Day 216

Gram's plan was simple enough and I wish I had the same confidence that he did, or that he was providing the distraction. He proved that he knew how the key worked as he did something to the key and got it to open up and close again. I couldn't really help him too must as I had retained my enchanting and he was an engineer. What I was able to help him with was some rings, trinkets, necklace, and cloak. This gave him a boost to his health and agility. I wish I could have gave him armor, but I am a gnome and nothing I had would fit him. He did have his own armor and I didn't have any problem enchanting the pieces for him. His hammers were the most interesting pieces he did have. Dual Jaw Breakers Not the greatest of stats but with Mongoose they would work nicely.

"Okay you show yourself here and that is after you sap your way there. They will be looking all over for you but I doubt even the Arch Magus could detect you at your level." Gram explained again for the hundredth time. "You sure you don't need the dynamite?"

"I am sure I think they will be running over each other to kill me." I replied.

"Okay enough talk let's get to it." Gram ordered. I forced down a giggle at his line. He gave me a confused look as I entered stealth. I wasn't sure we could join as a party, but it did work as he used to be controlled at one point by a player. I entered the area and sapped every mage I came near and pick pocketed each one. I didn't get much, but that wasn't the point. I left a trail of wobbling mages who when I sapped another looked around in confusion. It didn't take long before they started arguing with each other and I wondered if the Arch Magus would even be there. I got to the slight rise on the other side and checked my handy work. Magi were searching blindly around and even casting AOE spells where they could. I changed into a blood elf as I let my stealth drop.

"I shall take this device from you!" I yelled. "For the Horde!" This got their attention, and if it didn't summoning my giant mammoth did. I was out of range so they began to form a line if they didn't run in fear as ten of them did.

"Line up destroy the blood elf!" one mage screamed.

"Protect the shield!" another yelled. I kept on backing up which put me out of their spell range while yelling at them.

"Is that all you can do?!" I yelled. "Cast your magic I will drink it all in!" I was able to move them away from the device slowly first ten yards then twenty and finally fifty yards.

"Everyone blink and cast!" One yelled and they did. I saw forty fire, frost or arcane spells coming my way. Hurry up Gram I thought. I activated my cloak of shadows but I still lost half my health before I stealthed and sprinted away. A few chased after me, but I was already to the side. I looked at Gram as the device stopped moving and slowly lost its glow. The magi saw him and they screamed. It was too late to stop him and they fired spells at him even though they were too far away. Gram gave them all a one finger salute before going into stealth. I circle around the camp as the magi attempted in vain to turn the shield back on. I stopped as guild chat came up with officer chat and rogue chat. The explosions rocked the area as dirt was thrown in the air along with the magi that were standing on top of the bombs. Through the smoke I saw the device topple over and another explosion blew me off my feet a hundred yards away. I shook myself as I got to my feet and I sprinted to the hideout.

"Gram what was with all those explosions?" I nearly yelled. "I nearly got blown away myself."

"I didn't expect that at all." Gram replied looking a bit guilty. "I planted those explosives years ago and set them off, but they never worked. I tried again the next time I had more, but they didn't work either. I guess I got a bit carried away with it."

"A bit carried away?" I asked. "Did you see the crater that is there now?"

"Yes I saw it, but the last one wasn't me." he countered. "That was the device itself, but I wonder did it work?" This made me think while I was distracted by all the chat lines scrolling in my UI. I wrote can you read this? And I got about ten answers and about two hundred Kit! 's. Then a whole slew of questions.

"I think so I can now chat with my guild." I replied. "I got to be outside to summon my dragon mount."

"Well we better hurry or do you plan on hiding in here forever?" Gram questioned. "Oh do you think I could join you?"

"I think I can help you there." I replied. "I have a certain mount that will work."

"A ride back to the world is nice, but I meant your guild. I am not a commoner or a NPC, but I could be an adventurer couldn't I?" I thought about it for just a second and sent him an invite. He nearly fell over as he saw his UI for the first time. I dropped my jaw as I got the message that Gram joined the guild. The others greeted him and the endless questions came. With only 4k players everyone knew everyone so a new player was like dynamite. Gram was barely able to follow me out. I used the one mount I never wanted to use for I still had a fear of it. Vial of the Sands. This finally brought Gram back to the present and it took me fifteen minutes to convince him to get on.

"You, you! You destroyed everything!" the Arch Magus screamed. "I knew you were not a gnome."

"Mage you have meddle with the Keepers of Time long enough." I growled at him. "I think my friends are here to take you away." Two bronze dragons appeared next to him and landed. The Arch Magus of Kul Tiras had what I though was a nervous breakdown as I took off. Oh to be a dragon. The thrill was instantly addictive and very powerful. My breath weapon was burning hot sand. A spray of glass that would easily peel the skin off of anyone. I flew higher and felt free of any and all cares. This was the most wonderful experience I had ever had and I doubted anything would top it. I flew east and was just starting to tire as we landed near Menethil Harbor. The whole time Gram had been silent, but he was chatting away.

"That was the most amazing ride I have ever had, but why is this Jake fellow so mad at me?" Gram asked.

"Well telling my lover that you have been riding me for hours and then not understanding his replies would make anyone mad." I replied. "Would you like it if he told you he was alone with your lass and riding her?" He looked confused for a minute then shock crossed his face and then nervous laughter bellowed out of him.

"Oh my I think he will kill me." Gram quietly stated. I laughed as I summoned my mammoth that he could ride as well. I was tired or I would have flown all the way to Ironforge. "Wait stop by the flight master. I might have the flight point and even if I don't I used to be a Wildhammer." I moved over to the flight master and sure enough he talked quietly with the other and got the flight points. "Let's go, Kit. You can sleep when you get there."

"No fair." I complained. It would be late and I still had to make my way to Stormwind. Then I thought about it as I had someone check on the war effort. Nearly complete from what they said.

"Okay everyone tomorrow we are all heading over to Silithus so all mages need to port over to Theramore Isle and head down to ZF's summoning stone." I wrote into chat. About ten questions came back asking why? "I am going to open, Ahn'Qiraj. Inform every guild they need to do the same once the gong is rung we will have only five days." This blew up chat as everyone wanted to talk at once, and it kept me awake until we landed in Ironforge. Jake met us there and I jumped into his arms. Every time he opened his mouth I kissed him, or I nibbled on his ear.
