The Kaliri Story

May 29, 2007 at 2:24 pm (Pets, Storys)

While getting exalted reputation with the Mag’har (beautiful skin tone on those orcs btw., I wished they implement that option for creating orcs^^) to be able to ride a Talbuk Dreamz also made it to level 70 and so not only bought a White Riding Talbuk (dont like the war ones cus the armor hides a lot of the look) but a flying mount – Blue Windrider – also.

Shortly after all that I felt a lack of aim ;) I played my other chars for a few days when during a visit of Petopia the Skettis Kaliri crossed my surfing again. Besides Dreamgirl the snow leo there were two pets in Dreamz’ stable: a fresh tamed level 66 black raptor (Daggermore Blackhide) and a black owl (Kaliri Swooper) of level 66 too. I have had fun with the owl (name is Dreamy), always having a little falcon owl pet of the exact same look out with her which made it seem like if I had a mummy and a baby owl with me ^^  I had stopped leveling Dreamy to get Dreamgirl up which was like 3 levels behind me, not really helpful when doing instance zones with my guild.

I decided on setting the raptor free and looked up Petopia to find out where to get the Skettis Kaliri. The area it was shown in I hadn’t visited before and so headed to Stonebreaker Hold, figuring I had to ride around on my Talbuk and try to find the entrance to that Kaliri area. Lol stupid me… After searching for a while I suddenly remembered that I have – a FLYING mount by now! Rofl… I wasn’t really used to that fact yet, so I forgave myself *g* and approached the area on the back of my windrider.

But hey – that wasn’t easy at all due to those other owls (looking like the Avian Ripper) which fly high also and attack you when you get close to them. And I still didn’t know where to find the Skettis Kaliri exactly! I managed to escape two attacks of the red-orange owls while looking out for my target. Finally – flying closer to the ground and being in the eastern end of the area – I spotted a Skettis Kaliri and while I was thinking about on where exactly I should land I got attacked a third time. This time the aggresive owl threw me off my windrider but I got lucky – landed in the hills still alive, the owl had left and I managed to jump further down, Skettis people and a Skettis Kaliri in sight. Thanks aggressive owl – this was a nice spot to get kicked off your flying mount. What I noticed first was the fact that the name of the Kaliri was shown in yellow letters, I remembered Olm the Wise, the bird with Cenarius faction, and was a bit afraid that I might not be able to tame the Kaliri due to something like that, tho I hadn’t read anything about it on Petopia.

A bit away I saw another player fighting the Skettis people, but she didn’t be interested in the owl (I only saw one of them). Between me and the owl was a feathered Skettis guy and when I attacked him the Skettis Kaliri followed and attacked me too – yellow letters changed into red! I placed a freezing trap, killed the Skettis guy, set my raptor free and started on taming the Kaliri. No problem until – something happened which I am still not sure of, but the red letters turned into yellow again and MY Kaliri attacked that other player that was around too :( Perhaps she had shot it or the Kaliri was somehow bond to a mob she had fought before – I still have no idea. Nevertheless when she had killed the Kaliri she wasn’t able to loot it – but I was and I did, showing off that this had been a mob I was fighting. I sure was angry but since that player hurried away she might have figured that she had been mistaken and so I didn’t say anything^^

Not seeing another Skettis Kaliri I went back to my save spot close to the hills, waiting and watching. Then suddenly another spawned. I waited a moment to see if the player attacked it but she was busy fighting Skettis people. So I ran closer, shot the Kaliri (letters turned red), placed a trap but stupidly hit it once and it break out. So I just hoped for a first tame success and that the other player would not interact again. And so it happened – shortly after the beautiful Skettis Kaliri was mine :)

Then I just ported myself back to my homespot in Garadar (Nagrand) and logged off to think about a name. I had planned on using Dreamer perhaps, since I had Dreamgirl and Dreamy already, but finally decided that owl deserved a more fitting name. Therefore I named her Rainbow ^^ Since then I have hunted with her a few times now (my next aim might be exalted reputation with the Consortium for they have some nice items, no recipes for me tho since I am an Alchemist) and it seems not easy to get a level 70 pet to love you like hell *g* But I’m sure time will help that :)
