The great trek of the angry gnome.

It's happy hour, the alcohol is flowing. It's time to pull up a tankard of ale, bottle of wine for the ladies and regail tales of heroism and grandeur.

Flying on the hippogryf, she felt more tired then ever before. She hadn't slept in 20 hours now. She gripped herself snugly on the hippogryf's feather and dozed off.

It was a dreamless sleep, and before she knew it, she had arived at Ratchet.

The first thing she did, was hire gryphons to fly her as far as the goblins let her. They owed her a favor, so they agreed on flying her to the Thousand Needles, on one condition, she had to help the goblins win the race at the racing track.

After having taking care of business, buying and trading, she found herself in the inn wearing her best clothes. She felt bored and lonely. There wasn't a single person in the entire inn.

She grumbled and decided to sleep early. She was going to need the rest.

After a restless sleep, due to a goblin couple entering the inn yelling, she got up and donned herself in her new work suit. She realised how early it was when she looked outside, it was still dusky.

She did her usual routine of climbing on the gryphon and took off, gazing at her surroundings. http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 220847.jpg
The only thing that managed to amaze her was the dwarven fortress buil in the barrens.

"They dare build in Horde teritory! There's even a large excavation site!"

Upon landing at the border on Feralas, she was greeted warmly by the inhabitants. She quickly ate what they offered her, and got on her way again.

The surroundings had changed again, it was evening now. But she was close.
There were wind serpents everywhere, she saw the corpse of a centaur and a pack of coyotes feasting upon the slain centaur's flesh. he coyotes ignored the now heaving and panting Stormsaber.

After a tedious travel, she decided to hold a short break to let her mount rest. The boulder which she rested under was unstable, but it was not safe to rest anywhere else, as packs of coyotes prowled around, hunting carrion.

A hour passed and she has gotten on her way again, night was falling as she reached the border of the Salty Desert she had to pass.
"Orcs! Three of them!" she peeped to herself, as she saw a large group of kodos on the move.
"I cannot rest here while they are around, i migth get caught and killed." she said to herself, a little too loudly.
The orcs looked up at her and chuckled. They beckoned her over to where they were eating.
The gnome was stunend, she hadn't been treated by orcs like this ever before. It turns out they were nomads looking for a new home, just as her.

After a good night rest, she woke up as early as possible and rode off again, she knew she was close!

She arrived at the racing tracks, and saw a flaming machine soar past her.
"Hey girly, you were send here to fix our machine?" was told to her by a rather cocky looking goblin, apparently the pilot.
She swore softly and started repairing the machine.

A new bolt there. Chassis replaced. A little copper wire there. A new rocket there..
It took her all afternoon, and she was done just on time for the race to start.

As the goblins raced the gnomes, she noticed a man turning into a chicken, then into a man again and back to being a chicken. To great amusement of the goblin crew.

She wasn't sleepy this time, far from it. She felt the adrenaline rush as she heard the goblins had won the race, meaning her machine was succesful.

As happy as she was, she jumped on her Stormsaber, gave it the spurs and charged towards Gadgetzan!

She saw the color of the sand change, and felt more adrenaline rush in her body.
It only took her half an hour to arrive at the wondrous goblin city of Gadgetzan.
With a beaming smile, she parked her Stormsaber next to another Stormsaber.

She strode into the city with gerat pride. She saluted what seemed like the 'big man' around the city and got a key and a tiny note.
The key was her now home, and the note was her working spot. The now energetic gnome tinkered around first at her new working place, feeling quite content.

After a work shift, she decided to get some sleep and continue work the other day. Smiling at her rather tiny 'room', she felt nothing could break her good mood, and dozed off. To dream again.
