Our arrival in Silvermoon was almost perfect, unfortunately we didn't go by entirely unnoticed even though it was almost night. We arrived in the court of the sun. When we arrived, the area was empty save for two people, two male citizens were just leaving when they spotted us, they looked at us in shock and ran off into the city. Light knows what was going to happen after we were done here.

As we approached the bridge to Sunfury Spire I tried reading the guards' faces. They didn't exactly look surprised or any of that kind which in turn surprised me. I didn't get long to think about it as Lor'themar just left the building and walked into us.

"Angel," he looked at me in shock, "you are back so soon."

He looked behind me and became even more shocked.

"Lana'thel," he whispered.

"Is she-" he started.

"Yes, she is free as I expected."

"I cannot believe my eyes. Lana'thel, I am so glad to have you back with us."

He extended his arms and took her in a hug.

"It's good to see you too" she smiled slightly, "I heard you're our new leader now?"

"Not yours, Lana, you are free to go wherever you want. You made the ultimate sacrifice for us already I won't have you back in our armies now just because you are back."

Lana'thel became visibly upset and we didn't stay with Lor'themar for long. He handed us a handful of gold pieces from the treasury as thanks and loan for Shaestra since up until now she had been in duty as a farstrider. He had promoted her to captain after hearing she played key part in restoring Lana'thel's sanity and gave her absolute freedom just like he had given us.

He also made sure Lana'thel got something decent to wear. Beneath the spire was the royal armoury. It had several store rooms for different armour types, he let Lana choose whatever she wanted. They even had a section dedicated to cloth gear which is where Lana'thel had decided to go. 'Since I cannot wear full armour because of these things on my back' she had said. She decided on something that had closely resembled her old clothes, or so she said. She came out of room wearing a velvet and satin bustier in the colours of Silvermoon that was easy to put on so it didn't interfere with her wings. She wore leg gear that fit the bustier, colours of our capital elegantly reached the ground from her waist. I had to admit I would love to see Aelana in something like that.

When we walked outside and crossed to bridge again there were quite a few people in the court of the sun who hoped to get a glimpse of their fallen hero. At this hour however, I doubted people would be able to read her face, I hoped they couldn't because I knew she was unhappy. She did get quite a few bows from the citizens, though.

Since it was already dark outside we made our way to the same inn that we stayed in last time. The innkeeper was overjoyed when he saw us again and gave us a fair discount on the exact same room we had last time. Shaestra went straight to bed after dinner while Aelana stayed outside with Lana'thel and me for a bit. I sat down to the wall of the inn Aelana sat down and leaned against me. Lana'thel sat down as well. I decided to ask her what was wrong seeing as she still seemed down.

"I don't know what to do. All my life I have been fighting, Amani trolls at first and then scourge. Now that I am relieved of my duties, I feel... empty," she replied honestly.

Aelana put an arm around her, "I'm sorry Lana, but see this as an opportunity to see for yourself what you have been fighting for. And if that doesn't work, remember that peace doesn't last long in this world. Who knows when we need to come into action again."

I was surprised how quick she made that up and even more surprised by the truth in her words. The Lich King may be dead but his creator, the burning legion was still a force to be reckoned with, it was only a matter of time before they would invade this world as they had invaded so many others.

"She is right, I fear it won't be long before we need to fight for this world."

She nodded. "I guess you're right."

"Just promise me you will stand with us when that day comes."

"I will."

Aelana sat down between my legs, obviously craving my affection. I placed my arms around her and kissed her neck tenderly, making sure she was feeling the love I harboured for her. Lana'thel watched as I could feel Aelana slowly falling asleep. I didn't bother bringing her to bed, I was in a far too comfortable position for that. Getting up would only ruin that, so I just made sure my priestess would be warm enough.

Lana'thel smiled.

"I love to watch the two of you like this, you know," she said.

"Why is that?"

"You're just so sweet to her, It makes me happy. I don't know why."

"Awww, you want a hug too? Come here then."

I gestured her to come sit next to me with my left hand.

"I am fine, thank you very much."

"You want me to get Shaestra here? I'm sure she won't mind being awoken to fall asleep in your arms," I asked sarcastically.

I decided to look her way when she didn't respond after a while. She turned her head and looked away.

"Lana'thel?"

Her face became red.

"Oh, you got to be kidding me. You like her don't you?"

She nodded embarrassedly.

"Since when?"

"I don't know, she caught my eye in the citadel already but I guess I really started to feel things when she freed my mind."

I didn't blame her, I had that feeling for Shaestra as well once. Her starting to feel things after she was saved by her seemed very familiar to me, though. Too familiar.

"What should I do?" she asked me.

"I don't know," I said honestly. "Try to get to know what she feels for you I guess."

"Maybe, yes."

She did sit down next to me eventually and rested her head against my shoulder.

"Do you mind me doing this?" she whispered after a while.

"No, it's okay, I understand, as long as you don't end up kissing me, I doubt Aelana would like that."

She laughed softly.

"Don't worry, I won't."

And so we sat for hours, waiting for morning to make its appearance. It wasn't so boring with Lana'thel around, I was glad to have her with us. It gave me someone to talk to when the others were asleep. Although we didn't talk a whole lot, her company alone was a means against boredom in itself. Aelana was still sleeping soundly in my arms and wings, a lovely smile adorned her face, she was clearly content. She suddenly moaned loudly followed by her calling my name, which amused Lana'thel.

"I think I know what she is dreaming about," she smirked.

"Oh, I would not know," I answered sarcastically with a small smile on my face.

"How deep is your relationship anyway?" she asked.

"Oh, we have made love if that is what you want to know, but we didn't get to do it much. I guess she is catching up now," I looked at Aelana who was moaning ever so softly every now and then.

She smiled broadly. "Certainly looks that way."

"Hmmm, I would love to be in there," I smirked.

"I bet," Lana'thel giggled.

It was pretty awkward to sit there with Aelana all wrapped up when the first citizens started their day at the Bazaar. Shaestra and Nora were among them, eager to start a new day much too early for my liking.

"Just let Aelana sleep until it's a proper time to get up, we don't even know where we go next," I told her

With that, she went to do some shopping in the area with the gold she earned the day before.

"You're right, where do we go next?" Lana'thel wondered aloud.

"Are you sticking with Aelana and me then?" I frowned.

"Well, If you don't mind, I would certainly like to have someone to talk to at night too, you know? Besides, I think Shaestra will stick around with you too so..."

"It's okay. You're right, it is really nice to have someone to get you through the night."

Shaestra returned a few hours later, she showed up in a new outfit of which I am sure that it caught Lana'thel's attention. She wore a green leather camouflage tunic that accentuated her form well. Sewed on the sleeves were magically preserved leaves adding extra stealth when in forest-like areas. Her leggings were mud brown with a very diverse texture so that it blended with the ground. I could only assume it had been quite expensive. It seemed Lana'thel was only focused on how perfectly it fit around Shaestra's well formed body. It took a poke in her side to stop her from staring. Shaestra noticed neither the poke nor the awkward staring as she was seemingly filled with glee in her new outfit.

"What do you think?" she said so enthusiastically that it woke Aelana up.

"I think you spent a small fortune on that."

"Oh, shut up," Lana'thel interjected, "I think it looks great functional as well."

"What's going on?" Aelana groggily asked.

"Look for yourself," I pointed at Shaestra.

Her eyes went wide.

"That looks amazing."

Lana'thel snickered, "I told you."

"Come to think of it, Angel, I want to do some shopping too!" Aelana became all excited.

"Yeah I was thinking the same, I could use something new too."

"Let's go together then!"

"Sure, why not."

We walked down the stairs leading to the inn, entering the Bazaar. As soon as we were out of range of Shaestra and Lana she whispered ne we should get some lingerie for me so I could stop sharing hers.

"Fair point."

"We need to do laundry too, I heard the goblins in the auction house have it included in their possible services as of late," Aelana stated, "for a fee of course."

"Of course, they will do anything for money. Let's take care of that first, shall we?"

She nodded. We walked to the centre of the Bazaar and found the goblin merchants outside the auction house. Aelana walked up to one of them and asked whether it was true that they provided laundry services.

"You're gonna have to talk to Tiny over there, he is the one who came up with such a ridiculous idea."

He pointed to a goblin that was very short of height. He was at least twenty centimetres shorter than the other which, in goblin terms, is a significant amount. The creature didn't even reach up to my hips. It didn't surprise me the other goblin gave him such a nickname. Aelana thanked him and we made our way to the small goblin.

His length was in contrast with his visible wealth. He wore golden rings on six of his ten fingers of which four had a colourful gemstone set in them. Around his wrists were several golden bracelets and around his neck a collection of expensive looking shiny necklaces.

"Excuse me, I heard you provide laundry services, is that correct?" Aelana asked.

"Yes madam, but it won't be free."

"Of course not, I was wondering how much you would charge us."

"For a pretty lady like you I will do it for five silver pieces."

"Seems fair to me. Angel do you mind picking up our laundry It should still be in the inn, Shaestra carried it with her."

"On it!"

I flew back to the inn and went inside the room we booked. Inside lay Shaestra's bow and quiver and two bags. I knew one of the bags was Aelana's, she had crafted it herself with her favourite colours, red, gold and blue. On it, she had stitched the emblem of Silvermoon. The other bag was Shaestra's. I took Aelana's bag as well as Shaestra's and went looking for her.

I found her at a table inside the inn together with Lana'thel And I wondered how I didn't see her when I came in.

"Shaestra, Aelana and I will have our laundry done, should I take yours as well?"

"If you would do that, yes please."

I nodded, left the inn and flew to Aelana and the goblin.

"I have brought a friend's laundry too. I will pay double if you do hers too."

He nodded as he accepted the bags I gave him.

"I'm gonna need that payment now. You can pick up your stuff here in an hour."

Aelana handed him the ten silver pieces and took my hand as she led me through the bazaar.

"I know the perfect place to go, there's a shop at the end of the bazaar called "Keelen's Trustworthy Tailoring, I am sure he has what we are looking for."

"If you insist..."

We ended up in a fairly small building compared to the others on the bazaar. Behind a stone counter which held several tailoring supplies and a few patches of cloth stood a middle aged blood elven male in a purple robe. Apparently Aelana knew the guy so I let her do the talking while I was looking at some of the robes that were on display. One in particular caught my attention. It was a beautifully crafted robe of which red, green and gold were the main colours. The frontal area was mainly red with a golden lining where the transition to a dark shade of green began which was followed by another vertical golden line and then more red. The breast area was horizontally split in two colours, red for the top half and fel green for the bottom half. There was an open area below the breast area and above the waist area in which I could already see Aelana's belly button.

She had slowly walked up to me and was peeking over my shoulder as I was drooling at this robe.

"Do you like it?"

"Are you kidding me? Look at it Aelana!"

"It's beautiful."

"Ah, the Sunfire robe," Keelen stood next to me, "It truly is one of my masterpieces."

"What do you ask for it?" Aelana asked.

"Twenty gold pieces for a former apprentice seems fair to me."

Aelana nodded.

"It's fairly expensive for us but I think it's certainly worth it. We do need some, uhm... lingerie as well."

"For you both?"

I nodded at him.

He led us downstairs where he had a collection of bras on display as well as underwear for both males and females.

"I will be upstairs, if you need me, give me a shout. Make sure that you have your clothes on when you call me. Or don't."

He winked before he laughed and went back upstairs.

We just took some general underwear and would have done the same for bras was it not for the fact that Aelana found something that she just wanted me to get. She stumbled upon some bras that had angel-like wings flowing to the sides. She decided to take a few of those.

When we showed Keelen what we had picked he could not help but laugh at what Aelana had picked for me. After he finished laughing he told us what all of this would cost.

"That will be twenty four gold and forty silver pieces please."

Aelana counted the coins while Keelen bagged our stuff and handed the payment to him.

"Thank you for stopping by Aelana and do enjoy your new outfit."

"Oh, I sure will, and so will Angel I think."

We left the building.

"Now we need to find something for you," Aelana smiled.

"Yeah I kind of got ahead of myself when I said I wanted something new earlier. I can't wear much at all. My wings are in the way, plus wearing some nice plate armour will only make flying harder for me, besides I don't think physical attacks do much against me anyway."

She looked disappointed.

"I am afraid you're right. We should pick up our laundry now and then I suggest we look for a blacksmith maybe they can think of something."

"Alright."

Tiny was already waiting for us. He handed us the two bags, a quick glance inside revealed that he had nicely folded everything as well. I gave him another ten silver for his efforts. I did wonder how he got the clothes to dry so fast after washing them. Must have been one of those intricate goblin inventions.

We paid the rent for a second night and left the bags in our room. Then Aelana and I went looking for a blacksmith. After asking a guard for directions we found ourselves on Farstrider Square talking to a guy named Bemarrin.

"What exactly were you looking for?"

"Well I guess it would not have to be combat efficient, it should not interfere with my wings and it should not be too heavy."

"So, something like you have now?"

"I guess so, yes, but I would like something stylish."

"I got an idea," Aelana mentioned, "is it possible to make something she has now but the shape of wings?"

"That should not be too hard."

Guess where she got that idea from.

"Could you make it have a golden colour?" I asked.

"I can use pyrite if you want, it has the same colour, it's just much more common than gold and thus, cheaper."

"Sounds good, how long will it take and what will it cost?

It's not too hard to make, should be done within two hours if I start now, the price will be fifteen gold coins. But I will have to take some measurements first."

"Alright then."

He took some measuring tape, measured ne and wrote it down.

"Could you also make something to cover my lower areas?"

"Won't it be easier to use leather like you are right now?"

And so we ended up at a leatherworker who apparently had something that was just made for me. Or so he said. It was some kind of leather skirt. It looked like leather panties with a belt attached to it. On the belt were five square patches of leather that were riveted together. Two in the front which would cover the upper legs until halfway the knee and then three on the backside that reached just as far. The flaps were decorated with rivets that made a smaller square on the inside. It was pretty lightweight and looked fairly nice, better that what I had at least. It was on sale for five gold coins so we decided to get it. I started wearing it immediately.

We made our way to the blacksmith who was carefully hammering the armoured bustier into shape for me. After it was done he made the wings which he connected to the other piece with some kind of molten metal.

He connected some elastic bands to his creation so that it would be wearable. I took a moment to observe his handiwork while Aelana paid him his fifteen gold pieces which he accepted while sweat ran from his forehead.

"It was an honour to see you in action Bemarrin," I smiled.

"It was honour to create something for those who work so hard for our kind," he smiled back.

We made our way back to the inn. Shaestra and Lana'thel were just about to leave. Shaestra told me they were going to relax outside the city for a bit, closer to nature. We made our way upstairs where I prepared to put on one of the new bras we got and the shiny bustier when Aelana pounced on me from behind, making me land on the unused bed. She kissed me deeply when I turned around and didn't seem to stop there.

There we go, a really long chapter compared to the others, I hope I can get some reviews now :(
