Chapter 380: The Spirit of the Wild
Drek'Thar shook his head at Thrall, who was very confused. Old Thrall said, "Your trial is not over yet."
Not over yet? Thrall recalled the elements he had just touched, fire, earth, wind, and water. What other elements were not touched? Thrall did not ask his own questions, and continued to close his eyes to look for the unfinished trial that Old Thrall mentioned.
Not long after he closed his eyes, Thrall shouted loudly, and a force rushed from the top of Thrall's head to the bottom of his feet. Is there a fifth element?
Thrall got the answer immediately. This force belongs to the spirit of the wild.
Thrall listened carefully to the words of these wild spirits he had never heard of. We are the spirits of the wild, the essence and soul of all living things. We are the most powerful, beyond the trembling land, the swift wind, the blazing fire, and the torrent of water. Young Thrall, tell us why you think you are worthy of our help.
Thrall found it difficult to breathe for a moment. The spirits of the wild are not just one kind of power. There are wild wolves, goats, moose, and some creatures that Thrall has never seen before. Various powers are surging in Thrall's body. Thrall wants to capture a power, but Thrall finds that each power here has its own soul and can hardly be tamed by Thrall. Thrall tried to concentrate his attention, and showed the same reverence to each soul as he did to the elemental spirits, even though the number of these souls made him despair.
Suddenly, Thrall's body went limp and he fell to the ground. There was just too much power, and it was hard for him to adapt. Thrall's body felt like a mountain and was hard to move.
After a while, some transparent creatures visible to the naked eye floated around Thrall, and listening to their gentle voices, he knew that he had been judged to be qualified. A real and illusory stag was rejoicing around him, and Thrall knew that he could not only see the appearance of these creatures, but also feel its soul and thank it for its gift. Moment by moment, he felt that he was connected to all the orcs in the entire clan. Even the souls of the most inconspicuous creatures can be as pure as the sky. Their souls are now clearly visible. Thrall believes that even in the endless darkness, all life can shine brightly. The power of the shaman is not only connected to the elemental spirits, but also to these beasts. Any shaman who does not treat the wild spirits with the highest reverence and interfere with this soul chain will fail.
These souls danced a special dance around Thrall, and then disappeared. Thrall felt relieved and sat up again. Old Thrall walked behind Thrall and patted his shoulder gently, but Thrall felt too tired. It was already very difficult to sit up, and standing up was really impossible.
Since Thrall couldn't stand up, Old Thrall simply sat beside Thrall and waited for him to recover.
"Well done, my child," Drek'Thar said, his voice trembling with excitement. "As you sit down, I hope they will accept you. You don't know, Thrall, it has been a long time, decades since the last time the Beast Spirits accepted a shaman. They are extremely angry that some of our shamans have become sorcerers of the Dark Pact and practiced corrupted magic. So much so that the current shamans are my age. The Wild Spirits The wait has been long for someone worthy of their power; you are the first in so many years to be given this honor. Once, I thought they would never be with us again, but your arrival, Saul, has changed all that. I have never met a more gifted shaman than you, and today is only the first day of your elemental communication! This is only the beginning!"
"Hah... hah... huh..." Thrall panted and spoke intermittently, "Each of these forces is incomparably powerful. Compared with them, I am just a small boat in the ocean. I can't use any strength at all. I can only look up at them..."
"It is because of your admiration that they will recognize you. The power of nature is endless. A person who does not respect nature will not be recognized by nature. Thrall, Durotan and Draka will be proud of you. Come, give me your hand, let's go back and rest."
Thrall shook his head: "Teacher, I want to stay here for a while, I want to feel it again."
"Okay!"
Old Thrall was very happy with Thrall's efforts. He smiled, shook his head, and leaned on his crutches to accept the guidance of the elements and returned to the Frostwolf Clan.
Thrall spent days feeling the power of the elements. Now that he was companions with the spirits of earth, water, wind, fire, and the wild, Thrall could call upon them not only in the meditation place, but also wherever the elements existed, Thrall could communicate with them. Thrall felt much stronger and more confident than ever before.
Now he followed Drek'Thar to learn a special "summoning," as the old shaman called it.
"Warlocks call it a spell," he told Thrall, "but we—the shamans—just call it 'summoning.' We ask, and the powers that be with us answer. Or not, all is up to their own will."
"Have they ever refused?" Thrall asked doubtfully.
The old shaman suddenly became quiet, and after a long pause he uttered two syllables: "Yes."
"When? Why?" Thrall immediately asked, and then immediately added, "If you don't want to mention these things, don't tell me."
Drek'Thar shook his head and said, "You are a shaman now, although just a rookie. But it is good for you to know our taboos. It is also a warning. Their refusal was due to me. I am ashamed. I have asked for improper things more than once. The first time, I asked for a flood to destroy an enemy camp. I was angry and painful at the time because they destroyed many of our compatriots. But there were many casualties in the camp, even women and children, and the water spirit was unwilling to do that."
"But floods often happen, and every time many lives are lost."
"But that was all in accordance with the will of the water spirits. It was a natural disaster. I don't know their needs and plans. They certainly wouldn't tell me. That time, it was against the will of the water spirits, so there would be no floods, drowning thousands of people who the water spirits thought were innocent. Later, when the anger gradually dissipated, I realized that the water spirits were right."
