Inspired by questing out in Pandaria as my Blood Elf Death Knight Destiny,
Destiny's diary to the new world
Day 1,
So far I hate it here on the Horde airship, the noise is loud and the smoke makes me want to gag up an already dead lung. Listening to General Nazgrim waste his breath yelling at the goblin engineers and the blood elf dock-cleaners makes me want to pull my hair out. I don't see how I could have ever been alive and had to deal with this, we've been traveling for three days following Hellscreams order to stop the Alliance from claiming this 'new world' personally I wanted to stay in Ebon Hold and waste away being since I am a death knight.
I cannot say my trip has been as bad as I make it sound; I did happen to make friends with a troll and his pet Snuff. The mist up here is thick and hard to see through but I have this sickening feeling that something is going to happen.
We've been shot out of the sky by Alliance warship; although the Horde airship is still sky-bound we've taken a lot of damage. The goblin engineers are racing around the docks and underbelly trying to put out the fire; we are losing altitude and closing in on an Alliance base-camp. I've taken arms to the cannons below the dock trying to shoot down any Human scum I see wielding a weapon.
I've personally entered the Alliance base with Rivett's handgun to destroy their bomb supplies and kill off what Alliance rats get in my way, I did this with pleasure.
We've succeeded in fighting the Alliance off, me and a few of General Nazgrim's soldiers have taken the temple from the Humans. When we reached the Commander at arms he jumped off the edge of the buildings railing and onto one of our goblin Gyrocopters. General Nazgrim was not pleased with his escape nor was I but it couldn't have been stopped, we failed in destroying the Alliance army.
General Nazgrim was taken over by what these strange panda-like beings call the 'Sha' it seems to be a problem they have had within the past and we Horde have brought it back into their lives.
Although we have not made ally's with the panda-like village Honeydew, they seem to not be ally's with the Alliance either so I did not have to slay any of them. I was informed about some of their villagers being recruited by the Alliance though to help them build something, although the panda-like woman could not tell me much of anything she sure did waste my time talking about brew—putting that aside I left along with General Nazgrim.
I'm beat after all that fighting and running but there is no time to rest, much is needed to be done now that we are on land. I've been sent out to rescue any survivors that I can and report them back to General Nazgrim, it seems I've run across an Alliance airbase; it's best if I wait for my orders before entering and eliminating the Human scums.
Running across the familiar troll I have befriended throughout the trip, but it seems I wasn't the first one to him, his eyes have been ripped from his head and his beloved pet Snuff seems to be missing from his side. I have agreed to aid him in finding his missing belongings…on my way out of the area I couldn't help but lay my cold blue eyes across what looked to be an ancient statue, although it is in complete ruin I'll keep my eyes open for the rest of the pieces; maybe it'll make a good picture if I add the drawings together.
These Hozen's are rather annoying over-grown monkeys that seem to have a death wish if they keep bothering me, I've retrieved the troll's eyes and gun, we have come across his companion's body; as I lay the lifeless saber in his arms I couldn't quite tell if he was crying or just having a horrible case of hiccups. Either way we both have agreed to hunt down the Hozen's leader, as we cross the land I have run into a few pieces to the ancient statue along the way.
I have killed the Hozen's leader Konk (I'm guessing was his name, he repeated that a lot.) My dear troll friend could finally rest in peace as General Nazgrim and Sergeant Gorrok entered the cave, it seems we'll be using the monkey king's cavern as our new hideout for now. Our goblin engineer Rivett Clutchpop informed me about the Alliance having explosives within the airbase—it doesn't surprise me a goblin would ignore most things but jump up and get excited at the first sight of explosives. But putting that aside I have my orders to infiltrate the Alliance airbase and slain their commanders and use the explosives I can get my cold dead hands on to shoot what aircrafts they have out of the sky.
The first commander I ran across seemed well enough dead more than alive, being the same member of the Ebon Hold this dwarf gave me a worthy fight for a Death Knight. The twin engineer gnomes were a disappointment, their bombs only tickled my thick black armor; slaying them was nothing but a game of catch that mouse. The last one I could find rested in the tallest building in the airbase, it was easy to sneak around the two guards outside the building. What a thrill it was to slaughter that cocky Human with my axe, my mission here was done and I could return to General Nazgrim with the news on finding the main commander. He was no were to be seen within the airbase.
General Nazgrim wasn't pleased when he heard the news about not finding the last commander, but my orders were given to kill each and every one of them. I have failed in that manner; nevertheless General Nazgrim has sent me out towards the Alliance airbase once more but this time to investigate the caverns just west of it. As I had expected the coward commander stood in the cavern muttering something about failing his king. I wasted no time in slaughtering him, but before I could deal the finishing blow the Human scum before me turned into something less than a man—it was like what happened to General Nazgrim at the temple but not just his arms.
When the screaming had ended I stood before what the panda-like beings called a Sha, it was hideous and a sight no living thing should be faced against; times like this is when I thank my curse being a death knight. I raised my axe and proceeded to continue our fight, man or Sha it doesn't matter the thing is going to die by my blade.
I slaughtered the 'thing' in front of me and left the cavern as I made my way back towards the Alliance airbase. Seems I was late for the party when I noticed General Nazgrim, Rivett, Sergeant Gorrok and the female orc Shokia had cleaned the airbase up. A wave of accomplishment washed over me as I dug through my bags till my cold hands found a rugged type of cloth. Pulling it out and unwrapping it to reveal the Horde's red and black flag. I ripped the blue and gold Alliance flag off the pole before I replaced it with the Horde flag, after a few moments of letting the glory of the well won battle sink in I report back to General Nazgrim for further orders.
It was high-noon when I returned to General Nazgrim, all I could focus on was the dangerous Hozen's before us, there were so many of them—I don't remember seeing so many before I entered the Alliance airbase; where did they come from? Nevertheless I've received my orders to discover more of this land and to eliminate the annoyance known as Dook Ookem.
Shademaster Kiryn might be undead but she still has a sweet personality; unlike myself but she has sent me out to find her some flowers around the Serenity Falls. Agreeing to aid the undead rogue with her poison making I set out to Serenity Falls in search for the flower she described to me.
For some reason I felt at peace while my search was an epic fumble I did happen to run across some Water Sprites playing in the fountains nearby a big patch of flowers. Seems they were the flowers I needed for Shademaster Kiryn, with this done I'll move to my next mission to discover more of this land and to shut the stupid Hozen Dook up.
I have found where this Dook Ookem stays, seems it looks quite like an arena to me… When I confronted the large over-sized monkey we were surrounded by a good hundred or so Hozen's. Guessing this is their runner-up leader, nevermind that it doesn't matter what he is to them; he's going to be dead to them in a short moment. The fight could have lasted much longer if his annoying crowd of children hadn't annoyed me as much, nevertheless I stand the victor and it seems that the Hozen either scatter when I walk near them or simply tremble at my glare. I like this feeling…
I wasn't alone after I had scared off the Hozen's it seems I had been watched, turning my head to meet one of the panda-like beings staring right back at me. He seemed to be no threat but simply praised me of my fighting skills and asked me to seek him out. Although he did not tell me where to find him, he had just told me to follow the road from the Shire of the Sun. Either way; I'll check it out after I finish out my orders.
I've come across the Shire of the Sun on my way leaving the Hozen's arena, it was a small little shire but it seems to be loved by the ghosts. My cold eyes caught the silver light of an old teapot, I thought nothing of it but it seems something deep inside me told me to take it anyways, I stuffed the ancient teapot into my bags and continued my journey to find the Shire of the Moon.
It was much easier than I had expected to find the Shire of the Moon, just as the Sun and Moon in the sky; the two weren't that far away. The well at the Shire was rather lovely in a strange calm way, as I looked at my reflection in its water my cold dead eyes held no emotion or any sign of life within my undead living body. The quick flash of gold made my head turn with a sharp motion, dipping my gloved hand into the warm water before pulling out a small golden coin. It seemed old by the feel of the metal against my black armored hand.
Returning to the newly formed Horde base with the flowers Shademaster Kiryn had asked for I couldn't help but notice the Hozen's had backed off for the time being, General Nazgrim waved me off after I reported back to him with what news I found. Seeing there were no further orders for me I decided to accept the panda-like being's invitation, who knows what the strange being could inform me with…maybe it could help the Horde better understand this land.
