I sighed to myself as I flew over the Bulwark separating Tirisfal from the Plaguelands. I gave a wave down the tower guards as I flew past. I flexed my left hand experimentally as it glowed slightly.
"Damn rings. Why is this power so hard to control?"
I started to revue my mission. Sylvanas had sent me to New Avalon on a two sided mission. First, to spy on the citizens and evaluate whether or not they were a threat to the Forsaken. Second, and more importantly, was to find a death knight known as Caithlin, or "The Frozen Mistress". A spy already placed there had already been slain by her, though luckily she had thought she was human, and living.
My thoughts were interrupted as the bat I was riding reeled wildly. I pulled her reins carefully and reached out my left hand, stroking her head gently. "It's alright Serena, it's alright." The bat looked back at me and I smiled at her. "I know, being close to HIM is throwing you off. Don't worry, once I land, I'll send you back to the Batmaster and you can get a good meal."
The bat nodded and continued forward, determined to make her friend proud.
As I got closer to my destination, a giant floating fortress began to materialize. Serena began to buck a bit more and I smiled. "You back to the Tower, I'll be back, I promise."
I turned in the saddle and fell from the bat, falling to the ground at high speed.
