47 Fordin's Past (Part II)
"I ...... There is a son," said Ferdin, who looked extremely struggling as he said this.
"His mother named him Tyran. He was a good boy and always took pride in me. His greatest dream was to join the Knights, fight alongside me, and bring glory to the Alliance and Lordaeron...... However, because I was so dishonorably exiled, his mother deceived him and said that I was dead. During his formative years, his mentor, Ethan Leon, helped him a lot. In Tyran's heart, Ethanlien was not only his mentor, but also in a way like his father, me.
Therefore, after the arrival of the Cataclysmic War, seeing his relatives and friends fall and then stand up again as immortal, the betrayal of Arthas, and the dissolution of the Knights of the Silver Hand, this series of blows made everyone breathless. Tyran, drowning in grief and devastation, like most people at the time, desperately needed a new leader to lead them out of their predicament and confusion. And this man soon appeared, and it was his former mentor, Ethan Lien.
By this time, Ethan Lion had already stood before the populace as one of the founders of the Scarlet Crusaders and began to preach their ideas, and the simple Tyran rejoined him with great hope, and reverently offered his domain, Hearthvale, as the western base of the Scarlet Crusaders in the Plaguelands.
I've been silently watching all this...... If...... I can see a little farther away......" Fordin sighed deeply and continued.
"With the increasing number of Scourge legions, and ...... With the death of Mograine the Elder, there was a change within the Scarlet Crusaders, and some of them began to become more and more fanatical, attacking all innocents who were not members of the Scarlet Crusaders - whether they were infected with the plague or not.
This change also worried the rest of the Scarlet Crusaders, and the end result was that they broke away from the Scarlet Crusaders and formed an organization called Silver Dawn. Ferdin's knock on the letter on the table. They came to contact me and wanted me to join them and lead them. Silver Dawn's current commander was my subordinate, and he knew me and understood my concerns, so he stepped forward to tell Tyran that I was still alive, and persuaded Tyran to join Silver Dawn by leaving the Scarlet Crusade. These...... I knew it, and I acquiesced...... For I did not want to let the increasingly terrifying madness of the Scarlet Crusaders permeate my pure Tyran's heart...... Originally, everything went well. Tyran is willing to leave the Scarlet Crusade and return to me. However, Ethan Lion somehow learned of Tyran's plans. He was afraid that he would lose his legal ownership of the Hearthvale because he lost Tyran, the legal owner of the Hearthvale, and he was arrogant by nature and could not tolerate Tyran's betrayal. So, he ...... An ambush was set up on Tyran's way home, but I didn't have time to stop it from happening. All I saw when I arrived was him...... Kill Tyran......"
Saying this, Ferding involuntarily covered his face in pain.
Xia hesitantly reached out and gently patted Old Ferdin's slightly trembling arm as a sign of comfort.
After a while, Fording controlled his emotions, lowered his hands, and patted Thea's soothing hand in response. "Thanks, I'm better...... This incident weighed on my heart and made me miserable. But I can't tell my students and my subordinates about the pain and sorrow in my heart, because in their eyes I will always be strong and sensible. But...... I was a father after all, and the thought that I hadn't been able to save him in time made it feel like a sharp blade was stirring in my heart. If I could go faster, faster...... I lost him forever, my child ......"
Thea bowed her head gloomily. She thought of something else - wasn't it...... Would you rather die than want her to live like this?
"Uncle Fordin...... I mean...... If Tyran were to become like me and stand in front of you, would you accept him? Thea plucked up the courage to look up and look directly at Fording and asked.
A look of surprise flashed across Ferdin's face.
Silent. There was a long silence.
When Thea was about to despair, Ferdin's eyes softly answered her. "Race is not an indication of glory, and one should not make rash judgments about one's own different existence. I've always believed in that. This is still the case. Thea, you're a good girl, and it's not your will to be the Forsaken. You don't keep dwelling on things that you can't change, there will always be someone who will understand you and accept you, just like me. ”
"You haven't answered my question yet?" Thea muttered discontentedly.
Ferding smiled and reached out his large hand to gently caress the top of Thea's pitch-black hair. "If Tyran does become like you, as long as he retains the good heart of a human being, then he will still be my child. I love his good, pure soul, not as a human being or as a forsaken. In fact, I don't think humans alone can defeat the Lich King and his Scourge legions, and we must unite all the sentient races on Azeroth to achieve this goal. ”
"By the way, what happened to that Ethan Lion in the end?" Shia asked curiously
"He's dead! I killed him with my own hands. When I saw Tyran fall, the vengeful rage made me lose my mind. Furding looked at Thea, "It's really scary when people lose their minds. Even I can't avoid it, will you look down on me for it? ”
Thea shook her head like a rattle. "How so? If your own child is killed in front of you, anyone will lose their minds. ”
"You're a good girl who is understanding and considerate," Furding smiled kindly. "But I can see that you are not happy now, and since you have come back to life, you should cherish and enjoy your current life."
In the face of Ferdin's kind smile, Xia didn't know why she just wanted to talk to him. "Uncle Ferdin...... I can't remember my past, but I really want to know who I was in the past, my loved ones, and want to know if they are all okay. I don't like the Undercity, I'm not used to the way the Forsaken do things, they give me an indescribable awkwardness...... It's like you have to do everything for the sake of profit, and I don't like ......"
“…… Would you like to consider joining Silver Dawn? Fording pondered for a moment and said suddenly.
What the? Let her, the Forsaken, join an organization that destroys the scourge of the undead? Thea was completely stunned.
