Yud

I really don't understand why they would disallow MS. HS makes sense, it's an aggro generator but the only aggro generation from MS comes from the damage and there's no way that damage can compete against a tank who knows what he's doing. Course there are still those who think sunder doesn't generate aggro after 5 have been applied. Hehe. As I said that night man, sorry I had to bail on you but it was getting late, my guild needed me for a BRD run, and I saw no hope of getting the run going anytime soon. Deffinatly let me know when you want to run another one. I'll be there with bells on.

Is this going to happen? I checked the signup sheet and don't see a lot of peeps. I r sad....

Oh hey now...would you need an extra warriors? BOOYAH! Took me a bit to remember my password but you got yourself a meat shield!

I sincerely appologize for signing up for the Ony raid then not showing up. About 8:15 server time my mother called me with a family emergency. And major congrats on takeing that little dragy down! Long live da crusha's!

Hey everyone! Yeah, Ony can be a pain in phase 3, don't really have any advice but just wanted to say that more than likely you're going to have an extra cow on board. *Grin evilly* I'll just pretend she's a really big sheep. Muwhahahaha The only thing that would keep me from going is they're still trying to figure out what night our MC round 1 night will be. Right now it's up between wednesday and thursday. If I don't hear anyting by Monday I'm signing on to smack a dragon ######.

The whetstone ran along the edge of the blade of the dagger for about the thousandth time, Richardson’s eyes having not moved from the door of the small tavern he found himself in. Gadgetzan was a busy place. Acting as the only town for people to stop for supplies. That equaled great profit for storeowners. It also meant a lot of tourists. On this particular day there were two that caught the rogues attention. Just as he was putting the dagger away a couple walked in. Humans. The way they held each other it was obvious they were mated, coupled...whatever the hell humans do. Richardson's eyes moved with them though they would have never noticed. The glow that was left in his long dead sockets continued to point to the door even as they took their seat. Young. Merchants at best. Already Kyle could feel the hunger starting to raise within him...the hunger he was always more than happy to feed. About an hour passed. The couple talked, ate a meal, flirted. Kyle just kept himself occupied. What should he be in a rush for? Another hour drifted by, the couple dipping more heavily into the assorted drinks the inn had to offer. Soon they were heavily making out at their table. Kyle began to worry they'd just settle down here for the night for a night of drunken sex but was near giddy when he saw them pay their tab and head out. He waited till they were out of sight before following them, stealthing as he exited. The night air was already cooling. The couple didn't seem to mind though as they made their way to the backs of one of the buildings. Again he just watched. Soon the man was shirtless with hands running all over the woman's body, she pressed up against the building. Kyle could not have wished for a better setup. He could almost see the outline of the man's kidney through his flesh. Just as the women began to undo her partner’s pants, he figured he had waited long enough... Richardson unstealthed directly behind the man, soulless eyes staring at the women, who upon noticing him chocked down a scream. The man asked her something in their tongue but didn't get to finish, a dagger burying itself to the hilt in his back. He tried desperately to scream against the pain but to no avail. A few quick jabs and he was on the ground, already breathing shallow as his life drained out upon the sand. Kyle stood there a few moment, just watching him before his gaze once more went to the women. She was frozen with fear and Kyle couldn't help but feast upon that. He moved to her, his face a mere breathes width from her own. He lifted the dagger to one side, grinning as her eyes followed. "All of you will pay for what you did to me...all of you..." The dagger was brought to her face, the blood of her companion wiped on her face, her body wincing in disgust. Once his blade was clean he sheathed it, turning and walking away from the women. She began to scream, most likely for the guards for mere moments the goblins came bounding around the corner but only found her, face covered with blood, holding her husband and weeping, Richardson already back home in the shadows.

The bull smiled as he read the letter, his attention turning to Maube as she spoke. A soft laugh passed his lips as he ruffled her hair a little. "Worry not little Maube. Yud has much happiness now. I just felt it was time to share my past with others. You and Volonazra shall both see that in the end...I smile." A soft kiss placed on Maube's hair as the bull started work on the next chapter.

The young tauren laughed as his mother gave chase, pretending to not be able to keep up as they played together out on the plain. From afar the father watched, takeing a moments rest from his days works to enjoy the sight of the two most preciouse things the earth mother had given him. The sun shone brightly this day. The winds were calm, moving just enough to feel like fingers running through ones hair. In the blink of an eye storm clouds rolled in. The wind became angry, strong enough now that the young tauren had to balance himself. The sound of thunder began to roll in from just over the hill to the south of their home...yet there was no lightning. Frightened, the child ran for the house. Even one so young knew things were not right. Humans...nearly 15 of them on horseback and wearing the armor of the knights came chargeing at the home. The sound of the warning horn echoed throughout the plains, his father calling for help from the nearby village. His mother stood her ground, the aura of her shamanistic magic growing as the spell she was casting came to a conclusion. A bolt of lighting shot from her hands, hitting one of the men square in the chest before chaining out to a couple others. All three fell from their mounts, two dead and one recovering. His father gave a roar as he came up beside his mate, leaping at another of the warriors as his form changed too that of shape of a bear. The look of surprise on the man's face was momentary for shape claws began tearing into it's flesh. The two tauren fought as one, downing at least 10 of the men through magic and muscle. But the magic ceased to flow...the muscle too tired to continue. The remaining knights closed around the couple and the young tauren watched as his parents were repeatedly punctured by sword and spear. One of the men turned, looking to the child, his intentions clear in his eyes. Tears ran down the young taurens face, his only peace was in knowing he would soon be with loved ones again. Yudhisthir sat straight up in bed, his breath comeing in gulps as the dream fell away from him once again as it had done so many times. He let himself fall back, forceing down the fear. So many times that day had played out in his mind. Time and again the men came, slaughtering his parents for no other reason than they were different. If the people from the village hadn't gotten there when they did he would be with them now. Slowly he climbed out from under the covers. A couple hours before day break but he knew he would get no more sleep. Stepping out from the tent the smell of nature was all around him. The cool morning air blowing over his frame as the earthmother tried to give him peace. Quietly he thanked her for her effort but that peace was not to be his. He went to the same place he always did when the dream cameback, the nearby well. With his back against the edge of the well and the village behind him he looked out over the plains. Striders were already out, getting their first meal of the day. Even though choas raged inside him nature always seemed to have a calm too it. A storm could come through, destory a birds nest, and the bird never seemed angry about it. They just started building again. His head shook with a sigh. How he envied those birds. The other tauren was heard long before he felt the hand on his shoulder. A touch of a grin came to his lips as the female sat next to him. When his parents had died, her's took him in as their own. They made sure to teach him about the ways of his people. Of their past...of their suffering. Yamuna and he had already been playmates so the transition into the new family was made easier by the bonds they all shared. They were both still young, early teens by human years with Yamuna being a year older. As so many friendships do theirs grew into much more. Many days were spent just holding eachother and talking. The other children would make fun of them. Not really to be mean but just being kids. They would laugh with them, knowing that the happiness they gave eachother was worth the little ridicule. She had mentioned marriage a couple times, always in ways that sounded like innocent ideas but Yudhisthir knew she wanted to be wed. He just...wasn't ready. "I wish you'd come and get me when you have those nightmares, Yudhisthir. I feel like you're trying to hide when you come out here alone." Yamuna layed her head on his shoulder. Her arms wrapping around his and rubbing softly as her eyes closed. "You know better than that." he said softly, head turning to nuzzle her. "Aye, I do. It's just, you always seem so distant after those dreams. And it's days before you come back around. And since they've been comeing to you more often I fear I'm loseing a part of of you." The bull turned himself some so his other hand could lift her chin, her eyes opening as he did to gaze back into his orbs. "It haunts me, Yamuna. Even when I'm calm on the outside my heart calls to the earthmother for a reason...an explanation of why it happened. All she ever tells me is that men are foolish. That brings me no peace." Yamuna's hand went to his chest, palm pressed flat to feel his heart beat. It brought a smile to his features. "I love you, Yamuna. You have every bit of me that I can give. But when the parts of me that I don't understand rear up inside...it doesn't mean you are loseing a part of me. Just that I have more to learn about myself." She moved upward, her lips pressing into his, he returning the affection as his arms pulled her close. He knew in time he could devote himself entirely to her. For now though, he was torn. They parted some, gazeing at eachother before a sigh passed from her, her head finding his chest, seeking comfort. The sun had just started to rise over the distance mountains. They should get to work on their daily chores but neither one of them moved. They were happy. Why be in a rush to get away from that?
