I didn’t get a picture of where we were staying the night before, and unfortunately, this one didn’t quite turn out the way I’d hoped but...there were watermelons with little flags pushed into them by the rodents of unusual sizes, making them into little boats...I think.

Yikes! Look at the size of that snake...No thank you!

My breakfast buddy outside of Dawn’s Blossom inn....he liked my noodles more than I did...I think.

These photos are from around the temple grounds, monks training in the different fighting styles that mimic those of their ancient gods, and a couple of very large bridges that seem to go on and on and up and up over the ocean and into the higher peaks of Pandaria. My dragon didn’t take me up through many of them, but he was nice enough to take me near the Jade Statue, which really ISN’T supposed to have any outsiders near it, especially not those from Kalimdor or the Eastern Kingdoms, especially after what happened the last time but...I wanted to see it so badly and I’m so small, I was able to get pictures without even being noticed. 

I’m sure with as beautiful as this Jade statue is, Yu’lon is going to have a very nice and restful sleep. 

After a snack, we headed back out onto the road and into the village of Dawn’s Blossom for the night.

The library in the temple is amazing! These scrolls are huge and I could have spent forever in there, and I was even given a few scrolls and books to go with us on our journey. I even found Lady Eunice reading in a corner with some buns and a cup of tea reading! I’m so glad I taught her how to read, now she can discover the best of the tales and the histories for herself! It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside, which is saying something since it’s really only my head and stomach that can -get- warm and fuzzy. 

(I’m glad my heart is my own and not mechanized) 

Oh...and it looks like the dragon IS following me around. Her name is Ruby and...Lady Eunice said we can take her to the Arbortoreum to be raised and trained to be a...CLOUD SERPENT!!! I might get to ride her! Train hard Ruby you’re so sweet, I can’t wait to see how big and strong you become.

I found baby dragons! They’re so cute...and....is that red one following me?

It’s hard to believe the Sha was ever here, it’s beautiful and...ah! Look! Dragons!

The Jade Temple!!! 

This amazing place has actually been closed off since the destruction of the original Jade Dragon statue was destroyed and Yu’lon was forced to continue on longer than originally planned, so when Lady Eunice told me we were being allowed to do a fly over and a personal tour of the temple grounds, I was beyond excited. This place is so amazing, there’s a sense of comfort and peace all through the halls, it’s hard to believe that it was ever corrupted at all. 

The waters in this part of the temple are used by the Jinyu waterspeakers to look into the future, the past and every other aspect of life to ensure that the path their people are on is the right one, for the betterment of their people. It’s also the one place in Pandaria that has the purest, cleanest water that even a mere sip will keep you hydrated for days, even weeks!

We got to ride on beautiful cloud serpents too, I really hope I can earn one, somehow.

A Pandaren monk requested to duel Lady Eunice and while she did that, I started looking around. The crane behind me smiled right when I was taking its picture and would you look at those flowers! They go on and on!

Would you look at the size of that grub?! It’s the same size I am!

We made it Pandaria!!! 

This was a little shrine we found outside of Paw’don Village where we stopped before heading into the thick of the Jade Forest on our way to find the famed traveler, Chen Stormstout. Him and his niece Li Li are back in Pandaria to help the Pandaren in the Valley reclaim some of their lands from the evil bug creatures, the Mantid, the Mogu and anything else they need help with. I’m so excited to see what new adventures are just waiting for us!

So these big badger people have been causing some serious problems for the Kalu’ak so we came up here to steal back supplies and to keep an eye on the baby badgers, we didn’t want any of them getting hurt while we tried to take back what we needed. 

After helping out here, we moved on to Wintergarde Keep beneath the shadow of the scourge blight, Naxxramas. While we didn’t stay there very long here, I learned a few things...the Scourge is still very prevalent...I’m guessing the ones that the Lich King isn’t able to get control over and I am not that coordinated trying to fly on a gryphon and save people at the same time. 

Also...if something needs to be blown up, send in a Mechagnome, we can be easily put back together. I bring this up because I got to blow up a mine full of scourged miners. Those poor souls but at least they’re finally at rest now.

After finishing our work with the Tuskaar here, we got on a massive turtle boat and sailed across the Frozen Sea to Moa’ki Harbor in Dragonblight....is that a dragon skeleton?!

This guy is a ghost! Talk about a chilling experience!

So...let me tell you about this place....

There was a corrupt pirate named Jonah Sterling who was attacking both Alliance and Horde ships trying to take them for everything they had. He was apparently also leading raids on the Tuskaar village of Kamagua and would take the peaceful people, starve them and then try to sell them as slaves. Slaves! Can you believe that?! These particular Tuskaar will die if they’re taken out of the climate around this area and this pirate baddie didn’t even care! 

Me and Lady Eunice found our way to this cave the first time to try to take his spyglass, which we found but it was kind of tricky, the second time we came in here again and faced off against Jonah Sterling himself! We -were- going to kill him but he jumped down into a bear den with a blind, starved, MASSIVE polar bear! I didn’t get a picture of him, he was trying to eat us and then Eunice had to cut him open just to find proof that we had actually done our job. Yuck! 

We took the proof back to the pirates at Scallywag Point and then headed back to Kamagua to finish helping the Tuskaar.
