Open Letter to the Pally that killed Loque'nahak last night
I woke yesterday, determined that today was going to be the day that I would find and tame this beautiful unicorn. For hours I circled, and searched, my boyfriend with me, shaking his head at my single mindedness, no doubt, and watched others, obviously camping her spawn areas, come and go. Frustration and the desire to just stop setting in after the twelfth hour of yet again circling Sholazar, waiting to see the glow of her coat and the glint of her eye through the jungle foliage.
For a time, I gave up, realizing that my desire for this creature had entered the arena of obsession, and for four hours i avoided the search, no longer able to justify the endless hours in even my mind, but in the end my fingers lead me back to Sholazar once more. This time there were no other hunters camping and searching, just me, caught up in the search. My boyfriend, again, supporting me logged in his hunter, searching with me, each of us going in opposite directions. As it happens, he found her and landed in front of her, yelling in my whisper window to hurry, that she was there.
My heart was beating, and i was on the other side of Sholazar. A horde hunter came by, and another Alliance killed him to help us as he saw that we were getting ready to tame this wonderful, epic beast. As for what happened next, I can only shake my head and wonder at the callousness of people. As I got closer, the cry of "NO" came into my ears. I was only a second from landing, and that cry immediately took the wind and the heart out of me. There she lay as i landed, dead at his feet. A paladin and a warrior flying away from the area as soon as my horse's hooves touched the ground, my boyfriend now silent. There was nothing to say. The warrior we talked to, the paladin leaving too quickly for us to whisper, at first thinking they were together, demanding explanations for this unspeakable act of nothing more than callousness, then apologies as he explained what happened, he had been the one to kill the other hunter, and was rooting for us, the paladin he pursued, but lost her. She was Alliance, our own faction, and still she took this away from us.
Once the anger was gone, I cried. I sat staring at her body with tears in my eyes, heartbroken, until the server took her away. Another hunter taming her, that I could understand, and would never attempt to stop that, but this act with another hunter sitting there in front of her, this hit and run for no reason, this to me is inexplicable. It took the wind and the heart from me. Please, if you happen upon one of these beautiful creatures, these elusive creatures of spirit and mist, leave them be. To beast mastery hunters, these are our mythical creatures, our white whales, and our search for them, for those most perfect of pets consumes us.
