TheWoWDBI did all the quests in the area and after having done Plug the Sinkholes, I was able to pick this up. Also noticed that after handing in that quest quite a few others became available so I'm pretty sure that's the one.

Description
I told them all that I remember. Why don't they believe me? I was gathering herbs by the rift. They came from nowhere, dark wizards with magical beasts. I was surrounded! A huge magical cube appeared above me. It opened up and pulled me inside. I swear it's true! Just as it began to close around me, my rescuers swooped in on the backs of drakes - It was amazing! My captors scattered and I was able to escape. I never thanked them for saving me. Please, {class}, if you see them, pass on my gratitude.
