Skoll Shenanigans

I'd been listening to Amon Amarth for most of the night, so perhaps it was their viking metal influence, but as I was sitting there at my computer idly watching some shows and chatting with friends, I was suddenly struck by a powerful urge to go visit Storm Peaks. I wasn't even in game at the time, nor thinking about it in the least. Yet there it was, that overwhelming desire to head to Northrend.

I logged into WoW, used my Wormhole Generator to teleport to Storm Peaks, and began to fly around.

As I started to approach the Brunnhildar Village area, I realized I knew exactly what was coming. I neared the cliff plateau, and as soon as I was in range NPC Scan blared at me.

Skoll was up.

Of course he was. Dang telepathic spirit beasts and their inability to leave me alone. It was as if he knew I had a free stable slot at the moment (left more or less open for a future hydra), and was purposely trying to tempt me.

I angled down to land beside him when a Troll hunter appears next to me. "Ah," I think to myself smugly, "see...he wasn't meant for me after all. This other hunter can have him and I'll be let off the hook." I cheered at him and backed away politely, implying that Skoll was all his and that I wasn't going to try to interfere. He makes no move, so I ask in /say if he's taming him. He then replies that he already has Skoll, and that I was free to take him.

I sigh resignedly, accepting my apparent fate, and tame the lightning puppy for myself (for the third time).

I really can't say right now if this will stick or not, but I do find myself entertaining the idea of keeping him. I'll give it some time. In any case, for the moment...I seem to have been tamed once more by a spirit beast. /eyeroll

EDIT: I have tentatively named him Hegg, after the lead singer of Amon Amarth: Johan Hegg. Seemed appropriate. :)
