Being Horde is HARD

Being Horde is HARD

Wench thought that dealing with the Alliance enemy was hard enough. She has now learned that not only is the alliance determined to kill her, but the very fauna of forest and vale also attack her at every step, and just picking a flower can be deadly dangerous. She will not let Kul Tiras beat her, despite her fears. Twice now, she has been driven away from her immediate goal at the bridge, blood smearing her gear. Her blood.

Somewhere in the back of her mind, she must wonder where her Horde friends are. She could use the company. As well as someone to watch her back.

When Azeroth was Young

Wildshard has been around for a long time. A very long time. He was even married once. Really! She left him, though, taking the child away and never returning. Wild used to tease her and call her Wildswench, and there are days when Wild wondered if she left because of the nickname.

Wildshard will never know the answer. What he does know is that the daughter of that sad marriage grew into a young woman and went to find her father. And found him. And adopted the name of Wildswench for herself, though she sometimes shortens it to just Wench. As for the mother, Wench is silent. And some nights Wild weeps.

Given the unfolding history, a happy reunion was not in the cards. Wildshard has hopes, though, and tries to keep track of his young daughter. To date they have not met in person, and it seems that is not likely to happen any time soon.

In fact, getting the two together may be impossible. Wildshard is aligned with the Alliance Faction. Wildswench rejected Wildshard's Alliance and chose to join the Horde.

Wild's worst fear will be the day his daughter greets him on the battlefield.

The Arathi Highlands

Wench was introduced to the Arathi Highlands for the first time, and she admitted that it was an awesome sight. This is the part of the world when it was young. This is the time when Azeroth was the only world. And it came with a treat. Wench mounted her Blue Wind Rider and nearly fell off when she realized that SHE COULD FLY! Yes, in the Highlands, she can fly.

Wench is still young, and gets to see what the world was before it became so complicated. She immediately leaped into the sky to explore. She practically broke into giggles when she saw the ancient herbs that dotted the terrain. Yes, Wench is an Herbalist. Back at Zandalar herb farming maxes out at 150. In the Highlands she could farm up to 300, and she gleefully spent time finding them. Bruiseweed, Kingsblood, Wild steelbloom, Goldthorn, Khadgar's whiskers, and others. She was a child at play.

There was also business to conduct. Stromholm is the fortress that both the Horde and the Alliance lay claim to. Wildshard has seen the horrific fighting and bloody carnage. When the time comes, Wench will take her place among the Horde against the Alliance. Wildshard, given his oath to the Alliance, will be an opponent. This is the battle that has waged since the dawn of the two factions.

Wildshard felt a sadness come over him. He did not let it linger, though. Somewhere along the line the two will test each other, veteran and youngster, father and daughter.
