I was awakened by a tingling in my face and a beautiful smell. I opened my eyes to find my head in Leona's orange-gold hair. She was still snoring aloud when I went to look outside. Some citizens were in the camp seemingly getting along well with the barbarians, they laughed and inspected each other, I think that new things are always quite interesting. I went over to the main tent only to find Tryndamere in there with his officers. I didn't want to go all over this again since I knew exactly what would happen so I left again without Tryndamere even noticing I was ever there.'
I walked right into Ashe who was just walking around thoughtlessly it seemed. I asked her whether she was ready for what would come. 'Always', she said, 'my husband seemed to have worked out a great plan with you so that does soothe my mind about it, he is very reliable when it comes to these things'. I nodded in agreement, 'we still have a day before they will be arriving, is there anything we can do more?' I asked. 'Not really, almost everything was done yesterday, and I guess Trynda will finish the last things' she replied. 'Right, how about a trip through the city then?' I asked, 'I mean you are right in front of it don't you want to see the inside?' Ashe smiled 'I'd love to'. I went over to my tent to look for Leona who would also want to come for sure. Uzug was sitting in front of the tent, 'are you coming with us to the city as well?' I asked him. 'Sure why not?' Leona suddenly exited the tent fully armoured just without her sword and shield, 'You wouldn't mind me coming with you as well, would you? 'Nope, I said, we were just going to ask you, where is Pantheon by the way?' 'Oh', Ashe said, 'he went to the woods to finish things up there'. 'Alright, I am sure he will get to see it another time', I winked to Leona, who thought for a moment and then winked back', I am glad she understood what I meant. We walked through the city, I showed Ashe and Leona some things that might interest them, figures from the past who had done great things for our race like those who were resembled in statues in the walls outside. Inside were even more statues, I told the different stories behind these people and they listened carefully. We watched how the city was touched by the camp in front of it and watched how more and more people went to see what was going on. We ate some in an inn and continued our trip when all of the sudden I heard someone yell, 'Ashe', there was only one person I knew who could yell in this heavy-voiced manner from such a distance, we all turned around and saw Tryndamere running towards us. 'Hurry, to the camp, the Humans of Stormwind will arrive early, we need to get in position as quickly as possible!' he quickly spoke when he stood in front of us. We ran to the camp which was already empty when we arrived, we quickly took everything we would need and ran off into the woods of Eversong, knowing that the time had inevitably come. I was relieved and scared at the same time. Relieved because I wanted this to be over as soon as possible and scared for the fact that it could go wrong. We arrived at the barricade we made earlier. Thrall and Pantheon were already waiting for us. 'How much time we got?' I asked. 'None', Thrall said, 'They can be here any moment'.
So I waited, looking at the other side of the clearance, waiting for any movement. Tryndamere yelled some instructions like, 'Keep the flanks secure our only chance is fighting them off at the front'. I grabbed my bow hoping that my training at Dalaran would pay off here. After some time I heard some noise at the other side, I looked and saw Humans arriving, with both Noxian and Stormwind emblems on their armour. Tryndamere said in a low voice, 'We have to take them by surprise wait until they are at the half of the clearance'. I hated waiting but he was right. I strung an arrow on my bow and already aimed, knowing that they couldn't see us until they were close. I released when they had just crossed the half. Ashe quickly followed up.
'Go!' Tryndamere yelled, he jumped over the about one metre fifty high blockades together with Leona, Uzug, Pantheon and a group of barbarians. The enemy did seem surprised by us, but not deterred. They started charging at us but we were better prepared than they apparently thought we would be. Leona called forth her flare and blinded the front lines of them, followed up by Thrall who threw his lightning bolts. I shot at whatever moved and didn't miss a single arrow, neither did Ashe. However, they came in great numbers and filled the clearance and soon reached our front line. Our flanks had their hands full with fighting them off. One would say it did not look good at all for us, but we had the Great Shaman with us and a close bond so we fought with great perseverance. Eventually after a minute or ten we even started winning but at a cost, every loss at our side was one too much for the evil intensions of both Stormwind and Noxus. It's a pity the good must pay for them. Suddenly I saw Uzug fall to the ground with an arrow in his chest I looked in the direction it came from I saw an archer lining up another arrow but I refused to ever let him have another shot in his life, I shot and hit him right in the throat. 'Uzug', I yelled, I shot in a rapid-fire wanting to end this as quickly as possible so I could attend to Uzug, his cry encouraged me to even shoot more carelessly. Pantheon looked at Uzug and I swear I saw fire burning in his eyes. He dashed recklessly on his own through the lines of the Humans and mowed them down in pure anger. This action fortunately made them realize they had no chance at all against people who fought with such fury and they started to flee. I jumped over the barricade and looked in Uzug's eyes, and felt his pulse; he was still alive, for that I was thankful but for how long? His injury was severe and would surely cost him his life. I fell to my knees, tears started to form in my eyes but then I realised what Rhonin had said, 'everything you are capable of is already in you'. These words echoed through my mind. I placed my hands on Uzug's chest and focused my mind in a desperate try. Every sound went to silence and everything went white before I passed out.
I woke up in my tent with a terrible pain in my chest, the pain I had taken from Uzug. I panicked, and then I saw Thrall's face with a calm expression in his eyes. I wanted to ask where Uzug was but no words could escape my lips. 'Easy, young one, he is outside, you saved his life' I closed my eyes and thanked Rhonin for saying that one sentence, that had been, and would be the most important thing in my life. Uzug entered the tent together with the rest of our friends, I was happy to see him more than I could ever imagine. He thanked me for what I had done; I said that it would not be necessary to thank me for it. I looked at everyone, they all had a relieved expression on their faces and they surely would want to ask me many questions, I thanked everyone in my mind for helping me on my way through this and closed my eyes, knowing that I would not be tormented by any restless nights ever again.
