Dear Diary.My brother is such a pain. He's always off fighting far away, but he thinks he can still run my life. He's never even around. He doesn't know what it's like for Mom and me. He thinks he so powerful, but he can't seem to make time to take care of our mom. It must be so hard for her not having a husband around. I never knew our dad, so I guess it doesn't bother me that much. It's hard to miss what you never had I guess.
Dear Diary. Mom has been acting strange lately. I got caught by the garrison at Sentinel Hill for pickpocketing today, and when he brought me home, Mom just opened the door and sat down while the guard told her what I did. He said that if it wasn't for them having such respect for my father, they would have taken me to Stormwind and put me in the stockades. Lucky for me I guess. Still, not that I want to go to the stockades, the thought of going to Stormwind sounds fun. Khalis is never around to take me there, and mom just mopes around the house all day. As soon as I'm old enough, I'm going to move there. It's so boring here, I can barely stand it.
Dear Diary. Khalis hasn't been home for weeks now, and we haven't heard anything from him. Mom is so worried. I think it reminds her of when my dad went to war and didn't come back. Without the money we normally get from Khalis, I'm not sure how long we can make it. I want to go out and make some money for us, but Mom says that it's too dangerous, and that I shouldn't be stealing. I suppose I shouldn't be stealing, but I'm not going to starve, or let Mom starve if I can do anything about it.
Dear Diary. Khalis finally came home yesterday. He said he was in some castle where a powerful wizard used to live. He gave us some money, and said that maybe Westfall wasn't a good place for us to be. For once, I agree with him. He said that he was going to be spending a lot of time in a place called Outland. He said that it's on the other side of the Dark Portal. Whatever, as long as I can get out of here and go to Stormwind, that's all I care about. Mom doesn't like moving. She thinks that leaving here will be like leaving the memory of our father. Khalis told her that it's not like it was when he was alive here. They haven't been able to go to the beach since before I was born. He also said that he was worried about the Defias gang's influence on me. Whatever, what does he know. He's never around anyway.
Dear Diary. Today we moved to Stormwind. Khalis came home to help us move. Even though he is a big jerk, I did feel safer with him around when we were moving. Some wolves came to attack us when we crossed the bridge to Elwynn, and he just shot a shard of ice from out of nowhere and killed it on the spot. He says that Mom used to be able to do stuff like that. I can't even imagine that at all. Maybe she'll want to do magic again now that we're in Stormwind and she's away from all the stuff that reminds her of my dad. Khalis got us a flat in the Mage quarter above a shop owned by a tailor friend of his. I can't wait to go exploring the city. I hope the kids here are nice. I hope Mom is going to be OK.
Dear Diary. Stormwind is so huge and so busy. Mom took me to Cathedral Square to enroll me in school. It is strange there. I always learned stuff from Mom and Khalis when we were in Westfall. Most of the stuff they were talking about, I already knew, so I just kind of let my mind wander. I was too excited about the city anyway to concentrate. After class, I went to the Trade District. It was so overwhelming. There were so many people there, all running around back and forth between the bank, and the Auction House. There were Dwarfs there, and Elves, and Gnomes and Draenei. Khalis said that the Draenei are from outer space. I think he's making fun of me since I've never been anywhere. Mom said that she grew up in a Dwarven town, and that they were friendly, but I should keep my distance when they drink. I'm not sure what that was about, but even in the middle of the day, they seem to drink alot, so I stayed away. When I got back to our flat, Mom was still there. I guess she stayed there all day after she took me to school. Maybe tomorrow she'll go to see the Archmage in the tower like Khalis was hoping.
Dear Diary. I know it's been a while since I've written you. Everything is so crazy here. I was really bored at school because Mom already taught me all that stuff. The kids there make fun of be because of my accent, and because we are from Westfall. They think we are all farmers if we are from there. I skipped today and hung out at the Trade district. People there are so concentrated on what they are doing that they don't even notice someone like me. I got some money for Mom and me. I'm tired of waiting for Khalis to send money. I can take care of Mom and me just fine while he's off slaying dragons or whatever it is that he's always doing. I heard about some guy in the Old City that can help me earn some easy money. I'm going to see him tomorrow.
Dear Diary. I'm getting worried about Mom. The move to Stormwind doesn't seem to have made her feel any better. I think she has given up on magic altogether. I wish I could help, but I've never been able to do anything magical. I guess that didn't pass on to me like it did Khalis. It's a shame for Mom though. Khalis said that she actually studied at Dalaran when Jaina Proudmore was there. He said that she didn't know here because mom was a commoner, and Jaina only consorted with royalty like herself, and Arthas. Still, that must have been great being there with those people back then. I wonder why Mom gave up magic.
Dear Diary. The guy in Old City told me that I could make a profession out of stealing stuff. I doubt that Mom would approve, and Khalis would kill me if he found out, but I figure what they don't know won't hurt me, right? I've been making enough from purses in the Trade district to take care of me and Mom even if Khalis didn't send us any money. Mom hasn't been paying much attention, so she hasn't asked where the extra money comes from. I got a dagger of my own today. The guy in Old City said that it would be a good idea to carry one for protection. Being a girl in a city like Stormwind, it seemed like a good idea. He said that I should go to Northshire to practice using it on some of the animals they are trying to get rid of there. Whatever, I'll be fine.
Dear Diary. Mom is so mad at me. Today she found out that I've been cutting class. She told me that I can't leave our flat for a week. It wouldn't be so bad if Mom didn't just sit around all day moping. I told her that I cut class because she already taught me all the stuff they were teaching there. She said that I didn't have to go back because of that, but I was still being punished because I lied to her. I'm not too worried, I can just sneak out after she goes to sleep.
Dear Diary. Last night I got caught stealing in the Park. It was some rich guy too, I could tell by the robes he was wearing. It's not like he needed the money. So he threatens me, and the guards grab me when I pull out my dagger. He said he was going to kill me, and I'm the one that gets in trouble. So unfair. They told me that they are going to send me into the stockades. Mom was crying so much. She thinks that her little girl is going to get hurt in there. I'm tougher than she thinks, I'll be fine.
Dear Diary. So I didn't have to go to the Stockades. Khalis came to Stormwind, and made some sort of deal to get me off. He thinks he's such a big deal. I don't need his favors. He can go be big and famous somewhere else. I can take care of me and Mom just fine. He was really mad at me saying that he and his guild had to go fight the Horde because of me. I didn't ask for his help. He should be more worried about taking care of Mom instead of running all over the world acting like a big shot.
Dear Diary. I guess things didn't go well for that thing Khalis did for Flordraggon, or whatever his name is. Khalis sent Mom a message saying that he wouldn't be coming back to Stormwind again. Ever. He said that he's going to be living with the Draenei on their space ship. He keeps acting like these people are from outer space. I think it's because our father named him after some character from an outer space novel or series or something. Any way, the guards came and threw us out of our flat. They said it was because of Khalis. I knew he should have kept his big fat bald head out of our business. Now we are out on the streets because he had to be a jerk. I can barely make any money because the guards watch me like a hawk now. I'll figure something out. It's just me and Mom now. I have to be strong for her.
Dear Diary. It's been a while since we've been out on the street. I get what I can. I've been taking the tram to Ironforge. It's easier there for me because the guards there don't know me. I kind of stick out there because everyone there is so short. The Gnomes are weird too. They look like they have a lot of gold, but they are so short, I can't get to their purses without being obvious. Mom has been getting charity from the Cathedral Square, and I heard that she has been begging in the Trade district. Some nights I can't even find her, and I don't know where she sleeps if the shelter at the cathedral is full. Sometimes I'll sneak into someone else's flat so I can be warm at night.
Dear Diary. I haven't seem Mom in over a week. I've been asking around, and nobody has seen her. I'm getting really worried about her. I haven't heard from Khalis either. At night when I find some place to lay down, I wonder what it would be like if our father hadn't died in the war. Then we would still all be together and Mom would be happy.
Dear Diary. It's been a month now, and I still haven't heard from Mom. I got caught again stealing. This time in Ironforge. I managed to get away through the tram, but I heard that the guards are looking for me, so I can't go back there. It's getting harder to make any money with all these guards always watching me. I'm really worried about Mom. I wish things didn't get this messed up.
Dear Diary. Today, I went to Goldshire to get some money. I'm so hungry, and I can't find Mom. The guards are still watching me, but a guy there told me that I didn't have to steal to make money. He invited me to his room in the inn to explain. I didn't like the idea at first, but I have to eat. I wanted to just slit his throat and take his money. He looked really powerful, so I didn't want to take my chances. Now I wish I did, then at least one of us would be dead. Right now, I don't care which.
Dear Diary. Today some Gnome came up to me and said that Khalis sent him to get me. I told him to not worry about me, that he should go find my Mom and take care of her. He insisted that I go through a portal he made. It was strange, I have never been portaled before. When I got through I was in this strange pink crystal palace. Khalis was there and he gave me a big hug. He said he was sorry for abandoning us, and for what I was doing in Goldshire. I told him nothing happened there. I don't want him or Mom knowing what I did there. I just want to forget everything about that place. I asked him if Mom was here. He frowned and said no. I hit him and told him to go get her. He said that he was looking for her, but couldn't find her. He told me that I was going to stay here with him. I asked if this was his palace, and he laughed at me. He said it was the space ship he was talking about. He said that the Draenei invited him to live there with them, and that he liked it here. It is really pretty. Not at all like Stormwind. It's really quiet and clean.
Dear Diary. I'm living in Khalis' area. It's kind of like a flat, but there is no doors here. Khalis made me promise to not steal anything here. He said that these people are very trusting, but not very forgiving. He introduced to a Draenei friend of his named Khann. He's really tall. Khalis asked him to help me out when he's out looking for Mom, or doing what ever it is that he does. Khann is really religious, kind of like the way my mom described our father. He's really into the earth and spirits. He's even more bald than Khalis too. I think that's why Khalis likes him. Khalis also took my dagger, and made me a dress. I tease him about being a seamstress, but the dress in nice. I like it. I told Khalis that I wanted to earn my keep, and that I didn't want his charity any more. He said that he has a job for me so that I wouldn't have to steal any more. He sends me stuff to sell for him. Like food, or bags that he makes. Some of the stuff he sends I don't even know what they are supposed to be. He has me keep a hold of things for him too. He had me open a bank account so I could learn to manage my money and his. We'll see how it goes. I just want to know if Mom is ok.
Dear Diary. Still no word from Mom. Exodar is even more boring than Westfall. It really is pretty, and the people are really nice, but nothing goes on here. Almost nobody comes here other than the occasional wizard like Khalis. I couldn't get into trouble here if I wanted to. I think that Mom might like it here though. I hope Khalis finds her soon.
