The Draenei History
A Place called Ammen Vale became a new start for my historical people.My ancestors Struggling to survive after the spaceship crash-lands on this unknown world, They find themselves facing the same threat that drove them from our previous home in the first place. Driven from home world of Argus, fled for eons before finding a remote planet to settle on. At first They shared a place with the shamanistic orcs and named it Draenor. In time the Legion corrupted the orcs, who waged war and nearly exterminated the peaceful Draenei. A lucky few fled, where they now sought allies in their battles.
As a Draenei, originally from Outland, but recently forced to flee in the ship The Exodar. They learned the Blood Elfs had sabotage the Ship, causing it to crash. The survivor had crash-landing The Exodar on place called Azurmyst. The Strong that made it, help to rescue other survivors, but also help to repair the damage to the creatures of this place and the land, which seems to have become corrupted by the crystals from the ship. They would seek and discover and eliminate many groups of Blood Elfs that followed to seek our extinguishment. But with the survivors from the crash. They stuck together in this foreign world. Though Some have returned to Outland, but others, stayed to make good on a promise of "a New Beginning!
And even though they had this new meaning making it through such a crush, the Prophet Velen believed that a war, which will be fought on Azeroth, is approaching. So, in our new state of being, we needed to make sure our people are ready, being so New here.
That said, with The Exodar recently crashed, immediately jumped back in time already to the beginning so it seemed.
It all happened rather shortly to, after the Blood Elfs seized control of the Naaru spaceship, Tempest Keep, on Outland. The Exodar was a wing of that spaceship that Prophet Velen and other Draenei used to escape Outland. All to the Thanks of the Blood Elf and their sabotage, Making the Exodar though, damaged and it crashed, the new shelter for the New Beginning!
The Many leaders now try to restore some kind of order here so they might can fix our ship.
Megelon tells the my people The Exodar has crashed and many have died. Proenitus doesn't know why The Exodar crashed, but not all of the spaceship is here. It seems like a small part of it broke off. But for now save as many Draenei as possible,
Vindicator Aldar has them to use a Inoculating Crystal provided by Botanist Taerix to inoculate those of the Nestlewood Owlkin who seemed to been tainted and pose a threat to gathering the part that had broke away and off the ship needed to help fix it.
We they return with the parts to Technician Zhanaa, who believes she can use them to fix the emitter – She was concerned about Tolaan, a scout that's gone missing who was heading Shadow Ridge.
They did find Tolaan, who's in a bad way. He had been ambushed by Blood Elfs. In a heated battle the Blood Elf Scouts, and their leader, Surveyor Candress, and the Blood Elf Spy, who, it turns out, was carrying invasion plans to elimate immediately.
They were taken and shown to Vindicator Aldar and he reads the Blood Elf plans. He loses his cool completely, calling them "evil to the core" and says they should be "wiped from existence", then calms himself and apologizes. He asks you to speak to Technician Zhanaa, about the emitter. The emitter was fixed, and it shows an image of Technician Dyvuun, who is excited to see other survivors and tells you about Azure Watch.
Technician Zhanaa immediately wants you to go to Azure Watch to speak to Technician Dyvuun in person to speak about how many Draenei from Ammen Vale they need to expect.
Technician Dyvuun is glad to see you, promises to send aid to Ammen Vale, and suggests you go around Azure Watch introducing yourself to the others while he uses his own emitter to speak to an image of Technician Zhanaa.
From Azure Watch then Onward to Bloodmyst Isle then Alternatively where it was establish to be able to take a boat to leave the islands, sailing to Rut'theran Village and from there to Darkshore or Stormwind City. Now We protect Our Lands, Our Exodar and all within our new alliance realm, Kalimdor! Having Placed Kings and Queens across its Baronys to Match all evil that wish to strike at us. And when called to fight evil elsewhere then To we will travel to uncertain journeys…
My Great Grand Parents was with the many that fled from our home lands long ago from the demonic corruption. Landing and now lending what came next of our family's generations. We now defend Azurmyst, BloodMyst as a Home. Battling For our new Allies "Kalimdor" and its good. We stand with the Queen Tyrande Whisperwind as she became a ally Against the evil attacks of the Old Queen Azshara and her demonic Nagas. As well as the Horde who both sit to the side of the Great Seas.

The Hurt
Placed by the hands of another.
Permeant Deep Scars to her right ankle, wrists, neck and shoulders. From the Devil himself...
Because when you've been torn and worship the pain, just to feel your alive, there's nothing left to do but raise a little hell!!!
Nothing comes free in this world nor beyond!
So when Ye may beg for merci and offer ye soul. Know nothing was surrendered for it was already owned..

The History
This Once beautiful Land still to the day is under skirmishes with both these foes. Though my people have taken on to establish as land as our own with many the many Night Elves who remain good in Loyal promise to Queen Tyrande, who has granted lands and herniary to our people over time. In such pride we have done Much over the years. The children of children, of those children, continue this battle and Now even more Answer the calls to Azeroth to fight evil wherever it may be! Owning Lands and establishing Baronies there to defend and protect.
I am not the same as when I started my journey. I fallowed my line of duty of my female ancestors and when time came for me to fight and stand I did just as my parents and my grandparents, and my Great grandparents had. I had taken on the area that was granted to me to protect and established my own family. And I did it well. I was tallish. 7'1 With only 125 lbs. to my stature I am muscles for my build. Hair of glow Midnight, now Silver. My once Crystal eyes took Holy Light and became Golden Amber, which has even change to grayish Amber due to such hours upon a war front. My Once red darken lips now simple blush. Even my skin has a slight powder of ash to its once shine. I guess some wars are worse than others and lead harder changes even the best of us. Saddlery the latest to our home in Kalimdor came harsh due to The Burning of Teldrassil, otherwise known as the War of the Thorns. The Battle for Teldrassil bleed over to our lands we shared with the Night Elfs and rightly so since we are many Allies as brothers and sisters the Night Elfs. Who greatly attain Kalimdor. "Conflict emerges in Darkshore as the Horde and Alliance battle for control over Teldrassil!

Hordes Warcheif "Sylvanas", goal was to gain control of Darnassus *The Night Elfs main City* to regulate the flow of Azerite because she fears Anduin will use it to destroy the
Horde By killing Malfurion Stormrage, Sylvanas believes that it will scare the people of Darnassus into submission and to keep them from fighting back! So she sought to destroy everything of them and all their lands and all that Supported them.
Certain that the Alliance will use Darnassus as a safe harbor for funneling Azerite into the Eastern Kingdoms. And that King Anduin Wrynn will build powerful new weapons, and sooner or later he will turn them upon our homelands. First he will strike at the Undercity and Silvermoon, then his gaze will fall upon Orgmar. For the sake of the Horde's future, we must be the first to act. She felt By occupying Darnassus, it would control the flow of Azerite and ensure it cannot be used against them. The Alliance will dare not attack its own city for fear of harming civilians.
"The kaldorei will defy unless she breaks their sprits. And must inflict a blow that will show them what is at stake.

Sylvanas gave orders to invade Darnassus. I am told, one of the major, Delaryn Summermoon, argued with her, imploring her to spare the innocent civilians and remember what she once fought for. With those words, Sylvanas flew into a fit of rage, screaming at Her right hand man, Nathanos to set Teldrassil alight. Teldrassil was Set Ablaze and with it One of the Most greatest war was started...
The War of the Thorns has also left a permanent mark on Kalimdor, which the Night Elfs Darnassian and Draenei, Gilneans and others might never recover from. Since this War the towns and Darkshore covered in ash and despair, you can see the once full of life tree Teldrassil engulfed in flames.

Stormwind Harbor became occupied with Darnassian and Draenei and Gilnean survivors who became homeless as a result of Horde's assault on Darnassus, Kalimdor and Teldrassil.
The War of the Thorns has left a permanent mark on Darkshore and much of the area. MY homes destroyed of the War. My family Killed. AND much of the land now suffered still attacks from Horde. From the town of Darkshore covered in ash and despair, you can see the once full of life tree Teldrassil engulfed in flames. And I had lost so much here. SO VERY MUCH.


The Vinacar Portal
As I stood in the Vinacar Portal I look out and up the stairs at King Anduin Wrynn- High Exarch Turalyon and Captain Fareeya. They talk amongst themselves working on the next movements. I was heading to the next ordered business. A personal One this time! I reach over and touch the newly gained marks to my flesh. They somewhat covered the old... My deep dark thick lashes blink over new visions of gold. My body glowed with new granted power and yet... deep inside I was still at war with something old. My hand move to the thick leather collar folder over n tucked in my belt. You see...

Haven't always been who ye see. Many Winters I've seen come and gone.

And quickly in these lands. In this world. One learns nothing comes free in this world nor beyond! So when Ye may beg for merci and offer ye soul. Know nothing was surrendered for it was already owned..

Yes I had some unfinished business. But let me start at the beginning my friend.

The beginning
What's in a Name? Well for mine, a deep family history long before the time of our Draenei brothers and sisters, sought the ole ways. Ways of Mythology Forefathers. Though our time was with our Draenei life, My great grand parents sowed their life's and ours as the ole way. So I, and my brothers were called by their names. Mine, Skadi. The Jotunn and Goddess of bow, hunting, skiing, winter and mountains, and shadow. Daughter of Thjazi, wife of Njord, step mother of Freyr and Freyja was sometimes called Little One by the father. I am Connection to the frozen wilderness.

At times far from home, as most were now days with the Many wars one right after another on us, I would close my eyes for a brief moment and seek peace inside. Seeing the home, I grew up in. Something long since gone.

Far from home for what seemed longer than time since my family taken by one arm or another of this war. I would push aside the need to remember home. Though my lands could never leave me. For my home and lands Passed down from parent to the next for some time had been granted from the Queen Tyrande, herself and with those lands, we held the title Duke and Duchess over Northern Kalimdor. My responsible was to my family, to our promises and to the Queen. My most loved homes, though we had many throughout the lands, were in Darkshore, Ashenvale, Wintersprings and My Childs laugh at the smell of fresh plowed fields, or the clean sea air or hearing the winds rustle through crops and fresh born mounts bellowing in the stable. Our winters. In Wintersprings for winter sports. Newly glazed sparkled ground powered white with an early morning snow as the trees twinkled with long crystals. AND cherished when I got to travel to the Eastern Kingdom to Arathi Highlands when Daddy had to go do business for trade. That was a most favor home of mine. I craved these days gone by. And with time we grew up and now most these days sought battle to kill the pain of losses. And at times we even found ourselves not as birth siblings but war brothers.

The Blood War
I turned to see him. This giant of a Man, He seemed to tower over all others. He wore minimal armored and with no face guard to his Helm. He moved as if he was war not at war. And His Axe and my Husbands clank out in a death dance. Now no others were on these bloody grounds. Only them! Suddenly I see another coming behind him! I thought oh Gods! Help Him! Quickly Pulling up my Bow as I draw... My heart dropped as my own vial leches up from the pit of my stomach into my throat as the scene suddenly ended with a Un honored, splitting my husband's backside from another, as he faced the fight before him. I screamed out as my arrow sings by the Giant's head hitting the being in the face! He dropped hard with a clank. My bow raised quickly again to release now upon the Giant. One single moment he looked at me daring me. He towered me as I would look at him. Macular, Determined face. His look upon me changed from hate of his foe to different. He dropped his weapon just a bit and stared at me. His lips mouthed words unheard to battle around us. He said, Beautiful! And for that one second, I held to late as I looked at his face. In that one deflecting second of a mistake my Arrow flew by him mere misses him, slightly leaving a thin cut to his cheek, but a miss nevertheless! He blinked and laughed and point out at me with his axe! Looking at me he yelled, we'll meet again Milady, and he was gone.

Now I stood as my Husband and Daughter and Parent's long ship was push out to the Sea, lite on fire with so many others. The sounds of crying and waling and bellowing hurt of grief heeded this early frost morn as a thick veil of fog seem to know it was here to claim the offerings being pushed out to her. I did not even flinch as the flaming arrows flew threw the air to the marked landings setting the waters on fire! I swallow hard once as I grip the Medellin that now hung around my neck that mark me now as Duchess. We had loss Darkshore.

The Second Battle
Topping a Hill, we knelt down as the battle raged around us. We waited for the sound to stand and fire our Arrows and let lose! My hands trembled at the string ready to pull. Hot Tried sweaty. The battle had started to wear on. The Horn finally! Standing quickly to form and begin the Air assault, I quickly blink in startle meant as I am met, face to face with the one who wears minimal armored with no face guard to his Helm!

Ripping his helm off! He stared at me. His lips mouthed then yelled the word! MINE!
I looked at his face! It was him!
His chase across the lands to seek me had only added to his burn. And Mine seeking him, a Kindled flame that could not be put till his death. The hunt of desired preys. Now face to face. Though our reasons for the hunt of the other, were very clearly very different! Mine his Death by my hands... His, to capture what he sought to own and see to make me his own...
Quickly I looked across the battle as his forces took over the scene. Confusion and battle rage hinder most to unremembered senses. And soon many had to seek to escaped or be killed or were being dragged and caged for slaves. I looked back at him to close to pull my string, so I hit out with my bow edge which had a bladed edge, instead at him! The joust between us seem to last for hours and yet could not have been such length. His axe only seeking to chip away at my Bow as I continued to lash out at him. Yes, some blows landed, and he bled red as the blade on my bow edge sliced. Now I knew he too could die! But his axe was also slicing away at my bow. But I too took strikes from him and I to bled from the hits. We both now carried cuts to body, face, busted lips and slit cheeks. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain to the back of my head... then nothing.

I was being picked up as His men that held my arms in front of him stank with death and blood. He looked upon me and smiled and spoke. Finally, My Queen. I spat at him. His Men quickly jerked at me and forced me to kneel before him.
I looked up at him with hate. He only smiled as he wipes away my spit from his face. He rips from his Clothes a strip, reaches over and wipes the blood from my face that ran from my head.

He speaks. Now milady is that anyway to treat you Sire. He held up his hands wavering them out over the site and goes. Look at this place. It is beautiful and is ready for us to bond. I spat out the words: Is that a way to say hello again with splitting my skull!

He Laughed and kneeled in front of me and whispered, "I am sorry for that. He reaches over again to wipe at my face and head again, I winch away from pain and his touch! He says, Ye will love me back soon enough. Ye will kneel to me willing and wantingly. I glared at him! Never!

The Forbidden
He smiled as he placed the Collar around my neck.
His Collar etching into my flesh, His chains cut into my ankle, Chained to a wall. Its heaviness marred my flesh. The metal cut deep. Daily he would come and ask. Kneel. Id spit unfoolable words at him and he'd laugh and turn and leave.
That Collar, he got use to pulling on, and I ached from it. I begin to feel being chained to that wall seemed eternal. Weeks even. He was relentless in his visits to try to convince.
The Collars heaviness marred my flesh. My ankle bind cut deep. I was tired of this game. And I could tell he grew such as well.

Then finally, one night. I look up from my darken cell to his yelling at his guards in a dunking state. He spit his words at them to get! The bars few open. My chains rattled as I stood up quickly! I yelled out, demanding to stop! I yell out NO!
He whispers, I must...

As I feel his teeth bare into my neck flesh as he seeks to take what he had chased for so long.
Bloody flesh rips bleeding down my shoulder upon his words.
"No one but me!"

His rape hungrily endless! His words echoing forever in my head. I would be his forever, he'd breath heavy upon my marred flesh.
"Love me he'd asked" as I felt his teeth bare into my flesh! Bloody sweat sliding down my shoulder upon his words.

Many nights of his return, He Say, kneel! I'd say, never. And he takes me again.
His patients were growing even more thinner. I knew I was on barrowed timed. His pleading gestors had move to more demanding to a quick slapping or rough push against the wall, or binding, fallowed with a regretful apology for striking me, but not before leaving He'd stop and speak.
"No one but me!" Til Death Only ME!"

The Veil
Then one wee hour I watched the moon peeked through the tiny cell window. Then I hear my name whispered, as I stood to see shadows of beings of bodies of glowing gold open the cell door and hush me as the shackle link pried loose from the wall. Moving from my jailed room I'd look down at the dead guards through the halls I was being, lead to freedom. A single chain link ring rattled as we moved quickly. I grabbed it to hush its sound. And made my last step from his ground I turned and thought... I was sure I see him again.

The Light
Once, A daughter, Sister, A farmer. A friend. Wife, Mother.
Once That was taken from me, I knew only the end. Til Upon my ever-last breath. Because when you've been torn Ye embrace the pain, just to feel your alive, there's nothing left to do but raise a little hell!!!

Unfinished Business
Exiting the Portal, I stop pull from my waist pouch a smaller pouch. Opening it I pull out a rolling paper, bit of green left, roll it tight and light it up, quietly putting back the smaller pouch. "Puff, Sigh, clears throat, puff puff, blowing out slowly then I call forth my mount and soon Id stood on top of that Mountain and as I clutch that collar, I stood before the alter there and pull the Collar from my belt. Clutching it tightly! I remembered it all. Walking out to the edge I looked out over the great waters. Clam, Beautiful, Peaceful almost. I whisper, soon. I knew I was sure I'd see him again someday soon.
Placing the roll between my lips, I say out loud. "In his words. "TIL Death only him! Was I ready? Am I ready? Was the time now... Yes... Now is my turn to do the skull splitting!!!

As a Soul Soldier. You Either die a Hero or live long enough to see yourself become the Villan!
Now See I fight for myself! NOW Lightforge! I Sskadi Many things, Know to all, Shall seek
Sire Baal Phaoton of The Rose Sephiroth of Sammael...
And that One day I will kill him....

After the Hunt
So, I returned to my Barony. With my family all gone to the afterlife I found myself in their place. It was almost unreal standing in the binding circle as I sit upon a thrown wearing the Medallion and Circlet. My inner voice screamed. I have business elsewhere.

For Now
I accepted a Kingdom to defend. Whether I liked it or not now I am here. To the unknown my future. And time can go so slow when ye are waiting to know. So I've found a hidden place or two. I retreat to ever so often and I seek info on his runabout. I have a few trusted who does my bidding in this search for me. A good pouch of Gold will buy me services. So, I have not forgotten. BUT have had to live up to a family name. I did lead and defend our lands. And play Duchess. And even Help with my troops defend Azeroth when asked to come and will continue. BUT I have not forgotten.

The unthinkable.
A third War reached the kingdom again. Just when we thought we could relax on our shores. It was a Hard War. Hard battles. Why was it here in a quiet land again. Now no longer. It seemed endless. Our death toll begins to add. The battle lead by The Hordes War Chief Syvanna! We fought hard. In the end, my part of lands burned. Homes smoked. Death was the new. My people cried. I had let my Lands down. Was I a failure? I needed away. I had to get away. When the people looked at me, I saw their questions. Their disappointment. Their hurt. I Left my ambassador to head my counsel. And my Knights to see to the protection. I gave orders to start rebuilding. Work with the Capitol Exodar! Buried your dead. Make peace with grievances and begin to live again. I had to reestablish a trade route quickly since most now had been destroyed. I knew of one I might be able to secure. They watch as I mount and turn and leave.

The Ride
I tried to quiet my heart and soul of such hurt again. I question was I not a good leader. I fell into a state of feeling I did not deserve life, only knew that my time wasn't ready, and my call wasn't yet. But why. Why was I still alive. My answer always the same. And I still had business with him! BUT Now I had two to hate! I nudged my mount to hurry to my dentation, To a secure a trade route. Arathi Highlands!


The Promise
I vow Two vows before my time
Know this Banshee Queen. I am coming for your head.
As I'm coming after you Sire Baal Phaoton of The Rose Sephiroth of Sammael...

Now it Time for revenge
And Courage Is My Mastery over Fear!

(All that I see or seem is but a dream within a dream. Edgar Alan Poe)

HER LIVING STORY AND THE LIVES THAT CROSS HER PATH
Lady Sskadi — 03/09/2020
Sadden by my visit to Darkshore, at its loss, I travel onward. I Walk the city Astranarr, Ashenvale quietly. Even in my absents my words from far away were still respected so it seemed. I smiled as I was not certain they would of been.Now a ghost. No one knew why I had to leave. But I did. Now this return hidden under a cloak I viewed just how much was being worked on! Though many had left. I was proud of who stayed. For their loyalty was greater than I could had of imagine! I had order main building to be Reestablished. And rebuild. We would be a New Land. With New Purpose! We will still live our dream. Now Our flag bellowedFOR THE GLORY OF KALIMDOR! My Hood had been pulled very low from the weather and sightings. The land felt odd upon my return. I wasn't ready to be known i had removed most of my armor n had it in my pack. Knowing It would be recognized. So simple riding dress boots gloves n hip dagger and boot dagger I adorn for now. With heavy cloak which I slipped it back from my face. It gently fell to my shoulders. I really didn't need to see. I knew this place. I knew these grounds. I knew my Kingdom! Though it had been a long time. I slipped off my mount, She spread her wings and gave me a head bop as I patted her. easy girl. Lets see what's up here before I stable ya for a meal. I could see as I walked in it was quiet. There was one toward the back at a table but this was all. The Inn Keeper and barmaid's backs were to the door as they seemed to be doing spring cleaning to the shelves as I walk up to the bar, laying my hands on the bar. He peeked over his shoulder not really seeing other than there was a body at the counter. One moment sir' he speaks. Wiping his hands on his apron turning saying Now what can I get His voice stopped as he see's me. Suddenly stumbling over his words. DUCHESS SsKADI!(edited)

Lady Sskadi — 08/31/2020
How about cup of your good strong Black at my normal spot? He turn and un gentle tugged at the young maids pushing her toward the my place near the hearth at the back. Barking mark sure its proper!!! She hurried as I laughed a bit under my breath as I watched her! Thats not ness I am sure its as always perfect. He Nodded at me. Ill be making a fresh pot My Duchess Very good my man Ill just take myself to my table I have lots to consider this day. walking back I gave a quick look to the only other being in the room at another table near the hearth as well but bit from my corner table. With their hood down low, arms crossed as if resting but with a half empty bowl of food and coffee. Passing me the maid gave a quick shy curt to me as I nod back at her. Slipping off my cloak, laying in the chair across from my seat, I remove my gloves and lay them on the table waiting on my drink. I walk over to the health and holding my hands out to warm them and begin to remember everything from this land.The places, The people. One, then two, then many. Then they all seems to bounce in my head. I hear myself say out loud....(edited)

Lady Sskadi — 08/31/2020
Have you forgotten me my people,
Since Ive had to be so far away? I had to leave to ensure our lands kept shipments coming here. We are hidden for a reason. But in this Trade routes must stay intact. Something I had to go protect. Battle took me to those route to fight for us!
With others so near, yet so far,
Is one who was once close to your souls, now easily placed on a dusty shelf with other trivial bits of the past?
When did I last cross your minds?
When once I always at your side, your back,
Better than friend, beyond family.
Once I was the other side of your coin.
And you were my partners in crime.
Now I watch from a distance as others have yor smiles, your company and your secrets.
While I hope for the privilege of catching a glimpse of your world.
I know that life and time and change were the seas that swept me away.
So far that it could mean we can no longer touch. Yet Iam back to reclaim thee.
Know I have missed your smiles, and the way you always knew my heart.
I wish you were here and we were us again.
I wish I could be part of your sorrows and your joys.
I wish I wasn't just an echo of the past.
Have you forgotten me my people?...................

Never , never could I , nor ever would I ; Forget about you . Special , wonderful you.
In my heart & in my soul , you're all I've wanted , all that I know .
Just because time & distance is now far , Your presence in my life burns bright like a Star.
So never think that you are forgotten , you are always , will always be Special , Wonderful You .(edited)

Lady Sskadi — 01/23/2021
without step toward this being. I still just stood at the hearth. My look from them turned back to the flames and the crackling that seem to cry. Quite from some time I ponder upon his words. Conflicted to the truth. Or was it * I simple say* WHY?....................(edited)

TheSirStrazzen — 06/03/2021
His cloak & hood shrouded frame slid up near her, his voice now a mere breath away from her ear as he says So very, very softly next to her now Because you moved me, moved my heart & my soul . Ever since we met so long, long ago , you have moved me & made your mark on me. He paused , just a moment went by before he moved on & said to her Do you remember my Luv , remember Us ? Remember what we did ? What we 'Discovered' together, about Us ? He paused once more, having his strong & tanned arms reach out from the cloak to try & embrace her again like they/ he did so very long ago

Lady Sskadi — 06/03/2021
As my faced remained forth, my eyes cut to the side, toward the being that now moved closer to me. I did not like my space tampered with. Softly almost without movement my right hand moved to rest on my blade hilt. As I listen to his words of romance from a time pasted. One I did not know for sure of since I still was uncertain of this being so near to me. Suddenly his words fell death as I quickly turned and faced him moving from his sudden reach! WHO ARE THEE I demanded What is this story ye tell of... of US! My eyes narrowed as I felt this being had me mixed up with another and yet how so... I Was this lands DUCHESS!(edited)

Lady Sskadi — 06/03/2021
As I turned so quickly and moved back my Eyes show uncertainty of you now and who you are and your meaning toward me. The hand that rested only on my hilt now griped it. The Inn keeper speaks out loudly seeing this sudden rumble. "DUCHESS Sskadi Is everything alright!....................(edited)

TheSirStrazzen — 06/04/2021
The being now ever so slowly removed his apparently 'Unwanted' arms & turned his Palms face-up so as to indicate surrender or Peace. He, for by his voice & the apparent muscular build of his arms the Being was a 'He' brought his arms down to his side now still moving them ever so slowly. After many long moments he brought his hands up to his hood removing it slowly till his very young, youthful face & deep flame-reddish hair with a light smattering of soft freckles adorned his cheeks .

The man looked no more than 17 or 18 , in Human years. But he was not a Human , he was a "Sin'Dorei" also known as a 'Blood Elf' . He looked at her with soft but deep River blue eyes that spoke of youthful Wisdom well beyond his young age. He then simply tilted his head then muttered something in his archaic sounding language of Thallassian & then knelt & bowed saying in Common / " My Queen."

TheSirStrazzen — 06/04/2021
With his down, his eyes now looking at her boot & legs he dared a Swift glance up to her mid-section and more while not moving his head , only his now shining & lightly glowing golden Amber eyes . He now was sure of what his course of action would be. His dreams , his vision had been clear & now being ever So close to her he was positive of the way this was , should play out. He was hers & in time she would be his; She would submit as he was submitting to her now. They would join & form something wonderful & joyful - or he would die trying.

Lady Sskadi — 06/04/2021
With his movement, My bladed hand seem to move into sync with his kneel. My Hand griped the out held blade tightly that pointed downward at him. Almost as if I was pointing a school rod at him for a demanded quiz answer. My body sifted. My words almost barked at the Inn Keeper without movement from the knelt body. NEVER BETTER innkeeper! As I looked downward I thought... This Flaming haired Elf couldn't be more than a youthful boy! His eyes unsure of blue or amber were remarkable young... One of my eyebrow quickly raises at him as he so boldly course his look from my boots to my Face! I found this oddly brazen in his dire position at the moment and yet I smiled under my breath at this youth fearless manner. YOU kneel and call me YOUR QUEEN! Yet I know ye naught ELF! You speak of a pasted and yet again You are from Horde. A foe that has not been a friend all this long in the two worlds... I think ye have a vision of another from someone in your past that has told tells of such romance encounter. FOR I am Dra and ye are Elf... I stand for good! Over all Evil. Alliance over Horde! And Iam no Queen!I hear my own words speak out as if I were listening to another for I was unsure if I even believed in them myself. Yes I had been gone away so long. AND was shocked to see so little had change here and yet so much gone! It was almost funny to me this youth reaching out to make his way to this side of the channel to the point of trying to claim history with me. One I knew had naught been!.................(edited)

He stayed down on a knee while addressing her with a soft, buts sweet baritone voice which dispelled any thoughts of being A child or teenage Elf "Tis Lady Sskadi that I'm before , yes ? Sskadi is your name , your personal name not your sur name , correct Mi' Lady ? his demeanor was a bit perplexed but still confident that he was where he needed to be & that he was just needing to let her know that he knew more, much more then any Blood Elf should know About her at this time or place. "If this be true & that is your name then I'm where I need to be & I know what it is I am needed to be doing." .

He looked up into her eyes , lost for a moment in their depth & beauty before saying very softly for only her to hear "I do not know why but fate or chance has guided me here , to be with you at your Side and more. Much, much more indeed. But , I will explain all of that in due time . May I ?" at this point he makes a slight, subtle motion with his eyes which she can now see that the natural color in them is the deep Blue that she had seen earlier & that the "Golden Amber" was like an 'Overlay' - an effect from him being "Spiritually" connected to the newly redeemed & purified Sunwell of SilverMoon.(edited)

Lady Sskadi — 06/05/2021
My gaze downward to the being. My ears hears his protest as almost a request of acceptance of his tale. I fight the inner being of myself to play his game or banned him. As it was he now had exposed himself here in a most Alliance land as Horde. He was most usually not welcome here. Maybe on a battle field tolerance for the same cause... But to bare ones self in a Land that was Alliance was either brave or stupid. I had yet to determent since I myself had been away for so long only to been here a second moon passing. I was uncomfortable with his plait that he had a past with me. Because I knew it to be a lie. I was many things now days. Has became many things. Some naught so prideful of a Duchess name. But I knew my limits. Even in drank I knew one thing I'd never do.(edited)
[12:51 PM]
I answered his question though. It angered me that he felt he could expose me in both lights of who I MIGHT be when I myself was naught ready to face the wards of the Barony.
[12:55 PM]
Ye are before Duchess Sskadi. Protector of the BARONYS OF KALIMOR! THAT Elf, is what ye need only to understand of the name I bare to most for NOW!(edited)

Ye expectation needs to be spoken now before I see thee out of this lands.......................(edited)

TheSirStrazzen — 06/05/2021
He shook his head sadly & slowly as he came up from his kneeling position to stand at his full 6 foot 4 inch height, then went down to being on both knees , prostrating himself before her , his armor creaking in protest of the harsh position he was putting it into as his head now rested on his folded hands on the Inn floor as he continued to speak softly.

TheSirStrazzen — 06/05/2021
"I'm sorry that you still see me as a threat to you , your Inn & your lands. I am none of that , I assure you . I am Lord Sir Quiiemeer Anistan Du'Thorite , Baron Du'thorite - Lord of the Northern Forbidding Sea & Loyal Defender of the Eversong & all woods within . I am not 'Elf' as you know & speak it , I am not '' Quel'Dorei '', not any longer. I'm Sin'Dorei and I have traveled & sacrificed much to be here before you. You know & think of my people , the 'Blood Elves' as your enemy but I am not like them , not even close .

TheSirStrazzen — 06/05/2021
With his head & hands still on the floor he simply waited & wondered now if hiS dreams - his Vision had perhaps led him astray ? But it was well past time for doubts & second-guesses . He waited with the patience of stone for her reply.

Lady Sskadi — 06/05/2021
As he rose, I quickly stepped back. Now realizing his stature in height. Was impressive for a Elf. With blade still in hand I blinked as his movement begin to lower to something even more noticeable. I look quickly toward the Keeper who now began to come around the bar with a club in hand! I quickly hold out my hand to him to stop him! Looking back down at the being before me. his armor strained to the max creaked in pain almost. Looking around to make sure no others were in the Inn to see this I speak out firmly in a quickly mousey voice What are you doing! I listen to his words. His naught a threat. His naught Elf. His a Baron of firmed and found Land. One oddly enough I knew where it began and where those seas ended I sigh with wonder almost in my voice Your naught Elf... You still are Horde! I reached down grabbin at his shoulder armor pulling and demanding him GET UP!
[3:14 PM]
a sigh passes my lips. and I lower my high voice to more normal Get up. Elf... We will sit and talk about this vision of yours for bit but only a bit for again. I am naught the one ye have been with in your history pass............

TheSirStrazzen — 06/05/2021
He was caught off-guard by the Draenei woman's anger & strength as she yanked on his shoulder. As he tried to catch himself he ended up grasping her yanking arm then tripped slightly and fell backwards still gripping her arm tightly dragging her down on top of him in a heap of hooves , armor, horns & hair {since his hair flowed down to the middle of his back}. He sputtered & blushed as he put both of his gloved hands upper-arm/shoulder area as he said in an apologetic tone of voice/ "I'm so sorry my Que--, Lady Sskadi . I can be a bit 'clumsy' at times . Especially when it is something I'm not 'Expecting' . Please forgive me and let me get up on my own, once you get up from here. "/ He smiled his warm , happy smile as he took in her scent & felt her bodies 'Warmth' against his body & armor. He made no moves to get up or Anything else as he just enjoyed being so close to her.

Lady Sskadi — 06/06/2021
As I start to fall upon top of this now falling Elf, I spat out foul able words to the unexpected tumble, I find myself laying there a bit as the wind had been knock out of me. His armor was now pinching, poking and cutting my body. I could not Imagine if I too had been in my own full armor set what a mess this would of made! I shake my head quickly trying to regain composer! Hearing others now also yelling out to the scene my glance goes to the now running Inn Keeper and the barmaid scurrying to us! My Golden eyes, ones that use to be bright and mystic, now glazed with a grayish tired tint of amber that the last season of hardships had taken away, quickly look back down to your smiling face. My once smiling playful pouted red lips, over time of travel and battle now simple blushed, harden at you! I spat out at you! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!! As the Keeper and Maid upon us they begin to try to help me up, my eyes just close for second. I try to regain poster. The scene very uncertain and almost chaotic. One hand begins to wave off the extra help Please just stop! Stand still! OH, by the gods! Will everyone just be quiet! By the gods I feel as if I'm back on the war front!!!! I look back down at you under me and my eyes now grow hard and without words, my hands slam hard to your chest using them to push upward off you to a kneeling position between your armored legs as I pull and tug at my grabe. The Inn Keeper once again goes to help me up. This time I take the hand and stand. They quickly see my wrath and both parties begin to back away. Never removing my eyes from you now I glare at you. And say Thank you Innkeeper... *They Bow to me as they continue to back away. My stance ridged. My glare was heated. My Head goes back a bit as I slowly redraw my long dagger blade from my gurtle. I point it down to you and with a battle voice, known to any who had done field time knew I’d had enough! MY LEAGUE enough! I DO BELIEVE YOUR TIME HERE IS DONE!..................

TheSirStrazzen — 06/06/2021
He takes the knee to the groin & the hands to the chest in stride , until She tells him his time is done. Then his smile disappears & is replaced with an equally hardy & harsh grimace as he waits for Sskadi to be lifted off of him , feeling her leg & hands push off of him. He scowls At her, at the others as he growls as Speaks saying/ ""Oh how gloriously typical of Draenei & Alliance arrogance. Blame the Blood Elf , or Horde while it was your silly stunt of trying to lift me & toss me like a ragdoll when I'm a Fully armored & armed Knight. Oh , and then when you make Us , yes you, fall you try to use this 'Incident' to justify showing me out ? How rich , how very typically Rich & predictable of you arrogant alliance folk.

He waits till she is off of him , now pointing a weapon at him. He very slowly rocks back & forth till he rolls over on to his hands & knees. He then stands slowly once more at his full height holding his arms out wide in another subdued, peaceful gesture as he speaks again in a much more level & softer tone / ""How dare you of supposed Noble caste draw a weapon on me & then threaten me with it when I've done nothing, NOTHING to warrant this kind of response from you ? And then to top it all you demand that I leave when we've not even gotten to the heart of Why I, a Noble & Holy Warrior of a far away power ; Some may call it an Enemy State, ; why I'm here to begin with ? But, you are the "Queen" , And I , I'm just a lowly Baron of a foreign power. If you wish to keep Acting like an enraged Peasant So be it. But if you wish to truly act like a 'Royal Monarch' , then I suggest we both , nay , we all take time to recover. Then & only then we may discuss what is to be ?""(edited)

TheSirStrazzen — 06/06/2021
His eyes have lost their golden amber overlay & now are a deep, slate blue-grey color as he wonders why fate , why The Holy Sunwell has sent him all those dreams , and the clear as Day Vision that led him here to this typical, little no name Inn & Tavern ? He murmurs under his breath in Thallassian about why he was Sent & what it was The Holy SunWell wanted him to do ? He speaks two names in near Silence, with deep reverence as he asks for their guidence & wisdom to sort all of this "Quest" out. His last wordS are in Common as he says "Please Bless me & my mission, & thank you Mother, thank you Father. Your lessons live on.."

Lady Sskadi — 06/07/2021
Blood Elf ye are rightly so in just how glorious arrogant I can be. I've earn thus right to be prideful and even less if so needed. I started with a lore of pride and abernice of my past family. I've end with just reentering a lost kingdom. To seek what I wrongful left to see only a few left to be such loyal. Are they Loyal to me or my family name. I dough tis the first. Yet I have return to seek My knights for a just cause to find they are the cowards I did naught expect. Just yet how could I except any actions since my own pulled me away for 12 moons. Yet with death is rebirth. And one hopes in what was thought as friends. So ye see Blood Elf... Lord Sir Quiiemeer Anistan Du'Thorite , Baron Du'thorite - Lord of the Northern Forbidding Sea ... Claimer of Loyal Defender of the Eversong & all woods within. To me I know ye naught I see Horde Til other wise I know what tis thy business which one has taken to long to speak within thus I question who ye work for. For I have enemies I know parley with me. TIS ye that asked forgiveness of being clumsy. Tis I to help the from this affection quicker.
[2:01 PM]
Was ye smirk and smile to the calamity of the fall and I upon ye that now draws me to my "so called Gloriously typical of Draenei & Alliance arrogance." Was ye sheer boldness that ye made aware to me that set the light upon me. For again I know naught ye nor ye palliate. So since ye feel such as we typically Rich & predictable arrogant alliance folk I see naught what the matter is ye being done here and away from us and me.
[2:03 PM]
My glaze fallows his stance. Though I do realize that we could be at battle if he wanted to engage and he had naught so I do Lower my blade a bit. In a sign that I did naught wish to battle that the move was only for protection
[2:08 PM]
Ye question my motive of actions. Elf might it been the way ye started out with me as proclaiming a love of us in the past which I know is naught true. Might it been justify by the way I felt you where being untruthful and felt a threat. YE Say "Noble and Holy Warrior! How do I know this when I see a Horde Blood Elf! SO DON"T CALL ME A Peasant when My actions are to protect myself from a spy!(edited)
[2:10 PM]
She winces at his prayer like words to his SunWell in his Thallassian langue... When done I say something odd Tis there only one Horde I have bank with. AND she did not mention ye....
[2:14 PM]
Ye Blood Elf Du'Thorite enter my Kingdom Kalimdor, entering my Barony Ashenvale. Tis upon thee to make grace here... Naught corner in my Barony Inn....(edited)

Lady Sskadi — 06/07/2021
*Her tallness peaked with a muscled manner yet slender at her 115lbs stood glaring for your answer of some sort and the need of a a apology. Her over cast tired Amber eyes stated she was tried and yet just as any fighter can switch and find the strength when challenge. One could look at her once Nobility and see Red dark lips that now just seemed blushed. Her once shimming Mane now silver matched her once glowing skin now Powdered skin. Yes she was a War Duchess but she was a tired Duchess that had just reentered a weaken Barony to find all but few Knights had stayed to protect the people and a few Ambassadors! So why should she , NO how could she trusted anyone Other than the one reason shed been found and summons to do, But Hear the Queen Tyrande words with her..................................(edited)

TheSirStrazzen — 06/07/2021
Quiie sighed sadly as he gazed at the Draenei Lady starting to see what others , or even himself did not see at first . As he gazed at Sskadi once more he now began to see ''Beyond the Mask", that she had up , kept up for most to See her as - The Proud & Fierce Monarch of the Land , their "Queen". But what he began to see now was A woman, simply a lonely, bruised & battered woman who had not broken , not yet. She seemed so , 'Lost' , or maybe confused ? Befuddled ? He did not know which that she was , but Sskadi was clearly suffering from her past . It hung over her like a dark cloud, clung to her like a Palm Monkey hanging on her back . Weighing her down & making it feel like she, only She could bear this and all other Burdens for this land. But she knew that wasn't true. Others could & would help , but at times like these She felt it was up to her and her alone. But that is why He was here, why he risked Death, Torture & worse . He was here to help, to be the 'anchor' that held her steady even in the strong storms. But he knew that ~ she didn't, & that was their problem

This 'Revelation' & the others that his mind had come too in the blinks of his eyes made him feel very tired, sad, & most of all 'sorry', that he & her had nearly wasted the one chance they had of working together & succeeding where so many others failed. . He stood there, his mind racing At faster than Warp Speed, yet his body did not act, not yet at least ? He was thinking of every possible conclusion , good or bad & what it meant to the World , or to Him ? Her ? Them ?He knew that he should not be thinking in those Terms, but being this close to her ? So near yet so very, very far away ? He still did not know what to say so for now in these long, tense moments he did & said nothing, for now.

Quiiemeer felt his mind racing, running along so fast that he was having trouble keeping up. Then , when his weary & worn down mind could no longer 'Keep Up' with the numbers & calculations and more , so much more that his mind simply "Stopped" , & then so did he. As he felt this coming over him, he murmured / ""Please mercy my Quee..... , Sskadi ? Help......................... His eyes rolled back into his head as he crumpled to the ground . Falling backwards he fell into a table & chairs bonking his head on top as he fell in a heap amidst the Inn's furniture. { i.e.: Out Cold - for 1 day +/-}(edited)

Lady Sskadi — 06/08/2021
My eyes widen at the beings fall! The Keeper and maid come back scurry to my side, looking downward at the now crumbled body! We in a matter of question look at each other and then back down then back again to each other questioning? I hold my blade upward looking at it then back again to the body on the floor saying I never even stuck him! The innkeeper says Duchess Sskadi this is much to strange. Lets just send the maid for some arms and see this being on his way! still all of us just looking down at him unsure what to do or what we should be doing. Without moving eyes from the downward mark I say Umm Well huh... Let's... Let's just get him up against the wall. Maid fetch The Ambassador! I had not spoken yet to My Ambassador. What a way to say, Hey I'm back. This Elf had cause much grief to my plan of easing back into my Barony at my own time. Of needing to watch within the wall here and yet Now I am having to be announce with a fainting Blood Elf! My angry soon becoming annoyance with him. And be quick about it girl! Help me Keeper pull him to the wall! we stood over him watching. The keeper had tried to put drink into his mouth only for it to spill out running and gurgling down his chin and neck spilling onto his chest area. We turn as the Inn door swing open with the rushing in of the Ambassador who now stood in awe of Me standing there. Then Looking down to the floor against the wall then back up My My My DUCHESS SsKADI! He quickly bows... I nodded and hand to wave him quickly over Yes Yes Milord! now hurry Come come come here! He hurries tot he scence looking down then back to me? I quickly speak I never even stuck him! We have no idea really who or why he is here. Did he fallow me home... I'm not that silly but he was here waiting on me in the Inn here.(edited)
[10:26 AM]
Then the Ambassador looks quick in question to the Inn keeper who quickly says He only order a plate and drink and made no trouble Sir. He never removed his hood so I never saw he was Blood Elf! The Ambassador sighs and places a Arm on mine and says Tis good to see you my Duchess and what are your orders....(edited)
[10:29 AM]
How many wards are left? shaking his head Not many My Duchess, not many... I nodded already knowing just from my quick view through the ground. Lets get him to a room and Post a guard to the door and watchmen under the window on ground. FOR now.. Then we must talk... Ambassador nods Aye My Duchess.(edited)
[10:32 AM]
InnKeeper Think Ill take something bit stronger than black this round...He nods and turning quickly head to fix a strong mug as he pushes the Maid pointing to start cleaning and clear up the table and chairs! Then says to the Ambassador who now is bending over his Big Tall Hugely muscular Dra Body over to swing the Belf over his shoulder Upstairs, The Third Bed to the right milord! .........................................................(edited)

TheSirStrazzen — 06/08/2021
The Blood Elf made no response nor movement to the various ministrations being done to him. His color was pale now, not at all like the light golden skin his face had shown her when he first arrived. His heartbeats were steady & solid but his breathing was deep , but just a bit too fast for someone who was passed out like he was there on the Inn floor.

As far as the big Bonk on his head there was no denying that he'd feel it & it would hurt like hell whenever he came back to consciousness. The "Gooze Egg, was still growing on his head now being the size of a tennis ball . He continued to simply breathe & lay there oblivious to the waking world , unsure of just how he'd be cared for if even cared for at all ? .

That night was long. Off for me to be back. Even in my old Bed. I dressed slow and had met with few very very early this morn. I enter the Inn and was quickly handed my usually. I smiled that the keeper was so loyal he remember my likes. Now taking up my cup of black, I decide to go check on the Elf. I just didn't need this right now. But I now would demand his meaning here. The Guard steps aside and opens the door for me to enter. Closing it behind me. I take a long drink as I stand at the foot of the bed looking over this being. My Ambassador had manged to remove his Armor and weapons and was search to no answers of this being here. I noticed the bump on his head looking rather nasty and bused. I shook my head at him noting his claim to a Baron and squawk of Himself being of a position in his own Land. Something just wasn't right. A being of his statue as he claimed wouldn't have just fell like that. Nor would one have lost balance with a simple pull of shoulder toss. It was almost as I was looking at a untrained solider. Was I? Was I looking at a protected prince who his King Daddy and Queen Mother never let him be trained. All I knew for now was he was a Blood Elf sworn enemy of my People and he had words for me. And had risked much to speak to me. Did he know I was not here in my Kingdom when he came here? Did he know about my lands and their history? Or did he and was a spy sent here under a disguised as a boyish actor? This Elf had some answering to me I needed. His position in that bed with hurt needed to heal soon. I sit down my drink and pouring water from a jug and taking a cloth dip it in cold water, walking over I lay it over the bruise in a mothering fashion and say. Wake Up Elf soon for we have need of words. By this time not only with that morning meet. I had sent a private word to my only trusted Horde being to inquiry about who you might be.....................................................(edited)

Quiiemeer drifted along in dreams near a sea with a smile on his face & one word in his mind : Home . The Solitary Tower he saw now was right along the coast of the Forbidding Sea on a thumb shaped piece of land that jutted out from the rest of the coast. Standing 5 or maybe 6 stories high it was built with rarely seen Architecture, Technology & Stonework craftsmanship that surpassed any Elven work of the same . It was in or around SilverMoon, the largest & most populated city of the "Sin'dorei" , the Blood Elves .

But now this thought made him grimace & frown . SilverMoon , The Capital of his people the Sin'dorei - Blood Elves , the goal of Prince Arthus & 'The Scourge' - Human & Traitor to his people and destroyer of over 90% of the 'Elves' of SilverMoon. The Once quiet yet proud 'Quel'dorei' , High Elves to most people in Azeroth , now they were known by the name their Prince Kael'Thas - eventually their own 'Traitor', gave to them their new name - " Sin'dorei " , Blood Elves . ~~>>(edited)

TheSirStrazzen — 06/08/2021
Despite the towering & glittering noble homes end the glorious Towers of obvious Arcane power, SilverMoon did not invoke happy memories in Quiiemeer - not any longer. The shine had worn off of the Nobilities homes long before now & he never did quite feel like he "Belonged", in the glittering towers of 'The Enchanters ', of his people . Not like his older brother Ziiemeer did, who took to the study & art of being called "Mage" , like a Fish to water. More so Ziie loved casting Magics, but he truly adored & Loved 'Making', magics.

Though not magically inclined, Quiiemeer did excel at a few things. Like physical training, hard manual labor and Arms & Armor training . From a young age he worked with his father in learning proper training techniques , nutrition & the basics of almost every class & style of weapon. By the time he was able to go serve in the city guard he was head & shoulders above the rest, and they knew it. So rather than trying to match Quiie in the "Battle Circle", they got to him away from it. They harassed, belittled and shunned him for many different & equally weak reasons.(edited)

He was floating like he was riding on the bird mount that his fiancé, Moira , had trained herself so long ago. He smiled as he heard her speak in that sweet alto-toned voice that he luv'd & adored, and when she sang so sweetly to him he always felt comforted, loved & most of all ~ safe. Safe in her arms he always felt till the Horde forces in & on her families lands,''Mistakenly'' attacked her holdings and ransacked her estate. When Quiie found out mere hours later he became enraged as he saw the damage & still smelled the smoke from fires that were still glowing embers.

He tracked the War Party to a small cave system near the Eastern Plaguelands and attacked the mixed group of Ork's, Tauren & Trolls who numbered nearly a dozen warriors . A true,Beacon of Light,he became as he tore into the small group . Now with his blade glowing with the Holy Light of his conviction he cut & stabbed , hacked & sliced everything he came upon within their group. He even ended up decapitating every Troll he engaged, going from being a Beacon of Light to now becoming almost like a living,"Sword of Vengeance," . As he looked down at the Lone Survivor of his attack , a severely wounded Tauren, he now realized he was wounded as well.

Pointing his gore & blood soaked blade at the large bull-man {his nickname for them}, he asked the Tauren "I do not care about the treasure you stole nor the lands that you rampaged through. All I care for & about is a woman. So tell me truthfully and I swear by the light of my blade & of the Holy Redeemed SunWell I will heal you & send you on your way with no harsh feeling as long as you take my message. Is or was there a 'Human' girl, well, Lady, who would have been in charge? ? The local nobility for those lands who was ,"The Baroness? A younger female with rich reddish hair & a nasty temper when she is threatened? While the Tauren shrugged his big shoulders-->>(edited)

TheSirStrazzen — 06/09/2021
->it/he pointed at his gut showing what Quiie didn't want to see. A large, deep wound that was letting blood out much too fast. Quiie knew he had to heal this enemy . Though he was technically his 'ally', Quiie didn't felt that way towards him. Then the large Bull-man pointed at Quiie saying in very broken Common "Uuh lok Guurrl , yeezz ? Uooh--maan ? Liiveezz, mooh-veeng wiit Biig Bozz yeezz ? De go Zouuth , Den EEzzt ye ? ". By this time Quiie nearly started crying as he nodded his head to him. Then the Holy Warrior started calling on the SunWell & its glorious Light to heal him, enemy no longer.

Quiiemeer then changed & spoke in the Troll language saying"Yes , Girl. Moira , yes ? Hair like Fire, Flames yes ? Armored , armed ?". The Tauren nodded then smiled as he folded his hands together, making the motion like he was praying back to Quiiemeer. He then changed to the Troll language saying "Thank you for healing. I not know why fight Us, my brothers & sisters, but I thank you much . Huuman woo-mhnn wit ray-ding Bozz & honor guards. Is half dozen ? Dozen ? Not zuuree, Elf be carr-fuul , yeezz ? I is Korr-zeehn, yeez ? Yoouu Track de'm, yeez ? I've no "Life Mate" but is , . , is Huumahn fee-mail Elf's...... .

Quiie nodded sadly & slow as he then asked & said"Well met Korzin, I Quiiemeer, Quiie . I'm sorry you were here with 'Others' . Yeh I can track them, & yes the Human female, she's my wife , my Life Mate and my heart's Joy & Desire."Quiie tried but the tears flowed now, just a couple of moments before he could wipe them away. But now his blue eyes were streaked with red from all the raw emotions he was feeling. As he cried it out & dried it off he felt a large hand softly rest on him, "Elf not worry, Korzin prays. Earth Mother helps , protects Elf's Mate yes ?". Quiie just nodded silently as he then heard a sweet voice "Wake up Elf soon fo..."(edited)

Lady Sskadi — 06/09/2021
Standing at the foot of the bed I turned and walk to the window looking out. For some time pass and my mind rattled. Rattle from something old to the now pressing pages that sat upon me and upon my desk. They were naught anything that I knew would not be here waiting anyways for me and honestly was why I had returned. But I was naught expecting a fainting Blood Elf to be waiting for me either. I would look over at the string Elf. He was restless. Unattainable whispers passed his pale lips. Was this a sign of ill fate or something else. Was this Elf drying before I had my answers? I would take my last drink of black and sigh. I wondered again what his reason was for being here. Why the pretested of a past relationship. And how one that just faints after a bit of confrontation just passing out how crossed the big waters, and he got through the lands to here from his realm Kingdom? My questions may not get answers for I would be needing to leave soon. As for upon my return and the discovery that I was home, I had orders waiting for me from The King of Azeroth himself... I would naught be able to teary much longer I feared. My boots clicked on the wood floor as I turned for the door. Now no long adored in a red cloth travel grab I had replaced my attar with my Duchess daily Garb. My most simplest circlet, Simple Baronial Tunic with split skirt and boots. A low hip belt with a Baronial leather sheaf and dagger. The Guard Nod a slight bow and stepped aside as I step out. Make sure his stay conformable. We need his words before he dies Solider. He nods Yes My Duchess Heading down the Inn Keeper looks up and reaches for my cup to refill I don't know Keeper, may naught make it. he says I'll keep the maid looking after him MiLady. Taking the cup I hold it up in toast to the keeper in thanks I'll return later Keeper... walking our of the Inn I whispers under breath wake up soon Elf, wake up soon! ...........................................(edited)

Quiiemeer hears the rich, sweet voice again"Wake up Elf Soo~~........"Which does wake him up this time for whatever odd reason. He was in a bed that he did not recognize nor did he remember much of anything except the Queen, her beauty & sweet voice and the severe pain when his head connected with the stout table. He was in a simple nightshirt as he slowly & silently swung his legs out from the covers & planted his feet on the floor. Holding on to the headboard he slowly stood up, not feeling too badly for a man who narrowly missed having a major concussion. He steadied himself as he silently & slowly crept to the door. Before getting fully to the door he slowly thought about "The Light", and also"The Sunwell", as both of those entities helped him ease the pain from his"Goose Egg",on his noggin. He leaned on the wall for a few moments then carried on.

Walking now with no ill effects with the days of rest having done some good for Quiie's worn down & fatigued body he tested the door. Unlocked he smiled as he gently & slowly opened it up just a small crack, seeing a Guard just outside. Ever so swiftly Quiie pushed the Guards helm down over its forehead & on the bridge of the nose, then hammered the helm down hard as he sprang out like a nimble Hawkstrider running down the short hall & hopefully he'd be out the front or back door and following Sskadi's rather obvious trail of Queenly dress shoes & hopefully perfumed presence(edited)

Hearing the guard struggle with the helm firmly slammed down on their head the barmaid headed towards the sounds as the Innkeeper was downstairs in the cellar getting some stuff to restock the bar. Quiie waited patiently for the maid to almost make it to the Guard before he tried to move again. He'd found that the large tables and chairs were perfect cover if one was behind a chair that was next to a table.

There were several table & chairs that were set up like that one after the other, all in a row. He went slow & careful as the Barmaid ended up passing him by as she was around the corner now trying to see what was the matter with the Door Guard. When he saw that she was out of sight he made his move.

Bare feet padded softly & swiftly across the Inn's floor, not stopping till he was a step or three out the door and to his left of the doorway. Once there he paused just for a moment as he sniffed the air while looking down & out across the ground looking for footprints or any other indication of how & where the Queen had gone too ? ?(edited)

Having paused a few steps to the left from the doorway into the inn Quiie looked for Signs of her passing ? He smelled the air for maybe a trace of her scent ? Or new boot/shoe prints that he could reason that were hers ? Not seeing anything obvious he moved off away from the building a few more steps so he'd be in some cover , that was next to a large, stout tree.

He said silent thanks to The Light & the Sunwell for such a wonderful Tree to be where he could kneel For a moment or three and collect his thoughts and figure out what he should do next ?(edited)

~ ~ ~

As he leaned against the Tree he felt a sudden Vertigo wash over him as he went to both knees and basically, "Hugged", the big Oak swooning for a moment then feeling it pass on. He slowly went to just a knee now kneeling as he kept a hand on the tree while looking all around for the horns & hooves of the Lady he needed to find.

Without seeing much of anything that would direct him to her he stood up leaning on the trunk while still trying his best to figure out just where in the blessed scrub & underbrush that big, beautiful & apparently silent & swift Draenei woman had gotten too already ? He felt like he had just heard her voice just out front from his room ? He knew that she could not have been there, but where was she ? And furthermore was Sskadi the same as she was , as she had been in his dreams ? And more importantly , as she had been in his Nightmares too? ? .(edited)

Lady Sskadi — 06/13/2021
(War Hall priavte meet rm) I nodded to the Queen. Her words echoed my own feelings. It did not take her long to speak to me. She touched my arm softly and ask Are you OK Sskadi. I know its been hard. All our losses have been hard. But I trust you. You are your Father and Mothers Child! YOU are as much a War Duchess as they were a Duke and Duchess. I nod to her uncertain with the drink heavy on my breath Ill make my wants and words to everyone Later today out in the yards(edited)
June 14, 2021

Lady Sskadi — 06/14/2021
(War Room) I sighed as I heard my few Knights and General and Ambassador talk chaotically at my proposal. They fussed of who how many how could we and ect. I rubbed my face hard. I held my hand up as I took a drink! I understand everyone, Pulling many of whats left here does feel like where exposed again to more attacks. KALIMDOR Is MY HOME TOO. You all know all my castles and outpost here all over Kalimdor have taking hits from the Horde. From this last War. I Understand we are hardly yet recovering! I turn and point toward Darnassas, even though it had been some time now the burning of the Life Tree and say CAN YOU STILL SEE IT! CAN YOU STILL SMELL IT BURNING FROM ACROSS THE WATERS? THAT IS FROM HER! my voice lowers and my eyes lowers and tear up as I say Trust me no one feel the pain of loss of Darkshore, Lordanel as much as I. Remember it was my home too. they suddenly hush with a sadness as the Ambassador lays his hand on my arm and says Forgive us Milady. We wept the day we help ye lain the King and daughter to sea as well. there was a silence for moment and then I take another long hard drink and whisper It seems along time ago... Then with a loud harsh voice and the slamming of my tankard in the middle of the war table as it spills what was left on the maps there! SO with every options and every means With ever chance I now but would see her head on this table!!!! SO YES we will go to this Shadow lands and seek her!!!! The General speaks up but cautiously I think the Ambassador legend and a few of my guards place well may be enough with joining they ranks of some of the Night Elfs and Others that will stay behind, My Duchess.(edited)
[7:19 PM]
I turn and walk to the window and looking out say Thank ye all. See to this General. For we Hear Queens Tyrande words to all in the yards later today..... Now I have another matter to deal with.(edited)
[7:19 PM]
And General, I pause then continue Make Haste for we will leave in a 14night moon.......................................................

Lady Sskadi — 06/16/2021
After everyone cleared the room I would need to prepare myself for The Queens speech to everyone. But I too needed to deal with this Blood Elf. I did not need these two problems to meet. I sigh as I turn to heard out to seek my quarters. A small house at the edge of the village.
.

Lady Sskadi — 06/16/2021
(Astranarr,Ashenvale Outside grounds) Though I did have a room here in the warhall as a private room I sought my own Quarters. I needed drink and smoke. The kind that I housed in my quarters. I sigh as I turn to heard out to seek my quarters. A small house at the edge of the village. I listen to my own boots as I walk out of the hall tap tap tap tap.. My mind flipped from the Queens meeting, To my own meeting with my arms, to what I was gonna do about this Blood Elf. As I decide to cut through the yard as to not be seen, as I step thru a archway that opened into the side yard that simply connected to the other side instead of taking the road. About halfway through the yard something catches my sight! I could not believe what I was as seeing in the corner of my eye! The Blood Elf hanging on a Tree some yards away , him there in nothing but a white tunic!!!
I could not believe what I was watching. As he went to one knee looking around! Suddenly I turn to the sounds of yelling n hustling with commotions !! Coming out of the Inn n down the street all was yelling for the Elf. The escape! The Horde a loose!!!!! Suddenly I swallowed hard n begin foul word in Dra. As I found myself quickly upon The Elf before the commotions reached here , grabbed at the back of your collar saying. Your gonna get yourself killed. Come with me Now! Where we can talk!!!!!! …(edited)

TheSirStrazzen — Today at 3:09 AM
Quiie s heard the Draenish words only a few times before , usually as a curse towards him within Battle as his blade, "The Bane of Trolls", was ending their pain. To hear such language coming from behind him and from the soft, sweet voice of the Queen truly surprised & shocked him as he felt her hands grab him about his neck and hoist him up from his kneeling position with ease.He did not try to fight against her strong grip as he felt that he really did not stand much of a chance in his current condition. He simply let her drag / carry him off to wherever it was that She felt she needed to take him so that they could talk openly in safety and be able to ensure that he would be kept safe from the Commoners that may wish to extract vengeance upon him even though he had personally done no wrong to any of them , not yet anyways ?

Lady Sskadi — 06/16/2021
Letting go of the Collar, I breath heavy and with a flat voice and say again You need to come with me. Before they find you... and Hang ye up I do wish to hear why ye have come so far to dangerous ones self as such. Though I do note here you trying to escape so know I do not trust thee Elf and one wrong move and I myself will strike thee down. I turn to lead the way back toward the path I had been on I turn many times to see if ye were fallowing. Reaching the The small quarters one would note it was more of a small house but was set as mine. AND most knew , it they knew, when I was here not to bother me(edited)

TheSirStrazzen — 06/16/2021
He nodded at her, then replied in a flat tone "How many of you, your Kin would try to escape the first chance they could if held Prisoner by The Horde ? Yea , I thought so . Every last one of you would, and do not try to lie for you know it to be the Truth. That is what the Light bids me to speak - Truthfully , Honestly and with a thoughtful Openness that few dare show to their Friends & Allies much less their Supposed Enemies ." . He then motioned for her to lead or to follow as he moved to where she needed him to be saying "Truly I am sorry if my actions put you or your reign at Risk ? That is nor was ever my Intent . I am at your whim & calling , whatever it is that you wish, My Lady Sskadi ." .

Lady Sskadi — Yesterday at 3:03 PM
(Private House,Astranarr,Ashenvale) I stood at the Door Unsure if to take you in or not. It could mean many foul thing for me in the end... Such as if caught or if you try to fight me or if other unknows.................................................(edited)
[11:25 PM]
Lady Sskadi — Yesterday at 7:55 PM
His words or more so his tone of words scorn me. Almost putting me off and a moment thought to just let him be caught crossed my mind. His arrogant words to me while i am at risk here to taking him to my quarters of his " yea I thought so" and "and do not try to lie.." actually made me stop a moment and reconsider my own actions here. If he had not quickly fallowed with the sorry I would not have continued to seek him to fallow me to a more safe place. My own private quarters. Standing at my Threshold again I asked myself was this Elf worth having to explain why he was in my quarters without a Guard. This was risky as since the Queen Tyrande had shown now. I still had this inner need to know why he was here seeking me.Especially since he contiuned we had had a past and he called me Queen * I Opened my door and stood aside, with a wave of my hand ushered the Elf in.* inside it was of many things. All Of my needs and wants had been replenished since my return, though I had not been back long. Bottles of drink. Vasts of dried meats and veg and fruits. Few baskets of bread. A reel of cheese. And hanging racks of herbs. Wood for the fire. My belongings cleaned and trunk-ed. It was one of my nicer homes here in Kalimdor. And for a moment my heart hurt for my home that was destroyed at Lor-danel by the Horde. By his side. I swallowed hard and remembered also my Real home was back in Azurmyst Isles, BUT I valued the ones that was granted to me throughout Kalimdor that came with my Position needing to move through the land for Battles and such. When you step in you see:.....................................
[11:27 PM]
Floors covered with bear rugs. To one side, A Window seat with my maps and other studies.

[11:28 PM]

[11:29 PM]
*Fallowed with a study table. Just behind it was a door.

[11:32 PM]
To the other side a nice small a eating table. Just out of sight the Hearth for warmth and cooking.

[11:32 PM]

[11:33 PM]
Slightly closer to the Hearth my bed.

[11:33 PM]
TheSirStrazzen — Yesterday at 9:59 PM
With barely a nod he slips into the room as Silent as a church mouse when a Mouser Cat is near. Quiie moves across the room and then settles at the side nearest the paired shelves, away from her weapons rack sitting on the hearths little 'Ledge' , as he looks around like a Cat {Big Hunting Cat}, would do..
He then turns his gaze and focus to the Stonework in & around the large Hearth area as he runs his hands along the worked stone with a mostly approving smile and a satisfied touch of his hands. He then takes a small step back to view the Stone Hearth better saying softly {in fluent,but heavily accented Dwarvish}-->, "Aye, I do wish you can'a see dizz fine work here Lad. But FossRoy most of all I miss , We both misses you very much. We, we never told you enough how much we depended on you and just how much we both learned from you, I think me most of all. So wherever you are resting now Old Friend, know your Lessons are still of use & that Ziie & Me both miss you more than we could ever say to you, ever tell you in Life. Rest well my Old Teacher, you've more than earned it.


Quiiemeer moved to & knelt before the wood stacked beside the fireplace . He then looked for and found little bits of Kindling which he gathered slowly together, as if waiting & letting Lady Sskadi have time to think and speak if she wished too ?

Once gathered and piled correctly Quiie woul make a small Somantic gesture, then saying in Thallassian softly, "Bisschen Fetea". A small jet of Flame leapt from his outstretched hands to the piled kindling which caught the flames fully and began to burn brightly. He then piled on more, slightly bigger pieces of wood till a warm & cozy sized fire was burning well & brightly within the hearth.(edited)

Lady Sskadi — 06/18/2021
I walked straight for a small box on the stand next to my bed. I watched and heard his famish words to another and winch a mintue to them and then watch the Blood Elf begin to make a fire. Wasn't sure if I was relaxed at allowing this being to just move freely about my private spacing here. But the fire would be nice to maybe relax the intsenty to I feared of words getting ready to be spoken amonsts us. Then as he kneels downward, My head cocks to the side, My eye widen a bit as my hand goes quickly to my mouth to snifles a small laugh as to the only baring peice this Elf wore just hiked upward revieling a bit more of the bottom than I had intened to ever see.(edited)

Lady Sskadi — 06/18/2021
Lowering my eyes and I open my box and begin to make a roll. Even though lowered my still watched catiously * I sigh and ask?* Smoke?
[11:32 AM]
the scent from the box was not your normal tabacco. But a good scent of herb. I then pointed to the bottles and said. Help yourself to drink. I sat the box down on the table and point with my head to it and you in indication to help yourself to it and then begin to say Not sure what ye fate will be next here Blood Elf But I'd enjoy while the offer is beign made here. So Elf here is your chance to speak to me to tell me this story of ye words that seem very important for ye to risk ye life for to get to me and speak. Lets so hear them now. For we haven't much time since Will be called to a meeting later this day. I did not by choice mention who the meeting included I walk toward the hearth and leaned a hand on it, the other held my smoke and I look over at you, take a hit, letting the smoke exhale from my blush lips, thne saying in a softer voice than had been spoken since we had met Tell me ye words Elf.~~~(edited)

TheSirStrazzen — 06/18/2021
Quiiemeer nodded as she offered the rolled herb saying, "Yes, please and thank you very much. You've been most kind compared to the others. And thank you again for both your hospitality & your willingness to listen to my tale at least. Most among my own kind would & do call me Crazy, Deluded & Insane. But i know you will hopefully understand once I'm done telling you everything that I know & have had happen to me along the way.

He took the joint(?), hitting it once & letting the smoke curl out from his mustached mouth as he picked a bottle at random & opened it taking a long, slow swig of the liquid within. Shuddering he then took another longer hit then paused as he gazed at her ; so Fierce, Proud, Hurt & Beautiful. All these things described Lady Sskadi well yet so many more words were needed to even come close to describing her fully.
[1:09 PM]
He too now seemed much more relaxed & At ease as he drank some more then began telling her what he was about and why he risked his life & livelihood coming all the way to find her.

TheSirStrazzen — 06/18/2021
"To begin with as you know I am Quiiemer , younger Son of the Baron of The Northern Forbidding Sea & the EverSong Woods. I was not supposed to become the ''Baron'', but my older brother, Ziiemeer abdicated when he got married to a human girl , Marri , who was a Mage like he is. They had their first born, a son as well so Ziie thought it best to let me take care of The Barony while he & his wife raised their little boy & he continued his practice of "Enchantment", since he is one of the best Enchanters in all of Silvermoon." .(edited)

TheSirStrazzen — 06/18/2021
He paused a few moments , frowning as he was recalling something that made him look {and feel} very sad. He then said,"Do you recall , remember "The Scourge" ? Not just the name or what you may have heard in bar room tales , but of really , truly living through their attacks ? Yes ? No ? Because I Remember , every last attack . Every time I close my eyes I see my Father ~ ~, at this point he finishes the bottle of Ale and moves to grab another as he starts to cry slowly saying so very softly ,"My very dead corpse of what used to be my father who now walked as a , a , hell I don't know what he was except dead ? But he was most certainly very, very dead , decomposing & moving by the will of evil Necromantic Magics.". At this point he paused again tears softly falling down as he drank dow over half of the new bottle, then just shook his head, staring off into space like the War Weary Veteran he was .

Lady Sskadi — Today at 1:31 PM
I look sideways to the Elf. One eye brow goes upward at this being lack of vigor. He claimed "Protector" And yet all I've seen of this Elf was weakness at this point. The consent falling down and the passing out and the weaker manor of usably peasant woman. His tale almost seemed grandma like. From a little ole lady on her last days. He asked questions and yet really not. For they ended in matter of part of the tale. The bedtime story. And it was as well he knew naught how to drink like a warrior! The crying... It seems to have been going on from the first night met in the Inn! Naught the kind of war hero I was accustom to. Yes we had tales. Yes had losses and death close to us. I remember these Wars to and had lost close ones too... I continued to look at this being that honestly was rather pityfy at this point to a Dra. war hero. I quickly looked back to the flames and shook my head cleared my voice and then back at him and said Hey! Hey You! Come back here to me.... I wondered if this being was mental ok now at this point You gonna tell me why your here and seeking me. We don't have much time! I rubbed my face hard and turned to face him fully I don't mean to be course but you just really don't understand what's going here and how much your life could be mistaking as a threat here. I need to know why your here for me? Why you think you've had a pasted with me? As I spoke these last words I now wondered... as I've just witness again this being in a state of weakness to a point of I question his mental state... was he in a fantasty mental mind and a made up dream of my Name.(edited)

Lady Sskadi — 06/19/2021
Suddenly a knock at the door with one of the ambassors voice announcing My Duchess. Sorry for the intrusion. We see your hearths firplace smoke and know ye normal wish not to be borther in yoru private quaters but Your Head General, The Baroness, Lady Vyrandi, has arrived. Along with the package! I quickly turn facing the door and then look back over at you and hold my hand up for ye to not make a sound I quickly answer Tell her to seek the package to the tents. She will know. And then when she returns, See her to the General's Quarters and see she is well hosted. Give her the message of the court yard meeting for all will be late this evening after Dinner hours.... I wait for their responseYe My Duchess! I answer Thank ye Ambassor! My eyes divert back to you my hand held up just a minute longer til I hear it is safe to talk We need our visit to hurry here I am afraid Elf... Tell me now I urge what business ye have with me...~~~~~~(edited)

TheSirStrazzen — 06/20/2021
He shook his head as if to try and clear himself , then sat the bottle down as he handed the Bud back to her, his hand then softly, lovingly tracing around her horn, then down along it & her cheek and then her neck saying so very softly & sweet as he said, "Tell me Sska , do you believe in Dreams ? Visions ? NightMares too ? For me I never did , till I started hearing , seeing you in all of what I just mentioned. I know your voice, know how you feel in my arms , in our Bed together because certain visions and dreams , nightmares that I've had over the past few years. Dear Maker I know I sound like a Lunatic, but I swear by The Light & The Sunwell that what I say and saw in those visions - both good & bad were truth as we know it."

TheSirStrazzen — 06/20/2021
He stood back from her only A pace or two then saying ,"Tell me my dear , Would you risk life, limb, home and hearth on a dream ? A very intense Vision of what I think is , was our Future To Be ? I know that you don't know me in this realm; but you've seen & heard About "The Shadow Lands", yes? If you believe in that then believe me when I say I know you, you know me , we intimately know each other , very well your Majesty." . He stood there in the night shirt ,
barely covering his trunk & junk as he looked at her knowing how wild & insane what he said sounded , but he prayed that she could & would take a chance on his Visions and let him explain more of it till she knew what needed to be done here.

TheSirStrazzen — 06/20/2021
Looking at her hooves & horns, her full, blush lips & womanly figure~~ a figure that in the depths of his Minds Eye he knew so very, very well. His male parts felt the blood flow hotly into them , making standing there in an ill fitting night shirt fit not at all as he remembered night after day after night of sweet passion & hot pleasure with one of the, "Enemy", or at least according to his people she/they were.

TheSirStrazzen — 06/20/2021
Quiiemeer gazes into her eyes murmuring,"Lad-- , Sskadi , I am not your 'Enemy' , never will be. I will die before I hurt my Lov-- , well just know I'd never, EVER hurt you , my Lu--". He looks down averting his amber eyes from her with a look that speaks of him wanting to hug, hold, or just know that she knows , that she remembers him , them.

From his speech & stance it's obvious that he feels strongly for her, & that now thinking back to his armor & gear nowhere did she see any symbols nor tokens of The Horde only a small necklace with A depiction of The Holy Redeemed Sunwell. His weapons & armor were plain except the one handed sword he had bore the inscription, "The Bane of Trolls", in Old High Elvish runes.(edited)

Lady Sskadi — 06/21/2021
I watched this Elf act oddly. One mintue claiming to be of a High postion. One that would ment great training in many marrners. Fighting, Socialness, cunningness, Mannerism. One that would of ment him knowing how to hold is own in situtions as well behind drink and herbs.... Yet What has been presented its self here so far was naught of these vaules. In fact the only time any of these vaules was present was at the very first speaking up from him in the Inn.
Yet there has been signs of them as if he had at least been around a Royal court from a distanst at least. I take the Herb being handed to me. Even though I had my own I thought best to take it from him since I didnt need him burning himself or my bear rugs Suddenly His hand that reaches for me I react in quickness to shove away !(edited)

Lady Sskadi — 06/21/2021
What the h*## are you doing! My eyes widen in totally anger! Both hands go upward in questioning him as he seems to just tary onward lost in telling some fantasy dream Flustered at the whole ordeal, I spit out at you Who do you think you are! I should of allowed them to find you. You have know idea who I am other than my Name. WE have NEVER been together nor would I ever been with a BLOOD ELF! I've granted ye time to exsplin, even a private meet here and all you can do is act like a fool! When time has ran out now. NOR does it seem to me that you hear my words of rush.
[3:05 PM]
I do not have time for this! NOR DO YE NOW Blood Elf!(edited)

Lady Sskadi —
Noting your body's being I nod toward it I will have your cloths to you and since youve YET to shown real harm I will allow you to be hostler til tonight and then after Queen Tyrande's Meeting I will set to have you to be taking out of here... As a curtesy only Elf this once! this had been the first time I had spoken of the Queen being here

I knew you were no threat, But angered me so because you seem to just not wish to tell me straight forth why you waiting on me in the Inn that day. I did not with to lose complete control so I turn around ans said! Elf I give the once more a quick chance here. who do you think I am? Really who am I to ye?


TheSirStrazzen —
The name of the Queen of the Night Elves causes Quiiemeer to shake & shudder violently for a brief moment or two before he collects his bearings and stands tall & proudly once more. He looks at Sskadi with a face that shows not only confusion & doubt for a moment it then Shows her sympathy, sorrow and sadness along with deep Pity for the woman before him.

As he drew himself to his full height once more he said in a disgusted & distasteful, yet sad & sorrow-filled voice , "No , i've been so very wrong & you correct. You Are Not the Lady Sskadi of the Draenei people, Queen of the Upper Arathi Highlands, Ally of the Wild Highland Dwarven Griffon-riding people. Though you wear her skin & carry her Scent you are nothing , Nothing like her, not--at--all !"

he looked down at himself noting his jewels & staff deflating fast from his anger & frustration , then the Nightshirt as he held his arms out wide making his body look like the shape of a 'T' , saying," I do hope you will dress me or let me get into what I brought with me before I, we meet the Queen of the Kaldorei , yes ? I do hope so since I have a lot , Quite A Lot to tell her Majesty about The Scourge, The Sin'Dorei - Quel'Dorei, the debacle at Quel'Danas & the disaster at--at~~~", Sighing so heavily that she thought he might pass out he said so very softly, "The SunWell. Then also the equally great disaster at ~~~", He steeled himself with great effort as he then spoke the lone word with equal reverence & emotion , saying, "Teldrassil .".

TheSirStrazzen —
"You may Judge me to be like every other stiff leg, Hobnail Boot Stepping Blood Elf , but I~~~am~--not---THEM ! Judge me for My Actions not the actions of every other of my Sisters & Brothers of Blood . You may find out very, Very Quickly that I'm not them , nothing like them. Just as you are nothing like the Lady of Azure Light , my Sapphire Lady of Blue and every other Draenei I've ever met , and I've met quite a lot over in Pandaria , Northrend , & The Broken Isles. I even call a few , 'Friend", though I'm guessing you do not know much about the definition of that word ? ?".

His Amber eyes were flaring as Quiie had his, "Hackles" up now being upset for being accused of being like most other Blood Elves, or worse a "High Elf". He glared at the Woman who wore the Skin of his Vision Lover-Friend- Ally & More , but who was nothing like what She was. He was not only frustrated & angry at being stripped of everything and dressed worse than a Peasant, he also felt betrayed by the fact that he was being Prejudged without any proof of what he was accused of. He stood there nearly naked, his male bits & bob hanging out for her & the God's to see. While not being a "Shy Man, he had been taught by his mother about, "Protocol of Nobility", which he still tried to follow as best as he could

Lady Sskadi —
I watch his face change with the mention of My Queen. The Real Queen of these people and this land. He suddenly stands forth and tall and I realize that HE had just realized that the being he called Queen. Me... was naught the Queen he thought was Queen. And for a brief moment my heart knew hurt again. Then when he spoke to me. His tone his hate My head rose to fullness, and my sadness become a frown for I knew who I was. I would except his hate til...... til his words become sorrow filled pity at me! Then I raged! I grab your tunic at your neck line and hear it rip! I push you against the wall. YOUR hands go to my shoulders to hold me back a bit! My Amber eyes fill with tears and unsurnace toward you... and they shown watery question of why you had to go there....To Pity! I hold you against the wall as you hold my shoulders to hold me some distant back off you but I continue to say! YOU DO NOT PITIY ME BLOOD ELF! NOT the like of you.... I then glare at you as you speak out at me, and I hear you speak onward about being so wrong about me. That I'm nothing like The Lady Sskadi!

Lady Sskadi —
My chest rises and falls hard in a heated manner. My hands grip the ripped fabric of your tunic as I shake a bit as I listen to you speak onward and forth right at me. Then you let my shoulders go and hold out to a T and ask for clothing! I grip tighter the cloth hearing you want to speak to the Queen now and I yell out at you YOU WILL NAUGHT DISRUPT OUR QUEEN! I grip the cloth so tight and in one shuffle of a movement in a ungraceful manner pull you to the table and push you into a chair and with a raised voice... I point at you. BUT you interrupt my words as You begin to speak: "You may Judge me...end with I do not know the definition of a Friend....

My hand shook as I pointed at you earing your words and I took a deep breath as I begin my own words at you

I asked you Elf many time your business. You would naught engage... I then have asked the how ye know me. You did not engage... I've then asked ye to tell me how ye know me. Again.... and ye did naught engage but only to begin to speak tall tales of a dream.... LET ME TELL YOU WHO IAM....

Let me tell you again how I know we have naught a past.... Let me tell ye from the beginning...

Of my Draenei History
A Place called Ammen Vale became a new start for my historical people.My ancestors Struggling to survive after the spaceship crash-lands on this unknown world, They find themselves facing the same threat that drove them from our previous home in the first place. Driven from home world of Argus, fled for eons before finding a remote planet to settle on. At first They shared a place with the shamanistic orcs and named it Draenor. In time the Legion corrupted the orcs, who waged war and nearly exterminated the peaceful Draenei. A lucky few fled, where they now sought allies in their battles.
We Draenei, originally from Outland, but recently forced to flee in the ship The Exodar. YOUR PEOPLE ... the Blood Elfs sabotage the Ship, causing it to crash. The survivor had crash-landing The Exodar on place called Azurmyst. We help to rescue other survivors, but also help to repair the damage to the creatures and the land, which seems to have become corrupted by the crystals from the ship. We help discover and eliminate many groups of Blood Elfs that followed here to seek our extinguishment. But with the survivors from the crash. We stuck together in this foreign world. Though Some have returned to Outland, but others, stayed to make good on a promises of "a New Beginning!
Prophet Velen believed that a war which will be fought on Azeroth, is approaching. We needed to make sure our people are ready.
That said, with The Exodar recently crashed, immediately jumped back in time already to the beginning so it seemed.
This all happened shortly after the Blood Elfs seized control of the Naaru spaceship, Tempest Keep, on Outland. The Exodar was a wing of that spaceship that Prophet Velen and other Draenei used to escape Outland. But thank to your people the Blood Elf sabotage, The Exodar and its damaged caused it crashed.

My family my people and the survivors had crash-landing The Exodar on place called Azurmyst. We help to rescue other survivors, but also help to repair the damage to the creatures and the land, which seems to have become corrupted by the crystals from the ship. You family Followed here to seek our extinguishment. ANd we fought them. We stuck together in this foreign world. Though Some have returned to Outland, but others, stayed to make good on a promises of "a New Beginning!

From Azure Watch then Onward to Bloodmyst Isle then Alternatively where it was establish to be able to take a boat to leave the islands, sailing to Rut'theran Village and from there to Darkshore or Stormwind City. Now We protect Our Lands, Our Exodar and all within our new alliance realm, Kalimdor! Having Placed Kings and Queens across its Barony's to Match all evil that wish to strike at us. And when called to fight evil elsewhere then To we will travel to uncertain journeys…
My Great Grand Parents was with the many that fled from our home lands long ago from the demonic corruption. Landing and now lending what came next of our family's generations. We now defend Azurmyst, BloodMyst as a Home. Battling For our new Allies "Kalimdor" and its good. We stand with the Queen Tyrande Whisperwind as she became a ally Against the evil attacks of the Old Queen Azshara and her demonic Nagas. As well as the Horde who both sit to the side of the Great Seas.

I slowly take another long drink as My hand go to my wrist and I rub and the to my shoulder n I rub and the point to my ankle and then say These Hurts...
Placed by the hands of another.
These Permeant Deep Scars to my right ankle, wrists, neck and shoulders. From the Devil himself...
See Elf when you've been torn to death of your soul you will worship the pain, just to feel your alive, because there's nothing left to do but raise a little hell!!!
Nothing comes free in this world nor beyond!
So when Ye may beg for merci and offer ye soul. Know nothing was surrendered for it was already owned..

My History is varies but
This Once beautiful Land still to the day is under skirmishes with both these foes. Though my people have taken on to establish as land as our own with many the many Night Elves who remain good in Loyal promise to Queen Tyrande, who has granted lands and herniary to our people over time. In such pride we have done Much over the years. The children of children continue this battle and Now even more Answer the calls to Azeroth to fight evil where ever it may be! . Taking and owning Lands and establishing Baronies there to defend and protect.
I am not the same as when I started my journey. I fallowed my line of duty of my female ancestors and when time came for me to fight and stand I did just as my parents and my grand pants and my Great grand parents had. I had taken on the area that was granted to me to protect and established my own family. And I did it well. I was tallish. 7'1 With only 125 lbs. to my stature I am muscles for my build. Hair of glow Midnight, now Silver. My once Crystal eyes took Holy Light and became Golden, which has even change to grayish Amber do to such hours upon a war front. My Once red darken lips now simple blush. Even my skin has a slight powder of ash to its once shine. I guess some wars are worst than others and lead harder changes even the best of us

Saddlery the latest to our home in Kalimdor came harsh due to The Burning of Teldrassil, otherwise known as the War of the Thorns. The Battle for Teldrassil bleed over to our lands we shared with the Night Elfs and rightly so since we are much Allies as brothers and sisters the Night Elfs. Who greatly attain Kalimdor. "Conflict emerges in Darkshore as the Horde and Alliance battle for control over Teldrassil!

Hordes Warcheif "Sylvanas", goal was to gain control of Darnassus The Night Elfs main City to regulate the flow of Azerite because she fears Anduin will use it to destroy the
Horde By killing Malfurion Stormrage, Sylvanas believes that it will scare the people of Darnassus into submission and to keep them from fighting back! So she sought to destroy everything of them and all their lands and all that Supported them.

Certain that the Alliance will use Darnassus as a safe harbor for funneling Azerite into the Eastern Kingdoms. And that King Anduin Wrynn will build powerful new weapons, and sooner or later he will turn them upon our homelands. First he will strike at the Undercity and Silvermoon, then his gaze will fall upon Orgmar. For the sake of the Horde's future, we must be the first to act. She felt By occupying Darnassus, it would control the flow of Azerite and ensure it cannot be used against them. The Alliance will dare not attack its own city for fear of harming civilians.
"The kaldorei will defy unless she breaks their sprits. And must inflict a blow that will show them what is at stake.

Sylvanas gave orders to invade Darnassus. I am told, one of the major, Delaryn Summermoon, argued with her, imploring her to spare the innocent civilians and remember what she once fought for. With those words, Sylvanas flew into a fit of rage, screaming at Her right hand man, Nathanos to set Teldrassil alight. Teldrassil was Set Ablaze and with it One of the Most greatest war was started...
The War of the Thorns has also left a permanent mark on Kalimdor, which the Night Elfs Darnassian and Draenei, Gilneans and others might never recover from. Since this War the towns and Darkshore covered in ash and despair, you can see the once full of life tree Teldrassil engulfed in flames.

Stormwind Harbor became occupied with Darnassian and Draenei and Gilnean survivors who became homeless as a result of Horde's assault on Darnassus, Kalimdor and Teldrassil.
The War of the Thorns has left a permanent mark on Darkshore and much of the area. MY homes destroyed of the War. My family Killed. AND much of the land now suffered still attacks from Horde. From the town of Darkshore covered in ash and despair, you can see the once full of life tree Teldrassil engulfed in flames. And I had lost so much here. SO VERY MUCH

I take another drink and say But see I know ye know most of this... LET me tell ye of me....

The Vinacar Portal
As I stood in the Vinacar Portal I look out and up the stairs at King Anduin Wrynn- High Exarch Turalyon and Captain Fareeya. They talk amongst themselves working on the next movements. I was heading to the next ordered business. A personal One this time! I reach over and touch the newly gained marks to my flesh. They somewhat covered the old... My deep dark thick lashes blink over new visions of gold. My body glowed with new granted power and yet... deep inside I was still at war with something old. My hand move to the thick leather collar folder over n tucked in my belt. You see...

Haven't always been who ye see. Many Winters I've seen come and gone.

And quickly in these lands. In this world. One learns nothing comes free in this world nor beyond! So when Ye may beg for merci and offer ye soul. Know nothing was surrendered for it was already owned..

Yes I had some unfinished business. But let me start at the real beginning .

The beginning
What's in a Name? Well for mine, a deep family history long before the time of our Draenei brothers and sisters, sought the ole ways. Ways of Mythology Forefathers. Though our time was with our Draenei life, My great grand parents sowed their life's and ours as the ole way. So I, and my brothers were called by their names. Mine, Skadi. The Jotunn and Goddess of bow, hunting, skiing, winter and mountains, and shadow. Daughter of Thjazi, wife of Njord, step mother of Freyr and Freyja was sometimes called Little One by the father. I am Connection to the frozen wilderness.

At times far from home, as most were now days with the Many wars one right after another on us, I would close my eyes for a brief moment and seek peace inside. Seeing the home I grew up in. Something long since gone .

Far from home for what seemed longer than time since my family taken by one arm or another of this war. I would push aside the need to remember home. Though my lands could never leave me. For my home and lands Passed down from parent to the next for some time had been granted from the Queen Tyrande, herself and with those lands, We held the title Duke and Duchess over Northren Kalimdor. My responsible was to my family, to our promises and to the Queen. My most loved homes, though we had many throughout the lands, were in Darkshore, Ashenvale, Wintersprings and My Childs laugh at The smell of fresh plowed fields, or the clean sea air or hearing the winds rustle through crops and fresh born mounts bellowing in the stable. Our winters. In Wintersprings for winter sports. Newly glazed sparkled ground powered white with a early morning snow as the trees twinkled with long crystals. AND cherished when I got to travel to the Eastern Kingdom to Arathi Highlands when Daddy had to go do business for trade.

That was a most fav home of mine. I craved these days gone by. And with time we grew up and now most these days sought battle to kill the pain of losses. And at times we even found ourselves not as birth siblings but war brothers..

The Blood War
I stood and turn to see him. His Axe and my Husbands clank out in a death dance. My heart dropped as the scene suddenly ended with another foe splitting the backside as he face the fight before him. I screamed out as my arrow sings by the Giant's head hitting the being in the face! He dropped hard with a clank. My bow raised quickly again to release now upon the Giant. One single moment he looked at me daring me. He towered me as I would look at him. Macular, Determined face. His look upon me changed from hate of his foe to different. He drop his weapon just a bit and stared at me. His lips mouthed words un heard to battle around us. He said; Beautiful! And For that one sec I held to late and looked at his face. In that one deflecting sec of a mistake my Arrow flew by him mere misses him, slightly leaving a thin cut to his cheek, but a miss never the less! He blinked and laughed and point out at me with his axe! Looking at me he yelled, we'll meet again Milady and he was gone. Now I stood as my Husband, Once King of this Barony and daughter and Parent's long ship was push out to the Sea, lit on fire with so many others. The sounds of crying and wales and bellowing hurt of grief heeded this early frost morn as a thick veil of fog seem to know it was here to claim the offerings being pushed out to her. I did not even flinch as the flaming arrows flew threw the air to the marked landings setting the waters on fire! I swallow hard once as I grip the Medellin that now hung around my neck that mark me now as Duchess and no longer a Queen. I had loss Darkshore.

The Second Battle
Topping a Hill we knelt down as the battle raged around us. We waited for the sound to stand and fire our Arrows and let lose! My hands trembled at the string ready to pull. Hot Tried sweaty. The battle had started to wear on. The Horn finally! Standing quickly to form and begin the Air assault, I quickly blink in startle-meant as I am met with a faced to face armored foe!

Ripping his helm off! He stared at me. His lips mouthed then yelled the word! MINE!
I looked at his face! It was him!
His chase across the lands to seek me had only added to his burn. Kindle to his flames. The hunt of his desired prey. To capture what he sought to own and see to make me his own..
Quickly I looked across the battle as his forces took over the scene. Confusion and battle rage hinder most to unremembered senses. And soon many had to seek to escaped or be killed or were being dragged as poisoner away. I looked back at him to close to pull my string, so I hit out with my bow bladed edge instead at him! The joust between us seem to last for hours and yet could not of been such length. His axe only seeking to chip away at my Bow as I continued to lash out at him. Yes some blows landed and he bled red as the blade on my bow edge sliced. Now I knew he too could died! But the his axe was also slicing away at my bow. And with a few punches from him I to bled from the hits to my face from my busted lips and slit cheek. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain to the back of my head then nothing.

His men that held my arms in front of him stank with death and blood. He looked upon me and smiled and said. Finally My Queen. I spat at him. His Men quickly jerked at me and forced me to kneel before him.
I looked up at him with hate. He only smiled as he wipe away my spit from his face. He rips from his Clothes a piece, reaches over and wipes the blood from my face that ran from my head.

He speaks. Now milady is that anyway to treat you Sire. He held up his hands wavering them out over the site and goes. Look at this place. It is beautiful and is ready for us to bond. I spat out the words: Is that a way to say hello again with splitting my skull!

He Laughed and kneeled in front of me and whispered, "I am sorry for that. He reaches over again to wipe at my face and head again, I winch away from pain and his touch! He says, Ye will love me back soon enough. Ye will kneel to me. I glared at him! Never!

The Forbidden
He smiled as he placed the Collar around my neck.
His Collar etching into my flesh, His chains cut into my ankle, Chained to a wall. It heaviness marred my flesh. The metal cut deep. Daily he would come and ask. Kneel. Id spit unfoolable words at him and he'd laugh and turn and leave.
That Collar, he got use to pulling on, and I ached from if. I begin to feel being chained to that wall seemed eternal. Weeks even. He was relentless in his visits to try to convince.
The Collars heaviness marred my flesh. My ankle bind cut deep. I was tired of this game. And I could tell he grew such as well.

Then finally, one night. I look up from my darken cell to his yelling at his guards in a dunking state. He spit his words at them to get! The bars few open. My chains rattled as I stood up quickly! Holding my hand out at him Demanding to stop! I would yell NO!
He whisper, I must...

As I feel his teeth bare into my neck flesh as he seek to take what he had chased for so long.
Bloody flesh rips bleeding down my shoulder upon his words.
"No one but me!"

I stopped long enough to empty the bottle and suddenly I throw it hard into the fire shattering it! I quickly grab another and Point it at you continue my words

His rape hungrily endless! His words echoing forever in my head. I would be his forever, he'd breath heavy upon my marred flesh.
"Love me he'd asked" as I felt his teeth bare into my flesh! Bloody sweat sliding down my shoulder upon his words.

Many nights of his return, He Say, kneel! Id say, Never. And he take me again.
His patients was growing thinner. I knew I was on barrowed timed. His pleading gestors had move to more demanding to a quick slapping or rough push against the wall, or binding with every rape, fallowed with a regretful apology for striking me, But not before leaving He'd stop and say.
"No one but me!" Til Death Only ME!"

I pull the cork and take a drink and I walk to the heath and look into the spitting flames say

Then one wee hour I watched the moon peeked though the tiny cell window. Then I hear my name whispered, as I stood to see beings of bodies of glowing gold open the cell door and hush me as the shackle link pried lose from the wall. Moving from my jailed room Id look down at the dead guards through the halls as I was being, lead to freedom. A single chain link ring rattled as we moved quickly. I garbed it to hush its sound. And made my last step from his ground I turned and thought: I was sure I see him again.

The Light
Once, A daughter, Sister, A farmer. A friend. Wife, Mother.
Once That was taken from me I knew only the end. Til Upon my ever last breath.

Unfinished Business
So Many moon passed and one day Im Exiting the Portal, I stop pull from my waist pouch a smaller pouch. Opening it I pull out a rolling paper, bit of herb, roll it tight and light it up, quietly putting back the smaller pouch. "puff, Sigh, clear throat, puff puff, blowing out slowly then I call forth my mount and soon Id stood on top of that Mountain and as I clutch that collar, I stood before the alter there and pull the Collar from my belt. Clutching it tightly! I remembered it all. Walking out to the edge I looked out over the great waters. Clam, Beautiful, Peaceful almost. I whisper, soon. I knew I was sure id see him again someday soon.
Placing the roll between my lips, I say out loud. "In his words."Til Death only him! Now is my turn to do the skull splitting!!!

As a Soul Soldier. You Either die a Hero or live long enough to see yourself become the Villan!
Now See I fights for myself! NOW Lightforge! I Sskadi Many things, Know to all, Shall seek
Sire Baal Phaoton of The Rose Sephiroth of Sammael...
And that One day I will kill him....

I do so look for him for some time
and After the Hunt. But was called back so I returned to my Barony. With my family all gone to the after life I found myself in their place. It was almost unreal standing in the binding circle as I sit upon a thrown wearing the Medallion and Circlet. My inner voice screamed. I have business elsewhere.

For Now
I accepted a Kingdom to defend. Whether I liked it or not now I am here. To the unknown my future. And time can go so slow when ye are waiting to know. So I've found a hidden place or two. I retreat to ever so often and I seek info on his runabout. I have trusted one who does my bidding in this search for me. Yes She is Horde. But is a Merch and a good pouch of Gold will buy me her services. So I have not for gotten. BUT I had to live up to a family name. I did lead and defend our lands. And play Duchess. And even Help with my troops defend Azeroth when asked to come.

The unthinkable.
A third War reached the kingdom again. Just when we thought we could relax on our our shores. It was a Hard War. Hard battles. Why was it here in a quiet land again. Now no longer. It seemed endless. Our death toll begin to add. The battle lead by The Hordes Warchief Syvanna! We fought hard. In the end, my part of lands burned. Homes smoked. Death was the new. My people cried. I had let my Lands down. Was I a failure? I needed away. I had to get away. When the people looked at me I saw their questions. Their disappointment. Their hurt. I Left my Ambassador to head my counsel. And my Knights to see to the protection. I gave orders to start rebuilding. Work with the Capitol Exodar! Buried your dead. Make peace with grievances and begin to live again. I had to reestablish a trade routes quickly since most now had been destroyed. I knew of one I might be able to secure. They watch as I mount and turn and leave.

The Ride
I tried to quieted my heart and soul of such hurt again. I question was I not a good leader. I fell into a state of feeling I did not deserve life, only knew that my time wasn't ready and my call wasn't yet. But why. Why was I still alive. My answer always the same. And I still had business with him! BUT Now I had two to hate! I nudged my mount to hurry to my dentation, To a secure a trade route. Arathi Highlands!


The Promise
I vow Two vows before my time
To your QUEEN...THE Banshee Queen. I am coming for her head.
Then I'm coming after Sire Baal Phaoton of The Rose Sephiroth of Sammael...

Now it Time for revenge
And Courage Is My Mastery over Fear!


So tell me again Blood Elf... With the History of Horde... with the History of the Blood Elf's, With the History of your Dark Lady your Queen... why and how I would have a past with ye..
I take a quick drink again and then roughly sit the bottle down hard right in front of you on the table. I peer downward at you almost again in a dare.

Suddenly theres a knock on my door that's fallowed with a man of arms voice. Milady Sskadi, All your sisters have arrived. And housed welled. Will ye be having dinner us My Duchess? And what of the Package?

Sskadi [3:28 PM]
I bark out, glaring at you to try to speak! Seek to their entertainment. As well as the Package... Tell them we will be attending both before the Queen speech.. and The Guard Dinner. AND Will ye... BRING ME THE BLOOD ELFS COTHES!~~~

TheSirStrazzen —
From the seat he had been forced into he shook his head sadly. He then said ever so softly to no one "I'm sorry Duchess , but you Still hate me though I've done nothing worthy of your hate. Quiiemeer , 'Bring me Quiiemeer' s clothing', is what you would say had you Any care for me or my feelings , but I'm of the opinion still and until you show me different that you hate me for what others have done to you , to your people & home. I know what it is like to lose ~ my home , my family , and even my life's purpose ; to protect those who are not or can not Protect themselves.

He then picked up the bottle to look at it, then swiftly tilts it back and drinks it. He keeps drinking it down till it is empty setting it back down on the table softly as he gazed up at her, his eyes Still looking at her with a look of Admiration, honor & desire. For all the hate & dislike she has shown him , he has not lost the feeling of knowing how, "Adorable", she is & how much "Desire", she fills his heart and soul with even after all the hate and disdain that she shows him over & over again..

"You asked me what you are to me ? In another time , place you simply are "Everything", my everything to me. My life, my Love, my reason for living & loving . When I lost , when I lo~~~" , he breaks down for a few moments as he recalls his children & wife . The Family he lost to those trying to hurt him - not them. When he pulls himself together he Says softly still," I'm sorry , for troubling you with my sorrows , the suffering I've felt a while ago. I know you don't truly care so I won't trouble you any longer. You've been put through many lifetimes worth of suffering and pain, but so too I've suffered more than a few lifetimes of pain & suffering as well." .

He then goes very quiet , a Sullen look on his once animated face. His features now of A young man grown far too old , too soon . He simply gazes At her hooves keeping his head tilted low as he thinks about things.

He then speaks in a near whisper saying to no one, as he says "Years ago, after the loss of my wife and children I began to See , receive Visions & Dreams of you , or her ? A Duchess So rare and beautiful , a woman of lovely deep sapphire skin, azure blue eyes, hooves & horns that spoke of strength & heartiness . I figured The Light , or maybe The Redeemed Sun Well was working through me ? Or just perhaps was just wanting me to move on and focus on something else beside feeling sorrow or just feeling Sorry for myself." .

He keeps talking in a very soft & quiet voice. "When I first met--, saw you I did not know what to think ? Here was a woman of Nobility , strength & solitude. A Duchess of a soft & sweet voice , Adorable and so very , very beautiful. Yet here was "The Enemy" , At least according to most within the walls of the Capital city. But I never believed you to be our , My Enemy. And you , she showed me Such caring , kindness and most of all - you show me Love like I had never known before. you truly did , and it helped , helped me so very, very much. And to this day I am in your Debt for saving me , My Soul".

He paused for a few moments then slowly rose to his feet once more. Standing there in a torn & ripped, Ill-fitting night shirt he finished the job tearing it along the seam that it was first ripped upon then letting it fall to the floor as he said
"I do not know if your intent was to undress me but figured I'd go ahead and finish the job. Now , I Love You , her , well both of you until I can split you two ? Sever you & her & sort things out ? I don't know but I do know the Draenei woman that I love more than life itself is a Noble Lady worthy of Following to Hel-- , well Argus and back over & over again till the battle won & the job done.". He then looked over to make sure the fire was still going well and then just looked at her nodding to her ever so slightly as he went to a knee bowing his head just barely. He truly did not know what else to do ?


Lady Sskadi
Looking at you I bark firmly without yelling YOU question my words to call you Blood Elf. YOU are Blood Elf and your people has plagued hell upon mine for eons! WHY or better yet HOW would or could I seek anything other to you than BLOOD ELF! YOU are BLOOD ELF! YOU ARE HORDE! I take a deep breath inward and collect myself

You speak of knowing.... You know nothing of me.! I watch you then pick up the bottle. Then suddenly have to swallow the newly formed knot in my throat from the look you gave me... One of Admiration

I turn away as I ask? What is this other time your speak of? This place you say: you simply are "Everything", my everything to me. My life, my Love, my reason for living & loving . WHAT is this time you valiantly keep saying there was?

I turn ever so slightly looking back over my shoulder, with downward casted eyes at you. And calmly say tis naught that I don't care Blood Elf... she pauses milord Quiiemeer.... Just... Just I feel your vision was your Gods pushing your forth from the grief... I KNOW too what it is to have to be pushed past such grief! I turn to face you saying. When you saw me. Your vision, from your Gods, This may have been of something more. That I am only a quince dent. Though I do believe your God wishes you to move forth in love. I stood quietly as your ripped cloth cry's out with you finishing her tear. As you speak of service, then kneel. I sigh as I close my eyes saying You can naught love me Blood Elf Quiiemeer... For I am naught of love. I then lift your chin up to me to peer into your eyes saying BUT I know of one who is what ye seek. ONE of a crown so worthy. One of a Queens fleet. ONE who is so brave and yet has too been grievance to such heart ache she hurt with ever breath. Even against her own that done such graveness against her, as such as thee have been done...!
I know One so beautiful that not even I dare to seek her heart for she deserves greatness and trueness... I know one.... Turning your chin lose I turn to the table picking up the bottle and finish it off, sitting it done and whisper I know one....

She risk much all for love....
