I woke up, gasping for air. Immediately, pain seared through my arm, and my vision flashed red. I transformed that arm into bark, and used it to help me stand. I looked around the area, and I was hit with memories. I was in Shadowglen, staring back up at Aldrassil. I looked around, and saw so many familiar faces. I took a step, and I fell over on my arm, and pain roared throughout my body. I called to Aldrassil, and its energy flowed through me, mending my arm. I stood back up, and ran to the nearest person I saw. It was my old druid trainer, and I started to cry. He had died in the fire, and I had never gotten a chance to say goodbye to him.
I ran to him and hugged him, and he said he was surprised to see me and laughed. I now realized that the time distortions in the desert had sent me back to before the War began. I tried to tell him about the War, and Teldrassil burning, and to warn Malfurion, yet my mouth filled with sand. Choking, I spat out the sand, and looked at him sadly. I couldn’t even tell anyone that they would all die, and I left Shadowglen and flew to Darnassus.
Once there, I made my way into the Temple of the Moon, and ran up the marble ramp to where I knew Malfurion and Tyrande would be. I rounded the corner, and there was nobody there. I was too late. Twilight fell, and I flew out to Darkshore to see if I could help. Time slowed as I flew, and the landscape changed rapidly in front of me. Night turned to day, and day turned to night yet again. The Horde army rampaged through the forests, just as I was making it to shore. I stepped on a shell, and I was frozen in place. I lost track of all time, until I heard that dreaded voice.
“Burn it. I said, burn it!”
The trap melted away and I sank to my knees as I rewatched Teldrassil being burnt. I turned to rush towards Sylvanas, and time speed up. She turned towards me just as I was ripped from the past, inyo the Twisting Nether. I floated for unmeasurable amounts of time, endlessly held in a void. Eventually, the sands returned and washed me away from my prison, and I woke up, in the dusty dunes of Tanaris.
