The World is Forever Changed.
The world tree had fallen, as Vexxis feared it would. She took a moment of grief, weeping alone in her bedroom at the news she received from her beloved Cendelorn. Luckily, she had prepared for this, making sure to keep in good touch with Lady Ludlow and getting things in order. The Vineyard’s had been erecting livable spaces, tents and gathering supplies for those that may be displaced if the world as they knew it fell into the Banshee Queen’s grasp. It would prove, sadly, that she was right to do so.
She wiped her tears and gathered up the stack of fliers sitting upon her nightstand and headed out into the village, calling a meeting in the center of the village. This is what her grandfather spoke of when she received her markings, to take the weight of the world and carry it for those that could not. She calmed her shaking voice and spoke loudly and clearly, sternly but with love. “It has come to my attention that Teldrassil has fallen to the hands of Sylvanas and her Horde.” she began, taking pause as she stood upon a large fountain’s edge in the center of the village, fliers clutched to her chest as her other hand moved about with her words. “The Kaldorei, the Worgen and many other Alliance people have seen it as their home for many years now - especially the Kaldorei. It was our capital and now it lays in ash. Their refugees, those that have made it out alive will be moving into Stormwind territories as soon as their ships arrive. They will have nowhere to go. They will be scared and scarred beyond anything you could imagine by the tragedies this war has laid upon them. I want each and every able hand to begin now working in order to make their transition here as easy as possible. Tailors, cobblers, gardeners, butchers - all those that live here with your reputable skill begin your work. Make your wares in mass so that those we gather here can be as comfortable as we can make them. I entrust this will be done swiftly and without hitch as your Lady Ludlow would will it so.”
The eyes were upon her, some crying and some just standing in awe as they nodded their heads. Vexxis’ presence here was one that had garnered respect and love in the eyes of the villagers, and for that she was thankful. It paid to show kindness, and today proved that.
She nodded her head and the people filed out to do as they had been asked. Swiftly she checked in with the makeshift houses that were being built and the large tents that were being erected on the outside of the village all the way to the ends of the Ludlow property’s line, and then she made haste into Stormwind upon horseback. Once there she placed the fliers in her arms upon every public building that would allow her to do so, especially at the harbor and near the Stormwind Keep.
She truly had no idea the impact this would have on her place within the Vineyards, as that was not on her mind. The only thing that mattered to her was that she was doing the right thing, and to care for the people that had always cared for her.
