I dunno if you've ever heard that Demon Hunters are attracted to gods, demi-gods, and titans, but it's the truth. I could never understand why until now. The colors that the demi-goddess emitted were bright and flashy and warm, almost. I was so mesmerized by the light lavender, I wrapped my gaunt arms around the naga. I didn't even mind as I felt spear tips poke against my skin.
There were a few garbled sentances exchanged. But you could barely understand. But the frazzled images of the War of the Ancients blew me away. So many deaths, so many colors. So much blood, so much…suffering. And I enjoyed every bit of it. I wanted to see more. But then different images filled my head. Sargeras transforming her, and Malfurion killing her.
Next it was my turn. I showed how Sargeras transformed me. How the bastard saved me from jumping off of a cliff into the depths of hell. But, as hard as I tried, I couldn't fight off images of Orian. I know she saw my trip to Naxxramas. And my pact with the Lich King. Who knows what else she saw.
"I do want to tell you this Eternus Firemoon," the Naga queen said. "Heigen the Unclean's power is quite useful…I suggest taking it for your own personal use." Now, that someone had actually said it, I thought it might be a good idea too. "Secondly, be warey of your pact. That bastard is using you as you are using him. For what purpose he is using you is not my place to reveal." She turned toward the other naga poking me with their spears. "Lower your weapons! Does it honestly look like she has intentions of killing me?"
"Why did you come ashore Queen Azshara? Everyone believes you're dead or living at the bottom of the maelstrom," I asked stepping away from the Naga about my size. "And I thought you were about 20-25 feet tall."
"Ha! Ha! Ha! I am 20 feet tall, however, Titans, Gods, and Demi-Gods can change their forms as they please," she explained. "And obviously, I am not dead and do live at the bottom of the maelstrom but I roam where I please. And when I found you were near the ocean I figured I'd pay you a visit."
How nice of her? I didn't quite understand what was going on here. I was also beginning to get the impression that there was a lot more going on than I thought there was.
"Don't worry. As your journey, your destiny in this world continues I will be there," the giant snake-woman explained. "Though, for what even I don't see yet." She paused. "And as to symbolize my pact with you I want to offer you this." I watched as two purple naga emerged from the ground in my vision. I clearly knew they were coming out of the sea though. They were carrying something. As Azshara pulled it out of the chest I was surprised I could actually see it. It was a long, gold dress with long sleeves and no back.
"I don't get it…how can I…" I started.
"See it?" Azshara interrupted. "Because it was made with you in mind. We made it with enchanted thread so you could see it. Do you like it?" I think I did. I wished it was pants though… However, I accepted it anyways because I was attracted to the color like a bug to a lantern. I knew she knew that I couldn't resist putting it on, which I couldn't.
"I am serious about that power though," Azshara said, suddenly serious now. "Go to Naxxramas and claim it. Trust me, Heigan already knows. He already has seen my approaching you and suggesting it. He knows his life is forfeit to you on this day."
The thought of taking Heigan's future seeing powers was too enticing. I flew to the Necropolis directly. Though all the way, I could hear the Lich King chuckling all the way. I didn't bother with the portal like last time. I flew striaght up into the Plague Wing. Completely skipping Noth, I landed before Heigan.
"I saw you coming…I wondered if you'd be able to resist the thought of taking my power," he said looking down at the ground. I said nothing. I raised my hands like talons and began absorbing his power. I watched as the liquid-like purple energy began to flow from his body into my hands. At first, the energy was a little chilly but it was refreshing. I watched as his lifeless corpse fell to the ground. I heard a small voice from behind me.
"Heigan make Eternus mad?" the voice squeaked loudly. I turned around to see Patchwerk and everyone else looking at me oddly. I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out.
"No, remember Patchwerk? Heigan said that it was okay for Eternus to have his life," Noth explained. Patchwerk nodded and approached me.
"If Eternus want Patchwerk life, Eternus can take it," he said and sat down with a thud. The sudden thud caused almost everyone to fall over and I'm pretty sure the entire Necropolis hangs a little bit lower now. But then I heard the Lich King chuckling inside my head again, louder than ever. I began to scan his head, trying to find out what he was laughing about. However, I could only make this conclusion; he as definitely hiding something from me and I couldn't get to it. I began trying to pick away at his thoughts trying to uncover what he was thinking but it wasn't working out at all. His laughing only intensified and my mind was beginning to get tired. I lied down. I thought I could use a nap for awhile.
