Release and Naivete - Lilly's Experience
Lilliana - February 5, 2006
The night had been hard on the young troll. Like a slender reed
forced about by the harsh wind, Lilliana Bloodshine, being
flexible as she was, could roll with whatever punch was aimed her
way and still come up upright. But this evening, one that began
with the promise of merriment mixed with drink and food in the
Gallows End Tavern with the Nightmare’s army, ended in horror for
Lilliana. Lupen was found in the Brill Town Hall talking in a
language she couldn’t understand. When he disappeared and some of
her fellow Grim set out to discover what had taken him, she
became rattled and worried. She had rather liked Lupen, and had
even given him a drink (which he had been adamantly refusing)
earlier during the nights festivities.
See….Lilly is a Grim. She’ll take part in the most awful and
cruel activities and torture any alliance or non horde creature
that she can get her hands on, however…..she’s become heavily
dedicated to her army and all those within it (she’ll even heal
an annoying Pincus - that like an army of termites, eats steadily
at her nerves). Lilly’s life has been one of shelter and safety.
She grew up with her mother, a troll shaman who traveled with a
gnome mage who helped to raise Lilly. Since early adolescence
she's traveled with Boggart, the trouble making troll shaman
who's always been at her side when she's needed him. Lilly has
the most peculiar perspectives on life due to her upbringing, as
some have thoroughly noticed and commented on in confusion or
simply attributing her attitude to naiveté.
Lilly needed an outlet to help her let go of the evenings
horrors….first from Lupen….then to Warneshi, the strong troll
that risked himself to simply garner information on Lupen’s
whereabouts. That one really should tread more lightly…she
worried for her fellow sandfury troll. She sometimes caught
herself pondering his existance, and that was enough to make
anyones head spin.
When Morn sauntered into Oggrimar, looking rather bored when
Lilly greeted her and Lilly looking stressed and worried, it was
silently understood what the two would do. Catching the nearest
Zepplin, they headed off to Stranglethorn and then planned to
travel through Darkshire…but….they were side tracked so many
times! Together they took down entire camps of alliance
strongholds. Lilly followed a hunter and took him within her mind
control spell and forced his pet to slaughter him. Later a little
gnome fell to her control and she sent him after a comrade. The
orc and troll pair would hide behind trees while Lilly cast her
curses on the unsuspecting alliance and watch, cackling, while
they struggled and finally fell to the ground, writing in agony
as the spirits took them. Lilly pointed out the proper way to do
away with a hunter was to slay his pet first, and then the
hunter. At one point Morn stated that they were both going to
hell, but the two agreed that was fine thing as most everyone
they knew would be joining them there.
Morn and Lilly spent the evening laughing and relishing in the
blood shed. At one point, Lilly fell over laughing after they
finished mind controlling a gnome, and said between gasps of
laughter:
“This is like when I was younger…my mother would take me here
with Tranquility….” Lilly noticed Morn’s confused look at the
name Tranquility, then clarified “The gnome she traveled with.
Yeah?”
“Oh?” Inquired Morn, wiping some shining blood from her daggers.
“They would come here, and Tranquility would lure out his fellow
alliance, so that my mother could pop them! It was fun to watch!”
Lilly grinned a most dark grin rare to find on her young and
quiet face. She ruffled the blood mattered hair of a gnome the
two had just slaughtered after using his little body to attack
his fellow alliance.
Many alliance fell to the rogue and priest that night. One even
cried as he realized that his death was a reality. The evening
had no purpose, other than to satisfy the two horde. Lilly and
Morn retired that evening with Lilly feeling quite a bit better.
This was how she lived her life. And a good life it was.
