Thanks for the reviews, here's the next chapter.

Soaring over the harsh landscape of the Borean Tundra, the adventurers were drawing closer to their destination. "There it is, Coldarra " Anwyn said.

the gryphons began their descent into the Tansistus shield.

They dismounted and were greeted my a middle-aged human mage. "I trust you four are the heroes conscripted from the Alliance? "yes ,please bring us up to speed on the situation Garwin said with a hint of urgency. "young Lady Windrunner was last seen being dragged off toward the Nexus by several Dragonkin." "We sent the Horde group ahead to stop them" he shortly said after.

" Come on , lets go." everyone turned their head to Avinair already mounted on his horse and ready to go. " Avi, don't you want to get fully healed and rested before we leave?" "And let the horde get ahead even more?, no way"

Evanescence was on her Fel Steed in seconds. " Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Anwyn chuckled lightly at their enthusiasm and called her white Nightsaber to mount up. Garwin fallowed their actions. "good luck on your quest " waved the mage looming out of sight as the party rode north.

Somewhere north of Transistus Shield

Near the Nexus

She pulled her axe out of the corpse of a blue Dragonkin and turned to her companions. "Morecon did you see where the other mage hunters went?"

A deep voice arose from the Tauren, " yes, they hopped on a blue dragon and flew up into the Nexus". Keiriz frowned , her Fel green eyes turned to the azure colored rings floating in the sky. She snapped out of her gaze, "Thanilli

Use your totems to set up a perimeter around the area." the Orc complied the order with a swift "zug, zug" "Neztroz? Neztroz"? "yah Mon "?

Came from a rouge kneeling near a tree. "Climb up that tree and be our look out." The Blood Elf sat down next to the Tauren and began to start a fire.

Once the fire was blazing the horde party heard a call from high above.

"D'ere be sometin comin our way." "Nez do you see what it is?"

Bellowed the Tauren Deathknight. "It be definitely not da Blue Dragonflight."

Keiriz narrowed her eyes and saw two horses fallowed by armored cats.

"Its an Alliance party", Thanilli groaned at the news. " Why do we need the

Alliance's help?, we're better off on our own." Keiriz called her hawkstrider

With a click of her tongue and rode toward the approaching group. "hmf ,

Don't expect me to play nice with those sissies" the Orc grunted.

Keiriz rode up , clenching her reins tensely. "Halt , are you the group those mages said we'd be working with?" " Yes Garwin said with a stern gaze upon the Blood elf. " Ahem, fallow me please averting her eyes from the warrior. They fallowed her back to camp in front of the Nexus.

There was a great tension within the camp , the Orc looked up from what he was doing and growled at them. "Weak and cowardly vermin ". Anger swelled up within Avinair reaching to his sword's hilt but a soft hand stopped

Him." Stay your blade Avinair , this is not the time to let him get to us."

The paladin sighed softly at Anwyn's notion . "A little late to da party I see"

Came from a voice overhead. The blue troll jumped from the tree he was in and landed on his feet. He gave a short chuckle." I only be joking mon."

Keiriz began to speak in a commanding voice, "Alright people lets move out toward the Nexus. A Chorus of zug zugs, yeah mons and yes ma'am came from the camp. She was conversing with Garwin for a strategy for looking for the missing mage.

"Okay listen up ," Garwin yelled with both hands over his mouth .

"Here is the plan to finding the girl, Keiriz an I shall fly up into the nexus's rings and check the Oculus." "Anwyn and Thanilli will search the libraium

For any information we might need." "Neztroz and Evanescence will go to the rift to investigate and Morecon and Avinair will look in the hall of stasis." "Any questions?"

"Ya, is splitting up such a good idea mon?"

Garwin let out a sigh. "we will cover more ground faster that way"

"now we need to hurry before they do whatever they planning to her."

They split up into their groups and went through the portals into Malygos's fortress. Little do they know that he is expecting them.
