I was still talking with Shaestra when Aelana woke up first. Morning had already passed and made room for the afternoon sun, which did not mean too much considering we were still in Northrend. She still had her eyes closed when she lifted her head and greeted me with a kiss.

"Good morning my Angel," she spoke softly.

"Good morning my priestess," I replied in an equally soft tone.

She cuddled up against me and kissed me again, much deeper this time, I felt her wanting for me which made things quite awkward as Shaestra was looking at us. When I finally managed to pull away from her Shaestra was giggling again.

"I'm sorry my love, we can't, not now."

"Awww, why not?"

"You two go ahead, I don't mind watching," Shaestra jested us both.

Finally, she opened her eyes to look at the huntress and gasped.

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

She looked so cute when she got red from embarrassment after she saw Shaestra.

"Ah come on, things were about to get spicy here.:"

She only made Aelana's embarrassment worse as she got even more red. I hugged her and let her regain her composure.

After that happened she almost immediately went over to Lana'thel who was asleep to my left. Shaestra had moved her earlier. Nora served as her cushion which she didn't seem to mind at all. Aelana stated that her injuries were healing nicely, she even looked at me after noticing that the cuts in here wings were vanished to which I nodded. She traced her fingers over Lana'thel's back when the former blood queen started shifting uneasily in her sleep. Nora awoke because of it and slowly walked off to Shaestra who was looking at Lana's movements. She suddenly cried out for help.

"What is happening to her?" Shaestra asked.

I hurried over, held her head still and pulled open an eyelid. A red glow full of fury greeted me and I knew this was wrong. I tried waking her up by shaking her vigorously but she would not wake up.

"This is no dream, Aelana, use your mind vision spell, what the hell is going on in there?"

Aelana panicked slightly but took a deep breath before placing her hands on Lana'thel's forehead and started casting her spell.

Aelana screamed out in pain before releasing her. She was out of breath and needed a moment to regain it.

"it's the Lich King," she took another deep breath, "he is in there fighting with her, but it doesn't feel right. You were right, this is not a normal nightmare, he is going to drive her to insanity!"

I thought. We had to get her out of there as soon as possible or our work may have been for naught after all.

"Aelana, send me in there!"

"What do you mean?" she panicked.

"Project me into her mind, can you do that?"

"I can't Angel I have never even heard of a spell like that."

"Then we both have to go, you will have to use your mind vision and I will ask the Light to help us."

"Get me in there too," Shaestra interjected.

I looked at her but before I could speak she continued.

"If the Lich King you will need all the help you can get, plus you said yourself that she was deep in his grasp, I wish to help her with all I have."

I didn't doubt her resolve for that matter but doubted whether she would be able to enter somebody's mind without the powers of the light.

"I don't know if that's possible. Do you know any healing spells?"

"You mean like my 'heal pet' spell?"

"Does it use holy magic?"

"A bit, yeah.

"That will have to work. Cast that on Lana'thel , you only have to make sure that it connects to her spirit when Aelana and I cast our spells."

She hurried over to us, Nora following.

"You stay here and guard us while we are gone, okay?" Shaestra quickly petted her cat.

"You ready, Aelana?"

"Yes."

"Shaestra go!"

She focused and her hands emitted a weak green light that entered Lana'thel's body.

"Now Aelana!"

We both cast our spells at the same time meeting Shaestra's magic before finding Lana'thel's spirit with our combined efforts. When that happened, the world around us stopped existing as we were pulled into her mind.

It was complete darkness that I found myself in. The same darkness that I had seen and felt before when we arrived in Lordaeron. That also meant 'he' was here. After a while I could feel Aelana's and Shaestra's presence as well. They appeared next to me as I tried to walk through the darkness.

"Where are we?" Shaestra asked.

"We are in Lana'thel's mind, and we need to make sure she wakes up before this darkness completely overwhelms her."

I could feel that Aelana was trying to locate Lana'thel herself, I was doing the same thing Trying to give us more time I used my energies to conjure white rays of light that emitted from my body. After looking for a while we located Lana'thel herself. She was in hand to hand combat with a figure that was brutally outmatching her. Her Quel'Delar would eventually fail to his Frostmourne and we knew it so we sprung to action. Aelana placed a protective shield on Lana and me while I drew my own sword and charged at the Lich King, one of the arrows that Shaestra had already fired flew past me as I did so.

"Who are you?" she asked when Arthas deflected one of my blows, laughing as he did so.

"You know us Lana, we are the ones who came to rescue you from this fiend's citadel."

He parried another one of my attacks, but one of Shaestra's arrows found its target, striking him in his chest area.

"You cannot rescue her, her soul is mine."

"No it's not, you bastard, she will be free."

Lana'thel hesitated and thought.

"You're Angel," she spoke quietly as I dodged a swing by jumping back.

"Wait, this isn't real, I am dreaming." She would have lost an arm had I not blasted her out of Frostmourne's way with a blast of holy light while she was hesitating. I was careful not to hurt her and jumped in front of her when Arthas made his way to her.

"Yes you are," I answered, "but this is real. You are not experiencing a normal nightmare. He is using the last bit of his mind that resides in yours to corrupt you."

"Smart girl, maybe I should take you back with her, I will have two whores all to myself," his dark voice echoed through us.

"She is mine, you son of a bitch!" Aelanas voice thundered into my head as a massive ball of Light hit Arthas in his face. It didn't seem to do much damage but it blinded him for valuable seconds. I slashed Heaven's Descent at him which the managed to block despite not seeing a thing.

It did leave him unbalanced, even if it was for just a second, it was enough for Shaestra to deliver the final blow from afar as an arrow found a gap in his helmet and pierced through his skull. Frostmourne fell from his hand and shattered into a thousand pieces before it hit the ground.

The veil of darkness was sucked into his body which literally imploded. Then, we were forced out of this plane of existence.

Before me lay Lana'thel who opened her eyes in shock. Sitting straight up she looked around her.

"It was real, wasn't it?" she asked scared.

I nodded.

"Where is he? Is he gone?"

I nodded again.

"By the sunwell, you're right. It's so quiet, HE is quiet" her eyes glistered.

"I never thought I would be free of him."

"You can thank Shaestra for wiping him from your mind, she finished him."

She looked at the huntress who was still clearly recovering from entering another person's mind. It was already a hard thing to pull off if you have the knowledge of it, even I had to use Aelana's help with it. if you weren't familiar with the ways of the light it would take its toll on you. Shaestra was extremely dizzy and didn't even try to hide it. She had tried to remain seating but fell flat on her back looking ready to vomit. Aelana just stared in front of her trying to regain composure, I noticed she was dizzy as well, but clearly not as much as Shaestra.

"If you want to thank her, I'd suggest waiting a bit, her mental strength Isn't as advanced as Aelana's or mine, these are the side effects," I pointed out Shaestra's situation.

"I- I..." She started tearing up.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome Lana," I smiled broadly at her as she was still shedding tears.

Once Shaestra managed to sot up again Lana'thel immediately went over to hug and thank her. I was glad to see the better version of Lana'thel here. It seems we was doing much better now that we had shattered the deep grasp that the Lich King held on her soul.

"I'm glad we were able to help you," Shaestra spoke as she still held her in a hug.

Aelana who had quietly sat down next to me watched them as she hugged me from the side.

I kissed her cheek before whispering we should go.

"It's almost evening, I assume you two are getting hungry aren't you?"

Just after I said that Nora came sprinting to us from the brush, immediately trying to get Shaestra's affection. She had a few feathers sticking to her mouth as well as some blood.

"Seems somebody got dinner already, we should get moving to Dalaran and get some for you as well."

"Angel?" Aelana whispered.

"What is it sweetie?" I whispered back.

"Could you carry me please? I don't think I will be able to walk that far."

"Anything for you Aelana."

I took her in my arms and lifted off, I didn't fly high, I merely hovered above the ground.

Shaestra looked at us as sighed as she stood up.

"It's not that far Shaestra," Aelana laughed.

"Not if you are getting carried by your girlfriend."

"Awww, you want to be carried too?" Lana'thel mocked Shaestra.

"Would you do that?"

"It's the least I can do."

"Then yes, please!"

Lana'thel smiled as she held Shaestra in the same way I held Aelana and started hovering next to me, her large bat like wings making significantly more noise than mine.

"We might as well make this quick then," I suggested.

Lana'thel nodded. Shaestra whistled Nora to follow as we departed for Dalaran. We managed to get to the ground base of Dalaran in minutes in what would have taken an hour otherwise. Nora did not seem to have problems keeping up but I do think she would be asleep for a long time very soon.

A few kirin tor mages were stationed further at the portal to the floating capital.

I sighed.

"Are we going to do this whole 'entering Dalaran with an undead' thing again?"

"I don't think it will be as bad now that they know of you."

"It's not me we're talking about Aelana..."

"I know, but I reckon they already know Lana'thel."

"I don't think that's a positive thing."

"I guess you're right, let's hope they are willing to listen then."

I looked at Lana.

"Please ignore the disgusted stares you are going to get, they are likely to remember you as another version of yourself."

She nodded and replied sadly, "I figured as much."

We approached the purple hooded figures and, as expected, they were all mobilised and ready to fling their spells at us. Their magic lighted up and illuminated the area around them as the sun was setting.

"What is the meaning of this?" one of them shouted, making us halt at a considerable distance from them.

"We're here to have dinner and make our way to Silvermoon City." Shaestra shouted back.

"Don't fool us, what is that vampire bitch doing with you?" The man from before shouted again.

"She broke free from the Lich King, we rescued her from his citadel and want to bring her home."

"If by 'home' you mean Silvermoon we will make a portal for you, you are not setting a single foot in Dalaran with her, anywhere else is none of our business."

"That's not a bad idea," I said, "although I don't really like this guy's attitude."

"Don't worry too much, Angel, if we get that portal we will be home in no time which is exactly what we wanted in the first place, " Aelana said calmly.

The man who barked at us sent one of his mages to us. He looked terrified when he arrived despite Lana'thel trying to make him feel a bit more comfortable by giving him a small smile. He obviously didn't trust our story and was scared for his life. He went to work and opened a portal to Silvermoon. It didn't take long, which was to be expected of a kirin tor member, all their members were top class. After the portal was opened he ran for his life back to his commander who started shouting at us again.

"You had better take that portal or we will take your statement from before as a lie and destroy her."

Lana'thel and I both knew that was not going to happen. Even though they were kirin tor mages, they would stand no chance against her, or me for that sake. If we wanted them dead, they would already be dead by now. Not wanting to get such a kind of reputation though, and because their portal only helped us, we accepted the terms and entered the portal.
