Tuesday (25 Sep) - The Wandering Isle

For Mother Mew, the Wandering Isle was both a return to her roots and a new beginning. As her spirit floated gently toward the Isle, she gazed with great fondness at the lovely little hamlet.





Nearing her destination, Mother Mew prepared herself and then slipped into a young trainee who had just arrived. The trainee was named Mewgoogaipan, and she had been carefully selected for this duty. The two were both separate and the same, now.

Mew arrived at the Shang Xi training grounds, was welcomed to Wandering Isle, and then took a few moments to look around.


All of the expected training facilities were present. Conspicuously missing, however, was a mailbox. I think I knew why, but just in case, I haf Jocey send a test email to Mew. The response was "Target has not selected a faction." As I suspected, not only could no one enter the training grounds unless they were a trainee, no mail could be delivered until the trainee chose their faction. That choice did not come until the end of their training. There would be no heirloom draped level 1s would be running around in this starting zone. Mew was just as proud of her new Initiate's gear, which she would add to over the course of several tasks.


She picked up a sword as her first weapon, hammered away at target dummies, dueled with npcs (ala death knights), and took on more challenging tasks easily accomplished with a little thought and a lot bursts from her magely fire bolt spell. As she was granted greater liberty to travel, she acquired a couple of children for a bit. They were quite taken with Mew, but were soon called back by their mother.


Mew decided to spend the rest of the evening with Old Man Liang, who lived not far from the pools. Mew now knew four spells and had made it to level 5.
