Alleria returns to the coast where she will find Turalyon and Alexandros, departing from Theramore Isles with a large platoon for Alexandros to travel to the north, to the ancient forests of Ashenvale while Turalyon will travel to the wilds, going after this weapon that Medivh told him about, he will travel alone to the wilds to find this rare sword to use against the dark lord himself if he ever comes. Before Turalyon could travel to the north, he was force to talk to Alleria alone, he was force to tell her about what happen to their son Arator who died in Stormwind with everyone else who fought there. She was devastated, she fell on her knees crying while Turalyon comfort her for a time, with her hurt she was unable to join Alexandros to the north however after an hour of getting their troops ready for a long march, Alleria would return to him like nothing happened, still devastated but after what happen she really wanted to stay close to Turalyon in case something bad happens to him out there.

"It's decided; Alexandros will go to the north to see if we can find some allies up there. Alleria will join you to the north Alexandros.'

"Hold on Turalyon, I'm coming with you to the west." Alleria intervenes "I'm not letting you go alone out there."

"I will be fine Alleria, go with Alexandros."

Medivh returns as a crow but when he landed on the ground he made a quick return to human again. "Your beloved will be safe Alleria, he will not go alone out there. I will guide him to the sword."

"Alleria I need you to go with Alexandros." He moves both hands to her shoulders when he got closer to her. "I know your still devastated after what you heard, but we need help from the night elves of Ashenvale. Go and call for their help Alleria, please."

"….." She looks away from Turalyon "Just promise me you will be ok."

Turalyon moved his right hand to her chin, making her raise her head back up to him so he can move closer to give her a kiss, making the two close their eyes as they embrace this passion moment together until Turalyon moved his head back, having them both open their eyes slowly.

"I will be back for you Alleria, I promise."

And so the leaders split in two and they both travel to two locations, one to the north and the other to the west. With them gone they leave Theramore defenceless without a leader however someone else would take control of the operations here, he will make sure that if the enemy arrives then they will be ready to face them until their generals return from their quest.

Elsewhere on the oceans of Azeroth, almost twelve pirate ships occupied with a lot of Easterlings. All travelling together to the west with the leader Wulfrun standing at the front of the main ship that was in the center, looking out through the distance and waiting for a good fight against Theramore, finally being put into battle and will not fail the dark lord or else he will be scarred for life.

With Turalyon riding to the north with Medivh by his side, he did start to wonder about something from him. "You said you are the guardian Medivh? How come you haven't joined the Alliance on fighting the enemy?"

"My powers are not ready to fight the dark lord and the enemy." Medivh responds "All I can do is warn them what is to come, I have helped them as much as I can but I can only do little but slow the enemy down."

"So do you think this sword might have a chance to defeat this enemy?"

'Yes…"

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because once you wield that sword, you will command a powerful legion that can help us change the tide of war on our side, it will give us the chance to finally defeat Sauron and his horde."

"I've got a bad feeling about this…"

As they go galloping fast towards somewhere through the chasm, elsewhere the other company with Alexandros and Alleria was only travelling slow for the time but Alleria wanted to pick up the pace, it would take a few days' journey to Ashenvale but halfway they finally rested at this abandon ruins, a place that was once occupied by the centaurs but there all dead. They now use this place as a campsite for now, resting at night and preparing to move out first thing in the morning.

While the soldiers prepare some campfire, Alexandros was standing on one of the pillars of the ruins, looking over to the soldiers with his arms crossed but will turn his attention towards Alleria, seeing her having her back towards the camp. Alexandros decided to walk over to her while she stands there looking up at the sky, she would look forward when she heard someone coming behind her.

"What do you want Alexandros."

"You should probably get some rest; you haven't really rested after you returned from your journey to the west."

"I am fine." She turns her head slightly to the side "You should rest; I will take the first watch."

Alexandros hesitated at first as he was about to say something, finally saying it to her to finally get it over with. "You hate me don't you, for not saving Arator."

She quickly turned around and started walking closer to Alexandros "Don't you dare say his name, you could have gotten him out of there, instead you let him die out there while fighting the enemy."

"There was nothing I could have done Alleria… The enemy was everywhere and I was busy escorting the people on the ships –"

"Bullshit…" She turns back.

"I tried ok… I tried to get him out of there but I was too late, he wanted to save as many people but sadly he fell. He died fighting and protecting Stormwind, fighting for you and Turalyon."

"I didn't ask him to die out there, if he just…."

"If he just what?" Said taking a step closer to her "If he was here with you two? I heard that he stayed in Stormwind because he had to stay there. You two left him there eve –"

Alleria ended this conversation with a slap across his face, causing him to stop and turn his head to the side while the soldiers nearby just sit there watching this conversation between the two. After that she just walked past him and started walking away from him while he just stands there for the moment, looking straight forward then down to the ground while she walks off from the camp in a bad mood.

After what just happened out there, everyone started heading to sleep and so did Alexandros, not speaking to Alleria after what happened. Alleria was nearby but she stayed awake and kept to herself from the others, didn't want to show them that she is still hurt after what she heard from Arator.

Elsewhere back in the present in the lands of Lordaeron, the kingdom is in crisis and everything is falling apart after what happen out here. The king is dead and Arthas just heard this from a messenger, still in Dalaran with Jaina and the others, hearing that Baron Rivendare killed the king and is now creating two factions that is starting to attack Lordaeron on two fronts, Baron Rivendare and his human forces in Stratholme while the Gilneans will attack from the south, this will become a terrible fight and might involve with the devastation of Lordaeron.

Jaina would have to confront Arthas while he was alone in his chambers, standing by the balcony with his hands leaning against it, Jaina had to slowly close the door then slowly walks closer to Arthas while he just stands there having his head down. When Jaina got close to him, she slowly moves her hand to his shoulder gently to see what happens.

"…. Arthas..."

"My father murdered… I can't believe it…"

"Arthas…"

"This land has fallen to darkness that I can't save it from….. Uther is dead, most of the paladins are dead, the king is dead…" He lifts his hand up to make a fist then punches hard against the balcony "I am supposed to rule this land, I'm supposed to bring peace to this great kingdom and the rest of the kingdoms… How am I supposed to rule this kingdom if it's all in ruins!?"

"You can still save this kingdom Arthas." Jaina said silently "You have to keep moving, you can't quit now after everything we have done for this kingdom, your father maybe gone but there's a chance on still recovering from this." She ends up getting closer by wrapping her arms around him, pressing her body against his back. "I know you can still achieve everything you wanted, with me by your side…."

"… Jaina… I love you, but I wish to be alone for now…"

"….." She ends up letting go of him and moving backwards, she nods before turning back and walking out of there, allowing him to be at peace for the time being.

Jaina returns to the council as they begun to decide what to do since the capital is falling to chaos and the enemy is crushing Lordaeron from within. Jaina appeared right in the middle of the conversation and got some of the wizards to turn their attention to her.

"Jaina Proudmoore… How is the progress on prince Arthas?" One of the council members said to her

She just simply shakes her head "He's still in mourn after he heard about his father."

"Then we need to act now, if Arthas can't handle the defence in Lordaeron then all we could do now is retreat."

"Retreat?"

"If we act now we could stand a chance in fighting for another day."

"You mean abandon Lordaeron…" Antonidas said to the council member

"Have you seen what Lordaeron has become now when the war started? Of all the places in Azeroth, Lordaeron is suffering more than any of the kingdoms. If we don't do anything then this Rivendare will create an army in the north while the werewolves from Gilneas will attack from the south, it's a two-way front."

"Can we count on the high elves to help us?" Jaina looks to Antonidas

"The high elves are pretty much busy at this time, creating another vast army to march across Lordaeron. They have lost many elves in the past and a lot of them is still in Khaz Modan defending the dwarves against the enemy."

"What we need is another army!"

"There isn't anyone else out here who can save us from the dark forces of Sauron!"

"Everyone, calm down." Antonidas said "Please, we must be calm and think this through." He then turns to Jaina "Jaina…. At times like this we cannot protect Lordaeron in its weaker state, the enemy is coming and when they come, we may not have the strength to defeat them or push them back."

"So we give up and abandon Lordaeron to what is it right now?"

"That won't do any good." Someone said who was coming right through the council room behind Jaina.

She ends up turning towards him and so did the other council members to see who said that. "… Arthas?"

He came walking up to Jaina, looking at her for the moment then stood next to her while looking up at the council members. "If you think that we would abandon Lordaeron even though we are cornered and alone, well your wrong. We are going to defend Lordaeron to the death to protect our homeland against this."

"Arthas…"

"Prince Arthas it is good that you are back." Antonidas said "However at times like this, just how are we going to protect Lordaeron against Rivendare and the Worgen threat."

"It is possible to create a large force to fight against one of the enemies." Arthas said "But if we got help from a certain race, we could change the tide of war in our favour. If they join us then we have a chance, to defeat the enemies in Lordaeron and finally try to restore this land so we have a chance on defeating Sauron."

"And what race do you propose we ask for help?" One of the council members said with his arms crossed. "The dwarves? The elves? The dead?"

"No…" He walks closer past the center of the room looking up at that wizard. "We call the trolls for our help."

"…."

"The trolls!?"

"Are you mad!"

"There the enemy here!"

"The trolls have been an enemy for a long time now Arthas." Antonidas steps in to stop this uproar. "The high elves won't allow us to be in parley with the trolls, in case you forgotten. The trolls are part of the Horde; they are part of the enemy."

"That is true… But tell me…." He turns to Antonidas "If the trolls are the enemy, how come they haven't attacked us yet?"

"…."

"They have a few chances on attacking Quel'Thalas, attacking us while we were weak before. If they are part of Sauron's army then he would have used them by now, they would have joined his force and then we all would be dead by now."

"Are you really serious on going to meet with the trolls?"

"Yes."

"Arthas…" Jaina walks up to him. "You can't… If the trolls see you come –"

"It will be sudden death, yes." He looks back to her "But if we don't get any more help then it's all over for us." He looks back to the council members "I know this strategy is really bold, but we can't defeat the combined forces here, everyone in Lordaeron must prepare for battle. If we do not, then we could just abandon Lordaeron and let Sauron destroy it."

The council members look at one another for the moment, thinking about the solution they have while Arthas and Jaina stands there waiting for a response. Since everyone was remaining silent, Antonidas looks back to Arthas, deciding to allow them to discuss in private while they take their leave. Accepting his wishes, Arthas and Jaina would take their leave while the wizards discuss this matter personally, either to leave Lordaeron or stand a fight against the common enemy before it's too late.

As they discuss and plan their next move, Alexandros and Alleria have finally made it to their destination, approaching the lands of Ashenvale forest. The great elegant land in the north, fit with billions of trees all across the land here, the forest here is completely different from anything they have ever seen before, they just hope that they don't cause trouble here or else they will never get the army they need to defeat Sauron.

"So this is the place…" Alleria said raising her head up, looking up at the trees while the sun slowly falls behind the mountains behind them, getting the area into a darkened state. "Ashenvale forest."

"The night elves will be here, but we should tread carefully or else they might suspect us as a threat."

"They will think of us as a threat the moment we step through into their domain." Alleria said while getting off her horse "I'm going to go on ahead, you and the others will follow me."

"If you say so." Alexandros looks to his platoon while Alleria presses on. "We set up camp here in the forest, stay close to the camp."

"Right!"

With Alleria pressing on through, covering her head with her hood and taking out her bow but not drawing any arrows yet. She goes to examine the whole area before getting the rest to advance, seeing just how far this forest can really go but she also wanted to see if they have spotted her by now. She heads on through carefully and silently, moving through the forest and small areas and not wide open fields, it may have been stupid to be sneaking through here but it's at least something she is good at while the night elves try to pinpoint her location.

While she continues moving through the shrubs, walking over this large log to go over the stream nearby. A night elf manages to get her sight towards Alleria while she keeps moving, appearing behind her and on high area, drawing her arrow and taking aim towards Alleria while she keeps moving. She hesitated to fire while she continues looking at her but once Alleria made it to the other side, she ends up stopping and stays where she is, getting the night elf curious for the moment but she didn't expect Alleria have already found her.

Alleria quickly drew an arrow and did a spin towards the archer in the trees, firing her arrow and causing the night elf to fire her arrow. Both arrows ended up hitting each other and both went flying into the water while the two stood there for a while, not firing any arrows at one another but it didn't look like any of them wanted to shoot each other.

Elsewhere the group have established a small campsite just outside of Ashenvale forest, having a perfect area because there's only one way through into Ashenvale since the rest of the area is surrounded by the trees and the hills around the area. Alexandros would still be awake along with the rest of the soldiers, staying around the campsites and keeping their weapons ready in case something bad happens, although they are here to talk and not to destroy each other.

Alexandros went walking over to a few soldiers who stood at the entrance through the wide open field of Ashenvale, getting them to return to camp while he stays there looking out there while night time has come. He had his arms crossed while looking out through that view, his blade attach to his back and kept watch for his soldiers.

"She has been out there for a while now…" He mumbles to himself while looking out there. "Hmn?"

As he keeps watch over the area, noticing shadows moving fast through the valley, seeing maybe ten shadowy figures moving through the bushes and trees. He started moving back and looks back at his men but he turns his attention elsewhere when he and his soldiers discovered something else, seeing these wisp like spirits floating through the trees, surrounding the trees where they are and glowing the area around them. This got his men to draw swords while moving away from the wisps while Alexandros moves back to his men, trying to get them to calm down before something bad happens.

"Steady now men, don't engage unless you have no choice."

"But what are these things?!" One of them said looking to Alexandros then back to the wisps

"They don't look hostile, there just spirits. Leave them be, they won't harm us."

"I hope not… There everywhere."

As they held their ground in this circle formation, looking through the trees and looking at the wisps. One of the soldiers who was carrying a rifle ended up seeing someone through the trees, someone who wasn't a wisp. She ends up quickly making a run through the trees and caused him to take aim through the trees, trying to take aim at her while she moves through.

"I see someone!"

"Don't engage!" Alexandros turns towards where he's aiming. "Is that a…."

An arrow comes flying from another area, hitting that soldier's rifle and causing him to fire through the trees. He didn't hit anyone but he did damage a tree, getting that night elf to escape his sight and so did Alexandros but when they tried to see where that arrow came through, they couldn't see a thing.

"Uhhh… Sir…"

"What? –" When he turned towards the soldier who called for him, looking towards the trees seeing not just the wisps anymore, but night elves.

The night elves have appeared when the clouds have covered the moon, seeing they appear near the wisps, all surrounding the platoon and causing them to prepare themselves while Alexandros stayed his ground. When he looks around the place, seeing more night elves than what they have, seeing this isn't going to go well for them so Alexandros would have to stand down.

"All of you." He looks to his men "Lower your weapons, stand down all of you."

"But… Sir."

"That is an order! Now stand down."

The soldiers look at one another for the moment but finally did what they were ordered to, lowering their weapons and showing the night elves that they are not hostile to them. With them being passive, the leader of the night elves in this area would appear before them with Alleria by her side, seeing it was Shandris Feathermoon, one of the leaders of the night elven sentinels of Ashenvale.

"Alleria?"

"I told you I can handle this." Alleria said to him then looks to Shandris "This is the man I said, we both wish to see your leader in need of help."

Shandris looks to her, remaining silent then looks to Alexandros when he comes forward. "My name is Alexandros Mograine, chosen light of Lordaeron in the eastern lands. We come here in peace, but we are in need of help against an oncoming darkness that will soon come to this land."

"The darkness... Is it the Burning Legion?"

"The Burning Legion?"

"A vast demon army that we have been waiting for, an army of reckoning that one day they will return."

"No." He shakes his head "This is different than a demonic invasion, this is a war between our world and another."

"I see…." She looks to his soldiers then to the two "You have come here well-armed, wishing for peace and not war against us. I remind you that if your men ever try to threaten the peace here, we will be force to take action and remove you from this land."

"Agreed."

She will turn back and causes the night elves in the area to move out of the trees and surround them all, placing their bows on their backs to show that they too are not hostile. "Follow me if you wish." Shandris said "She will decide if you should be worthy enough to speak to him." She then walks off.

"She?"

Shandris and her night elves escort them through the forest, forcing them to follow deeper into their territory until they discover that there are more night elves watching this group, hiding themselves through the forest and allowing them safe passage through here with Shandris leading the group. It will take a while but finally they come to a small camp where the night elves in this area will be force to stand in front of Shandris and the others, allowing only Shandris to walk past them then will turn back towards the group while their leader will come forth out of the shadows and will stand by her side, revealing another night elf but appears different than the others, wearing this beautiful silver plated armour and her bluish hair and purple skin, staring towards the two with her elegant eyes but has her eyes towards Alleria when seeing she is a high elf.

"You…." Tyrande said to Alleria "You have the blood of the Highborne inside of you."

"The Highborne? You speak of my ancestors?"

"Indeed… We have no love for your kind in that time, but you don't seem to be a magic wielder."

"We didn't come here to start a war with you." Alexandros said "We are in need of help."

"So who are you outlanders?" She looks to Alexandros

"I am Alleria Windrunner. I am a ranger of Silvermoon in the eastern lands."

"And I am Alexandros Mograine, chosen light of the silver hand in Lordaeron."

"They are here to speak to Cenarius, milady." Shandris said "They are in need of help against an ongoing darkness."

"So it is true…"

"You know this?" Alexandros asks

"Our leader, sensed the presence of a demigod that has stepped forth into this world. A man who has unleashed a powerful darkness upon this world, wielding an unimaginable power that is different than demonic energy."

"This man brought an army with him." He takes a step forward "He has declared war against us, destroyed our kingdom and has destroyed thousands of our people. He will not stop until he conquers our land."

"If we fail to defeat him, he will soon come here." Alleria said "He is probably already on his way here while attacking the rest of the kingdoms."

"I see… So the coming darkness is arriving on the shores of Kalimdor, your enemy will soon to become our enemy. Cenarius has been expecting this would happen, he knew that one day you will all arrive here, gathering help to stop this darkness."

"Yes, please we are in need of help. We can't do it alone, but with all of us together we have a chance of defeating the enemy."

"Do you trust them milady?" Shandris asks

"Cenarius is worried about this enemy that has come to Azeroth, he is not stopped then he will become far powerful than he is now." She walks closer to the two "My name is Tyrande Whisperwind, I lead the night elf sentinels in Ashenvale. I will personally take you two to see Cenarius, the rest of you will stay here."

"Very well, we will accept your wishes." He looks back to his men "Stay here and don't cause any trouble, that's an order."

"Yes sir!"

"Come." Tyrande turns back and so does Shandris, also got the other night elves to disperse. "I will take you to see Cenarius."
