Thrall stood in the rain, letting it fall on his broad green shoulders and stream down his arms, soaking him through.
Ancestors above, what had happened?
"Have Eitrigg and Muln Earthfury come see me," Thrall told one of the Bodyguards beside him.
Thrall pondered. Recent events had grown increasingly abnormal, and the disasters seemed to be spreading. With omens like these, Orgrimmar had to be fully prepared.
Perhaps because of the fire, the sounds of firefighting had disturbed the two of them. Though it was night, Eitrigg and Muln Earthfury soon arrived before Thrall.
"You've heard about what's been happening lately, haven't you?" Thrall said to Muln. The latter was the leader of the Earthen Ring, and as a leader of Shamans, Muln must have noticed something. "The elements seem to be behaving unusually. They're gripped by an inexplicable fury."
"I'm coming to believe Drek'Thar's words more and more. Perhaps the elements really will rise up in the future."
Muln stated his position outright. It seemed the recent elemental disturbances were certainly no coincidence.
"I need all the Shamans of the Earthen Ring to find the cause. We absolutely cannot stand by and ignore the elemental disturbances."
"I will, but..." Muln recalled that something had seemed strange within the Earthen Ring recently. Some Shamans seemed uninterested in balancing the elements and were instead actively searching for something.
"But what?" Thrall and Muln were old friends, and Muln would not hide anything from Thrall. Yet under the present circumstances, Thrall had keenly sensed something as well.
"There may be a problem within the Earthen Ring. I'll handle it," Muln promised outright. A plan took shape in his mind. And those "special" Shamans-just what secrets are you hiding?
"Mm." Thrall naturally trusted Muln completely.
After Muln left, only Eitrigg and Thrall remained.
