Smitten started her journey from Stormwind towards the elven homelands in Northern Kalimdor.
Smitten left the Pig and Whistle tavern, and headed for the Tram. A trip in the underground transport later, and she found herself in the dwarven stronghold of Iron Forge. She headed for the gryphon master, she needed to go to Menethil Harbour. This was as far as she had ever been before. Behind that place, was new and potentially dangerous places to be explored. She had never been outside of the Eastern Kingdoms before. She was nervous. Very nervous.
The trip on the gryphon gave Smitten some time to think about what she was about to do. The Wrenchbuckets had never really been a people who liked to venture far around the world of Azeroth. Her younger brother kept to the warm halls of Iron Forge, and her parents had always kept to themselves inside Gnomeregan. Before the invasion of course.
Things had changed a lot since then. And more changes were about to happen for our young hero.
Once at Menethil, she headed for the boat for Auberdine. She had met many Nightelves before, all of them telling stories about their homelands. Great forests - almost magical. Smitten didn't know what to expect. She had a brief conversation with a human knight on the boat. He ensured her, that Auberdine at least was safe. Once she got to Ashenvale, he could not guarantee her safety.
The home of the Nightelves was a strange sight indeed. They did not have gryphons, but Hippogryphs. Weird birdlike things, that could take you far - fast. But Smitten did not know where to go - she would have to run.
She ran south - followed a deserted road. All seemed safe, she had been worrying for no apparent reason. She was relieved. Then she remembered the knight's words. "Auberdine is safe, Ashenvale is NOT!"
She held on to her axes as she entered Ashenvale. All senses were tingling. Sounds, smells - everything was different in this area. It was an eerie feeling, and the tiny hairs rose as she kept running further and further into the woods.
