Tamorat's Rites

[E'lu / Pawene]

The Massive Tauren stood from his kneeling position, still watching his reflection in the Serpent's Lake of the Zangarmarsh. He had been silently thinking on the past nine, ten days...his interactions with his new tribe, the Earthspear tribe! And then, of course, their reactions to him. Instantly the image of Shotaldine and Lekashna came to his mind, and the great bull of a Tauren smiled and turned, ice forming under his hoof to keep him above the water.

He fished around in his pack for a moment, drawing out his carved wind-talking totem. "I, Tamorat Bloodhorn...am more than ready for my Rites to become true Kin of the Earthspear. Tomorrow will dawn and allow me to officially undertake them, but I am stating my intent and willingness just a few hours before." He stated, nodding as the spirit of wind took his words to the others of his Tribe. He hefted his mighty polearm, eyes flashing a shade of red.

"So it will occur, and begin." He uttered before moving along, to Terokkar Forest while he waited.

[E'lu / Pawene]

Pawene's cold voice floats on the wind to Tamorat's wind-totem.

"Tamorat Bloodhorn. Huatar has told me of you, and of your readiness to accept your rites. I will give them to you."

There is a brief lull of silence.

"Both you and I were raised and held beneath the Lich King's will. Both of us, in turn, were freed by the influence of the human paladin Highlord Tirion Fordring, thus giving some credit to the humans' belief in the great 'Light'. We owe this 'Light' for our wills, and our sanity. Your trial is to trek to the wretched Plaguelands of the Eastern Kingdoms, and find the tomb of the first Paladin of the Light. There, pay respects to the Light and to the Earthmother. I intend to make the same journey, and will go with you if you will have me. Else, I will travel alone."

Another silence.

"Your rites have been assigned, A'iah-sechalo (Death-bringer). Do you accept?"

[Tamorat Bloodhorn]

Tamorat's voice replies across the wind, sounding calm and ready. "I accept them readily, and I hope that I may travel there with you. I will hope to speak to you personally about such a trip."

[E'lu / Pawene]

Tamorat completed his rites on 5/5/09

Congrats!
