Thread: The High Elf of the Horde and the Draenei [Himeko x Dreadpaw]

Today was the last day of summer, which made the High Elf a bit sad. Sighing to himself he figured he'd enjoy the lake one last time before fall would hit and then winter where everything froze. See Dath'Remar Sunsorrow wasn't like the rest of his people, he didn't join the Alliance with the remaining High Elves, instead he had chosen to stay close to his family who had followed Kal'Thas Sunstrider, his uncle who had found a way to curve their appetite for arcane magic by feeding off of fel magic. A foolish choice for his family, but yet he wouldn't turn his back on them. Instead he sat back in the dark and watched as they became converted into what they were known now as Blood Elves. His two younger siblings Mio and Himeko were always off doing their own thing nowadays. After the fall of their uncle they knew that they had to re-find their original paths and find a new hope. Dath didn't have that lust for magic anymore, he instead had turned to nature where he had originally stayed with. He was a druid, which wasn't rare, but the Night Elves had mainly taken that route. The Night Elves were High Elves but in a different form, like the Blood Elves, but different. As he stared at the lake, completely lost in thought he felt the warm breeze hit his hands and face as he then shook it off. He would always stay to protect his family and even though High Elves were not really supposed to be within the Horde ranks, he was the only exception. He liked Thrall and enjoyed serving him, to him he was like another father. One who didn't abandon not only his people, but the other races who followed him. A true leader. Him and Thrall had spent many long weeks together just talking about one another as they both learned a lot. What hatred he had once bore for the Orcs was almost completely gone for he saw how Thrall was and that he wasn't like Blackhand who had once been the original leader of the Dark Horde, and the others before Thrall. Thrall was different, kind and caring, not like the other barbaric Orcs before him. Which this is why Dath admired him and begged to join the Horde so he could watch over his family. Thrall didn't care that he was a High Elf, what he cared about was making sure that one of the families under his watchful eye would be safe, knowing that Dath would protect them and other members of the Horde. Too many wars had passed and most of his family had been killed off. His family thought he was dead because of Arthas, but he had managed to get away in time by transforming into a bird and flew away. He had been watching in the shadows for far too long, wanting to tell his family that he was safe, but too afraid to do so. One day he would find the courage to do so, but that day wasn't today sadly. He had stared at the lake for far too long as he had been lost in deep thought and then slowly started removing his gear so he could get a nice swim in before the last day of summer ended. When he removed his hood his long white hair fell out as the wind caught it, causing it to float gently. His goatee was was also white like the rest of his hair, his body was nice and tone from all of the training and working out he had done. He was a druid so he either spent most of his time in his lynx form hunting or in his bear form defending himself. He left his boxers on as he jumped into the water and normally he'd change into his aquatic form, but today he wanted to enjoy the water in his normal form. He didn't know he was being watched but right at that moment he didn't care. For all he knew it could be the other animals around him. This water feels so great... It's sad that today is the last day of summer... He said as he swam around in the water as he took a smiled softly before diving in deeply. His normal lunges couldn't allow him to breath under water, but he could hold his breath a lot longer than most. He swam to the bottom of the lake as he enjoyed the scenery down there before having to come back up for air. When he came back up he shook his head and laughed heartily to himself as he enjoyed this last beautiful day of summer. After about an hour of playing in the water he slowly got himself out as he shifted into his lynx form to shake himself off dry. He then changed back into his elven form as he gathered his leather clothing and put half of it back on, leaving his top and hood off so that he was only half naked. He put the rest of his gear into his small magical pouch which was located right next to one of his daggers as he made his way to his favorite spot near the lake and laid down. He let out a long drawn sigh as he laid on his back and stared at the sky. He didn't even realize he had drifted off to sleep. But he was so calm and so relaxed that it didn't mater at that point. Nor did it mater that he was still being watched. He was comfortable and needed a nice nap after that swim in the lake.
