Krypt has got to be going after Blazewing, Im so sure of it. Who knows, he might have caught it already and is on his way back to Tempest keep. No ways, I'll keep looking for him.
I flew around Mount Hyjal screaming at the top of my lungs. "KRYPT!!! KRYPTOVUS!!!...."
As I swung around Ashen Lake I hear a rumbling voice. "Heeey. Girrrl. Cooome heeere!"
I see Tortolla below and fly down.
"Hey Tortolla, how are you? are your babies alright?" the last time I was down here I helped save Tortolla's children. There were creatures in the lake corrupting the unhatched eggs, and I had to stop them.
"Ahh Deadskully, Thank you so much, yes my children are doing well. and the Corruptors haven't come back since. That name you were yelling, I've met the boy just the other night. He asked me if I've seen Blazewing flying around lately. I have not and he looked disappointed. He shared with me the situation he is in and I suggested Madam Goya might be able to help him out. He thanked me and left." says Tortolla.
"Please please please be here Krypt" I thought as I circled around the building. As I came around the front I saw Krypt sitting inside... Fricken Awesome!!! I found him, well thanks to Tortolla, but still. I got off Al'ar and went inside.
"KRYPT!!!!..." I shout "We're gonna get Babyskully back!" I sat next to him and explained the new deal that I made with Kael'thas. "All you need is just ONE bird... not two anymore!... Krypt!... look at me!"
"Im sorry Deadskully, I'm listening to you, it's just really hard to look at you and see her face... I'm so close to getting her back I can't have any distractions. Madam Goya has two birds up and the auctions are in the closing hours I can't allow someone to come in and outbid me again. I have no more gold to put up. Everything I have is riding on these auctions" Krypt says. I get up and sit right in front of him.
"I tell you what... I will give you the gold that you need to secure these bets. But you have to pick ONE I can't back your bids on both birds. " I tell him.
"I know. Madam Goya does not give a specific end time of the auctions so I can't just say I'll place my last bet at the very last second. I'm scared I will lose both of these birds." says a worried Krypt.
"It will be OK, this is the only place that people can come to the Black Market Auction House, so I will just stop someone from over bidding you by offering them something else... a bribe if you will." I tried to reassure him.
"Really?, you would do that? you don't even know me or Babyskully, why are you being so nice? asks Krypt
"Well I've lived this life for so long with no family. Yes I have friends that I do love and treat like family, but it's not the same. I've seen my friends find and get reunited with their family, and if there is a sliver of chance that Babyskully could be related to ME, I wanna find out. Even if it does cost me 300k gold. Ewww wait, thats a crap lot of gold for me to lose... let me go talk to Madam Goya" I say as I get up.
I walk over to the Auction platform. "Madam Goya?, can I ask a favor. Would you be so kind as to tell us, by the minute, how long two of your auctions are up for?
"Oh my dear you know I can't do that, It would not be fair to my other customers."
"Well wouldn't this show you how desperate this poor Orc is? He really really wants 2 of your birds that are up for bidding right now... What birds are up anyways?" I just realized now that I have no idea what Krypt is bidding on.
"Smoldering Egg of Millagazor and Flametalon of Alysrazor" says madam Goya.
Krypt puts his head down, and my jaw dropped. "WHAT? ARE YOU FRICKEN SERIOUS?!?!?! Madam Goya, you have crappy stuff on the Auction House all the time and now you have both of these expensive birds up at the SAME TIME!?!?!? ARE YOU NUTS??!?! Way to spread around the good stuff!. What if I wanted to buy one of these? Oh, I can't because I spent my gold on the other one!" I say with an extremely sassy tone.
The only reason why I was upset was because every time I come in here Madam Goya always has rubbish up for bid. Brawler's Guild Bloodsoaked Invitations, ugly plate and leather clothes. I can't wear those?!?! But if Krypt wasn't in a bind and I didn't offer to back him with my gold, I would be bidding on one if not BOTH of these Birds. They are amazing birds, and I know Kael'thas will accept either one.
Madam Goya was not happy with my rant to her and she let me know it: "Excuse me little girl, you need to learn to gather all your information before you speak. You see your friend Kryptovus came here and asked if I had anything in my inventory that he was looking for. he explained to me his situation and I'm a sucker for stories such as the one he told me and I agreed to put BOTH Millagazor and Alysrazor up for him to bid on. I can't control what other's will bid on it and he understood that. I'm a business woman my dear. I can bend the rules but I will not break them. I normally mark my auctions up 30% then what I had paid for them. In this specific case, I put it up for 50% less then what I had paid for them. Just to give Kryptovus a fighting chance to win. They are both sitting at 25% over what I have paid for them. I fulfilled my end and now you can see why he so worried. I will be sadden if he does not win, but I will not alter bids or auctions for him or anyone else." says Madam Goya
Just as she finished speaking a Goblin came walking in. walked to Madam Goya and let out the biggest squee, I've ever heard come out of a Goblin. "Millagazor!!!!, I needs it now!" says the Goblin, and he bids. He looks back at me "... I know what you want girl, but you're not gonna get it, If I have to hurt you I will" threatened the goblin.
"No sir, if you're only bidding on one that's fine, but please leave the other bird alone so my friend can win it, I know Goblins have a lot of money, but please don't" I beg
"Oh no problem, I don't want that one anyway. It's mean and it will most likely kill me the first chance it gets." explained the Goblin.
I chuckle, Thank him and walk back to Krypt and sit down next to him. About 45 minutes go by and I was getting extremely bored... Then Madam Goya speaks.
"Kryptovus my dear. Come here" says Madam Goya. she whisper's something to Mister Chu, her guardian's, and he turns and reaches into a box behind him. Pulls out what looked like a flaming bird leg. "This auction has come to a close.... and you are the winner of the Flametalon Of Alysrazor which will summon this magnificent Elemental Fire Hawk ... I hope everything works out for you and your lost one."
"Thank You so much Madam Goya, I hope so too! Krypt says as he pays, puts the Flametalon into his bag, left the auction House, mounted up and rode as fast as his Frostbrood Vanquisher could take him. He was off Tempest Keep and nothing was going to stop him.... "Oh CRAP! HEY WAIT UP!!! I yelled I was supposed to go with.
