Angel was shocked to see her there. She had known this woman since her teenage years when they met on a scouting mission in Quel'Thalas. After that one mission they went on some more together and became good friends. She had also been there when the paladin was struck down by that fiend, the tears in her eyes was the last thing she saw when her spirit was torn from her body. They met again years later in Archerus when they were both robbed of their free will, but she still recognised her. Her viciousness quickly became notorious in their ranks and she was considered the strongest death knight of Archerus in no time. Arthas had not been too happy when she broke free from his will after the debacle at Light's Hope. She herself, however had not been so lucky, she was summoned back to Northrend together with the other val'kyr and the Lich King's Lieutenants. Although she had not known her as a death knight for long, the story that she was in the group that brought down the tyrant was very plausible considering her strength. The crowd seemed to be looking at her as well, she seemed to have an impact on them as they all quieted down. ''What she told is true, Arthas is dead, now move it!'' she said harshly. People commenced to exit the inn, apparently quite intimidated by this person.
After everyone had left, the figure of Orcash also became visible, he was asleep under the table he sat at the night before, knocked out cold. The death knight walked up to them and looked at the winged elf, ''Angel, is that you?'' she asked looking into her eyes. ''Thank you Kitty,'' Angel hugged her "for freeing me from him," she finished. Aelana awkwardly watched them hug with a hint of sadness in her heart, "uhh, hi," she finally said. The death knight broke the hug to face the priestess "Kitty," she said "Kitty Dawnrunner,'' "Aelana Greenshadow," the living elf responded wondering what the story between the two of them was. "We met in Quel'Thalas years ago and became friends. She was with me when I was killed, the next time I saw her, she was a death knight.'' Angel shed some light on the situation. ''I see,'' the priestess said, ''I feel so sorry for you both'' she apologised.''Kitty looked at her, her stern attitude replaced by a much softer one, one she hadn't used too often since her death ''It's alright I guess, I made sure that bastard paid for what he did to us all, also we are technically still alive, I think,'' she looked a bit confused.
Aelana took a chair and sat down to the table under which Orcash was still snoring loudly. ''What do we do now?'' she asked, ''you know, with the Lich King dead.'' Angel sat down next to her ''I want to go home,'' she said, ''but I doubt they'd be happy to see me.'' ''Uhm,'' Aelana started, ''I think I have an idea to fix that.'' Angel looked at her hopefully, she would go to great ends to see her home again, ''how?'' she asked. ''Sylvanas,'' she answered in a single word smiling at the former paladin. ''I'm sure you heard of how she founded a faction of those who previously broke free from Arthas, with her ties to Silvermoon and the Horde I am sure she can use her influence to assure you can go home safely.''
The winged being stood up, ''How do we get there?'' ''I suppose we will have to go to Dalaran, there should be mages there who could give us passage to the Undercity,'' Kitty stepped in. ''Great, let's go.'' Angel couldn't wait to leave this continent and see the green forests of eversong again, or well, what's left of it. She regretted not being as strong back then as she was now, she would have preferred it the other way around, so she could have done something against the destruction of her home. ''Uhm, you are forgetting about my friend here,'' Aelana kicked Orcash gently with her sandals who woke up to that, ''Wake up you lazy peon, or do you intend to stay here?'' His hangover was clearly seen in his mood when he angrily asked what the hell she thought she was doing. ''We are going to Dalaran, are you coming with us?'' Aelana asked him. ''ugh, I guess so, I need to devour an entire mammoth first though, I am starving,'' he exaggerated. Aelana realised she hadn't eaten anything yet either so she agreed to eat something before leaving for the floating city.
