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.
