Same Motions. Different Paint.
Getting spat out of the portal coincided with the wave of sobriety that washed over him.
Who could say why the Monk wanted to get embroiled in another conflict. Was in the dwindling coffers of House Dawnwing? The need to find an excuse for his life to be lost? Maybe he was just desperate for some patriotic purpose even though the Horde was something he couldn't relate to in the least.
Yet here he was. Fireballs flying through the sky and not a drip of whiskey on his tongue.
It was all one unbearable blur. Punctuated by pain in his muscles, sweat in his eyes, and both literal and proverbial puddles of blood coming and going from his fingers. The only thing he was thankful for was that the unfortunate duty of actually shutting the damned portal off rested on some heroic, more capable group of people. Him? Breaking things with his limbs. At least things were that simple.
Orcs. They came in spades.
His opinion of Orcs hadn't changed much for the first two wars. Of course, everyone was against the Scourge so he didn't hold that against them for the Third. They were on his side and now with a new coat of paint and purpose some were his enemy. Well, a whole new Horde of them.
When he awoke the carrion birds were circling the sky. A field of corpses. Some belonged to his side. Others the Alliance. Quite a great many belonging to the Iron. A warm trickle ran down the side of his temple. Perhaps a piece of shrapnel had clipped him. He imagined from the sounds of distant machinery and marching that the Alliance and Horde had been the ones on the retreat.
Now was an opportunity to die...
He willed himself into sitting. One muscle at a time he was standing and shambling. Following the trail of corpse that could only mean desperate survivors on the run.
(OOC: The first post in my little catch up series! Traysk is now level one hundred as I'm sure I've posted about. Next I'm planning on alternating between my Shaman Zekkal and my Rogue Hantheron. Hanth's partner is playing other toons and pretending like I don't exist so I have no excuse to dilly dally on doing stuff with him. I'm also looking to do a bit of rp in the near future so if anyone is interested so I recommend getting into contact with me over tumblr or in game. Until then, stay classy.)
