Hello everyone! I hope you had a great Christmas this year! I know I did! =) Also a shoutout to my guildy Abbyrose for surprising me with an imperial silkworm today. <3
So I was chilling in deepholm, hoping Aeonaxx would get into the Christmas spirit when I decided hay- its Tuesday I may as well get all my lockouts out of the way. I had a good feeling that today was a “mount” day but I just didn’t know what mount I was going to find. Maly? No, stubborn as ever. =/
Aeonaxx? Must have decided to stay home with the family.
I had been waiting for my friend to get on so we could run ZG but he was not showing up. I kept getting this feeling that I need to go clear it-
right now - and I eventually accept that my friend was not logging on today. But just as I get ready to head out I notice a sha group forming. ZG first, or sha? Hmmm.
I pick ZG and manage to have a nice, smooth run. Crazy cat lady feels like being a Grinch and dosnt drop anything so I move on to Bloodlord and actually manage to down him in one try this time. I’m not even paying attention when I loot. Then it hits me. He dropped something extra and the icon is green.
HygfyjagyugyuOMG!

If I add up my pre-cata kills, the pre-deadly boss mod kills and the runs I have done at 90, this comes out to about 200 kills. I joined wow early in 09 when I was fourteen and one of the main reasons I played past the free trial was because I had my heart set on this raptor. After years of waiting, losing the original and enough patience to impress a stone…. she is finally mine.
Two seconds after I took this screenie, all my chat channels were filed with screaming and congratulations. My longest hunt has come to an end.
It’s kind of funny how I got the lashtail hatchling first, then my red armored raptor hunter pet and then the mount. It was almost like watching her grow up. xD
I am
so glad I didn’t decide to go kill the Sha first.

I also queued for endless springs and forgot that I had. I almost decided to leave since I as clearing BWL at the time but I’m glad I didn’t. My gun dropped and I recently got the gem to go with it. =) Just icing on the cake at this point! ^.^ Nice to not have to use my pvp weapon anymore!

Well that’s my story. Wishing you all good luck on your hunts and I hope your rl & wow Christmas was a good one.
