Heeding the call of his clan member Thoak Goldhand, the son of Rasun Goldhand emerged from his dwelling. Norak sighed as he clutched the last parchment Rasun had written to his son before his sudden departure to an unknown location to meditate and feel closer to his ancestors. Stuffing the parchment into his pack, Norak made his journey toward the Goldhand meeting. Still exhausted from his last search in the wilderness for his father's meditation mountain, he'd decided that he'd trust his father's decision to leave and would have to wait for his eventual return. Upon entering the meeting room he greeted his family members for the first time in years. The last he'd seen of his family was during his father's time reconstructing Kal'Alras.
"Greetin's me famileh. Been awhile, eh?"
Norak frowns as he begins to retell the story of his father's disappearance, but he attempts to reassure everyone that his father will hopefully find a way to return when he will be needed again.
"But, hmm, ah agree, Gulroid 'as been rat'er lackin' in leadin' our clan fer' some toime. I've spoken tu' 'im recentleh, aftah ah discovered me fat'er's fate. Age beh catchin' awp tu' 'im, 'e beh teh oldest in teh clan, still livin' from teh age ov' Simppa. Onleh Rasun beh older t'en Gulroid, it be a surprise 'e can t'ink ov' goin' out awn a trek like t'at."
Norak pauses as he is overwhelmed with fear of his father's life in danger.
"Ah can onleh 'ope t'at he knew what 'e was gettin' 'imself intuh'. Now, I believe teh new leader should beh chosen by Gulroid 'imself. 'E 'as been teh onleh clan leader fer' centuries, an' if a feller' gets picked whu' does nay know old Gol'and traditions, I feel bits ov' our clan's tradition an' 'istoreh may be lost. Rasun told meh some ov' 'em but I dunnae remember much. Gulroid's choice will probableh be best fer' teh clan, unless 'e be readeh tu' make a return."
Norak takes a seat and looks around the room, glad to see familiar faces again, and looks forward to spending more time with them, now that he'd chosen to have belief in his father's choice of leaving. After some reassurance of his father's return by Gulroid, Norak could finally relax. For now at least, for he could have never imagined what news about his father was soon to come.
