Now collapsing like the rain (Open)
Who: Valamia and open
What: Trying to shaman, now with rain showers
Where: All around the forest
When: A week around the beginning of August
Warnings: None
The Elements didn't respond to her the same in this time. Valamia had the same trouble when they first crashed into Azeroth. What little she knew at that time regarding shamanism felt like it was thrown out the window. Since arriving to this time on Azeroth she felt she same as she had then. It made her decision on what to do feel all the more strange. She was not the first person who wanted to jump up and make herself useful but she did need a distraction. That distraction was ultimately going to come in the form of attempting to keep the land and elements a pure and untainted from the Legion as possible. It may not be the boldest choice. It wasn't running headlong into the army or even removing a few imps. The task was however, was one that she truly believed she could manage. That was all that mattered to her.
And so she wondered the forest to a spot she felt or believed a pack of lowly demons had been slain. In each spot she set down two totems and sat between them. She would whisper briefly in Eredun and call upon a rain to cleanse the land. To answer her, the elements granted her that cleansing rain. It didn't encompass the forest, no it only stretched out around her for a couple yards at a time. Isolated showers weren't ideal but it did work. In time black smoke would rise up from the earth and begin to dissipate. Once the smoke stopped rising it was a sign to her that it was as close to pure was she could get it. The rain would come to a stop and she stayed seated. Considering that she was both wet and frustrated, she wasn't in any rush to get up. Her distraction wasn't leaving her to feel any better. Maybe the feeling of accomplishment for doing something for the greater good would kick in...eventually.

She does figure that answering with no, it all sounds weird to me may not be the best choice. On the other hand she didn't get this concept still of nobles and bloodlines being so important. Plenty of races on Azeroth had that mindset. Valamia had yet to get that concept. The idea of connecting to simply one element didn't make any sense either. How does one be a shaman and not hear all the elements? She wasn't curious enough to ask about it or express her lack of understanding. "About as much sense as anything else does when considering the situation." She shrugs. Why the woman cares if she understands is beyond her.

"So, is it working?" She gestured at the stuff set up around the draenei.

"What you saw means there is some form of corruption. It may not be grand but it does exist. It also poses the problem of figuring out what exactly is causing it, how to stop it and making sure it doesn't cause the elements to abandon us." Or if the worst were to come to pass, turn against them.

"Which would mean it's either the Legion... or us."

"At the moment, trying to cleanse it may be the easiest way to please the elements."
