I bid you farewell.

January 11th, 2011 · No Comments · Finding genesis

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.

Agony.

September 20th, 2010 · No Comments · Diary pages, Finding genesis

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.

September 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Finding genesis

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.

September 1st, 2010 · No Comments · Finding genesis

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.

August 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Diary pages, Finding genesis

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 […]

Death’s travelogue.

June 8th, 2010 · No Comments · Finding genesis

I’m not sure that I will live. I’ve no clear sign that I will survive my injuries. I’ve faced death before, but I’ve never been this afraid. I’m alone, heading home to people who might never welcome me again, and possibly dying in the arms of a stranger before I even arrive. Who would mourn […]

Ambush.

June 8th, 2010 · No Comments · Finding genesis

I suppose I should have been more careful. I suppose I shouldn’t have traveled alone. I suppose I should have remembered that I am not invincible. I’ve seen much and brought down threatening foes, but I’ve never performed such heroic acts on my own, and all these years of being buffered by the strength of […]

How soon is ‘now’?

June 4th, 2010 · No Comments · Finding genesis

We’ve all heard the whisperings. The news. The word on the street. Other trolls who pass by you now give a knowing and inquisitive look.“Will you join us?” “Are you coming?” A troll in Dalaran sticks out like a sore thumb, but there they are. And they speak with their skin and with their tusks. I […]

Senses.

January 12th, 2010 · No Comments · selfhood

Who, and what, am I? How do I describe myself. What words do I use first? Mage? Woman? Alchemist? Believer? Dreamer? I lay awake tossing and turning. Everything is in flux and I’m starting to feel it; a centripetal force pushing me forward. But to where? And what is the cause of it? I have […]
