Changed the title and added short story

Excuse lame title, will change when I come up with a creative one. A Continuation of the-serene-mage.deviantart.com… It was just going to be Jainara and Leorin looking at a chained up Saranah, but I got creative

Jainara's P.o.V It was easy gaining access to the Stockades. The outer guard headed us no mind. But it was the inner guard who we needed to worry about. They've been ever vigilant ever since the uproar a few years ago, and anyone, be they friend or foe is searched and escorted to where ever they are going and kept under watch until they are done. The guard assigned to us was quiet, he lead us down the long, damp tunnels of the prison until we reached a thick metal door with several heavy locks so that not even the greatest rogue in all of Azeroth could break in. After stepping through the doorway, we were handed off to another guard carrying a torch. I stated our business and with a slight nod, he guided us to the farthest cell. He gestured us inside and stood guard outside the door. There in the cell, chained at the wrists and ankles was my sister, Saranah. her hair had grown in the years she had been here, reaching her waist. The chains that bound her clanked together as she moved. When her eyes met mine, she narrowed her gaze.

"'bout time you come visit your dear old sister," she said in a scratchy voice "what took you so long?"

I cleared my throat and crossed my arms,

"S-Scum like you doesn't deserve visitors," I said in the best hostile voice I could muster "especially since they attempted fratricide..." Saranah laughed darkly, "My, that is an awfully big word you used there, did you learn in from your companion?" Saranah turned her gaze to Leorin and smiled wickedly "Or is he only used for keeping your bed warm?" Leorin flinched when she flashed him a grin.

"He is my mentor, nothing more," I answered "I asked if I could come visit you before I continue my training, and he had to come along," Leorin crossed his arms behind his back as he looked over to me "But I see this was just a waste of time since you rather threat and ridicule me," I said as I went to turn away. But Saranah's chuckle caused me to stop.

"You think me naive sister?" She said "father taught me how to read people, and just by looking at the two of you, I know that you have more than a teacher student relationship," Saranah gave me a smug look "try and hide behind your lies all you want, but you can't fool me," I squeezed my hands to resist lunging towards her. With a sharp sigh I looked over my shoulder at her, I was going to reply with a retort, but Leorin took in a breath as he began to talk,

"I fear that your time locked up has made you mad," he said "you are coming up with delusions of me having a romantic relationship with my apprentice, which by all accounts, is a taboo thing to do," Leorin looked towards me and nodded "Enjoy your solitude, my apprentice won't be visiting again," he said as he turned away, his thick cloak whipping with his movements as he moved towards the door.

"Oh, I'm sure she will," Saranah said as we opened the thick metal door to her prison "after all, I'm the only family she has left..." I would have stopped to look at her, but Leorin nudged me out the door, slamming the door shut and motioning for the guard to lock it tight.

"Are you alright?" Leorin asked as he took up my hand. I nodded and he wiped away a stray tear "Come, let's go back to the guild and share a pint or two, you deserve it," I smiled and tailed after him. I had hoped Saranah would have changed for the better, but I was wrong. She only fell deeper into madness.
