of them before he laughed when the two blondes face morphed into of irritation.
"She-She's, not my lover!" Nathan shouted quite flustered and irritated by the teasing remark of the older man, while Arturia only face-palmed at his easy reactions towards Gavinrad that only seemed to rile up his mirth. After he laughed heartily at their reactions, he then looked at the boy before he approached him.
"The name's Gavinrad the Dire lad what's yours," Gavinrad said to him as he held out his hand for a handshake on which the boy took and shook.
"Nathan." He smiled and earnestly answered the older man
"aren't you the lad that Uther brought back?" Gavinrad questioned on which Nathan nodded on "Then do you know how to use a sword?" he asked again
"No" Nathan answered as he shook his head to the question.
"No? well, we can't have that, a lad at your age should've at least know how to swing a sword by now." Gavinrad said
"Can't we just start now uncle? I don't see the reason to delay this training any longer." Arturia exclaimed to the older man while the other blonde only lightly glared at her remark.
"Now, don't be like that Arturia, how about you join us with the training while you observe first our spar." He chastised to Arturia who only rolled her eyes and suggested to Nathan who agreed to the notion and nodded his head. Gavinrad and Arturia then went on and postured themselves before the girl lunged herself in breakneck speed at the defending older man.
"AHHH!" She yelled a battle cry before she clashed swords with Gavinrad. Their entire fight was both fast and full of skill while Arturia did her strikes with much more grace as he could take note by his observation. Their entire bout lasted for an hour with sounds of wooden practice swords echoing throughout the courtyard until they finally stopped to catch some breath.
"*breath* Did you get all of that?" Gavinrad asked to him
"Yes, you both were fast!" He said honestly to Gavinrad who chuckled while Arturia couldn't hold it in anymore and just rolled her eyes to the side.
"Don't worry you will get to our stages later on if you train hard lad, now how about I test your mettle and see where you stand." He said to Nathan as the boy caught the wooden practice sword that Gavinrad threw at him.
"But didn't I told you I don't know how to wield a sword?" He asked the older man now standing in front of him who only took his stance.
"Nah, don't worry lad just follow your instinct in this one, and I'll be the one who'll be on the offensive this time so try your best to defend yourself and follow your instincts lad." 'and I know Uther didn't just brought you here for nothing.' He said and thought before Nathan did his clumsy attempt in executing the stance that he saw Gavinrad did a while earlier. Then the older man dashed towards him with his whole body and wooden sword ready to strike. Nathan only parried his strike overhead and rolled to the side much to his surprise and while Arturia only raised her delicate eyebrows in surprise to his well-maneuvered decision.
'what was that? 'he thought and wondered in surprise 'Did I learned to fight on my past?' He questioned to himself with the thought.
'I knew it and not only that, he was quick to react to my strike' Gavinrad thought as they resumed, they're spar as the older man continued his assault while Nathan only dodged his way through the bout while also receiving light blows. Before they stopped when a soldier riding a horse hurriedly arrived at the courtyard in haste.
"Lord Gavinrad! I bring I'll news!" The soldier in armor urgently reported. Gavinrad only went to the soldier who now dismounted his horse and conversed with the soldier for a while before his face turned grim and as he turned toward them.
"I'm afraid something had come up that needs attention young ones, so we'll end the lesson here." He said before he walked with the soldier back to the keep leaving the two blondes alone.
"So, what now?" he asked and broke the silence between them.
"Now you leave me alone." Arturia quickly said before she turned around and began to walk away, while he only followed her on.
"*groan* Oh come on, can't you be my friend?" He asked the girl in front of him as she suddenly stopped quickly before she continued.
"No" She shortly dismissed him when she continued to walk. He still followed her however and as they walked, one could hear their voices throughout the keep constantly one-sidedly bantering along the hallway.
Fighting on the wars against the orcish Horde, seeing the destruction that had happen to his people and the kingdom of Stormwind and losing his wife made him lose the belief in the notion of fate that he once had before he became a paladin of the church. By forming the alliance, uniting all the nations and races of the land to face on the total brutality of the Horde and having to raise his daughter on his own. Only then he believed that destiny can be only forged by your own two hands and by the aid of all those around you, he never questioned himself about it until now...
'Fate must be playing with me...'
For when he searched the child's home and family. He came up with nothing and nobody even seems to know him when he ordered some of the soldiers to search the nearby villages of the accident for the information about the lad. It was like he just popped out of nowhere and the boy's loss of memories didn't help at all.
'It must be the will of the light...'
There was nothing else that could explain it nor his sudden appearance and he couldn't just let him go and leave him to fend for himself, not after that storm that he had just witnessed. He could guess he always had a soft spot for blondes first his wife Altria, Arthas, Arturia and then the boy. Though he didn't know the lad's name or who he truly was. He did, however, gave the boy a name when he asked for one, for he could at least understand the lad for wanting at least an identity to himself and having lost his name and memories and all.
He did learn about the natural personality of Nathan though the name that he had given to the boy and he came to realize that not only was this boy was so fun-loving and bright in personality but was also inquisitive and curious boy. That he knew when he had actually taken up the mantle of taking him into the fort's grand library and teach him yesterday when he was finally cleared and allowed to go outside.
He wanted to learn what he did forgot so when we did arrive at the library itself, he was all around the place and was particularly astounded by the number of books of the library held. It had been truly long ever since he had to personally taught someone about the knowledge of the Kingdom and the realm.
He told him about the Smithy race of the Dwarves of Khaz'Modan, the engineering geniuses of Gnomergan, the Gnomes and the ancient noble elves of the north and the other creatures of the land. It was truly refreshing that he could agree the only ones that he could remember that he had taught so much were Arthas and his daughter Arturia on whom he noticed that we're only a year apart on their age if you base it by their looks. But if he could base it on what he at their interactions with one another that he had observed he could only say that they couldn't mostly get along.
Flashback
A child with a bright sunny hair of twelve years old basing it on his looks and an older bearded man with brown hair could be seen approaching a fairly large stone building.
"Were here lad" said has opened the door before they entered.
"Woahh..." The blonde said in awe at the number of books. The two then proceeded to an alleyway of bookshelves on the right side of the building while the blonde was now actually beginning to sweat slightly though a thing that the older man didn't notice.
Thud!
The large tome sounded when Uther placed on the wooden table before he dusted his hands.
"We'll start here from the 'Lands of History' to the 'Each Nation Each Culture'." He said to the child who opened the large book before he looked back to Uther and scratched the back of his while smiling nervously. He raised an eyebrow to the boy curious on what's the problem.
"What's the problem, Nathan?"
"Well..." he fidgeted when the gaze of Uther settled towards his direction.
"Well? Spit it out lad" he asked the boy before the blonde gulped.
"I can't read..." the blonde hesitantly said
"I should've expected it..." after all, how could he slip it out of his mind that, the boy did lost his memories after all. He said that before he palmed his forehead and sighed.
"Well, its ok lad after all from now on you are my charge and do you know what that means?" He asked the child who only shook his head before his face turned into a bearded grin.
"That means I will pound some skills into that empty head of your lad and not only reading will you be learning from me, no sir, you will not sleep, blink, drink, and even scratch your bum until were through. Hahaha" He said before he heartily laughed and made another thud at the table when he placed another pile of books, much to the blonde's horror who only paled comically white.
End of Flashback
He was a free spirit that's what he could coin the lad, though curious and inquisitive he was surprised when he had observed that he was actually the opposite of a what you could call a studious person. He chuckled a bit when he remembered their many hour's study yesterday. It was truly so nostalgic for him to actually spend time with a child once again that acted his age. His face formed saddened frown on how he remembered Arthas where he was forced to grow up quickly and along with his daughter that he couldn't reach out to ever since the day that she lost her mother and his wife to a party of orcs that scoured near New Avalon. He then continued signing the paperwork that he left for teaching the child yesterday.
'Ahh...paperwork a leader's burden through the times of peace." He said before he sighed and resigned himself to his work and continued working. It was already noon He had to finish them after all before he could leave this afternoon and make way for his report back at the capital and tell Terrenas at what he had found. He could give this day and tomorrow to the boy as his rest and a chance for him to explore this city. Then the door suddenly opened hard before a tired and exhausted soldier appeared as the door opened along with his friend and colleague Gavinrad who's face marred a grim expression.
"L-lord Uther! *pant* you have been called by his Majesty to Stratholme!" The soldier hurriedly said.
"Easy soldier, now can you tell me what's wrong and why am I been called to Stratholme?" he asked to the ragged soldier.
"I-it's about lord Tirion Fordring they said he had been found protecting an orc and they want you as the head judge for his trial at Stratholme Mi' lord!" the stammering soldier urgently reported.
"WHAT!" He thundered to the now cowering soldier.
*So that's the end for this chapter and probably would be one of my longest chapters yet.
