The sun was rising, spreading a blanket of red-orange glow over the gently waving sea. Ploughing their way through the waves of blue were the three red ships, their black sails raised high above their wooden frame. On the decks stood some tall figures. They all wore the same bright red armor, adorned with golden trims, the same bright orange spears and bows slung on their backs, and the same golden pauldrons. On their chestplates a golden symbol was imprinted, resembling a phoenix with its wings spread proudly. It had been long since they took the remaining ships from the harbour named Sunsail Anchorage. It had only taken a few merciless blows to convince most of those mutated, twisted Elves that took residence in the harbour to surrender the ships to them. 
At the Bow of the front ship sat a female Elf on the railing. On the bow itself, just below where her cloak hung over the railing, gently swaying in the wind, was in golden letters inscribed "The Sin'loren". The two ships, sailing in a triangle behind the first one, were similar names; "The Bloodoath" to the right and "The Dawnchaser" to the left. The slim figure was clad in the same armor as the rest of the crew, yet she had an extra phoenix insignia strapped to her pauldron. In her hands she held a piece of parchment, the seal being exactly the same as the insignia's the soldiers were wielding. She read over it once again, it was not the first time she did so.
"Sunfury General Dragonhawk Mistress Airina Rianodé, 
By orders of your Prince, you are hereby suspended from your duty at Eclipsion Point for another assignment. 
You and your regiment will leave Draenor and travel back to the Home World. A Sun Gate is prepared at the Scorched Grove to prevent it from being discovered by curious eyes. There you will meet up with your respective Lieutenant's and move to Sunsail Harborage on their command. You will take the ships stored there and sail north to Quel'Danas to assist the Dawnblade. 
Further orders await you there.
You will then be refered to as Sunblade Dragonhawk Mistress Airina Rianodé. 
Grand Commander Ruusk."
As one of the Reservists on board approached her she folded up the letter and put it in one of the pockets sowed into her leggings. She wasn't hard to look at. Her skin was lightly tanned and her white-blonde-ish hair was tied into a curl on top of her head, yet enough of her long hair remained to create a gracefull ponytail to shoulder-length. She looked at the archer with piercing emerald-green eyes. After a quick salute he said to her; 
”Ma'am, we're approaching the Island. The Silvermoon's Pride has gone ahead and should have docked there a few moments ago.” 
Airina nodded with a grin before replying. 
”Good. I'll be happy once we're able to get off of this ship. You have that report of The Pride about the situation of the harbor yet?” 
The archer shook his head. 
”Not yet, General. We're expecting a Dragonhawk Rider or Naga any moment now.” 
She let out an annoyed sigh and shook her head in a dissapointed manner.
”That no-good Pridering, always slacking on t—“
The rest of her words were incomprehensible as a loud explosion tore through the silence, followed by a loud crack. A scream was heard as the archer that was previously sitting on top of the mast of the Bloodoath tumbled into the water next to the ship. Moments later half the mast he was sitting upon followed him, set aflame by the explosion. As most of the Elves on all three of the ships turned their attention to the explosion on The Bloodoath, others paid more attention to where the explosion originated from. Circling the sky above the three ships was a blurr of red, purple and yellow.
”Scryer Dragonhawk Rider! Man your posts! Take it down!” 
One of the other General shouted through the now with noise filled air. 
Order emerged through the chaos as Reservists lined up on all sides of the ships. Hatches opened as more of the Green-eyed Elves came from below deck to follow their superior's commands. What was at first a lonely bomber, now turned into a bigger threat as more of his comrades joined him. For every Dragonhawk that came down, pincushioned by arrows, more seemed to replace them, increasing the amount of fiery bombs raining death and destruction on the ships. 
”It's an ambush! The harbor is taken! The Silvermoon's Pride is lost! More are coming! MORE ARE CO—“ 
One of the bombs exploded right infront of the panicked Reservist. As the planks holding him cracked, and his clothes caught fire, they let him fall down into his flaming death.
”Don't let your guard down! If you give up we're dead for sure! Fire at them damnit! FIRE AT THEM!”
Airina barked orders in an attempt to create some order in the Chaos. After failed attempts of doing so, caused by the screams of the scared and dying Reservists and noise of the explosions, she grabbed one of the reservists that tried to flee by his collar and slammed her mail-clad fist in his face. She hissed; 
”Try to run and I'll personally slit your throat myself! Now start firing!”
She threw the Reservist towards the railing before moving on to the next one. Repeating this several times, it almost seemed to work. The lines of the archers around the ship's railing stabilized again and the number of Dragonhawk Riders above the ships seemed to buckle.
”General, look o—“
Once again the voice of the Reservist was drowned out by the chaos. A Dragonhawk riddled with arrows came plummeting down and landed on its back on the ship, crushing its rider beneath its weight. With its last, dying energy it moved its wings up and down desperately in an attempt to get away. Airina and several others were hit by its powerful wings, the force of the blow sending them flying over the railing and into the deep blue water.
The power of the blow forced the air out of her lungs and she lost consciousness for a moment. With her focus dwindling she managed to grab hold of a charred piece of wreckage that came loose because of one of the explosions. By the time she regained her consciousness she had already driven away from the three Elven Destroyers, which continued to battle the Dragonhawks. She considered herself lucky that she managed to get out of the firing zone without any of the Hawks diving down to take her out. The best option, she thought, was swim to the coast and contact the Sunblade there .. if they were still there .. Why weren't they in control of the harbour? 
With her energy becoming dangerously low because of the swim and battle she managed to reach the coast. She was lucky that the corpses and wreckage in the water provided enough cover for her to get through unnoticed. As she pulled herself up the coast, she was unable to see any of her surroundings. She coughed up the water she had inhaled out of her lungs. She had lost her hair bands and clips in the water and now her wet hair in front of her eyes prevented her from seeing anything.
She felt a hard, flat object hit the back of her head before she had a chance to wipe her hair out of her line of sight. For a slight moment she wondered what hit her, then her thoughts blurred as she lost consciousness once more.

”I still reckon we should just kill her!” 
She opened her eyes very slightly, yet remained further unmoved. It had been a while since they had fished her out of the ocean. 
”Nay, she provided us enough information and command says she might have more. As long as she keeps cooperating, she lives.” 
This voice was heavier and had an accent. Draenei. 
”Pfft, as soon as she sees fit she'll just rejoin the Dawnblade without second thought. She has shown no regret of her actions and still speaks as if Kael'thas is her King! She's just giving the info because it's the only thing that keeps us from killing her ..'” '
The Elf replied again 
”Perhaps, only time will tell, but for now she's still useful.”. 
A wide grin spread across her lips as she closed her eyes again.

”Now, I have returned with the knowledge that sacrifices must be made before we can reclaim our birthright. I have forged a new alliance.”
