Almost died for a darn pearl!

  I needed some emperor salmon for my Mogu Fish Stew recipe so I decided to fish in Cattail Lake.  I mounted up on my raft and started to fish close to the dock. Fish Felreed kept me company for a little bit before she had to leave for Halfhill. She told me stories of the fish in the lake below me and how they are very protective over the clams that grow pearls in them. Before she left she made me promise NOT to go in there and attempt to harvest a pearl from a clam. Ok I told her with one hand gripping my fishing pole and the other behind my back with my fingers crossed. "Ok Fish, I promise" I said. A little white lie never hurt anyone... besides how dangerous could this be.


After she left, I fished a little more and all that
was going through my head was the killer fish that swims this lake... he could be RIGHT below me!  I looked to the right and notice a clam under the dock. I quickly put my fishing pole away and took out my Scythe. From my raft I didn't see a huge fish lurking below, so I jumped in. I saw a green and yellow grouper swimming about 50 yards away. I swam straight for the dock pillar and Dags followed. I popped underwater breathing on Dags and myself and waited till the fish was far enough away to still have time to get out of the water if he saw us come out from behind the pillar. OK thats good.. gogo!


Dags and I swam as fast as we could towards the clam. I had trouble prying it open with my curved scythe so I had Dags use his polearms. The straight edges made it easier. Now when you open a clam there's always a chance it wont have a pearl in it... Buuuut this WAS my lucky day. It was beautiful and huge!. I plucked it from the squishy meat of the clam insides and as I was putting it in my bag I remembered the fish. I turned around and it was headed straight for us with the angriest face I've ever seen on a fish.

DAGS!!!! I reached for my Scythe and before I could grab it, Dags was right there hacking away at the fish. I had a slight doubt that Dags would be able to kill the fish alone but I needed to get to the surface and breathe. Wait I had underwater breathing!!! Screw air... KILL IT!!! I turned around and threw Shadow bolt after shadow bolt and Soul fire at the fish... It whipped Dags with its tail as it turned towards me. Oh Crap!!!... I swam to the surface of the water and tried to get back on my raft. I can move faster on my raft... The fish was so close I could feel the pressure of water at my feet as it snapped its jaws.  Great, Im gonna die or at least lose a foot or two.

 Where's my raft?!!?!?! I looked around and realized I was in the middle of the lake, nowhere near my raft. As soon as I finished that thought the Grouper came jumping out of the water and was about to swallow me whole when I saw Dags' Polearm inside the fish's belly all the way to the hilt.
I think I was in shock or something, because all I remember was just swimming in place, kicking my legs and moving my arms back and forth, turning to either side of me and seeing rows and rows of razor sharp teeth. I let out a sigh, and called for Dags in a whisper. I was surprised he even heard me. He comes around the fish's jaw and stays next to me until I was able to move. As

I swam towards the dock, Dags swims ahead of me and pushes my raft towards me. I get up and lay down on my raft for a while. I pull out the pearl from my bag and look at it. I hold it up and admire it as it seems to sparkle in the sunlight. I look at Dags and say "All that for a darn pearl" As I finished that statement I pass out from exhaustion, my hand drops to the raft with a *thud* and the pearl rolls out of it, across the raft and back into the lake.  Lesson learned.

Mishel (part 4... final)

“Oh blasted crap!... hey Chris, check this out.” Says Medelys showing Christene the letter she received in the mail. “I knew it! I knew that slimy no good huntard was gonna do this. She went to see dad!… when I find her….” Before Medelys could finish the sentence Christene cuts her off “Calm down, we don’t know that for sure. Besides if she did, we don’t know if she tried to get anything out of him. She might have just went to see and got noticed. I’m sure there’s a rational explanation for all of this… Let’s get this over with” Says Christene as she puts up a portal to Silvermoon”

Mage portal puts them right at Sunfury Spire where their father, Halduron Brightwing and Grand Magister Rommath stay.  As they make their way down the ramp Halduron sees the girls first and starts walking over to them. “Wonderful, my message was received very quickly I see” says Halduron as he gave the girls a hug. “Is he upset at us? I didn’t mean to say anything. We met her late last night. It was kind of an ambush when we went to Halfhill in Pandaria to do our farming….ouch!” Christene swats the back of Medely’s head to stop her from talking, and give her the "shut the heck up" look. Halduron looks at Christene, “So it is true, Your father sensed it and I saw it in her. She didn’t say much and didn’t seem like she was here for anything in particular. Might have just been trying just put a face to the man that might be her father.” Says Halduron

“Honestly Hal, if we brought her Mother’s name to him, would he remember her, I mean gross thoughts coming from his daughter here, but would he remember having ‘relations’, or were there too many to count? “ Says Christene trying to push the images out of her mind.
“So far as I know, there has only been 3... that I know of" Halduron says with a chuckle
"ewww dude, really?" Medelys says covering her ears.
"oh come off it, it was a joke" Halduron replies, with a smirk. "Shall we?" He steps aside for the girls to make their way down the ramp.
"Ah, my lovely girls, so glad to see you!" Says Lor'themar, as hes gives his daughters big squeezy hugs. Definitely a side of him that noone else gets to see. "Aside from the fact that I have missed you two, do you know why I summoned for you?"

Medelys looks down at her feet "Yes father, I think I have a pretty good idea. I didn't mean for her to come here and bother you. She was just so annoying, she wouldn't leave us alone, she...." *zap*
"Sorry father, sometimes sheeping her is the only way to get her to stop her mouth" Says Christene as she pets her sister. "That wasn't very nice, but funny. However, I did request the two of you here for an explanation and a little more insight on the Hunter that came here... What do you know of her?"Lor'themar says, bending down to scratch sheep Medelys behind the ear.

"You might want to sit down for this, because what she says has a lot of valid points to it... Let me ask you this, Do you know an Armor Merchant here in Silvermoon named Tynna? Thats her mother."
Lor'themar looks up... "Yes I do, it's been over 2 decades since Ive even seen her or even heard of her name. I was very young..."
Christene cuts him off " 22 years to be exact. Her name is Mishel, She is your daughter and I think you should meet her. Med and I don't know her, but she seems like a strong individual that was raised right and wouldn't try to come after you for anything. I mean come on, her mother wasn't planning on ever telling her who you are to her. The only reason she found out is because Pandaria folk know Med and I so well, and when they met her, she reminded them of us. She's good people father, let me know if you ever want to meet your eldest daughter. Think about it. That's a lot to take in, I know. Med and I are going to leave you to your decision" Christene stops her spell on her sister and Medelys is still on the floor on all fours... "FOR CRIPES SAKE!!!! What the heck was that for *baahh*!!!... OH GOD!!!" Medelys says furious at the sheeping, obviously. "you want another round?... just temp me Med. Let's go, Dad knows, and he'll make his decision if he wants to see her" says Christene as she starts to pull Medelys towards the ramp.
"Wait..." Lor'themar says with his eyes shut and hand through his hair. "Summon Mishel, I will meet her"
"As you wish Father" Christene says with a smile on her face.
_______________________________________________________
~ This story did drag on for a while. Was originally meant to be only 2 parts and then I kept going and going. I didn't know how to end it. Sadly I just put this together to finish off this story that I wanted to end. Terrible I know. but meh. its finally done.~

Mishel (part 3)

After going through the portal, Mishel quickly mounts up and makes her way to the Bazzar to see her mom Tynna. Tynna greets Mishel with a big hug and knew she was there for something, because it's not an often occurrence that she comes to visit. "Mom, I think I'm old enough to know this, and I haven't asked before because I didn't care to hear the answer, but I have come across two girls that could possibly be my sisters. And they know their birth father and I need to put this to rest now. I need to know for myself. I'm not going to speak to him about any of this. So don't worry about that, I just need to know mom please. tell me, is Lor'themar Theron my birth father?"
Tynna never thought this day would come. "Yes" Tynna says with an ashamed look on her face.



Mishel sees her reaction and asks, "did he do something to you? was he ever unkind to you?"
"no no, nothing like that. he never knew I had you, I never told him, and I thought it was better that way. I met the man you called Dad for all 22 years of your life, at the Scryers Rise in Shattrath while I was pregnant with you and he wanted to take on the role as your father and be in our lives, and I allowed it. He is your father and you've made him so proud. Please don't bring it up to him that you know who your real father is. I don't know how he will react. But he will always love you the same." The man Mishel's mother spoke of was Commander Hobb. Before he was recruited to lead the Scryers in the fight against the Dragonmaw in Shadowmoon Valley, he and Mishel's mother met. Mishel never cared to ask how they met, and it was never a topic that came up... until now.

"Alright, I wont tell him anything. I'm supposed to bring him some Great Pandaren banquets for his men and women down there later. I won't let him know anything I promise.... Alright, I better get on my way. Thank you for telling me the truth. I'll see you when I see you" And she left the shop.
Mishel needed to find out for herself and see Lor'themar one more time before she left Silvermoon. She rode back up to Sunfury Spire and without saying anything to anyone, she just walked in. She saw that Lor'themar was busy talking to Ranger General Halduron Brightwing. She was standing there staring in awe when she caught Halduron's eye and he asked "Can we help you with something little missy?"

She stumbles to come up with something. "ah, ah, ah, n-n-no thank you, im just, looking aaaaat... this wonderful rug pattern, is it Persian?" and bends down to feel it. Mishel closes her eyes in embarrassment at what just came out of her mouth. At that point Lor'themar turns around and walks towards her. "Stand up, hunter" Stern yet in a soft tone. He extends his hand to help her up. He looks at her and can sense something very familiar. Mishel quickly puts her chin down. "What's your name hunter" he asks.
"Mishel" she whispers. "I didn't mean to disturb your meeting my Lord." "Nonsense, we were just talking about how dark the drapery is in here and that we needed to brighten up the place with some pinks, and bright blues". She looks up with a confused, surprised look in her eyes, Sees Lor'themar smile and realizes he was just making a joke, and they all laugh. "See my dear, no harm at all. We do not converse in public if it is only for private ears, all are welcome to approach and share their thoughts." "Understood my Lord, I better be on my way. It was an honor to meet you, Let's go Ruby."
Lor'themar watches her leave and Halduron comes up to him. "Sir, is it just me or does she remind you of your daughters?". "Indeed she does, Summon Christene and Medelys, I need to speak with them at once." "Right away Sir"   (to be continued)

Mishel (part2)

Ahhh Christene, just the Mage I was looking for. "Farmer Yoon, How are you today?", "I am doing rather well my dear, but I think you will be doing even better in a few seconds.... Mishel!"
Mishel comes out from the broken wagon she was waiting in. "Christene this is Mishel, she has just learned today that people around Pandaria think she is your sister. " the girls shake hands and look each other over. "Oh Farmer Yoon, that is so sweet, but I know Med and I are the only children our parents ever had. After we were born, they split... Who are your parents?" Christene asks Mishel.
"Well my mother was never married, and she never really told me who my father was, just that he was of great importance and he never knew about me and that's how it should stay. After the day she told me that, I left it alone never to speak of him to her again"
All of a sudden Christene gets hit in the back of the head by something soft. She turns around ready to send a Frostbolt their way. Medely's laughs and Christene decided to still get back at her with a less devastating Ice Lance to the chest. Medelys' plate armor blocks most of the impact but still winded her a little. "Ugh geez sis, it was only bread!" says Medelys adjusting her gear. "Yeah, yeah hush, we need to talk" Christene tells Med pulling her off to the side. After she explains the situation, they both walk over to Mishel. Medelys walks around Mishel a couple of times looking her up and down, not saying a word, until she stops in front of her. Mishel is a few inches taller then the 2 girls and her features are a little more slender. Maybe from all her agility she needs to be a hunter. Anywhos, Medelys went straight to the point.
"Who's your birth mother?"
"She's an armor merchant in Silvermoon, her name is Tynna" Mishel replies.
"Who's your birth father?"
"I don't know, my mother never told me and I wanted to respect her wishes and not find out who he really is. He's supposed to be an important and powerful man. It always did peak my curiosity, but I figured it was for the best I not know" you could tell the slight sadness on Mishel's face as she finished that sentence. And then she asked Medelys and Christene the same questions.

Christene sits down in the grass and answers her question. "Our parents were never married, and when they split, they decided to do the same with us as well. Our mother took me and our father took Medelys. Our mother is a certified Mage Trainer and she raised me and taught me how to be mage. Her name is Zaedana and she stays in Silvermoon with the other mage and portal trainers.
Medelys here wasn't actually raised by our father. He gave that job to his Paladin Trainer brother Bachi and Bachi's Warrior Trainer wife, Sarithra. I'm still a bit bitter at that actually. Why are you going to split up your children if you're not going to raise them yourself!?!?!. he should have just let mom keep you too, she could have handled it... She's the strongest woman that...." Medelys cuts her off "Alright settle down, it's done and over with, we turned out fine and we found each other, happy happy story, the end" Medelys then turns to Mishel, "Yes I was raised by my Aunt and Uncle, trained to be a Paladin, I wanted to be a Warrior, but father wouldn't allow it. So whatever. I actually did spend a lot of time with our father. He just couldn't raise me like a father should because of how busy he was. I was ok with it, and that's all that matters"
Mishel asks the question that was on her mind from when Christene got upset about their father, "So who IS your father?, it's obviously eerie that we do look like sisters, my mom refused to reveal who my father is because of his importance, and now you telling me that he couldn't raise you because he is a busy man. That sounds like the common link between us."
"That's going to be up to Medelys if she wants to tell you, but if you really want to know and want to be sure, you will have to go back to your mother and ask her. bring the name to her and say that you know about him, and see what she says and watch her reaction." says Christene.
"Lord Lor'themar Theron is our father" Medelys says.
"Holy Clefthoof balls, are you serious? Lor'themar, the leader of
 Blood Elves Theron, the same dude? no ways, you're so full of elekk poop!" Mishel says with utter disbelief.
Medelys snaps back quick "Look, we could care less if you go back to your mom and ask her to finally tell you the truth about your father. Either way, if you want to get snippy and call me a liar, this will be the last time we see each other, and I don't want to see you around my dad, trying to weasel your way into his life just because of the person he is. And that you're a poor Huntard, that's just looking to get something from him."
Christene quickly gets up off the ground and rushes towards Medelys to pull her back..
"Excuse me!, for your information, I'm not poor and I have a father, someone who took care of me when my own mother decided that her job, was more important then her daughter. Im not looking to replace my father with someone who decides to just abandon his daughter with his brother and not take fatherly responsibilities. And call me a Huntard one more and that would be the last words you ever say" Mishel says as she calls RubyJade to her side.
Chris cuts the two off. "Quit it you two!!, no one was accusing the other of anything, Med, she was just trying to process the who thing. You know as well as I do that throwing dad's name around like that needs some getting used to. And now apologize for the 'poor Huntard' comment that was way outta line".
"Fine, I'm sorry for calling you a huntard". Medelys says reluctantly

"It's ok, Im sorry I threatened to sic RubyJade on you. Anyways, why don't we call it a day, and I'll go back to my mother and poke around more."
Christene chimes in, "Good idea! I can put a portal up to Silvermoon for you, just send me a note if you ever want to meet up again and chat more".
Mishel thanks Christene and into the portal she went.
(to be continued)

where's my body?

I was tending to my farm in Halfhill when Farmer Yoon stops me and asks if I can do something for him. "Farmer Yoon, have I ever told you no?" I say... "Ahh sweet Skully, indeed you have never declined helping me as long as I've known you" Says Farmer Yoon.
He then explains what he needed me to do. I mount up on Ony and off we fly to the hills above the Heartland where Jokka-Jokka, The Kunzen Hunter-Chief, walks around. This is gonna be a piece of cake... So I thought.
I jump down off of Ony and land right next to Jokka-Jokka, Dags takes a while to get down. As Dags is wailing on this guy I see him crank his arm back and start to shake...

"Dags, watchout!!!" I run up to Dags, push him out of the way and the next thing I knew I was hurling off the cliff backwards. I was too slow to pop my 'Demonic Leap' ability which will turn me into a meteor, and safely I would have landed. But nooooo. I fell to my death.
Nearest Spirit Healer in the Heartland, was pretty far from where my body landed. I had to run down quite a ways to get to my body and by that time I could not remember where I died. Great, I lost my body!!! This is so unbelievable. Alright I knew I fell in bushes, but I have no idea what bushes. Ok I think there was a fence in front of it.

Ugh for the love of pete!... this is gonna take forevers!. Spirit healer did say that she can just rez me at the graveyard but that will take away my damage dealt and health for 10 minutes and I really wanted to get this over with. ugh I guess I can take 10 minutes to figure out how I will kill Jokka-Jokka.
Lightbulb!!!! I will just keep my back towards the hill so when he does his throw I will get knocked into the hill instead of off the cliff. Maybe I should try to see if I can interrupt it first. Cuz that was pretty painful the first time I got clobbered, and I would choose NOT to feel that ever again.

Catching grain bags and imp killing

Stupid devil Imp!!!... doesn't he know there are starving Pandas in Pandaria! And he's up there being a jerk, tossing bags of perfectly good grains down to the ground and watching them break open and get wasted in the dirt. I need to put a stop to this.

I stand below him and taunt him to throw another one down and try to hit me. He throws it and I catch it perfectly. "Come on you jerk!, throw another one, I dare ya!" and he throws another one. 
He picks up on what I'm doing and throws 3 more back to back. I catch all 3 and it was getting way to heavy for me to carry.






 I turn around and see an empty wagon up on the hill. Dags and I make a run for it as quick as we can along the road, trying not to catch the attention of the other annoying imps that are running around this place. I get to the wagon and put the 5 bags down and go back and catch more and repeat this process 2 more times, before I realize to just kill that punk. Why the heck didn't I think of that before. I know how we can do this. I stay down catching he bags, and I send Dags up... he goes inside the mill, up the stairs and out the back window and comes around the building's roof. I watch as he stands behind the imp for a few seconds waiting for him to throw another bag down *Slice*. The Imps little head rolls off the roof and falls to the ground at my feet. Dags looks down at me and smiles and comes back down to my side.

This mill has gotten overrun by the little imps. Along with just messing things up, they actually stick around because they too like the freshly milled grains. The Mill workers have to constantly chase the imps away, but some days the swarm of imps are too much and the workers just let them do their business and they leave when they get too full. No one gets hurt if the workers don't fight back. But they leave a mess and a lot of wasted grains are scattered around. Majority of the worker's time is spent cleaning up the place before they can continue working again. It's a terrible process, but they are used to it.

Breaded Frog Cooking

Stamp Thunderhorn in Darkmoon Faire wanted me to help him bread some frogs and toss them in his cauldron behind him. He gave me a bag of 5 frogs and I went to Thunderbluff to the cooking vendor and grabbed some simple flour. I sat on a bench and I opened the bag and pulled out a frog.
The little guys are still alive!?!?! this is pretty sad. Did I have to kill them first?... I can't do this I thought, but I knew I had to... Ugh!, I put the frog back in the bag and poured the flour in there and shook up the bag. I can hear them chirping or whatever frogs do. croaking? Whatever this is cruel, why am I concerned about these little frogs? I've done stuff like this many times before without a care in the world. Alright let me get to Stamp and get this over with.

"Oh Deadskully, you have my frogs! Outstanding!, now you must toss them in and I will give you your payment." Stamp says excited about the meal that he will be serving to his Faire staff.
I took out a frog, swung my hand back and was getting ready to toss it in the pot. It wiggled in my hand and I looked back at it and it looked back up at me with it's sad breaded frog eyes and I swear it asked me to free him and the other 4 of his frog family trapped in the bag.
I stopped, looked at Stamp, mouthed the words "I'm sorry, I can't", put the frog back in the bag and turned around to run. "Deadskully! please they are just frogs they won't feel a thing once they hit the boiling soup in my pot, I swear!" yelled Stamp.

Just as I turned, it felt like I hit a wall *Smack*
I looked up to see Hellgurl standing there and then I blacked out.
"Ow geez Skully, walk much?... Oh nice, you're helping Stamp with lunch. I'll help"
Hellgurl bent down, grabbed the bag that fell out of my hand, opened it, jumped on the booth counter, reached in the bag and grabbed out a frog. *toss* *plop* She did that until all 5 of them were floating in that pot.
I guess Hellgurl picked me up and put me on a cot by the Faire's first aid trainers and sat with me until I came to. "Oh hey, sorry I didn't mean to knock you out. but in all fairness you ran into me."
says Hellgurl defensively.
"Why are Orcs build like Demos? Feels like one ran over me... Wait, where's the frogs?" I say looking around.
"Oh don't worry, I completed the task. and here is your payment.... and here is your lunch" says Hellgurl handing me 10 gold, a darkmoon ticket aaaaaaaand a bowl of breaded frog leg soup.   "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Mishel (part 1)

Mishel, Bloodelf Hunter

Pretty Bloodelf with bright green eyes and a very distinctive voice that he's only heard spoken by 2 others in Azeroth. Danky the Spirit of harmony Vendor thought to himself as this Hunter came to trade in some Spirits of Harmony for stacks of Exotic Leathers and Prismatic Scales for her Leatherworking.  He seen her a few times before and she always reminded him of Medelys and Christene. After the Spirit transaction was done and Mishel thanked Danky he stopped her"My dear, how are your sisters doing? I haven't seen them for a couple of days."
Mishel replies with a "huh? sisters? I think you've got me confused with someone else"
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry, there are just so much similarities between you and 2 sisters that frequently stop by. Their names are Medelys and Christene. They also frequent Halfhill, maybe you can find them there or more information about them from the vendors." says Danky
"As much as I think you are just mistaken, I am truly curious to meet these 2. I've never been to Halfhill, but I will definitely head down there. Thank you Danky, I'll be back soon and tell you what I find" Mishel gives Danky a hug and calls RubyJade, her Jade Panther hunter pet, over to get ready to leave. Mishel mounts up on her Wyvern and takes off for Halfhill.

The first person she sees is Sungshin Ironpaw. She introduces herself and gets right into why she is there. "Sungshin, what can you tell me about 2 sisters that supposedly look like me. Medelys and Christene are their names"
"Oh my stars, yes they are here every day, I haven't seen them today but there is so much foot traffic here that they might have came I just missed them. They are the sweetest. Medelys is a bit brash at times, but she means well. Complete opposite from her twin sister, always polite and soft spoken. Go to see Jogu the Drunk, by the pond. The girls go to visit him often. I think they feel bad for him because no one really likes to go near him. I think because they all think he smells bad. It was very nice to meet you and I hope you find them. I love family reunions"
"Sorry Mrs. Ironpaw, I still have yet to find out if these girls are actually my sisters, Thank you for the info." says Mishel and goes off to find Jogu

Jogu, is a Jinyu that hangs out by the pond in Halfhill. Indeed no one likes to go near him because he smells really fishy and flies have become his best friends. "Oh Christene, is it Hallows End already? You have dressed up as a very convincing hunter." says Jogu. "Oh no Mr Jogu, my name is Mishel, but that is actually the reason I've come to see you, please tell me more of this Christene and Medelys. People are telling me that I am a dead ringer for being their sister, I have not met them and never heard of them until this morning"
"Oh I apologize, but in all honesty it is a very good compliment. Christene is one of the nicest people I know. She comes to sit and talk with me when noone else will, she shares stories with me of her day and brings me lovely apples she finds around Sunsong Ranch, They are my favorite. I know Medelys only comes around because her sister makes her feel guilty. Our conversations usually consist of her telling me that I smell and I should take a swim in the pond to try and get clean and maybe people will come to visit me more often. It hurts my feelings, but she always speaks her mind and I respect that. I can't do anything about my smell. Its a curse."
"That is terrible! she seems mean. But Christene seems like a sweetheart. I must find them, do you have any idea where they might be?"
"I usually see Christene later right before the sun goes down. But I know she tends to her farm before she comes to see me. Farmer Yoon might know a more specific time, when she visits halfhill. I hope he has better information for you then I had. Good luck finding your sisters"


Farmer Yoon greeted Mishel and asked her if she wanted to start up a farm. She kindly declined and told him she would probably be interested in starting one in a couple of days. but needed some information about Christene and Medelys. "Ahhh yes, I haven't seen them today but it is too early, they usually come later on in the day."
"Anything more you can tell me about these two? besides the fact that I look and sound just like them, and everyone is telling me that they are my sisters"
"Well, Christene is the sweeter of the two, before she leaves she always give me a kiss. and Medelys always spends a lot of time with Dog. She has a way him that Ive never seen before. Out of all the people that come here and try to play with him, he never does with anyone but her." says Farmer Yoon.
Just then Dog comes right up and starts licking Mishel's hand. she kneels down and he jumps right on her and starts licking her face. "Oh my dear, that is how he reacts to Medelys. Either he thinks you're Medelys or he can sense that you two are related".

Mishel laughs "Well Farmer Yoon. the more I find out about these girls the more I think Dog, you and everyone that knows these twins are right. But there is only one way to find out. I have to speak to them myself and poke into family questions. If you don't mind, can I wait here for them? I'll tell you what, To kill time, I'll start up a farm".
"Oh that would be splendid!

After Mishel plants her first ever seeds in the soil she sits in a broken wagon blocked by overgrown weeds and waits till Farmer Yoon lets her know when Medelys or Christene arrives.

L90etc groupies (pt 2)

So after the band's set, before their bodyguards snatched them from crazy fans, Christene had gotten to trade pleasantries with Mai'kyl. She ran back and pulled us far enough away from earshot of others.

"So get this, they stay at Silvermoon City between concerts, usually on the balcony of their loft in the Walk of Elders.  He told us to go there and he'll give us a message somehow, on when and where their next venue will be."
"How long do we have to wait to go there? put up a Mage portal and lets go there now and wait for them! Come oooooooon" Spammusubi whines.
"Calm yourself woman!" Medelys snaps back. She was almost gonna smack her she was getting all hysterical.
"Lets just go and enjoy the rest of the Faire and meet back here in an hour and Christene can port us then." Hellgurl says.
"Alright lets go" says Medelys
I had to do some stuff anyways, and whatever I didn't get done I can finish after we're done with our mission. Played all the games I wanted to for the day. Time seemed like it was dragging.
...
Alright that was an hour time to head back to the bleachers where I left them. "Where is my sister?... typical, she's always late. Well I'm not gonna hold this portal open for her if she doesn't get here. We're gonna do this without her" says Christene "She's coming, she won't miss this opportunity, I know it." I say defending my first friend I ever made. "There she is, don't close it!"

Her portal puts us all the way opposite where we have to go. Sadly Silvermoon City rules does not allow flying so we have to abide by the City laws and ground mount-up. I get out my Tundra Mammoth with 2 extra seats and Medelys gets on her Mechano-Hog with a sidecar. Christene and Spammusubi jump on my mammoth and Hellgurl jumps in Medelys' sidecar.
We rode all the way down to the Walk of Elders and stop a good distance away from the balcony.
"OMG! there they are!" squeals Spam
We all dismount and walk casualy down the lane not to draw too much attention.
On the bottom of the balcony, their manager  is there talking to 3 other people.
"I wonder if we can sneak by him undetected" says Christene. Then we all look at Spam and smile "Fine ya jerks! I'll hang back here, just hurry up"
"Wait!, I think I might have to stay back here too, Michael saw me at the Faire. He'll know I'm not just a lost tourist. This is your guys' city. He wouldn't question Blood Elves around here" I say to Med and Chris.
"Alright I'll go, Mai'kyl is expecting me anyways" says Christene. She walks around like she was going to leave the City, then glances over her shoulder and when they weren't looking she used her Blink ability and it put her right where she needed to be at the bottom of the balcony. Chief Thunder-Skins sees her down there. "Hey Mai'kyl, isn't that the chick you were talking to at Darkmoon?" Mai'kyl comes over and looks down, "Oh ya mon, she and her frens be wantin ta know where da next show be at. I made dis, toss it down." Mai'kyl hands Chief a Happy Fun Rock wrapped with a note. "Make sure you don't knock her out big guy" says Sig.
Yeah that would suck really bad if he had knocked her out, funny, but bad. Not only will I feel bad for my friend just getting beaned in the head with a rock, but we wouldn't find out where they would play next, haha. Happy fun rock made it down to Christene with no injuries.
Christene and Medelys made their way back to us and we all walked to the Bazzar to read the note wrapped around the rock. Trying not to draw attention to ourselves, we walked arm in arm to help the other contain our excitement. "open it, open it!", "Calm down cow!" Medelys snaps at Spam. Christene reaches in her pack for the rock and unwraps the note and reads it:
She wanted to see us.

Had a ticket, but lost it.

A land no one wants to visit anymore.

There she will find what she is looking for.

Travel by serpent gate.

Red land is all you see for miles

A time just before the sun goes down.

Try to appreciate the land while you are Out and about.

Here you will be when the World Ends

"What the heck does that mean? It's a bunch of cryptic jumble! we'll never figure this out! What are we gonna do?!" *Smack* Medelys' hand red from almost slapping the fur from Spam's face. "Ow!" cries Spam. "I told you to calm down, we can figure this out. Hellgurl take look at it, see if you can figure it out" Medelys hands the note to Hellgurl. "Hmmm, blah blah blah, Serpent gate, blah blah blah, Out and about, blah blah blah, Worlds End... the sounds kinda creepy, do they know when the world will end? Well Im guessing it's somewhere in the Outlands, a place no one wants to go anymore, red land is Hellfire, and there is a serpent at the top of the Death Gate." Hellgurl passes the note to me, and I look it over. "Shatt! look at the first letter of every line, SHATTRATH." Everyone crowds around me to look. "Medelys, isn't there a pub there called Worlds End Tavern?" Ah yeah, I had a couple of ales in there before, Holy cripes!, you guys figured it out! Lets go!" Christene puts up a port to Shattrath. We all go through and head for the Tavern.
As we're running down the ramps we can hear music playing already. "Omg! this is so awesome!" We stop at the entrance and look in to see if it's real and not just their music playing on the speakers. Nope! it was really them! No one is there. They'll be playing for just us and the tavern regulars. No crazy fans pushing and shoving us to get closer. Just a drunk ogre laying on the floor that we have to make sure we don't step on if we decide to get a 5man mosh pit going. I don't know if they gave the same cryptic note to other fans, but I feel special that even if we weren't the only ones, we were the first ones to figure it out. This Night will be epic, hanging out with my friends, and rocking out to a live concert of the best band in Azeroth... Level90EliteTaurenChieftain

Level90EliteTaurenChieftain



This weekend was Amazing!
I had so much fun with 4 of my best friends (Medelys, Christene, Hellgurl, Spammusubi) Because we are always busy with our own lives, we hardly get to hang out. So one day last month we promised each other that we would go to Darkmoon Faire when they come back into town, which is the first full week at the beginning of the month. The girls wanted me to plan it all because in their words, I was the Oldest!. Gee thanks! I knew they were just kidding, but they're not wrong... sadly.

The rest of the faire was awesome, don't get me wrong, but what made this week Epic was the last day of the Faire. Level90EliteTaurenChieftain Concert during the Fireworks closing ceremony was crazy fun. Everyone is waiting around for the band to come on and watching the fireworks. We were all sitting on the bleachers when the ground starts to shake, "holy crap! it's a trap were all gonna die!". "Spam! calm down before I crack you on the head with my mace, It's all part of their show". says Medelys. "Ohhhhh"
They started freaking out like screaming little girls. It was hilarious, partially because they looked ridiculous, and the other part because that's how I felt inside, but was too embarrassed to show it, I'm old after all, whatever. I watched the show while sitting down completely mesmerized by the one and only Sig Nicious. *swoon* He is so handsome, I felt color flush back into my cheeks.

Little did I know the girls were huddled in a circle whispering and plotting something that would forever change the way I thought of my social ineptitude. Medelys walks up to me and says "Skully! we have a dare for you... We dare you to go around back and ask to get backstage."... "Are you serious?, they wont let me in" I snapped back. "Ok, If well they refuse to let you back there then climb on stage and dance next to Sig,,, Unless you're too chicken... or Old, you pick"... "You guys are jerks you know that... Fine!" I can't believe I just agreed to it. I think I was still in shock or something while I walked back behind the stage.

Standing at the end of the ramp is the Band's Manager Michael Schweitzer. Of course he declined my request, which I knew he would. Now I have to get on that stage somehow. I went around to the front and started dancing in front of where Sig was playing. Trying to get his attention, I even found myself jumping up and down like an idiot just so he would look my way.

The next thing that happened almost made me faint right where I stood. Sig stuck out his hand and pulled me onstage. OMG! OMG! OMG! is all I could think of... I danced by him for what felt like slow motion eternity, until the bouncer jerks took me off stage. I didn't go kicking and screaming like I always pictured myself doing while getting drug offstage against my will, and getting ripped away from my celebrity crush. Whatever! I begged them to let me go back on and pointed out that it was Sig who brought me onstage, I didn't jump on myself. Argh!!!  FINE!

So I went back in front and watched the show with my girls and we rocked out like no ones business. I looked over to Christene and she had one of her devious looks on her face like she had a brainstorm that was ready to explode, all while her gaze was focused on Mai'kyl the Bassist. When she wants something, she will get it. And that was the look of a Frost Mage that wants something and in the end, will end up getting it. (to be continued...)
