Day 214
Tom was entertaining for about an hour yesterday as we traveled the rest of the time he slept like a sack of potatoes. We arrived way after dark and by the UI clock it was nearly midnight. The driver and John gently carried him inside the cathedral dormitory. Later John escorted me to the orphanage custodial apartment. It had a few bed that fit more my size. I guess it was a good thing to partially pass me off as a child, so I decided to go the rest of the way. I put on my simple dress and hid my helm and cloak, though I had to remove my shoulders. I redid my tails as I always did in the morning and went in search of breakfast.
"Excuse me young lady where do you think you are going?" a matron scolded. "Classes are that way."
"You seem to have me confused. I am with the priest, Tomas and the rest of his group. I also wonder where breakfast is served?" I replied.
"You have some nerve lying to me young lady. Breakfast was over an hour ago. Now get to class!" she yelled. I laughed at her which just made her angrier.
"Listen here human child that you are. If I saw you born I would still be older than you then as you are now, but nice to know my disguise works." I calmly replied. "Now tell me where I can get breakfast and if Father Tomas is awake and where I can find him. I am an Ambassador of the Alliance, or can't you read." Her mouth dropped open as I pointed above my head then she pointed across the court yard to the other side. I giggled the entire way across. Totally worth it. I walked in the door and saw John standing out side of a door. "John where is Father Tomas?"
"He is talking to the bishop, but I don't think it is going so well." John replied. "I don't think the bishop believes that gnomes are real. I don't think he ever met one."
"Good time like any." I replied as I pushed the door in.
"Tom I know you have been many places in your time, but please there is no gnomes in the kingdom." the bishop stated. "She is a very smart child no more."
"I know a gnome when I see one." Tom countered. "And I don't care how good the barrier is she got through."
"The barrier is charged to kill anyone who doesn't have Kul Tiras blood." the bishop stated. "She would not have survived."
"Maybe I do have the proper blood?" I questioned. The bishop jumped at first, after I jumped up on the chair. "I doubt you can deny that I am a gnome now?"
"Young lady your act is fairly convincing, but it is time for you to stop this charade." the bishop ordered. "We can find your parents and..."
"Your holiness, I am a gnome and my parent perished in Gnomeregan when it got obliterated or they are leper gnomes now. I did come here and I did get through your shield just copacetic." I interrupted. "Or do I need to..."
"No need to prove anything, ambassador. I can see that you are no child." he stated. I paused for a second and giggled as I turned off my name plate. "I think your time would be better spent talking to the magi."
"I went there this morning and they didn't believe me either." Tom added. "I thought it was better I get the bishop to make them believe. I am not sure what spell they used but they said there are no gnomes in Boralus."
"I guess I am not a gnome then, but let's go prove them wrong. No wonder Jaina Proudmoore stayed in Kalimdor." I stated.
"You know Jaina? How is she?" the bishop asked.
"She looks good a bit sad, but I don't really know her. I did a few things for her, but that is all." I replied. "Can we go see the magi? I have a few questions about this shield." After a few more mundane questions the three of us traveled to the magi tower.
"Ah Father Tomas and Bishop Withers nice to see you. Have you come again to spin your report?" the mage asked.
"And which report was that? The one where someone not of Kul Tiras blood passed the shield or the fact a gnome is in Boralus?" I asked. Gone also was the simple dress and I was in full rogue gear. I glared at him and he looked away.
"There is the shape changer lock her down." another mage ordered. "I felt about ten different spells at once. Sheep, shackle, freeze, bind and many I didn't know about. My health dropped a bit, but I waited. "Good we have her."
"What is the meaning of this?" Father Tomas demanded. "The light shows her goodness."
"The light can be fooled. Think of Arthas Menethil, he was a paladin of the light. Now he is nothing but darkness." the arch mage stated. "We knew our shield wasn't perfect, but it has protected us for a long time. Finish the binding spell. I want her our slave." I felt I was losing my mind slowly I was shutting down. I popped cloak of shadows and my pvp trinket before vanishing. I sprinted into another room before all hell broke loose as every mage AOE'ed the room. "She escaped find her!" I never really used sap that much unless I was pick pocketing or I needed to control a mob, but it came in really handy in that tower. I felt I wasn't going to get any answers on this island and maybe even killed again. I went from room to room freely as ever mage was looking around for me in other places. If they really wanted to find me they would only have had to follow the sapped magi. I entered a bigger room with what must be a map of the island and the shield. I studied it and now I could maybe disrupt the shield or shut it down, but I still didn't know how it was linked with time. How the Bronze Dragonflight allowed this could have something to do with the death spell. Either that or they are using the time gained to do other things with it?
"You magi are all crazy. She is a member of the alliance. She has spoken with the Alliance leaders on a weekly basis." Father Tomas stated. "She is an Ambassador of the Alliance and you treated her like an enemy."
"The Admiralty will hear of this." Bishop Withers added. "You have lost the church's respect." he turned and stormed out.
"She is a threat to us all." the Arch Magus stated. Father Tomas shook his head and followed the bishop out.
I now knew where the shield was located and all I had to do was to get to it, but I also wondered why I needed to? Could it be that Anachronos affected me to come here? I had proved to myself that the lands that were not present in vanilla wow were here in this world. I was even sure that Pandara was where it was. I did have a hope that Warlords of Draenor never comes about. I felt that this would cause a time loop issue. I was for the world moving at a normal time pace, unlike what it was now with the same thing happening every year. The players have started to change as I have had an effect on the world of Azeroth. I wondered if they would also have the effect I have had. The question was should I do anything about this shield. Dalaran had a shield for a long time though it wasn't there. Maybe Jaina could shed some light on where Dalaran was hiding. I could trust the priests but with not getting any support from the magi it would be dangerous to try to speak with Admiral Proudmoore.
"That gnome is a danger to Kul Tiras, Arch Magus." a mage stated as they walked into the room. "We should have killed her instead of trying to capture her."
"That would have been futile. She has the ability to revive herself." the Arch Magus replied. "Until she is removed from this island and the shield adjusted to lock them out we need to increase the guard at the shield site."
"I will inform the others she will not interfere." the mage stated.
"You better hope so or the coming cataclysm will kill us all." the Arch Magus warned. "If only we could capture her and explain this she would understand we do this for Azeroth." The other mage left the leader alone in the room. I studied him while he stared at the map of Kul Tiras. Could they really know about the cataclysm? About Deathwing? If so would they know that we would win? I still felt what ever they did was having a large effect on the rest of the world if time was flowing normally here and nearly stopped everywhere else. They had no right to interfere with the flow of time. That was the Bronze Dragonflight's job. I saw him fondle his medallion and I saw that it was very similar to the symbol of the shield's location. I sapped him and took the medallion. Even if it had no connection I was sure that it might be a key to shutting it of or changing the device. With that in hand I left the tower heading out of town.
