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.

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!!!!!!"
