Author notes : I'm a sorry but Invincible is already dead and it will take things from bad to worse. Also Invincible died in the lore and came back as an undead horse when Arthas got Frostmourne. I would also like to note that the story is a bit darker here than it's been in previous chapters. Thank you to everybody who's commented and favorited this story, you're support make it easier to keep going with this so thanks.

Arthas

Arthas woke early. He went to stand out on his balcony it was a beautiful morning, the clouds were a reddy pinkish colour to the east. Arthas heard a noise and whirled around and saw the stable boy standing behind him, there was blood on his clothes and he looked slightly scared.

"Sorry to disturb you your majesty" the boy said bowing deeply.

"What is it?" Arthas asked.

The boy trembled "Your horse my lord, he is dead".

Arthas stared at him for a few moments in shock not believing what he had just heard.

"I'll get dressed then you will take me to him" he said.

When Arthas was dressed the boy lead him down to the paddock beside the stables. Arthas knelt over his fallen friends body. His hand stroked his white mane that was splattered with a little blood. The grass around Invincible was red and some of his beautiful white was stained red. All Arthas could do was scream, it hurt losing Invincible. As he screamed he felt tears forming in his eyes. He didn't want to cry, to let people think he was weak but he couldn't stop the tear that was running down his check. Arthas found the spot where his beloved Invincible had been struck, the heart. He pulled out the arrow and examined it. There was no doubt that the arrow belonged to Sylvanas. He would kill her for this but in the mean time he had something else to take care of.

"YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF THE HORSES HERE. HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN!" he yelled at the stable boy.

"I'm sorry my King. It won't happen again" the boy said.

"You're right it won't happen again" Arthas said drawing his sword "For your failure I sentence you to death".

There was a look of fear in the boys eyes before Arthas drove his sword through his heart and he was gone in seconds. Arthas let the body fall to the ground his blood applying a new layer to the already soaked ground.

Arthas walked back into the palace still covered in Invincibile and the boys blood. He held his sword out in his hand and the blood dipped of it as he walked through the palace. People looked at him in shock and fear as he passed them in his bloody appearance.

He turned to one of the servants and said "Dig a nice grave for Invincible. I don't care what you do with the body of the boy"

The servant nodded and hurried to do what he had been ordered to do. It didn't take him much longer to find her. She was dressed in her armor as well so clearly she had been expecting him. Given the look of shock on her face however she had not expected to see his blade covered in blood. He moved over to her quickly well she was still in shock and grabbed her by the throat.

"YOU BITCH! YOU KILLED INVINCIBLE!" he screamed at her.

"Yes, I did" she managed to get out between gasps for air.

He raised his sword to kill her but she moved faster and struck him hard in the chest with her foot. Arthas released her and stumbled back giving her time to draw her swords. They moved towards one another blades ringing against each other. The sound of ringing steel filled the room.

'Kill her' he thought 'I've been married to this bitch for long enough'.

He was solid and strong, if their blades locked he would easily be able to overpower her. However she was quick and one of her blades made a small cut in his back.

He cursed 'I must keep my guard up, I can't let her get many more shots like that in'.

They kept fighting blades hitting against each other. People began to come in the hall with them and called out for them to stop but neither of them noticed, they were too busy trying to kill each other.

"DIE!" Arthas yelled as she certainly wasn't making things easy for him.

He swung at her head but she ducked.

'Why won't she just die' Arthas throught.

Arthas side stepped her blades and aimed to stab her through the centre. She moved out of the way.

At that moment General Morton entered the hall and saw them fighting.

He drew his sword and ran towards them shouting "STOP THIS MADNESS!".

He reached them and stuck his blade between them.

"IF YOU CAN'T STAND EACH OTHER JUST GET A DIVORCE! THIS IS JUST CRAZY!"

Arthas and Sylvanas took a step back. He hadn't considered that. He still wanted to kill her but perhaps getting divorced would be the best option for now given how many people there were in the hall currently. He'd get back to killing her later.

"Fine we'll get divorced then" Arthas said.

Sylvanas nodded in agreement "Yes, that's a good idea".

Arthas smiled maybe Jaina would want him when he was divorced.

Illidan

Illidan stood outside practicing his forbidden arcane magic. The ground beneath him was wet from the recent rain but for now the sky was clear.

"Illidan may I speak with you?" his brother voice called out from behind him.

Illidan almost jumped in the air, he hadn't noticed Malfurion standing behind him.

'Crap, he's not going to be happy that he just saw me using arcane magic' Illidan thought.

After the whole demon invasion thing and the betraying them to Azshara, Malfurion had wanted to through Illidan in jail but Tyrande had talked him out of it. Better than some others who had wanted him dead however.

Illidan groaned "Nope I'm really busy at the moment"

Malfurion nodded "Doing what? Not using forbidden arcane magic are you?"

"Nope definitely not. Why would I do something that was forbidden? It will only get me several hour of you and Tyrande lecturing me" Illidan replied.

"Illidan I just saw you!" Malfurion said.

"Can't have done. I wasn't using any arcane magic" Illidan replied.

"Yes you were! Now stop behaving like a child! Tyrande asked me to speak to you" Malfurion said sounding slightly frustrated.

'Oh wonderful Tyrande's going to Malfurion now to complain about me' Illidan thought he was starting to feel angry for some reason. "Of course she came to you, she always comes to you" he snapped and suddenly he realised why he was getting angry. He had noticed how things were between Malfurion and Tyrande and was seriously wondered if they were falling in love with each other.

"Theres no need to get angry" Malfurion said calmly.

He was wrong though, for Illidan there was need to get angry.

"YOU ALWAYS JUDGE ME AND LOOK DOWN ON ME! I HATE YOU! YOU ONLY HATE ME USING ARCANE MAGIC BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE FACT THAT I'M MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU! I'M BETTER THAN YOU IN EVERY WAY!" Illidan yelled.

Malfurion looked at him in shock "Illidan calm down"

That only made thing worse, only made Illidan angrier. He charge forward knocking his brother to ground. He moved to punch his brother in the face but Malfurion who was still slightly taken by shock still managed to avoid it. The two brothers punched and kicked at each other for several seconds before breaking free of the hand to hand combat and turning on each other with magic. The air was filled with colour as their spells flashed through the air.

There battle became more intense and they started to move away from where the fight had begun. There were cries of shock as civilians moved to get out of the way of the spell blasting from the two brothers. A blast from Malfurion sent Illidan flying and he landed in the water a few meters away. As he was about to stand and attack back he became aware of somebody standing over him. Looking up he saw Tyrande standing there.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH BOTH OF YOU!" she yelled at them.

"I'm sorry Tyrande I don't know what came over me, I shouldn't have attacked back" Malfurion said with a certain amount of shame in his voice.

She turned to Illidan next "Why?" said asked him.

He shrugged 'because you two like each other don't you, because he was looking down on me as usual' Illidan thought. "Because he was being judgemental and annoying" he said.

Tyrande sighed "I can't take this anymore Illidan. I'm done with this, we're done" she said.

Illidan looked at her in shock "You're breaking up with me. Why?".

Tyrande looked back at him "After everything do I really need to answer that?" she said.

Then she turned and walked away leaving Illidan hurt and confused.

Sylvanas

Sylvanas stood at the door to one of the dungeons which had temporarily been converted into a morgue. She watched the woman in the centre of the room sobbing as she stared down at her dead son. The boy's name had been Blake, he was eleven and he had worked in the stables till Arthas had killed him. It was his blood she had seen on Arthas's blade

that morning. Blake's mother's name was Audrey and she worked in the kitchen Sylvanas had learnt. Audrey screamed and sobbed as Sylvanas watched.

'This is my fault' Sylvanas thought 'he would never have been killed if it wasn't for me killing Arthas's stupid horse'. She had known that Arthas would be angry and retaliate but she never imagined this as the consequence. She looked back at the boy on the table. There was blood and mud in his brown hair and his skin was so pale. His clothes were soaked in blood and some of it had transferred on to his mother's clothes but she didn't seem to care. 'Arthas truly is a monster' she thought as she watched the mother's pain. She was starting to understand the possible cost of her problems with Arthas, their fighting had already taken the life of a child who did not deserve to die and many more people could die before it was over.

The woman then turned and noticed Sylvanas watching her. She hurriedly got to her feet and bowed.

"My Queen, I'm so sorry I didn't see you there. How may I be of service?" she said between sobs.

"There is no need to apologies. I'm the one who should be sorry not you. I'm so sorry for loss" Sylvanas said.

Andrey nodded "Thank you, my Queen" she said.

Sylvanas came over and stood beside her giving her a closer look at the boy on the table. As a warrior she was use to death and tearful families but this was something else. With the dead rangers telling the family that they died bravely offered some small amount of comfort but their was no words of comfort that could be offered to a woman that had just lost her son because the King had randomly decided to kill him. Arthas would never be punished with this kid's murder because he was the King, he made the laws and the boy was just a servant. Audrey turned to her and hugged her. Sylvanas could have pushed her away but nothing she could say or do would bring this woman's child back.

"Why did he have to die? Why did the King have to kill him? He was a good boy and he died over a horse" Audrey sobbed.

"I'm sorry" Sylvanas told her. 'Arthas you will pay for this you sick son of bitch. One of these days I will kill you' she vowed to herself.

Arthas

Arthas stood in the pouring rain. He stared down at the hole in the ground that the servants were filling in. At the top of the grave a stone was placed that stated that it was Invincible whose grave it was and a few other words. Arthas was dressed in all black as were all of the nobles that attend court that were now attending the funeral. They all thought it was ridiculous that he would hold such a service for his horse but they all were attending anyway to try score extra points with the King. Arthas stood and said a few words for his fallen friend. After he had spoken the ceremony ended. Arthas was still very angry with Sylvanas but for now he would be happy to get divorced.

"I'm sorry for your loss King Arthas" a noble man said to him.

"Yes, Invincible will be missed" he said 'Sylvanas, I will kill you for this one day' he silently vowed to himself.
