Grim Views

A moonless night came over Orgrimmar, the only lights came from the small windows. The troll huntress Ryanica sat in the crevasses of the cavern city, her loyal worg Titan sleeping by her side. Ryanica was very nocturnal; she lived at night, stalking her prey and making her attacks on her enemies. Tonight was different, though. Leaning against the rocks, she could feel the heat of the hot desert that was Durotan finally dissipate from them. She wasn't thinking of filling her growling stomach; she was thinking of the incident that happened just two nights ago.

Ryanica... RYANICA! What's wrong?!

Heart... my heart... it aches...

Ryanica was a very old troll. She knew about her father fighting along Zul'jin in the Second War, and she was just a young girl when Thrall assisted her people against the Sea Witch. She had fought in many battles, and had many scars to tell of these tales. Yet as the days went out, she went her energy slowing down, draining her of life. There was a fragment of her past that haunted her still, from years ago. She knew that if her time were drawing near, then she would have to face her demons sooner or later...

Thurne...

He was the source of her hurt. Of her heartache.

Ryanica looked up to her friends' faces. Nyali's eyes were wide with fear. Bryii the Crusader and Arrothien, Bryii's loyal friend, surrounded her, concerned. None had seen the huntress like this.

She wanted vengeance. Bloodshed.

Thurne would die.

She stood up, and looked at her friends. "There is one way to cure me. To rid my heartache. Blood will be spilt.

Ryanica growled to herself, and Titan stirred from his sleep. She climbed on top of his back, and they descended down into the city. The hunt was on.

Bryii was sitting in her room surrounded by books and tomes on manipulating the light to mend wounds. The room reeked of alcohol, Bryii still drank a lot by herself, it helps her forget her own problems so that see can help the others she cares for. Bryii remembers hearing Ryanica grunt in pain from her condition of her heart, Bryii would hate to lose what she calls a "real sister." Ryanica is family to Bryii, relationship close to being the same of Ashenfury's and Deminthus'. Bryii sighed to her self as the night was late, but she knew she had a lot of work to do. Bryii continued through out the night reading and drinking, until she passed out. Half of Bryii's body was on the bed the other half on the floor, her head laying on the floor with her bottom still on top of the bed. Glasses knocked over with some booze spilt on the floor Bryii finally had her limit of studying and slept for the rest of the night.

Nyali caught an updraft and soared through the dry Orgrimmar air. She caught sight of Ryanica and tilted to fly beside the huntress. She nodded to Ryanica and flew beside her.
