Took me a while to figure it out, but you have to grow to max size, target a cloud, then do your thing. I thought the clouds were just "there".
If you can't grab the sun (grey gear), exit the vehicle and do the following steps.
1-Ask him to retell the story.
2-Grow yourself only ONCE (Important).
3-Search ONE cloud, the Sun will appear above you.
4-Grab the sun.
If you only grew yourself ONCE you should be able to grab it.

Description
Not only was Theldurin's story wrong, it was boring, unimaginitive, and slow. I'll tell you how things really happened on that day.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Day that Deathwing Came
Deathwing made quite a mess when he passed through these parts. If it weren't for me, he'd probably still be here, layin' waste to all the good people of the Badlands. What, you don't believe me? Fine, let me tell you the whole story.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Day that Deathwing Came: What Really Happened
These two have no idea how to tell a story. Theldurin's story was too short, and Lucien's tale was a little too tall, if you catch my drift. Also, neither of their stories had action and fans admiring my awesomeness in them. Sit back, <name>. I'll tell you what really happened that day.
