Evening of Day Four and I Find That I am Slightly Useful
What better way to spend the day than delivering messages to the other ships in the Admiral's fleet? Nothing, that's what! Seriously, I've been having the time of my life, being able to fly without a care in the world! It's great!
So run down as to why I was playing messenger girl again:
During the War of the Ancients, when the Burning Legion first invaded Azeroth, it was Elven mages that slapped a big ol' sign that said "MAGIC COME GET YOUR MAGIC HERE!" in big neon colors. It's because of this that Night Elves, as a whole, are distrustful of mages, downright hostile even!
But normally, when the Alliance calls the "collective fleet" together there are mages on every other- I'm not explaining this well.
Okay, the Collective Fleet is say… 50 ships. There is the King's Flag ship, consisting of about twenty other ships in formation, with one mage. There are other groups of fives and tens each also with one mage. The whole fleet, close enough in their little groups, are, perhaps, too far away from each other to use traditional signals; instead they use the magi to communicate/strategize/etc, keeping the whole of the fleet informed and as one mind towards whatever destination/goal was set forth.
Because it was the Night Elves and only the NE that came to our aid that they do not have any of these magi to help the fleet with solid communication.
That's where I come in! Since I am able to take the form of the Stormcrow, I'm able to ferry messages back and forth between the Admiral's fleet, which only consists of about seven boats Nightwind told me.
… That and Nightwind told me that they didn't have enough time to send a request to Dalaran for a mage rental.
