Daughter of the Sea

Jon at in the Pig & Whistle, his face as stony as a Titan automaton as he listened to a mistral sing a new song from Kul Tiras.

"Beware, beware the Daughter of the Sea."

"Beware," I heard him cry.

His words carried upon the ocean breeze,

As he sank beneath the tide.

Those blood-soaked shores of Kalimdor,

Where sailors fought and died.

The admiral fell at Theramore,

because she left his side.

Why this? Why this oh Daughter of the Sea?

Why this? Did you forget your seaside days?

Always the pride of our nation's eyes,

How could she go astray?

When she did flee across the ocean deep,

the admiral followed west.

What else but sail to save a daughter's life,

and pray she still drew breath?

But there he found on the Western shores,

Enemies 'on the rise!

But when he faced those savage foes

His daughter stood aside.

Buried deep beneath the waves,

Betrayed by family.

To his nation, with his last breath, cried,

"Beware the Daughter of the Sea."

Jon had mixed feelings about Jaina, like so many people after Theramore.  Like Jon, she had survived the destruction of Theramore.  Unlike Jon, she might have been able to prevent it if she had been there.  

Once, Jon had spied and killed for Theramore, and then for Kul Tiras.  Now, Trias was sending him back to Kul Tiras, to "open up new customers and new supplies of cheese!".  That he would be sending intelligence reports and building an espionage network there for Trias' use was clearly of secondary importance to the Matters of Cheese.

It should be an interesting assignment.
