  "writing": "<23>\n\n\tSummer earned herself a plethora of odd looks when she’d made it to training that morning, but she also got just about as many compliments by her peers who appreciated the art of armor.  Her instructors side-eyed her at first, but one by one they understood her predicament, and ultimately they let her slide for the time being.\n\n\tUnsurprisingly, Landon didn’t show up at all, and Summer swore she heard some whispers among her trainers that he was on the verge of being kicked out.  The thought of that asshole made her head hurt though, so she did her best to put him out of her mind for the remainder of training.\n\n* * * * *\n\n\tMeanwhile, Rainier had taken to cooking in hopes of clearing his mind, though after breakfast he didn’t feel much better than before.  He sat down in front of his gnomevision, as usual… but he could barely focus on what was on the screen.  “Fuck,” he swore to himself again and got up, marched up to his bedroom, and came back down in a loose, light-colored tunic and leggings.  Gathering up his pouch of gold and belongings, the warrior marched out of the apartment and headed into the city.\n\n\tIt was a short walk to get to the marketplace.  Surprisingly, there wasn’t much of a crowd that morning, which didn’t make Rainier quite as anxious as usual when he was out in public.  He made several regular stops to pick up fresh produce and food that he’d need to cook for the week, and when he’d gotten the essentials, he took to meandering through a few stores he’d never set foot in before.\n\n\tA gentle jingle rang out as he stepped into a small store in the dwarven district scrunched between two much taller buildings.  The scent of jasmine perfume crashed into him first, prompting a brief coughing fit from the seasoned warrior.  Bottles and all sorts of trinkets covered the walls, some of which were clearly magical in nature.\n\n\t”Oh goodness do not be big baby,” a feminine voice called out.  “You have asthma, you go back outside, I no want your business.”\n\n\t”I’m fine,” Rainier grunted and cleared his throat.  From the back of the store approached a svelte, female draenei with pale skin and garbed in an ornate, Uldum-esque dress, complete with a veil obscuring the lower half of her face.  “I was looking for something for someone… special.”\n\n\tThe draenei propped her fists on her hips and studied the grizzled warrior for a few moments, then started clicking her tongue.  “Come.  Mama Jezma have what you need.”  The draenei’s long tail swished behind her as she marched back into the depths of the store, beckoning for Rainier to follow.\n\n\tRainier hesitated only briefly before following her, tensing up just a little as the hallway in the back narrowed.  Jezma pushed open a side door and marched right in, but when Rainier peered inside, he just about choked.  Racks upon racks of some of the skimpiest lingerie he’d ever seen covered the walls and formed aisles in this surprisingly large back room.  “I… uh….”\n\n\tJezma’s glowing eyes stared intensely at him.  “Oh don’t clam up now, suck it up and pick something beautiful for your lover.”  Rainier didn’t immediately respond, and the draenei rolled her eyes.  “Ugh, fine, twist my arm you must.  Come, we find something together.”\n\n\tBefore Rainier could react, he was dragged into the sea of lingerie, and the draenei began pulling several pieces and asking him a barrage of questions about his lover’s size and tastes.  Of course, he avoided mentioning Summer specifically, let alone her being his daughter.  There was one moment toward the end where he swore the draenei was ready to model her favorite set herself, but Rainier reached into one rack and pulled out a lavish set of scarlet lace lingerie first.  “This will do.  It’s her favorite color.”\n\n\tThe draenei held back a tinge of disappointment.  “Good, good.  Come, pay up front.  You want reading too?”\n\n\tRainier stepped out of the back room.  “Reading?”\n\n\t”I tell fortunes and speak of future,” Jezma said casually.  “Come free with such big purchase.”\n\n\t”How much does this cost again?”\n\n\t”No mind, just come pay,” she insisted and swept behind the front counter.\n\n\tRainier pushed away his hesitation and laid the garments on the counter.  “Can you wrap them too?”\n\n\t”Not well, but can,” she said and promptly pulled out a small box, laid the garment in, and wrapped it in matching scarlet paper with a green bow.  “A hundred gold.  Cheap, yes?”\n\n\t”Maybe for good armor,” Rainier muttered and placed a fistful of gold on the countertop.\n\n\tJezma reached out to take the gold, but her fingers brushed his hand as she did so, and suddenly the draenei froze.  Rainier felt a strange tingle and froze as well, looking up to see her eyes glowing far more brightly than before… and she spoke.  “The time is nigh, the void hungers for its due, its sacrifice.  When the moon vanishes, the portal will open and will not close until [i]its[/i] hunger is satiated.  A bargain has been struck… the pale elf will be taken from this world…!”  With a sharp gasp, Jezma drew back, breathing heavily when the glow in her eyes returned to normal.  “Holy fuck!  I’m so sorry!” She blurted, apparently having ‘lost’ her accent.  “That… that’s not supposed to happen, are you alright?”\n\n\tRainier didn’t speak immediately.  He was a logical man.  He prided himself on thinking things through, and it made him a capable warrior and tactician during his time in the service.\n\n\tBut when it came to Summer, taking risks wasn’t his forte.\n\n\t”I have to go,” he said, snatched up his present, then strode out of the shop with all due haste.\n\n\tJezma blinked awkwardly as she watched him go, then sighed.  “This is why Mama Jezma has no meaningful relationships.”\n\n* * * * *\n\n\tBy the afternoon, Summer once again had a predicament, but she had quickly come up with a solution that she thought just might keep her out of trouble.  She made her way back home and stopped just outside her apartment door, checked around to be sure no one was nearby, then quickly pulled off her loaned armor and stuffed it in her pack.  She gave the door a few brief taps out of courtesy, then slipped inside, stark naked save for her pack.  “Oh Daddyyyy, I’m hooooome.”\n\n\tBut Rainier wasn’t in his usual spot on the couch.\n\n\tCurious, the naked blood elf sat her pack down by the door and did a quick sweep of the first floor.  “Dad?” she called a bit louder, but got no response.  “Daaaaad?” she called again, relaxing as she trundled up the stairs.  “Hey, I’m really sorry about this morning, honest!  Can I make it up to you?”  Still no response.   She briefly checked her own room first, which was unsurprisingly empty, then poked her head into Rainier’s bedroom.  His room was indeed empty… save for a small box wrapped in blue paper.\n\n\tHer pointed ears perked up, and she excitedly trotted over to the gift with a tag that simply said “For Summer”.\n\n\t”Hmm… maybe I should wait for him to come back first,” Summer thought aloud.  “He always insisted on watching me open gifts before.  Buuuuuuut if it’s something [i]fun[/i], I could have it [i]ready[/i] for him when he gets back home!”  That’s all it took for her to convince herself, and she joyfully tore the paper and flung the tiny box open.\n\n\tInside sat a smooth, dark blue stone that appeared to swirl with black and blue energy.  There was no warning before a dark flash appeared from the stone, and everything went black.\n\n* * * * *\n\n\t”Summer?  You home?” called an uncharacteristically nervous Rainier as he barged into his apartment.  “Summer?” he said again more urgently, scanning the first floor before rushing up the stairs.  “Summer if you’re here, [i]answer[/i] me!” he called out more urgently, looking around her bedroom first, then bursting into his own.\n\n\tUpon his bed laid the small box and the stone, though the latter appeared empty, as if made of glass.\n\n\tRainier was speechless, and his mind became a whirl of confusion, anger, and fear.\n",

he said, snatched up his present, then strode out of the shop with all due haste.<br /><br />\tJezma blinked awkwardly as she watched him go, then sighed.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;This is why Mama Jezma has no meaningful relationships.&rdquo;<br /><br />* * * * *<br /><br />\tBy the afternoon, Summer once again had a predicament, but she had quickly come up with a solution that she thought just might keep her out of trouble.&nbsp;&nbsp;She made her way back home and stopped just outside her apartment door, checked around to be sure no one was nearby, then quickly pulled off her loaned armor and stuffed it in her pack.&nbsp;&nbsp;She gave the door a few brief taps out of courtesy, then slipped inside, stark naked save for her pack.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Oh Daddyyyy, I&rsquo;m hooooome.&rdquo;<br /><br />\tBut Rainier wasn&rsquo;t in his usual spot on the couch.<br /><br />\tCurious, the naked blood elf sat her pack down by the door and did a quick sweep of the first floor.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Dad?&rdquo; she called a bit louder, but got no response.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Daaaaad?&rdquo; she called again, relaxing as she trundled up the stairs.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Hey, I&rsquo;m really sorry about this morning, honest!&nbsp;&nbsp;Can I make it up to you?&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;Still no response.&nbsp;&nbsp; She briefly checked her own room first, which was unsurprisingly empty, then poked her head into Rainier&rsquo;s bedroom.&nbsp;&nbsp;His room was indeed empty&hellip; save for a small box wrapped in blue paper.<br /><br />\tHer pointed ears perked up, and she excitedly trotted over to the gift with a tag that simply said &ldquo;For Summer&rdquo;.<br /><br />\t&rdquo;Hmm&hellip; maybe I should wait for him to come back first,&rdquo; Summer thought aloud.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;He always insisted on watching me open gifts before.&nbsp;&nbsp;Buuuuuuut if it&rsquo;s something <em>fun</em>, I could have it <em>ready</em> for him when he gets back home!&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;That&rsquo;s all it took for her to convince herself, and she joyfully tore the paper and flung the tiny box open.<br /><br />\tInside sat a smooth, dark blue stone that appeared to swirl with black and blue energy.&nbsp;&nbsp;There was no warning before a dark flash appeared from the stone, and everything went black.<br /><br />* * * * *<br /><br />\t&rdquo;Summer?&nbsp;&nbsp;You home?&rdquo; called an uncharacteristically nervous Rainier as he barged into his apartment.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Summer?&rdquo; he said again more urgently, scanning the first floor before rushing up the stairs.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Summer if you&rsquo;re here, <em>answer</em> me!&rdquo; he called out more urgently, looking around her bedroom first, then bursting into his own.<br /><br />\tUpon his bed laid the small box and the stone, though the latter appeared empty, as if made of glass.<br /><br />\tRainier was speechless, and his mind became a whirl of confusion, anger, and fear.<br /></span>",
