Felt like a Ninja Hunter today... well, almost

Recently I created a new Worgen Hunter, Vasla, to tame all the rares I want but haven't got on my Night Elf hunter (who has pets that aren't all rare and that I just like the look of). So, today Vasla reached Level 25 and I decided to go and tame the next rares on my list: Ursol'ok, Araga, Cranky Benj and Big Samras.
First, I started off in Ashenvale and ran to place Ursol'ok should be, I was unaware of the horde guards nearby and got attacked by one which chased me all the way up the path before retreating. I was just devising a plan of how I was going to get back past the horde guards when suddenly I noticed a certain bear spawn right next to me - Ursol'ok!
After taming Ursol'ok I noticed some weird totems by a bridge which is the enterance to Azshara, I've never been there before so I decided to go in and have a quick look around. Halfway into Azshara I suddenly remembered that it was a horde zone, but not only that it was also home to a rare turtle called Scalebeard. I quickly looked up his spawn points (along the beach or at a cave on a horde-looking island) . I ran down to the beach and began to swim amongst the turtles when suddenly I spot the huge blue guy casually strolling along and I tamed him before hearth-ing out.
Now I began to work out how I was going to get to Hillsbrad which I've only managed to get to before through flying or running from the Western Plaguelands flight master. I looked on my map for the nearest place to fly to which was the Arathi Highlands. Once I arrived I began to run to the border which seperates Arathi from Hillsbrad, when suddenly I met two undead guards who's levels came up as ??. None of my friends were online to distract them from the gate so I logged off and brought my 85 hunter to where they were and noticed that they both were only level 30. Two fired arrows later I logged back on Vasla and ran through the gate feeling like a Ninja.
After searching all up and down the river I couldn't see any sign of Benj so I went to look for Araga and to my luck, she was there! Although it took me a while to work out how to get onto her hill I managed to tame her and got to see her cubs. ^_^. (I think Araga is meant to be the pride leader of the lions on the plain below?) Anyway, I started running over to Big Samras' spawn point and just as I came over the hill to the river there was none other than the huge red and grey turtle - Benj. I fell for those blue eyes instantly and tamed him after checking Big Samras was there - which he was! So now I had a dilemma. I was going to have to go back to the stable master to drop off a pet. I got back to Darnassus, caught the boat, ran like a mentallist all the way to the flight master, killed the guards at arathi on my night elf and finally reached Big Samras... to find him dead.
I guess I'd had enough luck already... but he takes about 10 hours to respawn which is a very long wait for me.

But you will get it soon i bet!
