A/N: Okay, seriously, am I the only person who thinks the Son's of Hodir daily quests are… a bit innuendo-ish? Seriously. I mean, Thrusting Hodir's Spear can sound totally wrong IN context, let alone out of context. Just a thought from me.

I idly wondered if Vile was just a vindictive Abomination that wanted to watch people suffer to alleviate his own torment. Then I smacked myself, duh. Of course he is. He works with the Knights of The Ebon Blade; they all want the Scarlet Crusade, the Lich King, and all of his little monkeys to suffer slowly.

I looked down at the buildings that had just ignited under the Njorndar Proto-Drake that I was riding's assault, and the scurrying little Vrykul people rushing to put the fires out, who probably would have ripped my throat out through my nostrils if given the chance for the little pest that I was being by burning their houses to the dirt. Oh, well. If they got violent, I could a: run for it; b: kill them all with furious, bloody, painful arrows. Volley hurts man, it really does. I'd have to kill some of them anyways, around 15 or so, to finish another Daily for those vindictive creeps in the Shadow Vault.

I flew the Drake over to the rampart-like structures overlooking the sea. I dismounted and walked calmly over to one of the harpoon guns pointing out over the cliff. I grabbed onto the controls of one of the things and looked over to see a Njorndar Proto-Drake Rider flying right at me. Lambs to the slaughter.

I began firing harpoons at him, and after about four stabbed into his drake, they both fell out of the sky. This one was boring; to an extreme. I mean, come on, the bastards don't even fight back, they just fly around in little circles! Oh well, 13 gold in pocket, and I didn't have to do anything, really.

Now came the fun part.

I hoped onto my green wyvern, and flew over to the arena area. I saw a Njorndar Spear-sister looking at the arena, which, surprisingly, had some activity in it; bunch of my fellow Hordies killing some of the quest-only elites in there. Oh, well. I sent my wolf at the Spear-sister and fired a Concussive shot at her. She turned to me, before Zeinth growled at her and charged. She was stunned for a second, and was focused on Zeinth long enough for me to pop a Steady Shot and an Explosive Shot at her. She turned to me, and I kept firing Steady Shots at her, and before she could take two steps towards me, my pet's assault and the arrows brought her down, hard.

I looted the body and stabbed the Ebon Blade Banner into the ground next to her. I killed another six of the annoying Vrykul cannon-fodder in much the same way, planting banners at their feet and moving on. Eventually I made my way to the training area, and accidently caught the attention of two angry Vrykul men who were beating the snot out of each other. One leapt all the way over to me, and began trying to kill me with an axe. My pet caught him, but the other one, charging towards us, bashed into me with the force of a kodo.

Oh, now it was on. I dropped a freezing trap under him, and used the Lock 'n' Load ability to fire two Explosive shots into his old rival's back. He went down pretty quickly, and my pet was freed up to maim the other one. I used Disengage to leap back from the frozen Vrykul, and fired a Concussive round into him. Rinse and repeat from the Spear-sister earlier. They were both dead, and I only had very minor wounds. I killed a few more Vrykul, before I flew off, back to the Shadow Vault. I landed and turned in the quests with Vile and The Leaper. The coin jingled delightfully in my bag.

Then I went to Baron Sliver.

Turns out I forgot to drop an Ebon Blade Banner on one of the corpses.

Dailies suck.

A/N: Yeah. Y'ever done this? Killed all those Vrykul, gotten attacked, maimed, and possibly died when you pulled one too many of the bastards, only to come back and find Baron Sliver with a big ol' silver question mark? I have. And thus, in my effort to write about all the major dailies of Northrend and how much it sucks to do them all, I have made this little "Ode to Not-so-much joy," featuring the works of Zalker, my main.
