Tatrin's Story
Nowadays there are city guards who watch over the city day and night, but when my father was young, there was only one nightwatcher in a city, a peacekeeper.

My father’s father was one of the arch mages of Dalaran. So my father was also raised as a mage.

When he was 16 years old his magic skills where already very powerful. One day the people of Dalaran gave him a lantern and assigned him the job of nightwatcher of Dalaran. So every night he made his round trough the city of Dalaran. Trough all the dark alleys where no one would ever come. And he kept peace throughout the whole city.

On 26th of march the archmages announced that there was going to be a very big storm that night and that it was the best for all the people to stay inside. But my father, Eli, wanted to make his round for the safety of the city.

That night, at 9 o’ clock, Eli started his round. When he was on a little square, just at the border of the city, it started raining. Eli didn’t think about the storm the archmages mentioned. It was "just a bit of rain". But then suddenly a bolt of lightning crashed down and struck the church in the middle of the city. Rapidly Eli summoned his water elemental that started casting waterbolts in the direction of the church. When the fire was put out another bolt of lightning struck, now just outside the city. The archmages ran out of their tower and started negotiating. Then one of them muttered something, and they all started casting a spell. A little dome appeared just inside the other dome that protects Dalaran against magic. This time the dome was bleu-ish and I think it protected the city against the lightening. One of the archmages came towards Eli. He told him to go inside his house, there was a chance that the dome couldn’t protect the city the whole time. So quickly he ran towards his house. Suddenly the dome cracked. Eli was a bit frightened and his house was still so far away. When he ran past the square where he was before when the first bolt of lightning struck. He saw a girl standing in front of an open window. He quickly yelled to her to get inside, but there was something very special about the girl. Eli dashed towards the girl took her inside her house and closed all the windows. Once inside Eli asked the girl if e could stay in her house, only for the night. The girl looked right into his eyes, you could see that she was scared. The girl didn’t say anything but she just hugged Eli and started crying. “I’m scared” she said, “please stay with me”. So that night Eli stayed with the girl. They slept together and made love whole night long.

The next week Eli decided to sell his house and to go live with the girl, Beth was her name. You could see they had a very special bond and they were happy together. One month later Beth came to Eli with this look in her eyes, I can’t tell what look, but it made Eli happy. Beth was pregnant. It must have happened on the night of the storm…

Eight months later a baby was born in Dalaran, a baby of a mage. There was something special about that baby, because his father was a mage but his mother wasn’t. They called their son Tatrin.

Eli raised him as a mage, just like he was. But Tatrin was a bit clumsy… a clumsy mage. Other children where always laughing with him when he set the living room on fire… again. Or when he sneezed and fire came out of his mouth and his homework burned out. So Eli stopped learning him magic, and together with Tatrin he opened a toy shop in the center of Dalaran. For many years nothing happened.

When Tatrin was 18 his father died. He had been sick for over a year now so Tatrin was happy that is father didn’t have to suffer anymore. But still… he had lost his father.

Tatrin took care of the toy shop, but when he was 60 he wanted to sell the store. An old goblin bought it for a good price. Now Tatrin and his mother, who was 77 by now, moved to a little hut on the border of the city.

One day the archmages decided to move Dalaran to a safer place, Northrend. So many engineers were needed and a lot of powerful magic. After 2 years everything was finished and Dalaran could be moved. Some people were against the moving of Dalaran, including Tatrin and his mother. All these people were banned from the city. Most of them moved to Stormwind, but Tatrin’s mother wanted to stay. She was convinced of the fact that one day Dalaran will be moved back.

So Tatrin and his mother stayed in a little hut near the crater of Dalaran. Everyday his mother made a walk around the crater.

One day Tatrin woke up and his mother was already gone for her walk. So he had a breakfast and when his mother hadn’t returned from her walk after 2 hours he went outside to search for her. She couldn’t be found anywhere around the crater.

The next day Tatrin took his horse and searched the whole area… his mother had disappeared.

Tatrin always makes the same walk around the city to search for his mother, but unfortunately she’s never there. He’s now and old clumsy mage without parents…

Last week Tatrin was having dinner when suddenly someone knocked on the door. Tatrin jumped up an ran towards the door. Could it be his other?

He opened the door and a beautiful young lady was standing there, shivering and whiping her tears. Tatrin took her in. They had a little conversation. Marlysa was her name, she was 18 years old. She told Tatrin the story of her life and Tatrin told Marlysa his story. When Tatrin wanted to light the fireplace, he tried to use a very simple fireball, but he failed. Marlysa saw that Tatrin was a bit clumsy so she used one of her fire spells to light the fire. Tatrin was very impressed and asked how she did it.

The day after, Marlysa showed Tatrin some fire tricks and she stayed with him a couple of days. In those days Marlysa taught Tatrin more then his father did when he was young.

Marlysa offered Tatrin to become her follower. Tatrin accepted Marlysa’s offer, and so, Marlysa became the master and protectress of Tatrin.
