A Blind Fate

Back in the days of the High Elves Run of Power, Before The Fall To Blood Elves.

There was many Rangers Who were talented, but None like Roza Highcorner.

But She Would Say Otherwise, When it comes To a hunter Known by many Names.

He Held Many Titles, Like The Bounty Hunter, The Beast Tamer, The Survival Master.

But Many Only Knew Him By Aelos Highcorner, Roza's Husband.

He was very Cocky, Almost too cocky for he's own good, Yet He had Respect

Because They All Knew, How Skilled He Was With a Long-Range Weapon.

He and Roza were so close, Some would say it was meant to be.

But in the End, It was that Love that Cost Aelos Highcorner the Most.

For During the Third War, in the Heat of Battle back to back with Roza.

Against The Death Knight Arthas, And His Army Of Forsaken.

They Were Wiping Out Most Of His Army, until till he joined the fight.

He came out of no where, and started killing High Elf one by one.

Finally he got to her, and he grabbed her by he throat.

In hopes to save her Aelos Shot off one last Explosive Shot.

Only for Arthas's Sword Frostmourne, to Reflect the shot back at him.

Aelos face in shock as it blew up in his face, knocking him to the ground.

He tried to get up, and look around, but he quickly realized he couldn't see.

He could only sit there, and listen as Arthas riped her soul from her body.

He fainted from his wounds, later waking up back in he's room.

He walked out of his room, slowly feeling his way around.

Asking everyone he could where Roza was, only to find out she was dead.

It hurt him so bad that he cast himself out, shamed by the fact he couldn't save her.

Shamed by the fact he was now blind, it was to much for him to handle.

So he heads out into the jungles of Azeroth, to hide from his failure.

He went by un-noticed for the longest time, just how he wanted it.

Till he got to Azshara, where he met a man who would change his life.

His name was Leo The Blind, a Blinded Rogue who trained in Azshara all his life.

He noticed Aelos walking around, tripping, falling, bumping into trees, and rocks.

He called out to Aelos. "Young Hunter you seem like you could use a hand"

Aelos didn't want anything to do with him, he just wanted to get away from this world.

Aelos fell once again, but this time Leo picked him up.

"where are you headed so quickly young one" a Curious Leo asked.

Aelos stopped, "why do you care? I'm just a blind man to you."

Leo laughs at Aelos "even if you are blind, not like I could noticed since I am blind too."

Aelos held he's head low, "i'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude sir."

Leo turned Aelos head towards him "don't be sorry, not like you could know either."

Aelos lend up against a tree, saying nothing at all just listening to Leo.

Leo grabs Aelos hand "i can tell you used to be a hunter, what would you be doing in a place like this?."

Aelos just stood there with nothing to say

"Guessing you don't wanna speak of it?"

"It's better left unspoken" Aelos said with much sadness in he's voice

"Well I hate to see such a young hunter quit so easily, how about I show you how to live blind?"

Aelos head shot up like a bullet out of a gun, "you could teach me how?"

Leo smiled at Aelos "follow me, and I will show you how to regain your path young one."

Aelos followed him closely, and Leo started to train him right away.

Years and years passed by while Leo pushed, and Pushed Aelos to learn to not only be his normal self again, but also to hunt again.

Finally after so much time has passed, Aelos training was done.

Before Aelos left, Leo gave him a set of twin blades, telling him to lock them until needed.

Aelos left Leo to start path back to Redemption, but when he made his way back home.

He would soon find out, that a new leader is over the newly called Blood elves.

And that Slyvana an old friend, who he thought was long gone, was alive yet still very much dead.

He was so glad when he heard the news, he left out as soon as he could for under city to see her.

When he got there, he done everything in he's power to get a meeting with her.

Finally after a long wait, he came Face to Face with he's old friend.

When she seen him, memories came back to her of their times together.

"Aelos can it be your alive?!" she ran to him to hug him

for the first time in a long time he smiled. "i missed you sylvanas"

she smiled back "it is so good to see your face again Aelos"

his smile faded "i wish I could say the same thing"

she looked at him confused, only to realize he was blind, and couldn't see her face.

"what How did this happen to you?" she asked him

he bowed his head "during the battle, I shot an arrow that was reflected, and cost me my sight"

her Anger grew quickly "That bastard Arthas cost us so much"

than out of no where Aelos dropped to one knee, "i know I am a blood elf"

"but I can not take orders from anyone, but you, so if you will have me, I would be honored to be your new dark ranger."

she picks him up, and hands him a new bow. "you are no longer the Aelos I once knew"

he nods his head "you are right, I am no longer Aelos Highcorner, I am now Aelos The Blind."

She smiled, and nod her head towards him, And as he starts to walk away, she stops him.

"Aelos, I have to tell you tho, I heard rumors about your wife, she still might be alive."

He stopped in he's track, and waited for her to finish.

"But, she might not remember you for." She froze for a moment.

He turned around to her, "Why not? What did those monsters do to her?"

He tightens his grip on the bow, "The rumors say, They turned her into a Death Knight now."

He turned back around, "Than, I will make it my quest to find her."
He walks off to start he's new quest, To find his wife, and his life again.
