The Cold

Unread post by Highdeath »

It was so long ago... I remeber it so well, it was warm, oh how i miss warmth. We knew that the scourge was coming, we knew what they could do. But what we could not know was what it was like to see our loved ones, our husbands, wives, children even, level cold unfeeling, unseeing eyes at us, and know that they would kill us without thought, emotion, or mercy. The true horror began when we fought them in close quarters. When you fire an arrow it feels impersonal, but when you are forced to take your sword and drag it through flesh and muscle and bone, it is truely awful, and they wouldn't fall... A wound that would have been fatal to anyone living simply slowed them down, the only way to kill them was to render the holow shell that was their body so emancipated it was beyond movement.

I was in one of the last lines of defence, i had to watch all the other fall before myself, every time one of my comrads fell, it gave me a new vision as to how i would die. It finally came to us, the wave of death with Arthas at its crest, ready to crash down upon us and wash us away without a thought. I fought hard and long, knowing that i would not live, i only wanted for my family to escape. As I struck one of the bloated monstrosites through the chest i saw the reason i was fighting die. My sweet Nilthana, so warm and full of life, was aproaching me, her chest ripped open, i could see her heart, sitting in the empty cavity, still, cold, and silent. She leved cold eyes at me, eyes that were the same blue green as before, but now stared unseeing, as if gazing at the next plane beyond our own. She raised her bow, passed down in her family for thirteen generations, knocked an arrow, fleched with red dragonhawk feathers that we had gathered together. When she released her arrow, it did not pierce my heart, for my heart had vanished the moment i had looked into her unseeing eyes.

I awoke in this place, i was trained in this place, i broke free in this place. I now look over the destruction i caused, all in the name of the MONSTROSITY that made me into what i am now. I now see through the unseeing, and it is not the plane beyond i see, but my own for what it truely is. A place of cruelty and hate, of anger and lies. I see that it is hopeless to change it, but i feel i have to try, For Nilthana
