Find Where I Belong (Anduin Wrynn X OC)

After what seemed like hours of constant fighting, the Alliance army pushed the Horde back within the city walls, watching as their opponents scrambled to safety. Schyuler took a quick second to catch her breath, removing her helmet from her head, she wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead. Then again her whole body was sweating at that point, not to mention sore and bruised.

There had been a few close calls. Checking herself she found a few flesh wounds here and there, dried blood patching openings in her leather suit and armour plating. She still remained standing, and if she could stand, she could fight.

"Lieutenant, whatever towers we have left, focus them on the wall!" Anduin gave the command as he aimed Shalyamane towards the cobblestone wall.

"Right away, my king!" One of the high ranking engineers saluted the boy before he rang off, his voice ringing loudly as he shouted the command to his companions.

Schyuler came to his side as they both watched the remaining towers slowly inch into position. As they did so, Schyuler made a quick scan of the wall. Something didn't seem right. There were no more orcs fighting back, no archers or mages raining emergency ammunition from the watch towers above. Surely not just the ground forces made a retreat back into the city.

"Anduin, something isn't right here," She advised, looking over at him with cautious eyes.

She could see the change in Anduin's express as he took one more look at the wall. His nerves twitched as he bared his teeth. "You're right. Where did they go?"

Palms began to sweat as her eyes continued to sweep the wall. Someone is there. A hunched cloaked figure was watching them. She couldn't see their face, but it appeared as if they were assessing them. The figure pulled their cloak closer towards them as they turned and jumped down from the tower and into the city.

Schyuler was about to reach out to the king and alert him of what she saw until one of the soldiers cried out, shouting towards something. All of their gazes locked on to a large buried hole in the ground. The dirt and rocks rumbled as strange green glow flashed through the cracks.

Before Schyuler could even begin to fathom what it could be, Anduin grabbed her shoulder and yanked her to follow him. "Everyone get back!"

"Fall back!!" Genn repeated Anduin's orders as troops began to back away from the hole.

"Anduin, what's happening?" Schyuler asked, her voice shaking as the pair jogged up a small incline. "What is it?"

The rocks and mud gave way as a giant green orb hovered upwards slowly from the ground. It was shaking violently until it erupted, gas pouring out of it as it floated like a wave across the ground.

"Blight spell! Fall back!!" Anduin shouted.

Schyuler could feel her heart drop as she followed Anduin down the hill. Everyone began running back towards the forest. She glanced back to see a few stragglers, the green gas engulfing them. They slowed their pace and within mere moments, collapsed to the ground.

"Oh my god--!" Watching that horror made Schyuler trip in her step as she fell to the ground.

"Schyuler!" Anduin called out to her after whistling for Reverence.

The horse raced to his aid, slowing down to allow Anduin to jump on to his saddle. Slapping the reins, the horse pulled back and darted towards Schyuler. The monk managed to pick herself up and reach out for him. Anduin grabbed her hand and hoisted her up to sit behind him. Schyuler wrapped her arms around him for dear life as Reverence raced to get as far away from the Blight as quickly as possible.
