Mushafeu and her flame pet

Yesterday I saw the coolest thing I've ever seen.
I stopped off in the Valley of Wisdom because I needed to check my Guild's Bank for some embersilk cloth. On the auction house those things are still a bit more then I'm willing so shell out. Anywhos, getting back to my awesome story. So as I was making my way to he guild bank, out of the corner of my eye I saw some fire on the ground. I shrugged it off thinking it was someone's cooking fire, until the thing started to move. 
Whaaaaaaat?! I had to rub my eyes several times, I couldn't believe what I saw. I stood back and watched where this flame was headed... omg, it was headed right for people! I quickly brought out Muckbreath, my baby Alligator and had him try to spit water on the fire to put it out before it burnt anyone or anything. Too late, it headed straight for a Bloodelf on a Wind Rider. Muchbreath ran as fast at his tiny feet could carry him, but that was still too slow. Maybe I should have carried him and held him like a gun and aimed so he could spit.
Thankfully the Bloodelf took off before she or her mount were burnt. I think the flame knew what I was doing because it came straight for me. I turned and started to run, I screamed at Muckbreath to run away. I couldn't run faster then the flame and it caught up with me. I know I'm undead but I still burn easy. Although I thought I was a goner, I still started to jump up and down. Shortly after that I noticed I wasn't catching on fire or even in pain. Was I dead already? I don't see a spirit healer so I think I'm fine. I heard a whistle and the flame moved away from me and started to go towards a Tauren Hunter. It sat still next to her so I now knew where it came from. She stood there and laughed. I was upset at first but then saw the humor in it. I mean no one got hurt and you can't help but to laugh.
I walked up to the Hunter and asked her name. "Mushafeu, nice to meet you and this is Sorangar my flame pet." the hunter replied. I introduced myself as well. I had so much questions for her. How did she get it? Where did she get it? Why doesn't it burn anyone? The longer we stood there talking the more people came up to her and asked about her very rare pet or scoffed at her for having the thing chase them around. "Follow me" she said, so we mounted up and flew to a ledge above the Valley of Wisdom. It was just crazy down there. So we sat and talked and she explained how she snagged it. 
"There is a quest in the Overgrowth that requires you to toss some soothing seeds on some mutated Raptors or Plainstriders, and you have to observe the results. Either they become docile or they blow up. I've never seen it done before, but heard it was a possibility that just as they blow up and before the flame dissipates, you can tame it. I saw a Warrior running around the area and asked her if she had helped Myouh with the quest yet, and if not if she could help me with what I wanted to do. She didn't help her yet and was happy to help me out. It was all about timing, and I had to start taming the beast before she tossed the seeds on them. It took several tries, but we finally did it. And Sorangar is the result." That is so crazy!
Our chat had to be cut short, her Guild had a raid. I thanked her for taking the time to show me her flame and share with me how she got it. She was such a sweetheart. I would love to say other people would do the same and stop and chat, but in this day and age in Azeroth you find more arrogance then humility.

Chopper.... finally!

I finally got one! I know I know, I'm really late on this one. I ran into Serogate yesterday and we were talking about passenger mounts and he mentioned that he could make one. The Mechano-hog. Ah yes, I totally forgot he was an Engineer. You need reputation with the Horde Expedition in order to buy it. Kilmecow my Tauren Death Knight friend is an Engineer as well, but she hasn't been helping out the Horde Expedition down in Grizzly Hills so she can't buy the schematics from them just yet.
All I needed to do was get the materials for Serogate to make my chopper.  I did so much research as to how I could get them for the cheapest way possible.  I checked the Auction House for prices of the Mechano-Hog straight, then looked at the cost of some of the materials that you can buy from people that make them and added them up with the mats you need to purchase from a special vendor and see what I came up with. I would actually be spending more if bought all the mats. /sigh I wish I was still talking to Medelys at that point. She would have been able to make me my titansteel bars that I needed, and those are very expensive. Christene was in the bank at the same time as I was, she is a Miner also so she can make me those bars. I asked her and she said sure. She had a bunch of titanium ore from farming in Northrend a while back and she never did anything with them. I paid her of course but she didn't charge me the full price of what they were worth on the auction house.
Anywhos, bottom line is, I got my Mechano-Hog finally and I paid waaay less then what I was expecting to pay for it. Thank You Serogate and Christene.

Medelys' apology

About a month went by since Deadskully and Medelys had their falling out. Medelys was not the same person that she was when she did have Deadskully in her life. She was very short with everyone including her sister Christene. Which led to Christene not keeping in contact much with her either.  She then took that frustration out on her boyfriend Serogate until he also couldn't take it anymore and left her.  She was slowly driving everyone away that mattered to her, all because of her temper and her stubbornness.
Medelys has been spending a lot of time in Dalaran since everything happened, mainly because no one really goes there so the chances of her running into anyone she didn't care to see where very slim. She still does the Dalaran Jewelcrafting daily from Grand Master Jewelcrafting trainer, Timothy Jones in "Cartier & Co. Fine Jewelry" shop. As she completed the daily she stopped and talked with Tiffany Cartier, owner and operator of the wonderful establishment. She explained what had happened between her and her best friend and Tiffany called Harold Winston out. Harold was Tiffany's Best Jewelry Vendor. "He can sell a giant snow cone to Ragnaros" she tells Medelys, and they both laugh.
Harold asks Medelys about the person she is buying the gift for. When Medelys tells him it's for her best friend who is a girl he is rather stumped. He's use to selling to Males that are trying to woo their lady friends. He has sold to Women before but they are the ones that know what they want and just point and he brings the jewelry out of the case. Meh, first time for everything right.
Another perk that helps people make their decision is that Harold's jewelry helps enhance skills. But his jewelry are a tad bit outdated and therefore no one really buys from him anymore. With Deadskully not needing any of these to boost her skills and stats Harold just told Medelys to pick out something that says "Deadskully".  Medelys chose the Frozen Tear of Elune.  Harold took it out of the glass case and gave it to Tiffany to box it up. Medelys paid, thanked them and left.
She sat atop of the archway leading to the Horde Quarter and ran every scenario through her head. Letters, reactions, conversations, apologies, rejections... the list started to get longer and more negative thoughts poured out. She started to cry thinking about how alone she was and how her life was just as empty as Dalaran. Once flourished with happy people, now a ghost town. Most people don't even give this place a second thought, They forget it's even here floating above Crystalsong Forest.
She wiped away her tears and decided to call it a day. She was too beat to go back to Orgrimmar and try to find Deadskully. Tomorrow will be the day she'll make amends with her friends... Hopefully.

Bageezus flying dream

Holy Cripes, How did I know this was gonna happen..
I fell asleep thinking about my first love, Bageezus, so now I'm have a dream about him. I know it's a dream because he was flying through the air without any help from anything. No Vial of Sands, no mount, no jet pack. Just swimming through the air.
It was a rather funny dream. He was talking to me. He asked if I wanted to come along with him. That part felt real because I remember him extending his hand and I took it. Just as I grabbed his hand he started to fall. Like I broke the flying magic spell or something. It was OK though because right before he hit the ground he used his Vial of Sands and turned into a Sandstone drake. I couldn't see where I was but I guess I was floating too because when he fell I was looking down at him falling. I don't know, it was a dream, and then I woke up. I think this is a sign that I need to find Bageezus again.





Mail Call!

Haven't seen Medelys in a very long time, so I decided to send her a letter. It was a very quick letter just saying that I missed her and we needed to catch up. It's been about 2 months since I saw her last and about a month since I wrote her.
As I wrote the letter I had no idea how she would react to it. The response I got was defiantly not what I was expecting. Actually,  this reaction was extremely far from anything I had anticipated.
As I read the letter from Medelys I had Zhar'gak by my side. I think it was a good thing because I didn't want to seem like a wuss in front of my minion, so there was a lot of tears and hurt getting all backed up inside me.
After reading the letter I just stood there in silence not sure of what to say or where to go. The letter was sent recently because I checked my mailbox no more then 30 minutes ago. I was just hoping Medelys wasn't anywhere in Orgrimmar still where I would run into her. I might cry then, or get a slap in the face, or punched in the eye, or stabbed in the midsection. Stop thinking of the hurtful ways she could injure me. Dammit... I need to put Zhar'gak away and go find someplace to cry.
I started to think about Bageezus all over again and how if he was here, he could make me feel better. I found my way into the Inn and curled up on a bed and then the tears started to pour out. I cried for a good ten minutes and then I couldn't cry anymore. My poor undead eyes gave all the tears they could.  But my last thoughts before I drifted off into dreamland were of Bageezus. Maybe I do need to find him again....
