Soul Gem: Chapter 2 – Dark Fury
"So... the Night Elves already know about the gem." The charming voice of Azshara from the Legion echoed in their camp. With the two body guards, Azshara walked around them, and studied every one of them. "We wouldn't make them wait."
When breathing hard, the one of the guards spoke, "I brought the original maker of the gem, my queen."
"Let them in." She sat down in the furnished rocks near her.
The metallic door opened, and the creator of the gem appeared.
"My pleasure, my queen." He said, and bowed.
She looked at him. "Since you were new here, let yourself introduce in front of me." Azshara said, while fixing her necklace.
"I am Termin Darroth, my queen." He holds his chest. "I was the creator of the gem."
Azshara asked. "May I see the gem?"
"Of course, my queen."
Termin looked to his pocket, showed the gem. It was a shiny purple gem that it measured like the fists closed.
"How do you create this gem? What is the big purpose of it?" She made his voice slow. "And.. explain why you want to serve us."
"Yes, I was the creator, but the one who controls this gem is not me. I created them by studying demonic arts just like the plague orcs in the previous times. I was once a spellcaster, yet the shape of my spells were being different after I learn it. I have made a shape of a gem, which I didn't expected it would be a trapping gem." He bowed his head, and spoke with anger. "My father which is a Night Elf was killed before my eyes when he had done something that abide the rules of the clan. He was only called to have himself prison, but in the end he was sentenced to the death.."
"Want revenge?" Azshara asked, while she saw his fist closing from remembering his past. "Welcome home, dear Termin. I mean, 'Welcome to our home.'"
Termin looked at him, and laughed slightly. "Thank you, my queen."
"Who's the controller of the gem?" She stood up, and have a gently touch to the gem. She gasped, and smiled. "It was a slimy gem, but I feel the sensation of it."
He smiled at the queen. "Vondt Vendivel. He was a dragon that can able to transform himself into a druid, a tauren, troll, orc, or any race.."
Azshara applauded. "It's interesting to meet him."
"It will be, my queen. You will be amazed to him, I ensure that."
"Where is he?"
"He's starting to hunt a new body to replace their soul near the Night Elves' camp."
.-'*^*'-.-'*^*'-.-'*^*'-.-'*^*'-.
Tyrande was still looking and caring for Illidan who was still exhausted, that he was fainted again after their talk with Verbamin.
She stood up, after she sat down beside Illidan, and went outside to capture the fresh air of the night.
She walked through the river, and had a touch with her fingers. She saw her own face in the river, worried still on the situation that they currently faced.
Such an experience. Tyrande whispered to herself.
When she was still looking to a river that reflects the shape of the moon, she noticed that somebody tapped her shoulder.
"Tyrande," Illidan slowly said, "You should go to rest. I could take care of myself."
She stood up, rubbing her hand, and smiled at him, "You're awake."
"Of course, I will, and always will." He cupped his hand at her cheeks, when he noticed that her face was tired, and exhausted.
She just nodded.
Illidan looked at above, amazed at the shine of the moon.
He asked Tyrande, "Would you care for a walk?"
She remembered their childhood days. She was always asked for a walk around their camp, especially Illidan. She refused one of it, but surely, from now on, she couldn't deny it.
"It's okay." She smiled, starting to think a topic that she could talk with him while walking.
.-'*^*'-.-'*^*'-.-'*^*'-.-'*^*'-.
"An immediate action.." Azshara smiled and laughed slightly. "That 'Vondt' was a trusted one, is he?"
"He really is, my queen."
Azshara placed her hands at her waist. "This would be really our victory!"
The evil side of Termin was interrupted with a call to him.
"Termin Darroth…"
"Vondt!" He hissed, heard his voice.
"Be ready for a new soul to replace with my new victim." He laughed after he said it.
Termin smiled. "I will."
"Is that Vondt, Termin?" Azshara asked.
"Yes, my queen."
"What did he said to you?"
"He had found a new victim to trap at the gem."
.-'*^*'-.-'*^*'-.-'*^*'-.-'*^*'-.
Tyrande found herself speechless when she was walking around the camp with Illidan. But when Illidan will start his topic, it would be no problem to her. She was happy to hear the goodness of Illidan's side.
"When I was still younger, you don't know that my parents were strict when I am going to fight with my brother." Illidan laughed slightly when he remembered it. "I was unable to move on until I say sorry to them."
"I'm glad to hear that." After her silence, she finally spoke.
Looking at Tyrande, Illidan held her hand. "Why are you so silent, Tyrande?"
"You see, you have enjoyed yourself by telling me something. I am unable to stop you when I heard you were telling your stories, especially you were younger." She smiled back, holding back to his hand.
"I like to remember them back." Illidan looked at above, "I saw myself from being younger than my present self."
Tyrande can't say anything. Yes, it wasn't easy to grow up when you can't leave behind your younger self. But of course, we are getting old.
"Tyrande," Illidan faced her, holding her both hands, "And when getting old with you.. is what I have wanted."
Tyrande smiled, but she knows his confessions to her when the Stormrage brothers started to love her towards each other.
Tyrande hugged him. "And that's what I wanted to remember always."
"Tyrande –" Illidan felt that his chest were getting heavier. "Aurgh.. What is this.. feeling…"
At the back of Illidan, he was touching his back, absorbing powers and energy through his powerful hands.
"Illidan?" Tyrande asked, while noticing the person who was in his back. "What are you doing?"
"I…" The dragon said, "..Was absorbing his soul."
"Who are you?" While the dragon was pulling Illidan and was going far from her, Tyrande hissed. "How did you enter here?"
"I.. am.. the Dark Fury."
"Dark Fury?" Tyrande whispered his name.
"Vondt Vendivel, the Dark Fury." The dragon was absorbing more of Illidan's soul, and looked at Tyrande. "You will be the next."
"Let go of Illidan!" She shouted, but it doesn't work. She couldn't do something, even she was the one who will be victim of his absorbing soul powers.
"I will, High Priestess." He said, laughed, while he was still absorbing.
"Don't you dare to use my title for this manner!" She shouted.
"I will after this." He simply said. He laughed when he successfully done his 'job'. "It's done! It's done!"
Tyrande looked worrily at Illidan, when he was dropped in the ground. I must do something!
But she couldn't.
"Farewell, High Priestess. I don't need your lover again. You could have him now." He laughed loudly, and transformed into a druid, "I'll be back… soon."
And he faded.
Tyrande run through where Illidan is. She was shaking her hand at his shoulder, "Illidan, are you okay?"
"I.. am okay… you little one." The demonic voice was echoing Tyrande's ears.
When she heard his voice, she noticed that it wasn't Illidan's voice. "You were not Illidan!"
"I am surely not, little one." He stood up, and holds her chin. "Would you grow up with me?"
"Don't call me a little one! And.." Remembering the previous situation, "Illidan was the only one who could grow up with me!"
He ignored her argument with her. "I am proud to be alive again…"
"Get back his own soul!"
"You're too persistent, little one."
When Tyrande noticed he was walking, she asked, "What are you going to do with Illidan's body?"
"Harm and death." He laughed, as seeing him laughing with Illidan's body. "His soul was trapped in a gem."
"What gem?"
"The Soul Gem." He went in front of her, and pointed her neck with Illidan's moonblade. "How didn't you know it, little one?"
"I don't care! I need to get back Illidan's soul! "
"Illidan.. His name is Illidan?" He laughed. "If this body will be dead, still, he couldn't go back! If his soul will be trapped forever and replenished, he couldn't still go back!" He changed his tone. "If you really want to get back this Illidan's soul, defeat the Legion. Replenishing time of the gem is 30 days. After of it, his soul will be forever lost, and turn into a demon one."
"What?" Tyrande couldn't think of something more than defeating Legion with all of her might. "That Vondt who was called the Dark Fury…"
"He is the one controlling the gem." He smiled at her, with his eyes, no, using Illidan's amber eyes, opening. "What is this band?" Holding the band at his eyes, removed, and threw it. "Amazing. This eyes.."
"It was a gift from him!" She hissed, getting the band that he threw. Illidan..
"I will forever use this amazing eyes.. How adorable!" Moving his hand, he was amazed. "What do you call with this weapon?"
"Don't you dare to throw those moonblades! –"
"Moonblades? How amazing!" But he removed those moonblades at his hand, and threw it. "But I don't need that! I have my claws to fight!"
Tyrande whispered, murmured a prayer to Elune. She was given a shield that Elune could protect her. Using Illidan's moonblade, she would like to kill him… no, it would harm Illidan's body. What should I do? Answer me!
"What are you going to do? To kill me? Your Illidan would be killed, not my own!"
He rushed towards Tyrande, "Before you will do it, I'll kill you first."
His eyes turned into a white glow, absorbing those amber eyes. He raised his hand, and ready to mark Tyrande a wound from a sharp claws.
No!
"Tyrande, move out!" A person who shouted to her makes her relieved.
"Malfurion!" She run towards him, and murmured a prayer.
"A savior?" He laughed, moving his claws harder. "Okay then, time to kill some with the others."
"How dare you to be born alive using my brother's body! –"
"Your brother?" He reminisced, putting his hand at his chin. "This Illidan was your brother, this little one's childhood friend.. you two were childhood friends, too?"
"It's nothing on your business." Malfurion said it angrily.
.-'*^*'-.-'*^*'-.-'*^*'-.-'*^*'-.
"I'm sure the victim was a legendary one, who deserved to be a leader in every counterpart." Termin laughed while he had a drink of wine with their queen at the camp. They gather at the rounded stone table where it was a recreational gathering of the Legion.
"Surely it is." She sat down, raising her wine.
When Termin noticed the gem that has been placed in the center of the table had been glowed, he amazed.
"This gem that glows means… the first victim was here." He smiled, had touched the gem gently.
"Oh, really? Can I see who that victim is?"
The metallic door slammed, and they were bit interrupted at their talk, looking at the dragon who opened it.
"Vondt!" Termin hissed, stood up, and walk towards him. "You're finally here."
He smiled. "Indeed. I love my own flesh that is irreplaceable."
"Now join us, and let's have a talk with this victim."
They walked together towards the group, and they have their own taste for the wine.
"The legendary Night Elf who was called Illidan Stormrage… he was pretty strong. But he couldn't able to move when I am absorbing his soul." He laughed, "And while the replaced soul at his body enjoys using that Illidan's body, he could do anything just to harm his body, and of course, to kill somebody that tastes his flesh."
"I remember that handsome Night Elf." Azshara smiled, and continued, "He was once a part of us." She exhaled, "And I remember the goblins' creation, the dragon... He defeated it with all of his might."
"Oh really, my queen?" He laughed, and looked at Vondt. "Who's with him when you were there?"
"The High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind… I heard that they are childhood friends." He had sip a bit of wine, and looked at Termin.
"They are." Azshara answered. "That Illidan had a brother, which named Malfurion Stormrage. Those three were taught for many ways."
"What did they learned? Trapping souls, too?"
They all laughed loudly.
.-'*^*'-.-'*^*'-.-'*^*'-.-'*^*'-.
"We must hurry to take an action! Let's advance our waves… as best that we could." Malfurion let take out of his angry self. "If I could defeat that Dark Fury in my own…"
"Don't do that!" Tyrande hissed, but made her voice slowly. "Let's fight together… Night Elves.."
"Ssh. Tyrande, calm down. We have still our own time. For now, we need rest –"
"But.. How about Illidan?"
"We can't do something to prevent that soul that had been replaced from Illidan. But we wouldn't leave that matter." He bowed his head, and let his fists closed tightly. "I would defeat those who would harm my brother's body and soul.."
Tyrande looked at him worrily.
"What I am worrying about is.. not only Illidan would be the one who will be trapped."
.. And were going through effort to get the gem and turn back the souls that have been suddenly trapped.

END OF CHAPTER
Soul Gem – Chapter 3: Sundering Rage | upcoming
OC's:
Termin Darroth – The creator of the Soul Gem; he was once a Night Elf and absorb the power of one of Sargeras's trusted sorcerer after he died. He is a spellcaster, learned some of the demonic arts. He transformed into a half-Night Elf half-demon form. His mother doesn't trust him in times of learning some about the nature. He can't sleep one day, and his mind changes. He go through the village of the undead and study them instead from the one who had been not for him.
Vondt Vendivel – Before the dragons exist, and have fought the strongest creatures or races, Termin was already looking for a dragon that he could replace the soul from his Gem. He wasn't expecting that after he created the gem, there was already a soul that could transform any bodies into other creatures. He had found a dragon that was in pain, and died. He touched his Gem, and transferred the soul from the dragon's body. He was once asked the dragon/soul who is he/she, and he named himself Vondt Vendivel. The permanent body of Vondt's soul perfectly fits him. He could able to transform into other creatures, and that's familiar with him. After he exist, he followed Termin, and known himself as a Dark Fury when the Troll clan knows about him transforming himself as another creature.

I forced myself a bit to conclude and give info first the gem before the other situations when it was just focus now on Illidan's experience. And.. the demonic soul that have been already in his body, was not really a killer or something that I show it. It was like, he was the one who could answer their problem… hahaha.
I promised to include Taurens and Dreanei, but I was focused on giving info first for the gem. Maybe this chap. 3, they will be featured. Waaaaah, my head spins when I just turn back with the conversations of Illidan's replaced soul and Tyrande. Bang!
Read&Review, please! Hope you like it, and see you on the next chapt!
