A New Adventure: Phase 1

The dard haired gnome sits on his knees on the beach of Darkshore. He stares at the burning remnants of Teldrassil, his thoughts unspoken. After a long moment, he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He whispers, only those very close to him could hear, "Makers ... Light ... Elune ... be with us." He stands, wiping his eyes and turning inland, trying to decide what to do next.

"Greetings traveler."

A massive (well to a gnome at least) tauren steps out of the treeline near the shore and slowly makes his way over to the beach as well. He blends in well with the trees, wearing a tattered robe of stitched together bark and twigs. Even his horns appear branchlike.

"My apologies, I hope I did not startle you. I am River of the Cenarion Circle."

  At this point one of the piles of driftwood and garbage on the shore starts shaking.
— Ow! A bit muffled voice sounds from underneath it. What kind of sha bit me?

  From the said pile emerges a female pandaren. Her outfit that looks like it was ceremonial at some point is now a bit torn and singed. Dark red fur is covered with dirt and ashes. There is a longbow on her back together with a round wooden shield adorned with a green paw symbol. Attached to her hip is a longsword.

  Pandaren kicks a crab that apparently was the reason of her awakening and with a frown begun to rummage around in the pile that she was under previously. After a few moments she apparently finds what she was looking for - a backpack with a waterskin attached to it. Bot items have green leaf symbols on them.

  Done with that, she starts to look around and notices gnome and the tauren nearby.— Hello there. I wave at others. This humble one's name is Xiao Yu from the Silentmind family. It appears that we share a path... Or at least, I hope we do. The thing is - I'm quite new to this continent.

A draenei shaman walks through the ruins of Teldrassil, letting out a heavy sigh.
So much destruction..

He said softly. Noticing the sounds of people talking, he then trudged over, shifting the weight of the greathammer on his shoulder slightly.

The old tauren glances around nerviously. "Oh, my. Indeed. I hadn't realized... Ahhh, but of course the fates would bring us together to witness this.. this... abomination." A great owl glides silently out from the woods and perches on one of the druid's horns and scowls at the others.

Initially startled by the sight of the Tauren, the gnome visibly relaxes at the mention on the Cenarion Circle. "Oh, I see. Yes, well then I don't suppose you would ever be a part of that-" he gestures behind him, indicating the burned World Tree. "Very good to meet you, River. I am Kleemock Fastcog, newly appointed prospector of the Explorer's League of Ironforge. You may call me Klee." He ends his introduction with a respectful bow and a sad smile.

Upon the Pandaren's arrival, Klee waves back and introduces himself once more. "Greetings! A sorry sight to see, this your first visit to these lands. I'm Kleemock Fastcog - Klee for short - Prospector of the Explorer's League of Ironforge." He bows his head to the Pandaren.

Greetings to all.
Caelaen says as he walks over, his posture showing that he was not here to fight.
Is everyone here ok? He asked, ready to heal any injuries if he needed to.

— Well, I saw how it looked before... I approach everyone, while trying to remove some dirt and sand from outside and even inside of my outfit. I was a part of delegation sent to your lands. Well, more like a tag-along. My clan leader thought that it was time for me to see the outside world. I wonder what his reaction would be to this?
  I find a relatively clean and dry spot to sit and begin inspecting my equipment, cleaning it, if necessery.

Caelaen then extended his hand to the Pandaren.
My name is Caelaen. May I know yours?
He smiled politely.
This destruction... the elements must be devastated...
He then sighed.

— Oh? Hello there, friend. Name is Xiao Yu from the Silentmind family. I shift my attention from cleaning sand from the sword sheath to the new person and shake his hand.

Steps back as everyone around him begin to introduce themselves. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath of the ash tinged air. The owl perched on his horn hoots softly. "Yes, I agree. It's quiet isn't it? Very well, feel free to take a look around, but don't fly off too far."

The bird hoots and begins flying overhead, in a wide circle around the group as if hunting. River then takes a moment to inspect the tracks in the sand at his feet, saying out loud, though mostly to himself. "Hmmm, wolf prints perhaps? Deep though... perhaps ridden upon."

Klee glances around.
Edit: Yup. It's a beach.
