-----------------------------------------
Alastor next and final stop via air transport was the capital city of the Stromgarde Kingdom.
There Alastor and his escort once again met the ruling king, Thoras Trollbane and spent a few days in his hospitality.
Alastor found himself pleased to see that the warrior King was mostly how he had imagined him to be as well as the fact that Stromgarde was a Kingdom with extensive heritage in military and martial ways.
Thoras himself wanted to get a read on the so-called miracle prince of Stormwind and quickly found himself very much impressed with the humble but strong young man.
Especially when he saw him spar with some of his best warriors and defeat them, he himself spared with him and acknowledged him as not only a strong warrior but also a wise one.
Honestly Thoras also found himself feeling envious of his southern counterpart, Llane was already blessed to have a strong, talented and brave son like Varian securing the future of his Kingdom in capable hands.
But aside from him he also had a child like Alastor, who was a prodigy without equal, a genius scientist and inventor, already a powerful warrior on par with fellow legends.
Not to mention Alastor was a humble, honourable and loyal to his people, kingdom and loved ones.
Where on the other hand his own...he could only sigh as he was reminded of his only son Galen as he wondered not for the first time where he went wrong with him.
----------------------------------------------------
Alastor did NOT have a good impression of Galen Trollbane.
He met his fellow prince in the Stromgarde keep's training fields after he had defeated King Thoras nephew Danath Trollbane who Alastor made a quick friendship with.
Galen was one of the people who never believed the tales of Alastor's powers and achievements believing them to be blown out of water by the Stormwind people.
He challenged Alastor after his cousin's defeat which Alastor accepted thinking he would be similar in temperament to his father and Danath.
Alastor was sadly wrong when in only two hits of his sword he was able to disarm Galen and drop him to the ground easily; honestly surprised expecting more from Thoras heir.
But when he offered a hand to help him up Galen had instead he slapped it away much to the anger of Windsor and Gavinrad, not to mention the embarrassed look of Danath.
Galen got up, hefted his sword again and challenged him to a rematch which Alastor won again AND the matches after it to the point Galen had marched away with a scowl.
Reluctantly realizing that the "rumours" were most likely true and feeling a burning jealousy over his fellow prince.
Gavinrad was quick to reassure Alastor that this was not his fault and that it was not rare for certain nobles to have a vain opinion of themselves.
Danath quickly apologized for Galen's attitude on behalf of the Royal family which Alastor was quick to forgive with grace.
But by the time it was to leave Alastor got a measure of the type of person Galen was.
Selfish, Arrogant and ambitious with no true drive to better himself as a person or future king suffice to say Alastor looked down on him since and felt pity that such a person was Thoras sole heir.
----------------------------------------------
From Stromgarde Alastor and his escort took a land route to pass through Alterac and then arrive at Dalaran.
Alastor hoped that the King of Alterac would be similar to his father, Magni or Thoras after meeting a poor excuse of a noble like Galen.
By the light was he wrong!
Alastor could say in certainty that King Aiden Perenolde was the WORST excuse of a king he had the displeasure of meeting.
The man was more akin to a greedy and opportunistic merchant than an actual King! Greedy, cowardly and selfish!
The way he governed his territory made him want to pull his hair out at his incompetence, it was to the point his Nobles commanded more loyalty than him.
Not to mention when under his hospitality he was always trying to put words in his mouth and trying to gain benefits from him.
Chief among them was the different technologies Alastor was working on.
Alastor had to expend considerable effort to keep his stoic mask on and not to scowl at him in disdain.
At least Stromgarde still had Thoras who was in his prime and wouldn't need to change rulership for a long time but Alterac was stuck with this fool.
He really pitied this kingdom but was frustrated to find his hands tied since this wasn't Stormwind and he couldn't do much here not unless.......he made it his own.
Alastor shook his head at the absurd thoughts he was having.
--------------------------------------------------------
Finally Alastor and his escorts droved their transports to Dalaran and entered it's territory and soon beheld the magnificent floating City of mages.
"By the light to think those mages were capable of this" Windsor couldn't help but mutter as they exited their vehicles and were led to the floating city via portals.
Only Gavinrad and Windsor followed Alastor in the city as the rest of the convoy left for their return journey to Stormwind.
Alastor excitedly looked around at the magic city as they being led in and was amazed to see the different magic and spells in effect, he even saw High Elves, Dwarves and Gnomes though not as many in numbers as humans.
They were being led to the city's centre to most important building of the Kirin Tor, The Violet Tower.
In front of the Violet tower in a flash of arcane light appeared Antonidas.
"Master?" Alastor was surprised to see his teacher appear like this in front of them before they could enter the massive tower.
"Hello Child, I thought at this point I should be the one to lead you in the tower and give you a tour of it as well as where you and your aides will be staying"
Antonidas dismissed the escorts with a nod as he smiled as his newest student.
While surprised that the head Archmage was personally gonna guide them Alastor and his aides stood it in stride and entered with him only to be stopped by two prominent people.
One was a tall, handsome, and physically imposing elf with muscular build, a distinctive scar across his right eye.
The other one was a attractive human woman with white hair.
"What are you two doing here!?" Antonidas eyebrow twitched as he looked at two of his fellow Archmages of the Council of Six.
"Come now, Antonidas you suddenly took a new student two months back did you really think we wouldn't be curious?" Archmage Modera smirked at the old Mage.
"Are you not going to introduce us to your new student Antonidas" Archmage Krassus suppressed his own smile.
Sighing Antonidas introduced Alastor. "This is my new apprentice, the second prince of Stormwind, Alastor Wrynn. Alastor these two are also esteemed members of Kirin Tor, Archmage Krassus and Archmage Modera"
Alastor gave a bow of respect to both Krassus and Modera. "it is an Honour esteemed Archmages"
"You're polite, That already makes you better than most that come here" Modera nodded at approval of the young man.
Krasus also smiled and gave his hand for a handshake. "Well met Prince of Stormwind we heard much about you and are eager to get to know you"
Alastor smiled back and took Krasus hand for a handshake as well only for Krasus eyes to widen as the world froze around him.
In that moment Krasus felt the young man in front of him had disappeared and in his place was some shrouded great being who was scrutinizing his very soul and judging him for all he was worth.
The Sheer might and power he felt from this "being" made it hard for him to breath, not even his Queen displayed such magnitude of power when she was in her Prime!
"Krasus?" And with that he felt himself return to the present to find Alastor, Modera and Antonidas looking at him strangely as he stood sweating with his hand shaking after he let go of Alastor's hand.
"I....I'm sorry....I might not be feeling well today, So I will be off. I hope you enjoy your stay at Dalaran Alastor" Giving a shaky smile Krasus walked away.
Not seeing anything wrong with what he said Modera also walked away and Antonidas resumed his tour with Alastor, Windsor and Gavinrad.
