Alright then... starting at the beginning is so predictable, so I'm going to start in the middle... with my first wife.
I'd completed my training two years past and was off into the world to adventure, leaving behind my love (who later became my second wife, but I'll get to that). I recall the first time I stepped onto a boat, which was just moments before the first time I stepped off a boat. I've since learned to swim and have overcome that silly fear of large brittle object that easily burn when hit with pirate bombardment floating on huge expanses of water that harbor creatures that would make even Thrall wet himself.
Where was I? Right... I traveled far and wide sharing my great knowledge with those who would listen, and sometimes to those who wouldn't. Alright, never mind... it sounded cool, but let's face it... I went on a bender. I mean come on, first time away from home? stuck in training with stuffy elders for ten years?! I was ready to PAHTAY! I found this tribe of trolls that live near Moonglade (though I didn't know about Moonglade then) and they throw the best parties! Invite only though, you really have to know who to talk to... or who to bribe. In my case a few of the elementals in that area owed me a favor or two.
Well I wasn't the only tauren at this party, I was struck dumb when I saw her.... never before had I seen a woman of ANY species that... that talented. There she was beneath a barrel of troll grog, laying on her back, hooves a little up in the air, a hose running from the barrel to her mouth. I instantly fell in love.
The rest of the night was a blur, so was the morning and most of the afternoon following. But when the hangover finally cleared I found that Kinati and I had shared a bit more than a drink. Menawa was born a few weeks after our wedding.
Author's Note: Kinati and Menawa were invented as a tie-in for the player Onatak to become part of the Brightmoon Family
