"Why did the Shadows choose me?"

"Your body is fit to wield the power of the Shadows, and your soul is unlike anyone else, since the beginning, you know."

Claudia was silent, knowing what was the difference between her soul and that of the others, and Elune continued:

"What's more, since the fate of the universe that we planned was cut off by Sargeras wielding his sword, now, the fate of the entire universe has reached the most critical moment, and the future of the universe is determined by the direction of the planet Azeroth in the next few years, so the Shadows are eager to find the spokesperson of their will to achieve their goals."

"What is the purpose of the Shadows?"

"Look in another mirror and you'll understand."

Claudia did so, as if it had just happened, countless futures, countless possibilities, appeared in front of her one after another.

If the future shown in the mirror just now is always despair at the end, then this mirror is full of darkness, pain, despair, and betrayal from the beginning.

Even in most cases, Claudia will not be able to make it to the Burning Legion, before which she will die or go insane in a variety of ways, for different reasons, and once she goes mad, she will become a puppet of the Shadows, destroying all nations except the Stormwind Kingdom, devouring many of the Old Gods and beginning to corrupt the ...... of Azeroth.

And even if she can hold out to face the Burning Legion, the Void Air Regiment is by no means as reliable as the Shadow Will boasts, they may be able to fight against Sargeras's men, but Sargeras is the most powerful life in the physical universe, in front of Sargeras, the number is meaningless, everything will be silent.

But just as the future is shown in the mirror, many of the futures that this mirror shows are not entirely hopeless.

In a certain future, albeit equally full of sacrifice and incomprehensible, Claudia still emerges victorious, defeating Sargeras along with the others, and after that, she goes to the Shadow Realm .......

After looking at this mirror, Claudia's eyes were already full of tears, she turned to look at Elune, and said resolutely: "I see, I figured it out, I chose this path." ”

"Why?" There was a hint of confusion in Elune's calm voice, "There is only a small hope of winning on the left and right, why not choose the bright side and enjoy the beauty and happiness for a few more years before the Legion comes?" Is it for your partner? ”

"Though I love him, I am not for him, I am not an appendage of him," Claudia said, shaking her head with tears in her eyes, but her eyes were unusually determined:

"Because that future has made me understand that my destiny is to carry everything and save this desperate afterlife, and only this path can allow me to achieve my destiny, which is why fate gave me a second chance five years ago."

After listening to Claudia's words, thinking of the picture just now, Elune's eyes showed clarity, she already understood why Claudia made this choice, she stretched out her hand, and the two mirrors disappeared, Elune said softly:

"Save the souls of all mortals? What an admirable choice, boy, it's a very difficult road, and I never expected you to make this decision.

If you feel like you can't hold back, you can always go to the Moon Temple in Vaarsara, where on full moon nights, with the prayers of the High Priestesses and the Tears of Elune, they can summon enough moonlight to purify you before the dark forces within you move to the next stage.

But if you miss this opportunity, you can only wait for the opportunity in the illusion of hopelessness. ”

Claudia smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Goddess, but no, this is my fate, so no matter how difficult it is, no matter how little hope is, I believe that I will be able to achieve it." ”

Elune stared at her for a moment, and finally spoke, "Admirable determination, I lost my word, but now that you have made your decision, in order to ensure that you have a greater chance of fulfilling your wishes, I will teach you some knowledge that will better prepare you to fight the Void Whispers." ”

Claudia saluted gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you very much. ”

"You're welcome, and speaking of it—" Elune smiled for the first time ever, "I've always been very dismissive of my chosen Illidan, and I'm as far away as my temple can be, and now that the Shadow has chosen you, I can't let them do what they want, so I specially arranged today's meeting." ”

Do you mess with the Shadows?

Unexpectedly, such a witty answer was expected, and Claudia couldn't help but laugh.

I don't know how much time has passed, but the time in the dream is meaningless, and eventually Claudia leaves the dream and wakes up from her sleep, and when she opens her eyes, time is still stuck in the moment she fell asleep.

Following Professor Elune's method, Claudia controlled her thoughts and began to ask:

"Is there anything other than corrupting the Eye of Sargeras that will allow you to stop prying into my thoughts?"

‘…… Hmm, our darling, is this condition a bit too expensive for you at this stage, then change it, you need a sword that can better exert the dark power in your body to accompany you, go to the forging hall to get the apocalypse out, you will need to use it......

After a long time of hesitating and struggling in disguise, Claudia agreed: "I need time to get that weapon, but you need to stop peeking into my mind from now on, and if you will, make a deal." ”

The Shadow Will agreed, promising that as long as Claudia met the conditions within a month, it would not be a breach of contract, and after the Shadow Will agreed, Claudia finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, she could finally think about her own affairs with peace of mind.

"I didn't expect that the true image of fate turned out to be like this."

Claudia couldn't help but sigh in her heart, for the first time ever, after Elune's teaching, she understood the nature of this universe, and all the incomprehensible things seemed to her at this moment.

After a period of time to sort out her thoughts, Claudia did not continue to rest, her body is no longer human, in fact, she does not need to rest, what needs to rest is only her spirit, and Claudia's spirit has been fully relaxed in the long time in the dream just now.

Claudia got up and went to a corner of the queen's bedroom, and began to kneel and pray, as she had done, for the morning service.

‘…… It's ridiculous, our darling, that you are still praying to the Light, don't you know that the Light has given up on you......

"The Light has given up on me, but I have not given up on the Light."

‘…… Hehehe, are you counting on the Light to deliver? Give up and tell you a desperate truth, the Light in the universe has long been defeated, and the Light is now too busy to take care ......of itself'

Claudia didn't answer, but she knew the other party's words were right, after experiencing Elune's revelations.

The origin of the universe is light and shadow.

The constant conflict and entanglement between light and shadow constitutes what people call "fate".

And on the side of the Holy Light, it is true that it has already suffered a serious defeat, if it is not, why is there a burning expedition? Why are there successive depravities of the Guardians? And why is the fate of the physical universe already on the verge of extinction?

You must know that as early as the time when the light and shadow were in order, the Holy Light had already found the right path in this universe from countless paths, which was the most harmonious and natural path in all the future of the universe, and they had drawn an exceptionally magnificent blueprint for the universe in advance.

It is precisely because the Light has been defeated, and because the Wheel of Fortune has been destroyed, that the beautiful blueprint that the Light had planned for this universe no longer exists, so all that is left is a myriad of desperate futures...... And that ethereal glimmer of hope.
