Dark Embrace

The wondrous bluffs
We were given: Two hands to hold. To legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one h'eart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find… 
‘Ah finally! How long haven’t we been walking Floyd?’ the black tauren looked at a pink Tallstrider. It had muscular legs because Tallstriders don’t fly. While walking the birds hairless neck swung around with at the end a head with a very sharp beak possibly to hunt a prey. But this Tallstrider was a strange one. There had been reports of various colors of these birds mostly in Outlands, but here in Mulgore they were brown. But Oroko had found this one all alone on the plains. He had found a beast extraordinary and caught it or did the bird caught him? Since that day they had together roamed Mulgore training on the path of the hunter. 
But now Oroko and Floyd had reached the beautiful Tauren Capital of Thunder Bluff. Oroko lived in Camp Bloodhoof but had never been in the capital. When seeing the large hills and tents he gasped: ‘Wow! It’s big… How in the name of the Earthmother are we going to get there?’ He looked at Floyd with a grin. ‘Maybe you should fly us Floyd?’ The Pink bird flapped his little wings in anger. Oroko laughed as they walked further down the road. He knew the strider didn’t take his jokes serious. Then he saw the giant lifts at the bottom of the hills, ‘Ah, no need for your flying skill now Floyd sorry! Maybe some other time?’ This time the Strider ran towards Oroko and pushed him down rolling of a hill side. Oroko ended up his bottom hard on the ground. ‘Auwtch! Next time don’t be so rough with me!’ He held his hand on his bottom and walked back up the hill sighing. ‘You better behave once we are in the big city…’
A wolf ran around the pond within Thunder bluff chasing a big cat. ‘When I get you Sothy! You will learn to bite in a tail!’ The wolf giggled as the Cheetah ran harder. ‘Come and get me then Chan!’ The two ran around for a while until the Cheetah stopped and the wolf bumped into her. They both lost their balance and fell into the cold pond. Suddenly instead of two animals there were two tauren female in the water. ‘Chan, next time hit the brakes will you?’ the other tauren giggled as they got out of the water. ‘Sorry sothy! But next time don’t bite my tail!’ They both sighed and sat down on the grass. ‘You are lucky it is such a sunny day or else I would let you feel my SHAMAN POWERS OF WRATH!’ and with a little poof a bit of lightning came out of nowhere. The white taureness laughed while looking at this little amount of shamanistic power. ‘You have much to learn Chanah.’ The brown spotted taureness quickly splashed some water in Sothrana’s face. ‘Why you little…’ Sothrana sighed, Chanah giggled.
Oroko walked away from the lift sighing. Floyd had been restless all the way up the bluffs and when they came at the top he ran away between the crowd of Taurens. ‘Damn bird..’ Oroko sighed but inside he was quit worried. Floyd was his best friend and he wanted nothing to happen to his pick comrade. ‘Floyd! Floyd! Come here boy!’ Oroko whistled but no reaction except for some Taurens eyeing him up and down. Oroko walked to the crowd, ‘Anyone seen a pink Strider?’ the taurens rolled with their eyes and walked away. Oroko looked at them and stuck his tongue out. ‘So this is Thunder Bluff? I better get back to Bloodhoof then!’ He kicked against a rock and sat down at a pond. At the other side sat 2 animals: a wolf and a cat. Oroko looked at them and looked confused, ‘A cat and dog next to each other? Strange..’ The cat looked at the black tauren and hissed. The wolf sighed: ‘Be nice Sothy…’ Oroko opened his eyes widely, did that wolf speak? ‘I am going insane…’ He muttered while getting up and walking away. The cat smiled while the tauren walked away. ‘What a dumb animal…’ Sothrana laughed while she said it. ‘Be nice sothrana! But you are right… he is dumb!’ Chanah giggled,
‘Watch this…’ Chanah ran to the black tauren barking and howling. Oroko looked over his shoulder and began to run for his life, ‘Bad dog! Bad dog!’ Chanah giggled: ‘Who you calling Dog?’ Oroko screamed and ran harder: ‘Bad talking dog! Bad talking dog!’ Chanah sighed and stopped chasing him. Oroko smiled, but when looking back in front of him, the cat sat there. ‘Trapped!’ Sothrana yelled with a smile. Oroko began to sweat ‘Let me through talking animals or… or I shall have to kill you!’ Oroko pulled his bow and a arrow pointing it at the cat. ‘Put that thing away tauren, you wouldn’t shoot a taureness now would you?’ Sothrana changed back to her normal self. Oroko gasped as the cat became a female. Behind him he heard a giggle, he looked back and saw the wolf too change in a female but this time it was different. When he saw this beautiful taureness his heart began to beat faster. He began to sweat harder and the whole world faded away for a moment leaving only her in his eyes. Chanah looked at the staring black bull and waved with her hand, ‘Hello? Are you alright?’ Oroko blinked, ‘My name is Oroko…’ Chanah giggled, ‘Pleased to meet you Oroko, I am Chanah Wolfsbane…’ Oroko smiled, ‘Chanah… W-What a wonderfull name…’ .
Sothrana sighed as a sign she wanted some attention too. Chanah looked amused at her best friend and smiled, ‘This is Sothrana, my best friend..’ Oroko quickly laid an eye on Sothrana but then focused back on this beautiful Taureness. ‘So you live here in Thunder Bluff?’ Chanah nodded, ‘Yes, I do if you can call it living…’ Oroko looked at Chanah with a look he didn’t completely understand. ‘Oh never mind…’ Chanah smiled at him. Oroko began to sweat harder. ‘And what brings you too Thunder Bluff? Never saw you before..’ Oroko quickly came back to reality, ‘I lost my pet… a Strider named…’ From behind Chanah came a Pink strider. ‘Floyd! There you are! Bad bird!’ The bird flapped his wings and ran too Oroko. Chanah looked at the pink bird, ‘Is it normal that they are… pink?’ Sothrana’s eyes widened, ‘No.. it is not normal…’ Oroko petted Floyd and then looked back at Chanah, ‘I found him on the plains and I thought he was special..’ Chanah giggled, ‘Special indeed..’ She changed back in her wolf form, and Sothrana changed back in her cat form. ‘Bye bye Oroko scary pants!’ Chanah looked at Sothrana, ‘Behave for once! Bye Oroko nice meeting you!’ Then the two walked away. Oroko waved and yelled: ‘Until next time Chanah Wolfsbane!’ He walked away together with Floyd. But there was only one thing in his mind: Chanah Wolfsbane.
