It was early morning when I heard the knocking close down the hallway. The sun was coming through my window onto my face, warming it, making it very soothing to wake up to. I arose and went over to my door and opened it. I saw my father awakening Varian.
I listened carefully to my father as he said, "Come young Prince, there is much to be done."
Varian went back into his room and put on the clothes he was provided with. I walked out of my room almost the same time he did and approached him saying, "What's going on?"
"I'm the Price of Stormwind, I have duties to my people," he said with a frown on his face. I could tell that he was still affected by the recent events.
Varian went down the stairway as I followed behind. We both went into the throne room and Varian approached my uncle. They mumbled some things between each other.
My father spoke, "Varian, I apologize that this is so soon, but we need to move forward. With the help of Auduin and the rest of the surviving miltia, combined with my own, we need to fortify our defenses and prepare for an attack. This attack may be from us, or an attack on our city. Whatever it may be, we need a plan."
Varian surprisingly spoke up, "Your highness, I appreciate your hospitality, but you are right. It is time to move forward. I have a proposal. The reason we fell so easily, is because we were betrayed by one of our own, Garona Halforcen. This time, if they have any plans to attack us now, they won't have that advantage. These walls are much stronger than those of the now decimated Stormwind. We now have the advantage, and it's time to drive the orcs back into the Dark Portal. We need to rally the survivors of Stormwind, and the army of Lordaeron, and attempt to ensure we have a strong powerful plan with a good leader. I propose Lord Auduin lead the army. He is more qualified than anyone in Eastern Kingdoms. We need scouts posted all over the countryside to ensure the Orcish Horde doesn't slip by without us knowing. We need to show them they were aren't going down without a fight. Not only will we surprise them with our couragous men, we will drive them back and win this newly uprisen war."
The whole room was staring at the young prince. No one expected such bold words from a young boy. That day, he earned much respect from the advisors of Lordaeron, including the great King Terenes.
After the dramatic pause had ended, King Terenes spoke, "I respect your request greatly, and ask that you know, all of this will happen. You are a wise boy." He turns to his advisor and says, "draw out the battle plan to the point of what Prince Varian just said. It is time to act."
