Procuring supplies for a trip of unknown duration attracted some strange questions, and put me in touch with strange merchants. And to whom do these merchants owe their livelihoods? The wretches, the villains, the unscrupulous… But it still came as a surprise to see him, even if it shouldn’t have. Drek’tal: as strong, jagged and […]

In the darkness with you.

The tribe has dispersed. I suppose I didn’t see the signs because I never cared one way or another. Senses heightened elsewhere led to distraction. I’ll settle in Orgrimmar for now. I won’t return to Sen’jin, nor the Undercity. Time for a fresh start. It wasn’t pertinent to involve myself in the inner workings of […]
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.

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 […]

How soon is ‘now’?

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 […]

Life has been depressing these last few months. I found work creating potions in a Dalaran laboratory. Most of the time, the requests are simple. ‘I need something for my health’, or ‘I’ll take an order of Troll’s bloods, please’. It’s often formulaic grunt work that gets me into a conscious coma: ‘Work, work’ as […]
The business of being in business.

Now that I’m somewhat settled, I’d like to maintain this lifestyle. Right now I am dipping too far into my meager savings to continue living at this pace. The solution, of course, is to start work again, but I’ve hit a hurdle: It seems that as much as things change, they’ll always remain the same. […]
