Find Where I Belong (Anduin Wrynn X OC)

Schyuler tossed and turned, struggling to fall into a deep slumber in her cot. The events that unfolded in the last few weeks were so sudden, bizarre even. But even in Azeroth there was no rest when it came to war and unfortunately this world was all too familiar with it.

The monk pulled herself into a sitting position as she reached down and rummaged through her bag, bringing out a small book. Inside it contains journal entries she had made, the wear and tear of the pages and seems to indicate its usage over the years. Schyuler was given the journal shortly after her unexpected arrival to Pandaria. It was suggested that taking note of her daily routine and things she found of interest might help her regain her old memory, but alas that plan had gone south, as to this day she can't remember a single thing of her earlier years.

Now she kept it to document her journey as Champion of The Alliance, new sights she's witnessed throughout the Eastern Kingdoms and onward and their battles, the wrath of The Legion to name a few. She skimmed through her recent entries, flipping through the final pages as she recalled why they were here in this camp in the first place.

After implementing sleeper agents into Orgrimmar, the SI:7 revealed that the Horde had weaponized the crystal like resource that was discovered at the Sithilus crater, which they now called, Azerite. Anduin had planned an assault with Tyrande Whisperwind, sending a Night Elf army to confront the Horde in Sithilus, however Sylvanis predicted this endeavour and sent her own force to attack Ashenvale. Refugees came by the hundreds to Stormwind, but that was merely a prelude. Sylvanis launched one more assault into Teldrassil, holding the city hostage.

Anduin and Genn both didn't get very much sleep that night, strategizing to protect the city's citizens to support Tyrande. Schyuler volunteered to help rescue remaining refugees in Teldrassil, including their high priest Malfurion. She remembered the fires, the smoke and the screams. When the skirmish was over and she travelled back with Genn, they revealed to Anduin and the other Alliance leaders that the Horde had burned all of Teldrassil, their world tree along with it.

She recalled the look on his face, how angry Anduin was with Sylvanis and her choice to go through with such a vile act. But he was also angry with himself. That day he vowed that the new Warchief would be stopped permanently and the lost souls to be avenged. Thus the Fourth War began.

The screech of a war horn caught her ear as she swiftly returned the book into her bag. Grabbing her combat vest and gloves, she sauntered out of her tent and jogged through the large campsite. The Alliance was perched on the outskirts of the Tirisfal Glades capital city of Lordaeron. Well, what the Scourge left of it during the War against the Legion. SI:7 intel indicated that Sylvanis was hiding within the city walls.

The sun was rising as the rays of light casted themselves down along the war torn ground and up the cobblestone walls of the city, where the Horde prepared their own war ammunitions and banners. Schyuler glanced over to see the dwarven engineers preparing the Alliance siege weapons, giant tower-like catapults as soldiers prepared arms and marched to their positions.

"Schyuler!" The Monk glanced over to see Genn, now transformed into his wolf form signalling for her. He stood by Anduin's side who was preparing the finishing touches of his armour, Reverence neighing loudly as it anticipated the coming battle.

"What's happening?" She asked as she slipped her vest on with haste. "I thought the attack was planned for later?"

"Change of plans. Our sleeper agents have been compromised," Genn stated. "We need to act now before Sylvanis plans her escape,"

"We have no choice but to launch a full scale assault," Anduin grimaced as he slipped on his metallic lion's head helmet. The design reminded her of one Varian had on his armour. Anduin climbed upon Reverence's saddle before he extended a hand out to Schyuler. "Are you with me?"
