A Letter to Amadare..

[Upae]

Dear Amadare;

I understand why we could not catch up on new last night. Duty calls. But it was good to hear your voice over the 'stone, even if it was short.

Yes, I too am more a huntress at heart than a healer. I like the animal forms, I even like to sleep in bear when I can. Master Dentrite warns that if I am not careful, I might someday forget that I am Kaldorei and stay in animal form. He says it has happened in the past to some. Although he also says that the forms come so easily to me that he thinks I am wild in spirit anyway. Thats why he gave me the name "Wildchild", that and because he found me living like a wild thing in the woods..

I am almost ready to train for cat form. Only a few more tasks to finish and I will be off to Moonglade to see Dentrite again. Maybe even tonight.

I don't know what you mean about "feeling the pull". I'm not very good with boys or men. I think I am misunderstanding a lot of stuff. Like last night for instance. I was in the park in Stormwind talking with the druids when I realized I had not eaten. I was hungry and thirsty. I went to an inn just next to the park Moonwell. I was there once before with a kind dwarf I met my first day in Stormwind, Tooren was his name.

Anyway Tooren wasn't there, but a tall Kaldorei man was. He took my order, then we talked. Soon two more men came in, both Kaldorei, one was young, not much more than a boy and just fresh from Teldrassil. A human man shortly followed.

The young Kaldorei man was in shabby leather armour. Really bad. Now I must tell you I have been learning leathercraft and feel I am quite good. I had some pieces on me to show him, so that he would see that I could make him some decent armour if he wanted.

I took off my Moonglow vest I was wearing to put on my Black Dragon Whelp armour. Well, after I took off the top, I heard some mugs drop at the bar. I looked up to see all the men were staring at me with open mouths. Well, they weren't staring straight at me, more like they were staring down at my two girls.

I stood there for a while not really understanding what they were all about. I soon got the idea that maybe they never saw a girl with her top off before. So I asked them " Do these look strange to you?"

The man I first met answered," Er.. ahh.. no. They are...spectacular.."

I don't know what that means..

Anyway, I put on my Black Dragon Whelp top, showed it off, then asked if they wanted to see my Murloc scale top. They all seemed really interested to see it and nodded happily. A few even cheered!

So I took off the black top and rummaged through my pack for the murloc scale top.. They clapped at that, I'm not sure why. Haven't they seen a backpack before?

I really don't understand men. I had lots of free drinks after that though, so I know that they certainly like leatherworkers...

Anyway, hope to see you soon. As a cat!

Your friend Upae..

Dear Upae,

Oh my! Sweety, you are supposed to keep those covered unless you mean to mate. I think… This is a subject I don’t know much about myself. But my mother always made wear my clothes around people. She used to tell me that proper ladies keep their bodies to their husband only. Though, I would think that a boyfriend would be the same before you got married. But then again, I have no clue… Boy do I want a boyfriend soon. I take my clothes off any chance I get, when I am not around people, to restrictive, and confining.

The pull I spoke of is the urge to mate. To have a Male enter you, and quench the heat from your down below. Just writing about it has got me going again. I will have to go take a cold bath in the river when I am done here. Has no one spoke to you about this? Mating I mean. I only know what I have been told, I haven’t experienced even having a boyfriend, let alone had sex.

On a different subject, Master Dentrite is correct. I mentioned my mother earlier, she was one of such druids who lost their self. She was a person who stayed in her forms too long, and one day she shifted into her bear form and left us. We haven’t seen her since. Though he never said it, I think my father’s last hunt, was to find her. I miss him.

Maybe I can ask my brother if he knows of a lady that can help you and I with some proper training on well… being a lady. Elune knows we could use it. My mother left when I was very young, and my father Bless his spirit, he was not a good mother.

Hope to hear from you soon,
Amadare

Dear Amadare;

Mating? Are you sure? I see many women around the villages feeding their infants with them. Not so much in the city. I thought that is what they are for. I never figured they had any other purpose. What do we do with them?

Never mind. I think I am just embarassing myself with my questions. I don't know if I would recognize what a mating urge is. I have had strange feelings at times, like an inner heat just below my abdomen. Mostly after talking with a few people I have met, like Barke or Alucian. But what that was I can't say. I thought is was just bad boar ribs.

So much is a fog to me. I seem to know many things that I cannot recall ever learning from someone, yet so much more is a mystery to me. Simple things, like when not to take my top off. I fear I will never learn to be fully "normal". Maybe thats why I enjoy the animal forms so much. It is so much simpler that way.

Until next time. Elune be with you sister..

Upae..

P.S. I never knew that about your mother and father. I am sorry and hope you will find them someday.

Dear Upae,

You know Lord Barke? I have heard only stories of him. Some good, others… not so good. But if a man is giving you this feeling, then it probably is what I am talking about. I think they call it oresal, no arousal that’s the word. It is like a heat, with a wetness from your… well you know. As for your “girls” as you called them, Well… I had mine touched by a boy once. It was nice, I do it a lot recently… Ehem, but they are also used for feeding young.

Your past is still not coming to you? Odd, we might have to get you to a nice calm Moonwell and pray to Elune to help clear the fog. Or maybe at least some answers. We will get to the bottom of it, but only if you want to. As for the simpler life, I think we all would prefer to just stay in our animal form, but then we would miss out on things like conversation and probably love. And as far as I am concerned you are normal. Well as normal as you need to be. We just have to teach you some of the finer things about edicot, er edicitte… manners. Though I could stand to learn some as well I have never been a person of city life. I prefer the wild also.

Take care Sister Upae,
Amadare

Oh and don’t ever be embarrassed to ask me questions, I am the only one who reads my letters.

Dearest Amadare;

Well, I did it again last night! The guild I have become a member of, The Swordwaltzers, held a get together in the Blue Recluse Inn in Stormwind.

All the ladies were dressing up for the occasion when I realized that all I own is my leather adventuring gear. Mistress Kurohane was kind enough to loan me one of her numerous dresses. A simple, but pretty white dress. She handed it to me just outside the Inn, where we women were gathering. I was half naked and squeezing into the gown before I realized what I was doing! Right there in front of everyone! I was so flustered by it all that I forgot to take off my combat boots, belt and gloves. Mistress Kurohane had to point that out to me, that they didn't "match".

Mistress was kind enough not to scold me outright, but I could tell she was a little shocked. It occurred to me that she might be a good one to ask about .. what was that word you used? Etikett? She is a real lady with many nice things.. and the men seem to look up to her. She must be good, if she can charm that brooding, grumpy consort of hers, Xelthan.

Yes, I know Lord Barke. Well, I don't call him "lord" , just Barke. He is a very nice man, even if he seems a little sad for some reason a lot.. My heart always goes out to him when I see him like that. I don't know why, but I just find myself wishing I could make it all go away.

I met his consort last night as well, the Lady Llucia Va'Lore. You might have heard of her in Moonglade. She is a very skilled druid. I am glad to have met her and hope that she can pass on some of her vast knowledge to me, if I ask politely. She seems to be a quiet one, but friendly. But then most druid I have met seem to be quiet, aren't we?

I have to say though, when I first met her I had a strange feeling for a second inside. Almost like.. a tightness in the pit of my stomach. It was especially strong when I saw the pendant she was wearing. It is Barke's family pendant, which I found lying the the grass in Moonglade a while ago. I should tell you that story sometime.. Anyway, it passed almost as quickly as it came. Strange..

Now the big news. I have passed the test! I was given the right to train in cat form! Yay me! It is a wonderful feeling to be able to feel the strength and grace that comes with that form. I just feel light as a feather when I prowl as a cat. I never imagined it could be so wonderful.

That's all I have for now. Be well Amadare.

Your friend, Upae.

Dear Upae,
Good morning sweety. I’m sorry to hear about your evening, but did you at least have fun? I have never been to an “event.” Though I don’t think I would do well in one. I get nervous around crowds. And I have a hard time keeping to my two legs when I get nervous. I would hate to ruin my dress. It fits nice and tight, but I am afraid that the bear in me would come out and rip my pretty dress. I’m sure you looked beautiful. I would have loved to be there if only to watch.

You said the name Kurohane? Seems I have heard it before… Oh I remember my Brother, Laron said he spent some time talking with her. She is a Huntress right? He said she was very well mannered for being a hunter. Perhaps the Mistress can help us? Did you talk to her about our situation?

You also talked of Barke… I had heard he was involved with a Human, and… don’t be shocked, but I think he had a thing for a Troll… I can’t fault a Night Elf for enjoying the company of a Human. I mean my own Brother seems to like them a lot. So much as to take one as his wife… I didn’t like her very much. She had no spirit and was content to stay home in her cozy house. But his new lady… now she is something to see, full of spirit and fire. I think her name is Najme? I can tell you that story some other time. A Troll on the other hand… I haven’t met any, but I heard that they deal in dark un-natural powers and demonic rituals. But it was probably just a rumor about Barke, so only take that at face value.

I have heard of Lady Llucia Va'Lore, but never had the pleasure of meeting her. Do you think she caused your discomfort? I wouldn’t think she would bare you any ill feelings. Maybe the pendant is cursed? I wouldn’t think a Family Pendant would carry a curse, but you never know.

Well congratulations on attaining your cat form. I am finally learning to control mine. The grace and the speed… As comfortable as my bear form is, I like my cat form much more. You will have to try this the next time you take your form. Find some wood and rake your front claws over it. Oh it feels so good. Almost like a scratching an itch that has bothered you all day. Oh and you and I will have to go out some time, so I can teach you the are of stalking your prey. And show you just how good meat tastes in that form… mmm warm meat…

Anyways, I hope to hear from you and maybe Mistress Kurohane? I have so many questions for her.

Your druid sister and friend,
Amadare

(( O_O

This should be intresting... >_> ))

(( *Snickers* Have fun Kuro. ^_^ ))

((Kuro's Academy for Wayward Girls :P ))

[Upae]

(( I wouldn't worry too much Kuro. It won't be nearly as bad as what Teelia had to go through with Nouri. No scaly leather feet to exfoliate, no grime and livestock to wash out, no trogg wraps to burn, etc..

Think of it as a slumber party opportunity.. :wink: your idea.. ))

[Kurohane]

(( *bonks Barkbark and Burnie-poo*

Something like that, yes, Upae. But probably a bit more like a girl's etiquette school. Ever seen one? I had to go to one when I was little. I hope you two know what you're getting yourselves into. XD ))

[Laron]

I am not afraid. :P

[Upae]

I am not afraid. :P

(( I am... 8O ))

((You should be. Kuro runs a tough school and will take any chance she gets to box your ears. >D ))

Dearest Amadare;

I got drunk a few nights ago. Well, drunk is probably not the right word. Is there a word for beyond drunk?

I was just returning from a training mission to Ironforge, where I paid a nice, but crass dwarf weapons master to teach me how to use those large 2 handed maces I see some folk carrying around. I found a nice one the other day in a chest being guarded by orcs out east in Red Ridge and wanted to learn how to wield it without bashing my own brains in.

Strange, but the lessons came extremely easy to me. The feel of a large handled weapon in my hands was almost comforting, as if I had experience using those. Master Dentrite never had me trained in such, so where is this feeling coming from? I wish I knew..

Anyway, I left there pleased with my new skills and proceeded to go practice on some gnolls in Elwynn. You should have seen the mess I made of their ugly little skulls!

Afterwards I went to that tavern in Old Town, I forget the name of it now. I ordered mead, which I have to say I'm getting a taste for, ever since Tooren the dwarf introduced me to it.

The place was full with some large clan holding their own celebration of some sort. They were pretty drunk, and a few of the men came over to me to make small talk. They bought me some more mead, and more, and more.. Things started getting hazy pretty soon after that.

Last thing I remember was playing some sort of target shooting game with these daggers one of the guys had with him and a circle drawn on the wooden wall.

Next thing I know I woke up in a bed in the Gilded Rose, with the sun already high in the sky and my head pounding as if I had been practicing with my new mace on myself! Also there was a taste in my mouth like some murloc had relieved himself inside it during the night.

I'm not entirely sure how I got there, but I have some cloudy memory of a face, I think it was Barke. I hope I didn't embarass myself. At least all my stuff seemed to be untouched.

Luckily as a druid I could relieve most of the effects, but that taste took some effort to get rid of. I think I had to brush with the cleaning sticks several times before I felt fresh again.

I swear I will never, ever drink mead again.. never.. really. Never.

Until next time.

Your Friend,

Upae.

[Fallacy]

((Sort of reminds me of one of my character's (Anthek) sister, who would often go around wearing little. Both she and her brother do that, Anthek rarely is seen outside of battle without a shirt on. Not because they don't know, but because they don't care about being "decent", they care more for comfort, as they don't like getting their fur all matted.))

[Laron]

Sister Upae,

So you have a battle with the dreaded alcohol monster. =o) Your head wounds will heal in time. Though I love the mead, it seems like a waste of perfectly good honey. Oh how I love honey! Though I have to eat it on two legs, I made the mistake of eating some in bear form, and took me half the day to clean myself.

As for your new found joy. Hehe I also have grown fond of the feel and weight of a heavy two handed hammer. I like the striking power of them. It also reassures people that I am not a dainty girl. I can knock a tree down with my bare hands, and take down a Kodo on my own. I like the looks I get carrying a large two handed hammer.

I recently traveled through the jungle which the people traveling there called Ganklethorn. But the road signs said Stranglethorn. Oh by the way I saw Mistress Kurohane in the cursed forest of Duskwood. She was on patrol from the looks of it, so I didn’t keep her from her duties. Though I desperately wanted to talk to her about teaching us a thing or two about being “Ladies”.

Anyway, I traveled through the jungle, very dangerous place, to the Bay called Bootie. Though I didn’t see any shoes as the name suggests? From there I boarded a large sailing ship. I am starting to get used to the sway of such large vessels, though I would prefer to swim than to ride a floating piece of wood any day.

The trip took many days travel, but I returned to out home continent, and proceeded to the Desert area, which the Horde call the Barrens. Though the name implies, it didn’t seem so. It was filled with lush trees and ponds. There I found what I was looking for. The Wailing Caves… I will write you again after my return.

Stay safe.
Your friend,
Amadare
