Last Entry for Kahdrii

   

At the infirmary in Lower City in Shattrath, a Draenei priest rises from his kneeling position next to a prone figure.  He arches his back to release the muscles and his spine gives several cracks as they go back into position.  Movement catches his eye and he glances toward the entrance where three Draenei spoke quietly with Sha’nir who gestured in his direction.
The three Draenei moved in the priest’s direction with the one in the lead asking, “Are you Yaeras?”  He replied, “Yes, I am.”,  with a wary look in his eye.  The leader of the group continued, “I am Vindicator Kaan and these are Harbinger Kanuh and Harbinger Ayden.”  The two Harbingers inclined their heads toward Yaeras who returned the gesture.

“What can I do for you Vindicator?”, asked Yaeras.  “You do not look like you are in need of a priest at this time.”
“Indeed not.  I come bearing news for you.”, replied the Vindicator as he grips the package he has been holding a little bit tighter.  This does not go unnoticed by Yaeras.  “I believe you know one of our paladins, Kahdrii.”

Yaeras feels the blood drain from his face as he recognizes the folded tabard the Vindicator holds in his hands.  He looks up from the Vindicator’s hand to realize that the Vindicator had continued on, “It is with great regret that I tell you that Kahdrii has fallen in battle with the Shadow Council’s minions.  She completed her mission but upon her return, her wounds were so great that our priests were unable to save her.  The attending priest said that she mentioned your name and we found your letters among her personal affects, which I have here.  I am sorry for your loss.” 
The Vindicator extends his bundle toward Yaeras who takes it like he is in a trance.  Then with a salute, the Vindicator and the Harbingers leave.  Sha’nir who had been near the entire comes, comes over to Yaeras and puts her arms around his shoulders.  He looks at her with shell-shocked eyes, “We were supposed to meet up with each other in two week’s time.  Sha’nir, what am I going to do without her?”, he asks as the tears fall from his eyes.  She just holds him and tells him that he will go on somehow and that there are others around him who cares for him and will help him through this terrible time.

((Kahdrii died at level 66 in the Bone Wastes to 4 orcs (2 melee and 2 casters) )
