The next day, Elunara opened the door and took the bundle from the courier before passing him some coins. She flipped through the packages.
"Enter!"
Elunara looked around. "Where's Duchie?"
"He's gotten worse, and Ina has him confined." Renwa sighed.
She closed the door and walked to the desk and held up her letters. "I sent a number of messages to people in Stormwind. I heard back from some of the SI:7, a few reliable gossipers and some other informational types. First of all, Terrance is NOT Duchie's son. In fact, due to the fact that Jenny is alive and well, her father remains classified. If it was just Terrance, they'd have told us already."
"That's... a relief I guess?"
"Turns out, Duchie has reason to believe that Terrance could have been his." She flipped through the papers. "Apparently, up until a few years ago, he was shoving his dick into any willing body, and has a number of illegitimate children running around. Turns out, he prefers human women, no one has a report of him sticking it to any other race."
"So what changed?"
"He got a promotion. When he finally earned that Admiral title, became a self important dick, and started refusing all of his amours." She flipped through again. "From the moment he got his promotion, the opinions of him started dipping significantly. He earned a reputation for being a lazy little shit and isolated himself from friends."
"Sounds about right."
"His behavior has steadily grown more and more erratic." She found the sheet she was looking for. "Apparently, his regular healer started noticing changes in his brain. He was starting to lose time, names, dates, that kind of thing. The healer noticed these changes, and believes that the trip through the portal might have aggravated his condition."
"Damn."
"I've sent a new message to Varian, letting him know what I've found."
Renwa sighed and leaned back. "That's probably the best course of action. Keep me posted."
She made her way into her library and picked up her books and started flipping through them. She felt like she was about to return to the Dak incident. Find them in her books, they had to be there. When she heard the door slam, she stuck her head out. "Boys?"
Stepping out, she frowned. She searched the house, but could find no one there. Back in her library, she narrowed her eyes. Some of the books were out of order. "Fucking hell." She dug in her drawer and pulled out the master key. Placing her hand over the book, she narrowed her eyes.
"You just made your last mistake, asshole." She followed the trail left behind by the missing books. She swore to herself as the trail ended in the middle of a field.
"I lost the trail to my books over to the western field, they had to of taken a portal. I'm thinking Stormwind. It would be the only way to break my enchantments."
Renwa frowned. "That is most concerning. Could you track it once you were in Stormwind?"
Elunara sighed. "Yes... but you know how I hate those portals."
"They're more stable now, and only you would be going. Your family should stay here."
"True." She ran her fingers through her hair. "I just hate the thought that I'll be gone for a day and not get back for a month."
Renwa shook his head. "The turnarounds are much quicker since the time mages have been able to study it. Just go through, find your books and head back."
"But MOMMA!" The boys shrieked at the same time.
"Listen, I am the only one who can track my books. We need those books to save Renwa and everyone else from this assassin."
"You can't!" Whimpered Darguni.
"I don't fucking WANT to, OK? The only time I ever intended to go through that stupid portal again, was when we could all leave this place for good, and if then. I hate this." She pulled them both into her lap, tears in her eyes. "I would kill me if anything happened to you. Just stay close to your papas while I'm gone. Hopefully it'll only be a day or two."
"Yeah, Stormwind is the safest place your mom could be." Jordan smiled. "I can't wait for the day when I can show my family where I grew up."
"But, what about my aging thing?" Darguni bit his lip.
"I'll think of something when the time comes."
Bradly hugged Darguni. "Don't worry. You'll still be my brother."
Elunara raked her hand through her hair. "I need to leave. Be good." She stood up and kissed Jordan. "Please keep them safe." She whispered.
"You know I will, Baby." He ran his hands down her hips.
She buried her face in his shoulder. "I know you love them as your own." With a sigh, she broke contact. "I've already said my good byes to Tulani and Grogek. I'll be back as soon as I can turn around."
Once at the port site, she sighed. The mage opened the portal and she stared into the off image of Stormwind. "Thanks for the emergency port, Lar."
"Hey, no problem. Can I get one of your portraits of my kid when you come back?"
"Sure thing." Taking a deep breath, she reached out for the portal.
"Oh, hey Elunara, I haven't seen you in ages."
Elunara shook her head. "Hey, Jennea. I'm on business, but I'll need a port back to Draenor as soon as I return."
