Shorts

New approach- rather than one big story, how about a bunch of little ones? Short stories, novellas, whatever you want to call them. Here are some ideas of stories I want to tell:

Let Live

• Nikolas encounters a wounded troll east of Northdale. Despite long hostilities between humans and trolls, Nikolas finds himself wondering what to do in the situation.

The Cult

• Nikolas helps a family escape from the Cult of the Damned in Northdale.

Torn

• Nikolas escapes from the battle at Darrowshire after seeing his father cut down by the Scourge. He reunites with his mother at the Marris home to the northwest, where he tells her the bad news. Together they leave for Hearthglen, to regroup with other Alliance soldiers.

Misgivings

• Nikolas discusses his suspicions about the Scarlet Crusade with Thalion. They talk about Lordaeron's fall at the hands of Arthas and the exodus west to Kalimdor.

Flight

• Nikolas escapes from imprisonment by the Scarlet Crusade. He helps a small group of Undead, Forsaken, escape as well, killing three Crusaders in the process. When he arrives in Southshore, he learns a price has been put on his head. He buys passage on a merchant ship called the "Queen's Gambit, captained by high elf Valnara Wavecrest.

Rook's Gambit

• Part I
• The Queen's Gambit is attacked by Southsea Pirates east of Steamwheedle. Nikolas helps fend off the boarding pirates, then aids in disabling one of the ships, allowing the Queen to get away.
• Part II
• After deducing that captives taken in the battle are being held at Lost Rigger Cove, Nikolas leads a rescue party to save them.

Home Again

• While the Gambit is docked in Stormwind Harbor, Nikolas visits his mother who is living in near the Tower of Azora. Together they visit the memorial to his father at Northshire Abbey. Naya gives Nikolas some of his father's mementos.

Enemy's Camp

• While sailing to Silvermoon, Nikolas goes ashore in the Tirisfal Glades and sneaks into the Scarlet Monastery as a refugee. He meets with Katya and the two catch up. While talking, they argue about the Undead and how they are to be treated. Despite their differing opinions, they part amicably and promise to keep in touch through their mother.

The Long Road

• Wanting to pass along some of his father's mementos on to Dobrin Hammerstone, Nikolas takes shore leave at Southshore. He joins a caravan traveling east, the members gathered to protect themselves against Syndicate bandits. Among them is a man named Marek, with whom Nikolas becomes fast friends. They find the road ahead isn't safe, despite the numbers of their group.

Shore Leave

• This is a five-parter in which Nikolas reunites with his "second family" of sorts and finds them in difficult circumstances. He discovers there amy be more than just bad luck, however, and not just from one source.

So, tell me what you think. Do any of these stick out enough to where you'd want it before the others?

Let me know in the comments (in English or some discernable language, please).
