PRESENT
Thrall found it difficult to concentrate on the prophets words when Emila or Jaina the human sorceress, leader of the human contingent was standing so close. For months he had worried over the fate of his shipwreck companion, he had secretly been communing with the spirits every night in a vain effort to locate her.
The last time he remembered seeing her she was still mildly injured and in no condition to defend herself, but then he had no idea she was one of the leaders of the Alliance.
While Medivh explained his history and the reason they were gathered Thrall took a moment to steal a glance at Jaina from the corner of his eye. When he saw her brilliant blue eyes staring directly back he quickly turned his attention back to the prophet.
"I know there is animosity for both factions but against the burning legion you must unite." Medivh urged them. "I will leave you now to discuss a treaty, when we are ready I will set up a meeting with the Night elves." Before either of them could respond Medivh shapeshifted into a crow and departed the cave.
Thrall looked around the cavern both his small group of warriors and Jaina's troops stared each other down. He knew at a moments notice they would break their positions and fight to the death. He looked back at Jaina and saw the same realisation in her eyes. He realised at that point he really knew nothing about her, he wasn't surprised to discover she wasn't what she claimed but the leader of the human alliance was far beyond what he would have guessed.
In all his time as a slave he'd only ever seen males at the head of human militia and government, the fact that she held such a position gave him an even deeper respect for her and urged him to find out more. He gave Jaina a gentle look of relief before striding back to his warriors; with an expression of confidence and an air of authority he commanded his group.
"We shall return to the surface with the humans. When we reach the surface Nazgrim I want you to take the others and tell our troops to fall back from the human base. "
"But Warchief!"
"No! Our petty squabbles are nothing compared to the horror that will befall this world."
"Yes Warcheif" Nazgrim reluctantly replied.
"Cairne you are welcome to take your people and find shelter from the legion. I can assure you they are far more deadly than the centaur.
"I appreciate the offer young one but my people and I are with yours to the end."
"Thank you friend."
"Warchief. What are you going to do?" Nazgrim inquired.
"I will discuss the terms of our treaty with the human leader and we will coordinate a strategy to fight off the burning legion."
"Allow me to accompany you Warchief, I do not trust the humans. "
"They will not harm me Nazgrim, besides we will be meeting at a neutral location."
"Yes Warchief."
