Chapter 1
Note to self:
Ask Lor to invest in carpet; tiles are cold in the middle of winter. Especially first thing in the morning. Who am I kidding, it's eleven o'clock. Lucky classes don't start until tomorrow. I should still probably head on over.
My wardrobe is exactly 9 steps from my bed. I think that's groovy.
Okay, rule number one: Blend in. So I guess I will not be wearing that half of my wardrobe.
Oh, shit. I still have to pack!
Well, today I'll just wear my Simple Dress, but I'll pack my Simple Black Dress and White Woolen Dress. Yeah that works, ooh!
Definitely taking my mageweave shirts; lavender, pink and orange. Yep, Dark Silk Shirt, Rich Purple Silk Shirt.
Will this make me look too rich. Yes, it probably does. Blue, and white linen shirts should change that nicely. Linen Pants and Boots.
Two of each.
I have too many shirts not enough pants.
Ooh, Swashbuckler's shirts, black and red, for the day when cleavage becomes necessary. Because I am determined to show off this year. I am desperate for someone, anyone, to show interest in me.
Shit, still need more pants... Gotta stop getting side tracked.
Okay, I'll get Nora to quickly run and get three more pairs of Linen Pants.
Nora is not happy with me, she's giving me this look that just screams 'Don't you dare ask me for anything!'
Maybe you should have passed high school Nora, then you could have a real job, you could have even been a shopkeeper rather than a maid. She's a very high ranking maid, a wonder she is even allowed near this house.
"Nora!"
Nope. She ain't happy.
"Could you please run to the auction house and get me three pairs of Linen Pants. It's urgent."
She's glaring.
"Élanaria this is the last thing I ever have to do for you. Ever. Knowing that is worth more than my entire year's income. So I'll gladly do it."
Hell yeah you will. You're my bitch...
"Oh thank you Nora! You're a darl' y'know?"
"Speak proper Orcish you impertinent child! It will do no good to have the Regent Lord's niece behaving as a common lass. How you are remotely related I have yet to work out and if anyone were to judge by behaviour they would not have a hope of ever discovering!"
I'm squinting at her. She's tryna stare me down. Not today Nora. I'm only squinting because she's such and idiot. I mean she just called me impertinent, and I didn't even know she could speak words that long. Disappointing that she can't work out how a niece is connected to an uncle.
She's rolling her eyes and turning away. Scurrying like the rat she is down the hall.
"Linen pants! Three pairs! Now please Nora!"
I get the feeling she's flipping me off behind the corner. Rude.
Well after that I'll be done packing. I'll get to Silvermoon University at the last possible acceptable time. Meet my roommate.
No wrong order.
Find my dorm. Find my room. Meet my roommate.
Yeah that's the right order.
We become best friends. We both pick the same lectures tomorrow. By the end of the term we'll have ended up picking the same class, and then we'll study and train for that and then...
Then all the doors are opened!
In three years' time I will be qualified for adventuring.
I'll be safely sent to Sunstrider Isle a month after finally graduating. After culling whatever issues there are there I'll keep moving on! I'll be famous one day!
No one will care about Jaina Proudmoore or Sylvanas Windrunner.
It'll be all about me; Élanaria Solanda-Theron!
That's way too long.
Doesn't roll neatly off your tongue.
Which is exactly why I go by a much simpler version.
Ellie Solron
Eh. I got time to work on it. Three years from tonight. Glory be to me! I'm my own fantasy!
Ooh. That rhymed!
I can hear Nora leaving. Although, that could be someone coming inside. No it was Nora, there ain't any footsteps that I can hear.
I should check that sundial.
It's two thirty. I have one and a half hours to get there or else I'll be cut off!
From both uni and Lor. Both will be bad.
Very, very bad.
Aww Kael'Thas!
I haven't decided on my hair style. I think my uni hair can be more party and then when I graduate I'll go more practical.
I can always change it later.
Then again, first impressions are everything.
Ok. I've got it. I'm going to go natural. Just have my hair out, but not with the annoying soaked look. The elegant yet sexy 'oh my hair is out with some serious bangs'.
Hehehe, bangs.
Oh god I'm immature!
As long as I don't talk to anyone when I get there no one will know! Plus, I can always pull the 'my last name is Theron' card.
Nora hurry up, I've got an hour left! So not cool. I wonder of I can put in a word to have her thrown out.
As if that'll work. Lor's all for trusting the 'right people'.
Personally I think she's not one, but hey, when she steals your entire jewellery box don't blame me! She'd take it all straight to the auction house.
I wonder if she even knows about the possibility of soul-bound objects. Serves her right for not staying for her senior year.
Oh yeah! I hear the door opening!
Aww shieet. Those footsteps are way too heavy.
Under the bed or in the closet? Too late, under the bed.
My door is opening... I'm so screwed. I left my suitcase out...
Their boots are clinking. I love their colour, it's like this... deep, rusty, red. So shiny too! Dammit they've stopped. Right in front if where I am.
Their boots are facing me. I like their boots...
"Élanaria get out here before I drag you out by your pathetic ears!"
I just squeaked. I wouldn't be surprised if I'd just pissed myself. He's terrifying and currently very angry. No way on Azeroth am I moving.
He totally heard my squeak though.
Oh no. He's leaning down.
There is one green eye that looks mighty pissed and its staring right at me.
