The Children of Southshore are Totally a Threat!
Hullo, peoples! I’m a little sad today, and that’s sad, and me being sad about sad things is really sad. So as you can see there’s a rather sad circle of sadosity going around here… And that’s sad!
You see, a ways back, I followed my best friend Varenna into meeting these really neat folks known as The Order of the Rose. They’re led by the totally tubular Chelody Smallwing, as well as other such radical personalities like Shaila Viridiant! It wasn’t too long after that I became one myself!
And since then, it’s just been celebrity Raya everywhere! From orphan assistance to shutting down the horde kissing booth at the Rose Ball (with my totally awesome lips, my lips, my lips!), I’ve just been living life to the fullest – and neglecting my writing, which was a no-no that I’m fixing as I righteously write right now!
But yeah, less about my knocking people out with kisses and more about the Rosies. See, they’ve always been this really benevolent, fight for the right and aid the weak type organization who is chartered under the Stormwind banner, but still assisted all in need, including those of the Horde who truly needed it. Kind of a humanitarian aid thing and all, ya know? It’s so neat…
But then like, at the turn of the year, the Hillsbrad farmlands got the worst Winter’s Veil wake-up ever. The Forsaken came! The Royal Apothecary Society, and Silvanus, they murdered everyone; turning innocent men, women, AND CHILDREN ASDAFGTRGRMGRKLGMMRRRGLRGLRGLRGL!!! into goop, or even worse, using the dreaded Val’kyr to create new forsaken members! And no, that is not valid reproduction, you tiny-minded trogladytes, that’s murder and enslavement, and you’re going down for it!
Ahem… But like, we almost lost our dearest Chelody to this attack, as her ex-jerkface helped her move into the home they were buying there before he decided to totally screw her over for some kaldorei chick whose shorter than me – which left Chel living there on her own with her children, one of whom was nearly lost in the attack even.
So like, set aside himself with either grief, guilt, or probably both, Tiran Shard, one of the other Rose leads, and a known soldier of the Guildwatch, decided to declare the Rose no longer held back by the law that Horde towns are not to be attacked by Rose members; only defense allowed.
Naturally, a good amount of us Rosies got goosebumps, and a couple even quit, though thankfully we got one of them back. This did not make a happy situation – and even despite the happy news of us regaining our Chelody; who revised his adjustments to just making Forsaken settlements allowed targets, some Rosies just weren’t happy with it.
Like, we have this really neat inventor chick named Maevriel on the roster, and she’s really nice and not living in the closet anymore… Hey no, I mean, the closet, like, the actual closet in the Dawn Building! Yeesh, I wasn’t calling her a lesbian or anything. Everyone already knows that if you’re an Azerothian female, you love boobs by default. No need to say it!
Oh yeah, the story! So anyways, like, her mother is a Forsaken lady and all, or was… Or still is, but like, works as a diplomat or something, I dunno too much. But regardless, it makes Mae really sad that we’re allowed to beat up Forsakens now, because hey you know, her mom could be targeted by her own friends one day, and that would suck, like totally, totally suck!
I hate this war. It’s not good for anything, and it’s only hurting all of the mortal races – especially when we have a two-hundred ton plate-armored fire-breathing aspect of death that severely hates cupcakes just flying around and randomly popping achievements on unsuspecting newbie adventurer heads! (so much for kayfabe!)
But noooo, some human twenty five years ago porked this orc dude’s wife, and some troll used this kaldorei kid as a kebab a few centuries back, so we can’t put things aside to like, you know, SAVE OUR WORLD!
Like, how sad do you think the draenei must feel? They didn’t have a choice in their home world’s destruction, and now they’ve joined up with a world that can’t get it’s warmongering priorities straight? Hey, guys, Nefarian called, and he said, “SYKE!” (your mamma rides a mini-bike, your daddy looks like Dick Van-Dyke!) Because while we’re in a deadlock over some valley on the outskirts of Alterac, there’s a darker evil than we’ve ever faced encroaching on all our other territory.
Good job, world leaders, good job. No wonder Baby Thrall thinks you all suck.
But, man, did I ever get sidetracked… Anyways, The Order of the Rose is sad now, because our own compromises on how to handle the war at home and beyond, while still remaining the benevolent organization they’ve always been seems to be driving rifts between people, and it’s not pretty.
I’m confident, personally, that all will turn out well in the end, but it’s still sad to see, because the folks in the Rose are all mature, and rather amazing. I personally support the new change myself, because the Forsaken responsible just can’t be allowed to get away with what they did.
I remember in my travels when I was miss Genise’s apprentice, seeing this little boy and girl playing on the docks at Southshore… They were holding hands, and singing, and life was great. I was jealous for a moment in my re-living state, knowing that those two would grow up together, be married, and raise an absolutely beautiful family…
The Forsaken made sure that we’ll never see that happen. Good job, Silvanus, you sure showed little Timmy and Pamela how much of a threat they were!
Sigh… It’ll be okay, but for now, I’m a sad Raya. I should find a cuddly man to keep me warm for the night… Any of you readers cuddly men by any chance?!
Ta!
