Ice and shadow
“Khaz’goroth on a cracker!”
“Beli, such language!” Ringo Flinthammer was shocked. “You ne’er talk like that.”
“I can’t see a thing in this blizzard. Are you sure Rusty knows where he’s going?”
“Aye, he was raised in the Storm Peaks. He knows these mountains and Icecrown Glacier even when he cannae see them hisself. He’ll get us to this Scott person. (Honestly, what sort o’ name is ‘Scott,’ anyway?)”
“Scott the Merciful is a psychopomp. He may be able to tell us why I can’t bring back Kildris from the dead.”
“Only a psycho would have a name like ‘Scott.'”
“Again, a psychopomp is one who helps in the transition between life and death.”
“In that case, mah rifle is a psychopomp, too!”
“Scott stayed here at the Argent Dawn base to study the undead and death and dying. I couldn’t sit around like the the useless wet farts at the Netherlight Temple, whose plan to deal with whatever’s blocking resurrection magic is to ‘pray harder.’ So, Northrend and Scott the Merciful.”
“Even though he’s a psycho.”
Beli sighed.
“At least the blizzard’s letting up. Ringo! Look at the sky!”
“Khaz’goroth on a cracker!”
