The Coming of the Traveler 30
Hakkar, obviously, did not like to delay the assignments entrusted to him, and therefore, after the order of the Nathrezim, he immediately set off, without even thinking of asking about my readiness to immediately set out. As a result, I went on this campaign with only the most necessary - that is, with weapons always carried with me, and all that remained was to dream that food would be found on the way and it would not be the same as the demons prefer, because what was made with the help of my magic could already be safely used as an instrument of torture.Thoughts were filled with the desire to act, joyful anticipation, but all these feelings were frozen in ice when the picture of Zin Azshari opened to me. Graceful houses and joyful residents of the city still lived in the memories, who met the appearance of stars in the sky and it turned out to be incredibly difficult to see what had become of the city now. Shards of broken stone crunched underfoot, and the smell of burning was st

Outskirts of the city of Kirinor, 16 days since the demon invasion of Azeroth.My first impulse was to assure the girl that her role in the victory was no less than mine. Actually, this would be true, because without Maiev I would not have coped, she arrived in time at the most critical moment of the battle and turned the scales in our favor. Before the words could escape my lips, however, a sudden thought entered my head, instantly banishing the fog of fatigue.It was necessary to think over everything that had happened, and therefore, asking the priestess to get up from her knees, I apologized and, citing fatigue and the need to comprehend what was said to her, asked for a little time to answer. Which he received, once again surprised at the calmness of the girl. So what is the question before me? Briefly outlined, it sounded like this: why was this battle almost lost by me? It would seem that a simple question and a simple answer to it - I was weak and therefore could not cope wit

It would probably be incredibly stupid if my life was cut short at that moment. Especially after viewing the memories that I got, where Illidan of the future repeatedly survived where everyone else died and even managed to survive the fifth and final invasion of demons. The latter is because the disfigured and fading Azeroth managed to fight back, but at the same time lost most of what attracted the demons. The world simply became uninteresting to the conquerors and was left to die. It no longer had valuable artifacts and powerful sources of magic, there were no great entities. All that remains on it is the pitiful remnants of the previously numerous races and one of the last representatives of the elven people - Illidan the Betrayer. In the future, I was able to survive both my many enemies and a few associates. I was able to survive there where the rest died and to die now at the hands of a hysterical elf would be the highest shame! Why did I think of an elf? And whose other arrow c

Stretched out on the cool ground, I enjoyed a brief moment of calm after a long march. Next to me lay Maiev, who, although she had not made this journey on her own two feet, was also tired of sitting in the saddle. The priestess was given a sabertooth, while I turned into a tiger and ran along with the others, already glad that no one had to be carried on my hump.However, I did not complain at all about this state of affairs. After all, constantly being in the skin of a tiger, I could enjoy bright colors, emotions on the faces of elves, and for some reason, such a look gave a feeling of peace and security, absurd, given the fact that in this form my combat capabilities were significantly limited, but did feelings always rational? The euphoria of these sensations and just a brief moment of peace, when you are surrounded by brothers, and not vile creatures, was indescribable. What can I say, if even during the halts I did not turn back into an elf, but remained in animal form, except f

City of Seran, 1 day since the demonic invasion of AzerothThe elves who left Zin Azshari and stepped into the quiet and so safe streets of Seran could not believe that the horror that haunted them was left behind. Yet they desperately hoped that what had happened was in the past, that it was all over and that the threat no longer existed.Dath'Remar was the one who knew that nothing was going to end, but was only just beginning, and he also knew that right now he had the opportunity to become the head of the force that would fight against the demons, lead the army of the Kingdom. But all this is only subject to immediate action. That is why, already a few seconds after the feet of the disgraced aristocrat set foot on Seran's pavement, he himself began to look for Neuranon.The captain of the Karite guard showed up nearby, which was not surprising, yet they left Zin Azshari within a few seconds. Now the commandant peered into the streets of the city and thought about something, howeve

Kaldorei camp near the city of Seran. 26 days since the demonic invasion of Azeroth“General, the demons are three hours away from us, fast approaching.” The voice of the scout brought Dath'Remar out of his thoughts, forcing him to pay attention to reality.She just wasn't happy. A deep, withering feeling, reminiscent of thirst, and the one that occurs after two days without water next to a crystal clear pond, did not leave for a second, and only in such moments of thought it was possible to distract from it. The role of the reservoir was performed by magic accumulators, which were at arm's length and could give a brief feeling of bliss, only their use would be real madness, especially in anticipation of battle.Even more unbearable seemed the views of close and simple warriors that did not leave him for a second. The elves remembered the words of salvation, that the curse that had fallen on the kaldorei would be lifted, and now they waited, waited with desperate, mad hope. And he was

Sunday morning started with Mizuha in my bed again.“Brother, you woke up early today,” my sister said in a sleepy voice, stretching on the bed.“I want to go to the gym,” I answer, being also in a horizontal position.- And how long have you been there? She arched an eyebrow in surprise.- Yesterday. Decided to tidy up."But you look so good!" Mizuha objected, pushing the covers off my body.If earlier Keiki always slept in pajamas, then I follow the habit and sleep in nothing but shorts. Therefore, now my sister had the opportunity to see my naked body. And from her reaction, one can tell that she was clearly surprised by what she saw. Mizuha snuck into my bed at night, and therefore could hardly see anything under the covers.- Wow! I didn’t even notice that you look so…sporty,” Mizuha said fascinated, running her hand over my barely visible abs.Of course, I didn’t see it, because at home I tried to wear as loose clothes as possible so as not to arouse suspicion with such drastic

“Senpai,” the petite blonde poked me in the chest with her finger, “I had to work alone for the two of us. How could you do such a mean thing to your kouhai? Yuika said resentfully.It turned out really ugly. The girl always came to Keiki's aid, and it was my fault that she received only a spit in her face in response. Namely, this can be considered my act in this society.- I know, I'm guilty, - I raised my hands, accepting all the accusations, - I'm ready for anything to make amends.- Do you talk about everything? The girl said thoughtfully, instantly changing her mood, “Then… Yuika allows you to ask her out on a date,” she smiled sweetly, pretending to do me a great honor.It turns out that I was right in my suspicions, the girl really has romantic feelings for me. Who could have known that my forgetfulness would play into my hands. Does high luck play a role?“Mm, okay,” I pretend to be reluctant to take this step, “Yuika-san, let me ask you out on a date tomorrow night.”“Well,
