Heres the Spinoff for Patch 2.4

"Soon...soon deliverance shall come to us! Our suffering is almost at an end, soon...we shall bask in the Sunwell's glorious energies again..."

Below his raised dais Kael surveyed the blood elves before him. Gone were the creamy tones of skin and lustrous hair. Instead before him were elves that were...hardened under his care...well his and his masters care.

Turning he led himself back to his sanctum to...contemplate about how he could be on the verge of having such power...and still feel so empty. Glaring at a passing wretched he continued his trek. He missed his son he realized...the boy he spent years searching for...had abandoned him for the Naaru when his research into restoring the Sunwell turned into an obsession.

'I only did what i did to spare him from the pain of the extraction; i couldn't bare to see him in such pain...'

Laying hand on the door to his chambers his pushed it open to spy an intruder in his
room by shelves observing the books strewn about it haphazardly.

"You DARE defile my sanctum?! Speak your name before I tire of you and have your life force ripped from y-..."

His tirade was interrupted as the figure turned and shocked him into silence. It was his son! His son had returned to him!

Taking a shaky step forward he froze as his son leveled him with a reproachful gaze.

"The years haven't been kind to you i see father...or is that due to your new 'feeding' habits?" Naruto remarked snidely.

"N-naruto...what?" breathed out Kael as he flinched under the observation.

"Look at yourself! Your a SHELL of the regal man i remember sweeping me from a life of loneliness and glares to become a PRINCE or an entire people!"

Indeed glancing briefly at a mirror at the side showed his gaunt, drawn face, his hair that had lost the splendor it once had...worst was the giant pulsating crystal lodged in his chest...even the area around it had turned green. Be it because of infection or corruption he didn't know. Returning his gaze back onto his son he attempted to regain control of the situation.

"Naruto! How can you say that?! Everything ive done ive done for you! I built the seal room to extract the essence of the demon inside you. I even helped refine it so the repercussions were less son you. I even looked into other avenues for your sake!"


"No, this wasn't about sparing me pain was it father? You were already addicted to fel energy long before you found me...no this was about revenge on what the Lich King did to our people."

Flinching again as the comment hit close to him Kael turned the conversation to another direction.

"Why did you abandon me my son?" he questioned as he walked forward to embrace his heir. Only for Naruto to glare harder and step out of the path of his father.

"I didn't abandon anyone father. YOU abandoned our people. Our cause. Our heritage. You even abandoned ME!"

Anger blossomed in Kael's chest...Why couldn't the foolish boy just understand that what he was doing was the way, that it was righteous.

'The boy doesn't understand...he never will...his mind has been poisoned against you by the Naaru...he is beyond redemption...he must be dealt with...'

Hearing the voice of his master froze him in his place...he couldn't...could he? Could he turn his hand against his own flesh and blood?

Naruto stood stock still as his father stopped his advance and knitted his brows together at the look of horror being replaced by...unwilling resignation?

"I-i'm sorry son...this is the way it has to be..." Kael whispered as he launched one of the ever present green balls of fire at his son. Naruto was rooted to the spot as the approaching ball of death hurtled toward him before being pulled to the side by an invisible force and slamming into a crude totem.

"What!? What is this?" Kael yelled in outrage as his masters urgings whispered the back of his mind.

"The prince not be fightin' alone mon." Rumbled a troll as it stepped into the room. A Shaman Kael noticed.

"Naruto expressed much hope in being able to turn his father back from the path of damnation...but it seems even he couldn't." Came the deep voice of a Tauren as it entered along side a Forsaken that seemed to be missing its jaw.

"My blood boils for vengeance for all the Horde you have slain!" Roared an Orc as it raised it axe in preparation for the fight that was inevitable now.

"So...again my son betrays me...the master was right then..."

"No father you have betrayed me again..." whispered Naruto even as he began to channel the power needed for the first attack...

Ugh i REALLY hate the lore for patch 2.4...kael was my favorite hero in WC3 now they make him into some junkie and the blood elves into vampire wannabes...

yeah seems like me comming out with a spin off every time a new patch comes out is gonna be a tradition or something till i find the time to continue the story proper...
