Chain: Erixa's Journal

Another week with my team! We have left Hyldnir and blue-woman disguise behind entirely to work with Thorim and frost giants. Not at the same time, because the giants still are wary of Thorim. I think Dane is much happier now that he can talk out loud, instead of pretending to be a blue lady. He is a good leader, always telling us good job team.

First, we try a plan of Thorim’s to get back his old drake, Veranus. She is a good drake, but getting old. I wonder how long drakes live - is she old like a human or old like a draenei? At least, she is old enough that she can no longer have baby drakes. Still she guards her nest. She must wish she could still have baby drakes. I have never had any baby drakes draenei, but that is not so uncommon in long-lived people like mine. We put eggs in her nest to get attention.

Why do we have drake eggs, you may ask? We stole them. Not a small task, since they are each about as big as Cressidha. She is small, but not that small. We tried to not harm the hatchlings in the nests we took from as much as we could, Iphindra soothing them to sleep and me putting them into a meditative state. I do not know what proto-drake thoughts are like, but both things seemed to work. I am curious what proto-drake thoughts are like now.

Anyway, I hope Veranus wanted baby drakes, because now she has twenty-five.

Once Thorim reunited with Veranus, he wanted his hammer. Very reasonable, I would have a hard time fighting without my sword. There are things I can do without a sword, mostly with the Light, but the sword is a big part of fighting. The frost giants know something about it, but they are being very a slightly larger gap, like maybe someone went to check a dictionary evasive.

They sent us to an extraordinary place, a giant and dwarf battlefield frozen in a moment of time. Some things in mid-air, like dwarf tossed from attack and frozen there. I have always thought I would die in battle, but I do not know if I would like this, frozen as statue forever. It was amazing in some way, but also very sad. Neither side even won, it was all just frozen by Thorim and his axe. The giants they will make a memorial for it.

My plan to make friends with colleagues continues. Cressidha now knows that I, too, like her brother. I must find time to tell stories with Iphindra. Dane, maybe I should find present for his own baby drake human. Velrin is quieter now, maybe disappointed Thorim was not a big romance in the end? He is so much bigger than us, I do not think romance would work, physically. I will try to find a way to cheer her up, maybe secure her a titan person that fits better with kaldorei in size.
