First, I headed out to Ashenvale to fly toward Darkshore. It was raining and I felt a little thrill to be going on a little adventure for a new companion.

I followed the coast until it was close enough and started flying as quickly as I could, watching my fatigue bar with some nervousness.

Fortunately, I had no trouble reaching Teledrassil safely!

I found the proper dock and hung around for a few minutes until the boat arrived. I was tense the whole time, wondering if it was going to flag me because sometimes that happens at random it seems.

I landed on the boat, trying to keep myself out of range of the somewhat intimidating level 75 guards. Sitting up there on the boat-house worked just fine.

I hit shore and went searching, finding Timbermaw Hold with little trouble.

I got attacked by the low level flagged guards, but since I had no pet out, I avoided getting flagged and ventured deep inside, looking for my new companion.

I found the Kurken's lair and watched him for a few minutes. He spent most of the time at the water, staring at it. To me, he looked sad and frustrated at his imprisonment, trapped by the Furbolgs and Wildkin and unable to get out.


I called to him and he immediately headed over.

He loomed closer and seemed to stare at me.

I liked this shot. It looks almost like he lowered his head so I could pet his muzzle.

And here Raun is with his handsome new companion, who is still unnamed.
