Author's Notes part 1:

CITIZENS OF DALARAN! Hi.

This chapter took me quite a while to finish, mostly because I wanted to keep it accurate. You have noticed Selina has done the same questlines our characters on wow had, that is so that you could be more familiar with her, maybe reminding you of your characters you endlessly leveled up if you've played the game!

Tons of updates on this chapter, there will be spoilers warnings when they enter the Cathedral, since I don't want to ruin it to whoever hasn't done the dungeons yet! :D

Many thanks for the views/follows/faves, and mostly Hoxadrine who's been such a lovely person and read my stories, reviewed and has been in general an amazing author and person!

The first artwork of the story has been uploaded, check my profile if you want to see Selina's Keyblade and how she looks like, I've almost completed the drawing of her armor as well.

Chapter 3: Cathedral of Eternal Night

Sleeping on a bed was probably the best reward she could get after all this fighting. So tired she was, she didn't hear the Demon Hunters running up and down the halls, excited or angry, ready to head to battle, or returning back from it.

Lazily stretching her arms she got out of her warm blanket. She wondered what the time was, feeling so rested, she was sure she had overslept. Nobody had bothered to wake her up or anything, maybe something bad had happened while she was snoozing. On the other hand Illidan had returned, so all the Illidari would be buzzing around him like bees, happy like little children for their master's return.

Speaking of Illidan she remembered the kind gesture he did last night, conjuring her food. It was rather odd since it seemed that he didn't like her much, almost always degrading her and looking down upon her. Maybe it was all in her head and that was his way of saying "thank you". It wasn't the first time she had consumed conjured food, mages tended to do that at times, and if she could use magic, it would be the first thing she'd learn. The taste however on whatever was conjured, was usually bland, with hint of flavors, she had noticed that the stronger the mage, the tastier or different the food was.

Selina was hesitant at first in eating what was on the plate, which was some kind of roasted fish, salad, bread and cookies! She thought it'd be polluted by fel magic, or that the Night Elf would try to pull an awful prank on her. As usual she gave in to her hunger and tried the food anyway. In her own surprise they tasted really good, the meal had almost its full taste, which made her very happy since she was starving. She smiled at the thought, an act of kindness is always welcome no matter how small it was, and coming in the form of food was the best thing to get on the good side of her.

Leaving her room she walked across the dark halls of the lowest region of the Fel Hammer and headed to the kitchen. Selina never really liked this place, but she couldn't say no when the highest Illidari commanders offered her a room there. She'd have preferred to live in the Hall of The Guardians were the Paladins lived, but due to how crowded it was she'd have to reside in the squires' rooms which meant no privacy for her.

It's not like the Illidari had welcomed her with open arms, just the opposite. They had a really hard time trusting her, since she wasn't one of them. It took her many weeks in just gaining their trust, and even more time into hellish missions against Demons just to prove she despised the Legion as much as they did. But eventually her worth was clear, so they were now respecting her as if they knew each other for a long time. However some Demon Hunters still disliked and belittled her despite her feats; unless she bore the demonic tattoos they had and rid herself of her mortal eyes, she'd still be an outcast to them. That was out of the question though, being a demon hunter was about hunting demons, it had little to do with looks. She also knew having a pair of horns and burning eyes was not part of her path.

Walking out of the kitchen, or better a room with tons of weapons and crates that resembled a kitchen, munching some Dried Mackerel Strips, she told herself it was time to head out to battle again. Reaching the control room of the Fel Hammer, dodging a flying warglaive some trainee had thrown highly inaccurate -or so she hopped -, she headed to the portal that lead to the Broken Shore. Nearby a tall night elf with green hair in a braid ran to her. It was Asha Ravensong.

"Slayer! You're finally awake! It's not like you to sleep in!" The tall Elf said. Selina looked at her "Is it that late?" She asked.

"That is fine, you deserved it after all!" Asha's face was concealed with a black cloth, so it was really hard to say what her expressions were. She took Selina's hand in hers. "Thank you for all that you have done, thank you for bringing our Master back. " She didn't need to see her face to understand how grateful the green haired demon hunter was. Selina broke out a warm smile and gave the Night elf a hug. It was the first thanks she had received after a long while; it made her feel happy and glad to see that her actions weren't taken for granted. With that she bid the demon hunter farewell and she headed to the battlefield.

When she arrived, still eating her small breakfast, she noticed that not much had changed; it seemed it was already midday.

"Is eating all you do when you're not fighting?" A familiar cold voice asked. She looked to her left and saw Illidan Stormage and next to him Khadgar. "Hm, more or less." She replied lazily. "Did you just wake up?" Khadgar asked her and she nodded. "We thought you were dead somewhere." Illidan added.

Selina choked, did they really think of her dead and didn't even search for her?! "Wow, thanks." She replied clearly annoyed.

~•~

"Never mind that, we need you to check out a nearby portal." Illidan said. Selina almost immediately summoned her armor and waited for instructions.

"Marius and his pet warlock managed to reverse one of the demon portals. Pass through and see what damage you can unleash on the other side. Most importantly you need to get rid of the commander that's informing the demons inside the Cathedral of Eternal Night. Only then can we invade it."

"The Cathedral? Are we going there that soon? We have zero clue of what's in there." Selina asked.

"We can't afford to lose any more time. You'll be doing this mission alone; do you think you can handle it?" Illidan replied as a group of human warriors were trying to catch a fleeing imp that was attempting to escape from a portal.

"Piece of cake" The girl replied as Khadgar pointed the direction of the portal while scolding the humans that were still struggling with the imp.

Selina ran inside the green vortex that led her atop of one of the Legion battleships, the control room in particular; only a few demons were present in the room, the commander was a tall and broad Eredar. She was in luck, since most of the demons had left the ship to fight on the Broken Shore. The elf hopped and managed a lethal strike on the Eredar's carotid, the other three Demons that were present, reacted too slowly and the girl was already on them. She slashed on the first Doomguard's knee, making it collapse into the second one; with a swift movement she stabbed into the heart of the wounded Doomguard and slit the throat of the other one. The observer that was behind her had already started casting a spell; she barely dodged it, damaging her left leg plate. She felt her leg throb from the searing pain, but she would not let another spell be casted on her. She ducked under the large figure's floating body, slicing its stomach. The demon left a roar of pain, as its intestines started sliding from the cut Selina had created. Soon all its foul insides were stagnating on the floor.

The room went silent and a horrible stench emitted from the demonic corpses. The injured woman got an idea as she headed to the ship's communication panel. She left an SOS message, saying that some of the Legion ships were being assaulted from the inside and reinforcements were needed from the Cathedral. After making sure the message had been transmitted, she smashed the control panel and ran through the portal before it closed. The fighters of the Broken Shore witnessed the glorious explosion that Selina's interference had caused on the Battleship.

~•~

The silver haired elf had returned, slightly wounded from inside the portal, moments before the explosion happened. Her plate armor was covered in blood, a sight he was used to by now. She didn't seem to mind her wound. Illidan could see that her armor had some kind of protecting enchantment; similar to the one the Wardens were using, but slightly weaker, although, even that couldn't fully protect the girl from the fel flames. As she walked close to him and Khadgar she complained "Ugh, I had just cleaned and repaired my armor! I hope you guys will cover my repairing costs! I also have interesting news!" Saying that, she dismissed her gear and was now standing in front of them. She asked them to lean closer so that she could tell them of what she had done without anyone listening.

The two arcanists gave a look at each other and leaned closer to the short –to them- elf. In Illidan's surprise, despite the fighting she was into, the girl smelt like fresh jasmines, distracting him a little by the nostalgia it caused him, until the girl spoke of her deeds in the Legion's spaceship.

Illidan was impressed none the less by the smart and swift action of the girl "Impressive improvisation. If only more of our forces could be entrusted with such missions." He said and noticed the girl's cheeks turn a faint shade of red; she smiled and thanked him happily. Khadgar patted her gently on her head as she was his little sister who had made him proud. "You gotta look out for that wound though." The Archmage told her.

Before he could finish his sentence, an Undead woman ran to them as she waved her hand. It was the same priestess who had healed Selina and her Master the other day. She pointed to the elf's injured leg and then made a notion that showed she had to sit down. Selina nodded and the jawless creature kneeled, with her hands glowing white, above the burned leg. Illidan was never really fond of the Undead, but it was the only healer that was nearby, and since Selina didn't complain. The elf had proven to be an admirable ally to their forces, but he was still worried by her temper in battle, throwing herself mindlessly into any possible fight against the Legion; and that weapon of hers intrigued him more, but the girl didn't seem to willingly give any information about it.

~•~

The pain had almost gone away in an instant. The undead woman had done a really good job and Selina warmly thanked her. The woman just bowed her head and placed her hand in her chest, where her rotten by now heart was residing.

"We'll enter the Cathedral at night; try to be around by then." Khadgar said. "You guys don't pay me enough for this stuff, I protest!" She pouted. "We don't pay you at all." The Archmage remarked. "Exactly!" Selina answered pouting even more. "Guess I'll go fetch a paladin to bless my armor…again..." she complained. Khadgar laughed and created a portal that led to Dalaran, she stepped inside it without looking back or saying goodbye. The girl was glad she finally got an actual appraisal from Illidan, maybe she misunderstood him and he didn't hate her guts that much. She always had the feeling that he disliked her; she wasn't really sure why she was being worked up about it, maybe it was because she had received zero gratitude from him, for bringing him back. Then again she felt pity for the guy; maybe if someone was nice to him and treated him as a living being and not an abomination, he wouldn't be such a grumpy old man.

She entered one of Dalaran's main shops called "Tanks for Everything" . It was a large shop ran by Blacksmiths. It was one of her usual places to be since she brought her armor there for repairs every time. She left the heart shaped sigil that she used to summon her armor to the blacksmith and left the building. The magical sigil that summoned her armor was a gift for her by her teacher, made by a skillful blacksmith. Because she was always so careless and ended up with her previous armors totally destroyed she needed something that would be fixed no matter how damaged it was, if only that could apply for people…

~•~

The young elf had returned quite early on the Broken Shore, she was looking for Prophet Velen to ask a few questions about their upcoming mission. Their party had already been formed, and they were all heading to the Deliverance Point were the Armies of Legionfall camp was set. Selina would be the guardian of the group, leading their party through the halls of the Cathedral, being the first to rush into battle distracting and taunting the enemies, as usual. The paladin Tauren known as Adatin Lighthammer, a female druid Night Elf called Eydrieth Wildbloom and a male blood elf Demon Hunter named Jen'theas Firefeather would finish off their targets by using all their force. The undead priestess whom Selina had grown a liking to and had named Maria, would assist them from the back lines with her amazing healing spells, making sure no ally would be wounded or killed.

Illidan couldn't wait for the moment he'd slay Mephistroth, his head was clear and his warglaives back at his hands, nobody could stop him now, even if the currently formed group would fall, he would succeed.

The tall and wise Draenei approached him. Prophet Velen was easy to earn anyone's respect, Illidan was no exception. The elder greeted him, and so did he.

"Illidan, convey the Aegis of Aggramar to the Cathedral. I will descend into the tomb with Khadgar and hunt the monster down. Kil'jaeden's reign of destruction will soon be ended!" Velen said. Illidan shivered with excitement, they were getting closer and closer to their goal.

The tall and ruthless Warden interrupted them." You are too quick to trust Illidan, Prophet. I will ensure he fulfills his duty." She said.

Of course this annoying woman would have to interfere at every given moment. Even now she wouldn't let him rest; her obsession with him had still remained in her heart. But who was he to talk about obsessions? He who his thought had traveled back to Tyrande's image, even as he drew his last breath back in the Black Temple.

Khadgar sighed rolling his eyes. "Right. We have our orders. Good luck."

"I think I'll head there now, see if I can scout ahead or something". Selina declared bluntly. Even though her face was hidden by the silver helmet she wore, her body posture was showing she was getting either stressed or upset. Illidan stretched his hand and opened a portal. "I'll join you then" he said.

"Don't even think about it Betrayer! As if I'll let you do as you wish with the excuse of 'scouting' " Maiev said walking angrily to them.

"Oh that's alright Lady Maiev! Come with the rest of the group! If he dares to do anything suspicious, I'll cut his legs and call you immediately!" Selina said walking in front of Illidan. Illidan gritted his teeth and looked at the girl, was she being serious?

Maiev stood there for a few seconds. "That's the spirit Slayer! Very well, we'll be joining you shortly."

With that they entered the portal. Still receiving death glares from the Warden, and the Tauren's disapproving gaze.

They were lucky the portal led them inside the entrance of the Cathedral, on a corner that worked as a blind spot. There they could see how many demons would 'welcome' them once they made their appearance.

Selina was looking around the room; she seemed to mostly stare at the beautiful architecture of the place rather than their enemies.

"So I didn't have you for a person that cut people's legs off just to please Maiev." He said still thoughtful about the girl's earlier reaction.

"It's not like you have legs in the first place." Selina said still looking at the ceiling.

So she had tricked the Warden in a way. He chuckled at the thought of her trying to even harm him though. Her small frame didn't look intimidating at all to him.

"After all you're a free man; I'm not your mom to tell you where to go and what to do, Maiev is just being hysteric, jeez. "

He just nodded in agreement, trying to reason with the Warden would have ended badly. "You take the left side, I take the right side, make sure you finish them off fast before they can warn their seniors…Can you do that?"

The girl turned to look at him as if he had insulted her great ancestors or stole her candy, well at least that's what Illidan had pictured by her sudden gasp. "Yeah, thought so." He said and engaged swiftly into battle.

The demons fell easily; there weren't that many guards since they were all fighting outside on the Broken Shore. He made sure to destroy the fel bats that were mindlessly flying around, in case they signaled more of their foul allies.

He looked at his right side, it seemed the girl had done her part of the job and now she was… Illidan went to her. The girl had climbed on a pillar and was desperately waving her blade up and down trying to…

"What in the name of the Titans are you doing?" He asked.

"Ugh…just…just a bit closer…I'll get that flower at any cost!" By the sound of that, Illidan put his palm on his face, sighing. Selina was trying to catch a blue-ish ivy that was hanging from the upper floor. "Can you get down before you fall, or even worse, before the enemies from the other floors see you?" The girl had ignored him, telling him it was all okay. Grunting he continued "What if it is poisonous or corrupted by fel?"

"Do you see any corruption? Or poison?" The elf asked. "No…" he said. "See? My instinct was right!" He sighed angrily once more, picking her up as if she was a cub and putting her on the floor, all that as she protested.

"I've been told you're a handful, there,there, quit being a baby." He complained reaching his hand, cutting a strand of the ivy and handed it to her.

"Oh it must be so nice to be that tall! Thank you!" She said happily.

"What are you going to do with that? You know it'll die in a couple of days, or get destroyed while we're here right?" He asked her. The girl seemed to look at the flower, not having considered any of these.

She then looked up at him and handed him the flower. "There, do your magical stuff- thingies and preserve it or protect it or whatever."

Did he look like a fucking druid? How could this girl speak so lightly of his magic, how could she have the audacity to command him, him! Illidan -freakin'- Stormrage, preserving a pathetic little flower. He would never do that!

He did that; casting a spell on the flower to grant it endurance and to not wither away anytime soon. He got angry with himself, thinking death had made him soft and did whatever a minor creature asked of him.

Selina removed her helmet and braided the glowing ivy of violet color on her hair. The saturation made contrast with her silver hair and looked rather pretty.

"The others will be here soon. I don't think we should move any further, there is a possibility someone will notice the mess we did here and call for reinforcements." He said crossing his arms close to his chest. He then noticed a faint glow on the other side of the room. He flew over it and noticed a star shaped pendant. It was white, made of sea shells and had a chain attached to it. He knew it didn't belong to the place, or the demons.

Selina was fighting in that area so he asked her. "Is that yours?"

Selina's face grew grim, and ran to him grabbing the weird shaped charm, catching him by surprise.

"Thank goodness…" She sighed in relief inspecting the object. He had gotten curious. "What is it?" He asked.

"It's…something I made many years ago for my brother…There was a tale this foreigner had told me when I was little, there was a world out there, were a certain tree bore a star shaped fruit. Whoever shared that fruit with a person they really cared about, it was said they would always find each other, no matter what…"

Illidan partially understood where this was going. "So if you keep this close, you think you'll find him at some point."

"He had to have it with him…if I wanted it to work." She sighed disappointed. There was an awkward silence. "But hey, I don't give up, I mean, look how many people have found me! And they all needed help; maybe good things don't happen to me, because I'm the good thing that's happening to someone else." She said giving him a warm smile.

Her words made him sink into his thoughts. How simple her way of thinking was, how innocent, but in the end, how true.

"Isn't that what happened with you too? You did your best keeping the demons at bay, saving a lot of people, but it didn't work out that well for you in the end, right?"

Her words disarmed him; he gave her a confused look. He felt as if he wanted to hug the girl, one who understood him would in no way had it easy in their lives, even if she did, she understood him, they didn't feel like words of pity, but words of mutual understanding…

His thoughts were interrupted as the doors of the Cathedral opened violently. Maiev entered and behind her the rest of their group. "It seems we had some cleaning to do outside this place, you did a sloppy job, Betrayer." She commented, but got ignored.

They walked inside, entering the main hall and witnessed the first group of demonic corpses. "We must place the Aegis in the tower before our losses grow insurmountable. Maiev Shadowsong added.

Suddenly a figure descended from the upper floors. It was none other than Mephistroth, who had decided to give them a warming welcome.

~ Dungeon Spoilers~

"Ah, our guests of honor have finally arrived. I look forward to ripping those horns from your skull, Betrayer!" He mocked him as he began ascending the building again with his massive wings.

"There is nowhere you can flee that I cannot reach you, demon!" Illidan yelled unfolding his own wings and chased the demon Lord.

"Illidan! Curse that impetuous demon hunter!" Maiev cursed running ahead.

The group was left behind, since the ground floor had been cleared from the demons that swarmed it, they ran on the swirling stairs to get to the first floor.

The building was once created for Elune, so that her followers could worship her and communicate with her. The elven architectures had done a marvelous work with the building, each corner, each column and each wall had its own story to tell. Despite of the demons taking residence in it, the place's lighting was silver, a silver hue that reminded of Mother Moon's caring touch. But that touch could barely reach them, for all the demons and their horrible fel works were trying to corrupt each and every corner of the once holy place.

As they climbed up the first floor, they had to fight a group of elven botanists and demons. It was a big garden, with beautiful and rare plants, all which had grown to be purple, blue and violet, from the effects of the Nightwell. The floor was made out of glass, giving a full view of the hanging ivies that Selina had tried to get a grasp of a couple of minutes ago.

Selina looked amazed at the garden, wanting to pick up each and every flower, and take it back home, well if she had a place to call a home that is. But then, she heard gasps coming from her teammates, she followed their gaze and her feelings of awe were now filled with horror.

One of the noble guardians of the Temple, a tree-like creature called Agronox, now twisted by the fel power he absorbed with his roots, he spreads corruption throughout the sanctuary he once protected, believing he has finally achieved his ideal state.

They realized some of the flowers had taken life of their own, and began assaulting them. They however managed to act fast and rid themselves of the living weeds, finally being able to focus on the fel infected ancient.

"These ancient grounds are not for you!" He shouted attacking them. Selina with her weapon in hand, hit the ancient on its sides, making it focus on her, driving its attention away from the party. Roots emerged from the corrupted ground, binding her on spot. As he raised his wooden hand to strike on the elf, the rest of her group unleashed an all out attack. Selina despite being pinned in one place, still could attack the creature.

The corrupted ancient had grown confused, not knowing which foe to attack first, soon his legs or what resembled legs, got tangled up with the very roots he used to trap his enemies, making it fall down. The heroes now that they had their opponent at a disadvantage , gave the final blow to the poor creature, putting it out of its misery. The beautiful hanging gardens were safe from the infesting energies, for now.

They rushed to the upper floor, cutting and slashing on every demon that dared cross their path. Soon they reached the stairs, where Maiev was killing a bunch of demons. "Illidan left behind a mess! Stay close…we shall carve a path through these demons! She said and the group followed her.

They had reached a big library, where some imps were munching or burning books. The demon hunter that was with them threw one of his glaives, killing instantly two of them, but getting the attention of the rest, who were now attacking them. Maiev snorted and killed the short creatures with but a swing of her Umbra Crescent.

Most of the library was a mess. Books and pages were scattered across the floor, either torn or burned. Adatin left a sigh, "So much knowledge, lost…" he said. Ahead of them lied the main library, were a large mo'arg awaited them.

The demonic abomination stood in the center of the room, around him there were a couple of imps that played with some books, tossing them to one another while setting some pages aflame.

Adatin growled at the sight once again, he couldn't stand seeing so much knowledge wasted at the hands of those creatures that respected nothing.

The blood elf demon hunter that accompanied them, used his spectral sight to check if any more demons were hidden. Thankfully only the imps and a couple of fel bats and the mo'arg were in the room.

Maiev told them that she would handle the bats and the imps, as the group would try to bring down the massive demon known as Thrashbite.

"Hey! Ugly retard!" Selina yelled. The giant demon looked at her surprised and dashed at them without hesitation. "You have some nerve mortal, I'll enjoy cutting you into tiny pieces" . He said as he attacked her with his giant mace. The girl deflected the blow with her keyblade slightly being pushed back from the savage force the demon had.

The massive abomination started spinning around the room; then suddenly stopped, and ran into the group at full force. However his attack appeared to be targeting only one person, head on the undead priestess.

"Hide behind the bookshelves!" Adatin shouted. Maria barely had the time to cower behind a tall thick bookshelf. The demon's attack completely demolished the heavy structure, but also had him immobilized for a few seconds, as books and ruble fell on him; seconds the heroes took advantage of to severely damage their enemy.

The druid of the team had taken the form of a Moonkin. She haressed the power of the moon to call down falling stars. The spell seemed to barely scratch Thrashbite's hard skin, but its brilliance had caused him to lose his vision for a couple of moments.

The demon hunter used a skill that transformed him into a demon, looking now much like his Master. He drove his warglaives deeply inside the creature's flesh, causing it to growl in pain, as he waved its mace blindly, trying to hit anything he could.

Their enemy would not back down, he kept trying to cause havoc with his massive weapon despite losing its sight. The heroes had it easy dodging the attacks, but the books on the shelves weren't as lucky.

The Tauren had grown fed up with the demon's actions. As the group kept relentlessly attacking the creature, he called down the only power that was strong enough to slay any unholy foe; the power of the Ashbringer radiated with a majestic golden light. The demon had fallen to its knees unable to move, from the binding light and from the deep cuts his body had sustained. The holy sword gracefully cut the demon's neck, decapitating him. The light had burned it that strong, that not a single blood had spilled the damaged but still beautiful floor.

A loud scream had stopped their brief celebration over their victory. It came from the upper floor where Maiev had gone to. As they climbed the stairways, they saw many dead fel spiders, the floor, the walls and the pillars covered with sticky webs. The fel corruption had taken its toll on the once beautiful hall of the upper Cathedral. The sickly green light radiated on every part of the room, making it look more like a Demonic building, rather than a place of hope and prayer.

An Aranasi was desperately trying to fight Maiev. The spider-like woman seemed to be alive by sheer force of will. The Warden had barely been wounded; something Maria immediately took care of the moment they arrived. As the elf grew tired of toying around with the hideous creature, she sliced its throat, green blood staining her cape.

Ahead of them Illidan seemed to be going on the last floor of the building. Maiev followed him clearly angry. "Ladies and Gentlemen, our amazing group of completely mentally unstable demon killers –and a Tauren- have reached their destination!" Selina joked, receiving death glares from everyone, even those who didn't have eyes. Except of Maiev, whose focus was somewhere else.

"Did you really think you could elude me, Illidan? Run again and I'll shackle you like the beast you are." She told him as the group kept up with them. "Posture if you must, Maiev, but for now, do what you do best and follow me." Illidan replied cockily.

"You two just get a room already… you fight like a married couple." Selina rolled her eyes growing tired of the endless steps and Maiev's and Illidan's non-stop quarreling.

Maiev didn't hear the younger elf as she was more concerned in keeping Illidan in her eyesight. But the Illidari Lord had heard her; Elune must have held his hand back, for he was ready to throw his warglaive to hit her right between the eyes, for spilling out such words. The girl however was completely oblivious to how angry he had gotten at her. She on the other hand found herself flushing up at the thought of the masculine Demon Hunter being all tied up, being the victim and not the hunter; thoughts she brushed off fast, since they had more important matters to look after.

On the last floor of the Temple, the fel power had become unbearable. In the entrance of the room ahead of the stairs, Khadgar's vision appeared in front of them.

"We've lost. The Legion broke our lines and pushed us out of the tomb. You're all that stands between them and the Aegis. They are coming?" The mirage disappeared and a horde of demons was heard coming from below.

Illidan ran back to the stairs. "Let them come. Maiev and I will hold them on the stairs below." Maiev joined him. "Forgive me if my glaive finds your heart Illidan. With so many demons about, it's hard to distinguish you from the rest of this filth." She mocked him.

"Oh they are at it again." Selina giggled as he was trying to hold back Jen'theas who wanted to attack the Warden for daring disrespect his Master, as Adatin said this wasn't a good time to start a fight between the groupies.

The five of them entered the final room of the building, which was destroyed. The beautiful stained glass that decorated the windows had been shattered. The fel's green corruption had stronger hue on the cracked marbles of the floor. The place was suspiciously empty.

Selina approached the center of the room and raised her keyblade, giving the Titanforged relic a real form. Suddenly a voice came from the other side of the room. "Kil'jaeden sends his gratitude for delivering the Aegis into our hands." A Fel lord named Domatrax appeared. "The full might of the Legion falls upon you!" He yelled engaging into a fight with the group."Keep him away from the Aegis at all costs!" Adatin shouted readying himself for the incoming battle.

~•~

He could hear clashing on the upper floor. He sensed the presence of a Fel lord. Thankfully he knew most of the group could handle whatever Fel lord would oppose them. At least Jen'theas, one of his trusted Illidari could. Illidan was helping them by keeping off the swarm of demons with that accursed Warden, he wouldn't let the screams distract him or the thought that Maiev might try to injure him during the fighting against the demons.

"I got you Lady Eydrieth!" somebody had yelled, it sounded like the Tauren Sunwalker, he thought as he tore in half a Fel imp who was casting a fire spell on him. Maiev was not too far away, dealing with a couple of fel beasts, he knew well enough the Warden was as stubborn as he was and wouldn't die to some lowly demon scums.

"Just destroy the portals! Can't you see my hands are full right now?!" He heard Selina yell at her group, sounding out of breath. "Demon hunter, get the two in the back!" Another female voice had shouted, probably the Druid was trying to give orders to his student. A few tremors shook the floor; Illidan was fighting an Inquisitor before it could open any more portals to summon more forces into the place. An Aranasi tried to ambush him from behind, but his senses were too powerful so he fend himself by stretching his wings pushing away the fiend before finishing it off.

"Oh my goddess, get behind the Aegis!" He heard Selina shout terrified, her voice kind of breaking, as another tremor shook the floor once again, but this time more violently. He felt demonic energies pour outside the room, but he wasn't able to join them at that moment. His eyeless sockets followed Maiev's figure, she too had seemed to notice what was going on and was trying to peek inside the room from where they were fighting. Using his spectral vision, he saw Selina in a corner of the room trying to interrupt the Fel Lord's casting as the rest of the group hid behind the Aegis's divine shield. When the spell was done –or gotten interrupted- the Druid had casted a powerful spell that killed the demonic lord.

As its corpse fell loudly on the ground, fel bats started entering the room from the broken windows, a whole army of them. Illidan left Maiev alone to deal with the rest of the demons who were behind them, and joined the upper floor. "I will hold the skies. See to the Aegis!" He told them, as he flew outside cutting and slicing the fel bats that were spiting fel fire inside the building.

The swarm of fel bats was bigger than he had imagined, surrounding him and mindlessly throwing themselves on him. Then he felt it, Mephistroth's foul aura engulfing the place. Those fel bats were but a distraction, so that he could easily defeat the mortals -and his trainee- and to destroy the ancient artifact. Suddenly a voice broke into his thoughts. We can't hold him off… too strong…we need help! Please come back…

In his surprise he realized that voice belonged to Selina, she sounded worried, he didn't really know how she managed to get into such a contact with him, but he gave it no further thought as he angrily used his eye beam to evaporate the remaining fel bats and flew back into the room. It was damaged with columns of fel energy and the ground polluted with miasma. Mephistroth like the coward he was, had hidden into the shadows and attacked them relentlessly from there.

"To me heroes! Shield me with the Aegis while I tear this dreadlord from the shadows!" He commanded them as he started casting a spell. The demon could stand zero chances against him, but for his spell to be fully successful he needed protection by the titanforged shield.

Images of the Demon appeared in several corners of the room and began attacking Illidan with shadow spells. Selina had raised the Aegis with her right hand to shield Illidan, and with her other free hand she was holding the undead priestess close to her protecting her as well, having dismissed her weapon. He noticed she wasn't wearing her helmet, a few cuts and bruises covered her face and a small trail of blood emitted from her right eyebrow.

He was almost done completing his spell, the rest of the group had gone to assist him by destroying the mirror images that were targeting him, Selina guarding him like a sentinel; he had never seen her so serious and so focused before, maybe she wasn't that stupid.

"There is nowhere left to run, Demon!" Illidan shouted and a wave of arcane energy filled the room, revealing the Demon and seriously damaging him. "Run? Fool! I have led you to the slaughter!" Mephistroth yelled back as he laughed maliciously.

"You who carried the Aegis, aren't you tired stealing people's power?! Your brother has been of an amazing assistance to us, he is a true wonder! I'd have thought of you to be stronger, however you are but a worm!" The Nathrezim yelled at Selina. "Don't listen to his lies!" Illidan yelled at her as he attacked with his warglaives the demon. "Lies? You really think the Keyblade would choose such a foolish creature for a wielder? You are a fraud!" The demon kept saying.

Selina had dropped the aegis on the floor, staring at her shoes, her fists closed tightly. "Don't listen to him my dear child! Your light shines brightly!" Adatin shouted deflecting an attack.

"My…brother…?" Her voice cracked. Without her noticing, some demons had entered the room since Maiev couldn't keep them all back by herself.

"I can take you to him! If you only handed us the Aegis!" Mephistroth said as he kept attacking the rest of the group.

Selina stepped forward, walking closer to the enormous figure of the Demon. He smirked, surely the girl would give in. Selina's teeth clenched, a bit more and she'd have cracked a tooth or two.

"How dare you speak of MY brother!" She screamed angrily jumping in midair. Before anyone could react, Selina hit with her weapon the enemy's head with such force, the demon collapsed to the ground, cracking the floor, crushing his skull shuttering his teeth and breaking one of his horns. The creature's malformed head created a bloody puddle on the floor.

As she turned to look at the terrified demons that had entered the room, she yelled at them "Did you really dare to think you can put up with Selina, the Demon Slayer?!" At the sight of their fallen leader, the demons fell back, only to meet their end by Maiev's blade.

The Aegis of Aggramar activated, the room grew silent. A mirage of a female appeared above the Artifact. "What is this?" Illidan said, quite shocked by the sudden turn of events. "Can it be? The Guardian!" Maiev said running to the center of the room where the vision was.

"In ages past, this shield defended the young world soul against madness and corruption. Today, it serves those who fight for Azeroth. I am Aegwynn, Guardian of Tirisfal. I left behind this echo of my power as a safeguard in the event that the wards I put in place to protect the tomb failed. Indeed, I sense that the master of the Burning Legion now schemes to claim his prize.

Yet there is still hope. By anchoring the Pillars of Creation in the halls below, you will restore my wards and push back against the invaders. Then you must venture into the depths of the tomb and use the Eye of Aman'Thul to eradicate the Felstorm and sever the Legion's link to Azeroth. But the Pillars alone cannot bring the victory. Only a united army founded on strength and courage can conquer the Legion, and I pray you will have the aid of the Key by your side too.

When you and your allies are prepared for the final battle, my echo will return to aid you. The fate of Azeroth rests in your hands."

The echo had reached its conclusion and Maiev was the first to speak. "Khadgar will want to hear of this." "It seems preparations are in order." Illidan said in return.

~ Dungeon Spoilers Ended~

Selina approached Illidan, he was ready to ask her what was that all about, but she wouldn't let him speak, she looked extremely frustrated.

"Send me back." She demanded, coldly. Illidan never guessed this girl could look that gloomy, and from the short time he knew her, he never expected she would act like that. He sighed in defeat as he opened a portal back to the Broken Shore. The group entered the portal, clearly trying to grasp the vision of the Guardian they had witnessed, so did Maiev.

Only he stood alone in the room filled with demonic corpses. During Selina's outburst, he noticed something that made him feel uneasy. Usually the girl had a silver mantle surrounding her, like an aura. During that absurd outburst she had with Mephistroth, just for a second, as she had launched her attack, that aura had turned pitch black. The aura didn't emit any maliciousness, or demonic energy as he had feared when he saw it, just the opposite, it calmed him down, making him feel at peace, as if it was a holy light, but instead of white, it was black.

Thinking back at the old times, he recalled the priestesses of Elune singing about the Dark side of the Moon, a form Elune was said to have during war times, known as the Night Warrior. If Elune was trying to give him signs that She had not abandoned him, it was a tad too late. He decided it was time to stop thinking over religious matters, and meet with the Archmage, they had achieved a victory yes, but there were so many things they still had to do and prepare for. At least the Night elves had gotten back part of their precious temple, which could work as a morale boost for their army.

And the war in the Broken Shore waged on.

Author's Notes part 2.:

That's all for now guys! Notice that almost everything in the cathedral is canon, aside of the keyblades parts. Selina did a world quest before entering the main quest, and got noticed by Illidan!

They've improved! But the plot will grow thicker now. Illidan has seen a darker side of Selina, do you think this will make him like her more? Or less?

I promise you they will have more "alone time" ;D

Till next time, thank you all and take care!.
