Find Where I Belong (Anduin Wrynn X OC)

Chapter 6: Ghost of the Past

"They're falling back," Schyuler informed the king. "It's now or never!"

When they were close enough to the wall, Anduin pulled on Reverence's reins, bringing the mount to a stand still as he turned, looking towards the ship and shouted, "Jaina! The Wall!"

Jaina arched her hand to the side, motioning the ship to slowly turn to its starboard side. Pink magical energy surrounded the gunports as cannons poked out into position, firing not cannon balls, but orbs of magical energy. They roared through the air, striking the wall before them. Schyuler would have covered her ears to protect her sense of hearing, but the millisecond she did so and looked out towards the wall, an opening had crumbled, inviting them inside.

"We end this," Anduin climbed off Reverence, his gaze never straying from the wall opening as he reached back and drew out Shalyamane. "Now,"

Schyuler followed closely behind him, cracking her knuckles to psych herself up as could feel the chi energy flow through her body. This was about to get a lot harder.

The Horde and Alliance clashed once again in the city streets. Baine Bloodhoof called for a retreat when he realized the Alliance had the upper hand in this fight. He began evacuated as many as he could while Sylvanis Windrunner provided cover fire, the purple aura of the Banshee Queen's power shined brightly as she noticed Anduin, Jaina, and Schyuler running towards her.

"Stop--!" Schyuler yelped, but not before the dark elf knocked an arrow, firing it right into a giant canister that detonated into a series of explosions.

It shook the ground below them, causing the trio and other Alliance forces around them to duck and take cover. Once the last of the Horde fighters had retreated, Sylvanis took it as her opportunity to remove herself from this battle, and leaped away, vanishing in the smoke.

Schyuler pointed after her. "She's running!"

"No! They must not escape!" Jaina stated aggressively.

"Jaina and I will chase her down on the ground. Schyuler, try to cut them off on the rooftops," Anduin strategized as he mentally mapped out a route.

"You got it," Schyuler acknowledged before she waved a playful salute towards the mage as she began her run. "I leave him in your care till I get back,"

"Of course, I just love babysitting my dear nephew," Jaina smirked in response as she side eyed the king.

"Come on, I wasn't that bad, was I?" Anduin gawked towards his aunt as the pair began their trek into the street.

Climbing up the side of some rubble on a nearby building, Schyuler made it up to the roof and began her sprint, parkouring her way across the large plaza. Lordaeron seemed bigger than Stormwind in comparison, but then again this city wasn't built along the side of a mountain and open ocean. If it weren't for it being turned into a warzone, Schyuler would have loved to do some exploring. Perhaps after the war and when they begin to rebuild.

Schyuler caught herself daydreaming as she snapped back into reality just long enough to see the flick of a familiar purple cap turn a corner. "There she is!"

Jumping down from the rooftops, Schyuler harnessed her chi and focused it onto her legs. She landed swiftly on the ground without so much as making a sound. She had a feeling Sylvanis was waiting around that corner to try and counterattack. But Schyuler would be ready for her.

Using her chi, she leaped forward, turning her body horizontally flat before spinning in that direction as the chi around her legs formed a whirlwind and she breezed by that corner in the blink of an eye. When she emerged in a crouched like stance, what she found was not the Banshee Queen.
