No way...

I had done my "circles" as I came to call them earlier today, well, on Monday, as it's now Tuesday, but got frustrated and bored, so I went mining elsewhere for a while.
After a late dinner and a quick side trip with some guildies, I decided to go back to the Peaks. I've been at this drake hunt for a long while now. It's been weeks, off and on, an hour here, an hour there. Now I'm the stubborn type when it comes to looking for something, I don't give it up easily. I flew in circles in Sholazar for days on end for Loque, froze my toes off for Skoll, but this was wearing on me. Still, with guild-chat active and some music playing, I was out there again, somewhat zoned out, just doing the circles in zen mode.
I had come back to the Engine after another go-around, and weary from flying, I decided to run on foot around the Engine, going clockwise. It was random, I was bored and I was seldom on foot in the Peaks. A change of pace can be refreshing. I had taken out a Rhino and had finished with another rhino, when NPCscan blares an alert. I briefly see Time Lost Proto Drake in my chat log and I panic. Sputtering a little and possibly swearing once, I fumble for my mount button. I'm on foot, blast it all, on foot! Why am I on foot!? "Where?! Where?!" I shoot at my husband, who points out my target as with shaky hands, I mount up and gain height to locate the drake.
It took me three tries to get aggro enough to get him down to ground. I blew the first, got it on the second and lost it, and tried again. On my third try, he comes down with me and I send my Tempi at him. (Good Tempi! Love my warpstalker!) By now I'm muttering, "Mine, he's so mine. I got him." while my hubby keeps me from letting my mix of adrenaline and panic get the best of me. The fight was quick and when it was over the mount was mine.
I will post screenies as soon as I can, later on today in fact. Ketcha knows how to do that sort of thing. Gonna hafta short-story this too.
Woooooo! The good luck charm and all the good will from my guildies works!
