A large group of Gors comprising of Caprigors and Bovigors was moving on their designated path when they smelled the scent of blood.
Normally this would excite them at the prospect of bloodshed but when they arrived at the area they didn't see any dead humans instead just the dismembered remains of their fellow kin!
Before the group's leader could even do anything a Psychic glow covered his head which soon exploded in blood and gore, not even a split second later 3 Caprigors and 1 Bovigor lost their heads in a flash as a young human male cut them off with his sword, Dawn.
The last of the Gors could do anything but watch in despair as the monstrous human descended on the rest of them at blurring speeds before even one them could even bring up their weapons they were already struck down.
Finally Alastor stopped as he made a mental note of his chosen path before going forward but stopping as he felt a "gaze" on him.
He knew instantly this was not a Beastkin, no Beast could be THIS good at stealth even if they trained for their entire miserable lives, the only reason he caught this "person" was cause of his already supernatural senses which he was augmenting further with his Telekinesis.
His hand tightened on his High-frequency Power Sword's hilt and he almost swung it as he sensed a energy bolt being shot only not at him.
"I admire your skill but...."
The Plasma bolt passed his side and struck the head of a Bovigor trying to limp away.
"You missed one"
Alastor felt his lip twitch. "Doesn't matter he would have bled out and joined his brethren soon enough"
"So you do have a ruthless side?" The voice said a bit amused and it wouldn't take a genius to know she was smiling.
"Only to those that dare to harm my people and loved ones" Alastor continued to make conversation with the voice even when his surroundings were filled with bleeding corpses.
"Well said, Prince of Stormwind"
"My thanks and since you know who I am may I know who I am speaking to?"
The Voice fell silent for a moment.
"Apologies, it only seems fair." The branches rustled and in front of Alastor a High Elf jumped down in front of him as Alastor felt his composure crack.
He had heard of Elves specifically High Elves and Night Elves and had even seen some Half Elves near the Elwynn forest settlements as well as photos of them.
BUT he could say without a shadow of a doubt that the Elf in front of him even in the high standards of their kind was very beautiful!
A High Elf with blue eyes, long blonde hair, fair skin along with a voluptuous yet athletic body wearing the High Elves Farstrider ranger outfit that only emphasized her beautiful yet lethal figure.
Alastor was able to quickly enough control his facial expression as not to embarrass himself as she approached him and took a good look at him.
'For a human He's much more pleasing to the eye up close' "Alleria Windrunner of Quel'thalas" She extended her hand which Alastor took and gave her a handshake.
"Likewise but may I ask why a Ranger from far up north is doing this far south?" Alastor questioned but only in curiosity.
A glint of bitterness went through her eyes and disappeared just as quickly but Alastor caught it but did not say anything for now. "Travelling most likely if you want to put a name to it, you can say I'm semi off-duty"
Alastor nodded as they moved through the trail and found another group of Gors which Alastor once more attacked while Alleria shot off stranglers with her plasma bow.
All the while continuing their conversation like it was normal!
"So how have been liking the territory of Stormwind" Alastor curiously asked as he beheaded two Bovigors while blasting another group with a telekinetic blast.
Alleria shot a plasma bolt that went through a Apeman and hit a Ungor. "It's beautiful especially the Elwynn forest reminds me of Silvermoon forest but with a different kind of peace"
"I hope it's a good kind of peace" Alastor gave her a smile even as he took out a dagger and threw it headfirst into the eye of a Tiger Beastkin!
Alleria scoffed playfully as she took the dagger out of the dead Beastkin and threw it on the back of the head of the head of a fleeing Gor "Believe me I love Silvermoon but ancient tradition aesthetic tends to quickly grow stale"
"Guess variety is something every race desires"
---------------------------------------------------------
As it turns out Alleria had already seen the main host of the Beastkin Warherd and led Alastor there, when questioned why she was helping him?
"Every Farstrider in my family's line will love nothing more than to see these abominable beasts lay dead or dying, me included."
It just so happens that since the creation of Quel'thalas itself, one of the biggest concentration of Beastkin was in the North especially in the hidden depths of the Silvermoon forest and there favourite targets were either the High Elves or the humans of Lordaeron.
Suffice to say High Elves have a very special hatred and disgust towards them not only were they infesting their beloved forests but they are the biggest killers of their kind despite the Elves having far better magic and technology.
And as Windrunners, the family entrusted to being the Ranger-Generals of the Farstriders since Quel'thalas inception entrusted with the defence of the Elven Kingdom.
Very few things would give them as much satisfaction as the death and misery of Beastkin.
----------------------------------------------------
Alastor and Alleria hid in a thick treeline on a hillside as they looked down at the encampment of Beastkin moving about, brawling or rutting, mewling and wallowing in their own filth.
'Thousand? No it's already beyond the ten thousand mark and more are gathering....' Alastor frowned as he counted and made a rough head count.
"Disgusting" Alleria had a scowl on her beautiful face no matter how many times she had faced Beastkin, it did not lessen the disgust and urge to vomit as she witnessed the utter amoral nature of them.
"That is something we both can wholeheartedly agree with" Alastor turned towards her as he jumped down with Alleria as they started making their way back in a high sprint.
"I owe you a favour"
"Didn't I say it would be a pleasure to watch them die? there's no need for thanks" Alleria squinted an eyebrow at him.
"You did, but it doesn't change the fact that I would have taken more time to find their encampment and there was also a chance I might have been discovered by their Bray-Shamans if I wasn't careful"
"So regardless I do owe you; every minute I save would be a less threat on my people"
Alleria's lips twitched as she looked at him. "Then I'll be sure to cash it in the future but in the meantime let's rendezvous with your men and kill these abominable creatures"
"You're staying? you do realize you can leave and no one will fault you."
"Yes BUT it also means letting go of a chance to let out stress and believe me Alastor traveling can be stressful" Alleria gave him a small smirk "Afraid of owing me further favours?"
"Hahaha Not all Lady Windrunner, if anything I wish you good hunting when we do clash with them" Alastor gave her a smirk in return.
"Just.....try to keep up" Unleashing more of his power he overtook her in a burst of speed.
Alleria's eyes widened even as her lips twitched. "Trying to outrun a Windrunner when it comes to speed? and I thought you were smart!"
Unleashing more of her speed as well she chased after him.
Ever since she started her travels she admits that despite it being only a day she hasn't seen a prince or even a human for that matter like this one.
She found herself VERY intrigued indeed.
