Sacch tossed and turned as she slept, the night air a bit colder than normal. Her mind drifted fully into sleep as her mind's eye exploded into color, bringing forth an image of a waterfall and... Bamboo trees? It looked like her mind had taken her to Pandaria but the land was moving, the sky ever shifting as the light began to illuminate the valley beyond. 

As she moved along, a warm and inviting voice was heard singing, a voice familiar but somehow different. From behind a broken log, holding a fishing pole within his hand, a dark furred pandaren was sitting by the water's edge. The pandaren wore an orange robe and pants, designed in the image of a mandala and several Cloud Serpents. As she grew closer, she could hear the song full well which may have brought her a deep peace as she knew only one person whoever sang that song.

" Hello, Sacch, it has been awhile. Come, sit with me for a while and hopefully, I can find some fish to make some cakes with." Tet tilted his head toward her, smiling a bit. This Tet was the one she would have remembered, a young Tet that was unscarred, unbroken like he had slowly become after showing up to the horde's doorstep.

" I'm sorry I didn't come see you before I passed on, Sacch but there was not much time left in my last days. But I am at peace now and whole again so I wished to make the journey to see you again." His hand reached down, grabbing a bottle of plum wine and drinking from it." Mmm, I stopped drinking after a while, you know. I think that's why I became such an orc in my final days in the Horde. I was so happy in the beginning, everyone loved me and I was truly happy." He shook his head but never once lost his smile.

" Don't worry, I will not be keeping you long as I have other's dreams I must see before the night is over. I just wanted to tell you, I am proud of you, Sacch, proud of who you've become and how glad I am I was able to call you a friend in life as well as in death. I hope and wish only the best for you and offer only this piece of advice to you. Slow down, life is not a race to be won because we all end up the same way. Don't rush to the finish line, enjoy the wind in the bamboo and take in the sights." With a final smile, he offered her a wave as she felt her body begin to float away from Tet. She wanted to scream, tell him she would miss him.
