With the Winter Holidays just around the corner, Mabon was in a flurry of preparation. “There’s so much to do! C’mon, Mouse… help me with these decorations!”

Episode 10 will come out December 17, 2007. Episode 11, January 7, 2008.

“That Arsonite Tinkerboom certainly is a character, isn’t he?” Mabon chuckled thinking of her recent visit with her new friend.

“I haven’t met the fellow, yet, but I’ll take your word for it, lass.”

“It certainly is interesting what you can learn about a person just by spending a bit of time with them.” Mabon picked up her faithful cat, Mouse, and nuzzled his fur. She fiddled with her dress, and tried to sit still while waiting for Garnil to finish polishing his armor.

Garnil painstakingly shined each piece, inspecting them carefully for signs of wear or disrepair. He whistled a cheerful tune as he worked, obviously enjoying his task.

Mabon sat at her desk, writing on parchment. She had crossed out and re-written so many times, she had filled two pages with nothing. Sighing, she looked at her cat, Mouse. “Why is it that I can always think of something to say until I try to write it down?”

“Do you have that report ready for me yet, Mabon?” The Adjutant General’s voice was stern over the Guild Communicator.

“Almost, Sir. Just… um…. Getting the final touches done.” Mabon bit her lip, hoping he wouldn’t hear the lie in her voice.

She turned her attention away from the cat, who was now busy chasing a shadow on the floor, and concentrated on writing. Pen scratching on parchment was the only sound as Mabon hastily completed her report. “I’m sure this isn’t nearly good enough, but it will have to do for now. At least it’s done, right, Mouse?”

Mabon slipped the report into the mailbox, adjusted her dress, and headed for the Cooking trainer. There was a big feast to prepare for, and she definitely needed more lessons! “I’d really like my family to actually be able to eat the food I lay on the table this time.”

The warrior in his gleaming armor stood at the ready, and his team waited for his signal, everyone in position. With a nod of his head, they entered the fray, moving together in the dance of death. Garnil was in the middle, surrounded by angry mobs, withstanding blow after blow, and enjoying every moment.

Mabon stayed behind the beasts, wielding her maces with fury, glad he was taking the brunt of the anger, and not her. When she hit a beast a mite too hard and got his attention, Garnil shouted in rage, turning the beast back to himself.

At the end of the fight, he wiped off his sword. “Quite fun. Quite fun, indeed.” Mabon grinned at him. In just a few words, he summed up the entire adventure.

“Why, hello there, tall, dark and furry. Come sit over here, next to me.” Izzi smiled, and patted the bench beside her. The large Tauren hesitated just a moment, glancing around to make sure she was talking to him. The bench shifted slightly as he sat next to the tiny Blood Elf, and she giggled.

“And what are you doing so far from home?” She tilted her head as she spoke to him, gazing in to his dark eyes.

“I was looking for work.” He spoke slowly, his deep voice rumbling in his chest.

“Well, there’s always work to be found for someone as strong as you!” Izzi placed her hand on his arm, squeezing his muscle. “Oooo! Yes, you are a strong one, aren’t you?” The twinkle in her eyes hinted at mischief. “What’s your name, cutie?”

“Roarren.” Obviously, a man of action, and not of words.

“Roarren.” She repeated his name, letting the Rs roll off her tongue, drawing out the sounds. Rrrroarrrrennn. “Mmm, what a powerful name.” A quick glance at his armor told Izzi just about everything she need to know about this Shaman. “I certainly could use the help of someone like you. Little ol’ me just can’t take on those big, bad meanies all by myself.” She licked her lips and batted her eyes at him. “Care to assist me?”

Standing up much quicker than imaginable for someone his size, Roarren offered Izzi his hand. “I’ll help.”

“Perfect,” She said. “Just perfect.”

The sunlight glinted off her mace as she swung hard, connecting to skull with a dull thud. She had taken the orc by surprise from behind, stunning him, as he tried to attack. “We’re counting on you to guard him…” The words echoed in her head, fueling her strikes. The healer knelt over Commander Thunderman, tending his wounds from the battle against the War Master at Grom’Gol. The Knight-General had ordered Mabon to stand watch, making sure the priest could work in safety. Another blow of her mace rendered the assailant dazed, and Mabon pressed her advantage. When the orc had enough, and turned to run, Mabon drew her throwing knife, held her breath and took aim.

The orc fell, face down, the hilt of the knife waving from the base of his neck. “Well done, lass!” Garnil chuckled, and the priest ordered him to hold still. Mabon smiled, pleased at the praise, and slipped into shadow once again to continue her vigil.

“Thank you for coming, Commander.” Mabon stood on tiptoe and gave Garnil Thunderman a quick kiss on the cheek. She enjoyed watching the slight flush that rose in his face.

“My pleasure, lass. A grand party, indeed. Lovely.”Garnil shifted uneasily. He was not one who went to many casual gatherings.

“You are too kind. I know my parties never end well, but I just can’t seem to stop hosting them!” Mabon giggled, thinking back to the last few gatherings, including the one just before the twins were born and she went into labor in the middle of the party! “I guess it’s just an excuse for me to dress up and talk to everyone.”

“Aye, Mabon. You certainly seem the social butterfly.”

Mabon watched him leave, and turned to survey the room. Hmm. There seemed to be a leftover. Propped in the corner, snoring softly, was a dwarf. Mabon turned to ask Commander Thunderman for assistance, but he was gone already. Mabon shrugged and picked up a broom, sweeping around the sleeping guest.

Mabon eyed herself in the mirror. Turning this way and that, trying to get a sense of how she looked in the new gown. Sighing, she took it off and tried on the next one. No, that one wouldn’t do at all! Perhaps the green…. She went through a half-dozen dresses before deciding on the blue one. Yes, it was a bit low cut in front, but the color brought out her eyes.

She went downstairs to meet her escort for the evening, Commander Thunderman. He had removed his tabard, and shined his armor, and looked as dashing as ever. Mabon smiled up at him. “I guess you didn’t have much trouble deciding what to wear this evening, did you?”

“No, lass, “ he chuckled at her. “Just in deciding whether or not it would be fitting to bring my weapons. I truly feel quite naked without them.”

Mabon blushed pink at her Commanding Officer, as the thought of him naked save for his weapons ran through her mind. She slipped her arm into his plate-clad one, the metal cool on her fingers. “Shall we be going, then?” The silver-haired man smiled down at his young friend, and they headed off.

Trying to elude the man following her, Mabon ran as fast as she could, keeping to the back ways of Stormwind. If she could just get far enough ahead, she could slip into shadows and hide. She turned out of the tunnel and headed down the alley behind the auction house. It would be easy enough to get lost in the crowd there, she decided. Glancing over her shoulder to see how far behind the man was, she tripped, and fell against a large wall of plate armor.

Strong arms gripped her, stopping her fall, and Mabon looked up to see a dashing silver-haired warrior grinning down at her.

“Hullo, lass. You look like you might need some help.” His eyes twinkled in laughter, and Mabon realized what a sight she must be, having left home in the middle of the night, and running from that man for days.

Mabon smiled up at him. He seemed the sort a girl could trust: brave, loyal, ready to fight for his King and the Alliance. Why, even his tabard bore a crown. “Yes, actually, I could. You see, I’m being followed.”

The man’s eyes narrowed, his face hardened as he looked around the square. How could an innocent young girl be in such trouble?

“Right, lass. Stick with me and I’ll keep you safe. My name is Garnil Thunderman, Commander of the Guild of Sterling.”

She giggled at his seriousness. “I am Mabon Lightpath. I’m please to meet you, Sir.”
