After the celebrations at Westfall, Alastor and Llane prepared to return to Stormwind City and prepare for Alastor's departure to Dalaran at the month's end.
They had already said farewell to Duke Bolvar as well as his wife Alicia who had returned a few days ago from Kul Tiras along with her son Brian Fordragon and Taelia Fordragon.
Brian immediately began looking up to Alastor especially when he heard the great battle he had won and Alastor fond of the little boy spent time with him and his sister entertaining them before they had to leave.
Alicia was a bit put off that her surrogate nephew was leaving but took it in stride as she ruffled his hair and wished him luck on his future "feats".
Alastor wanted to retort her for implying that things wouldn't be simple around him but knowing his track record he conceded.
Alastor had also said farewell to Alleria yesterday and told her of his upcoming trip to Dalaran to learn under the Archmage Antonidas.
Alleria had a glint of her eyes as she only told him that it was "good to know" and disappeared before morning much to his hidden disappointment since he hoped to see her before leaving.
----------------------------------------------
-Stormwind Castle-
It was a tranquil day in the Capital of the Kingdom of Stormwind as the grand city went through it's hustle and bustle.
The same could not be said within the Royal Castle.
"YOU SENT OUR SON TO FIGHT A ARMY!?"
"M-m-my Love.....calm down! I swear on my favourite sword, the last I thought he would face was a Warherd....!"
Queen Taria was chewing her husband out as soon as he and Alastor got back and apparently no one was brave enough to come to the King's rescue since even Anduin stood FAR to the side.
Standing on the side were also Alastor and Varian who were talking in whispered tones.
"Why am I not surprised to hear this little brother?"
"It's not my fault, luck has a love-hate relationship with me" Alastor shook at his head a bit weakly at his brand of luck.
"Maybe...how long do you think our dear father is gonna get chewed out more?"
"Well it has been an hour so mother will most likely stop soon"
"Oh you won't want that soon enough Al" Varian had a small smirk on his face that caused a shiver of unease to go through the Primarch.
"What do you mean-!"
"Alastor Dear! can you come here for a second?" Before Alastor could enquire his mother called him over with a kind and happy smile seemingly to have finally let her husband off.
Yet Alastor didn't know why but that smile made him feel like he was walking to an execution.
"Yes mother?"
"Do not be intimidated dear it's not like you're in trouble come sit with me!"
Alastor obliged and sat with her on one of the plush sofas when he heard the Chamber's door close and looked to see his father and Anduin leave quickly.
But not before Llane gave him a apologetic look and Anduin gave him a look that said. 'Good luck Lad you're gonna need it'.
And he soon understood WHY!
"Now I heard you while at Westfall you met with a certain High Elf" Taria's smile and the gleam in her eyes was manic as Alastor felt an unfamiliar dread fill his entire being.
He immediately turned to Varian, surely his honourable brother will save him!
Only for him to feel the cold touch of betrayal once again as Varian gave him a mocking smile. 'You made my life hell with my infatuation with Tiffin so now it's your turn to suffer brother'
"Come on Alastor tell me all about this Alleria, How did you two meet?".
Whatever he endured afterwards Alastor would vehemently deny if asked if he ever did whimper amongst his mother's questioning!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Finally it was the month's end and the time for Alastor's departure to the Magocracy of Dalaran.
Alastor stood on the landing platform as the Transport ship and accompanying gunships and fighters were being prepped for launch.
Llane patted him on his shoulder. "Always Remember we have your back son."
Taria gave him a hug. "If you ever feel homesick don't hesitate to visit and remember to keep your studies in moderation"
Varian gave him a one armed hug. "I shall wait for the day you become a full fledged Archmage and return home to take your place. Take care brother."
Anduin only gave him a nod which Alastor returned, words not being necessarily between warriors.
Finally a Knight and a Paladin approached Alastor and bowed to him respectfully as Llane introduced them.
"Son these two are Sir Reginald Windsor and Sir Gavinrad. Two of the finest warriors amongst Stormwind; they have been chosen to be your aides and protectors when you arrive at Dalaran"
"It is a Honour to serve alongside you Prince Alastor" Windsor tone was serious and gruff but his sincerity was obvious.
"If you need any task done my Prince do not hesitate to ask of us"
Gavinrad also showed Alastor respect, despite being a High ranking Paladin of the Order of the Silver hand who fought alongside the Lightbringer himself.
"It is my Honour as well to have the service of two great men, Sirs. I shall endeavour to be worthy of your trust and not to bring dishonour upon you"
Alastor waved his arms at his new aides who now dutifully stood a step behind him as he gave his family one last look before boarding the transport.
Alastor straightened his back put a fist on his heart as he said House Wrynn's words. "Serve with Honour!"
Aside from Taria who gave him a proud look, Llane and Varian made a similar salute and echoed. "Serve with Honour!"

Above the skies of Stormwind a group of ships flew out of the city to the distant land of Dalaran.
Unknowingly already starting a new chapter in this tale of Azeroth.
