Linnaea paced softly, boots whispering in the grass, pointed ears alert for any sound of the Alliance while her Fel-Green eyes scanned for any sign of intrusion.
She'd been camped in this out-of-the-way section of Arathi basin for days, watching for the first indicators of an alliance attack. Living a silent existence without flame and with precious little comforts to betray her presence. It was a necessary duty, and one that most of her Blood elven compatriots would have spurned. (Most of her kin turned those stealthy talents to personal gain rather than using them to fight for the Horde as a whole.) But she enjoyed it in her own way, appreciating the solitude to some degree. Perhaps she was a little closer to high elven bloodline than most, and perhaps that was what gave her that ability to be still and quiet rather than always moving, always taking.
Then again, perhaps it was just how Linnaea was...
A sound out of place stirred her from her silent introspection and her head whipped left, then right, seeking the source. A faint tang of mana was in the air, tickling at her nostrils, a little spark of energy through her. Mage... There was a caster in the area, arcane to the core where are you... She turned, sticking close to the tree, ready to leap and hide herself amongst it's branches. If she was caught, whoever found her would have to die. Word of her presence could not be allowed to make it back to alliance lines, or the ambush the rest of the horde forces in the basin were preparing would be all for naught.
