Thoughts Turning into Thunders

Thunders were wrecking his flow of thoughts.

The years of shamanism couldn’t suppress what was going through his head.

Even if the Pandaren were trained to meditate in violent conditions, the last battles that Elmynt fought gave him no peace.

The Primalists, the ones who sought to remove all Titan influence of Azeroth, were way too drastic in their means. Destroying generations of dragons. Forcing their ways on anyone who was remotely interested in the magics that came from other worlds.
