Warcraft is Magic

Change perspective Vinny

It had been a hour sense Azok flew off towards the orchard and I was bored so I decided to the the thing I knew the best I went hunting.  Sadly I had no idea where there was anywhere to hunt so I decided to ask around town,  I had been walking for a while when  I spotted a green unicorn sitting like well it wasn’t the way a normal pony should be sitting.  “Excuse me young miss, you wouldn’t happen to know where a forest or woods would be around here, would you?” I asked as politely as I could.

“Who said that?” she yelped as she looked around frantically.

“Down here toots.”

“Oh I'm sorry I didn’t see you down there...if you don’t mind my asking what exactly are you?” she asked inquisitively.

“I'm a goblin now about my questions-” But before I could finish I was cutoff.

“Whats a goblin?”

“Im a Goblin. God, shes almost as bad as the humans back home now about-” I was once again, cutoff by the unicorn.

“HUMANS!!!! Did you just say humans?  Do you know any humans? Please tell me please please!!!”

“LISTEN LADY!! I will tell you, but first you have to tell me where a forest is, and I swear to whatever god you worship, if you interrupt me one more time, I WILL SHOOT YOU IN YOUR GOD DAMN FACE.  Now, where was I? Oh yes, humans, they suck. They're a bunch of prissy little girls, who don’t know how to fight. End of story.  Now about that forest...?”  She pointed me to the west of town, and I was off. I was about half way down the street, when I noticed something weird. She was following me.

Location

As I approached the forest, I noticed that the unicorn was still following me. “You know I can see you back there, right? So i'll give ya some advice... STOP FOLLOWING ME!”

“No,” she replied with a grin “You know about humans, and I intend to get more information out of you."

“Ya good luck with that, well if your gonna follow me, what kinds animals are in this here forest?”

“Well there are hydras, timber wolves, phoenixes, and manticores.. Just to name a few.” She replied, seeming more scared with each animal named off.

“What's a manticore?” I asked.

“It is a huge beast with the body of a lion, a scorpion tail, and bat wings.” Her voice full of dread and terror..

“You mean like that thing?” I said while pointing at a giant lion like thing barreling out of the forest.

The next minute was a blur... Well, it was a blur for the unicorn. But for me, it was just another day hunting.  The manticore charged straight at me, and I dodged to the left. I fired two explosive shots into its side, blasting it off its feet.  It quickly regained its footing and charged me again it was a good ten yards away when I fired a Black Arrow[1] at its head the arrow entered its skull right between its eyes, killing it instantly (save fore a few twitches).  I looked around, trying to find the unicorn, but I couldn’t see her. “YOU CAN COME OUT NOW!! ITS DEAD!!” I yelled at the top of my lungs.

I saw her head pop out from a little hill to my right “What do you mean its dead?”

“I mean I shot it in the head with an arrow, I can be more specific but you might loose your lunch.” I retorted while dismissing my bow.  “Now what else should I expect... Hydras, should be easy to avoid, but what are timber wolves?”

“They are dog like things, made of wood” she said, still stareing at the body.

“Na, that doesn’t sound useful,” I half said to myself “Well looks like im going for the  phoenix.”

I looked over an the Unicorn was staring at the corpse with her mouth open “Yo toots close your  mouth, you catch flies.” When she didn’t respond I walked over and tapped her on the head “Hello you in there?”

“Ya im just a little shaken.. I've never seen a dead body,  and don’t call me toots my name is Lyra” she retorted.

I looked over my shoulder while heading off into the forest “You coming or what” I yelled back to her she replied by running up and falling inline behind me.  As we walked through the forest I could sense the animals moving around me but none of the attacked maybe the could smell the dead manticore on me.  We had been walking for a very uneventful hour the entire time I had been bombarded with questions about humans eventual I got bored answering her questions so I started making shit up.

Location

We arrived at a small hut in the middle of the forest, there were strange masks on the outside and a pungent aroma filled the air.  “Hey Lyra you know if anybody lives here?”

“Yes actually, a Zebra named Zecora. She makes weird potions and other things like that.” Lyra replied.

“Ahh, so she is an alchemist.  That’s good I could use some potions.”  I walked up to the door an knocked on it heard the sound of something moving towards the door.  The door opened revealing a average sized pony with black and white stripes and a Mohawk.  She started talking in rhymes. To tell the truth I had no idea what she was saying, so I got Lyra to interpret.

“Hello little green thing” Lyra said.

“Hello madam, I was wondering if I could purchase some potions from you.  Also any information on where I might find a phoenix would be appreciated.”

“She says that she will give you some potions, but you have to bring her some herbs which, as luck would have it, grow near where some phoenixes are.” Lyra said beaming.  “They live west of here in a small cave. It should take us about three hours to get there walking.”

By the time she had finished I was already waiting out side “You coming or what? Sense I don’t feel like walking for three hours I'm gonna try something,  you might want to stand back.”  I pulled out my spell book and opened it to the page where my mount spells are “Hmm lets see to big,  to small,  only one seat,  ha this one is perfect.”  I set my finger on the spell activating it (explination time,  The reason Azok can mount with out doing all this is because the sandstone drake is a transformation not a spell)  a little blue orb appeared floating above the book I grabbed it and threw it at the ground in front of me.  A giant circular rune appeared where the orb hit, and slowly a red and gold motorcycle rose from the ground.  Needless to say Lyra was once again freaking out.

“What is that thing where did I come from is it-” this time I cut her off. Sweet revenge.

“This thing is called a Mechano Hog[2] it is a mount it lets me move faster it is completely safe” I told her as I got on the bike “Now if you will slowly approach it from the right side, a seat will pop out so you can get in.”

“Are you sure its safe” Lyra asked as she slowly approached the bike.

“YES. NOW GET ON THE DAMN BIKE!” I yelled.

“Fine no need to get all huffy.”

“Im sorry its just been a hard day.”

The trip that was supposed to take three hours only took thirty minuets the entire time Lyra had her hooves above her head while yelling “WOOO! WOOO! YAAA!! FASTER FASTER!!”  When we arrived at the cave, I sensed something was off. There was some weird statues everywhere.  “AAAAA!!”

I heard a blood curdling scream coming from behind me, I spun around in time to see a chicken thing staring at Lyra but something was wrong Lyra was slowly being turned to stone.  I drew my bow and fired a single shot[3] at the monster. The arrow flew through the air hitting the chicken in the neck, instantly decapitating it.  Lyra fell over unconscious, but ok. The body of the chicken thing was still running around, so I fired an arcane shot at it, ceasing its movement.  The instant the body stopped moving the half of Lyra that was stone started to go back to normal.  I decided to let her rest, so I went back toward the cave in search of a phoenix. I was back at the entrance of the cave but this time there were no more statues, instead there were about ten full gown phoenixes.

The moment the birds saw me they all charged “WAIT” I yelled while setting down my bow “I come in peace.”  They all stopped charging me and the largest phoenix slowly walked up to me and slowly touched its forehead to mine (guessing he is there leader).  “I came here to look for a new friend but when I arrived my friend was attacked by a monster that wast turning her into stone I killed it saving her life.  Im assuming then when I killed the monster I also freed you all from your stone prisons.  I would be honored if one of you would accompany me on my journeys and become my new companion.” One of the smallest of the group flew up to the Chief and started chirping, the Chief let out a defiant squawk, but so did the little one,  Chief hung his head down and touched heads with the little one.  The littlest bird (which I will call Rave from now on) flew up to me and landed on my head “Dose this mean that you’re gonna be my new friend” Rave chirped in conformation

“Well then lets seal the deal.”  I picked him up off my head and set him on the ground then I put my hands on either side of his head and began to focus,  my palms began to glow gold and then there was a flash of light as my spell[4] took effect.

“Ohhh my head” Lyra moaned as she woke up “what happened.”

I quickly recounted everything that had happened from the time we left Zecoras hut up to when we returned to Zecoras hut.  By the time I had finished explaining I had already driving the Bike up to the bench where I had first met Lyra.  “So I guess this is goodbye I cant say I had an enjoyable day but I was definitely interesting.”

“O no, your not getting away from me that easily. You still haven’t told me all about humans, and I mean ALL about humans. So your stuck with me a little longer.”

“Fine, its your funeral.” I replied while walking away “G'night.”

I arrived back at the Library in time to see Azok land and change back to his normal Tauren form.  “Hay bud, how was your day”

“I don’t want to see another apple ever again..” he said while shuddering.

“Ya sure, good luck with that.”
