Week 1

Return to Otcho's Journals

DAY 1.
Dear Elkeye,

I got kicked out today. No "Pack your bags dear" or "Get ready dear" - no, just a friendly nod-and-wave and then the door closed on me. Good bye, parents, see you soon. Soon? It's not my fault, you know. It's just my opinions. And my opinions are those given to me by my parents. What made them change their minds all of a sudden? I wish I knew. Sometimes, I wish I were an elf. Their gracious fingers would make keeping this journal a lot easier. I'll never be good with a pen (in both senses). And this strider feathers keep breaking in my hands.

So here I am. Mulgore lies before. I still think it looks pretty. But I guess I can't say that out loud anymore. So I confide it to you, Elkeye.

See you soon,

Otcho

DAY 2
It's technically past midnight so it's Day 2. I'm hurrying as I'm writing this. I've camped outside before. But this is absolutely nothing like it. I'm scared.

I hope the sun will come back soon.

DAY 3
Dear Elkeye,

Watching the sun come up gives me a little bit of strength needed to go on. Tomorrow, I'm planning on crossing the Barrens, even if there is plenty of things to do here in Mulgore. I never noticed how big the plains were. This scares me: I've heard the Barrens are at least three times larger and much hotter!

But I want to reach Orgrimmar. I want to see the city with my own eyes!

DAY 4
These green men look funny. And boy am I thirsty.

DAY 5.
Dear Elkeye,

When I arrived in Orgrimmar (what a city! It's massive! but more on that some other time, when I have the time to really explore it), I noticed a bunch of people gathering around a woman tending to some children. She kindly informed me that this week was Children's Week! Since those little Orcs looked so cute (in fact, I've taken a liking to the green ones in general), I decided to take one under my wing for a few days. Oh, the fun Throkk and I had! He showed me around the Barrens - apparently there's a vast forest up north called Ashenvale, I oughta take a walk there sometime - and we had some cold thing called "Eye Scream" together. I had never tasted anything like this! But I kind of ate it too fast and then my head hurt. So I'm going to take my time eating Eye Scream from now on.

When the evening fell it was time to say good bye to Throkk. I promised I'd visit him soon, and then sent him off to his Matron. She's such a nice woman; she gave me a little piglet for all my trouble! It's called Mr. Wiggles and it's adorable. It's the big hit around Bloodhoof Village. I'm going to take good care of it on my dangerous adventures so it doesn't get hurt!
