Prologue: Gazing Out to Lordaeron

I'm skipping the events that take place during th Fall of Fenris, which is detailed in Assault on Trisfal.

Aorune Fireblade had never felt more hopeful, pushing away from his mind any, even slight, hint of doubt. He had successfuly taken a fort deep into his enemy's lines, and within clear view of said enemy's city-fortress; Atleast, what lies on top of it. Fenris Keep, once the tactical center of Lordaeron's forces, had been in the hands of simple, scared Hillsbrad farmers. He had given them aid, and brought in Worgen and Alliance to strengthen the Keep.

To admit, Fenris wasn't in great shape. The surrounding houses were quite run down, but Aorune's thoughts countered with an image of Stromgarde, where many structures once considered 'houses' were lacking any form of roof, or some, without even walls. So he brushed off the fact, thinking that, once the succesful Assault on Trisfal, there'd be enough leeway to bring in supplies.

Aorune had been happy to commaner with Luptia, and quickly came to feel closer to her than he may have guessed weeks before. They had ended the nigh gazing over the waters of Lordamere Lake, reveling in its beauty, conversing, thinking.....Then the next day hit him like a solid rock...Nay, a rock covered in magma hurled by Ragnaros.

The Fall of Fenris, as it has quickly come to be known, was a tradgedy all on its own. While Aorune and Luptia later assasinated many Forsaken troops after the turmoil, it was all done thanks to Lord Godfrey, who Fireblade regarded now as the worst threat to Lordaeron, was probably celebrating or planning himself..in the Keep he claimed. Lord Godfrey has been assisted by the best of the Horde, the name of Arothand Lightsworn to name one. Aorune growled at the very thought of the Ebon Blade member, cursing his once-great name.

What Happens After Falling?

Aorune trodded back and forth through the cabin, paying heed once or twice to prominent passerby in Hearthglen, the Sepha and Tirion to name two. Luptia and he had laid waste to plenty of soldiers with spells or arrows, traps and sword. The other Worgen was walking through the door as he went over the battle, seeing what he did wrong-and right.

"Aorune? You can't just stick yourself in here all day," Luptia bluntly, and quite honestly, said.

"Perhaps. But....I just can't decide what just happened. I did my best to keep order as shadowy bolts and poisoned arrows, and Ligght knows what else, flew over the hairs on the top of my head. I thought I had a plan, but no one listened. Responded. Reacted. I knew clear enough that Fenris was falling, and yet no one joined me in any form of retreat. I was going to go around, maybe strike into the city with forces still distracted. Then we struck a good blow when we attacked from behind, but that was long after we lost so many men," Aorune explained. It wasn't acceptable for men to tear, no matter what anyone said, and Fireblade knew it. That knowledge didn't help stifle one or two stray drops of water fall from his left eye.

Luptia tilted her head in concern. "I know fully well you did your best to keep order, Aorune. That was a force perhaps bigger than the one at Gilneas. I tried to follow suit, but the traitor Godfrey pinned me down," she said, pausing to spit at the Lord's name.

The words stirred Aorune for a moment, taking her words to heart, and knowing he had been right. "I am already planning a countermaneuver. While we're here, no harm shall come to us; This is neutral ground and even the Dark Lady knows it. However, in a week's time, I want to gather enough men and women to charge into Lordaeron, but it would require some sort of distraction." Looking up, "I just do not know what kind of distraction yet."

Luptia thought for a moment. "Maybe a force in Gilneas will draw the Forsaken for the time we need. We'll need to worry about the Kok'ron though."

Fireblade nodded. "Yes...We must assist in the Battle for Gilneas. And then, strike into my city of birth. I noticed a cavernous tunnel on my retreat. We'll strike..Soon."
