While we do enjoy going off on wild tangents or thinking about "what if," sometimes it's important to just go back to the crucial source material. The specific writing in-game can not only work to create a vibrant world, but with careful study, can inform the overall trajectory of what you can expect to come. WoW is no different, so today we're taking a look at a set of perhaps overlooked, but no less beloved, sets of writing from the game. We hope you enjoy.

I'm filling in this week for our regular hosts Joe and Matt this week we will
1:31
finally give you what we all know you have long wanted from us even though you have been perhaps a bit too shy to ask
1:39
much like Joe and Matt were too shy to undertake this project at least that's what I interpreted from their um refusal
1:48
of my suggestion anyway tonight we're going back to our roots after all what is more
1:55
crucial to lore than reading we hope you enjoy or maybe I should say I hope you
2:02

novel as Nani glided up the grizzled warrior gave her a hard
2:15
stare i suppose you're here to collect the reward for killing those
2:20
murlocs her eyes wandered down to the glowing broadsword at his side that depends on what the reward is
2:28
Marcus she twirled her hair playfully pretending not to notice how he shifted
2:33
uncomfortably in her presence i may not want it marcus stepped toward her bristling
2:42
with a mixture of fear and anger the reward is not
2:47
negotiable he paused for a moment while gathering his nerve and pressed himself
2:53
against her dimminuative form their lips met hotly melting her frost armor spell
2:59
in a torrent of sweltering vapor so is there another step to this quest
3:07
she teased her eyes glittering with excitement this goes on for several
3:13
hundred more pages without advancing the plot a steamy romance novel forbidden
3:21
love atusa crept silently through the massive underground tunnel nervously
3:27
looking over her shoulder in anticipation of the fastm moving tram
3:32
where is he?" she muttered angrily stopping suddenly as something moved
3:39
behind her her eyes narrowed dangerously as her dagger slid from its
3:44
sheath a husky voice echoed in the hollow chamber i thought rogues liked to be
3:51
behind their target she spun quickly driving her blade into the shield of impenetrable
3:58
force and I thought paladins were supposed to be chased," she replied with
4:04
a confident smirk leaning forward she counted out loud until the invisible
4:09
bubble dissipated with an audible pop 12 seconds i know you have abilities
4:16
that last longer than that bony fingers worked effortlessly
4:22
beneath his armor unlatching his breastplate and exposing him to the cold air
4:28
don't worry my sweet Marcus that's not a finishing move tonight i'm just getting
4:35
started he wrapped his arms around what remained of her waist forcing an excited
4:41
giggle as he nibbled at her neck vertebra the rest of the book has several sections that are apparently
4:47
worn out from repeated readings a steamy romance novel Northern
4:54
Exposure the tiny gnome peered over the railing
5:00
into the secluded dollar courtyard the view from the balcony is amazing you have to come
5:06
see armor leg plates creaked as Marcus walked over taking in a deep breath as
5:12
he absently scratched his scruffy chin the hero's welcome is no slouch and
5:19
there's something in the room that might interest you tavi bounded into the room pausing only
5:26
a moment before jumping onto the massive bed she turned to gaze at Marcus with
5:31
her huge saucer-like eyes narrowing them playfully and replacing her glowing
5:36
smile with a diabolical grin "interested in some more company," she purrred as
5:44
her hands weaved through a complex summoning ritual stopping only when she felt the warmth of a new presence behind
5:51
her all color drained from Marcus' face as he struggled to
5:56
protest i I don't think that's appropriate confused Tavi turned to see
6:04
what was wrong a hideous fell hound stood ready drooling onto the floor as
6:10
it stared intently at the halfarmored paladin "no no that's not what I meant,"
6:16
she stammered as she dispelled the hungry minion i'm sorry that's not really my
6:23
specialization marcus took both her hands in one of his as he reassured her it's
6:29
fine what's your specialization her head snapped up eyes
6:35
burning with renewed life as shadowy energy channeled through her hands into Marcus dropping him to his knees in
6:43
agony affliction actually gritting his teeth Marcus gestured as
6:51
light flashed over him restoring his strength tavi stared anxiously as he
6:57
rose to his full height engulfing her in his shadow he thrust his hand forward
7:04
sending a wave of righteous force through her eyes rolled back as she wavered for several seconds before
7:11
regaining consciousness i've recently taken the path of
7:18
retribution the mischievous smirk returned to her face well then this is
7:25
going to be fun the remaining pages have a level 999 requirement to
7:31
read a steamy romance novel Blue
7:37
Moon tails swooshing and hips swaying the curvy figure walked purposefully
7:44
across the lake toward the man resting by the shore rising quickly as she approached he appeared visibly happy to
7:53
be in her presence blue arms flowed over his shoulders as a smooth tail coiled
8:00
seductively around his waist "why must I travel so far to be
8:05
meeting men like you?" her voice carried a strong alluring accent
8:12
grinning wildly he gently pushed her away openly staring as the light caught
8:18
her features "up here," she exclaimed in playful anger with a helpless shrug he
8:26
reached into his pack and pulled out a small pouch "my wonderful Sula I've brought
8:33
you something." Confidence wrapped his words like a steel blanket
8:39
she plucked the tiny bag from his hands excitedly pulling it open and revealing
8:44
a citrine pendant "oh Marcus you shouldn't
8:50
have." The usual teasing was gone from his voice every facet lights the sky and
8:57
my heart with your beautiful reflection sula frowned "uh no i meant
9:06
you really shouldn't have i could craft something better by accident for the first time possibly
9:12
ever Marcus looked hurt his shoulders slumped slightly the cocky everpresent
9:19
grin missing from his handsome face sula opened her mouth to speak smiling warmly
9:26
a glowing rune appeared above her eyes i don't think I can mend your
9:31
feelings even with my gift despite the statement her words seemed
9:37
to do the trick marcus smirked roguishly as he adjusted his leg
9:42
plates well you aren't the only gifted
9:48
one silence penetrated the room with palpable force as the conversation shifted to the language shared by all
9:55
races of Azeroth minutes became hours until their passionate dialogue was interrupted by
10:03
lightning streaking from the cloudless sky thunderously slamming into the lake surface and bathing them in
10:11
steam is something wrong marcus asked no my Marcus you're just off to a great
10:20
start the remaining pages have been thoroughly destroyed by the elements
10:27
a steamy romance novel big brass
10:33
bombs the tough little goblin walked purposefully into the engineering shop raising her eyebrows at a few items as
10:40
she approached the shopkeeper "how's it going Jack?" Her voice seductively
10:46
brushed his pointy ears with a rough texture of someone who inhaled too much motorcycle exhaust
10:53
the goblin called Jack looked up and grinned "revy it's going much better since you just arrived." Jack set his
11:00
ark spanner on the table "what can I do you fool?" Holding her elbow in one hand
11:07
Revy tapped her chin lightly "i'm not real sure you got any specials are you
11:14
kidding i've got the best deals anywhere," Jack replied enthusiastically "just got these in this morning all
11:20
sorts of colors small red rockets got some in blue and green too revy's disappointed look was not
11:27
missed by the expert shopkeeper and he quickly upped the ante there was a loud
11:33
thud as Jack dropped something on the table "i call it the big one," he said
11:40
"it's goblin only very difficult to find." "Nice very nice," Revy said
11:47
sounding unconvinced her eyes wandered a bit okay fine i can see you're a goblin
11:54
of superb taste jack looked around conspiratorally before carefully laying out a new item
12:02
buckling the table with an ominous creek it's called Jack paused for dramatic
12:12
effect the big one revy's eyes widened in surprise
12:19
is there is it real feeling the advantage Jack allowed
12:26
himself to relax a bit putting his hands behind his head and leaning back in his
12:31
chair he replied with lazily narrowed eyes "it's 100% goblin pots baby natural
12:38
resources." After a moment of hesitation Revy
12:45
reached out and gingerely stroked the smooth yellow surface i'll take
12:51
two excellent you know if you like that you might be interested in some hardened adamantite tubes they can enhance the
13:01
effect revie nodded excitedly and looked behind Jack at something on the wall
13:06
what is that jack looked over her shoulder oh those are for reviving dead
13:13
people revy was intrigued can they be used on someone when they're still
13:19
alive never wanting to miss a sale Jack responded without missing a beat "Oh
13:25
sure tell you what you get all this stuff I'll throw in a pair of mayhem projection goggles for half
13:32
price." Revy pulled out a sack of coins that made Jack drool why not motorcycle
13:38
sales have been good this year as Jack quickly tallied the total he
13:43
asked "This must be a serious ray or something." RVY shrugged "Nah I got a
13:50
blind date with a guy named Marcus tonight." Jack nodded "what about that guy from the
13:56
motor club you was dating?" The leatherclad goblin scooped up her bag with one arm and held up an outstretched
14:03
hand he never put a ring on it girls got to have her priorities
14:08
jack smiled and shook his head as he watched her walk out of the shop the
14:13
remaining pages require a secret goblin Dakota ring to
14:19
read a steamy romance novel hot and
14:25
misty marcus galloped on his warhorse toward the remote building bringing an
14:30
almost imperceptible flush to one of the curvier guards as he passed he
14:36
dismounted and handed his reigns to the everpresent stable master placing one hand on her shoulder before speaking
14:43
"kama have you considered our last conversation?" Marcus asked furrowing
14:49
his eyebrows in mock seriousness kama rolled her eyes her pandaran markings exaggerating the
14:56
movement "i doubt my lifemate would think much of it." Marcus let out a bellowing laugh looking
15:04
over his shoulder as he walked away i'd still like to meet her one
15:09
day the tavern in the mists was unusually crowded and he pushed his way
15:15
through the crowd until he stood in the shadows of a dark corner an exotic voice per his name
15:22
marcus it is good to see you again marcus smiled and squinted as his
15:28
eyes adjusted to the absence of light madame Goya the pleasure is all
15:33
mine." She tipped a polite bow marcus felt a sudden warmth as he was reminded
15:39
of why the term bouncy was often used to describe the pandarin he bowed in kind
15:47
catching Madame Goya's hand and kissing it gently never shifting his gaze from the hulking bodyguard standing behind
15:54
her a single scar between his watchful eyes so Marcus can I interest you in
16:01
something special i'm afraid the usual cannot be offered
16:07
today marcus did not miss her emphasis on the usual nor the deep regret that
16:14
laced her words their eyes met once again and she squeezed his hand before
16:19
letting go if that is your will may I see what you have to offer
16:27
there are several magnificent pieces of armor a tiny companion and even an
16:33
exotic mount Madame Goya answered her typical playfulness quickly returning
16:40
she paused and held a hand to her chin figning thoughtfulness but my most valuable
16:46
treasures are located upstairs marcus' eyebrows lifted comically and
16:54
his eyes widened before his expression settled into gleeful acceptance "until we meet again,"
17:01
then?" Her eyes fluttered and Marcus found himself walking up the stairs of the strange
17:08
tavern waiting in the room at the top were two beings of such beauty that he
17:14
nearly stumbled on the final step one had long flowing hair the color of
17:19
the Sunwell itself and the other kept her ebban hair cropped short after
17:25
several long moments of wordless lustfilled glances a realization struck
17:31
him he was looking into the face of the enemy he unshathed his mighty sword
17:37
bathing the blood elves in its pulsating glow the elf with a radiant hair spoke
17:43
first goodness it looks like someone is ready for battle she placed her hand on the
17:50
tip of his sword lowering it with gentle pressure as she crossed in front of him
17:55
always keeping her head cocked in his direction do you believe in love at
18:01
first sight or should I walk by again marcus leaned in close carelessly
18:07
pressing the hardened steel against her he whispered something quietly in her ear and pulled away eagerly searching
18:15
her face for a reaction "no no I won't do that but my sister will," the blonde
18:23
giggled the dark-haired one silently raised a single eyebrow nodding and
18:28
shrugging her delicate shoulders at the same time with a subtle gesture her body
18:33
glowed with an intense inner fire burning away what little clothing she wore as Marcus' muscular arms wrapped
18:42
around her she whispered something to him a symbol unseen by Marcus
18:48
momentarily appeared above his head and surrounded him in a white glow that that
18:54
feels amazing what did you do he asked fortitude my lord you will need it it
19:01
was then that he noticed that she was literally levitating off the ground weightless in his arms his mind began to
19:08
spin as countless scenarios played out in his head his strong hands began to
19:16
The remaining pages are shrouded in mist steamy romance novel i'm in love
19:22
with a robot that's too much for the oil to
19:29
read a steamy romance novel savage
19:34
passions a trail of dust followed the once white stallion as he galloped
19:40
through the garrison gates stopping abruptly at the stables raven the stable
19:45
master rushed to the weary mount and rider lord Marcus let me help raven's
19:52
strong tanned arm took the rider's hand in his own putting him off in a quick
19:58
smooth motion he did not immediately let go staring in disbelief at the paladin's
20:04
heavily stained armor seeing concern on the man's face Marcus clasped his shoulder and smiled
20:11
warmly "fear not old friend only a little of it is my own raven hugged him
20:17
fiercely." "That is good to hear." "Yes yes I'm fine the journey was long and
20:24
often hard but I have returned victorious Marcus exclaimed as he pulled
20:29
a bulging sack from beneath his armor placing it gingerly in Raven's rough
20:35
steady hands the inquisitive stable master cupped the bag squeezing gently to
20:41
discern the contents without unwrapping the package "don't be koi you know what's in
20:48
there but I have something even better for you Marcus said with a knowing smile
20:54
raven closed his eyes he held out his hands and spoke calmly "give it to me
21:01
please." His arms flexed slightly as he felt something heavy strangely warm and
21:08
smooth along its length oh this is h
21:13
familiar okay yes i know that part an enchanted
21:19
sword raven released the glowing weapon from one hand letting it swing in front
21:25
of him marcus looked down and raised his eyebrows "i'm glad you like it certainly
21:30
not the first you've held." "Never one like this," Raven replied with a wink
21:37
"we need to work on that grip it's too tight perhaps you have time for some
21:42
practice," Marcus asked peering into Raven's dark brown eyes
21:48
raven grinned i'll go tie up your
21:53
horse the remaining pages are not yet written it appears to be a work in
21:59
progress steamy romance novel got milk so there I was surrounded by at
22:06
least 100 murlocs the heavy mustached man proclaimed gesturing in a wide ark
22:14
the Tawny Torin gasped in amazement "whatever did you do?" Her
22:21
voice had a brrawy muscular tone to it "the only thing I could do my lovely."
22:27
Marcus patted the sword resting on his thigh "i brought them to
22:33
justice." "Oh with just a dagger you're so brave." Tanda cautiously reached for
22:41
the blade but pulled her hand away at the last second marcus bristled "What
22:47
this is a two-handed sword enchanted to the hilt perhaps not as big as you've seen but I know a few tricks to really
22:55
make it sing." Tanda smiled demurly fluttering
23:00
her enormous eyelashes she picked up one piece of cheese and held it close to Marcus' lips "try this it's
23:09
homemade the handsome paladins stammered no I'm I'm lactose
23:16
intolerant tanda placed the cheese back in the bowl oh are you sure does that
23:22
mean you can't tolerate me the buxom torren stepped forward pressing herself
23:29
against Marcus the substantial height difference placed his face squarely in her chest unable to see he flailed in
23:37
protest finally finding purchase on her firm backside his muffled apologetic
23:43
sounds only made her giggle and squeeze him more tightly just as his other hand found her
23:50
tail the light dimmed as an imposing figure moved into the doorway "what
23:56
the!" Tanda exclaimed "Backs no!" Marcus pulled his head away and gasped
24:04
for air looking at the angry Torin with wide eyes it's not what it looks like
24:11
bax charged ramming into Marcus while uttering his challenge you mess with a bull you get the
24:17
horns marcus reeled and caught himself digging his heel into the dirt seizing a
24:23
horn in each hand he held the horn torin's head down fighting against his
24:29
tremendous strength max forced his head up grunting and
24:34
spitting in anger only to have it repeatedly pushed down they locked eyes
24:39
for a moment and with a final heave of explosive force backs wrenched himself
24:45
free the powerful Torin swung his arms out wide as if to crush Marcus in a
24:50
mighty hug "blades of light," proclaimed the paladin a huge pulsating sword
24:58
thrust up from the ground between the two combatants tearing through armor and clothing searing the thick chest hair of
25:05
Marcus and cutting a fine line into the Torin's muscular chest before they could
25:11
move again Tanda raised her hoofed leg into the air and brought it down with a warlike force the man and Bull wobbled
25:20
clearly stunned "stop it both of you." Marcus regained his composure and looked
25:26
at Tanda and then to backs fur was ruffled and the bare parts of their
25:32
leathery skin glistened with sweat as they all stared one another down the
25:37
ridiculously good-looking Marcus spoke "well since we're mostly undressed
25:44
already," the story goes on but your good taste prevents you from reading it
25:52
a steamy romance novel of elven bondage the weight of his fist crashed
26:00
into the side of the ogre's face with a meaty thunk the bulbous goon teetered
26:06
for a moment like a marionette cut loose from its strings before falling into a heap at top his unconscious sibling the
26:14
Dreto brothers may have been feared throughout the land but the courage of Sir Crispen Greymane had won the day
26:20
once again the brave hero had no time to pause and admire his handiwork not when the lady
26:27
moonshade remained shackled to the wall greymane stroed to her side each step as
26:34
graceful as a ram of Dun Maro you are unheard my lady i trust these brutes did
26:40
not cause you harm she breathed a relieved sigh as he broke away the bonds that held wrists
26:47
and ankles your swift arrival saw to that noble champion," she answered the night elf's
26:54
glowing eyes beamed upon him like stars on a cloudless night the greatest
27:00
suffering was enduring the ogre's leerous glances my leather armor was damaged during my capture and several
27:07
pieces seemed to have fallen away she made a half-hearted attempt to cover the barness of her toaut
27:14
midriff of course a knight performing his duty would not notice such a quandry
27:19
he assured her taking her hand and lightly massaging her bruised wrist as she rose to her
27:25
feet standing her full height Lady Moonshade was at least three heads taller than her savior if not more she
27:33
puzzled at him for a moment "forgive me good sir but I cannot discern if you are
27:39
the shortest human I have ever met or the tallest dwarf." His white teeth
27:44
flashed through the thickness of his beard like snow caps on a mountain ridge i like to think I'm the best of both
27:50
good lady he gestured toward the doorway a spacious carriage awaits to convey you
27:56
back home i assure you my driver will not disturb us as I personally see to
28:02
your recovery i will do my best to ensure the ride is to your liking a playful smile danced about her
28:09
lips i hope I can rely upon your driver's discretion i fear the rest of
28:15
my fragile armor might fall away at any moment the ruggedly handsome knight
28:20
bowed and flashed a confident wink why my dear i'm positively counting on it oh
28:27
sir Greymane she swooned falling into his arms he guided her toward the
28:33
waiting coach stepping over the unconscious ogres on the floor
28:38
the story continues for many more chapters laden with vehicle
28:44
metaphors a steamy romance novel Nightborn of the Living
28:49
Dead she accepted the chalice of wine with a bat of her long eyelashes "i
28:55
really shouldn't Lord Graves Bane my mother would never approve." "Nonsense
29:01
my dear Alonia," the nobleman answered "you are 10,000 years old i'm sure your
29:07
mother would forgive you for indulging just this once she giggled it's not the wine my
29:14
lord rather it's the notion of a nightborn spending her evening in the company of someone so charming he
29:23
offered i was going to say decrepit my morals are not quite that far gone I
29:30
assure you he replied his good eye drifting up and down the length of her flowing gown i am sure your mother would
29:38
find me most endearing oh would I said asked a sharp
29:44
voice crispen Gravesbane turned to see another nightborn framed within the doorway although her attire was less
29:51
inviting than her daughters her face and body were a mirror of Alonia's own he
29:56
approached and bowed hastily kicking aside the kneecap that clattered to the floor "i am Lord Crispen Gresbane at
30:05
your service do I have the honor of meeting Lady Marina?" "You do?" she
30:11
answered coldly casting a harsh glance toward Alonia "i fear you are toying
30:17
with me good lady," he smiled careful to hold his jaw in place surely you must be
30:24
Alonia's sister not her mother a faint blush flashed across Lady Marina's
30:31
cheeks you flatter me my lord her voice softened it has been centuries since
30:38
anyone has mistaken us for siblings nonsense he insisted taking her
30:44
hand and guiding her toward the couch he sat down between the two indigos skinned
30:50
elves perhaps after we share a bit of wine we'll find out out what else you
30:56
and your daughter have in common oh Lord Graves Bane Marina swooned she took
31:02
Alonia's hand sharing a fertive smile with her daughter perhaps it's time we
31:08
introduced you to the true secrets of the Shaldori subsequent pages seem to have
31:14
been scribbled over in nightborn profanities
31:20
a steamy romance novel waves of desire lord Graves Bane stared out
31:27
through the port hole watching the waves rise and fall in time with the aching that tormented him inside how long had
31:35
she kept him waiting here in the cabin of his luxury schooner he felt the keen
31:40
edge of his desire growing more insistent spurring his impatience at last the cabin door swung
31:48
open she paused in the doorway torch light playing about the hem of her low
31:54
cut silken gown as the shadows danced upon her pale synindorai skin "am I late
32:00
my lord?" she asked chewing on the fullness of her lower lip he found himself speechless as his
32:08
jaw dropped to the floor he knelt to pick it up rising as he snapped it back
32:13
into place some things are worth waiting for Lady Sunskin he held out his hand beckoning
32:21
her closer for a moment a look of uncertainty crossed the highborn's bow
32:27
her shallow breaths hung heavy with hesitation and longing she brushed her
32:33
fingertips across the cold palid skin of his cheek "i hope your desiccation
32:39
doesn't hinder your enthusiasm Lord Graves Bane." He took her hand and kissed it with his
32:46
one good lip "fear not my darling my jaw isn't what it used to be but my tongue
32:52
remains as limber as ever." "Oh Lord Graves Bane," she swooned falling into
32:58
his arms he relished the warmth of her skin as he guided her toward the leather
33:03
harness hanging over his bed "the story continues for many more
33:09
chapters laden with port hole puns a steamy romance novel Stormy
33:18
Seas oh this one's been signed nice marcus awoke with a grunt squinting
33:25
to make out the dark shadows around him he was sitting on a cold wooden floor
33:31
and the air was ripe with a scent of a long night the room rocked back and
33:36
forth "or was that just a hangover." "Where am I?" he mumbled to
33:42
himself a sultry laugh echoed as a strong shapely figure moved towards him
33:49
marcus rubbed his eyes and focused his senses she smelled of leather salt and
33:56
exotic spices as he looked into the woman's steel gray eyes he became aware of the
34:03
bars between them "am I in a cell?" he thought to
34:09
himself is this one of Madame Goya's rooms he mused further you're in the
34:15
brig in case you haven't figured it out the voluuptuous pirate stated with more than a hint of amusement marcus stood
34:23
shakily composing himself with a roguish smirk before speaking i knew that it's the Brig on a
34:31
ship i'm on a ship of course the woman leaned in closer gripping the bars with
34:37
surprising intensity yes on a ship at full mast apparently
34:44
she added with a flirtatious glance down and then back up at his face marcus grinned in response bowing
34:52
close enough to whisper through the bars half masked although the winds seemed to
34:58
be strengthening he blew gently catching
35:03
the thick black hair and the seductive currents of his breath she pulled away
35:08
with a fleeting glance of reluctance i'm just here to see if you wanted dinner she forced a stale piece
35:16
of bread through the bars marcus plucked the morsel from her hand i don't want
35:22
anything hard right now he dropped the rigid roll and took her hand tracing a
35:29
line from her calloused fingers to the anchor tattooed on her forearm do you have any culture fair
35:37
i've heard it's famous for its succulence a rare pleasure to the
35:43
tongue a silence followed his words interrupted by the sound of the cell door creaking open and a cutless
35:50
clattering to the floor marcus silently pointed to a blaying pin on the far wall
35:56
and raised an eyebrow the broad shouldered woman purred "Oh I'd never
36:02
have you pegged for that." The rest of the book takes a dive into turbulent seas of
36:10
passion about the author Noah Scribson has traveled Azeroth in search of unique
36:15
inspiration for his characters and stories he claims that research is the key to genuine
36:21
storytelling and is always willing to go to great lengths in finding the right
36:26
muse a steamy romance novel the Lusty
36:33
Draconian Mage oh nice this one's signed again oh by Noah Scribesson again that
36:40
guy surrounded on all sides by ravening cultists our brave hero Marcus finds
36:46
himself in a situation even his formidable skills and bulging muscles cannot overcome
36:53
as the horde closed in for the final blow sensing that even his legendary stamina had run low he stealed himself
37:00
to take as many of them with him as possible "come on then," he quipped
37:06
manfully unafraid even in the face of certain doom "don't keep me
37:12
waiting." Just as their charge was about to hit home the world erupted into searing heat and blazing light as the
37:20
flames receded and the firestorm passed Marcus found himself standing alone
37:25
blinking in a field of ash the crunch of fresh char and a low
37:31
feminine chuckle revealed the presence of his savior turning he found himself
37:36
approached by a vision as beautious as his prior situation had been grim
37:42
wrapped in a daringly cut robe that clung tightly to her bosom and revealed much of her flawless if unusually red
37:50
tinged skin the figure picked her way across the charred ground her fig
37:56
fingers deftly sliding along the shaft of what was unmistakably a mage's staff
38:02
as she idily stroked it thank you my lady," Marcus said as he bowed his eyes
38:09
trailing along her shapely legs past her wide hips and taut core and lingering
38:15
upon ample chest as he slowly straightened before reaching a face that was as lovely as it was unconcerned by
38:23
the destruction she just unleashed a pair of sweeping horns topped her form
38:31
only adding to the heady mix of grandeur and danger "it seemed a waste to lose such a
38:39
fine heroic specimen as yourself to this rabble," she responded her gaze
38:45
wandering as unabashedly as his you showed imp such impressive skill
38:52
and stamina during the battle that I could not help but intervene," she said
38:58
her skin flushing an even richer shade of red as her inspection continued
39:04
if there is anything I or Drake Piercer here he stated subtly flexing his
39:10
muscles toned from years of adventuring as she sheathed his long blade home with
39:16
a single thrust can do for you we are in your
39:21
debt anything," she replied huskfully her bount chest straining against the scant
39:29
confinement her robe provided even as her yellow eyes twinkled mischievously
39:35
at the naming of his sword "anything," he confirmed i never
39:41
leave a debt unsatisfied," he continued raising a
39:46
callous hand to gently stroke the generous curves of her impressive rack
39:52
feeling the rough texture of her horns scrape along his skin
39:58
shuddering lightly at his touch she licked her full lips pursing them
40:04
enticingly for a long moment before blowing a stream of crimson fire out
40:09
across our hero shocked Marcus felt not the searing pain
40:15
he had expected but a gentle invigorating warmth as the tongues of
40:20
flame licked across his chiseled body burning away his roadstained leathers
40:26
but only caressing the tanned flesh beneath much better she purred slowly
40:34
eyeing him from top to bottom the breath of a red dragon can bring life as easily
40:40
as take it i trust my flame has not harmed you on the contrary Marcus
40:47
replied as her hot breath played teasingly across his skin i feel
40:54
positively engorged with life stepping forward she pressed her heaving frame
41:01
against the knight grabbing his newly bared sword by the hilt
41:06
appreciatively let's see about your weapon earning its name then
41:12
hero the book quickly abandons even the flimsy excuse for a plot it had maintained up to this point
41:20
about the author noah Scribes has traveled Azeroth in search of unique
