There is nothing fair about me being a Fairhoof. Shame my great-grandmother was the one that insisted that I be named after her instead of taking my father's strong warrior name. Even after taking up the following of the blades, I tried to get my name changed - but the financiers and officials in Orgrimmar wouldn't push the paperwork through. Something to do with Garrosh Hellscream not having a particular liking for the Tauren tribes especially after his Mak'gora with our late Chieftain, Cairne Bloodhoof. It caused a great uprising between both Tauren and Orcs, not to mention a high distress between both Horde and Alliance soon after that. That aside, the issue with the name change - the Goblins are nothing but money-misers and I probably didn't offer enough money to begin with. Have to admit - I would have liked to have been a Ebonstomper rather than a Fairhoof...
I've been sent to scout the outer edges of the Barrens -- well, at least the portion that is connected by a huge gate at the edge of Mulgore. There have been rumors of Alliance patrols and spies. These orders came from the Orcish Warchief, albeit through the voice of my own Chieftain, Baine, son of our fallen great Cairne. As I guide my sturdy Kodo across the grassy hills with the large mountain high gates in view, I remember my conversation with him.
"You must go keep the Alliance patrols from Mulgore. The..." I remember Baine pausing, his snout flaring and hooves digging into the dirt as if he was trying to gain some clarity and control his anger by connecting with the Earthmother before he continued giving his orders. "...Warchief wishes that we keep the Alliance 'dogs' out of our area that we have been 'allowed' to stay in. He says it is to prove our..." Baine paused yet again. "...loyalty to the Horde."
"Do you really believe he is the right leader for the Horde, my chieftain?" I remember asking him.
Baine's eyes softened and I could hear his teeth clench tight as he raised his head to me. "You must follow these orders, Nahota, even if we do not believe in them. If peace is what we seek, then we must... follow orders... no matter who they are from."

Even as I march across the edge of the Barrens completing my scouting route to search for Alliance that may or may not be here, I feel headstrong and yet, I am uneasy. I sense a great change is coming. I'm not entirely sure what it is. But there is something looming on the horizon. I glanced skyward, a dark shadow forming in the sky. There ACTUALLY was something on the horizon!
Dismissing my mount, I withdrew my duel blades, slipping into the shadows to wait and see if this strange enemy would glide down. And sure enough, it did. As it got closer to the outpost, my eyes widened at the large behemoth that was before me. I had only seen a certain few drakes in my time of war and this was no mere whelp.
THIS WAS A FULLY GROWN DRAGON!
My heart rising into my chest, my mouth agape as my nostrils flared. My braided mane suddenly heavy even as I wore my warrior armor. My head felt heavier than my own armor - and it was just because of the sight of this huge monster that was coming to a perch on the outskirts of Mulgore. I watched a bit more, resisting the urge to charge in. Should I call for back up? Was this some of the Black Dragonflight? No, that couldn't be. They had all been killed. Or had they?
I gasped as I watched the large dragon turn his head, hair whipping around on his scaled head as he then began to transform. His form slowly becoming smaller as I watched him transform into a human, dark black hair and pale white skin. It was then that he turned to face my direction as if he knew I was there. I charged in unsure what to do next, eyes red with rage.
"BE GONE HUMAN SPY!!" I bellowed with a strong war cry.
