Once again I ventured out today to train as a priest in the field. Again it only took a short while to progress from level 5 to level 10, but during this time I learned a few good lessons.
1. My holy powers are slowly becoming stronger.
2. Those of two levels higher than myself can often defeat me if I'm not careful.
3. Dying is horrible, trying to reconnect my soul with my body is worse.
4. All this errand walking is making my feet ache, and takes a good portion of my time to travel from place to place. A mount must be purchased as soon as I'm deemed ready for such a beast.
I find the world outside of the orphanage to be full of pain, and yet so full of beauty. I was sent into the Dead Scar on several missions today, and while it cannot be saved from the damage that Arthas has caused, I still yearn to cleanse it and bring it back to its original beauty. If only I could make the people there return to their proper sanity and make the grass grow green again! Despite this horrible mark upon Quel'Thalas, there are still many golden trees to sit under and beautiful golden dragonhawks to watch. I'm also fascinated with the architecture of my people. What cleaver beings us Sin'dorei are!
Today my journeys not only took me across the lands of my people, but I ended up venturing into the fabled Silvermoon City. So bustling, so beautiful! There I was able to choose my professions, and for now I shall be an enchanter. While I love the thought of engineering, I may eventually choose to pick up tailoring instead. Also while I was in our great capital, I was able to speak to a while priest who taught me some new spells. While some of these spells are a bit shadowy in nature, which makes me highly uncomfortable, I find my new found knowledge a blessing.
After I had finished with my training, I spent many hours in the Bazaar and the Royal Exchange shopping for goods. Sadly I didn't have enough gold to purchase much, but a kind death knight troll lent me five gold. He introduced himself as Drazzu, and told me that some day great things would come of me. I thanked him kindly and he set off on his journey to the Undercity. I'm not quite sure what the basis this troll has to predict my future, but I certainly hope he is right. I also hope to one day run into this kind soul again.
I still feel as though the priesthood may not help out in my mission to help my sister, but even though my tasks thus far have been mundane, I'm starting to get a stirring within. Perhaps I do have some talent in dealing with all things holy after all, and it's just waiting to be fully discovered. Maybe.
Again, it has become late and I'm told that I shall need my strength and whit for what is to come. Tonight I sleep in a lavish bed in an inn in our glorious Silvermoon City.

The Beginning
Well, today started my journey into my new life as a priest. All day I've been told of the hardships I must face, and of the things I must sustain from. I've been told by many to resist my urge for arcane magics in between my errands of "go fetch this" or "go kill that." While I may be able to smite mana worms with the best of them, I have yet to feel very priestly. I thought my training would more consist of books and practicing holy spells on my teachers...instead I'm left feeling more like an errand girl for cheap hire.
Perhaps the priesthood is a joke. In a few short hours I was able to advance in training through level 5, and seeing how there is only currently 80 different levels, I should be a so called holy "expert" within a few days time. I just don't feel the positive power inside me yet. Will I ever?
If the priesthood fails me, how am I ever to save my sister's soul from her wicked ways? Gypsy was once a wonderful mage, the top of her class and excellent at manipulating the arcane. Her demons consumed her though, and her obsession of fel energies has taken her over. Now she chants in demon tongues and summons the fires of hell itself. She's my only family I have...what if my holy endeavors aren't able to save her? This must work. I have my doubts thus far, but this must work!
Perhaps it is time to rest. I feel I have yet to accomplish anything, but I'm told that I will need my strength.
Shorel'aran.
