Chapter 113: Elune's Choice of Destiny
After Claudia visited Segrina, it was already light, and it was time for Claudia to get up and practice martial arts.
Segrina, although she looked very indifferent on the surface, said with a grin such as:
"It's nothing, didn't you get bitten by a dog, I didn't expect to earn so many gold coins, it's worth it."
"Okay, okay, don't cry and mourn, my mother is not a good place, I don't know how many men I played with when I was in Quel'Thalas, if you want to comfort my broken heart, give me another salary."
But Claudia could still see the unwillingness and anger hidden under Segrina's smiling face.
Think about it, the dignified strong are played by weak chickens, who will be willing? It would definitely be a great shame.
Moreover, Claudia also knows the elves' concept of sexuality and love.
As an immortal, and without having to worry about food and clothing, many elves are indeed very open before marriage, and they can play all kinds of tricks, which is very promiscuous, and elves usually do not like to choose a fixed partner, which also causes the low fertility rate of elves.
But as long as the elves choose a partner, they will be unusually loyal and infatuated with their partner, and will never betray them, and if one of them dies unexpectedly, the other party would rather choose thousands of years of loneliness than let anyone touch them again.
And Segrina, as far as Claudia knew, had a partner, who died in the orc invasion of Quel'Salas more than a decade ago, and since then she has chosen to self-exile and wander into the human world in a very sad and angry way.
"Wait a few days, and when this time is over, then ask Selie what she wants to do with that bastard."
After Claudia made her decision, she went back to the bathroom of the queen's bedroom to take a shower and go to bed, intending to close her eyes and rest for a while while she and Varian had breakfast with the children.
In fact, in terms of her identity as a shadow life, it is perfectly fine not to sleep, but in the past day, Claudia has experienced too much, she is physically and mentally exhausted, and she needs to rest, even if the rest time is short.
But what Claudia didn't expect was that as soon as she lay down and closed her eyes, the Dream Moon Stone Bracelet and Elune's Mark on her left hand lit up imperceptibly at the same time, and she entered the dream realm.
In the dream, Claudia was above the universe, and beneath her was a miniature version of the universe, and not far from her, a beautiful, graceful and luxurious night elf woman with her skin and eyes glowing with silver moonlight.
Even though she had never seen this Night Elf, Claudia knew the other person's identity in an instant, and there was no reason for it, because knowing was knowing, and she was Elune.
"Your Majesty Elune." Claudia was pleasantly surprised that after such a long and tiring day, after so much pain and sorrow, when she was most desperate and in need of help, Elune took the initiative to come to her dream.
At this moment, just seeing Elune, all the tiredness and pain in Claudia's heart had been swept away, and she felt complete peace.
Elune, with a loving face, spoke softly, in an ethereal and beautiful voice: "It's me, child, I've been watching you since yesterday, but I'm sorry that I didn't find a chance to communicate with you until now, because all other ways can't hide from them. ”
"They? Are you referring to the Void? ”
"That's right, they're the Void." Elune nodded, her face sympathetic, "The last time Blackstone Mountain came into contact with you, I saw clearly many of your future fate possibilities, so I gave you my mark and asked Ysera to give Gianna this bracelet for this moment today." ”
Claudia looked at her left hand, the bracelet and the sigil on her left hand each emitted a soft moonlight and reflected each other, remembering the various pasts of obtaining this sigil and bracelet, and recalling the words that Elune had said in the last meeting, she was very surprised:
"Your Majesty, you mentioned that you would give me one more chance to choose my fate? Is that what you're talking about? ”
"That's right, it's today, and now there are two choices in front of you at the same time---。"
As the words fell, Elune raised her right hand and pointed it at Claudia slightly, and then two mirrors appeared next to Claudia, one left and one right.
The goddess spoke again: "In these two mirrors, it represents the different fates that you will face with these two choices, please make a decision after careful observation, no need to worry, even if it is here for a thousand years, the outside world is only a short moment." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Claudia thanked her gratefully, and then she turned to look at the mirror on her left, and for a moment, the mirror shone brightly, and a possibility of the future appeared.
She saw herself, along with Gianna and Azadas, raid the Hall of the Rocks, kill Loken, and reclaim Ulduar.
She saw that Ulduar's corruption had been cleansed, and the Iron Army had re-levelled the Icecrown Stronghold, ending the Lich King.
She saw the ancient gods at the bottom of the sea fall back into sleep after being violently beaten by many guardians, and the whole world returned to order.
She saw that she had gathered countless mechanical gnomes, and that industrialization had begun in Stormwind and eventually spread throughout the world, where everyone could be fed, clothed, and clothed.
She saw herself retreat to the deep palace, snuggled in Varian's arms, and smiled with great happiness as she watched the children grow up.
And then ...... She saw a dense mass of Legion warships swarming towards Azeroth, her king dying at the hands of warlocks, she and Gianna blew themselves up after exhausting themselves in the demonic sea, and Ulduar burned in the flames, destroying the whole world...... All that was so beautiful in front of the Burning Legion was so fragile and ridiculous.
Of course, this is only one of the possible fates.
In the following time, more possibilities and more futures will show Claudia's eyes one after another.
Some are happy, some are painful, but either future comes from the purification she soon received in the vast and pure moonlight, and in the end the Burning Legion is destined to come, but most of the time, she is powerless in the face of the dense Legion warships and Sargeras, and dies of despair.
In one of the only possibilities, Varian died valiantly, Anduin was crowned king, and the final victory was achieved in a way she could not comprehend.
Shocked, Claudia looked away from the mirror and asked the goddess in a trembling voice, "Since you know, why don't you ......." ”
Elune obviously knew what Claudia wanted to ask, and she sighed: "The stronger the power, the greater the restraint, just like the Shadow, I can't interfere too much, in the physical universe, there is no being who is the opponent of Sargeras, and we can't do anything about him, so I chose Illidan a long time ago, and the Shadow, chose you some time ago." ”
