AN: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING WORLD OF WARCRAFT! ANY REAL IN GAME CHARACTERS AND WoW BELONGS TO BLIZZARD! NO COPY RIGHT INTENDED! IT'S A GREAT GAME! :)
A loud gurgle made its self known. Echo blushed. She should probably go to eat something, but breakfast wasn't going to be served for another two hours, so she could wait till then.
Walking slowly up the roofs of the Runeweaver Square, Echo looked around and finished reading the instructions she was given by her master.
Once settled in the inn, complete mission by meeting up with Zelda Holmes in the Underbelly of Dalaran.
Echo frowned as she jumped down from the roof and landed silently on the roads.
Underbelly? Do they mean the lower parts of Dalaran? They aren't talking about what I think th- yup... the sewers.
Echo internally cringed and swiveled around the walking civilians till she saw the gate with a ramp going down below.
Walking down the stone ramp into the sewer, Echo was pleasantly surprised. It was actually well lit and didn't have a smell. There were bars to block off people from entering the actual sewer pipes and Echo could feel a tingle run through the place.
Magic of course. Even in the sewers...
This place was the epitome of magic, the amount almost made Echo feel a little sick.
Turning one of the corridors of the Sewers, she found a large opening. It looked like a dueling area, with a large open battle ring. Some Goblins and patrons stood by their stands outside the circle.
How am I going to find her?
Echo walked around for what felt like hours, silver orbs scanning for the Rogue she was to meet up with. Sighing in defeat, Echo looked to her companion who meowed at her.
"What's wrong with ya, toots?" Echo stopped and looked down at a smirking Goblin. Judging by what he was garbed in, he was a Mage.
'I'm looking for Zelda Holmes.' The Mage looked at her for a second and cackled. He pointed over to his right.
"Then ya are in the wrong place, babe. That pretty piece of work is by the Cantrips and the Crows Tavern." Echo felt startled at first; he understood sigh language. She praised him on the inside.
'Thank you!'
"No problem, kid! Just be careful, this place ain't for someone like ya, sweet cheeks." The Goblin continued on his journey with a swish of his royal purple robes.
I am not a kid!
Running up the stairs and down the long stone walkway, Echo turned a sharp left and entered the finishing like area. Echo walked along the sturdy wooden boards up to the opening of the Cantrips and the Crows Tavern. She was immediately stopped and pulled out of the doorway.
Salem hissed violently at the attacker.
Fight or flight instincts came to mind and Echo twisted the hand holding her and threw the person over her shoulder and onto the ground right on the edge of the boardwalk, the attacker then tried to claw at the ground as they were close to the edge but ended up falling into the water below.
"Hey, ya brat! Why'd ya do that!?"
An angered female voice yelled at Echo. Peering over the boardwalk, she saw a drenched, not to mention furious, black garbed woman who looked about 30 or so.
Ringing her midnight colored hair, the deep black eyes of the rogue glared at Echo.
"I'm Zelda Holmes. I should be angry that ya did that, but I'm actually quite surprised that ya were able to counter my move. Good job kid." Echo felt her brow twitch in irritation.
By the Light help me... I am NOT a kid.
"I'm going to take a guess and say ya are the student Mathias Shaw sent over. What was your name again, Ellen? Elise?" Echo glared.
'Echo.'
"Ah." Zelda replied with lack luster. "He said ya were young, but I didn't expect a damn kid. Eh, welcome to Dalaran, Echo. I will inform Shaw ya made it here in one piece. Good luck and don't fuck up." And just like that Echo watched in disbelief as the Rogue in front of her vanished.
WHAT!? Wait that was it!? What do I have to do now!? Echo's mind could not comprehend what just happened.
Echo practically seethed in her mind. She tangled her hands in her hair and tugged in frustration.
Guess I really am on my own... Master Shaw's methods of teaching are becoming annoying... guess the rest is up to me till he sends someone to test me later on... right?
Salem let out a gentle purr to comfort Echo. Said girl stroked the cold ears of her companion as she directed herself out of the Underbelly and out into sunshine and fresh air again.
Salem lazily batted at some of the loose wavy strands and Echo, ignoring the playing cat, looked around and sighed sadly. The sun was higher in the sky, past eight for sure.
NOOOO! I missed breakfast. I spent so long looking for the damn woman, only to receive a minute of conversation, and I got virtually nothing out of it.
The short Rogue shook her head and made her way into the Runeweaver Square. Something incredibly sweet wafted through the air, making Echo's stomach growl with vengeance.
Okay, food first... exploration later.
