Pretty much what it is. As some Disconnected and missed parts of it, I've cut and pasted in the chat log from the Howl.
Thanks for the great RP. Some stories are worth keeping written down.
Deliaris pre event notes.
I believe that for some it may be no surprise of what I will tell.
But where does one story start? It is before it ends.
Takes a deep breath and sighs.
I still remember the day, I had sneaked my way into the sentinels armory in order to lend a weapon.
Ah in all my eagerness, I took hold of a way too heavy polearm. And Caliyen, caught me.
But she didn't try and beat me up like Celegil probably would have done.
looks dreamily into the air
No. She taught me how to use a weapon as a weapon. She was not considered much amongst the sentinels, an outrunner, the youngest in her family.
So, I joined, - choose to follow The Way. Yes. I found out I had much in common with their way of life.
She introduced me to her huntress Thelnaya, and who then allowed me to call myself an outrunner.
When I was to train in hand to hand with her, she did not beat me senseless, like other might have.
*pauses for a moment*
As some of you may already have heard, she died in Northrend.
When we held her rite of the dream, many humans arrived. There I learned that she had been so much more. Guard and Captain amongst the humans. Many for whom she had meant a great deal.
So I howl for Caliyen Starbreeze, so that we too may remember her as a great warrior.
Event log. Didn't go all back to the beginning.
20:04:24 Cadenza looks to Sarama. She then let's out a sigh, furrowing her brows as she begins to speak.
20:05:36 [Cadenza]: I had a son, it was not long ago. It was a treasurable time. Life was great, I had my sister.. I had my lifemate.. And I had an amazing son. Me and I my son, Tanavarr Moraen.. We were travelling, trying to find a stable place to stay.
20:05:47 Sarama looks at Cadenza and drinks causally from her hipflask.
20:05:58 Ikaen frowns deeply.
20:06:19 Dewynee glances to Cadenza.
20:06:35 [Cadenza]: It wasn't easy. Avoiding attacks from Orcs, attacks from the wild animals around. We managed to make it. We kept ourselves up and we came close to Ashenvale, not feeling it was the right place to be we ended up going further.
20:06:51 Sharí frowns a little and furrows her eyebrows, gazing at Cadenza.
20:07:10 [Cadenza]: We went to a place called Raynewood Retreat, filled with amazing and skilled Druids. Not long after me and Tanavarr began to settle.. He.. Well, he fell ill.
20:07:11 Ikaen looks at Cadenza with a seemingly shocked expression, still maintaining his frown.
20:07:32 Alvaneesa nods slightly at the mention of illness
20:08:25 [Cadenza]: The Druids were confused to what was happening. They couldn't find a hidden wound, nothing infected. But he was ill.. Becoming weaker and weaker with each day. He was a blessing, always remaining strong. He always told me he was fine..
20:09:07 Fayena leans back against the word, watching the talking elf with a curious frown, scratching on occasion at her bracer
20:09:23 [Cadenza]: He always used to tell me that he was feeling better and better each day. We both knew we were kidding ourselves. Time was growing thin, and I had to make it last somehow. I packed a few things, an ran to the top of a hill with him, I made sure he safe..
20:10:20 [Cadenza]: Warm and such. We then began to watch the stars. Having just a imple talk. But I tell you now, you never know how valuable the people in your lives are untill you've lost them. Yes, he passed away in my arms that night as well.
20:10:55 Sarama nods slightly.
20:11:06 [Cadenza]: I howl for Tanavarr Moraen, for all of you around me to take in what I have said and to hopefully begin to treasure each moment you have left with everyone around you.
20:11:32 Cadenza throws back her head, she then lets out a greivious howl.
20:11:37 Ikaen lets out a hesitant breath before he tilts his head back and lets out a loud howl.
20:11:48 Fayena repeats the tapping gesture, clinking the metal thrice
20:12:06 Dewynee jerks her head back and lets out a howl.
20:12:15 Sarama thows a quick glance at Mehtomiel then looks back into the moonwell and begins to scream.
20:12:19 Alvaneesa clashes the metal of her bracers against that of her shoulder guards.
20:12:29 Cadenza looks toward Ikaen, shuffling a tad closer.
20:12:33 Mehtomiel howls
20:12:42 Deliarís looks a bit at Sarama, then lets out a clear howl.
20:12:54 Ikaen continues letting out hesitant breaths containing himself as he too shuffles closer to Cadenza.
20:13:15 [Sarama]: Important message.
20:13:41 Cadenza nods firmly, looking back around the Moonwell.
20:14:08 [Sarama]: In this time we fight to keep what we have, but do we really appreicate it?
20:14:22 Mehtomiel looks at the moonwell thoughtfully
20:14:41 Cadenza purses her lips slightly, then looking to the Moonwell.
20:14:59 [Alvaneesa]: I have noone so close as that, but I have come close to death myself of late. I have learnt to appreciate what I have and that which remains to me.
20:15:12 Ikaen continues too stare downwards.
20:15:14 Cadenza smiles at Alvaneesa.
20:15:32 [Fayena]: it is often stunning, quite how differently things appear because of a few, apparently simple changes in perspective
20:15:42 Sarama nods slightly.
20:16:20 [Sarama]: An other has spoken. More has yet to howl. Who want to share their howl?
20:16:53 Deliarís nods at Sarama
20:17:01 [Sarama]: Deliaris?
20:17:02 Mehtomiel turns to look at Deliaris
20:17:05 [Deliarís]: I can share mine.
20:17:15 Sarama nods.
20:17:22 [Sarama]: The word is yours then.
20:17:44 [Deliarís]: I believe that for some of you it may be no surprise of what I will tell.
20:18:07 [Deliarís]: But where does one story start? It is before it ends.
20:18:21 Deliarís takes a deep breath and sighs.
20:18:31 Mehtomiel glances over her shoulder and nods slightly
20:18:34 Sarama drinks from her hipflask as she watches Deliaris.
20:18:37 [Deliarís]: I still remember the day, I had sneaked my way into the sentinels armory in order to lend a weapon.
20:18:50 Eiros nods, a polite smile on his face
20:18:50 Sharí looks at you.
20:18:54 [Deliarís]: Ah in all my eagerness, I took hold of a way too heavy polearm. And Caliyen, caught me.
20:19:05 Sarama grins.
20:19:06 [Deliarís]: But she didn't try and beat me up like Celegil probably would have done.
20:19:15 Mehtomiel snorts
20:19:17 Sarama huffs.
20:19:26 Ikaen quietly clambers up, gently folding his arms.
20:19:27 Deliarís looks dreamily into the air.
20:19:42 [Deliarís]: No. She taught me how to use a weapon as a weapon. She was not considered much amongst the sentinels, an outrunner, the youngest in her family.
20:19:43 Fayena raises an eyebrow, readjusting her seat as she sips her flask
20:19:57 Mehtomiel forms a few words soundlessly, catching Sarama's eyes
20:20:03 [Deliarís]: So, I joined, - choose to follow The Way.
20:20:11 Alvaneesa shifts slightly, shrugging her shoulders to let her armour shift into a better position.
20:20:15 [Deliarís]: I found out I had much in common with their way of life.
20:20:27 [Deliarís]: She introduced me to her huntress Thelnaya, and who then allowed me to call myself an outrunner.When I was to train in hand to hand with her, she did not beat me senseless, like other might have.
20:20:31 Sarama nods slightly back at Mehtomiel with a grin.
20:20:41 Deliarís pauses for a moment.
20:20:52 [Deliarís]: As some of you may already have heard, she died in Northrend. Her spirit torn from her body, by the blackest of magic.
20:21:20 [Deliarís]: When we had learned that she was dead, we held her rite of the dream. To my astonishment, many humans arrived.
20:21:22 Cadenza frowns.
20:21:47 [Deliarís]: There I learned that she had been so much more. Guard and Captain amongst the humans. Many for whom she had meant a great deal aswell.
20:21:59 [Deliarís]: So I howl for Caliyen Starbreeze, so that we too may remember her as a great warrior.
20:22:33 Deliarís pauses for a moment taking a deep breath.
20:22:55 Deliarís leans her head back and screams into the sky.
20:22:59 Sarama nods slightly at Deliaris and then begins to scream into the moonwell.
20:22:59 Mehtomiel nods slightly, then turns her head back and howls
20:23:00 Cadenza throws back her head, she then let's out a ferine howl.
20:23:04 Sharí let's out a faint hiss, tilting her back to howl out loudly.
20:23:10 Dewynee jerks her head back, letting out a cry.
20:23:15 Alvaneesa nods then raises her face the the sky and howls loudly.
20:23:28 Ikaen lets out a mild howl.
20:23:34 Fayena taps her wrists, nodding slightly
20:23:37 Sarama waits for the howling to die down before speaking.
20:24:17 [Sarama]: I never knew Caliyen, but she did leave a good impression on me. A soldier. No more, no less.
20:24:36 Mehtomiel nods
20:24:36 [Sarama]: I do know Celegil though, she wouldnt have beaten you up. She would have given you a warning.
20:24:44 Mehtomiel smiles drily
20:24:44 Sarama chuckles.
20:24:56 Deliarís eyes Sarama.
20:25:59 Deliarís shakes her head a bit.
20:26:25 [Alvaneesa]: I never knew your Caliyen but I have heard her name. And what I have heard speaks well of her. Her parting brings sorrow.
20:26:41 [Sarama]: I did always feel abit less concerned about the way of malorne when she is no longer there.
20:27:31 Sarama nods slightly and throw a glance at Eiros.
20:27:47 Eiros looks up his eyes narrowed
20:28:05 [Sarama]: Welcome to the howl, some have spoken, some are still have their howl to share.
20:28:14 Cadenza follows Sarama's gaze, looking over her shoulder and nodding at Eiros.
20:28:31 Eiros nods and looks at the group
20:28:42 Ikaen stares towards the moonwell, sighing lowly as he adjusts his stance.
20:29:00 Eiros adjusts his robes and makes himself comfortable
20:29:22 [Sarama]: So who has not spoken and wish to do so?
20:29:53 Sarama drinks from her hipflask.
20:29:58 Mehtomiel glances around the moonwell
20:30:12 [Mehtomiel]: I will.
20:30:21 Sarama nods at Mehtomiel.
20:30:26 [Sarama]: You may shpeak then.
20:30:32 Mehtomiel stands up and smiles faintly
20:30:45 [Mehtomiel]: I never gave birth to any children, but I have helped in raising a few.
20:31:02 Cadenza looks at Mehtomiel.
20:31:05 [Mehtomiel]: There was one girl whose mother was a Sentinel, a good friend of mine, and she laughed when the girl took to following me around when I was stationed nearby.
20:31:16 [Mehtomiel]: We made jokes about it, how the girl was confused by the armor of Sentinels and thought everyone wearing it must be her mother.
20:31:29 Sarama smiles slightly.
20:31:30 Mehtomiel chuckles
20:31:37 Cadenza smiles slightly, biting her lower lip.
20:31:41 [Mehtomiel]: The girl, she was very silent. She'd do her best to not disturb me when I was on duty, and would hide nearby to watch.
20:31:50 [Mehtomiel]: I pretended not to notice, when she was smaller, but as she grew up, I sometimes looked straight at the place she was hiding in, didn't say a word - but she knew she had been spotted and had to do better.
20:32:23 Mehtomiel looks directly at the cat sitting near the moonwell and grins
20:33:02 [Mehtomiel]: Once I was out hunting, and I knew she was following me again. But just as I was aiming at a young deer, the girl slipped, made a racket in the woods, and scared the deer away. I looked at the place she was hiding in, then went back to hunting.
20:33:08
Sarama gives the druid a quick glance with a grin then return her attention to Mehtomiel.
20:33:32 [Mehtomiel]: I didn't see the girl for a few weeks after that, until I was again out hunting. I saw a fawn drinking at a lake and thought about going after it, but there was another hunting it already.
20:33:40 [Mehtomiel]: The girl had been standing very quietly, downwind of the fawn so that she was not spotted, and with one arrow, brought it down.
20:33:54 [Mehtomiel]: It was her first real prey, but instead of going back home to hear praises, she took the fawn and brought it to the shadows where I was standing.
20:34:04 Fribeloton waves.
20:34:06 [Mehtomiel]: Then she turned to go, but I told her that she should stay and give me a hand with the fawn, since it looked so heavy that one hunter could barely lift it.
20:34:08 Fribeloton welcomes everyone.
20:34:28 [Mehtomiel]: Together we carried it back, and made food from it. The girl didn't want any praises, and didn't let anyone else know who had caught the fawn.
20:34:38 [Mehtomiel]: But as young as she was, the next time I went hunting, I took her with me. Her mother laughed at that and said the girl was still too young, still a child.
20:34:54 [Mehtomiel]: Now I howl for the girl Talathiel, the daughter of a friend, and her first successful hunt - even though she refused any praise, and brought her prey to me, to replace the one she scared away.
20:35:11 Sarama nods slightly.
20:35:12 Mehtomiel smiles and howls loudly
20:35:24 Cadenza let's out a small laugh, throwing her head back and she begins to howl.
20:35:24 Fayena repeats her tapping gesture, taking a sip from her flask
20:35:27 Ikaen tilts his head and howls lightly.
20:35:30 Sharí smiles a little, tilting back to howl yet again.
20:35:31 Dewynee throws her head back and lets out a cry.
20:35:31 Sarama screams into the moonwell and begins to chuckle halfway through.
20:35:35 Eiros steeples his hands resting them under his chin, wincing at the howls
20:35:51 [Fribeloton]: only elfs here
20:35:52 [Fribeloton]: ?
20:35:59 Deliarís makes a pleasent smile at Mehtomiel, before she lets go of a howl.
20:36:05 Sarama glance at Fribeloton.
20:36:09 Alvaneesa smiles and sends a keening howl to the stars
20:36:15 [Sarama]: You are not an kaldorei.
20:36:17 Fribeloton waves goodbye to Mehtomiel. Farewell!
20:36:19 Fribeloton waves goodbye to everyone. Farewell!
20:36:24 [Sarama]: But this howl welcomes everyone,
20:36:42 Sarama shrugs slightly as the dranei leaves.
20:37:41 Sarama looks at Mehtomiel.
20:37:54 [Sarama]: Did you teach her any of your bad habits?
20:38:00 Mehtomiel snorts and laughs
20:38:15 [Mehtomiel]: She became a Sentinel, years later.
20:38:21 [Mehtomiel]: So I suppose I did.
20:39:53 Sarama chuckles.
20:40:30 [Sarama]: Many has howled, some have still not. Who wish to share their howl?
20:40:44 Sarama glance at Ithariel.
20:40:55 Ithariel looks at Sarama.
Logging started on 01/28/2011 at 20:41:09.
20:41:33 [Ithariel]: I don't believe I have yet earned the right to sit at this moonwell.
20:41:36 Mehtomiel smiles faintly
20:41:48 Eiros looks at Ithariel with a smirk
Logging started on 01/28/2011 at 20:42:09.
20:42:18 [Fayena]: not to mention, quite the point of a moonwell is that all kaldorei are quite welcome to it.
20:42:48 [Sarama]: But you may want to leave your stick in the dark.
20:42:56 Eiros looks toward Fayena his expression neutral before looking once again into the moonwell
20:43:18 Ithariel looks behind her to the right.
20:44:14 Sarama nods approvingly at Ithariel.
20:44:16 [Sharí]: Uhm..
20:44:27 [Sharí]: I do not mind to share, it is personal.
20:44:28 Cadenza looks at Sharí.
20:44:39 Mehtomiel raises an eyebrow
20:44:51 [Sarama]: All are. You have the word if you wish it.
20:44:55 Sarama looks at Shair.
20:44:58 [Sharí]: Thank you.
20:45:15 Sharí scratches her cheek lightly, slowly rising to her feet and smiling lightly.
20:45:30 Eiros looks toward Shari
20:45:45 [Sharí]: My name is Sharí Shal'ari Wildfang, at the other side of me is my sister Cadenza Wildfang. My story is similar to Alvaneesa, we may have experienced it when we were very young, or i hope not. Me and Cadenza both stayed together until this very day.
20:46:05 Cadenza smiles slightly, nodding towards Sharí.
20:46:16 Sharí glances over to Cadenza, snickering.
20:46:31 Eiros pets Wisp.
20:46:36 [Sharí]: When we were mere cubs, my mother, Erazia, taught us of Elune and the Druids. My father however was in the Dream, like every other male, so i knew little of him. I loved my mother very dearly.
20:47:00 Fayena rolls her eyes, taking a gulp from her flask
20:47:17 Mehtomiel dips her hand in the Moonwell
20:47:37 [Sharí]: We all travelled a lot, it was unt'il we came across a beautiful landscape named Azshara, cloaked in eternal autumn but tinged in oranges and reds. Of course, me and Cadenza soon sett'led in and lived with other Kal'Dorei's.
20:47:51 Sarama listens to Shari and drinks causally from her hipflask.
20:48:05 Cadenza tilts her head to the side, keeping her gaze on Sharí.
20:48:13 Fayena looks up after hearing azshara, curiously staring in the direction of the story
20:48:31 [Sharí]: We took liking to them, and so we called them our brothers and sisters, playing and learning. It was not unt'il local Orcs took residence near us, knocking down many tree's. Of course we were very angry, and so it led to many wars.
20:49:03 Cadenza furrows her brows slightly, her jaw clenching somewhat.
20:49:16 Sharí nods slowly, occasionally gazing at Cadenza.
20:49:33 [Sharí]: My mother led us to safety and told us to run, we did. As soon as i stopped for breath, I looked back and saw flames, but not my mother. I ran back, but the Orcs took over and i saw my mother lying on the ground, leaves covered her body and..
20:49:49 Ikaen blinks several times seemingly coming to reality, trying to place his hand onto Cadenza's shoulder and glance towards Shari.
20:50:33 Eiros notes the response of Ikaen and raises an eyebrow
20:50:33 Cadenza get's a hand placed on her shoulder, she glances up briefly but quickly looks back to Sharí.
20:50:37 [Sharí]: I knew it before i saw it, so i sat down and wept unt'il dawn rose over, Cadenza was very brave. Looking back now, i realise that life was very cruel and so we should be glad to have somene by our side.
20:51:33 [Sharí]: I howl for Erazia, a friend and a mother. For all those who lost a relative, i hope some day we can renew our misery, thank you.
20:51:57 Fayena chinks again, frowning as she does so
20:52:05 Sharí let's out a gust of air, tilting her back to let out a low howl.
20:52:09 Deliarís lets go of a simple howl.
20:52:16 Sarama begins to scream.
20:52:16 Cadenza let's out a deep breath, inhaling. She then throws back her head and let's out a low howl.
20:52:16 Ikaen tilts his head letting out a howl.
20:52:20 Alvaneesa raises her head and howls
20:52:22 Dewynee lets out another cry.
20:52:30 Mehtomiel howls, then turns back to look at the moonwell
20:52:43 Eiros looks to each in turn who howl
20:53:04 [Fayena]: that place will always be stained with death. It seems it finds new ways to make people suffer
20:53:20 [Cadenza]: Through suffering we grow stronger.
20:53:26 [Sharí]: Together.
20:53:42 [Fayena]: strength is never the issues, it when people know how to use it
20:53:56 Sharí offers a sympathetic smile towards Cadenza, rubbing her eyes and sitting back down.
20:54:01 [Ikaen]: Im sure she's proud of you two.
20:54:05 Cadenza
looks to Fayena, seeming to take thought to the words. She then nods firmly.
20:54:13 [Sarama]: I just wish we were given the order to march to ogrimmar and end the orcs once and for all.
20:54:26 [Sharí]: Indeed, it seems endless.
20:54:30 [Cadenza]: I think everyone would get way too carried away for something like that.
20:54:30 Eiros smiles approvingly at Fayena's remark
20:55:13 [Alvaneesa]: As long as the order waits until I am ready to fight again, I will be glad of it.
20:55:24 Mehtomiel smiles drily
20:55:28 Sarama grins slightly.
20:55:36 A sly smirk spreads across Cadenza's face.
20:55:42 [Mehtomiel]: You will heal. The war goes on, you'll have your chance.
20:55:49 Fayena sighs quietly to herself, taking another sip
20:56:07 [Sarama]: If I get you right, you wouldnt let a injury stop you from killing a few orcs. Were the order given.
20:56:18 [Alvaneesa]: Quite.
20:56:33 Deliarís stares blankly at the stone in front of her and next to Sarama
20:56:38 [Alvaneesa]: But I grow stronger by the day. Give me another few weeks and I will show them real fear.
20:56:49 Sarama drinks from her hipflask and grins.
20:57:06 [Fayena]: they breed like vermin, i would not worry, You shall certainly not be short of a greenskin to shoot when the times comes
20:57:06 Sarama looks around the moonwel..
20:57:07 Eiros looks at Alvaneesa then back to the moonwell
20:57:11 Cadenza lets out a dry chuckle, looking over at Alvaneesa.
20:57:22 Ikaen grunts lowly.
20:57:41 [Sarama]: Many have howled, there are still some left. Who wants to go next?
20:57:57 Ithariel looks around.
20:58:22 Mehtomiel raises an eyebrow
20:58:42 Sarama throw a glance at Ithariel.
20:58:44 [Sarama]: You?
20:58:57 [Ithariel]: I do have a tale to tell, yes...
20:59:14 [Sarama]: If you wish to share it, the word is yours.
20:59:19 Ithariel nods slightly.
20:59:37 Cadenza leans forward slightly, trying to get a better view of Ithariel.
20:59:52 [Ithariel]: My name is Ithariel Starbreeze. As you can see, I am young.
21:00:00 Sarama nods.
21:00:12 Mehtomiel smiles faintly
21:00:17 [Ithariel]: When the war came, I was too young to be admitted among the sentinels. I still am.
21:00:39 [Ithariel]: Therefore I was spared the fight. But I met those that did fight in the war.
21:00:47 Mehtomiel nods
21:00:55 Eiros tries to look around the rock of the well to see Ithariel
21:01:08 [Ithariel]: One of them found out that I had druidic talents. His name was Noonas Springwind.
21:01:29 [Ithariel]: He was a druid of the talon, one of many that awoke during the war.
21:01:59 [Ithariel]: He found himself unable to continue his battle duties, when he reached us, so he took me as his pupil instead.
21:02:30 [Ithariel]: We had our differences, that much was for certain. He used to say that I was worse than the Legion when it came to cooperating.
21:02:35 Ithariel smiles slightly.
21:03:03 [Ithariel]: It went on that way, until the sky broke open, and what is now called the Exodar crashed into the Western archipelago.
21:03:45 [Ithariel]: The sentinels went in first, since there were concerns about possibility of another Legion invasion. But it was found to be not so.
21:03:58 Sarama grunts slightly.
21:04:05 [Ithariel]: That was when the Cenarion Circle called upon Noonas.
21:04:39 [Ithariel]: He was told to go to the archipelago and scout the damage done to the nature there, by crystals that broke off Exodar.
21:04:52 [Ithariel]: He was reluctant at first, but he did obey his seniors.
21:05:19 [Ithariel]: He had one condition - that I could come along. He said that I could learn a lot from such a journey.
21:05:40 [Ithariel]: Of course, my mother protested. But he managed to talk her into letting me go.
21:06:30 Sarama drinks from her hipflask.
21:06:31 Mehtomiel nods slightly
21:06:33 [Ithariel]: So we left Darkshore, and reached Silvermyst. We arrived one month, two weeks and three days after the vessel crashed.
21:05:40 [Ithariel]: Of course, my mother protested. But he managed to talk her into letting me go.
21:06:30 Sarama drinks from her hipflask.
21:06:31 Mehtomiel nods slightly
21:06:33 [Ithariel]: So we left Darkshore, and reached Silvermyst. We arrived one month, two weeks and three days after the vessel crashed.
21:06:48 Sarama raise a eyebrow.
21:06:57 Ithariel looks at Sarama.
21:07:13 [Ithariel]: We were sent in only after the sentinels made sure we wouldn't be swarmed by demons on landfall.
21:07:21 [Ithariel]: That is why we arrived so late.
21:07:27 Sarama nods slightly.
21:07:28 Mehtomiel smiles grimly
21:07:29 Alvaneesa rolls her shoulders again, feeling at her waist for her hipflask. Failing to find it, she glances back at her sabre and tsks in disappointment
21:07:46 Ikaen seems to tighten his grip slightly on Cadenza's shoulder.
21:08:18 [Ithariel]: We scouted Silvermyst first. Being a small isle, it didn't take long; We found an abandoned household. There were signes of Moonking tribe presence on the isle, but they were long gone.
21:08:20 Fayena reaches down to her flask, and proceeds to attempt to drink from it - upon finding it empty, she sighs, attempts again in case, then replaces it in the carrier on her belt
21:08:39 [Ithariel]: Therefore, we reached the main island, Azuremyst, as it is now called by its denizens.
21:09:01 [Ithariel]: It was worse there, especially the more we got to the north.
21:09:08 Mehtomiel nods
21:09:40 [Ithariel]: We did meet the draenei on the journey. Noonas didn't trust them at first - when saw the first one, he believed he was seeing an eredar warlock.
21:09:50 [Ithariel]: It turned out to be untrue, of course.
21:09:56 Sarama nods.
21:10:06 [Ithariel]: The draenei helped us several times, until we reached Bloodmyst.
21:10:10 Eiros smirks then reaches into a pouch
21:10:43 [Ithariel]: We were surprised - shocked might be a better word - at the damage caused there. It was diametrally more pronounced than the damage on Azuremyst.
21:11:13 [Ithariel]: The worst on Azuremyst we found were crash sites that burnt the local flora, and scared the animals away.
21:11:36 [Ithariel]: In Bloodmyst, we found areas beset with what seemed to be corruption, though unrelated to fel energies.
21:11:45 [Ithariel]: The draenei called it "radiation".
21:12:09 [Ithariel]: The damage everywhere was extensive.
21:12:36 [Ithariel]: Nonetheless, we needed a sample of irradiated soil, and, if possible, an active crystal that caused the radiation.
21:13:10 [Ithariel]: Unknow to us, we weren't the only ones who took interest in such.
21:13:26 Sarama drinks from her hipflask as she listes to Ithariel.
21:14:03 [Ithariel]: The day we set out to get our samples, the descendants of the Highborne clashed with the draenei.
21:14:19 [Ithariel]: Needless to say, me and Noonas were ill equiped to fight.
21:14:28 Sarama huffs slightly.
21:14:43 Cadenza slides her hand up to Ikaen's trying to lightly tug him down, remaining silent as she watches Itheriel.
21:14:47 [Ithariel]: Noonas, having experience at warfare, however, insisted to help.
21:15:01 [Ithariel]: He was warned.
21:15:13 Deliarís makes a short startled motion, then turns her head forward to clearly see Ithariel
21:15:22 Mehtomiel grunts
21:15:28 [Ithariel]: The draenei priests knew that injuries he sustained in battles before did cost him his agility.
21:15:33 Ikaen gets pulled down keeping himself close to Cadenza.
21:15:38 [Ithariel]: But Noonas wasn't one of those who would listen.
21:15:56 [Ithariel]: As I said before, I am young. Therefore, I wasn't allowed to fight.
21:16:08 [Ithariel]: So I stayed in Blood Watch, and waited.
21:16:15 [Ithariel]: Two days passed, and nobody returned.
21:16:22 [Ithariel]: So I went on to search for Noonas.
21:16:34 [Ithariel]: It didn't take long to find him, if you knew what to look for.
21:16:53 [Ithariel]: He was shot down by a cursed arrow.
21:17:07 Mehtomiel grunts
21:17:15 [Ithariel]: Pinned down to a tree, unable to wrestle himself free, or to escape and at least rest.
21:17:24 Cadenza lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
21:17:36 [Ithariel]: How he survived for those two days is unknow to me. But when I found him, he was already nearly bled to death.
21:18:11 [Ithariel]: I tried to get him off the tree. I knew that pulling the arrow out of the wound would cause him to bleed more than he did up to that point.
21:18:17 [Ithariel]: But there was nowhere to turn to...
21:18:26 [Ithariel]: So he shifted his form one last time.
21:18:51 [Ithariel]: A hawk, a grand one. The arrow broke, and he, with a last cry, fell to the ground, dying.
21:19:02 [Ithariel]: I didn't wait for anything.
21:19:06 Sarama nods slowly.
21:19:14 Alvaneesa nods sadly
21:19:22 [Ithariel]: I picked him up and ran as fast as my feral form could carry me, to Blood Watch.
21:19:28 Mehtomiel watches Ithariel, waiting
21:19:28 Fayena glances are her saber by the tree, specifically the saddlebalgs
21:19:37 [Ithariel]: It was there where the draenei told me that he was already dead.
21:19:40 Cadenza curls her upper lip slightly, looking down to her hands with a small frown.
21:20:11 [Ithariel]: Noonas Springwind, veteran of the war, and tutor of a spoiled, young girl, was a kind soul.
21:20:26 [Ithariel]: This howl is for him.
21:20:39 Ithariel looks at stars and lets out a long howl.
21:20:43 Sarama nods slightly and screams out loudly.
21:20:46 Mehtomiel turns her head back and howls
21:20:52 Dewynee lets out a cry.
21:20:56 Cadenza looks up to Ithariel. She then throws back her head and let's out a mild howl.
21:21:05 Ikaen lets out a low howl.
21:21:11 Fayena chinks her wrists again, looking around at the others
21:21:13 Deliarís lets out a howl.
21:21:15 Alvaneesa lifts her head and howls to the sky
21:21:27 Eiros brushes a leaf from his knee
21:22:04 Cadenza purses her lips, looking over her shoulder at Eiros. A small frown furrowing her brows.
21:22:16 [Sarama]: Quite eventful times these recent past years. I dont think most of us even saw a fellow kaldorei be murdered before we gotten atleast 300.
21:22:28 Ikaen frowns.
21:22:42 Ikaen looks down at his hands.
21:22:53 Mehtomiel smiles drily
21:22:59 Fayena smirks ever so slightly, grunting quietly
21:23:32 Sarama looks around the moonwell.
21:23:52 [Sarama]: Many have howled, are there still those who want to share their howl?
21:24:46 Mehtomiel leans back and waits
21:25:00 Dewynee scratches her ear briefly.
21:25:19 [Sarama]: Things have been shared here tonight that wouldnt been shared lightly.
21:25:45 Ikaen remains silent keeping his head dropped with a flinch on his face.
21:25:56 [Sarama]: So there is no shame in sharing someothing of yourself, quite the opposite.
21:26:15 Sarama drinks from her hipflask
21:27:26 Dewynee bites her lowerlip.
21:27:32 [Dewynee]: I may have something to share.
21:27:45 Sarama nods at Dewynee and nods.
21:27:56 Dewynee pushes herself up on her feet.
21:27:59 [Sarama]: The word ish yours then.
21:28:00 Cadenza leans forward slightly, adjusting her position so she ie facing Dewynee.
21:28:11 Sarama looks at Dewynee.
21:28:13 Ithariel looks at Dewynee.
21:29:58 Sarama drinks from her hipflask as she waits for Dewynee to begin.
21:30:56 [Dewynee]: Hmh... I'm Dewyneé. I'm young and have not experienced as much as the most of you, most likely. A while ago, back in Darkshore, Auberdine, where me, my mother and father lived, I was standing on the harbour, just casually.
21:33:36 [Dewynee]: Looking across the sea, I saw a... Well, dot from the distance I was at. I saw how big waves began to form, and the ground began to shake, and before I knew it, it began to shatter. Seeing as the dot came closer, and closer.
21:35:25 [Dewynee]: The clouds began to look as if they were ablaze, while the dot just came closer, I saw wings, then the bridge shattered aswell and I fell into the sea. Once I got back to the surface, Auberdine was ablaze.
21:35:44 Cadenza blinks.
21:35:52 Sarama looks around at the faces of everyone around the moonwell, then looks back at Dewynee.
21:36:07 Mehtomiel nods grimly
21:36:16 Eiros casts a dark look toward the moonwell as he listens to the tale
21:37:02 Deliarís shivers.
21:37:28 Ithariel listens intently.
21:37:31 Sarama grits her theeths.
Logging started on 01/28/2011 at 21:38:45.
21:38:57 Sarama nods slightly.
21:39:06 Cadenza purses her lips, frowning as she looks to Dewynee.
21:40:44 [Dewynee]: I saw injured ones everywhere, some made it - Some didn't, such as my parents. So, I howl for the loss of the many fellow kaldorei of Auberdine.
21:41:13 Dewynee sighs quietly before she jerks her head back and lets out a cry.
21:41:15 Mehtomiel turns her head back and lets out a long howl
21:41:18 Cadenza throws her head back, she then lets out a long low howl.
21:41:18 [Eiros]: (low) Dark times...
21:41:30 Sarama grunts slightly and lets out a scream.
21:41:32 Ithariel lets out a long, pronounced howl.
21:41:41 Dewynee sits back down.
21:41:41 Fayena closes her eyes for a half second before tapping her wrists slowly
21:41:42 Alvaneesa nods grimly and raises her head to howl
21:42:16 Deliarís ponders for a moment, then makes a clear howl.
21:42:46 Sarama nods slightly.
21:42:53 [Sarama]: A great loss.
21:43:01 Ithariel nods.
21:43:28 [Deliarís]:
Yes
21:43:31 [Sarama]: Just last year, I didnt even imagine that we ever would lose Auberdeen.
21:43:35 Dewynee nods slowly.
21:43:51 [Mehtomiel]: I don't think anyone did.
21:43:53 [Deliarís]: So many friends died there.
21:44:07 [Fayena]: you never realise quite what it is to have your home intact, until you lose it
21:44:20 Sarama grins slightly.
21:44:26 [Sarama]: Just like Cadenza howled.
21:44:29 [Ithariel]: Me and my mother lived nearby, fortunatelly further away from the shore... We saw it from afar.
21:44:42 Sarama nods at Ithariel.
21:44:48 Cadenza smiles grimly.
21:44:52 Sarama looks around the moonwell.
21:45:11 [Sarama]: Many has howled, very few remain. Do anyone yet wish to howl?
21:45:26 Ikaen eyebrows furrow.
21:45:32 [Fayena]: i shall share, as i am here
21:45:42 Sarama nods at Fayena.
21:45:52 [Sarama]: The word is yours.
21:45:55 Mehtomiel nods
21:46:05 Fayena straights up, standing, and sighing to herself for a half second as she composes, before starting to speak
21:46:27 Ithariel turns to face Fayena.
21:46:28 [Fayena]: If you ask most people, they say they would do most anything to help a friend, or a loved one. Would sacrafice most things.
21:46:45 Sarama nods slightly,.
21:46:52 Mehtomiel smiles faintly
21:46:54 [Fayena]: A long time ago, liftimes ago, a...friend i knew did just that. When given the option of saving their lovers life and not, she took it. What harm could it be, to break one tradition slightly, if it could save a life
21:47:17 Mehtomiel narrows her eyes
21:47:26 [Fayena]: And the lover was saved, and life continued. Soon, however, another person needed aid. In danger, but would survive. It worked once, why not use it again, to save one you care more.
21:47:48 Sarama tilts her head slightly.
21:48:01 [Fayena]: Taboo, though, is a finite resource. Whenever your break it, a little bit of it dies. Soon enough, it no longer holds a place in your heart, stopping you doing what you should not.
21:48:28 Cadenza 's brows twitch slightly, she then tilts her head and tries to slide her hand against Ikaen's.
21:48:33 [Fayena]: Soon, this very same method that previously was unthinkable, is now used daily, on every task. It made life better. And if this was the case, why not try with other taboos?
21:48:58 Eiros looks at Fayena coldly
21:49:02 Sarama grunts slightly.
21:49:06 Ikaen hand seems to tightly clench around Cadenza's, he lets out a faint smile.
21:49:29 [Fayena]: soon it became not to aid, but because it was easier, or simply because they could. One person who sacraficed so to save a loved one, slipped easier and easier down the path, till they gladly murdered and pillaged without thought.
21:49:43 Deliarís listens intensly.
21:49:51 [Fayena]: and to her, it made perfect sense
21:49:56 Mehtomiel grunts
21:50:26 [Fayena]: she is gone now, as are most from that time, but the mistake continues to exist .Reason beyond morals is deadly, as is believing this time, it will be different, purely because your love, or your reasons, are purer, or better intended.
21:50:52 Eiros folds his arms, hands in sleeves
21:50:58 [Fayena]: I howl not for the countless who have walked a dark path, but for those who have suffered for these peoples arrogance, that they could escape the inevitable, because they can convince themselves it makes sense.
21:51:00 Deliarís makes many small but rapid nods at Fayena
21:51:28 Fayena finishes her speech, pauses a second, then looks up, and sings a loud, holding note up to the sky, before sitting back down, and resting against the wood
21:51:34 Mehtomiel howls
21:51:44 Dewynee lets out a cry as she looks up.
21:51:45 Ikaen lets out a mild howl.
21:51:46 Sarama begins to scream.
21:51:50 Ithariel lets out a long, quiet howl.
21:51:55 Eiros face is expressionless
21:52:12 Alvaneesa howls to the sky, holding a clear note
21:52:16 Cadenza throws back her head, letting otu a low howl.
21:52:34 Deliarís just looks at the people around her for a moment, smiling. Before she makesr a short, but clear howl.
21:52:41 Sarama waits for the noise to die out before she speaks.
21:53:19 [Sarama]: You did not reveal of what you spoke about, but I think it is very clear for everyone around here what it was about.
21:49:43 Deliarís listens intensly.
21:49:51 [Fayena]: and to her, it made perfect sense
21:49:56 Mehtomiel grunts
21:50:26 [Fayena]: she is gone now, as are most from that time, but the mistake continues to exist .Reason beyond morals is deadly, as is believing this time, it will be different, purely because your love, or your reasons, are purer, or better intended.
21:50:52 Eiros folds his arms, hands in sleeves
21:50:58 [Fayena]: I howl not for the countless who have walked a dark path, but for those who have suffered for these peoples arrogance, that they could escape the inevitable, because they can convince themselves it makes sense.
21:51:00 Deliarís makes many small but rapid nods at Fayena
21:51:28 Fayena finishes her speech, pauses a second, then looks up, and sings a loud, holding note up to the sky, before sitting back down, and resting against the wood
21:51:34 Mehtomiel howls
21:51:44 Dewynee lets out a cry as she looks up.
21:51:45 Ikaen lets out a mild howl.
21:51:46 Sarama begins to scream.
21:51:50 Ithariel lets out a long, quiet howl.
21:51:55 Eiros face is expressionless
21:52:12 Alvaneesa howls to the sky, holding a clear note
21:52:16 Cadenza throws back her head, letting otu a low howl.
21:52:34 Deliarís just looks at the people around her for a moment, smiling. Before she makesr a short, but clear howl.
21:52:41 Sarama waits for the noise to die out before she speaks.
21:53:19 [Sarama]: You did not reveal of what you spoke about, but I think it is very clear for everyone around here what it was about.
21:53:45 [Sarama]: All I can say is that they are on my to do list, right below orcs.
21:53:52 Mehtomiel smiles drily
21:54:06 [Fayena]: its a story ive seen more than once, it applies to a few cases. That one is just the most prominant, and the most vivid to me
21:54:38 Sarama nods slightly.
21:54:44 [Sarama]: True I guess.
21:55:07 Sarama looks around the moonwell.
21:55:30 [Sarama]: There are three who has yet to howl.
21:56:02 Sarama looks across the moonwell.
21:56:20 [Sarama]: Do you wish to howl?
21:56:27 Sarama looks at Ikaen and then on Eiros.
21:56:55 Ikaen looks at his hand with Cadenza's gently pulling it away as he clambers up nodding.
21:57:09 Eiros meets Sarama's gaze and looks toward the well
21:57:15 Sarama nods at Ikaen with a smile.
21:57:21 Mehtomiel looks at Ikaen and nods
21:57:29 [Sarama]: You have the word then.
21:58:23 Ithariel moves away from the stone, so that she can see Ikaen better.
21:58:33 [Ikaen]: I am Ikaenin Ta'Mae Moraen..This story isnt a pleasent one but it dwells on the past, and of some lost people along the way.
21:58:52 Sarama nods slightly.
21:59:42 Cadenza purses her lips, head tilted as she looks up towards Ikaenin.
21:59:47 [Ikaen]: I'll start with when I arrive in stormwind..I was young and careless as all young ones should be, I had no friends..I didnt have a proper upbringing..and I had no family until upon arrival being told my father died recently..
22:00:33 [Ikaen]: Shinodan Darkwood took me in..I was to follow in his footsteps and become a Keeper and hunt the corrupt and those who would harm the balance.
22:00:53 [Ikaen]: As my life pressed on I was still alone..Until.
22:00:57 Ikaen snorts lightly.
22:01:07 [Ikaen]: One stubborn druid caught my eye in the city..
22:01:30 Cadenza cocks her head to the side, raising a brow.
22:01:30 Sarama grins slightly.
22:02:03 [Ikaen]: She was my way out of being alone, she still is my spark of hope and happiness..
22:02:34 Eiros looks toward the two then back toward the well
22:02:51 Sarama drinks from her hipflask.
22:03:32 [Ikaen]: We'd argue one day..make up the next, We had a child..Tanavar, and..I loved them both very much but through my happiness my occupation took a hold of family's life and my decision to be there for them..or to be the best at hunting cultists.
22:03:49 Cadenza frowns.
22:03:57 Eiros bows down graciously.
22:04:10 Mehtomiel snorts
22:04:21 Sarama nods politely at Eiros.
22:04:21 [Ikaen]: And of course..through my selfishness..I lost my family, I was not there for my son..neither my life-mate..
22:04:59 [Ikaen]: Upon word that my son died, I became of void of anger..I was lost, once again alone.
22:05:30 [Ikaen]: I'd spend my days sitting on a bench staring at a toy of his.
22:05:41 [Ikaen]: Or gathering more scars from taking down cultists.
22:06:34 [Ikaen]: But I knew something was still there..I had to do something, and upon that..I got my sign once my mate returned to offer me another chance.
22:07:15 [Ikaen]: I changed that day, Not for fighting, Not for sorrow..But for the love and the assurance of happiness.
22:08:00 Sarama huffs slightly.
22:08:15 [Ikaen]: And all I can say is..I still regret the day I made that horrible choice, In that I howl for Takash..My father, Tanavarr..My son, And Cadenza for putting up with my moronic staleness for all these years.
22:08:47 Mehtomiel eyes Ikaen for a moment
22:09:03 Ikaen inclines his head letting out a light howl.
22:09:08 Sarama nods slightly and screams out in a short burst.
22:09:11 Cadenza throws her head back, letting out a low howl.
22:09:18 Dewynee grins somewhat, letting out brief howl.
22:09:20 Ithariel howls in a loud, short way.
22:09:22 Ikaen slumps down, sighing lowly too himself.
22:09:24 Mehtomiel howls
22:09:28 Deliarís howls
22:09:39 Sarama waits for the noise to die out before speaking.
22:10:12 [Sarama]: I dont understand the wrong? You put duty before your family, you did what any kaldorei is expected to do.
22:10:20 [Ikaen]: No.
22:10:23 Mehtomiel nods at Sarama
22:10:29 [Ikaen]: Family is above all in my view..
22:10:35 [Mehtomiel]: Duty, always.
22:10:49 [Ikaen]: Its not duty when it becomes a hobby.
22:10:57 Mehtomiel snorts
22:11:01 [Sarama]: But your duty, is for you family.
22:11:21 [Sarama]: And not only yours, but many others.
22:11:34 [Sarama]: If you dont do your duty, other families will suffer the same fate as yours.
22:11:39 [Cadenza]: Oh and Ikaenin, for the record. Life-mates don't give up when there is a spot of bother, they are there 'til the end.
22:11:45 A sly smirk spreads across Cadenza's face.
22:11:51 [Ikaen]: Did I not mention I was selfish, Cad?
22:12:01 Sarama shrugs slightly.
22:12:10 [Cadenza]: I never said you were? Hm.
22:12:30 Sarama grunts slightly.
22:12:31 [Ikaen]: Well I could class that as being selfish..The bothersome bit.
22:12:47 [Sarama]: Im just saying, I dont think you found your priorities yet.
22:12:54 Sarama shrugs slightly.
22:13:09 [Ikaen]: Be that so, I wronged.
22:13:29 Sarama looks around the moonwell.
22:13:46 Dewynee quietly shuffles down from the moonwell, offering a brief smile before she bows.
22:13:50 Mehtomiel smiles faintly and looks at Sarama
22:13:51 Dewynee bows down graciously.
22:13:58 [Sarama]: The crowd have been thinning out and I believe there is only one left to howl.
22:14:03 Sarama nods at Dewynee.
22:14:12 [Deliarís]: Who?
22:14:32 [Sarama]: I havent howled yet.
22:14:37 Deliarís looks at where eiros was sitting.
22:14:43 Deliarís smiles
22:15:04 Sarama stands uo.
22:15:27 [Sarama]: There is something we always say to new recruits.
22:15:35 Cadenza looks at Sarama.
22:15:41 [Sarama]: There are no old guardians.
22:15:43 Mehtomiel smiles grimly
22:15:52 Sarama looks at everyone.
22:15:59 Cadenza tilts her head to the side, seeming to ponder the thought.
22:16:03 [Sarama]: When one die, an other has to fill the hole so we can continue our fight. There has always been someone before us, and there will be one taking our place as we no longer are able to serve.
22:16:07 Ithariel turns to have a direct view of Sarama.
22:16:15 [Sarama]: My predecessor Almae Shadowstar, she became the new high guardian as her High Guardian was killed in an ambush near the black temple on Dreanor among with many other guardians.
22:16:27 [Sarama]: For her followed hard times, being suddenly put in the position of high guardian, she had not been the second in command maybe not even the 3rd and was therefor not prepared for this task.
22:16:35 Sarama drinks from her hipflask
22:16:52 Mehtomiel nods
22:16:52 [Sarama]: But her sense of duty was strong and she did not hesitate a second to do what was demanded of her. To this should be said that the order was under attack by mischievous forces.
22:17:05 [Sarama]: During her first period as high guardian, the order was decimated as many members got assassinated in their sleep.
22:17:17 [Sarama]: What need to be known ish that Almae had a bigger heart than she had anything else, always wanting to teach lessons of life and make everyone a better creation in the eyes of elune. Caring and compasionate.
22:17:27 Sarama grins slightly.
22:17:36 [Sarama]: This is why she could accept a drunken beat down kaldorei with ruffled blue hair into her ranks.
22:17:44 Mehtomiel 's mouth twitches
22:17:49 [Sarama]: This same compassion is also what cursed her, as she felt herself responsible for not being able to protect the members that lost their life under her command.
22:18:01 [Sarama]: With noone else around she often turned to the drunk and broken bird for advice. Without knowing how, I found myself to be her right hand.
22:18:16 [Sarama]: And as such, I got a very good look into her inner struggle, and her attempts to teach and educate that often semed to end of deaf ear. She tried hard, but most of the times it came out wrong.
22:18:35 [Sarama]: I think that she was ashamed of the shape the order was in. That it had not been able to recover under her command. I never blamed her for this. Except for maybe being to soft and wildhearted at times.
22:18:45 [Sarama]: She wash burning for vengance towards those who sent assassins on those that had put their trust in her. I often advised against plansh that would give her the revenge she looked for, because it would cost us many lives at the same time.
22:18:55 Sarama chuckles slightly
with a smile.
22:19:04 [Sarama]: She never was a good strategist, but the fire to fight wash there without a doubt.
22:19:13 Sarama silents her chuckle.
22:19:15 Cadenza smiles dryly.
22:19:23 [Sarama]: Then one day, Illidor stormfeather found his way back to the guardians. He wouldnt share how he survived, and it was something odd about him.
22:19:31 [Sarama]: Almae who had struggled so hard, was first relieved by her old commanders return. But when he showed no interest in taking back the leadership she started to get filled with guilt.
22:19:46 Mehtomiel raises an eyebrow
22:19:47 [Sarama]: Guilt over that the order had not recovered in the absence of her former commander. She felt as she had failed, and it felt worse each time he looked at her.
22:20:00 [Sarama]: This is what I believed eventually drove her to attempt her vengance alone, because one day she was simply gone.
22:20:13 Cadenza frowns.
22:20:13 [Sarama]: We found pieces of her ravaged gear on the island of Quel'dalas.
22:20:21 Sarama sighs slightly.
22:20:21 Cadenza blinks.
22:20:34 [Sarama]: As the second in command, I was declared High Guardian.
22:20:47 [Sarama]: I howl for Almae Shadowstar, former High Guardian of the Cenarion Guardians and to all those who been before us and all those who will come after us.
22:21:11 Sarama tenses her body and shouts out a scream.
22:21:12 Mehtomiel lets out a long howl
22:21:16 Cadenza throws her head back, she then lets out a loud howl.
22:21:17 Ikaen lets out a low howl as he tilts his head.
22:21:27 Ithariel lets out a long, pronounced howl.
22:21:31 Deliarís gets on her feet and lets out a long piercing howl.
22:22:03 Sarama silence her scream and nods slightly. Then sits down.
22:22:29 [Sarama]: All have howled.
22:22:42 [Sarama]: We know alittle about eachother we did not know before.
22:23:14 Mehtomiel nods slightly
22:23:31 [Deliarís]: It is indeed, as if it seems that one sometimes only truely recognize the great people around after they've perished.
Thanks for the great RP. Some stories are worth keeping written down.
Deliaris pre event notes.
I believe that for some it may be no surprise of what I will tell.
But where does one story start? It is before it ends.
Takes a deep breath and sighs.
I still remember the day, I had sneaked my way into the sentinels armory in order to lend a weapon.
Ah in all my eagerness, I took hold of a way too heavy polearm. And Caliyen, caught me.
But she didn't try and beat me up like Celegil probably would have done.
looks dreamily into the air
No. She taught me how to use a weapon as a weapon. She was not considered much amongst the sentinels, an outrunner, the youngest in her family.
So, I joined, - choose to follow The Way. Yes. I found out I had much in common with their way of life.
She introduced me to her huntress Thelnaya, and who then allowed me to call myself an outrunner.
When I was to train in hand to hand with her, she did not beat me senseless, like other might have.
*pauses for a moment*
As some of you may already have heard, she died in Northrend.
When we held her rite of the dream, many humans arrived. There I learned that she had been so much more. Guard and Captain amongst the humans. Many for whom she had meant a great deal.
So I howl for Caliyen Starbreeze, so that we too may remember her as a great warrior.
Event log. Didn't go all back to the beginning.
20:04:24 Cadenza looks to Sarama. She then let's out a sigh, furrowing her brows as she begins to speak.
20:05:36 [Cadenza]: I had a son, it was not long ago. It was a treasurable time. Life was great, I had my sister.. I had my lifemate.. And I had an amazing son. Me and I my son, Tanavarr Moraen.. We were travelling, trying to find a stable place to stay.
20:05:47 Sarama looks at Cadenza and drinks causally from her hipflask.
20:05:58 Ikaen frowns deeply.
20:06:19 Dewynee glances to Cadenza.
20:06:35 [Cadenza]: It wasn't easy. Avoiding attacks from Orcs, attacks from the wild animals around. We managed to make it. We kept ourselves up and we came close to Ashenvale, not feeling it was the right place to be we ended up going further.
20:06:51 Sharí frowns a little and furrows her eyebrows, gazing at Cadenza.
20:07:10 [Cadenza]: We went to a place called Raynewood Retreat, filled with amazing and skilled Druids. Not long after me and Tanavarr began to settle.. He.. Well, he fell ill.
20:07:11 Ikaen looks at Cadenza with a seemingly shocked expression, still maintaining his frown.
20:07:32 Alvaneesa nods slightly at the mention of illness
20:08:25 [Cadenza]: The Druids were confused to what was happening. They couldn't find a hidden wound, nothing infected. But he was ill.. Becoming weaker and weaker with each day. He was a blessing, always remaining strong. He always told me he was fine..
20:09:07 Fayena leans back against the word, watching the talking elf with a curious frown, scratching on occasion at her bracer
20:09:23 [Cadenza]: He always used to tell me that he was feeling better and better each day. We both knew we were kidding ourselves. Time was growing thin, and I had to make it last somehow. I packed a few things, an ran to the top of a hill with him, I made sure he safe..
20:10:20 [Cadenza]: Warm and such. We then began to watch the stars. Having just a imple talk. But I tell you now, you never know how valuable the people in your lives are untill you've lost them. Yes, he passed away in my arms that night as well.
20:10:55 Sarama nods slightly.
20:11:06 [Cadenza]: I howl for Tanavarr Moraen, for all of you around me to take in what I have said and to hopefully begin to treasure each moment you have left with everyone around you.
20:11:32 Cadenza throws back her head, she then lets out a greivious howl.
20:11:37 Ikaen lets out a hesitant breath before he tilts his head back and lets out a loud howl.
20:11:48 Fayena repeats the tapping gesture, clinking the metal thrice
20:12:06 Dewynee jerks her head back and lets out a howl.
20:12:15 Sarama thows a quick glance at Mehtomiel then looks back into the moonwell and begins to scream.
20:12:19 Alvaneesa clashes the metal of her bracers against that of her shoulder guards.
20:12:29 Cadenza looks toward Ikaen, shuffling a tad closer.
20:12:33 Mehtomiel howls
20:12:42 Deliarís looks a bit at Sarama, then lets out a clear howl.
20:12:54 Ikaen continues letting out hesitant breaths containing himself as he too shuffles closer to Cadenza.
20:13:15 [Sarama]: Important message.
20:13:41 Cadenza nods firmly, looking back around the Moonwell.
20:14:08 [Sarama]: In this time we fight to keep what we have, but do we really appreicate it?
20:14:22 Mehtomiel looks at the moonwell thoughtfully
20:14:41 Cadenza purses her lips slightly, then looking to the Moonwell.
20:14:59 [Alvaneesa]: I have noone so close as that, but I have come close to death myself of late. I have learnt to appreciate what I have and that which remains to me.
20:15:12 Ikaen continues too stare downwards.
20:15:14 Cadenza smiles at Alvaneesa.
20:15:32 [Fayena]: it is often stunning, quite how differently things appear because of a few, apparently simple changes in perspective
20:15:42 Sarama nods slightly.
20:16:20 [Sarama]: An other has spoken. More has yet to howl. Who want to share their howl?
20:16:53 Deliarís nods at Sarama
20:17:01 [Sarama]: Deliaris?
20:17:02 Mehtomiel turns to look at Deliaris
20:17:05 [Deliarís]: I can share mine.
20:17:15 Sarama nods.
20:17:22 [Sarama]: The word is yours then.
20:17:44 [Deliarís]: I believe that for some of you it may be no surprise of what I will tell.
20:18:07 [Deliarís]: But where does one story start? It is before it ends.
20:18:21 Deliarís takes a deep breath and sighs.
20:18:31 Mehtomiel glances over her shoulder and nods slightly
20:18:34 Sarama drinks from her hipflask as she watches Deliaris.
20:18:37 [Deliarís]: I still remember the day, I had sneaked my way into the sentinels armory in order to lend a weapon.
20:18:50 Eiros nods, a polite smile on his face
20:18:50 Sharí looks at you.
20:18:54 [Deliarís]: Ah in all my eagerness, I took hold of a way too heavy polearm. And Caliyen, caught me.
20:19:05 Sarama grins.
20:19:06 [Deliarís]: But she didn't try and beat me up like Celegil probably would have done.
20:19:15 Mehtomiel snorts
20:19:17 Sarama huffs.
20:19:26 Ikaen quietly clambers up, gently folding his arms.
20:19:27 Deliarís looks dreamily into the air.
20:19:42 [Deliarís]: No. She taught me how to use a weapon as a weapon. She was not considered much amongst the sentinels, an outrunner, the youngest in her family.
20:19:43 Fayena raises an eyebrow, readjusting her seat as she sips her flask
20:19:57 Mehtomiel forms a few words soundlessly, catching Sarama's eyes
20:20:03 [Deliarís]: So, I joined, - choose to follow The Way.
20:20:11 Alvaneesa shifts slightly, shrugging her shoulders to let her armour shift into a better position.
20:20:15 [Deliarís]: I found out I had much in common with their way of life.
20:20:27 [Deliarís]: She introduced me to her huntress Thelnaya, and who then allowed me to call myself an outrunner.When I was to train in hand to hand with her, she did not beat me senseless, like other might have.
20:20:31 Sarama nods slightly back at Mehtomiel with a grin.
20:20:41 Deliarís pauses for a moment.
20:20:52 [Deliarís]: As some of you may already have heard, she died in Northrend. Her spirit torn from her body, by the blackest of magic.
20:21:20 [Deliarís]: When we had learned that she was dead, we held her rite of the dream. To my astonishment, many humans arrived.
20:21:22 Cadenza frowns.
20:21:47 [Deliarís]: There I learned that she had been so much more. Guard and Captain amongst the humans. Many for whom she had meant a great deal aswell.
20:21:59 [Deliarís]: So I howl for Caliyen Starbreeze, so that we too may remember her as a great warrior.
20:22:33 Deliarís pauses for a moment taking a deep breath.
20:22:55 Deliarís leans her head back and screams into the sky.
20:22:59 Sarama nods slightly at Deliaris and then begins to scream into the moonwell.
20:22:59 Mehtomiel nods slightly, then turns her head back and howls
20:23:00 Cadenza throws back her head, she then let's out a ferine howl.
20:23:04 Sharí let's out a faint hiss, tilting her back to howl out loudly.
20:23:10 Dewynee jerks her head back, letting out a cry.
20:23:15 Alvaneesa nods then raises her face the the sky and howls loudly.
20:23:28 Ikaen lets out a mild howl.
20:23:34 Fayena taps her wrists, nodding slightly
20:23:37 Sarama waits for the howling to die down before speaking.
20:24:17 [Sarama]: I never knew Caliyen, but she did leave a good impression on me. A soldier. No more, no less.
20:24:36 Mehtomiel nods
20:24:36 [Sarama]: I do know Celegil though, she wouldnt have beaten you up. She would have given you a warning.
20:24:44 Mehtomiel smiles drily
20:24:44 Sarama chuckles.
20:24:56 Deliarís eyes Sarama.
20:25:59 Deliarís shakes her head a bit.
20:26:25 [Alvaneesa]: I never knew your Caliyen but I have heard her name. And what I have heard speaks well of her. Her parting brings sorrow.
20:26:41 [Sarama]: I did always feel abit less concerned about the way of malorne when she is no longer there.
20:27:31 Sarama nods slightly and throw a glance at Eiros.
20:27:47 Eiros looks up his eyes narrowed
20:28:05 [Sarama]: Welcome to the howl, some have spoken, some are still have their howl to share.
20:28:14 Cadenza follows Sarama's gaze, looking over her shoulder and nodding at Eiros.
20:28:31 Eiros nods and looks at the group
20:28:42 Ikaen stares towards the moonwell, sighing lowly as he adjusts his stance.
20:29:00 Eiros adjusts his robes and makes himself comfortable
20:29:22 [Sarama]: So who has not spoken and wish to do so?
20:29:53 Sarama drinks from her hipflask.
20:29:58 Mehtomiel glances around the moonwell
20:30:12 [Mehtomiel]: I will.
20:30:21 Sarama nods at Mehtomiel.
20:30:26 [Sarama]: You may shpeak then.
20:30:32 Mehtomiel stands up and smiles faintly
20:30:45 [Mehtomiel]: I never gave birth to any children, but I have helped in raising a few.
20:31:02 Cadenza looks at Mehtomiel.
20:31:05 [Mehtomiel]: There was one girl whose mother was a Sentinel, a good friend of mine, and she laughed when the girl took to following me around when I was stationed nearby.
20:31:16 [Mehtomiel]: We made jokes about it, how the girl was confused by the armor of Sentinels and thought everyone wearing it must be her mother.
20:31:29 Sarama smiles slightly.
20:31:30 Mehtomiel chuckles
20:31:37 Cadenza smiles slightly, biting her lower lip.
20:31:41 [Mehtomiel]: The girl, she was very silent. She'd do her best to not disturb me when I was on duty, and would hide nearby to watch.
20:31:50 [Mehtomiel]: I pretended not to notice, when she was smaller, but as she grew up, I sometimes looked straight at the place she was hiding in, didn't say a word - but she knew she had been spotted and had to do better.
20:32:23 Mehtomiel looks directly at the cat sitting near the moonwell and grins
20:33:02 [Mehtomiel]: Once I was out hunting, and I knew she was following me again. But just as I was aiming at a young deer, the girl slipped, made a racket in the woods, and scared the deer away. I looked at the place she was hiding in, then went back to hunting.
20:33:08
Sarama gives the druid a quick glance with a grin then return her attention to Mehtomiel.
20:33:32 [Mehtomiel]: I didn't see the girl for a few weeks after that, until I was again out hunting. I saw a fawn drinking at a lake and thought about going after it, but there was another hunting it already.
20:33:40 [Mehtomiel]: The girl had been standing very quietly, downwind of the fawn so that she was not spotted, and with one arrow, brought it down.
20:33:54 [Mehtomiel]: It was her first real prey, but instead of going back home to hear praises, she took the fawn and brought it to the shadows where I was standing.
20:34:04 Fribeloton waves.
20:34:06 [Mehtomiel]: Then she turned to go, but I told her that she should stay and give me a hand with the fawn, since it looked so heavy that one hunter could barely lift it.
20:34:08 Fribeloton welcomes everyone.
20:34:28 [Mehtomiel]: Together we carried it back, and made food from it. The girl didn't want any praises, and didn't let anyone else know who had caught the fawn.
20:34:38 [Mehtomiel]: But as young as she was, the next time I went hunting, I took her with me. Her mother laughed at that and said the girl was still too young, still a child.
20:34:54 [Mehtomiel]: Now I howl for the girl Talathiel, the daughter of a friend, and her first successful hunt - even though she refused any praise, and brought her prey to me, to replace the one she scared away.
20:35:11 Sarama nods slightly.
20:35:12 Mehtomiel smiles and howls loudly
20:35:24 Cadenza let's out a small laugh, throwing her head back and she begins to howl.
20:35:24 Fayena repeats her tapping gesture, taking a sip from her flask
20:35:27 Ikaen tilts his head and howls lightly.
20:35:30 Sharí smiles a little, tilting back to howl yet again.
20:35:31 Dewynee throws her head back and lets out a cry.
20:35:31 Sarama screams into the moonwell and begins to chuckle halfway through.
20:35:35 Eiros steeples his hands resting them under his chin, wincing at the howls
20:35:51 [Fribeloton]: only elfs here
20:35:52 [Fribeloton]: ?
20:35:59 Deliarís makes a pleasent smile at Mehtomiel, before she lets go of a howl.
20:36:05 Sarama glance at Fribeloton.
20:36:09 Alvaneesa smiles and sends a keening howl to the stars
20:36:15 [Sarama]: You are not an kaldorei.
20:36:17 Fribeloton waves goodbye to Mehtomiel. Farewell!
20:36:19 Fribeloton waves goodbye to everyone. Farewell!
20:36:24 [Sarama]: But this howl welcomes everyone,
20:36:42 Sarama shrugs slightly as the dranei leaves.
20:37:41 Sarama looks at Mehtomiel.
20:37:54 [Sarama]: Did you teach her any of your bad habits?
20:38:00 Mehtomiel snorts and laughs
20:38:15 [Mehtomiel]: She became a Sentinel, years later.
20:38:21 [Mehtomiel]: So I suppose I did.
20:39:53 Sarama chuckles.
20:40:30 [Sarama]: Many has howled, some have still not. Who wish to share their howl?
20:40:44 Sarama glance at Ithariel.
20:40:55 Ithariel looks at Sarama.
Logging started on 01/28/2011 at 20:41:09.
20:41:33 [Ithariel]: I don't believe I have yet earned the right to sit at this moonwell.
20:41:36 Mehtomiel smiles faintly
20:41:48 Eiros looks at Ithariel with a smirk
Logging started on 01/28/2011 at 20:42:09.
20:42:18 [Fayena]: not to mention, quite the point of a moonwell is that all kaldorei are quite welcome to it.
20:42:48 [Sarama]: But you may want to leave your stick in the dark.
20:42:56 Eiros looks toward Fayena his expression neutral before looking once again into the moonwell
20:43:18 Ithariel looks behind her to the right.
20:44:14 Sarama nods approvingly at Ithariel.
20:44:16 [Sharí]: Uhm..
20:44:27 [Sharí]: I do not mind to share, it is personal.
20:44:28 Cadenza looks at Sharí.
20:44:39 Mehtomiel raises an eyebrow
20:44:51 [Sarama]: All are. You have the word if you wish it.
20:44:55 Sarama looks at Shair.
20:44:58 [Sharí]: Thank you.
20:45:15 Sharí scratches her cheek lightly, slowly rising to her feet and smiling lightly.
20:45:30 Eiros looks toward Shari
20:45:45 [Sharí]: My name is Sharí Shal'ari Wildfang, at the other side of me is my sister Cadenza Wildfang. My story is similar to Alvaneesa, we may have experienced it when we were very young, or i hope not. Me and Cadenza both stayed together until this very day.
20:46:05 Cadenza smiles slightly, nodding towards Sharí.
20:46:16 Sharí glances over to Cadenza, snickering.
20:46:31 Eiros pets Wisp.
20:46:36 [Sharí]: When we were mere cubs, my mother, Erazia, taught us of Elune and the Druids. My father however was in the Dream, like every other male, so i knew little of him. I loved my mother very dearly.
20:47:00 Fayena rolls her eyes, taking a gulp from her flask
20:47:17 Mehtomiel dips her hand in the Moonwell
20:47:37 [Sharí]: We all travelled a lot, it was unt'il we came across a beautiful landscape named Azshara, cloaked in eternal autumn but tinged in oranges and reds. Of course, me and Cadenza soon sett'led in and lived with other Kal'Dorei's.
20:47:51 Sarama listens to Shari and drinks causally from her hipflask.
20:48:05 Cadenza tilts her head to the side, keeping her gaze on Sharí.
20:48:13 Fayena looks up after hearing azshara, curiously staring in the direction of the story
20:48:31 [Sharí]: We took liking to them, and so we called them our brothers and sisters, playing and learning. It was not unt'il local Orcs took residence near us, knocking down many tree's. Of course we were very angry, and so it led to many wars.
20:49:03 Cadenza furrows her brows slightly, her jaw clenching somewhat.
20:49:16 Sharí nods slowly, occasionally gazing at Cadenza.
20:49:33 [Sharí]: My mother led us to safety and told us to run, we did. As soon as i stopped for breath, I looked back and saw flames, but not my mother. I ran back, but the Orcs took over and i saw my mother lying on the ground, leaves covered her body and..
20:49:49 Ikaen blinks several times seemingly coming to reality, trying to place his hand onto Cadenza's shoulder and glance towards Shari.
20:50:33 Eiros notes the response of Ikaen and raises an eyebrow
20:50:33 Cadenza get's a hand placed on her shoulder, she glances up briefly but quickly looks back to Sharí.
20:50:37 [Sharí]: I knew it before i saw it, so i sat down and wept unt'il dawn rose over, Cadenza was very brave. Looking back now, i realise that life was very cruel and so we should be glad to have somene by our side.
20:51:33 [Sharí]: I howl for Erazia, a friend and a mother. For all those who lost a relative, i hope some day we can renew our misery, thank you.
20:51:57 Fayena chinks again, frowning as she does so
20:52:05 Sharí let's out a gust of air, tilting her back to let out a low howl.
20:52:09 Deliarís lets go of a simple howl.
20:52:16 Sarama begins to scream.
20:52:16 Cadenza let's out a deep breath, inhaling. She then throws back her head and let's out a low howl.
20:52:16 Ikaen tilts his head letting out a howl.
20:52:20 Alvaneesa raises her head and howls
20:52:22 Dewynee lets out another cry.
20:52:30 Mehtomiel howls, then turns back to look at the moonwell
20:52:43 Eiros looks to each in turn who howl
20:53:04 [Fayena]: that place will always be stained with death. It seems it finds new ways to make people suffer
20:53:20 [Cadenza]: Through suffering we grow stronger.
20:53:26 [Sharí]: Together.
20:53:42 [Fayena]: strength is never the issues, it when people know how to use it
20:53:56 Sharí offers a sympathetic smile towards Cadenza, rubbing her eyes and sitting back down.
20:54:01 [Ikaen]: Im sure she's proud of you two.
20:54:05 Cadenza
looks to Fayena, seeming to take thought to the words. She then nods firmly.
20:54:13 [Sarama]: I just wish we were given the order to march to ogrimmar and end the orcs once and for all.
20:54:26 [Sharí]: Indeed, it seems endless.
20:54:30 [Cadenza]: I think everyone would get way too carried away for something like that.
20:54:30 Eiros smiles approvingly at Fayena's remark
20:55:13 [Alvaneesa]: As long as the order waits until I am ready to fight again, I will be glad of it.
20:55:24 Mehtomiel smiles drily
20:55:28 Sarama grins slightly.
20:55:36 A sly smirk spreads across Cadenza's face.
20:55:42 [Mehtomiel]: You will heal. The war goes on, you'll have your chance.
20:55:49 Fayena sighs quietly to herself, taking another sip
20:56:07 [Sarama]: If I get you right, you wouldnt let a injury stop you from killing a few orcs. Were the order given.
20:56:18 [Alvaneesa]: Quite.
20:56:33 Deliarís stares blankly at the stone in front of her and next to Sarama
20:56:38 [Alvaneesa]: But I grow stronger by the day. Give me another few weeks and I will show them real fear.
20:56:49 Sarama drinks from her hipflask and grins.
20:57:06 [Fayena]: they breed like vermin, i would not worry, You shall certainly not be short of a greenskin to shoot when the times comes
20:57:06 Sarama looks around the moonwel..
20:57:07 Eiros looks at Alvaneesa then back to the moonwell
20:57:11 Cadenza lets out a dry chuckle, looking over at Alvaneesa.
20:57:22 Ikaen grunts lowly.
20:57:41 [Sarama]: Many have howled, there are still some left. Who wants to go next?
20:57:57 Ithariel looks around.
20:58:22 Mehtomiel raises an eyebrow
20:58:42 Sarama throw a glance at Ithariel.
20:58:44 [Sarama]: You?
20:58:57 [Ithariel]: I do have a tale to tell, yes...
20:59:14 [Sarama]: If you wish to share it, the word is yours.
20:59:19 Ithariel nods slightly.
20:59:37 Cadenza leans forward slightly, trying to get a better view of Ithariel.
20:59:52 [Ithariel]: My name is Ithariel Starbreeze. As you can see, I am young.
21:00:00 Sarama nods.
21:00:12 Mehtomiel smiles faintly
21:00:17 [Ithariel]: When the war came, I was too young to be admitted among the sentinels. I still am.
21:00:39 [Ithariel]: Therefore I was spared the fight. But I met those that did fight in the war.
21:00:47 Mehtomiel nods
21:00:55 Eiros tries to look around the rock of the well to see Ithariel
21:01:08 [Ithariel]: One of them found out that I had druidic talents. His name was Noonas Springwind.
21:01:29 [Ithariel]: He was a druid of the talon, one of many that awoke during the war.
21:01:59 [Ithariel]: He found himself unable to continue his battle duties, when he reached us, so he took me as his pupil instead.
21:02:30 [Ithariel]: We had our differences, that much was for certain. He used to say that I was worse than the Legion when it came to cooperating.
21:02:35 Ithariel smiles slightly.
21:03:03 [Ithariel]: It went on that way, until the sky broke open, and what is now called the Exodar crashed into the Western archipelago.
21:03:45 [Ithariel]: The sentinels went in first, since there were concerns about possibility of another Legion invasion. But it was found to be not so.
21:03:58 Sarama grunts slightly.
21:04:05 [Ithariel]: That was when the Cenarion Circle called upon Noonas.
21:04:39 [Ithariel]: He was told to go to the archipelago and scout the damage done to the nature there, by crystals that broke off Exodar.
21:04:52 [Ithariel]: He was reluctant at first, but he did obey his seniors.
21:05:19 [Ithariel]: He had one condition - that I could come along. He said that I could learn a lot from such a journey.
21:05:40 [Ithariel]: Of course, my mother protested. But he managed to talk her into letting me go.
21:06:30 Sarama drinks from her hipflask.
21:06:31 Mehtomiel nods slightly
21:06:33 [Ithariel]: So we left Darkshore, and reached Silvermyst. We arrived one month, two weeks and three days after the vessel crashed.
21:05:40 [Ithariel]: Of course, my mother protested. But he managed to talk her into letting me go.
21:06:30 Sarama drinks from her hipflask.
21:06:31 Mehtomiel nods slightly
21:06:33 [Ithariel]: So we left Darkshore, and reached Silvermyst. We arrived one month, two weeks and three days after the vessel crashed.
21:06:48 Sarama raise a eyebrow.
21:06:57 Ithariel looks at Sarama.
21:07:13 [Ithariel]: We were sent in only after the sentinels made sure we wouldn't be swarmed by demons on landfall.
21:07:21 [Ithariel]: That is why we arrived so late.
21:07:27 Sarama nods slightly.
21:07:28 Mehtomiel smiles grimly
21:07:29 Alvaneesa rolls her shoulders again, feeling at her waist for her hipflask. Failing to find it, she glances back at her sabre and tsks in disappointment
21:07:46 Ikaen seems to tighten his grip slightly on Cadenza's shoulder.
21:08:18 [Ithariel]: We scouted Silvermyst first. Being a small isle, it didn't take long; We found an abandoned household. There were signes of Moonking tribe presence on the isle, but they were long gone.
21:08:20 Fayena reaches down to her flask, and proceeds to attempt to drink from it - upon finding it empty, she sighs, attempts again in case, then replaces it in the carrier on her belt
21:08:39 [Ithariel]: Therefore, we reached the main island, Azuremyst, as it is now called by its denizens.
21:09:01 [Ithariel]: It was worse there, especially the more we got to the north.
21:09:08 Mehtomiel nods
21:09:40 [Ithariel]: We did meet the draenei on the journey. Noonas didn't trust them at first - when saw the first one, he believed he was seeing an eredar warlock.
21:09:50 [Ithariel]: It turned out to be untrue, of course.
21:09:56 Sarama nods.
21:10:06 [Ithariel]: The draenei helped us several times, until we reached Bloodmyst.
21:10:10 Eiros smirks then reaches into a pouch
21:10:43 [Ithariel]: We were surprised - shocked might be a better word - at the damage caused there. It was diametrally more pronounced than the damage on Azuremyst.
21:11:13 [Ithariel]: The worst on Azuremyst we found were crash sites that burnt the local flora, and scared the animals away.
21:11:36 [Ithariel]: In Bloodmyst, we found areas beset with what seemed to be corruption, though unrelated to fel energies.
21:11:45 [Ithariel]: The draenei called it "radiation".
21:12:09 [Ithariel]: The damage everywhere was extensive.
21:12:36 [Ithariel]: Nonetheless, we needed a sample of irradiated soil, and, if possible, an active crystal that caused the radiation.
21:13:10 [Ithariel]: Unknow to us, we weren't the only ones who took interest in such.
21:13:26 Sarama drinks from her hipflask as she listes to Ithariel.
21:14:03 [Ithariel]: The day we set out to get our samples, the descendants of the Highborne clashed with the draenei.
21:14:19 [Ithariel]: Needless to say, me and Noonas were ill equiped to fight.
21:14:28 Sarama huffs slightly.
21:14:43 Cadenza slides her hand up to Ikaen's trying to lightly tug him down, remaining silent as she watches Itheriel.
21:14:47 [Ithariel]: Noonas, having experience at warfare, however, insisted to help.
21:15:01 [Ithariel]: He was warned.
21:15:13 Deliarís makes a short startled motion, then turns her head forward to clearly see Ithariel
21:15:22 Mehtomiel grunts
21:15:28 [Ithariel]: The draenei priests knew that injuries he sustained in battles before did cost him his agility.
21:15:33 Ikaen gets pulled down keeping himself close to Cadenza.
21:15:38 [Ithariel]: But Noonas wasn't one of those who would listen.
21:15:56 [Ithariel]: As I said before, I am young. Therefore, I wasn't allowed to fight.
21:16:08 [Ithariel]: So I stayed in Blood Watch, and waited.
21:16:15 [Ithariel]: Two days passed, and nobody returned.
21:16:22 [Ithariel]: So I went on to search for Noonas.
21:16:34 [Ithariel]: It didn't take long to find him, if you knew what to look for.
21:16:53 [Ithariel]: He was shot down by a cursed arrow.
21:17:07 Mehtomiel grunts
21:17:15 [Ithariel]: Pinned down to a tree, unable to wrestle himself free, or to escape and at least rest.
21:17:24 Cadenza lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
21:17:36 [Ithariel]: How he survived for those two days is unknow to me. But when I found him, he was already nearly bled to death.
21:18:11 [Ithariel]: I tried to get him off the tree. I knew that pulling the arrow out of the wound would cause him to bleed more than he did up to that point.
21:18:17 [Ithariel]: But there was nowhere to turn to...
21:18:26 [Ithariel]: So he shifted his form one last time.
21:18:51 [Ithariel]: A hawk, a grand one. The arrow broke, and he, with a last cry, fell to the ground, dying.
21:19:02 [Ithariel]: I didn't wait for anything.
21:19:06 Sarama nods slowly.
21:19:14 Alvaneesa nods sadly
21:19:22 [Ithariel]: I picked him up and ran as fast as my feral form could carry me, to Blood Watch.
21:19:28 Mehtomiel watches Ithariel, waiting
21:19:28 Fayena glances are her saber by the tree, specifically the saddlebalgs
21:19:37 [Ithariel]: It was there where the draenei told me that he was already dead.
21:19:40 Cadenza curls her upper lip slightly, looking down to her hands with a small frown.
21:20:11 [Ithariel]: Noonas Springwind, veteran of the war, and tutor of a spoiled, young girl, was a kind soul.
21:20:26 [Ithariel]: This howl is for him.
21:20:39 Ithariel looks at stars and lets out a long howl.
21:20:43 Sarama nods slightly and screams out loudly.
21:20:46 Mehtomiel turns her head back and howls
21:20:52 Dewynee lets out a cry.
21:20:56 Cadenza looks up to Ithariel. She then throws back her head and let's out a mild howl.
21:21:05 Ikaen lets out a low howl.
21:21:11 Fayena chinks her wrists again, looking around at the others
21:21:13 Deliarís lets out a howl.
21:21:15 Alvaneesa lifts her head and howls to the sky
21:21:27 Eiros brushes a leaf from his knee
21:22:04 Cadenza purses her lips, looking over her shoulder at Eiros. A small frown furrowing her brows.
21:22:16 [Sarama]: Quite eventful times these recent past years. I dont think most of us even saw a fellow kaldorei be murdered before we gotten atleast 300.
21:22:28 Ikaen frowns.
21:22:42 Ikaen looks down at his hands.
21:22:53 Mehtomiel smiles drily
21:22:59 Fayena smirks ever so slightly, grunting quietly
21:23:32 Sarama looks around the moonwell.
21:23:52 [Sarama]: Many have howled, are there still those who want to share their howl?
21:24:46 Mehtomiel leans back and waits
21:25:00 Dewynee scratches her ear briefly.
21:25:19 [Sarama]: Things have been shared here tonight that wouldnt been shared lightly.
21:25:45 Ikaen remains silent keeping his head dropped with a flinch on his face.
21:25:56 [Sarama]: So there is no shame in sharing someothing of yourself, quite the opposite.
21:26:15 Sarama drinks from her hipflask
21:27:26 Dewynee bites her lowerlip.
21:27:32 [Dewynee]: I may have something to share.
21:27:45 Sarama nods at Dewynee and nods.
21:27:56 Dewynee pushes herself up on her feet.
21:27:59 [Sarama]: The word ish yours then.
21:28:00 Cadenza leans forward slightly, adjusting her position so she ie facing Dewynee.
21:28:11 Sarama looks at Dewynee.
21:28:13 Ithariel looks at Dewynee.
21:29:58 Sarama drinks from her hipflask as she waits for Dewynee to begin.
21:30:56 [Dewynee]: Hmh... I'm Dewyneé. I'm young and have not experienced as much as the most of you, most likely. A while ago, back in Darkshore, Auberdine, where me, my mother and father lived, I was standing on the harbour, just casually.
21:33:36 [Dewynee]: Looking across the sea, I saw a... Well, dot from the distance I was at. I saw how big waves began to form, and the ground began to shake, and before I knew it, it began to shatter. Seeing as the dot came closer, and closer.
21:35:25 [Dewynee]: The clouds began to look as if they were ablaze, while the dot just came closer, I saw wings, then the bridge shattered aswell and I fell into the sea. Once I got back to the surface, Auberdine was ablaze.
21:35:44 Cadenza blinks.
21:35:52 Sarama looks around at the faces of everyone around the moonwell, then looks back at Dewynee.
21:36:07 Mehtomiel nods grimly
21:36:16 Eiros casts a dark look toward the moonwell as he listens to the tale
21:37:02 Deliarís shivers.
21:37:28 Ithariel listens intently.
21:37:31 Sarama grits her theeths.
Logging started on 01/28/2011 at 21:38:45.
21:38:57 Sarama nods slightly.
21:39:06 Cadenza purses her lips, frowning as she looks to Dewynee.
21:40:44 [Dewynee]: I saw injured ones everywhere, some made it - Some didn't, such as my parents. So, I howl for the loss of the many fellow kaldorei of Auberdine.
21:41:13 Dewynee sighs quietly before she jerks her head back and lets out a cry.
21:41:15 Mehtomiel turns her head back and lets out a long howl
21:41:18 Cadenza throws her head back, she then lets out a long low howl.
21:41:18 [Eiros]: (low) Dark times...
21:41:30 Sarama grunts slightly and lets out a scream.
21:41:32 Ithariel lets out a long, pronounced howl.
21:41:41 Dewynee sits back down.
21:41:41 Fayena closes her eyes for a half second before tapping her wrists slowly
21:41:42 Alvaneesa nods grimly and raises her head to howl
21:42:16 Deliarís ponders for a moment, then makes a clear howl.
21:42:46 Sarama nods slightly.
21:42:53 [Sarama]: A great loss.
21:43:01 Ithariel nods.
21:43:28 [Deliarís]:
Yes
21:43:31 [Sarama]: Just last year, I didnt even imagine that we ever would lose Auberdeen.
21:43:35 Dewynee nods slowly.
21:43:51 [Mehtomiel]: I don't think anyone did.
21:43:53 [Deliarís]: So many friends died there.
21:44:07 [Fayena]: you never realise quite what it is to have your home intact, until you lose it
21:44:20 Sarama grins slightly.
21:44:26 [Sarama]: Just like Cadenza howled.
21:44:29 [Ithariel]: Me and my mother lived nearby, fortunatelly further away from the shore... We saw it from afar.
21:44:42 Sarama nods at Ithariel.
21:44:48 Cadenza smiles grimly.
21:44:52 Sarama looks around the moonwell.
21:45:11 [Sarama]: Many has howled, very few remain. Do anyone yet wish to howl?
21:45:26 Ikaen eyebrows furrow.
21:45:32 [Fayena]: i shall share, as i am here
21:45:42 Sarama nods at Fayena.
21:45:52 [Sarama]: The word is yours.
21:45:55 Mehtomiel nods
21:46:05 Fayena straights up, standing, and sighing to herself for a half second as she composes, before starting to speak
21:46:27 Ithariel turns to face Fayena.
21:46:28 [Fayena]: If you ask most people, they say they would do most anything to help a friend, or a loved one. Would sacrafice most things.
21:46:45 Sarama nods slightly,.
21:46:52 Mehtomiel smiles faintly
21:46:54 [Fayena]: A long time ago, liftimes ago, a...friend i knew did just that. When given the option of saving their lovers life and not, she took it. What harm could it be, to break one tradition slightly, if it could save a life
21:47:17 Mehtomiel narrows her eyes
21:47:26 [Fayena]: And the lover was saved, and life continued. Soon, however, another person needed aid. In danger, but would survive. It worked once, why not use it again, to save one you care more.
21:47:48 Sarama tilts her head slightly.
21:48:01 [Fayena]: Taboo, though, is a finite resource. Whenever your break it, a little bit of it dies. Soon enough, it no longer holds a place in your heart, stopping you doing what you should not.
21:48:28 Cadenza 's brows twitch slightly, she then tilts her head and tries to slide her hand against Ikaen's.
21:48:33 [Fayena]: Soon, this very same method that previously was unthinkable, is now used daily, on every task. It made life better. And if this was the case, why not try with other taboos?
21:48:58 Eiros looks at Fayena coldly
21:49:02 Sarama grunts slightly.
21:49:06 Ikaen hand seems to tightly clench around Cadenza's, he lets out a faint smile.
21:49:29 [Fayena]: soon it became not to aid, but because it was easier, or simply because they could. One person who sacraficed so to save a loved one, slipped easier and easier down the path, till they gladly murdered and pillaged without thought.
21:49:43 Deliarís listens intensly.
21:49:51 [Fayena]: and to her, it made perfect sense
21:49:56 Mehtomiel grunts
21:50:26 [Fayena]: she is gone now, as are most from that time, but the mistake continues to exist .Reason beyond morals is deadly, as is believing this time, it will be different, purely because your love, or your reasons, are purer, or better intended.
21:50:52 Eiros folds his arms, hands in sleeves
21:50:58 [Fayena]: I howl not for the countless who have walked a dark path, but for those who have suffered for these peoples arrogance, that they could escape the inevitable, because they can convince themselves it makes sense.
21:51:00 Deliarís makes many small but rapid nods at Fayena
21:51:28 Fayena finishes her speech, pauses a second, then looks up, and sings a loud, holding note up to the sky, before sitting back down, and resting against the wood
21:51:34 Mehtomiel howls
21:51:44 Dewynee lets out a cry as she looks up.
21:51:45 Ikaen lets out a mild howl.
21:51:46 Sarama begins to scream.
21:51:50 Ithariel lets out a long, quiet howl.
21:51:55 Eiros face is expressionless
21:52:12 Alvaneesa howls to the sky, holding a clear note
21:52:16 Cadenza throws back her head, letting otu a low howl.
21:52:34 Deliarís just looks at the people around her for a moment, smiling. Before she makesr a short, but clear howl.
21:52:41 Sarama waits for the noise to die out before she speaks.
21:53:19 [Sarama]: You did not reveal of what you spoke about, but I think it is very clear for everyone around here what it was about.
21:49:43 Deliarís listens intensly.
21:49:51 [Fayena]: and to her, it made perfect sense
21:49:56 Mehtomiel grunts
21:50:26 [Fayena]: she is gone now, as are most from that time, but the mistake continues to exist .Reason beyond morals is deadly, as is believing this time, it will be different, purely because your love, or your reasons, are purer, or better intended.
21:50:52 Eiros folds his arms, hands in sleeves
21:50:58 [Fayena]: I howl not for the countless who have walked a dark path, but for those who have suffered for these peoples arrogance, that they could escape the inevitable, because they can convince themselves it makes sense.
21:51:00 Deliarís makes many small but rapid nods at Fayena
21:51:28 Fayena finishes her speech, pauses a second, then looks up, and sings a loud, holding note up to the sky, before sitting back down, and resting against the wood
21:51:34 Mehtomiel howls
21:51:44 Dewynee lets out a cry as she looks up.
21:51:45 Ikaen lets out a mild howl.
21:51:46 Sarama begins to scream.
21:51:50 Ithariel lets out a long, quiet howl.
21:51:55 Eiros face is expressionless
21:52:12 Alvaneesa howls to the sky, holding a clear note
21:52:16 Cadenza throws back her head, letting otu a low howl.
21:52:34 Deliarís just looks at the people around her for a moment, smiling. Before she makesr a short, but clear howl.
21:52:41 Sarama waits for the noise to die out before she speaks.
21:53:19 [Sarama]: You did not reveal of what you spoke about, but I think it is very clear for everyone around here what it was about.
21:53:45 [Sarama]: All I can say is that they are on my to do list, right below orcs.
21:53:52 Mehtomiel smiles drily
21:54:06 [Fayena]: its a story ive seen more than once, it applies to a few cases. That one is just the most prominant, and the most vivid to me
21:54:38 Sarama nods slightly.
21:54:44 [Sarama]: True I guess.
21:55:07 Sarama looks around the moonwell.
21:55:30 [Sarama]: There are three who has yet to howl.
21:56:02 Sarama looks across the moonwell.
21:56:20 [Sarama]: Do you wish to howl?
21:56:27 Sarama looks at Ikaen and then on Eiros.
21:56:55 Ikaen looks at his hand with Cadenza's gently pulling it away as he clambers up nodding.
21:57:09 Eiros meets Sarama's gaze and looks toward the well
21:57:15 Sarama nods at Ikaen with a smile.
21:57:21 Mehtomiel looks at Ikaen and nods
21:57:29 [Sarama]: You have the word then.
21:58:23 Ithariel moves away from the stone, so that she can see Ikaen better.
21:58:33 [Ikaen]: I am Ikaenin Ta'Mae Moraen..This story isnt a pleasent one but it dwells on the past, and of some lost people along the way.
21:58:52 Sarama nods slightly.
21:59:42 Cadenza purses her lips, head tilted as she looks up towards Ikaenin.
21:59:47 [Ikaen]: I'll start with when I arrive in stormwind..I was young and careless as all young ones should be, I had no friends..I didnt have a proper upbringing..and I had no family until upon arrival being told my father died recently..
22:00:33 [Ikaen]: Shinodan Darkwood took me in..I was to follow in his footsteps and become a Keeper and hunt the corrupt and those who would harm the balance.
22:00:53 [Ikaen]: As my life pressed on I was still alone..Until.
22:00:57 Ikaen snorts lightly.
22:01:07 [Ikaen]: One stubborn druid caught my eye in the city..
22:01:30 Cadenza cocks her head to the side, raising a brow.
22:01:30 Sarama grins slightly.
22:02:03 [Ikaen]: She was my way out of being alone, she still is my spark of hope and happiness..
22:02:34 Eiros looks toward the two then back toward the well
22:02:51 Sarama drinks from her hipflask.
22:03:32 [Ikaen]: We'd argue one day..make up the next, We had a child..Tanavar, and..I loved them both very much but through my happiness my occupation took a hold of family's life and my decision to be there for them..or to be the best at hunting cultists.
22:03:49 Cadenza frowns.
22:03:57 Eiros bows down graciously.
22:04:10 Mehtomiel snorts
22:04:21 Sarama nods politely at Eiros.
22:04:21 [Ikaen]: And of course..through my selfishness..I lost my family, I was not there for my son..neither my life-mate..
22:04:59 [Ikaen]: Upon word that my son died, I became of void of anger..I was lost, once again alone.
22:05:30 [Ikaen]: I'd spend my days sitting on a bench staring at a toy of his.
22:05:41 [Ikaen]: Or gathering more scars from taking down cultists.
22:06:34 [Ikaen]: But I knew something was still there..I had to do something, and upon that..I got my sign once my mate returned to offer me another chance.
22:07:15 [Ikaen]: I changed that day, Not for fighting, Not for sorrow..But for the love and the assurance of happiness.
22:08:00 Sarama huffs slightly.
22:08:15 [Ikaen]: And all I can say is..I still regret the day I made that horrible choice, In that I howl for Takash..My father, Tanavarr..My son, And Cadenza for putting up with my moronic staleness for all these years.
22:08:47 Mehtomiel eyes Ikaen for a moment
22:09:03 Ikaen inclines his head letting out a light howl.
22:09:08 Sarama nods slightly and screams out in a short burst.
22:09:11 Cadenza throws her head back, letting out a low howl.
22:09:18 Dewynee grins somewhat, letting out brief howl.
22:09:20 Ithariel howls in a loud, short way.
22:09:22 Ikaen slumps down, sighing lowly too himself.
22:09:24 Mehtomiel howls
22:09:28 Deliarís howls
22:09:39 Sarama waits for the noise to die out before speaking.
22:10:12 [Sarama]: I dont understand the wrong? You put duty before your family, you did what any kaldorei is expected to do.
22:10:20 [Ikaen]: No.
22:10:23 Mehtomiel nods at Sarama
22:10:29 [Ikaen]: Family is above all in my view..
22:10:35 [Mehtomiel]: Duty, always.
22:10:49 [Ikaen]: Its not duty when it becomes a hobby.
22:10:57 Mehtomiel snorts
22:11:01 [Sarama]: But your duty, is for you family.
22:11:21 [Sarama]: And not only yours, but many others.
22:11:34 [Sarama]: If you dont do your duty, other families will suffer the same fate as yours.
22:11:39 [Cadenza]: Oh and Ikaenin, for the record. Life-mates don't give up when there is a spot of bother, they are there 'til the end.
22:11:45 A sly smirk spreads across Cadenza's face.
22:11:51 [Ikaen]: Did I not mention I was selfish, Cad?
22:12:01 Sarama shrugs slightly.
22:12:10 [Cadenza]: I never said you were? Hm.
22:12:30 Sarama grunts slightly.
22:12:31 [Ikaen]: Well I could class that as being selfish..The bothersome bit.
22:12:47 [Sarama]: Im just saying, I dont think you found your priorities yet.
22:12:54 Sarama shrugs slightly.
22:13:09 [Ikaen]: Be that so, I wronged.
22:13:29 Sarama looks around the moonwell.
22:13:46 Dewynee quietly shuffles down from the moonwell, offering a brief smile before she bows.
22:13:50 Mehtomiel smiles faintly and looks at Sarama
22:13:51 Dewynee bows down graciously.
22:13:58 [Sarama]: The crowd have been thinning out and I believe there is only one left to howl.
22:14:03 Sarama nods at Dewynee.
22:14:12 [Deliarís]: Who?
22:14:32 [Sarama]: I havent howled yet.
22:14:37 Deliarís looks at where eiros was sitting.
22:14:43 Deliarís smiles
22:15:04 Sarama stands uo.
22:15:27 [Sarama]: There is something we always say to new recruits.
22:15:35 Cadenza looks at Sarama.
22:15:41 [Sarama]: There are no old guardians.
22:15:43 Mehtomiel smiles grimly
22:15:52 Sarama looks at everyone.
22:15:59 Cadenza tilts her head to the side, seeming to ponder the thought.
22:16:03 [Sarama]: When one die, an other has to fill the hole so we can continue our fight. There has always been someone before us, and there will be one taking our place as we no longer are able to serve.
22:16:07 Ithariel turns to have a direct view of Sarama.
22:16:15 [Sarama]: My predecessor Almae Shadowstar, she became the new high guardian as her High Guardian was killed in an ambush near the black temple on Dreanor among with many other guardians.
22:16:27 [Sarama]: For her followed hard times, being suddenly put in the position of high guardian, she had not been the second in command maybe not even the 3rd and was therefor not prepared for this task.
22:16:35 Sarama drinks from her hipflask
22:16:52 Mehtomiel nods
22:16:52 [Sarama]: But her sense of duty was strong and she did not hesitate a second to do what was demanded of her. To this should be said that the order was under attack by mischievous forces.
22:17:05 [Sarama]: During her first period as high guardian, the order was decimated as many members got assassinated in their sleep.
22:17:17 [Sarama]: What need to be known ish that Almae had a bigger heart than she had anything else, always wanting to teach lessons of life and make everyone a better creation in the eyes of elune. Caring and compasionate.
22:17:27 Sarama grins slightly.
22:17:36 [Sarama]: This is why she could accept a drunken beat down kaldorei with ruffled blue hair into her ranks.
22:17:44 Mehtomiel 's mouth twitches
22:17:49 [Sarama]: This same compassion is also what cursed her, as she felt herself responsible for not being able to protect the members that lost their life under her command.
22:18:01 [Sarama]: With noone else around she often turned to the drunk and broken bird for advice. Without knowing how, I found myself to be her right hand.
22:18:16 [Sarama]: And as such, I got a very good look into her inner struggle, and her attempts to teach and educate that often semed to end of deaf ear. She tried hard, but most of the times it came out wrong.
22:18:35 [Sarama]: I think that she was ashamed of the shape the order was in. That it had not been able to recover under her command. I never blamed her for this. Except for maybe being to soft and wildhearted at times.
22:18:45 [Sarama]: She wash burning for vengance towards those who sent assassins on those that had put their trust in her. I often advised against plansh that would give her the revenge she looked for, because it would cost us many lives at the same time.
22:18:55 Sarama chuckles slightly
with a smile.
22:19:04 [Sarama]: She never was a good strategist, but the fire to fight wash there without a doubt.
22:19:13 Sarama silents her chuckle.
22:19:15 Cadenza smiles dryly.
22:19:23 [Sarama]: Then one day, Illidor stormfeather found his way back to the guardians. He wouldnt share how he survived, and it was something odd about him.
22:19:31 [Sarama]: Almae who had struggled so hard, was first relieved by her old commanders return. But when he showed no interest in taking back the leadership she started to get filled with guilt.
22:19:46 Mehtomiel raises an eyebrow
22:19:47 [Sarama]: Guilt over that the order had not recovered in the absence of her former commander. She felt as she had failed, and it felt worse each time he looked at her.
22:20:00 [Sarama]: This is what I believed eventually drove her to attempt her vengance alone, because one day she was simply gone.
22:20:13 Cadenza frowns.
22:20:13 [Sarama]: We found pieces of her ravaged gear on the island of Quel'dalas.
22:20:21 Sarama sighs slightly.
22:20:21 Cadenza blinks.
22:20:34 [Sarama]: As the second in command, I was declared High Guardian.
22:20:47 [Sarama]: I howl for Almae Shadowstar, former High Guardian of the Cenarion Guardians and to all those who been before us and all those who will come after us.
22:21:11 Sarama tenses her body and shouts out a scream.
22:21:12 Mehtomiel lets out a long howl
22:21:16 Cadenza throws her head back, she then lets out a loud howl.
22:21:17 Ikaen lets out a low howl as he tilts his head.
22:21:27 Ithariel lets out a long, pronounced howl.
22:21:31 Deliarís gets on her feet and lets out a long piercing howl.
22:22:03 Sarama silence her scream and nods slightly. Then sits down.
22:22:29 [Sarama]: All have howled.
22:22:42 [Sarama]: We know alittle about eachother we did not know before.
22:23:14 Mehtomiel nods slightly
22:23:31 [Deliarís]: It is indeed, as if it seems that one sometimes only truely recognize the great people around after they've perished.
