Back home

[Kira]

Alright, again with me. Gah, I have to be annoying someone by posting so much on these topics now! Anyway!

Today I hopped over to my baby hunter again to do some leveling. A friend of mine started a hunter, we're both lvl 40 now, I wanna keep up. I decided to go over to Kalimdor at level 40 to level. Feralas and Tanaris are my two spots, I don't know much about the other side of the planet at that level so I hopped a boat to Ratchet. While I was there I decided 'oh what the hell, I'll go see if Humar is up. No way is he going to be there, so I'll just check and ease my mind.' See, I released him on my 80, in that exact spot, While he was Up. It was like watching him go home, I almost cried.

I run up with my Mount and dismount, my new Clutchmother standing beside me. She's cute, but..something didn't click. So I get to the tree and what do I spot but a black body among the tan ones. My heart stops. I ask my friend what he thinks, 'Do what makes you happy', and I just about cry again. I said goodbye to my blue chicken, knowing she'll get home safely..she's level 40 now after all (rp moment, hush.) I set down my trap and start the tame, feeling incredibly happy. Humar holds a special place with me, he leveled Asli up to 80 and letting him go was so hard but...sooo many black lions.

So now Humar is back with me and I couldn't be happier. It's like having my best friend back. True I got rid of my ravager (who I'll take again after Cata, when I finally get back) and then my chicken to do it, but he's back home and I'm Not letting him go.

Enough gushing, point is I got Humar back. Problem though...he was originally named Soshi. I don't feel right using that name on him again, and he doesn't feel like a Soshi this time. He feels like he should have a darker name. I almost want to go with Hades, but I'd like some suggestions before I do.

Again, sorry for posting so much and asking for so much help, I'm trying to stop, really!

I just googled Hades and got a wikipedia article that said "See also: Sheol and Hell in Christianity" ... I really like the sound of Sheol, might use it myself one time. Anyway, that's my suggestion. Name him Sheol.

[Pawtrack]

Your story is practicaly exactly like mine. I found him out of sheer luck not even camping for him! I didn't let him go on another toon, though, it was the only time I'd found him

I named mine Whisper the first time, then renamed him Shade (although I'm thinking about renaming him again! ) I do like Sheol, though....
Ooohhhh..... Hey, I might even name mine Sheol - it's a great name!

Those are my suggestions

I think Sarayana's suggestion is great. I really like Sheol.

My suggestions are admittedly probably too cumbersome for good pet names, but I think they are interesting, anway. Searched on "dark" meanings, such as chaos, dark, black, hell, evil, death, etc. Yay! lol
