I was working late one night and had been taking myself to The Blue Recluse bar in Stormwind Mage district. I was working on some articles when i turned my head towards a man standing at the staircase. I could see scars on his body and the face seemed calm, but his eyes burned with something I can only describe as determination and the will to live. When i first met Plexor he seemed to be a silent man, someone who choses his words carefully, his face was full of scars from battles all over our world. I asked him for an interview and he gladly agreed.
He looked at me and asked if he may have a seat. i welcomed him to the table and introduced myself. He introduced himself as Plexor, a man figthing to keep our lands safe from attacks coming from our enemies.
Plexor, tell me. What do you do for a living?
Well, right now i am working for the alliance as a soldier, mostly under King Varian Wrynn.
Really?
I get missions and do them gladly, i sometimes work with the night elfs
Do you mind if i write this down Plexor?
Not at all Alakina.
Tell me how is the Horde problem on our boarders? Where is the Horde threat at its greatest?
Well, that depends on my place of work really, up in Warsong the Horde's are usually very hard to deal with. They are heavily trained in battle and the tactics they use are sometimes very troublesome to fight against. But the night elfs have great tactics themselves, their job with formations and information makes them very good to work with.
Have you ever been seriously injured when fighting back the Hord?
Almost every battle is hard and painful, if it wasnt for the great people skilled in the healing art's it would have been impossible to bare.
I understand, do you ever feel sympathy for a Horde?
It depends, when I know that one horde has absolutely no other choice than to fight, i can feel a bit bad what i am doing towards him. But overall the only Hordes I can respect are Thrall and Sylvanas.
Yes i can understand that. Have there been any threats to Stormwind lately?
After Deathwing destroyed parts of Stormwind, the city got a lot stronger. There are less Horde attacks here now. There are some Horde using their abilities lurking in the back alleys of Stormwind, but with the help of many we easily find and terminate those.
Tell me Plexor, how long have you been fighting the Horde.
Plexor looks down at the table and takes a deep sigh, the look on his face tells me this is hard to talk about.
I will never forget why i chose the life of forever battle against the Horde.
I gave him a friendly tap on the shoulder and he looks up.
Please continue.
I was a soldier of the big war in Outlands, fought in the battle against the legion and Illidan.
I didn't have the time to think of Hordes at that time. I didnt have anything against them either.
As me and my allies fought the great forces of the legion, we found out that we also had another great enemy. Both alliance and the horde had problems with Illidan's thirst for power The Horde always tried to stop us figthing the evil of Illidans force's. I lost many friends out of stupidity of the Horde not letting us do our work, we tried to work together with them, but they started to kill us one by one. And since then i have never been able to face another Horde and think good about that creature.
Plexor takes a deep breath and takes a sip of his ale. He stares at the candles at the table and he seems lost in memories for a while. I clear my throat a bit, not really enjoying the pressured silence.
I am not much of a battle girl, I have met a few Horde during my travels but I always run and hide before they spot me.
Horde usullay wont attack civilians if there's no reason behind it, but they are still Horde so its a good choice being careful around them.
Thank you, I will keep that in mind.
Plexor looks at me and excuses himself, he is needed in battle yet again and has to go and retrieve his orders.
I thank Plexor for his time and wish him luck in the battles to come. I stare at the doorway where he ,dissapears a long time after his gone, knowing that he will be OK. My mind is with him whilst he is fighting to keep us all safe.
