-------------------------------------------------------
Arthas was born as Terrenas second child and only son, automatically making him the sole heir of the largest human Kingdom on Arda.
He was born with great talent, looks and natural deposition towards the powers of the Holy light.
Even amongst fellow young Royals his talent, potential and disposition were things to be envied and admired much to his, his father and his people's pride.
Arthas lived a good life while growing up and mentoring under Uther himself, he had a great love for his kingdom and it's people as well as a inner sense that he was destined to become a great king.
All in all he had everything. Looks, wealth, Influence, power, talent, a powerful kingdom he would one day inherit and if the light would have it a certain beautiful blonde princess he would one day wish to take as his Queen.
But fate itself is a fickle mistress and time ever unpredictable.
As years ago a visitor had come to Azeroth from beyond the planet.
A child more mythical than mortal who would make waves in the coming years.
Alastor Wrynn.
-------------------------------------------------
Arthas like many others had heard of the adoptive prince of Stormwind, especially when he started making waves across Arda.
A child who grew faster than any other, whether in body, mind or spirit.
A boy who naturally possessed great strength, speed, endurance and durability.
A young man who proved himself a genius with almost no equal in whatever field he put his hands on.
The Youngest Forgemaster, making and rediscovering lost technologies.
The youngest Knight in history after repelling a much larger warherd and taking the head of its Beastlord, personally knighted by Anduin Lothar himself.
A rising prodigy when it came to magic and predicted to beat even Antonidas's record to become the youngest Archmage ever after his published book had redefined magic practice for apprentice and mid rank mages.
And now....He's also a Saint made personally by the higher power the order he was a part off worshipped since it's inception.
The prince who was more myth than mortal.
----------------------------------------------------------
In their first meeting when Arthas was going to visit Dalaran to visit his friend and the woman he fancied Jaina Proudmoore.
He was told by his father to see if he could meet with Alastor Wrynn who would have also started his tenure at Dalaran and get a measure of him.
Luckily Alastor had ended up being Antonidas new apprentice and thus Jaina's junior, who was more than happy to introduce the two.
For Arthas, Alastor was a pleasant fellow not to mention much more easy-going than he would have expected and they even developed a friendship of their own.
Yet despite that Arthas also found that all the rumours and tales regarding him were true in the time he had spent with him.
And due to this Arthas for the first time felt what it was like to feel Inferior as he had more than once crushed the envy he was feeling.
Instead he put himself through more training as a Paladin as well as centering himself so that he could fix his mindset putting his attention instead on their friendship and not their differences which seem to have worked for Arthas.
Now he had even invited him to his kingdom's Winter Veil celebration but aside from that Arthas also wanted to use this event as a way to hopefully go beyond being just friends with Jaina.
His mother Lianne had already given him her blessing to pursue Jaina as a future partner and he hoped this Winter Veil would go well.
Fate is truly a fickle bitch.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Alastor arrived at the gardens of castle Menethil, as he saw the venue of the celebrations as well as the multiple arrangements done for it as many different high ranking people either moved around or stayed in groups.
Apparently King Terrenas wished for the celebration to be quite grand so he had not held back in the expenses and entertainment instead of having it held in his castle halls.
"Hey Al there they are" Rhonin gestured to a group which he recognized as his family along with Anduin and walked towards them with him.
"Father, Mother, Uncle, Varian it's been a long time!"
Alastor smiled happily which his family reciprocated as his mother gave him a hug.
"Alastor, look how much you've grown, you and Varian almost look the same age now" Taria gave her second son a proud smile and she was right Varian and Alastor looked similar in age now that both had reached their physical maturity.
Especially since Alastor was using a spell to keep himself in "normal" size.
Alastor also exchanged a one armed hug with both Llane and Varian along with Anduin.
"Great to see you alright lad, I hope you haven't let your skills rust" Anduin gave his shoulder a firm pat. "Like I would ever Uncle"
"I want to introduce you all to someone, this is my good friend Rhonin, for the past 2 years he has proven himself to be the best of friends"
"It is an Honour to meet you my Lords" Rhonin in a rare display of etiquette bowed towards them.
"None of that lad if you're my son's friend than there's no need to be overly formal" Llane chuckled as he waved his hand at Rhonin.
They family eventually all sat down at their table as Alastor's parents, Anduin and Varian caught up with each other's affair while Rhonin separated from them to give Alastor some privacy.
"Varian's engaged now?" Alastor asked surprised as he looked at his older brother who only gave a gruff nod at that.
"Indeed your father and I have finished talks with Lord Ellerian and now Tiffin and Varian are formally engaged"
"Looks like I will have to think of a good present to give you in congratulations brother"
"You know there's no need for that Alastor just being there is more than enough"
Alastor was about to say more but then they got interrupted by a boisterous call.
"Hah! I knew I recognized that voice!" Alastor and the other turned back and saw King Magni alongside another Bronzebeard Dwarf approaching them.
"King Magni, I didn't think you'll be here as well" Alastor was about to shake hands with him only for him to instead pull him into a strong hug that if he wasn't a superhuman he would felt his spine almost snap.
"Terrenas is a old friend of mine so I had to come myself"
"And what did I say about all that formal crap lad! just call me by my name for Maker's sake"
Magni let go of him with a smile as he introduced the Dwarf beside him.
"This is Muradin, my other brother I told you about who's the ambassador here in Lordaeron"
"Just call me by my name as well lad, I heard a lot about you when I visited back at Ironforge, gotta say your ideas are keeping our forging halls busy alright"
Muradin also gave him a bone crushing hug before letting him go.
"I see that you and my son had made a acquaintance Magni?" Llane questioned Magni.
"You can say that, quite the boy you raised Llane the only problem is that he can't hold his liquor"
Llane's lips twitched as he heard that "I don't believe there's anyone on the planet who can hold their liquor the same way you dwarves are able too"
Just then another voice called out.
"Do you have room for a couple more?" They turned and saw King Daelin Proudmoore with a smirk alongside his wife Katherine, son Tandred and last but not least Jaina.
The Eldest son Derek was not present due to being back at Kul Tiras to act as acting King and gain experience in ruling.
"Daelin! of course the more the merrier" Llane beckoned them over.
Alastor almost froze seeing Jaina in a dress and not the personalized mage robes he was used to seeing her in.
And by the light she looked gorgeous especially since she also grew faster in the last 2 years like other royals who pass the age of 13, now looking like a full grown young woman.
The shoulder-less Periwinkle coloured dress highlighted her hourglass figure as well as her "formidable assets" on her chest which Alastor had to stop himself from accidentally ogling.
Jaina herself tried to keep her eyes off her junior apprentice brother who also looked a bit too attractive in her eyes.
In fact she was finding it a bit hard to focus when around him not long ago unlike before when things were easy and "normal" between them.
Unfortunately for the two this was caught by both Taria and Katherine who suddenly gained a glint in their eyes as they gave each other a knowing smile.
The table was now filled with the Wrynn family, 2 Bronzebeard brothers and the Proudmoores as they talked and chatted.
"Funnily" enough Alastor and Jaina found that their seats were right beside each other making them very conscious of the other much to the amusement of their mothers.
While their fathers talked and chatted pretending they did not see anything.
"So Alastor I heard a lot of you from Jaina" Katherine looked at the young demigod with a enigmatic smile as Alastor laughed wryly.
"All good things I hope"
Tandred gave a impish grin suddenly. "Oh it's all good things alright since she almost always talk ab-!"
Tandred paused as he saw the baleful look he got from his elder sister that told him if he didn't stop talking he'll be a ice sculpture before the event's end. "I mean! it's good things alright! you know between FRIENDS!"
Alastor looked confused at his behaviour as he looked enquiringly at Jaina only for her to be sipping from her goblet serenely.
"Reminds me of myself and Eimear won't you say brother?" Magni had a magnanimous expression as he watched the spectacle between Alastor and Jaina.
"Didn't she punch your lights out when you tried to court her at first?"
"Aye, and I still remember that hook, what a woman she is"
