Chapter 2

A year and a half later…

Notouchme had never seen a city like Darnassus. Trees grew every where and the whole city was open to the elements. You could see the blue sky over head and hear the sounds of animals as they moved about the city. The place was so unlike Ironforge where he had grown up that he wondered how the Night Elves could stand the openness.

"I think I just saw a Night Elf woman changing clothes in one of those houses," Notouchy, his twin brother said.

Tabby, his brother's wife, frowned down at him, "Then don't look."

"Don't they have any modesty here?"

"Don't you know enough not to look?"

"I'm male. What do you expect me to do when I see a naked female?"

Notouchme shook his head. Perhaps bringing his two relatives along hadn't been such a good idea. He had come to Darnassus to find Ozara so he could let her know that he was about to enter Warlock training. Deep down, He hoped that she could see that Warlocks fought for the light even though they used demons. Tabby was proof of that. She was a Paladin of the light and had married his brother who was a great Warlock. But they're bickering and joking was starting to grate on his every nerve. That and he only had a week until he started his warlock training and he was cutting it close as it was.

He glanced back at the two of them as the walked towards the great tree in the center of Darnassus, "Will the two of you please stop it? I need to think of where I might find my friend at."

Tabby crossed her arms, "It would be helpful if you told me her name."

"I thought I had told you her name? I'm sure I told Notouchy."

"And does he remember everything you tell him?"

His brother shrugged, "I think I zoned out after you told me I would have to come here. I hate this place."

His wife looked down at him, "Just because of their attitude towards Warlocks?"

"Attitude? Have you seen how then treat my kind here?! I can't even get any training in this place!"

"Can we please find my friend?"

They soon approached the great tree and as they walked around it, Notouchme looked out over the small bridges that spanned the lake in the center of Darnassus. He spotted the Saber trainers that Ozara had told him about and he wondered how he would look riding one of those great cats. Then he saw a giant beast that he hadn't seen since his friend had left Ironforge. Biglug was standing near the saber trainers next to a tall druid that he recognized as Ozara's father, Falhoun.

He was speaking to a human mage and the hairs stood up on the back of the gnome's neck. Without a second thought, He took off running towards the rhino.

"Hey! Where are you going?!" Notouchy said.

He didn't stop but ran even faster when he saw a small bag of coins passed to the mage. What was Falhoun doing? Didn't he know how much Biglug meant to Ozara?

He could see the glow of magic swirl around the mage as the human began his spell, "No!"

They didn't here him as he raced over the one bridge and headed for the second one. He decided at this point it might have been faster if he had swam. The magic also swirled around Biglug and then the all of a sudden the Rhino vanished from sight. He ground his teeth together and hurtled towards the druid.

The mage walked away, but Notouchme didn't care about him. He wanted at Falhound. The druid crossed his arms as a satisfied look crossed his face. The gnome skidded to a halt at his feet and tugged on his robe, "Why did you just do that?!"

Ozara's father glanced down at him and raised an eyebrow, "I see that it is the gnome that my daughter had an infatuation with."

Notouchme crossed his arms, "Where did you send Biglug? Does Ozara know about this?"

"I do not care about my daughter. She relinquished her rights over my gifts when She spoke to me like she did a week ago."

"She what?" He grinned, "It's about time she stood up to you!"

"So I disposed of an annoying pest," The druid sneered down at him, "My daughter was never as obedient after she met you."

"That Rhino wasn't a pest! He was her pet and she loved that big wooly animal," He scowled up at the Night Elf, "And what do you mean she changed after me? All I did was point out the truth to her!"

His brother and Tabby arrived just then. Falhoun looked down his nose at Notouchme, "You are not aware of our ways Gnome. What is truth to you is falsehood to a Night Elf."

Notouchy glared at the druid, "Wait just a minute! Our father was an ambassador and he knew almost as much about your people as you do."

"And you are?"

"His brother."

Tabby stepped forward, "What's going on? What happened?"

Notouchme pointed at Ozara's father, "He just got rid of his Daughter's favorite pet!"

"What?" She looked at the druid, "But why?"

"She was no longer my child. I disowned her before the druidic council last week," Falhouns said, "She disobeyed me for the last time."

"But how did she disobey you? What did she do?"

"She listened to some stupid little gnome and instead of listening to her calling of becoming a holy priestess, She became some mediocre hunter."

"But hunters are great fighters!"

"It matters little at this point. The beast has been sent to Scholazar basin where it will be happy and She has left for stormwind a week ago."

He turned and walked away from them.

"What?!" Notouchme said, "But…"

He clenched his hands into fists and stared after the druid. She had gone to stormwind? A week ago? She could be anywhere now! "How am I suppose to find Ozara now?!"

Tabby's eyebrows shot up, "That was Ozara's father?" Then she did a double take, "Ozara is the one that you were searching for?! Why didn't you tell me that earlier?!"

He looked up at her with wide eyes, "Because I though Notouchy had told you who it was I was looking for," He stared at her, "Don't tell me you know her…"

"Yes, as a matter of fact I do," She threw her arms out wide, "I've been her friend for almost a year or so!"

"Why didn't you tell me this?!"

"Because I didn't know who you were looking for!" Tabby dstepped back and covered her eyes, "And we don't have time to get you to stormwind to search for her."

Notouchy sighed, "Then He can go on and start his warlock training. We'll go and find Ozara."

Notouchme looked at them, "But I want to go with you."

"You can't. She's reach training level 68. If she's left stormwind, She'll have gone to the outlands. You know how dangerous that place is for someone with a training level of one?"

"But…" His shoulders slumped, "She needs to know what I want to become."

"We'll find her for you, brother. Now go start training to become a great warlock."

"Tell her I'm looking for her."

Tabby grinned down at him, "I'm sure she'll know when we tell her."

"Also tell her we're still friends and that she can write to me."

"Would you get going before you miss the ship?" Notouchy said.
