Summary
Nate Archibald is just a slip of a silhouette in thousand dollar shoes. Worthy of nothing and getting it on a silver platter all the same, he’s hardly even a person at all. So if saving his family from certain collapse requires selling himself in the process, what does it even matter. After all, he’s never been anything but a pretty face for those around him to position as they please, how is this any different?

Summary
The Dark Times are nothing more than ancient history to the humans. Fearsome tales told to all the children of the human kingdoms of Azeroth of satyr and wyvern and trolls and all the wild, fearsome things that once ruled the land. They are almost as fabled and feared as those that tamed the wilds with magic so powerful as to be incomprehensible.
High Elves, the humans called them. Ruled by an all-powerful queen. Hidden away behind invisible barriers in a land of perpetual warmth and beauty. For the elves had tamed all things. Even nature, itself.
The betrothal of Jaina Proudmoore, the first human with magic in her veins, to a Lord of the elven royalty was a convenient way for the humans to rid themselves of the perceived threat of a dangerous young woman with a gift none of them understood. It had also solidified a long-standing, tenuous truce between them. And Jaina? Well. Jaina never felt like she belonged, anyway. She has always wanted more.

Summary
“Show me what? Parlor tricks? No, my prince. I don't need a magistrix. I have a perfectly good one already. I need a ranger. I need someone who can shoot, track, and understand the forest. Parlor tricks don't protect our borders. They don't help me to keep the trolls at bay. I need an elf. I need someone who will be able to work with her sisters and at the very least, understand us.”
Kael'thas opened his mouth to object, but another voice offered its own opinion instead.
“Oh, I can shoot well enough,” the human rose from her seat as she offered...in perfect Thalassian. “And I do not think that me understanding you will be a problem.”
