I am tired. After
leaving the Cenarian Expedition, I helped Watcher Leesa’oh with the Bog
Lords. It seems that their food source
was decimated so they were eating the Sporregar young. Leesa’oh was working on an alternative food
source and I did a lot of running around and gathering items for her. All that work was worth it as she managed to
create a new food source for them and they are now leaving the Sporregar alone.
After that was done, I went to Orebor Harborage to help them
with their ogre problem. The ogres had
just moved into the area and it took some convincing to get them to move
on. They aren’t very bright and it took
them some time to catch on that if they moved the killing would stop. A few more minor tasks for the Kurenai at the
Harborage and I left for Terrokar Forest.
I had heard that the Allerian Stronghold was having issues
with fel orcs and I offered my sword to them which they gladly accepted. The fel orcs where in the process of
expanding their hold in Terrokar Forrest and I helped convince them that it was
not a good idea. The peons were under
the direction of warriors and sorcerers.
I don’t know if they were there for the peons’ protection or to force
them to work but I would bet on the latter being true. We did discover a connection between the fel
orcs and a group of blood elves. The
blood elves are up to something in a place called Firewing Point and I’ve been
asked to discover what it is. This is
going to take some time.
In the meantime, I delivered a package to Shattrath and was
roped into taking care of an orphan, Dornaa, for a few days. I basically just played big sister to her and
took her to places she would like to see and then return her to the orphanage
at the end of the day. It was a welcome
break as she wanted to see the Dark Portal which leads to Azeroth, Auchindoun
in the Bone Wastes and her brother Jheel, who was apprenticing with the
Consortium, at Aeris Landing in Nagrand.
We made one trip a day and she was delighted by all the sights and was ecstatic
to see her brother again as he was to see her.
On our return trip to the orphanage that day she spoke
wistfully of wanting to see the Naaru at the Exodar. I didn’t really think much of it but
something kept nagging at me in the back of my mind and I asked the matron of I
might take the child to Azeroth for a few weeks. She looked into Dornaa’s excited face and
relented.
The next day I picked Dornaa up from the orphanage and we
made our way to the Dark Portal again and the child was just about humming with
excitement as I took her hand and stepped through the portal with her. From the Blasted Lands we made our way to
Stormwind where I booked us passage on a freighter to the Exodar. Dornaa took everything in with a look of awe
in her eyes and a smile on her lips. It
seemed that everyone she came into contact with was charmed by her and
patiently answered her questions – of which she seemed to have a million.
When we docked at Azuremyst and walked off the ship, Dornaa
actually stopped speechless to stare at the crashed ship. This was the first time I had seen her not
have something to say and I urged her forward.
We entered the ship and made our way to the center where O’ros, the
Naaru, was located. She approached him
solemnly and they seemed to be communicating in some manner when I heard O’ros
in my mind. He told me that he sensed
something special about the child and I was to take her to see Farseer
Norbundo. When we reached the Farseer,
Dornaa approached him without reservation.
They stood observing each other when the Farseer spoke to me. He told me that he had not sensed such
elemental power in a Draenei in some time.
He was going to send a message to the Matron of the orphanage in
Shattrath to allow the child stay at the Exodar for training. I stayed with Dornaa until the reply came
with the Matron’s agreement and then I took my leave to return to Draenor as I
still had duties to attend to. Dornaa
gave me a hug and with tears in her eyes told me goodbye. I knelt in front of her and told her that it
wasn’t goodbye but farewell as I would return to visit with her when I could
and that she was to study hard as she had a gift that the Naaru felt was worthy
of their teaching. With a nod she
promised me that she would learn all she could from the Naaru and make me
proud. At that, I rose to my feet and
left for the return trip to Shattrath.
Tomorrow I return to my tasks but for now I sit here in the
inn with a drink contemplating the Light and how it touches all our lives. Was it the Light that led me to the orphanage
and Dornaa or was it just a random event?
I believe it was the Light and that faith gives me strength to do what I
have to do what is right to protect this world no matter what may come.
