That Damn Role Player

I had almost forgotten how sweet the air was in Mulgore. How soothing the wind blowing through my mane could be. So long had sulfur been burning my nose and clinging to my fur I was unsure I would ever smell sweetness again. The time away from my homelands bothered me, and I knew I would have to go back to that far away place, but for a brief period I was happy just to see my own people again.

I suppose I should not have been surprised to see Grizz there. I have seen him many places as of late. I do enjoy seeing him; hearing his warm voice. I was sure that this night was the night I had to let him go, though. I had to free myself from the sorrow. I wanted him to know he need not feel sorry for me. I was so sure that was the only reason he wished to see me at all.

At last when I had prepared myself to say goodbye, finally when I was ready to begin releasing the sorrow and accepting what no longer was, I am lost and confused again. All he said was that he still cared for me. I could not answer him. There is so much unknown. Does he still love me or just care for a sad and pathetic friend? I do not know.

I must at least admit to myself that deep within, a part of me will always love Grizz very deeply. The most beautiful memories I have are those times we spent together in Feralas. However he has his path he must follow, as I have mine. I will be happy with his friendship. I must focus on the future.

Tomorrow I will return to the Outlands. Something still calls to me there. Something draws me back even as I rest my head in the comfort of a hammock in Thunder Bluff. I will return to find it.
