The sun was just peeking over the horizon as a zeplen flying ship flew from it's way over the ocean and over above a familiar red rocky destert area. The Zeplen made it's way to the drop off tower, just outside of the Ogrimmar city walls. An announcement went over the ship.
"We are now arriving at Orgrimmar. All passengers who are traveling to Orgrimmar, this is your stop!"
As the announement was made, below the cargo area in a spare room, Shade was tossing and turning on his bed. Once he heard the announcement, he slowly lifted himself off the bed, overearing Grulnor's excitement to be back at the city of orcs.
Once everybody was out of the Zeplin and on the drop off tower, Grulnor looked over the edge of the tower to look at his homeland. He then turned to the group he was with and proudly announced, "Welcome to Orgrimmar."

Brela grumbled and rubbed his eyes. He whistled and Bosco ran over and started walking with them. "Lets go guys, and I'll make you that Fried Kodo Suprise" Brela said as he took a swig of some coffee.

Shade nodded in agreement in thought of Kodo, but Grulnor shook his head. "Maybe Later Brela, right now I should report to Thrall and tell him all he needs to know. Once I get time, I'll catch up on that Kodo special." Without another word, Grulnor was off at a head start to the city gates with Anaria flying by his side.
Shade stretched his arms out and yawned. "Well, I've got nothing else to do. Lead the way."

Brela walked through the city untill he came upon an empty house in The Drag. "Welcome to my home away from home." he said. Brela started frying a large piece of kodo meat. He added a generous dose of a powder and a blue liquid. "This stuff is expensive to make, so you better enjoy it." he said as he flipped the meat over. Brela let the meat turn light brown and slapped it on a plate. He cut it into three pieces and handed one to Shade. He then sat down and began eating his piece.

Shade wasn't picky about his food and finished it within a short amount of time. "Wow, this stuff is alot better than crunchy spider legs. You'd make a good cook."
(>.< I know this one is short, I still haven't thought on what to add yet.)

"They take a newborn kodo and inject it with enough mana to kill it, then they take the meat and one tooth. The powder was bloodthistle and mana residue. The bloodthistle is fed a mixture two parts mana potion one part water and is crushed by the kodo tooth. The liquid I poured on it was mana potion. So it's a mana filled kodo." Brela said all in one breath. He let out a large belch and patted his stomach."Goooood stuff"

Shade sat back relaxing with his appetite satisfied as well. "I agree, I don't think anything could replace it."
Suddenly, there was the sound of alarm. Shade looked out of the window and saw orc soldiers heading to the gate in battle gear. Anaria busted through the door with a frightened look on her face. "Shade! Brela! The Searing Blade orcs are attacking the outside walls, Grulnor is out there! Please, help him!"
Shade stood up and grabbed his daggers, "The Searing Blade, I knew thoes orcs would pull something like this..."

Brela got up and cracked his neck. He whistled for Bosco and grabbed his daggers."Lets go kick some orc." he said as he lit himself a bloodthistle cigar. Brela's eyes glowed red for a second and then he sped off towards the walls.

Outside the walls was a complete battlefield filled with orcs. Grulnor was swinging left and right with his axe against a couple of searing blade thugs. "You could have been part of a better cause!" he yelled, "You are fools to turn your back on Thrall!"
"It is Thrall who is the fool!" one of the thugs snarled. "He has made you all soft while we retain our true tradition. The Shadow Council will destroy you all!"

Brela seemed possessed as he stabbed and slashed at the Searing Blade orcs. A little ways away Bosco mauled an orc and let loose a blood curdling howl. "Enemies of the Horde shall die!" Brela yelled as he continued to massacre the orcs.

Shade was also fighting the orcs, but not in frontal combat. He used his stealth to take out the Searing Blade orcs by comming up from behind and backstabbing them. His face was well hidden behind his scarf so his identity remained hidden, and for a good reason...
Grulnor was parrying and counterstriking with his axe as he fought more. He hated the thought of killing his own kind, but that was until he heard one of the Searing Blade thugs shout out, "Death to Thrall!" Then it changed. After everything Thrall has done to save his people from slavery, this mindless orc had the odasidy to call for death upon him. Grulnor charge at the thug and buried his axe deep within his opponent's chest. "You'll pay for thoes words with your life!" Grulnor angrily shouted as he pulled his axe out and chopped the thug's head off in one clean sweep. He then charged to more enemies with eyes as red as blood, letting out his battle-cry "FOR THE HOOOOOORDE!!!"

'FOR THE HOOOOOORDE!!!" Brela yelled along with Grulnor as he slashed the throats of two Searing Blade thugs. Bosco let out another howl as he tore the throat of an orc out. Brela stabbed an orc in the chest.
"You shall die elf!" screamed a warlock as fires spun around his hands. Brela tore the daggers out of the orc and in one fluid motion sent them flying. Both daggers imbedded themselves in the orc chest and he fell to his knees muttering "In the name of the Shadow Lord" the orc took a small seed out of his robes "IN THE THE NAME OF SHADOW LORD FEL'DAN!" the orc screamed as he imbedded the seed in his skull. The orc died instantly, the seed's corruption too much for him but as his head hit the ground a wave of shadow energy was let loose. Brela (and all who were in a fifteen yard radius of the orc) was sent flying. Brela hit the ground with a thud and a crack and found that his legs were broken, he whistled for Bosco and the wolf dragged him out of battle and into the city.

Shade was still using his stealth as his weapon. By staying on the edges of the battlefield, he was able to backstab and gouge more enemies. It was until he saw Brela and anoth group of orcs flying from a spot where a warlock fell. Shade could only watch as Brela landed and broke his leg. Shade feared that he was an open target until Bosco dragged him back into the city. "Good luck Brela." He muttered under his breath.
Suddenly, he felt himself falling ground after he somthing hit him on the back of the head and neck. He turned over to see an orc glaring coldly down at the rogue. "Alright elf, lets see whats under that scarf." The orc used the edge of his sword to try to remove the scarf, but Shade grabbed the sword's blade and pulled the ove into a monkry flip over his head. Shade dropped the blade and had a quick glance at his hand that was already bleeding. Another orc sneaked up behind him and held a dagger by this throat and yanked the scarf off for the orc that was on the ground to see Shade's true face. "You! I should have known you were one of them." The orc picked up his sword and walked up to Shade still struggling himself to get free. "It's time you find out what happens to traitors!" Shade could feel the blade over neck starting to cut it's way in skin deep as the other orc was ready to shove his sword right into his gut.
Out of the blue, Grulnor's axe was on the orc with the sword's shoulder, sending him to the ground. Shade took this time to grab the other orc's arm and pull the dagger away from his neck. He then turned around and impaled both his daggers into the thug's gut and yanked each blade in separate directions. He then turned around to see Grulnor finishing off the other thug by planting the axe's blade right into the thug's skull. Pulling it back out with blood pouring to his feet, he shouted to Shade, "Hey Voc'Zaco, You're welcome!" The orc warrior shouted. Shade waved back in thanks and put the scarf back on. This time, no more keeping to the edges, he was ready for the battlefield. By Grulnor's side, they charged into battle.
As their numbers grew thin, one of the Searing Blade's orcs shouted out, "We're losing too many of our men. Retreat Searing Blade! We will avenge this battle another day!" Within minutes, all the Searing Blade orcs were out of sight. As a chorus and cheers of victory echoed before the frontal gates, Shade found Grulnor raising his voice along with his brethren. "Thanks for helping me back there." Shade said, "We couldn afford to let them know about...." Grulnor nodded. "I know what Thrall has assigned you to. Don't worry, when the day comes you won't have to worry about being a part of that anymore." Grulnor patted Shade on the shoulder to try to reassure him that the time to worry is over. "Lets go check on Brela, let him know the good news." Shade didnt even respond, but followed Grulnor back through the gates of the city.

Brela was laying down, his legs in splints. He was in pain but he didn't show it, he was drinking some wine as Grulnor and Shade walked through the city gates. "How'd the battle go?" Brela asked as Bosco laid down beside him.

Shade wasn't in the mood to speak. By the looks of him, somthing was bothering him alot.
"We sent thoes traitorous orcs back into their caves." Grulnor gloated. "It'll be a while before they show their faces again."
Anarie flew her way out of the house and landed right up to Grulnor hugging around his neck. "Grulnor, please tell me they are gone. Are they?"
"Yes they are Anaria, you can relax..." Shade said in somewhat of a cole tone making his way inside. Anaria was puzzled aswell, but Grulnor knew.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine." Grulnor assured both Vrela and Anaria. "He just needs time to recover. And I know just the way to help." To get the other orcs attention, he made an announcement. "My brothers! There may be times ahead of us where we'll have to deal with the Searing Blade again. There maybe a time when even the Burning Blade will try. They can even bring the entire Shadow Council if they have to. But I say let them come. We have already proven that the Horde is strong to fend of the orcs who turned against us, and we will show them again why they made the wrong choice. Tonight, we celebrate our victory over the Searing Blade, and for sending them a message that no matter how much they will fight us, The Horde will never die!!"

(bump)
Meanwhile, Shade inside the house felt somthing he thought out of place. Yes he had the ring, but there was somthing he felt was going completely wrong. He looked himself in the mirror and felt disgusted.
"What am I doing here...." He thought to is head. "Here I am, avoiding everything thats going on in Silvermoon, and that traitor Kael'Thas is probably laughing like a demon...." After a moment of silence, he headed back outside and his way to the Valley of Wisdom.
"I see, and you say that depite everything thats happened to you in the past, you insist on investigating." said the voice of the Orc Warchief, Thrall, sitting on his stone throne with his armor reflecting light off from the fire within the chambers. Shade was kneeling before him, showing the most respect that one could give.
"Yes my lord, At first when I was there I wanted to get away from the Blood Knights, but-"
"No need to explain, you sense a need for your people. I am a little dissapointed that you've only just come back and now you want to go back there..." Thrall then stood up from his throne, looking twice the size he was when sitting. "But I know how important it is to fight for your race. You don't need my permission to leave, but you won't be by yourself. I think you should take Grulnor with you. And that other elf, Brela, How are his abilities?
"Not really good right now Thrall," Shade said as shook his head. "He suffers from a broken leg during battle earlier."
"A battle?" The warchief echoed picking up his hammer.
"It's over now. It wasn't a gigantic battle, only about 100 orcs of the Searing Blade . We've sent them running."
Thrall grunted out a of frustration. Not towards Shade, but towards the thought of the Searing Blade. Shaking that thought for his head, he called for one of the orc henchmen and told him to give a message to the best priest they could find. Once the orc was off, The warchief turned his gaze back to the elf. "The priests will be able to have him looked after during your absence. Once he is able to, I'll send him your way. Now go and tell Grulnor what his new objective is. And make sure you have your gear ready, there will a Zepplin that will arrive as the sun touches the ocean and will leave once it fully sets from the horizon."
As he left Thrall's chamber outside, Shade couldn't help but smirk while shaking his head at the thought of telling Grulnor right as he's starting a victory party. "He's gonna be ticked off once he finds out he won't be able to party for the night."

Brela crawled into a small wagon just big enough for him to sit in and whistled, Bosco ran over and hooked himself up to the wagon. "To the victory party!" Brela shouted as he took a swig of some brew.

Shade followed the crowd to the area where everyone was celebrating. Inside the inn, there were orcs, Tauren, Troll, and even spotted Brela celerating drinking brew. He then spotted Grulnor outside sitting infront of the bon fire. While smoking his pipe, he sat next to Anarie with other members of the Horde surrounding the fire. Shade tapped him on the shoulder to get the orc's attention.
"Grulnor, Anaria, we can come back out here if you really like it outside, but after I buy a round of drinks for us."
The two looked at each other and shurgged, lifting themselves up and making way to the inn. Grulnor instantly found Brela sitting at one of the tables and headed his way while Shade headed to the barrels and filled up the number of mugs needed.
Grulnor took a seat right across from Brela, still laughing in victory as Anaria took her seat.
"Brela, I must say you are handy when it comes to a battlefield. But it looks like some armor could have been handy to prevent that problem there. How are you handling it?"
Anaria gazed at Brela's wolf, Bosco, with curiousity like a little girl to a puppy. She thought wolves were beautiful creatures and is use to watching wolf pups grow up into mounts. Anaria turned to Brela and asked, "Can I pet your wolf or will it bite me?"

Bosco licked Anaria's hand and panted like a normal dog. "I've broken bones many times, I'm handling it fine" Brela said "I remember one time I fell off the zeplin, hit the water, and broke my arms and legs. It was a bit boring, but I found things to do. You don't know what can be exciting when all you can do is move your neck"

Anaira smiled as she reached down to pet Bosco's head and scratch his chin.
"Interesting, how did you defend yourself from Naga or Murlocs?" Grulnor replied with curiousity. "If there was somebody I knew that had no use of limbs in water, they'd been eaten up like a defensless squid."
Meanwhile, as Shade filled the mugs with brew, he began thinking over how he was going to explain to everybody about him going back.
