Christina's Final Fan Fiction

The Very Beginning…

When the air was full of sweet grapes, the breeze whispered to the villagers that the harvest season was coming. At the first full moon night, there was going be a ceremony, an adult ritual.

The campfires were dancing in the darkness, with the moon and fireflies glowing in the sky. All the villagers were celebrating for the young boys to become adults. When the boy is 16 years old in Northshire Valley, he will be awarded a cape, usually handmade by his mother, and a weapon, usually prepared by his father. Mufasa, the oldest wiseman in the village will give him his sacred totem, a necklace in the shape of an animal. It’s also a symbol of Northshire Valley. The next day, he will be sent to Kalimor, a school in Stormwind City, where he will choose his profession and learn skills in three years. After graduated all the students will be recruited and only the best of them will be chosen to follow Uther Lightbringer, the leader of the Light Army.

This year, we have 5 boys, who receive their totems. I gain the owl of wisdom.  I’m not quite sure if I deserve this Wisdom. The only thing I know is that I will be trained as a Priest, like my parents.

“Mom, do you think I can become an excellent Priest in Kalimdor like HIM?” I look at my Mom, when she put the cape on my shoulder.

“What do you mean, Leo?” Mom is trying to tie the cape under my chin. I can smell herbs from her hair when we are this close. The smell always helps me calm down since the night I lost HIM. That night I cried and cried until my Mom cuddled me to sleep.

“I mean, eh…there are so many gifted kids from the whole Goldshire every year. And I heard it’s hard to master all the spells in 3 years. Besides, since I healed the bird in my 10 years birthday, I didn’t get any improvement.  The Holy spell, I don’t know... How about if I’m not qualified to be a Priest in the end?”

I can still see my reflection in my Mom eyes, although I’m a head taller than her this year.

“I want to be as good as Him. He followed Master Uther to the Battlefield. He marked his name on the Wall of Glory in Kalimor. What a great honor is that! How about I’m not that good, Mom”

She lifts her dark-emerald eyes, staring at me, her only son. “You father is one of the greatest Priest I’ve ever seen, Leo. You have shown your talent when you were 10. I know you have lot of pressure when you have a model like your father. But I never worried about you. You are going to Kalimor, it will prepare you like it did for your father. ”

We sit by the campfire the whole night, talking about how my mother discovered my ability and what might happen in the further 3-years study.  My mother raised me by herself after the Final Battle took my father. It was the most brutal war in Azshara history. The Light Army, led by Uther Lightbringer, fought against Dark Army from the Forbidden Sea. The bloodbath lasted 5 years and thousands Priests, Warriors, Hunter, and Shaman lost their lives. The final victory famed Goldshire in one night, as most Priests came from it. And my father became a hero of Northshire Valley. He shed his blood on the field and in return he won the respect from all civilian in Azshara. 

One month after the funeral, my mother decided to serve in the village. Every week she guided the children to study those old scriptures of the Light and explained the doctrine. She tried to find those gifted kids and taught them the basic spells until they are 16 years old. With her Priest healing ability, she’s also the only doctor in our village.

That night, all the boys and their parents were camping together till next morning. This will be the last family time until the boys are officially recruited in the Army.

When the first daylight came through the cloud, I knew I have to start my journey, a journey to become a Priest, a journey to follow my father’s footsteps, a journey to service Azshara, my beloved country.

… …

The training for Priests is beyond my expectation. None will fail to graduate from school but it’s not easy to pass the SUPREME GRADE and be a qualified Priest. There are 4 houses in Kalimor, the Priest House, the Hunter House, the Mage House and the Shaman House. Most of the students are sent there by the parents with their talented discovered in the early age, like me. But still, there are some tests to identify the specifics, for example, Priests are commonly considered one of the standard healing classes as they can strongly boost the healing done to their allies, including spells that can be used to heal multiple fighters at one.  On the other hand, Priests are also capable of very powerful ranged damage with their unique Shadow ability. A Shadow Priest focuses primarily on damage absorption and mitigation.

(Present day…)

This is another 100 years after the Light Army fought against the Dark Master. Azshara was badly destroyed through all the battles. All the races, Blood elf, Draenel, Dward, Goblin and Human, are looking for alliances to support each to survive. Light Army is still the main force to again the invaders. And I am one of the Light Army. Even I have been fought for a century, I still hard to believe that the war was declared by Master Uther. To gain the most powerful spell in the world, Master Uther tried to learn the dark spell from the Ancient Spirit. But he underrated the power of these spirits. Once the spirit was released from the spell, they turned him into another Uther, the Dark Master, who’s thirsty for blood and hungry for power.

I'm Leo Marcenas, son of Leonard Marcenas, the Great Holy Priest.

I was born in Northshire Valley of the Goldshire.

I was the best student of Uther Lightbringer before he fell into the dark spell and lost his mind.

I was a faithful believer of Master Uther before he betrayed his country and declared the Massacre in Azshara.

I’m Leo Marcenas, the leader of the Light Army.
