"What was that shadow? What trick is the Alliance playing?" General Nazgrel believed the monster Captain Doren had become was the Alliance's witchcraft!
Facing General Nazgrel's confusion, Taran Zhu explained, "Your enemy has been controlled by a dark energy called the Sha. The Sha can grow through negative emotions such as doubt."
Then Shado-Pan leader Taran Zhu let out a sigh. "I have not seen it manifest so strongly in many years."
"You again, Master Taran Zhu. I suppose you have now witnessed the Alliance's arrogance." General Nazgrel had not expected Taran Zhu to appear again so soon.
"That is why our Warchief ordered us to show goodwill toward the Pandaren of Pandaria while eliminating any Alliance forces we encounter. They have come to conquer this land."
Shado-Pan leader Taran Zhu still did not trust the Horde and did not wish to accept its aid. "Without your help, we have survived on this land for tens of thousands of years. We do not fear battle. Though our warriors are few, every one of them is highly skilled. We do not wish to enter a war, but no one can take the land that belongs to the Pandaren."
General Nazgrel later relayed all of Shado-Pan leader Taran Zhu's words to Chen Stormstout.
"Perhaps ten thousand years of isolation have made my people distrust others. That is quite a problem. Perhaps I should seek out a more open-minded sage." Taran Zhu was so exclusionary and unwilling to accept the Horde's goodwill that Chen could only seek help elsewhere.
