The Fall of Lordaeron (Part II)
It's back, yes, it's back. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When I regained consciousness, I found myself trapped in a sturdy prison cart, my whole body wrapped in steel cables, and I could barely do anything except breathe.
I was fixed here, and although I was unconscious, I was also very much on the road. That's right, it's the direction of Lordaeron...
In the past, every time I went back, it would bring honor, and it was also often welcomed by the surrounding residents. I thought they trusted their crown prince and believed that life would get better because of what I did. I've been trying to do just that, using my own to make Lordaeron more and more prosperous. But now on the road, I just see the vast and sparsely populated dilapidation, and the strange stares of the people around me.... Or a strange gaze, almost like seeing a captured demon, with a blank face.
Maybe it was a rainy day, maybe they didn't see clearly that this demon was once their beloved prince, I comforted myself, but when I saw the soldiers escorting me, my illusions vanished in an instant. They didn't have any emotion, and when they realized that I woke up, they all looked at me with wary eyes, and of course there was hatred and anger in them, and there was no pity either. In particular, there were some arrows on my body that had their handles cut off, and it was obvious that the escorts had never thought of healing my wounds at all, and only let me appear to be unharmed to cope with the tasks given to them above.
I wasn't angry because I knew I had killed Uther. The people's most beloved general, but also the greatest hand of silver. And I know my status very well through this incident, yes, that is, because I am a prince... As I thought about it, I gradually denied what I had done. Those so-called merits are nothing more than to protect their own rule, their own interests, and their rights.
With such extremely negative thoughts, I didn't continue to ask for anything, or to get something. I just hope that Thassarian and they will escape the catastrophe and not die again. I instinctively prayed silently for them in my heart as before, but at this time I realized once again that I could no longer feel any holy light, and in addition to being sad, I couldn't help but be stung by another thing, that is, the arrow wound on my body.
There were countless arrow wounds on my body, but I only looked for that kind of longbow, but my body couldn't move at all, and any extra movement obviously had other meanings to others.
"He wanted to break free. ”
One soldier raised his spear at me, as did the other Silver Hands. Yes, I killed Uther, and they will think that I will do the same. I didn't do anything about it, but continued to close my eyes, but as they all leaned over to me, the peace was broken, and they began to discuss with each other.
"We're really going to bring him to the king, although it's true that he was once Alsace, but... But he is now undead. ”
"Yes, I'm also worried that he will sneak up on the king!"
When a person makes such a topic, something suddenly comes to mind, but I can't think of anything in my own head...
"Will it?"
One soldier questioned the question of the man just now, and the ensuing discussion seemed to me to realize something, like how I killed Uther, and other things.
"He's going to send out dark powers..."
"It's a pity that there are almost no mages around us. ”
"Maybe there's one in the palace..."
...............
Their discussion continued, and I was now coming to realize what I called the dark power, and it seemed that I could no longer use it. But there are no mages here, and no one uses holy light to suppress me, why is that? Why didn't they guard me at all?
I couldn't imagine the result, and my body and consciousness were not far away, so I thought indifferently, and soon fell asleep again.
I don't know how long it took for me to find myself back to my human form, and I was excited at first, but in an instant, I realized that things were hard to do as I imagined, not only because I knew that I was no longer human, but more importantly, because no matter who I was, there was only one way to get here.
"It's a dream. I looked at my almost undead body and sighed, and soon, a man appeared. Maybe it's because I'm only paying attention to my own form, so I don't know how she got close to me.
"Don't come unharmed. ”
"Yes, Queen Ysera, I didn't expect you to see me at this time. I smiled at her, yes, I wished she could keep me here forever, at least I could look more like a person than an undead, and I was able to see my father in this state, and I thought about how I could impress this female dragon. "I... I have lost any value. ”
I said this, and she couldn't help but laugh.
"Arthas, have you forgotten that with your strength, it is impossible to hide anything from me, even if it is not in the Emerald Dream Realm. ”
Well, well, I'm trying to restore the human face. Such a wish is understandable, although it may not always be realized.
"Of course I can help you, but..."
"But what?"
"If you look at this, you'll understand!"
She waved her hand, and immediately a small lake appeared, and motioned for me to look at it, I thought she was telling me to see my own face, yes, at first I saw my own face, but then a picture appeared that made me realize that she was telling me what had happened in the depths of Quel'Thalas not long ago.
It's how Kael'thas killed his father and brother, and how he summoned the portal and the huge creatures that were about to come inside.
"It's him! "I tried to think of his name, but all I remembered was that he was a powerful demon leader. "No, I remember his name. "His name was almost engraved on his heart, and now he can't say it.
"Some of your memories have been sealed by me, so you can't remember his name now. ”
"Well, yes, you're worried that my memories will be known to Kael'thas but there's no need, I think I've been forgotten by him. ”
"How could you be forgotten by Kael'thas . Recall what Kael'thas just said. ”
As he spoke, he shifted the shot from the lake. And that man was still Kael'thas, who had killed his master and was preparing to deliver a fatal blow to his father: "Just right, he did the same thing as me, and it won't be long before he will be like me again." ”
It didn't take long for me to realize his purpose, and everything that had happened during that time. Yes, if Kael'thas hated me so much, then there is no reason why he should not cut me with a thousand knives, and he actually resurrected me, and even made me do such a thing, obviously he had a purpose, such as ruining my reputation, and there was nothing more realistic than asking me to kill Uther with my own hands, and at that time, his own power and extreme emotional thinking, and the dark power that was finally released, were obviously controlled by Kael'thas.
"Damn, that's the case, I should have thought of it. Damn!"
I was furious, and it was at this moment that the lake seemed to sense something and disappeared.
"I think you know what he's going to do next?"
"He's going to let me kill my father... It's a conspiracy to resurrect me. ”
"That's right. ”
"No, I don't want to...", I shook my head vigorously, yes, I knew, she could help me, so I grabbed her hand and begged her. "You leave me here. I said this, but Ysera shook her head regretfully, and my body changed back to its original form as it touched him.
"I'm sorry..."
"Can you imprison me here..."Seeing that she had returned to her undead state, and before she could nod, she took a step back. "Can you kill me? ”
As I said this, Ysera sighed again.
"You just want to turn back into a human, right?"
"Of course, if I can do that, I'm willing to do anything I can. ”
"Well, I'll remember that, but I want to tell you that a person is really human because his spirit is a person, not because he looks like a person. ”
"But how could I stop me from killing my own father. I said this myself, because in my subconscious I was told that it was a foregone conclusion, but I didn't remember the details at all.
I shook my head painfully again, for my consciousness told me I should know something, but I couldn't remember, she sighed. "Some things are meant to be after all, Arthas. ”
"Yes, some things are predestined after all. "My consciousness tells me that there are some things that really can't be avoided. But I don't believe that Isser brought me here for that sole purpose. But the sight faded away, and I knew that the dream was coming to an end, and just as I was about to continue to look at the vanishing Ysera, hoping that she would give me some inspiration, he said something that seemed to inspire me.
"I want to see how you are redeemed. ”
When I woke up again, it was already at the gate of the royal city in the middle of the night, perhaps because I didn't want me to show it in public, so we chose this time, and our destination was not the palace, but the dungeon where Orgrim had been held.
Yes. There are some things that can't always be revealed. I thought so, and the soldiers escorted me inside.
So I was pushed into the dungeon by a couple of men tied up with huge ropes and pushed into the dungeon with a small cart, and on the way I thought I might be able to give me some time to rest. But just as I was thinking this, I found that someone was already waiting for me. And with the light of the candlelight, I also recognized his identity for me immediately in his sad and old face.
"Father..."
