First Fel Reaver kill

So this is how my first Fel Reaver kill went down:

After getting Dark Horse, I finally decided to make my journey to Netherstorm. I went though the Dark Portal and got on Heady. Dark Horse cant fly so I couldn't roll around on him. and I was not about to walk my butt all the way up there. That would be insane!
As we were flying I saw below me a Fel Reaver. I hate those things. They are ginormous demonic death machines that walk all around Hellfire Peninsula. The Burning Legion uses them as  sentinels to guard their forge camps where engineers are busy at work mass producing new Fel Reavers. I have never tangled with one of those.

Dags and I landed on a high enough peak that the Fel Reaver looks like a toy from up here. But I know he is nothing to be trifled with . I did have a mission to accomplish and getting killed by a one of those things was NOT on my list of things to do.  So we got back on Heady and took off. We flew a bit more and came across another one. Oh great, they are getting awfully plentiful. Pretty soon this place will be overrun with Reavers and nothing will be left of mortal Hellfire forces.
Oh what the heck, not like I haven't veered off my agenda before right? I take Heady down to the ground a good 100 yards or so in front of the Reaver.


When he got closer I sent Dags first. He chopped at it's feet but it wasn't doing anything. Great, I did bite off more then I could chew. My spells weren't doing much damage to it's legs either. If I pull Dags off, there is no way we can turn around and outrun it. It's too big and it has longer strides. Crap! Just as I was getting ready to call Dags back I notice the cage like chest piece it had. dripping from it was some kind of scalding fel liquid. It looks like the cage was protecting something behind it. I took aim and threw my shadow bolts directly into it's chest.





The Reaver stumbled back, the first sign of weakness since we've been trying to kill this thing. Knowing I figured it out, the Fel Reaver wanted to squish Dags like a bug. It picked up its leg and was ready to squish my Demon. I don't think so!!!... Demon form and Chaos wave into the cage was the killing blow and stopped it permanently... or so I thought. It stood in place for a about a minute. I called Dags back and it started to shake like it was ready to explode. You could hear nuts and bolts exploding out of their sockets, springs and coils popping off. I stood there and watched, like an idiot. It started to fall apart. Arms gone and finally no life left, it started to fall towards us.
Um Dags?... I think we should run...

Don't know why my legs didn't work I was in shock I guess cuz sure enough I stood still watching the thing come towards us.
"AHHHHHhhhhhh...." and I closed my eyes. The ground shakes when the reaver hit the earth, and then it stops. After the cloud of red dust settles, I open my eyes. A couple feet in front of me was the Fel Reaver's head. Holy Crap Balls!!!! that was close!
That was the first time I've ever killed a Fel Reaver. Once you know where to hit it, it really isn't all that scary.


If I have any advice for the engineers that are building these things, it's to get a better Chest piece for it. A good solid plate will stop anything from easily hitting it's main power source. It's like it has it's heart exposed with a huge target on it. I hope it will be a while since they figure that out. I know I ain't saying anything. I wanna kill more Fel Reavers, BUT I have a mission that needs to be dealt with.

 

Got back up on Heady and out of Hellfire Peninsula we rode... 

Next stop Netherstorm!!... Oh wait Zangarmarsh!

Dark Horse my Dreadsteed

I took the portal to the Blasted Lands from Orgrimmar because I needed to get to Death's Gate. Then go through the gate and make my way back to Tempest Keep and see if Keal'thas was back from his "recoup". If he was then I was going to go and find Kryptovus and help him get back Babyskully.

Weeeell, I kinda got sidetracked, that tends to happen alot, and ended up exploring the Tainted Forest just west of the Blasted Lands. Ewww, a bunch of tainted Spiders, Bears, and Bats roam around there. Eerie fog that hangs just below the tree tops makes this place even more creepy. I kept flying north through the forest and a gray clearing with a bunch of scary Demons was at the end of it.



We flew high enough to make it past all those guys undetected and in the front of what looked like some kind of Alter surrounded by piles and piles of skulls, was a Demon that looked like he was getting ready to kill a Human Warlock. Should I save him? He's human and I don't really want to... If I do, he might end up trying to kill me. Pshaw! he can't kill me. Yeah, I'll go save him...
Dags and I were hiding behind a crate waiting for the right moment to go. I tried to listen to what the conversation was about and when it looked like the Demon was starting to get hostile, we jumped out from our hiding spot and I sent Dags in. All it took was one Shadowbolt and he was dead!



 Dags stopped, looked down at the demon's chest piece, kicked it to make sure he was really gone, shrugged and came back to my side. We walked towards the Warlock. My palms up in front of me to show him that I wasn't there to hurt him.
"Thank you so much, You are certainly a long way from home, Undead." says the man
"Not really, but OK I guess." I reply "My name is Daio, I suppose that you have come to learn of suppression and control. I will teach you much more than that... you will also learn of sacrifice."

"I was just flying around here exploring the forest and it just looked like the demon was being a bully and I really wanted to kill it... I don't really need to learn anything, I'm awesome at suppressing things I wanna say, liiiiike I wanted to tell this troll the other day to "shove it", but I suppressed that. OH! and I controlled my anger by not punching him in the face... right there, suppression and control... done!... err but What would I sacrifice?" I say to Daio with a smugness that was asking for a slap.
"That's not exactly what I meant. But the sacrifice will be the choice of the demon you wish to conjure and enslave. We wield dark powers and we pay grossly for the use of said powers." explains Daio
"How can I conjure a demon?, wait I already have a Demon. Dags, the only Demon I ever need, ohhh you mean like enslaving a random Demon just lurkin about?" I ask
"Yes, but we must first craft a prison to confine the beast, if you wish to progress further." says Daio
"Sorry Daio, Dags is all the Demon I need there is NO demon stronger then him that I wish to have fight beside me for a short amount of time. Once the prison wares off don't they turn on the ones that enslaved them, if not recaptured? I ask. "Yes they will" replys Daio
"Yeah, then no thank you" I say
"Alright but I must reward you with something, you saved my life. What do you wish for Warlock? Name it?" Insists Daio
"Are you serious?... weeeeell I like to collect all sorts of riding companions.... Daio the Decrepit, I Wish to have a New Mount!"
"As you wish Miss Deadskully, but you will have to slightly work for this one. The Doomguard Destroyers that fly around these areas must be killed and pieces taken off their corpses. I will need 5 Hoves, 3 Hearts, and 9 Horns from them. Once you bring these back to me I will Summon the will of the Burning Legion and create your mount known as a Dreadsteed. These Dreadsteeds only serve as mounts to the Dreadlords, but this one will belong to you. If anyone asks where you got it, tell them nothing. If you disobey this one rule your Dreadsteed will no longer exist as I will have control of banishing it forever." explains Daio
"Oh heck no I won't say a word!, ok lemme go collect my horse ingredients and I'll be right back" I say as I run to get all the things I need for Daio to make me my very own horse. So excited!!!
"What up Doomguard! DIIIIIEEEE!!!"

Got all the things I needed and went back to Daio. He walked over to the freaky alter, pushed off a skeleton, boar and stag head and layed out all my items on the stone slab. He waved his staff around as he spoke in demonic tongue, his eyes turned glowy green, and the alter lit on fire and was engulfed in green flame. I hope this was planned because that was hard work getting all that, only to be burned to a crisp for nothing? greeeeaaat!
The flames went from green to yellow and finally to normal fire color and then all that was left was a flaming hoof and horn. Daio grabbed both items and gave me the hoof and he kept the horn.
"This horn I will keep if you break your promise to keep his origin a secret and this hoof is yours to summon and dismiss your Dreadsteed." says Daio
"Oh my gosh Sir Daio, thank you so much. Trust me you will never be hearing from me again my lips are sealed" As I said my last words to Daio I summoned for my Dreadsteed. So hot when first summoned the ground ignites and stays noticeably hot until it cools down, but my new Dreadsteed is cool to my touch.
I turn and leave Daio.

This is MY Dreadsteed I decided to name "Dark Horse" and no one will know how I got him.

I bet you're thirsty, being made of fire and everything, drink!

Turtleshell Protection and Scary bridges

Following link is one of the first stories I ever made. I decided to link it because it was the first time I talk about Deadskully's fear of the Thunderbluff bridges. I wasn't great at taking screenshots back then and there is just one pic in that story. Boring IMO... the screenies MAKE the stories :-)
Click to read:   "New Friend Bageezus"

Dags and I decided to go catch some fireflies down in the marshes in the Heartland. I took out a crystal vial from my bag ready to put one in there. Those darn things were too fast for me to try and catch them with my hands. I remembered I had some Netherweave cloth in my bag so I decided to make a Netherweave net and try to catch them that way. My first attempt was terrible, and the net went straight into the water. Fail! As I went to retrieve my net I tripped over something. "What the crap!" and *splash* into the muddy water I went. Dags came over and swiped at it, sending it flying towards the bunch of fireflies scaring them all away. *sigh* alright no flashlight butt bugs for me today.


I went to see what it was. A turtleshell!! COOLNESS!!!  Just to be silly I stuck it on my head. It kind of fit perfectly. Sweet!!! and although Dags used his blade to swipe it out of the mud, I didn't see a scratch on it. Hmmm not only will this protect my hair from getting messed up but it'll keep my head safe from harm too! I felt like I could do anything with the turtleshell on my head.
I tried to think of some dangerous stuff I could do with this. I GOT IT!!! I was always fearful of the bridges leading to the different rises in ThunderBluff. I got out Heady, my Headless Horseman mount, and flew to Two Moons. One good thing so far with this shell is that it doesn't get my pigtails all frizzy while flying. Keeps hair under control... check!




When we got to Two Moons, I went into the main hall and looked up. "Perfect!" I told Dags and pointed to the balcony. "I'ma jump off of that!"
Normally when I go up there, It's only to get to the other side to get to the Portals really quick and I just use Demonic Leap and I make it to the other side balcony unscathed.
This time, I'm jumping straight down.
I get up there and stand on the ledge. People at the bottom see me up there and start to yell. "jump! jump! jump!"
 "Shut up you jerks, mind your own business!!" I yell back... and they all laugh.
A little embarassed, but that wasn't gonna stop me from seeing if this turtleshell was gonna keep me safe.
Alright, here goes nothin... and I jump. In mid jump I thought this 'turtleshell won't protect my legs from breaking'... "Ohhhhh Crrrraaaapppp!!!"
I landed! and I was still in tact!..."Woot it did protect me!" I shout.
"Um that wasn't a far drop little lady... and nice hat by the way" says a Panda.


"Oh yeah, and Thanks, I found it in the marshes in the.... ohhhh sarcasm, I get it, haha jokes on me the idiot with the shell on her head, have a laugh ya jerk!" and I go back up the ramp making my way to the portals to the Old World to get to Thunderbluff.
So the bridges in ThunderBluff, going to the rises have always terrified me. It was never a heights issue cuz I can fly far above it. It was just the idea of a Bridge made of nothing but rope and planks of wood that sway in the breeze high above the ground. And the thought of it just snapping and me going splat on the ground scared the crap out of me. OK Dags, we'll go there and I will overcome my fear, and this shell will help. 

We go through the portal and it puts us in the Pools of Vision cave inside The Spirits Rise. I get back on Heady and we fly out. I have him land at the start of the bridge going back to Spirits Rise.  "mmkay Dags, lets go" Dags was following so close and I was moving so slow clutching on to the side of the bridge. A Tauren Runetotem guard was coming the opposite direction. He laughed as he passed. I felt terrible yet again and told Dags I wanted to go back. He helped me back to the start of the bridge and I sat for a bit trying to get up the courage to just get this over with. My mind started to fight with myself. The bridge NEVER broke before and so many walk over it every single day... stop being a whimp!, suck it up!, and just walk over the damn bridge you big baby! Turtleshell protection!!!
I can't!

Just as I was about to give up a glowy Panda appears in front of me. "Oh My God, is anyone seeing this freakyness happening right now? Hey! you're the Panda from Two Moons! but you're all ghostly and stuff now? did you try to jump off the balcony too?... did you die?" I ask the ghost looking Panda.
"No Deadskully I didn't die. Walk with me. I am but a figment of your imagination. You created someone to try and help you get over this hurdle. Minor hurdle really, and I am here to help you. And the only reason why you are seeing me in spectral form is because I can only manifest in solid form in Pandaria. Old World is not my land. When you saw me in Two moons I wasn't trying to be mean, or sarcastic. That really wasn't a far jump at all and I really like the turtleshell helmet you have. I need to find me one. Someday. And all that talking, look where we are. You walked the whole length of the bridge without injury and without thinking terrible thoughts of you falling and breaking every single bone in your little undead body."

"Oh My Goodness creepy ghost panda! you're right. WOOT!!!. I did it, we did it. I don't know what I was so worried about.

As I turned to thank the panda he was gone. A smoke cloud dissipated right where he stood.
I smile at the cloud and say "thank you" anyway. I look at Dags point at the cloud and he nods as well... That's how I knew Dags saw him too and I wasn't going completely nuts. Well only slightly nuts I guess.
Whatever!!! I walked over the bridge!!! I was so excited about it, I ran back over the bridge just because I could. 

This Turtleshell Helmet is hilarious. I've done dungeons and LFRs with it on. 

too funny.

Kryptovus to the rescue. Ashes is MINE!!!!!

Flying around Netherstorm and came across this floating fortress thing. Ima take a closer look. Ony and I flew to the door and I jumped off. Dags and I walked around the building and stopped back at the door.
Meh, didn't look interesting. As we turn to walk away, the most beautiful colored bird I have ever seen flies overhead straight into the entrance. "What the...?!?!? DAGS did you see that? I want it, I need it!!!!! I don't know what else is in there but you wanna find out?" I ask Dags. He looks down at me, grins and grips his polearms tighter. "That's my boy, lets go kill stuff and capture me a pink ribbon crappin bird."

Right when we entered we were swarmed by guards. Little time to react to them I sent Dags first. Wrathstorm and they were pretty much all on the ground clutching onto whatever little life and limbs they had left. I grabbed one of the guards that were still breathing and asked where the bird went. "Al'ar, the Phoenix God, will never be killed by the hands of a lowly undead. Kael'thas Sunstrider will not allow you to leave his Keep. You will... never... leave... Tempest...Keep... alive...."
"Well that was dramatic enough. and I don't wanna kill the bird, I wanna capture it!"
 We walked a little more down the hallway and into another room. Right above us was Al'ar. "Ohhh my stars!!! it's so beautiful!!!... I was in shock, I've never seen anything like it before in my life. It's so graceful as it circles around the room. The streams of pink it leaves behind it was amazing. I grab Dags arm while still watching Al'ar. "I want it Dags, help me get it please." He looks at me and nods, then turns and runs towards the ramp, and I follow.

It's too high!!! and it was too far away for any of my spells to reach also. "Hey bird!!! come closer!!! I'm not gonna kill you! I just want to keep you and ride you around forever! I'm very nice and I'll give you a very good home. Lots of bird food for you to eat!... I just hope you don't eat people because that will be difficult for me to get that for you... maybe, no I can do it... yummy people it is!!!!!"


Alright that wasn't working. Dags and I started to kill some Dragonhawks that were flying around the platform. All of a sudden Al'ar lets out an ear piercing screech... I cover my ears and turn around. Al'ar was coming straight for us. Dags turns and starts to slice away. "Don't hit it to hard Dags!... I need to figure out how to catch it. I tried to grab it with my bare hands but this bird was made of some kind of magic flame. Well this isn't working. I still tried to talk to him but he seemed like he still wanted to kill us. I pulled Dags completely off of the bird and told him to wait up the ramp. When Dags left, Al'ar ended up spitting out a fireball and from it grew a baby Al'ar. "OMG I want that one!" I yelled.  This one ended up trying to kill me as well. I started to get so upset I was tearing up. Not because I was getting hurt, but because I can't get this bird. I want it so bad! I looked back up at Dags and he was itching to stop the birds from doing anymore harm to me, so I just waved for him to come and he came and he finished them both. Ashes was all that was left where Al'ar was killed. I sat down and Dags knew I was disappointed so he came and stood by me, close enough so I could rest my head on the side of his leg.
As I was getting up to leave a loud voice comes echoing through the Keep halls.
"Al'ar!!! Who dares enter my Keep and destroy my Phoenix. Ashes is all that is left!!! Come to me intruder. Come to me so I can see your face as I destroy you in the same manner as you have done my Phoenix." Demands the booming voice. I looked back at the pile of ashes where the bird died, and the ashes wasn't there anymore. Hmmm very interesting.
Alright Im curious to see what this dude looks like, and I KNOW Dags and I can take him. We made our way through the building and finally into his chambers. "My goodness, he doesn't look so tough. We got this Dags.
"So YOU Undead are who killed my Phoenix? You do not look like much, but then again, so did the other undead that ravaged my kingdom. You shall suffer the same fate as my people. I will derive much pleasure from this."
"Whoa!!! hold up Kael... whatever your name is. I didn't come in here to pick a fight with you, I just wanted to steal your bird."
"Well then a deal shall be made. I have taken back the ashes of my phoenix Al'ar and they will be yours to summon and ride at your will... IF you can defeat me."
"REALLY? I get the Ashes of Al'ar to keep for myself, and all I have to do is beat you up to a bloody pulp. Are you sure, cuz this seems like no brainer, you WILL lose"
"Naive little Undead Girl, you have no idea who I am. I AM PRINCE KAEL'THAS SUNSTRIDER. Lord of the Blood Elves. I cannot be defeated. If you seem so confident that you will defeat me, put your Demon up if you lose" Keal'thas begins to laugh.
"Dags, I know we can beat him. I'm gonna take that bet. You're not going anywhere OK." I feel faint at the thought of my next words to Kael'thas but Dags looks confident and ready for the fight.
"FINE! DEAL! BUT DAGS AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE!" I yell.
"Very well. Goodbye Warlock!" says Kael'thas and he starts to throw all his magic at once. this didn't look good off the bat. I knew I was gonna need my Healthstones for this fight, so while Dags was keeping him busy, I created 3 of them. I tried to throw everything I had at him as well, but it was very difficult when he had a ton of stunning abilities. I couldn't move, cast, summon anything. I couldn't even cast Heath Funnel to heal Dags.

Screw this. I had just enough Demonic Fury to transform into Demon form. Sent Chaos Wave towards him and kept throwing Touch of Chaos. his health was going down very fast, but I ran out of Fury and Demon form faded. Kael'thas used Mind Control on me and made me turn against Dags. I was killing my own Demon!!!! I would be the reason why I just lost Dags. Dags was almost dead and after being mind controlled I would die shortly after.
Just as I thought I was done for, someone shouts from behind me "I'm coming Babyskully!!!!" an Orc Warrior comes charging from behind me interrupting Keal'thas' and breaking me free from his mind control. I consume my Healthstone, heal Dags a bit and use Shadow bolt and Soul fire on Kael'thas while he was focused on the Orc that came to my aid. He finally falls to the ground and I run over to him.
"I win, now give me the Ashes."

"Someone came to your aid, that wasn't part of the deal."
"Noooo! that wasn't my doing. You never stated I couldn't have help! Give me the ashes OR I will have Dags finish you off for sure!" I demand.
"Alright Warlock, take these ashes, keep her safe and keep her close. Many covet what you have just received" says Kael'thas as he disappears.


"Baby? I can't believe you're alive" says the Orc
"Excuse me? do I know you? no I don't so don't call me baby... duuude! Thanks for helping me though"
"Babyskully?" the Orc says as he takes off his helm.
"My name is Deadskully" I tell him
"You look and sound exactly like my friend who came in here and fought Keal'thas with me. I got mind controlled.... and I ended up killing her past the point of resurrection. I told myself I was going to get better at fighting and come back in here and KILL Kael'thas myself for what he did. He's not dead you know. You actually let him go when he disappeared. He WILL be back, and when he does, I will come back here, and keep doing so until he is no longer breathing, or until he agrees to bring my Babyskully back to me. I can't get past that you look just like her *sigh* My name is Kryptovus by the way" says the Orc.

"Well Krypt, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. And sorry I let the dude go, but now you can comeback in here and hope to get him to bring her back right?... or you can avenge her death yourself. Sorry I don't know what to say. Well you have my name and if you need me to help with anything you let me know OK." I say to the Orc as I pat him on the back trying to be a sympathetic as possible. All that I was thinking about was this girl that looks like me... sounded like what Med and Chris went through with Mishel. very interesting!
As I'm walking out I turn back to the Orc and see him kneeling down, running his hand on the ground. I was assuming where she had died... that's sad. Then he turns back to me, "You know, Babyskully was the only one who ever called me Krypt, it's nice to hear it again in her voice and from her face".
I'm sure I will be hearing from Kryptovus again. If he cared so much about her and felt that I look and sound like her, he will need that fix. The empty void that she left. He walks around aimless not knowing what to do with himself because she's gone. But knowing that there is someone out there that can help ease the pain a bit is enough. If Keal'thas was able to give me something that was killed, Im sure he can give Krypt back Babyskully. And I will help in anyway possible, after all he DID save me from losing Dags... by my own hands.
THE END!

I ran Tempest Keep with Krypt and Babyskully actually.

Ashes dropped, and Krypt passed!!!!

He passed, who the fuck passes on Ashes?!?!?!

Wildstyle's Birthday Goodies!!!... and junk.

My Bestfriend Calibre's hubby, Wildstyle, was turning a year older today and I wanted to do something for him. I have no idea what he likes so I just figured to get him a cake, cripes! everyone loooves cake! I figured that was too boring to just send him a cake so I decided to hide it. Who wouldn't wanna LOOK for their own birthday cake. haha
I was in Dalaran and tried think of where to hide it.

I looked up and saw the perfect place to put it! the platform on the highest tower in Dalaran! Brilliant!!! I mounted up on my brand new Hearthsteed which I named Coldstone and flew up there. Dags and I got off and placed the cake near the ledge. As I got back on Coldstone and went to take off, a strong gust of wind knocked the cake right off the ledge. Oh for cripes sake!!! OK forget that idea.
I needed to find another place to hide it. Ohh then I thought lets make this a bit more dangerous, Cali and Wild are always up for a little danger. We flew to the Ironwall dam separating Crystalsong forest and Icecrown and landed on the top... hmmm nope too much Big Bone dudes. They might end up smashing the cake. Then we flew down to the ground and placed a cake down at the base of the wall... perfect! as I was getting ready to leave I hear sounds of the undead rushing towards us. Oh crap! Scourge! Too much for me to handle, I ran as fast as I could and reached for my scythe, turned around and was ready to send Dags after them and throw down as much AoE as I could. Ummmm ok they didnt wanna eat us... they wanted the cake!?!?!?! I laughed so hard. I look at Dags and said "See, everyone loves cake, even the scourge" Now we gotta get out of here before all the cake is gone and they turn on us.
 Alright let's go and put it somewhere else. I find a good spot. No walking big baddies, and no gusts of wind to knock it off. I put the cake down and stay there for a minute to make sure nothing would happen to it. Kept my eye on that Bone Dragon flying around as well... it came around again and continued to fly around. OK We're good. We leave and go back to Dal. I still wanted to get him something else fun to play with. I mean cake is awesome, but once you eat it, it's gone. Meh I got it!




Dags and I made our way to Dalaran's number one Toy vendor Jepetto Joybuzz. His shop, "The Wonderworks", are well know for their quality toys that he and his assistants make with their own hands. He lets you try out the toys before you buy them which is good. As I browsed his toy selection, I came across a trusty copper racer. I played with that for a bit and it was fun. "OK This is the toy Ima get him!" I brought the toy to his assistant and he rang me up. When he said 30silver my eyes got wide. I dug into my pockets and turned them inside out and dusted the lint off my fingers. I forgot I spent all my money on getting the ingredients for the cakes I made I completely forgot I needed to pay for this toy.
Luckily I had other random junk on my bag so I just sold those things until I made over 30silver enough to pay for the toy as well as have enough money for the postage when I send him the toy. Thank you Jepetto!!!
I went straight to the mailbox and wrote my note with the hints of where the cake might be. And just to be annoying I sent him the rest of the random junk that was in my bag. hehe. And the cake recipe was enough for 4 cakes so I had an extra so just in case he didn't want to find the cake or if it was gone, I sent him another one to enjoy.
Happy Birthday Wildstyle... From: Deadskully and Dags.

Hearthsteed and Cali

I was in The Shrine of Two Moons today with the intention of going downstairs to see Elder Laio about trading in some of my Lesser Charms of Good Fortune for Warforged Seals. As I came out of the door by the Innkeeper, my attention was caught by several people cheering at a table playing some kind of game. It looked interesting so I needed to take a closer look.
"What is this game you guys are playing?" I asked the Bloodelf mage dressed in all red. "It's called Hearthstone, If you win 3 games you can get a Steed from Exotic Mount Vendor Mei Francis in Dalaran. She's only doing this contest until all the Steeds she has are gone. Only so many Steeds could be made from Hearths until the magic ran out" she explains.

"That's crazy! I MUST play this, teach me! I need another mount!" I got closer to the table to try and see what was going on. I accidentally hit the undead dude in the knee with the bottom of my scythe and when he jumped up in pain the blade of my scythe sliced off his ugly weirdo pony tail. I apologized, but he was so upset, he still yelled at me. He picks up his hair and shakes it at me "you know how long it took me to grow this, of course you do! you're undead as well, so you should know our hair grows 10 times slower then everyone else... Get out of here little girl, I hope you never get that mount!"
Dags and I ran all the way to the other side of the Shrine main balcony. I wasn't sorry, it looked like a dumb ponytail anyways. But what I was sorry about was not being able to watch them play and learn. I saw an empty table and as I was walking towards it one of my oldest and best friends Calibre was right in front of me on her brand new Hearthsteed!
"OMG!!! It's so beautiful!!! I want one!!! help me get one! peas and carrots!!!!" I had to yell over the swooping wing sound of her Steed. When it flapped its wings it felt like Sapphiron was blowing his frost breath on you... OK maybe not that intense, but you get the idea. it was chilly.
Cali got off and I gave her a big hug, I haven't seen her in a while but so many questions about the steed and the game overshadowed my excitement to find out how she was doing.
"Hey let's go sit over there at that empty table and catch up" I say with slightly an ulterior motive. and before I could sit down Cali says...
"OK and you don't have to worry sis, yes I will teach you how to get this mount after we catch up. You're sly, but I've known you for long enough and I know you all too well.  You love your mounts and will do anything to get them." she laughs.
"Not anything! I wouldn't kill for them, wait, yeah I would! Do I have to kill someone for this one? cuz I will... I'm kidding... maybe".

Catch up time: I asked how Wildstyle was doing, she said they're doing awesome YAY!, and his Birthday was coming up in a couple of days and she wanted to surprise him with something amazing! and that Hearthsteed was the perfect gift... Frick yeah it is!!!
She asked how Bageezus was and I had to tell her that we broke up. It was mutual and we're still friends. and I had to stop her from saying "aww". haha.
OK NOW TEACH ME!!!
As Cali was explaining to me how to play this, all the strategy was going in one ear and out the other, not because I didn't want to learn, but because I couldn't, it was too hard. I didn't understand anything. My brain hurt and I was getting so frustrated I started to cry. Thinking of never being able to ride that beautiful winged horse, never having the feeling of riding on an air conditioner all the time, Never have to worry about getting out my lantern in dark caves, And simply just adding another mount to my stable.

"Skully, you're not really paying attention to anything I'm saying, focus and you will get the hang of it. Don't give up, this isn't the Skully I knew! She's not a quitter, She's not soft, she doesn't cry at little thing's like this. Boohoo, you're having a tough time right now but you think everyone was awesome at this game when they started... NO!, so suck it up! stop acting like a little baby crying over her My Little Pony and FOCUS! We are getting you this horse TODAY" Cali's motivating speech definitely did something, cuz I paid attention to everything she said partly out of fear she was gonna make me cry again or hurt me physically.


We played for the next 2 hours. Cali helped me set up a flawless deck. I think that's gonna help me win. not the fact that I'm any good, but the cards that she set up for me seemed extremely strong. When I finally got the hang of it she said I was ready. I was so happy. Cali was so proud of me that she got up on the table and danced. I jumped up on the bench and danced with her. I don't know how to dance, I pretty much just sway back and forth pretending like I'm a genie coming out of a lamp or something
Anywhos!
As we were dancing I get pushed off the bench from behind.

"Are you two done? Yeah? well move it! Other people would like to play too you know." says a snotty Bloodelf Warlock. "Im sorry, I didn't know there was a line forming. Cali did you see a line forming, or did anyone come and ask to play?" I say as sarcastically as possible.
"I did not. Might have been the invisible line that only extremely rude Belfs can see." says Cali.
"Ugh whatever, go take your gross rotting zombie flesh somewhere else" says the snooty girl.
Cali pulls me to the side. "Skully you can take her, let her be the 3 battles you're gonna win for that mount... it will make that mount all the more special, you got it by beating a, and pardon my french, a huge poo face!"

"Uhh pardon what french, Poo face? that's swearing to you. haha... alright I will take on this, and pardon my french, this twat, and beat her with her own stupid twat crown, and then let Dags beat on her stupid twat observer minion with his own stupid twat squiggly tentacles... that made no sense and I apologize for my mild swearing and excessive use of the word twat. Let me at her!!!... I challenge YOU!!!! Your name is Brightelf?... more like dim elf.!" I look back at Cali after my awesome burn. and Cali had her face in her hand and was shaking her head in embarrassment. "What? I thought that was a good one" I say.

"It was so bad, but you have to focus... you want that Pony, you're gonna have to earn it... now beat her! screams Cali.
OMG, the first 2 rounds were so painful both of them I lost within 5 hit points. I want that mount, I want that mount. AHHHHHhhhhhh.....
3rd game, I must have went into beast mode or something, I smashed all her cards so quick, she didn't really have time to know I just wont a game.
And the next 2 went like the first 2 but the only difference was, I was the winner... and I pulled off the best, underdog comeback since those Crimson Stockings guys a while back (Red Socks, get it, ahhh I crack me up!). But anywhos. It didn't hit me right away. I just won,
HOLY CRIPES!!! I JUST WON MY HEARTHSTEED!!

Gimmie Gimmie!!! I ran straight to my mailbox and got my scroll, dug in my bag for my Dalaran port ring, ran to Mei and gave her my scroll. She reached into a box behind her and pulled out what looked like an ordinary hearthstone. She told me to hold it with 2 hands. The stone got cold and I let it go, It hovered in place for several more seconds then from the stone a bright blue light revealed my mount. OMG!!! it's so beautiful!!! I mounted up, grabbed out my hearthstone and got ported back to 2 Moons ran to where I left Cali and she was there waiting for me on her horse. Thank you soooooo much for helping meeeeee!!!!. I cried like a baby.
No surprise there.


Alrightee time go ride him so we can get used to eachother. Cali told me she heard that these horses like to fly really high because of the cold climate at higher altitudes so stay close to the ground then I ride him. Okies! I needed to go back to the silken fields to make my Imperial Silk. As we flew closer to the mountain that splits the Vale of Eternal Blossoms from the Valley of the Four Winds, I realized we needed to fly higher to get OVER the mountain. When we cleared it, I tried to pull my horse down, but he kept going higher, and higher, and higher... oh for cripes sake!... I jumped off and popped Demonic Leap and meteored my self down to the ground safely.
While I was falling, I looked back up and saw my horse shrink back into the hearthstone it started off as. Maybe that's how it packs itself away... After I landed... the Hearthstone came directly to me. I stuck out my hand to catch it, and it landed gently on my palm, like it knew who it's new master was. Now to just get it to listen to me when I'm riding it, that would be greaaaat.
THE END


Story did drag on... but I had fun making it... and I know the placement sucks, but I'm too lazy to attempt to fix it :-) Oh and that lock was kind of a biotch in game for reals. she was at the table and I came to sit and she mounts up on her Mammoth blocking the whole table. I whispered "Im sorry" and she never responded. what a douche. I then told Bevy she was definitely going into my story. hehe
