Chapter Seven: So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light .
When I woke up the day after the mating I was alone and sore. Deta was by my side with a steaming bowl of healing potion, while she made me drink it she told me that Garrosh had already left for his journey with a handful of warriors. I felt a little hurt that he had just left without saying anything, but then again what was he supposed to say? I was his mate now, his to control and do with whatever he wanted. He had no reason to explain anything to me or even to be nice to me. I just had to get used to it, this was my faith.
I sigh stroking Caleb sitting in an arena that is established inside of Ogrimmar. No one came here, only when Garrosh has made an fighting event. But he isn't in Ogrimmar, so the arena was empty and quiet. Just what I needed to collect my thoughts and be alone with my guardian wolf for a time.
"I feel your sorrow Ayla, but I cannot read your mind. Please tell me what you are thinking." I sigh looking into his deep blue eyes, I wanted to tell him everything, but I just do not know how to say it. He is the only one I trust in this place.
"I just do not understand how Mori could make this my faith. You do know that when he has gotten what he wants from me, he has no need for me, and I am sure he will end my life at that point." I tell him in the clan language. I might think we are alone, but you should not always trust your instinct. Caleb whine quietly and caress me with his head, his fur feels soft against my shoulder making me feel a little better.
"You do not know if that is what is going to happen. A lot of things can happen. I have felt him struggling against his pride and hate against humans, and you Ayla. You can change his view." I smile at Caleb's reassurance, he truly is sent from Mori to protect me and make me feel better.
"There you are Ayla!" I look up at the one speaking to see it's Deta walking towards us, with a package wrapped in skin. I get up to meet her as she reached our spot in the middle of the arena.
"hey Deta, what have you got there?" I ask her, she looks down at the package and smiles then reach it towards me.
"A man of your clan came with it, saying it is your mating gift from the Mog'Ur. And that your mother and father wanted you to have this when you were ready." I gulp and takes the package from her and starts to unwrap it.
"I can feel its power, surely it isn't-" Caleb cuts himself off as I reveal what it is. The staff of the Wolf whispere. it looks like a spear as high as me, around the end of the long wooden handle there is wrapped a bundle of wolf fur, fur from all the wolf leaders that has been through time. The sharp tip is of a special stone there does not exist anymore, which make the staff old and one of a kind.
This staff is part of an old fairy tale that is told in my clan, about a girl who will bring salvation to a land that is believed to be long lost. And the girl will do it with this staff followed by a white wolf of the old race. I look at it weirdly not understanding why my parents wanted me to have it, surely they did not think that I am a part of that fairy tale? It is just a silly tale the elder in the clan tells the children before they are sent to sleep. Nothing more.
I put it to the ground looking at it, suddenly feeling a power, an urge awake in me. And I feel all sort of emotion run through my body, emotions I am quickly to discover is not my own. But what are they then?
"so.. what are your class then?" Deta ask me. I jump a bit completely forgetting that she was there.
"come again? Class?" I ask, finding that term foreign, we do not have classes in our clan.
"yeah, are you a priest or mage.. or maybe even a druid?" I look at her weirdly then Caleb pushes his head into my hand and I look down at him smiling.
"I do not know, we do not have classes in the clan. But I have learned to fight and has always been seen as weird in my clan because I could make the earth do funny things." I tell her. She looks at me questioningly and I sigh then raise my hand and point it at the ground, palms flat. I then collect my thoughts around what I want it to do and the ground starts shaking, small rocks flies in the air. I then make them fly around me smiling widely, I have missed playing around with the elements. I stop concentrating, making the rocks fall to the ground and look at Deta. She looks at me in awe, then smiles.
"You have skills human. There is only one person who could help you perfect them to the finest, making you nearly unbreakable, but you are not allowed to see him." she tells me shrugging. I raise an eyebrow questioningly padding Caleb.
"who, Deta?" She look at me then at the ground sighing.
"Vol'jin." she almost whispers. I gulp feeling the curiosity rise inside of me, along with a lot of questions.
"Why am I not allowed to see him?" she rubs her hands together nervously, this I do not understand why. She should not be nervous of me. She look up at me, her red eyes on my ice blue.
"He's a troll" she states.
"But the trolls are a part of the Horde, are they not?" she looks around nervously, do I ask too many questions maybe? Or does she not know how to answer them.
"yes, but Garrosh says that the trolls cannot be trusted, and as his mate you should follow this example, Ayla." She must really mean this, because she used my name. She always just call me human. I nod quietly looking at the ground, then start to feel dizzy. I grab on hard on Caleb making him whimper.
"Ayla, what is wrong" he ask, I could sense the worry in his voice and in the aura around him. I tried to answer him but my voice failed on me. I close my eyes seeing a figure, tall and lanky, but still well built and well trained. I could not see this creatures face, but I knew who it was. Somehow I knew who he was.
"Ayla..." He calls, why is he calling? I feel my legs give up under me, and I fall to the ground. Somewhere in the distant I hear Deta's voice yell for help. But I cannot open my eyes, my eyelids feel so heavy, and the creature so inviting.
"Ayla.. Come to me, come to da Echo Isles.." I nodded, and the figure turned around and left. I opened my eyes to see that I was laying in the bedroom, Deta looks at me with worry in her eyes, but I did not have time for that. I commanded her to leave me and Caleb alone. When she had left I turned to Caleb putting hand on his head.
"Are you okay Ayla? What happened?" I shake my head, this was not important.
"We have to go to the Echo Isles, early tomorrow! No one can see us go Caleb" He looks at me questioningly. But agrees to this silently and I lay back in the bed, tomorrow early morning I will go see him, I will go see Vol'jin as he requests.
