Text of the page (random words):
the path that led to the farm and smiled i d been back home numerous times over the past several years but walking here i d not done that since i was a green apprentice in stormwind and it felt good to just walk for a change rather than rush from one point to the next like a cat chasing her tail the old elwynn road was clear once more with memories of defias lurking just out of view fading into the past as i traveled from goldshire i d seen merchants heading to and fro from lakeshire and darkshire heading toward goldshire and onwards to westfall like how things used to be spring planting was over and now the long lazy summer lay ahead just what i needed i stepped onto the path and let it carry me forward quickening my steps as i strode on only a few short moments later the trees parted and the house stood before me same as always well not exactly the same there were a few subtle changes over the years that if you knew what to look for they d practically shout that a mage lived here once use of the arcane becomes ingrained inside you mistress elsharin once told me you can t help but reach for it when something needs doing my work in hostile territory taught me how to suppress those urges but here well i walked up to the empty porch and as i placed my first foot on the steps the door opened a crack and a small someone popped his head out cardwyn lewys shouted it s aunt cardwyn my nephew shoved the door wide and bounced down the steps into my arms a small throng of children flew out the open door and swarmed around me nearly knocking me over i think i see where today s lesson is going mistress evelyn said as she slowly made her way out the door and over to an open chair welcome back card thank you mistress evelyn i replied with a smile at my old teacher she was just as determined as ever to show her independence but i could tell that navigating even this short distance was becoming a chore for her still i doubted she d ever do things differently mistress elsharin says hello i added and she intends to visit soon good good evelyn said as she sat down how are things up north they look the same as ever with one notable exception her breath caught did did you is he yes i nodded and closed my eyes dark nightmarish images from inside a twisted citadel lit by a sickly green glow filled my head shaking myself i reopened my eyes and the pictures fled kel thuzad is dead now he was already dead said a new voice from the door but is he destroyed even after all these years mom still had that intense look in her eyes whenever she needed to know something gray streaks now crisscrossed her dark hair the lines on her face etching deeper than i remembered yes mom i wasn t in charge of the phylactery but i trust that it was destroyed too you d better hope so card mom replied he has as many lives as a cat i noticed by now the children began chanting my name in an effort to get my attention cardwyn cardwyn cardwyn woah woah woah i put up my hands but that only encouraged them cardwyn cardwyn cardwyn i sighed and shrugged at mom who let a grin steal across her face she leaned over the children and gave me a hug welcome back card she whispered in my ear it s good to be back i replied but who is everybody there s no way these are all jas and karyn s cardwyn cardwyn mom whistled sharply and the shouts subsided okay she continued these days the children come to evelyn rather than she to them you know lewys and starlys wait i interrupted pointing at a youngster with dark hair you re starlys you were only this high when i saw you last car wyn car wyn my youngest niece replied jumping up and down she looks a lot like you at that age mom added with a twinkle in her eye oh boy if she is anything like me well my brother and his wife were likely in for an exciting time and you know rachelle and victor are robyn and james kids mom said this one is steve s these two are anya s and these two are krista s um wow i had no idea my oldest friends were all having children somehow this news hadn t reached me in letters from home i m glad to meet you all i added remembering my manners i used to play with your moms and dads when i was your age are you really a mage one of krista s kids a blonde boy asked really really you don t look it she is ashe lewys replied crossing his arms she s the bestest mage in the whole world i am not lewys i interrupted don t exaggerate yes you are rachelle piled on you re the hero of westfall i rolled my eyes not that again and you rescued marshal windsor so he could expose that evil dragon i suppose i did i sighed and you saved awbee lewys added i wasn t alone lewys i liked awbee is awbee going to visit sometime awbee is back with their mother lewys i replied but if i see awbee i ll make sure to ask of all the adventures i was involved with the one thing my nieces and nephew remembered the most was when i arrived from blackrock mountain with the gravely injured whelp keeping the young blue dragon here away from prying eyes in the mage quarter so they could heal properly and rejoin the blue flight in kalimdor that awbee was likely older than them never crossed their minds at all are you on a mission mom asked no i m not i m just i took a deep breath i wanted to come home for a while i walked here from stormwind rather than use quicker methods because well it felt good to be under the sunlight again mom nodded slowly her eyes probing mine rachelle she replied not taking her eyes off me go find your mother and your friends moms lewys can you go get your sister and the rest i think they d all like to see your aunt yes granmama lewys said come on rachelle i ll race you as their footfalls retreated into the distance mom turned to the rest we might as well take a break go ahead and play find the ghost the kids scattered and mistress evelyn sat forward in her chair cardwyn did you tell elsharin about kel thuzad mistress evelyn asked in a quiet voice yes how did she take it i swallowed she let out a long triumphant scream and then she began sobbing mom reached out and held me while i continued i d never seen her cry before mistress evelyn even when i was her apprentice and it wasn t anything gentle it started rough with a gut wrenching sob that bubbled up from deep inside and just built from there i the only thing i could do was hold her while she grieved it had to come out card she d been holding all of these emotions back ever since quel thalas fell i know mistress evelyn but i took another deep breath i eventually got her to bed and stayed by her bedside through the night holding her hand to make sure she knew i was still there i wanted her to come with me to walk outside under the sun but she said she had a few things to do first and then she d join me here i think we both need this mom dealing with the traitor kel thuzad there was just so much death there inside naxxramas so much death my voice trailed off as i surrendered to mom s embrace i understand card mom replied we ll make sure elsharin s bed is ready for her when she arrives would you mind if i slept in her room too i was just so worried for her and i didn t know what to do so i just want to keep an eye on her you did everything perfectly card why don t you ask elsharin what she wants first i suppose so someone attached herself to my leg are you sad car wyn starlys asked i reached down and picked her up a little bit i replied why because part of what i do is go into very scary places and make them not scary so that people like you grandpapa and grandmama and auntie evelyn can all be safe even carys even carys why do you ask cuz carys is a bossy poopiehead i stifled a guffaw at my niece s indignation well i can t help that kiddo but i do know that your big sister does love you hmmph starlys folded her arms and pouted anyway i continued after a while seeing all those scary places makes me sad because i wonder why they got so scary in the first place why because i don t think they started out scary but people made them that way why i don t know sweetie and that s what makes me sad otay let me give you hug and you feel better she leaned over wrapped her arms around my neck and planted a big kiss on my cheek as my niece ran off to join the rest i turned back to mom was i like that when i was little mom s mouth creased in a small mysterious smile do you need to ask i took in the view from the porch with children running to and fro and the wheat growing in the fields in the distance i could pick out dad and my brother jas coming in from the western field at the other end of the farm buildings a group of my old friends emerged from robyn and james home with rachelle tugging on her mom s hand to move faster a long time ago i felt that i intruded on the farm whenever i would visit but now i needed the farm more than they ever needed me i needed to feel again to appreciate life after my senses had worn down from that land of undeath i gave mom another hug it s good to be back home i replied posted by redbeard at 8 20 pm 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels fiction wow classic monday may 24 2021 share and share alike we re closing in on a week s worth of pre patch this is day 6 given that the actual pre patch took up the entire day but this is the first day i ve had to really get around to leveling briganaa to any extent tuesday was a wash obviously but wednesday i was swamped at work which ran late oh and wednesday was also the date for what became known as the flight point raid the flight point raid why yes i m glad you asked some of us milling about at the starting point in winterspring and that chimaera that just loves to wander over by the fp it was a raid put together by the guild to get all of the new draenei and the occasional other new toon the various flight points across azeroth from silithus to blasted lands from darnassus to azshara we were summoned from place to place by a core group of warlocks and their associated clickers card and az had a part to play too as i would fly port ahead on a toon and then help click the summoners across the continents to bring the rest of the warlocks over then i d switch back to briganaa and get her a summons as well the presence of the l60s came in handy in case any of the high level enemies aggroed on our raid we didn t need to kill anything but there was a curious chimaera in winterspring that gave me pause all in all there were about 15 20 new toons that benefited from this raid briganaa included but the lone drawback was that being summoned all over azeroth meant that i didn t get much of a chance to do any leveling on wednesday the event was originally slated for tuesday but we all know how tuesday turned out thursday and friday were spent getting my son from college and then raiding naxx friday night saturday was spent with the youngest mini red s high school graduation and then a blackwing lair ony run so i made it to sunday finally getting the chance to get on brig and level her for a couple of hours but i ve discovered that there s a bit of a monkey wrench in the leveling plans this computer is shared my wife and i share the desktop pc normally this isn t a big deal because i play wow late enough in the evening that her social media habit doesn t interfere with my gaming but if i m going to be boosting and aggressively leveling a new toon that means my gaming will begin to intersect with her pc usage and on sunday it did in lieu of ongoing negotiations about pc sharing for this pre patch and early tbc classic rollout i ve been exploring what options i have at one time we did have a 2012 laptop that was to be used by both the kids for school and my wife for when she wanted to look something up while she was watching tv listening to the radio or reading but that fell apart years ago literally as in the hinges ripping out of their spots and the case frame cracking and needing duct tape to hold together as of now the only other pc in the house that isn t one of the kids or is used for my work is an old 2007 core duo machine that runs 32 bit vista and let s be honest it s not much of a solution it struggled to run wow back in the day and once i replaced the graphics card it did run better but classic s minimum requirement is win 7 so unless i d be interested in replacing one obsolete os with another obsolete os that s a no go i d been thinking of building a pc of my own for a while but now when i finally have the motivation to do so and have the funding as well there s a certain semiconductor shortage to deal with so i m going to soldier on as best i can negotiate for the time that i can and just go from there i also had a plumbing emergency during the day where the water intake for the refrigerator began leaking and i very nearly missed graduation until i finally fixed it with less than a 1 2 hour to go before we had to leave the kids and i have gotten her a a tablet and b a decent smartphone for her to use for social media over the years and she simply will not use them she likes sitting in front of a keyboard and computer screen and that s that for a brief period of time we even had a family laptop and she absolutely hated it she likes what she likes and there s nothing i can do about that posted by redbeard at 3 57 pm 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels computers tbc classic wednesday may 19 2021 upon reaching the flip side i m not going to talk about the extended downtime that it took for the burning crusade classic and wow classic to become two separate entities because i m sure there will be plenty of posts on the matter i will say however that i really feel for the it personnel who had to work so freaking long to get the data integrity issues in the mail system sorted out i ve been there and i can sympathize but the servers are now live and the bc pre patch is up and running i logged in before work this morning and my first order of business was to migrate most of my toons to bc classic i m keeping one totally behind to clear up toon space and i cloned card back to the wow classic forever server and then it was time for toon creation raid be damned these two came first feels weird seeing q without quel delar always good to see neve again then i turned my attention to the draenei shaman i was to create i spent quite a bit of time tossing names around wanting to have something that sounded like a draenei but one that would fit her class as well as you can guess i already knew i wanted to create a female draenei because my draenei toons from my retail days largely represented by tomakan were all male toons and for some reason i tended to suck at having those toons succeed at jumping skills so i figured why not go with a female draenei the caboose is how a couple of friends described female draenei to me and the name kind of stuck anyway i spent some time kicking around names with a friend last night while we waited for the servers t...
