He returned to his (well, Medivh’s) library to find her going over his notes. An immediate rage blossomed in his chest, but the sting of her blows, and Medivh’s chastisement, kept his anger in check. “What are you doing?” he still said sharply. Emissary Garona’s fingers danced up from the papers. “Snooping, I believe you called it? Spying?” She looked up, a frown on her face. “Actually, I’m just trying to understand what you’re doing here. It was left out in the open. Hope that is all right with you.” It is NOT all right with me,thought Khadgar, but instead he said, “Lord Medivh has instructed me to extend to you every courtesy. However, he may take umbrage if, in doing so, I allow you to blow yourself up in casting some ill-thought magical spell.” Garona’s face was impassive, but Khadgar noted that she did lift her fingers from the pages. “I have no interest in magic.” “Famous last words,” said Khadgar. “Is there something here I can help you with, or are you just snooping in general, seeing what you can come up with?” “I was told you had a tome on Azeroth’s kings,” she said, “I would like to consult it.” “You can read?” asked Khadgar.Doomhammer grunted. “You have never demonstrated obedience before,” he pointed out sharply. “Why should I believe you capable of it now?” “Because you need me,” Gul’dan replied, raising his head to meet the warchief’s glare.Khadgar didn’t hear him as much as felt his sudden presence, the way the air changes as a storm front bears across the farmland. The young wow gold mage turned in his chair and there was Medivh, his broad shoulders filling the doorway, his robes billowing behind him of their own volition. “Sir, I…” started Khadgar, smiling and half-rising from his chair. Then he saw that the master mage’s hair was in disarray, and his lambent wow gold green eyes were wide and angry. “Thief!” shouted Medivh, pointing at Khadgar. “Interloper!” The elder mage pointed at the younger and began to intone a string of alien wow gold syllables, words not crafted for the human throat. Despite himself, Khadgar raised a hand and wove a symbol of protection in the air in front of him, but he might as well have been making a rude hand gesture for all the effect it had on Medivh’s spell. A wall of solidified air zxcgali slammed into the younger man, bowling over both him and the chair he sat in. The grimoires and primers went skating wow gold along the surface of the table like boats caught in a sudden squall, and the notes danced away, spinning. Surprised, Khadgar was driven back, slammed into one of the bookshelves behind him. The shelf itself rocked from the force of the blow, and the youth was afraid it would topple, spoiling his hard work. The bookcase held its position, though wow gold the pressure on Khadgar’s chest from the force of the attack intensified. “Who are you?” thundered Medivh. “What are you doing here?” The young mage struggled against the weight on his chest and managed to speak, “Khadgar,” he gasped. “Assistant. Cleaning wow gold library. Your orders.” Part of his mind wondered if this was why Moroes spoke in such a shorthand fashion. Medivh blinked at Khadgar’s words, and straightened like a man who had just been woken from a deep sleep. He twisted his hand slightly, and at once the wave of solidified air evaporated. Khadgar dropped to his knees, gasping for air. “You have slain my Shadow Council, yes, and consolidated your power over the Horde. That is as it should be. Blackhand was not strong enough to lead us on his own. You are, and so you have no need of a council.” He licked his lips. “But you do need warlocks. You need our magic, for the humans have magic of their own and without us you will fall to their power.” He shook his head. “And you have very few warlocks left. Myself, Cho’gall, and a handful of neophytes. I am too useful to kill simply for revenge.” Doomhammer’s lips pulled back in a snarl, but he lowered the hammer. For a moment he said nothing, simply glaring at Gul’dan, his gray eyes filled with hate. But finally he nodded. “What you say is true,” he admitted, though the words clearly took enormous self-control to utter. “And I will place the needs of the Horde over my own.” He bared his tusks. “I will allow you to live, Gul’dan, you and those of your warlocks who remain. But only as long as you prove useful.” It sounded harsher than he meant it. “Sorry. I meant to say…” “Yes, surprisingly, I can read,” said Garona, quickly and officiously. “I have picked up many talents over the years.” Khadgar scowled. “Second row, fourth shelf up. It’s a red-bound book with gold trim.” Garona disappeared into the stacks, and Khadgar took the opportunity to gather up his notes from the table. He would have to keep them elsewhere if the half-orc had free run of the place. At least it wasn’t Order correspondence—even Medivh would have a fit if he turned over ‘The Song of Aegwynn’ to her. His eyes went to the section where the scroll used as the key was kept. From where he was standing it looked undisturbed. No need to cause a scene here, but he would probably have to move it as well. Garona returned with a massive tome in her hand, and raised a heavy eyebrow at Khadgar, forming a question. “Yes, that’s the one,” said the apprentice. “Human languages are a bit…wordy,” she said, setting the tome down in the empty space that previously held Khadgar’s notes. “Only because we always have something to say,” said Khadgar, trying to manage a smile. He wondered, did orcs have books? Did they read at all? They had spellcasters, of course, but did that mean they had any real knowledge? “I hope I wasn’t too hard on you, earlier in the hall.” Her tone was glib, and Khadgar was sure that she would rather have seen him spit out a tooth. Probably this was what passed for an apology among the orcs. “Never better,” said Khadgar. “I needed the exercise.” Garona sat down and started pouring through the text. Khadgar noticed that she moved her lips as she read, and she had immediately turned toward the back of the book, to the recent additions about King Llane’s reign.
