The crunch of leaves can be heard underfoot, as I step into the autumnal clearing.

There she is, sitting on a tree stump, with a tired look obvious upon her face. As I enter the clearing, she looks up at me, and says softly…

So, you’re here at last, huh? I was wondering when you would get here.

I go to open my mouth, but she continues regardless.

Are you surprised to see me here? Are you that daft?

“I- well,”

You should know that I have a life of my own when you’re not looking through my eyes. You’re smarter than that.

I sigh, and step towards her, into the clearing. “Sure, but here, why here?“ A small clearing in the middle of Eversong Woods, of all the places in Azeroth, why right here?

Really? This is my home, you idiot.

She kicked up a bunch of orange leaves, which floated slowly to the ground in between us.

We stared at each other, assessing each other, for minutes.

“Anyway, how’s magic working out for you?” I asked clumsily. ‘Oh god, this is even worse than unresolved sexual tension.’ I thought.

F-fine.

She looked at me like I had asked her to stab her mother in the face, mixed with the slightest hint of concern.

And what about you, how’s whatever you’re doing going?

I smiled. “Nice to know for all of your powers of precognition aren’t all powerful.” She glared slightly, before she gave me a strange look and smiled a little, realizing it was a joke. “I’m fine, by the way.“

Good, good. Anyway… I’ve got to go. Uhh, take care of yourself, eh?

“You too.” We smiled nervously at each other, before we both walked away.

Well, I’m not sure what to think of that. Both me and Sel are amazingly shy? Perhaps it is just the whole privacy thing. We would of been better off conducting this chat somewhere more public, like in Dalaran. Perhaps next time, eh? (Perhaps)

Now for the stats;

• Total quests completed (Inc Non-Loremaster) : 66
• Total quests completed in [Eversong Woods] : 66
• Total Loremaster quests done (Total) : 63
• [Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms] : 63/550 (63 from zone)
• [Loremaster of Kalimdor] : 0/685 (0 from zone)

For other interesting (not) stats, see after the break.

Total :

• Zones Explored : 1
• Kills : 211 (204 non-greycon)
• Deaths : 5 (1 Falling)
• Total Damage done : 25822
• Total Healing done : 2696

I’m working on Loremaster on a new toon, a priest. She’s currently level 10, with [Tattered Dreadmist Mantle]. She’s done the first few quest hubs in Eversong, and will move her way through zones chronologically by level.

At level 6.

Plan is to get her to finish Eversong tomorrow, then move on to Trisfal Glades, then Durotar, and finally to Mulgore.

Once they’re all ~100% done, we move onto the second tier of zones, otherwise known as Ghostlands, Silverpine Forest, and The Barrens (which is more like tier 2.5), and so on ’till we finish all of azeroth. If at that stage, the [Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms] and [Loremaster of Kalamador] achievement’s aren’t complete, then we go back using our log of quests complete, soloing instances, finding drops to start quests, and whatever, ’till they’re both gained. Then we move onto Outland, doing each zone’s Loremaster achievement in order, and finally going to Northrend, and doing the same there.

After that, I’ll mop up any dungeon quests, holiday quests, and what not, ’till I finish [3000 Quests Completed].

It’s going to be a long journey, that’s for sure.
