Me: Yay the writers block is gone!! Ok on with chapter 4!
Chapter 4: horde!
I awoke with a large headache and rubbed my temple. Ugh, I thought, the last thing I can remember is stumbling into and inn and collapsing. Suddenly, a sentiel came up to the room with some medicine. "young warrior." She said, "please rest, you have been injured badly." She gave me the medicine and I swallowed it down with some water. "no miss, I'm fine thanks. All I needed was rest." I realized I had a bandage around my head where my open gash had been. I thanked the sentiel and was off. I decided to do some hunting. I headed out near the raynewood retreat, just outside asaanstarr, when I heard a voice call out to me "well well, some fresh night elf." I froze, my heart pounding. I slowly turned and was face to face with a blood elf. He sneered at me, "stupid child, you think you'll avenge you parents deaths when all you're doing is being even more of a burden." He slapped me across the face. I grabbed for my staff and swung at him, knocking him down "shut up you bastard! Just shut the hell up!" I screamed as I beat him down. He jumped to his feet, punched me in the gut, and fled. I fell to my knees, gasping for air, when I heard a small voice "are you ok miss?" after that, I had blacked out
I awoke to see a small girl, a night elf, looking at me "oh good. You're awake. I was scared that you were dead miss." The little girl said. I raised an eyebrow "who are you, young one?" I asked. "my name's Alana. My mommy and daddy were killed by the horde last night, and I've been trying to find shelter." I felt sorry for the poor child. She only looked about 6 or 7 years old, just barely ready to leave her nest. She was sort of cuddled near me, trying to get warmth. I picked her up and said "lets go back to astaanar, mabey we can rest there."
When we got near astanar, we suddenly found out it was under attack by horde. Alana and I hid behind a rock, Watching the sentinels be killed. Alana began to cry. "those poor night elves." She sobbed. I could tell this child was not yet experienced with death. She probably had seen her parents die and was confused the whole time. This was sadly what being an alliance member was about. Seeing death and destruction around you and hiding your feelings. Anastaar was whipped out, and the horde had left with lots of gold and armour.
Later that night, Alana and I had found shelter in a small abandon cave just outside raynewood retreat. She was still upset over seeing the killings earlier that day "Alana," I explained "this is what being a warriors about, seeing all this destruction. These thing do happen. I lost my parents to the blood elves, and I've sworn to avenge them ever since." Alana stood up "I wanna avenge my mommy and daddy too." She said. With that, I carved a small sword and shield out of wood I had gathered earlier. Later that night we were both asleep. The next day I would train Alana, and then we would journey to the land of the blood elves.
Whew. That was a lot. Chapter 5 coming soon as always. Leave a comment!
