Uhm, hello all! Here's my second fan-fiction, a sequel to my first one entitled The Rise of the Dragon Knight.

Same with the first fan-fiction, this one may also go with actual Warcraft III and WoW lore. It might go a bit off at times, but rest assured it is intended to go with the storyline.

Here's chapter 1.

THE REVENGE OF THE TAUREN
CHAPTER 1: SETTING SAIL

It had been almost one month since the brutal event had occurred at Icecrown. The macabre scenario still vivid in his thoughts, Kardel wished it would all just go away. Unfortunately, it wasn’t that easy.

Kardel had been atop Icecrown that fateful day, as he had a funny feeling when Chen raced for the Glacier. Kardel decided that it would be safer for Chen if he would follow the old orc. Never did he knew that he would be able to do nothing as the bloody events unfolded.

Kardel shook his head. It was time to forget all that and focus on the mission at hand. Kardel decided to side with Cairne as soon as he learned that the chieftain would go on a quest to destroy the Frozen Throne for the last time. He looked over at the final preparations being made at the ship. A grunt walked towards him. “The final preparations are almost complete, captain. I shall now inform the chieftain.”

Kardel nodded and the grunt walked away towards Cairne’s burrow. Kardel was about to go to his tent, that old tent he used together with Trogdor and the others, when they stayed here at the oasis months ago during their quest towards Northrend… Kardel sighed. “Everything had changed.”

Kardel entered the tent and went towards his chair. He sat and then laid back towards it. He rubbed his eyes and tried to rest his nerves for a while. He was about to drift in sleep when someone entered the tent. “Sharpeye.”

Kardel immediately stood up at the call of his name. He looked at the entrance of the tent. It was Daelin Proudmoore. Kardel was about to salute when Proudmoore shook his head and raised his hands in a hushing manner. “No, please. Don’t do that anymore. I’m no longer an admiral.”

Kardel’s eyes squinted in confusion. “Why? What happened? You got kicked out of the Army?”

“No.” Kunkka smiled. “I quit. I decided to join Cairne instead.”

Kardel smiled back. “This is interesting. You see, around here, I am a captain…”

“Really?” Kunkka laughed. “I can accept that.”

“No, don’t mind it. You shall always be a mentor to me.”

Kardel returned to his seat and was about to recline back when his eyes took notice of something in the table. He looked at that direction and saw Lothar’s book: The Tactics of Espionage. Kardel was immediately saddened. Why, Trogdor? Why did you do this?

A grunt peered through the tent and called Kardel. “Captain Sharpeye? The ship’s set, and the chieftain is already at the harbor.”

Kardel looked at the grunt with half-focused eyes and nodded subconsciously. “I’ll be right there.”

The grunt left. Kunkka, meanwhile, noticed the sudden change in Kardel’s affect and inquired about it. “What’s wrong, Kardel?”

Kardel threw the book in the Admiral’s direction. Proudmoore caught it and looked at it. “I remember this. It’s Lothar’s book! I actually have a copy of this back at home.”

“Yes. That’s Trogdor’s.”

Daelin looked at Kardel and immediately understood. “I see.” He then tossed the book back to the sniper. Kardel placed it back on the side table, where it had been placed ever since.

“Enough about that.” Kardel muttered while he tried to wipe the coming tears of his eyes. “Let’s go to the harbor now.”

Proudmoore nodded and they left.

They reached the harbor and saw Cairne. Cairne immediately welcomed the two. “Kardel, Daelin, nice to see both of you here. We’re about to leave in a while. Why don’t you pack your things so you could already put them aboard the ship?”

Both nodded and left.

Kardel re-entered the tent and started packing up his things. He filled up his luggage with his cloaks, tunics and other clothes. He also packed several boxes of ammo for his blunderbuss. He was about to leave when he saw the Lothar’s book sitting silently but alluringly atop the bedside table. Kardel sighed. “Damn it, Trogdor.”

The sniper shook his head and stuffed the book in his bag. He packed it in, closed the bag and left the tent.

Kardel arrived at the harbor, and saw that Proudmoore and Cairne were already there, getting ready to aboard the ship. Proudmoore noticed the dwarf and waved his hand. "You all set up, Kardel?”

Kardel nodded.

“Well, let’s go!” The three boarded the ship.

“Alright, Proudmoore. You’re in charge of this ship. Let’s set sail, admiral.” Cairne said as he walked to his quarters.

Proudmoore went to the helm of the ship and becked his final orders. After a few more adjustments, the ship had finally set sail.

Kardel was at the deck, looking towards the horizon. He was silent and deep in thought. Everything has indeed changed…

…and it’s all because of you, Trogdor.

For some reason, main title of your stories seems to be familiar to some of the books/movie I know...

The rise of the --- reminds me of Harry Potter
Revenge of the tauren --- reminds me of Transformers

[-AvA-]

Wow, that was fast.
Solid opening chapter

[The Berserker]

You sure are a fast writer, Fuhrer I can feel myself watching, not reading, the story and the characters.

[safetybreak]

“Enough about that.” Kardel muttered while he tried to wipe the coming tears of his eyes. “Let’s go to the harbor now.”

Kardel is crying...
Man, this is going to be interesting.

[invul_nerable]

[willalwaybenoob]

I thought Kardel might start drinking to ease his pain.

[fan.god]

A new, amazing story has been started

[invul_nerable]

[Fire525]

Great opening.

Here's chapter 2. Hope y'all like it.

THE REVENGE OF THE TAUREN
CHAPTER 2: REPERCUSSIONS

Balanar and Nessaj were back at the Lordaeron Dungeons. They were expecting a harsh tongue-lashing from their master Kil’Jaeden any moment now and it is with this particular reason that they feel restless. Heck, the titan may even decide to kill one of them! Balanar only hope that should it actually happen, it would be Nessaj who would be annihilated to ashes.

Balanar was regretting his inaction while witnessing that unforgettable moment atop Icecrown. Balanar saw Trogdor literally massacre Chen, and Balanar could not believe it. And with Thunderfury in the Dragon Knight’s possession, Balanar panicked and went back to the Argent Vanguard, afraid that the already powerful Trogdor, with the runeblade that came from three most powerful swords, might actually kill him.

“This is insane!” Balanar roared and shook his head. “I’m the great dreadlord of the Burning Legion! I should not be cowering like this!”

Nessaj knew the argument was flawed but he didn’t dare say anything. Balanar continued to rage on about the recent shattering events that had unfolded at Northrend when from out of nowhere, A large portal appeared. From it came out Kil’Jaeden.

Both Nessaj and Balanar bowed, afraid to irk up the titan more than he should be. “Balanar! You have failed me!”

Balanar didn’t utter a single word in reply.

“Well? Anything to say in your defense?” Kil’Jaeden asked horrendously.

Balanar didn’t budge, not even an inch. He remained bowing before his master.

“This is preposterous! I thought I would have control of the Lich King by now, and this is all I receive? No, I will not let it go like this. I give you one final chance, Balanar. Get me the Helm of Domination or die.”

Without warning, Kil’jaeden disappeared.

Balanar and Nessaj stood up and looked at each other. Balanar erupted. “Get out of here!” Nessaj quickly walked away. Balanar sat back in his throne at the center of the dungeons when someone entered and called him. “Master Balanar, I bring some urgent news.” It was Jin’zakk.

“What is it now?” Balanar inquired irritatingly. Apparently, he didn’t want to be bothered after that embarrassing encounter with Kil’Jaeden.

“Cairne Bloodhoof has left the Oasis.”

Balanar quickly stood up upon hearing the news. “Why?”

“It seems that they’re after destroying the Frozen Throne, eliminating the new Lich King.”

“I see. Where are they headed now?”

“It seems they need to find a man by the name of Furion.” Jin’zakk reported.

“And this Furion character would be where?”

Cairne looked at Kardel curiously. “You didn’t know? We are going to the Elywynn Forest. We are the to find Furion.”

Kardel shook his head in confusion as he tried to take in what Cairne had just said to him. They were in Cairne’s quarters, a large enough room with a bunk bed, a table, and a window. A few books were stacked in one corner, and almost all these books looked old and worn out. “But I thought Furion would be in Ashenvale?”

“He left to meet with some of his men. They’re at Goldshire.”

Kardel nodded. “I see. I really thought we were going back to Northrend.”

“No. It would be too brash to do such thing. We need to form our strategy first, gain manpower.”

Meanwhile, somewhere north of Utgarde Keep, Ish’kafel was walking with his master Kel’Thuzad. They had lost, and their expressions manifest it. Ish’kafel was deeply disheartened by their defeat. He could never avenge his parents now.

“What are we to do now, master?” Ish’kafel inquired of the Lich.

“I don’t know yet, draenei.” Kel’Thuzad shook his head. “But certainly, reviving Arthas would be out of the options now, seeing as his dead body is in Icecrown, where the new Lich King is. In another point, we no longer have a srong army. The Army of Avernus had fallen together with Lord Arthas, and as such we do no have the force to attack Icecrown at the moment nor in the future.”

As Ish’kafel looked towards the direction of Icecrown, the glare from the mountains had hit his eyes. He closed his eyes shortly to protect himself from the blinding light.

Similar to the blinding light that had hit Ish’kafel, a similar glow burst out of nowhere somewhere in the forests of Wintergrasp. There it was, slowly descending from the air into the ground, was the Sunwell.
