When I arrived at Southshore, I noticed a letter in my mailbox. It was from the Mechanostrider seller in Dun Morogh. According to the letter, they had just relieved a shipment of new, faster models. I was invited to come down for a test ride. While my trusty Mechanostrider had served me well, I would sure like to be able to ride faster. So, I set off to Ironforge.
There was a sweet aroma in the air at the great city. I also noticed some strange heart shaped decorations adorning the shops and auction house. I decided that while I was in Ironforge, I’d upgrade my worn out armor.
Outside the bank, there were some strange Goblins dressed in pink suits. They were asking anyone nearby to spray some cologne to celebrate the holiday. Confused, I spoke with the Goblin. He didn’t really give me any information, only that he’d pay me if I sprayed his cologne. I could never pass up free gold, so I obliged. As I turned away from the Goblin, I was surrounded by a thick cloud of green mist.
Suddnly I felt weak in the knees. Everything around me seemed lovely. Then I saw her. Her voice rang out like a song “Straight from the lush forests of Elwynn, get your fresh fruit right here.” I was enchanted by her beauty. She was in a word, perfect. I took some flowers from my bag, and held them out. My mind went blank as she put down her basket of fruit and stared at me with her big blue eyes.
Her voice rang out like a song “Straight from the lush forests of Elwynn, get your fresh fruit right here.”
Then, she spoke. “Ya want fruit or not?”. There were so many words in my mind. What could I possibly say to win the heart of this beautiful goddess. My heart beat in my chest like the pitter patter of a butterfly’s wings. Still, I could not find the words to express my undying love.
Without so much as a smile, my princess picked up her basket and walked away. I was left heartbroken. What more is there to live for if not the love of my fruitful mistress? All the pain I’ve experienced fighting my way through Azeroth pales in comarison to the tears I shed at that moment.
In an instant everything seemed to freeze in time. I became aware of my surroundings. How did I get here? This isn’t the Auction House. Why am I holding flowers? Who is that Gnome looking strangely at me? It had to be that scent in the air. I knew something was suspicious about those Goblins.
Confused, I gathered my composure and walked outside, putting all these strange feelings aside. I’ll think twice before doing business with a Goblin, especially a Goblin dressed in a pink tuxedo.
