Twilight bolted up in shock “I’m alive… how?” she looked at her body, her hooves and coat were a darker shade of purple then what she remembered. She was in a with dark grey walls and the smell of death wafted into the room, she saw her sword which which was laying beside her bed in it’s sheath.

She shrieked drawing her sword as two skeletons opened the steel door, the skeletons bowed “Lady Twilight I know this may shock you but we are here to serve.”

Twilight growled “Why should I believe either of you?!”

The first skeleton shouted at the second “Snowstorm I told you we would need to get Arthas or else she won’t believe us!”

Twilight growled her body glowing with light “Where is Arthas, is he safe!”

Just then Arthas burst into the room, he was different he wore a suit of silver armour and his once golden hair was now a shining silver “Why didn’t either of you inform me that she was awake?!”

Snowstorm bowed “Lord Arthas I thought it would be best to tend to her needs before bothering you but Storm Front thought we should get your first.”

Arthas sighed “Normally Snowstorm you would be right but this is a special case. The last time Twilight saw the undead we were fighting them so it would have been wise to come to me first. Look you two get out of here and I’ll explain everything to her.”

Twilight frowned at Arthas “Care to explain?”

Arthas took a deep breath “When you died, I immediately asked the Lich King if there was a way to save you.”

Twilight growled “And you joined him!”

Arthas shook his head “Not exactly, I told him that if he helped me save you I would allow him to speak his piece, as it turns out necromancy is not strictly a dark art and light can do a variant of it although the individual must wish to return.”

Twilight grimaced “So we have to here him out don’t we.”

Arthas nodded “Yes, we might as well get this over with.” He placed Hallowed Gate on the table “Ner’zhul we are ready to discuss terms.”

Ner’zhul frowned “Good, I was once the leader of the Orcs, and time and time again I sided with demons. I was captured by the foul Demon Lord Kil’jaeden who tore my physical form apart and bound my spirit to the form I am now as the Lich King.”

Twilight growled “What does this have to with us?!”

Arthas frowned “At ease Twilight” he then turned his eyes back to the sword “So what is it that you want from us?”

Ner’zhul frowned “My jailers the Dreadlords like Mal'Ganis are servants of Kil-jaeden and another demon lord known as Archimonde who leads the Burning Legion, my jailers wish for me to bring him into this realm.”

Twilight scowled “An you wish for us to bring him and his legion into this realm.”

Ner'zhul frowned “Yes and no, I do want you to bring him into this world so you can slay him. In truth I was thinking that I would need to rely on the mortal races to do it for me but your friend Arthas is more than powerful enough to slay Archimonde and then we can free the universe from one of it’s greatest threats since the Fell Titan Sageras himself.”

Twilight grinned “Well slaying an evil demon lord sounds like a good idea to me.”

Arthas nodded to here before turning to the sword “Yes it is but listen to me Ner’zhul we are doing this my way understand.”

Ner’zhul frowned “Yes I need this done as for how you achieve it that is up to you but be warned the Dreadlords are watching and we must not allow them to interfere with our plans. Once Archimonde is dead you can destroy them as well, also be warned some of his minions will enter the world as well and must be slain.”

Twilight frowned “So what will we need to do?”

Ner’zhul frowned “You will need three things, one is to gather the Cult of the Damned those who serve Kel'Thuzad. Second is to revive Kel’Thuzad and third is to acquire the Book of Medivh in Dalaran as it the last book that has enough information to summon the Demonlord.”

Arthas frowned “It seems we will make quite a splash in Lordaeron, may even have to force my people to relocate to another land. Better then them getting caught up in all of this, also I may call on the help of a friend to assist me in this endeavour.”

Ner’zhul nodded “Very well, return home and do what you need to do. I will have no input on you actions from here on out.”

Arthas and Twilight left the huge dark Necropolis, Arthas sighed “You said you loved me, were you jealous of what me and Jaina had?”

Twilight frowned “I was but it made you happy and that’s what mattered, besides you had responsibilities as the heir to Lordaeron to have an heir. Something I could never give you.”

Arthas smiled “Well there is no reason why we couldn’t try?”

Twilight grimaced “But we are going to bring Jaina back, aren’t we.”

Arthas nodded “Yes but that’s not important, Jaina and I as much as we wanted to make it work it just didn’t. She was a mage and I was a Prince, we tried again because we thought we were two young but look at me and her I would spend my time as Prince while she would have her nose buried in some tome away from each other most of the day and then we would come home exhausted and tired barely being able to enjoy the company of the other.”

Arthas shook his head “The point is it didn’t work, we tried and failed. You were there since day one and even loved me enough to step aside just to make my life easier so yes let’s do this.” Twilight blushed as Arthas gave her a kiss on the muzzle, neither of them knowing the weight of the decisions that would need to made when they would return to Lordaeron.
