Over the hills and far away. . .

So far, Ter'thelas had been avoiding the Sensoriums. What he'd heard of them had been mildly disturbing. A room of illusions. It all sounded too much like that human's tower, Karazhan. Still, he decided he ought to at least investigate them once. So he had entered the Sensorium with a package from the planet they'd left under his arm, summoned up an image long gone by now. A wonderous cityscape in whites, gold and reds, fine brick and mortar, curving architecture stretching towards the sky, open spaces and grand arches. The city of Silvermoon. He'd even included a few of the magical brooms that wandered the city, sweeping it clean.

Almost reverently, he unwrapped what he'd brought. An expertly wrought viola in a cherry-red wood. He lifted it, tuned it by his ear, and then, began to play. A sad, almost mournful melody filled the simulated city, as Ter'thelas, eyes closed tightly, played a dirge for his people for the second time in his life.

He had a hunch about Ter'thelas, and decided to ask about it. "In Azeroth? It's lovely."

"Yes, in Azeroth. How did you know?" He cocked his head, looking at Zouichi curiously.

"I assume you've run into some other Azerothians."

"I didn't. But I have met Alastirra, another Azerothian. You don't look terribly alike, but I don't think I've run into anyone else with glowing eyes on the ship." He brought his hands up to mimic the smooth curve of her backswept horns.

There was something else, but he wasn't quite sure what. "She mentioned there were quite a few sentient species there, not like on Earth."

"A Draenei, then." He shrugged. No skin off his nose if she was. Not like the war particularly mattered here, anyway.

"Oh yes. Several native species and at least two who had migrated there. Quite fascinating how our little speck was a magnet for people."

"Draenei?" The word sounded unfamiliar to him. Gnomes, at least, were part of old Earth folklore. "May I ask what your species is called?"

"And those non-native species, they migrated there? From other worlds? I was under the impression that Azeroth was pre-spaceflight." Or did they traverse there magically?

"Draenei, fugitives from the Burning Legion who crash landed on our planet in the Exodar, hounded by some of my people who had been corrupted to serve their enemies. It's a long story." He bowed his head.

"I am a Sin'dorei, or a Blood Elf in the human nomenclature. And yes. The Orcs are the other non-natives, and they did come here via magical means, the Dark Portal, from their home planet of Draenor. Also a long story."
