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.

The great trek of the angry gnome.

Rats skittered across the streets of Stormwind as the evening rest was broken my high pitched yelling.
"I've absolutely had it with this place! The rats! The vermin! That damnable womanising gnome!"
The gnome quickly got a few looks by passing bystanders, who were trying to hold their laughing.
"GAH! Go away you idiots! Leave me alone!" the gnome boomed, starting to turn red. She called for her horse and gave it to Topper McNab.
"Take it, shut up before i feed you and the horse to my nether ray."

A hour or so passed, and the gnome was riding on hr tiger towards the Deeprun Tram, heavily packed.
Her continous cursing made Tinker Town's inhabitants look foul upon her as she arrived at Tinker Town, but they were barkd and snarled at before they had the chance to talk.
A half wooden machine fizzled as the gnome and her tiger stepped in. She was given a small switch. If she pulled the switch in Ironforge, she would be teleported to Winter Spring.
"Click" said the switch as the gnome used it.

A moment later, she found herself in Winterspring, her Stormsaber in a bathtub in Winterspring and her luggage inside a stuffed hunter's trophy.

After several hours of retrieving the goods she brought with her; 2 massive chests of engineering supplies, a suitcase of clothes, a black box filled with explosives and a short spear. She was ready to go.
She hopped in her heavily packed Stormsaber and rode slowly out of Everlook.

"If the desert is too hot, i'll go there."
She had put on warmer clothes to not freeze to her death. She still shiverd and mumbled to herself.
"Should have brought a wam cloak.. Stormwind at least had better weather...
where did i leave my map.."

After riding for a few hours, she had to duck aside of the road, there was a group of furlbolg walking towards her! Luckily, the snowwhite furry creatures ignored and walked down the path towards their encampment.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 214546.jpg
And so, her ardent journey went on.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 214229.jpg
After another 3 hours, she reached the cave she was looking for.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 214658.jpg
The furlbolgs inside the cave were friendly towards her and let her pass.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 214729.jpg
Eventually, after long walk, she reached the exit of the lengthy cave.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 214850.jpg

The Stormsaber that walked behind her growled, the woods he used to enjoy were corrupted now.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 214924.jpg
Felwood wasn't known to be a pleasure cruise, as clouds of toxic mist floated across the lower lands.
The Stormsaber was given spurs and darted along the road.
As the woods started to grow darker just as she arrived at a Night Elf encampment.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 215002.jpg
They were friendly towards her and let her sleep in the only bed.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 215049.jpg
She had dreams that night as she slept. About her new potential home. About Stormwind. About Pepple.

As she woke up, she could breathe clearly at last. The damp mists have passed for a short time, allowing her to see properly without a dust mask.
She donned her new hat and climbed on her Stormsaber, whom was eating a piece of meat the Night Elves gave him.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 215203.jpg

She rode for many hours on that long dull road, amazing herself by the enormous sludge pools.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 215516.jpg
But eventually, she had reached her first point where she needed to be. A tiny druid encampment in the southern part of Felwood.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 215729.jpg
She hired all of the Hippogryves to carry her baggage, the druids said they would ride the Stormsaber to her location.
After paying a hefty bill, she carefully climbed on the hippogryf and took off.

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.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 220512.jpg

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.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 220629.jpg
She grumbled and decided to sleep early. She was going to need the rest.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 220704.jpg

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.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 220749.jpg

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.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 221142.jpg
"They dare build in Horde teritory! There's even a large excavation site!"
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 221147.jpg

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.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 221420.jpg

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.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 221756.jpg

After a good night rest, she woke up as early as possible and rode off again, she knew she was close!
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 221838.jpg
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.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 221957.jpg
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!
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 222053.jpg
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.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 222128.jpg

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.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w89/ ... 222320.jpg

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.
