After the battle, Sinafay found herself teleported back to the great dwarven city of Iron Forge, where she had been when she left to join the battle at warsong gultch. She gave the dwarven battlemaster her three tokens, and he advanced her to season forty, Feeling very proud of herself, she jumped off the battle platform en route to her trainer, when she ran smack into Glass.
"Congratulations," he said, beaming at what he viewed to be his creation.
"Thanks!" Sinafay replied, beaming right back at him.
"Well this means you are now seasoned enough to ride your Nightsaber!" he smiled, "Question is did you save enough money for it?"
"I have one already,"
Glass blinked, "Already? How?"
"A friend I met long ago bought it for me, I merely have to go see the instructor to learn to ride it."
"Ah, well you best head to Darnassus then," Glass smiled, "Meet me in Stormwind in a few hours, there is someone I would like you to meet."
"Ok then!" Sinafay replied, too excited to ask who it was.
She paid a visit to her trainer, taught Drizzy a few new tricks, then headed for Darnassus. It took her all of 15 minutes to learn how to ride the Nightsaber. After she was finished she couldnt believe how much faster it was to get around now that she no longer had to walk. She still had a couple hours to kill before she had to go and meet Glass, so she consulted her log book to see if she had anything she could finish up. She noticed at the bottom of her log she still had some things that had to be turned in from Uldamon when Sir Wolfgaar and his fiancee had run her through. She decided to fly there immediately so she would not have to visit the desolate region of the Badlands again.
Once there she met up with the two dwarven gentlemen in the cliffs overlooking Uldamon, handing them their belongings they had left in there. They greatfully paid her, and she turned to leave. As she did, she noticed a massive group of ogres hollering and shouting in a cluster. They appeared to be stomping at something on the edge of a cliff.
"Oye, looks like them ogres is bashin on some pour soul again," said one of the dwarves.
"Bugger shouldnta got close to em!" said the other with a grunt.
Without another word Sinafay mounted her Nightsaber and ran to where the ogres were standing. They didn't even notice her approach as they were too busy laughing and stomping at their victim's white knuckles hanging on for dear life at the edge of the cliff. Sinafay quietly whispered to Drizzy, who immediately phased into stealth and prowled towards the ogres. He phased back into existance right between their legs and lashed one of them hard with his deadly claws. The ogre howled in pain and tried to swipe at Drizzy with his giant club. Drizzy was too fast and too small for the ogre however, and the ogre only ended up bashing his friend in the skull, toppeling him like a great tree. The ogre and the rest of his clan were now maddened with rage and Drizzy took off running in the oppipsite direction, with the entire ogre party in tow.
Sinafay released herself from her shadowmeld and ran to the edge of the cliff. It was an elf who was hanging there, his knuckles covered in blood from the bashing they had recieved. Sinafay was awe struck that the elf had managed to hold on at all, and as he looked up, his eyes pleading with her for help, she recognized him as Dranlo! She immediately threw herself in the ground and extended a hand to him. He grabbed it, but was too weak to pull himself up. She tried in vain to pull him, but she hadnt the strenth to pull so large a man who was hanging over the edge of a good 6,000 foot drop. She lashed her legs around a small boulder embedded deep in the baked earth and tried again to pull him, unsuccessfully. Suddenly she felt the burden lifted from her and noticed Dranlo was dropped next to her, chest heaving and coughing up small amounts of blood. Drizzy was standing next to him, chest also heaving.
"That's...some cat you got there..." Dranlo gasped.
Sinafay smiled and plopped back against the ground, "You're telling me!" she panted.
"Those ogres will be back," said Dranlo, "We should leave."
Sinafay called her Nightsaber back to her and mounted it, Dranlo mounting up behind her.
"Your Daddy buy this for you too?" he asked.
Sinafay glared at him, "No."
"I'm sorry that really isnt any way to talk to someone who just saved my ass," he chuckled, "I was only teasing."
Sinafay smiled back slightly and urged the mount forward. As they rode out of the Badlands and into Loch Modan, Sinafay pulled some bandages out from her bags and wrapped up Dranlo's fingers. They took a flight to Iron Forge and Sinafay walked him to the Physician there.
"I really appreciate all your help" Dranlo said, "Perhaps we can quest together sometime?"
"Sure I would like that," Sinafay smiled at him. The clock of Iron Forge sounded off the hour mark and Sinafay realized she was going to be late meeting Glass. She said goodbye to Dranlo and took off for the Gryphon roost.
When she arrived in Stormwind, Glass instructed her to meet him on the steps of the Cathedral. It didnt take her long to get there, but Glass was nowhere to be found. She merely saw a redheaded paladin sitting there, also seeming to be waiting for someone.
"Hello," Sinafay greeted him cheerfully.
The paladin seemed at a loss for words, he opened his mouth to say hello to her back but nothing emerged. "Stormlight?" he looked closely at her, "Wait no..."
"Stormlight?" Sinafay said, "That was my mother's name...did you know my mother?"
"Sinafay?!" the redheaded paladin gasped at her.
"Um...yes?"
"I am Grey, your father."
"F-Father??" Sianfay stammered in utter disbelief.
Before she could say another word Grey grabbed her and held her in a tight hug, running his fingers along her face and commenting on how much she looked like her mother.
"Where is mother?" Sinafay asked, looking around expecting her to be nearby.
"Ah well," Grey said solomnly, "Your mother and I aren't really together anymore. She is in menethil harbor right now I believe."
"Why...Why aren't you together anymore?" Sinafay asked, saddened at the news.
"It is a long story. We just both mutually decided to go seperate ways shortly after your birth."
"Ah I see you two have met then," said Glass, emerging from the shadows.
"You arranged this then?" Grey asked.
"I did," Glass admitted, "To think my guild master has been your father this whole time and I only found out recently!"
"How did you know?" Sinafay asked.
"Well you never mentioned your father's name, but you mentioned your mother once when you explained why you wanted to be a hunter. Yesterday Grey brought up Stormlight's name, and I put two and two together." Glass said, obviously proud of his intelligence.
Before Sinafay could reply, her father handed her an invitation to join his guild, called Heaven and Earth. Sinafay had heard of Heaven and Earth being the biggest and strongest guild in all Azeroth, and looked at her father in amazement.
"Well we can't have my daughter being guildless now can we?" Grey winked at her.
And so it was that day that Sinafay joined her family in Heaven and Earth. They also in turn welcomed Dranlo with open arms as well. Dranlo and Sinafay ended up doing many quests and dungeons together, and have now reached season sixty like the rest of their guild.
And so the story continues....
