Zul’ai’kah left yesterday, to begin her training in druidism. What was left of our father’s hut was crushed in the quake, and with it, her reasons for staying put. She’d never ventured off far, from what she’d told me. After I left, she feared loss greatly and couldn’t bare to leave him alone. It was […]

I bid you farewell.

Jatkai left this morning. I thanked him profusely for having saved my life, and he reciprocated his thanks for my having nursed his concussion after the quake. After a few awkward pauses, I told him that perhaps he’d be better off not being in the path of whatever whirlwind it is that seems bent on […]

Shattered.

I can’t even begin to describe the horrors. Our world has been shattered, and so too, has my chance of a new life.

Blood ties.

My father and I have always been at odds. I am sure that he forever curses the day that I first uttered a word, for not long after that, I learned to vocalize my disobedience. Father wasn’t deliberately oppressive or sadistic in his approach to raising my sister and I. We weren’t beaten, nor malnourished. It […]
Pained.

I have been in the village for days now, in a makeshift camp on the outskirts that houses hundreds of visitors and mercenaries. We begin the assault soon. I still haven’t seen my father or sister. Even after all these years, the thought of him still puts the fear inside of me. He made me: […]
Agony.

Rescued from death only to be tortured by my feelings? And here I thought I had spent the last decade cultivating a hard, hermetically sealed shell in which to place my heart! This place conjures up so many uncomfortable feelings. The ones I’d thought I’d buried long ago. I remember the ridicule, the derision, the […]

Brethren apparent.

Several days later, we arrive in Durotar. On the road from Northern Durotar, we came across a group. “Where are ya headin’?” “Sen’jin, sistah. ya be joinin’ us?” And so we walked together, setting out right after sunset. Night is falling, and yet we still walk. Eventually, we make it to the village. It looks […]
On the move.

Mischievous Loa, I can walk on my own. Comfortably. My ribs have finally healed, my hand is completely pain free, and I’m even walking briskly, much to Jatkai’s disbelief. “I heard ya Troll women can regenerate faster than us fellas, but this is ridiculous!” Oh, but I’ve never been one to stay knocked down for long. […]
Recovery.

Another day. Another test. Witchdoctor Zahb’bia pokes and prods me to see if my ribs have healed. I have come to remember his name, even though I vehemently hope that I will never be in the man’s care ever again. We will be leaving soon. I’m terrified. But I have come this far and almost died […]
Strange aches & stranger places.

I know this place. I’ve run across these tiles countless times before. The last time I stood here, I stopped to stare at the stones, and I cried. I was leaving the first and only place I’d ever called ‘home’. Now I am standing here again. Why am I here? Why am I being forced […]
