"It seems like only yesterday that I was welcomed into the tribe at Camp Narache. Now in my 12th year already, I am coming into my own as a fledgling druid. The battles against quillboar, wolves, and mountain lions were fierce but I trudged through. I traveled from my home of Camp Narache to the home of my people and the honorable Baine Bloodhoof, Thunder Bluff.
Once there, I was summoned by Baine himself, he had a task for me to complete. I sat with him as he spoke to me of his father, Cairne, and how he was betrayed by the Grimtotem tribe and their matriarch, Magatha Grimtotem. He told me of how she poisoned Garrosh Hellscream's weapon before his duel with Cairne, leading to the death of his father. When he finished, he gave me a small token and sent me to Orgrimmar to speak with Garrosh himself and to present him with the Mark of Bloodhoof. With the Mark of Bloodhoof in my pack, I was on my way.
The flight to Orgrimmar is not too long but I was able to look at the beauty of the barrens below. It also gave me time to reflect on what Baine had told me. How the Grimtotem tribe, on the orders of Magatha, took over Thunder Bluff in a bloody massacre in the night. Being a druid, I try to be at peace with all living things around me but being a Tauren of the Bloodhoof tribe, I couldn't help but feel some resentment towards the Grimtotem.
Upon arriving in Orgrimmar, I used my new form taught to me by the elder druids, and ran as fast as my four legs would take me. Orgrimmar was busy as I found out is normal most days. I would have liked to have stayed and seen more of the city but I had things to do. I made my way to Garrosh's throne room. Garrosh is a large orc, almost as large as a full grown Tauren male. I walked to him and bow in respect, though I truly didn't have respect for him, whether he knew of Magatha's treachery or not, he still killed Cairne and hurt my people. I presented Garrosh with the Mark that Baine gave me and I left without a word, not like Garrosh would notice even. I walked around Orgrimmar for a little while while I waited for this thing the goblins called a zeppelin to arrive. I made my way to the zeppelin tower and boarded it to Thunder Bluff.
When I arrived back in Thunder Bluff, I was summoned by Baine again. He had one more task for me to do, kill Orno Grimtotem. I accepted my task and left for the Stonetalon Pass. Grimtotem's camp was just ahead, and I could see Bloodhoof tribesmen fighting with Grimtotem already. I turned into my cat form and stealthed into the camp and spotted Orno. A more formidable foe I have not faced yet but I was confident I could defeat him. I attacked him from behind, but my attacks weren't very powerful and I found myself having to heal myself or I would have surely died. All of the sudden Baine showed up and together we defeated Orno and sent the Grimtotem a brutal message, the Bloodhoof tribe is still in charge of Thunder Bluff and Mulgore. We returned to Thunder Bluff, going our separate ways I thanked Baine for his assistance and he simply bowed respectfully to me.
I found a piece of grass on the edge of the bluff overlooking Mulgore to rest. I thought of my first years and all my adventures and pondered what would come in the days ahead. With nightfall approaching, I found a hut and bedded down until morning."
