Shadow Trails in Azeroth

There were four brothers and sisters sitting in the dining room of the Nagfar.

Sephiel is the only outsider here, but considering the impure relationship between her and Black, she can be considered a member of the family.

The food in the restaurant was sumptuous, but except for Fenner, the other three people were in no mood to use chopsticks.

Her Highness Little Star and her evil accomplices were hiding in the next door and eavesdropping happily, but the pirates didn't want to care about them.

The little fishman who came to watch the excitement drove away the ghost musician who was playing the music with an evil voice. It sat among the pile of musical instruments, beating the drums and making very rhythmic tones.

Alas, I have to say that this little idiot does have some musical talent.

Just a bit noisy.

"Just watch the excitement, just be quiet!"

The stinky pirate shouted back, and the little fish-man curled his lips, put down the drumstick in displeasure, and then made a grinning face at Black, meaning "Why are you so angry at me?"

If you can, beat up your sister?

"Hey, you've all eaten. Why are you just sitting there stupidly?"

Fenna, who was grabbing a chicken drumstick and chewing it deliciously, raised her head and looked at her brother and sister. She showed a cheerful expression and greeted in a pleasant tone:

"Eat quickly, or the food will be cold if you don't get started. Pandaren delicacies must be eaten while they are hot. Jaina won't talk about it. She also enjoyed it in Pandaria, but Tanred hasn't eaten it, has she?

Come, take a bite of this eight-treasure elbow flower, which will make you swallow your tongue. "

"But."

Tanred glanced at his sister who was sobbing with her head down, and then at his brother who was holding a pipe with an expressionless face. He whispered to Sister Fenner who was serving him food next to him:

"The two of them."

"Shh, kid, don't ask, I'll eat your flesh."

Finna glared at Tanred.

He put a large piece of fragrant elbowflower on his plate and handed him the knife and fork. The little prince hesitated for a moment, thinking that it would be better for him to remain silent in the scene before him.

So soon, he and his sister began to enjoy this rare delicacy.

Hey, don’t tell me, it’s really delicious.

Especially for Tanred, who grew up in Kul Tiras, the dishes in front of him really made him raise his eyebrows in pleasure, and then he looked at the table full of delicious, delicious and delicious dishes, and suddenly felt sad. .

Good guy, what kind of life did I live before?

As a prince, it’s a shame to eat pig food every day!

Work hard!

The little prince took a peek at Jaina and Black, who were confronting each other, and immediately turned his grief and anger into appetite, and began to eat voraciously. He also whispered to Fenner about whether they could hire a panda chef to take care of his and his sister's daily meals at Na'thalas Academy. .

"I remember the first time I saw you after the accident was in the court of King Terenas."

Black took off his pipe and said to Jaina, who had her head lowered in front of him:

"Back then I was called 'The Orc Slayer', and our dear Lord Deathwing was still indulging in his role-playing games at court.

And when we spoke, he was less than three hundred meters away from us.

You ask me about Drake, and I'd love to tell you that he's dead, died in the fire of the red dragon, and the dragon's fire sealed his fate.

The cooperation of the sea sages and the orcs brought the life of Derek Proudmoore to an end in the waters of Khaz Modan. Your sorrow overwhelmed you, and on his corpse, a new soul was born.

After suffering a lot, he relied on the power of the curse to return to the world from the bottom of the sea.

I still remember that my first meal in the wetland was sharing a hard-caught fish with that stupid little fish man. At that time, my body was severely burned and disfigured, and I could only wear a mask to survive.

I decided to give myself a new identity and completely let go of the past.

I know that Derek Proudmoore cannot appear again, otherwise the conspiracies against me will be one after another. At that time, I was not strong enough, and I could only become a ghost wandering the world through death.

It turned out that my strategy was successful. After finally defeating the Church of Storms, I finally avenged my first death with my own hands.

Aren't you going to say something yet?

Gianna.

Do you want to remain silent against all the doubts your brother has answered for you?

Your attitude really makes me sad. This may be why I have never planned to reveal my identity to you.

You just want the flawless Drake in your memory to come back, and you don’t want Blake, the great pirate who has done terrible things to survive, to come into your life. "

"no!"

Jaina raised her head, wiped the tears from her eyes, and shouted to Blake:

"It's not what you said! It's not that I can't accept my brother becoming a pirate, I just can't accept his concealment and deception!"

"Hey, little girl, before you prepare a lie, you have to understand who you are facing."

Blake knocked on the table and stroked the black owl war helmet he had placed next to him. When his fingers touched the war helmet, a faint halo of seven-colored light spread around.

He said to the little mage in front of him:

"The experience in Pandaria not only gave you experience, but I also gained a magical power. I can sense your emotions. When you told this lie, I could feel your complicated heart.

If you really want our discussion to come to an outcome today, I think you should be more honest and not try to respond with lies to my sincerity in finally making up my mind to solve the problem.

You simply can't accept your brother turning into a pirate! "

"Yes, Jaina."

Fenner threw the chicken bones on the plate and wiped her hands while grabbing a piece of grilled fish. While sharing the delicious food with Tanred's little brother, she reminded her sister:

"I'm connected to you mentally. When you talk, I'm like a 'human lie detector.' Don't hide anything anymore. Lies hurt sincerity.

Blake is an adult and he can accept this.

You don't have to worry about hurting him with your true thoughts. "

"I can rewind time thirty seconds ago."

Sephiel beside Blake also said quietly:

"So that you can rephrase that question, my little Jaina."

Faced with the three-party siege, Jaina bit her lip in grievance. After responding with silence for a few seconds, she took a deep breath and looked directly into Blake's blue eyes for the first time.

she says:

"Yes, I cannot accept my brother becoming a pirate, and no Kul Tiran person can accept this result! You are the prince of Kul Tiras, and you are born to maintain the order of this sea, not Stand on the opposite side of it.

I believe what you said is true.

You struggled to survive in the naval battle of Khaz Modan, you had to change your appearance in order to survive, and you had to hide your identity to protect me when you first came into contact with me.

I can understand your behavior.

If we switched identities, I'd probably do the same thing.

But you have so many options to choose from, why do you have to be what House Proudmoore has been fighting against? You betray your name, you betray our heritage.

actually

In fact, I have always suspected your identity. When I was in Nanhai Town, I asked my mentor, and he has been doing his best to protect you. "

"Well, sister, let me interrupt."

Tanred, who was eating, suddenly raised his hand and whispered to Jaina:

"I am also a Kul Tiran, and I am also from the Proudmoore family, but I don't think it is an unforgivable sin for my brother to become a pirate.

Remember what Mom said to the two of us before she left Boralus after Stormsong?

For our country, there are many things that Proudmoore cannot solve, but a pirate can openly attack the 'dark pillar' that supports Kul Tiras.

If my brother had chosen to return to the family from the beginning, he would certainly not have been able to reveal the true face of the Church of Storms so easily. Not even his father could do this.

Before he appeared, no one in Kul Tiras doubted the Sea Sages. Those servants of darkness deceived the entire country, and also deceived you and me.

It was my brother who rescued us from lies. He endured the humiliation just for the sake of the country!

You can't accuse him so rudely. "

"I'm starting to like you, you stinky brother."

Fenna admired Tanred's "righteous speech". She laughed and lightly hit her stinky brother on the head. Blake also laughed because of Tanred's words.

He picked up a glass of wine, shook his head and said:

"Actually, I am not as righteous as Tanred said. Although getting rid of Hai Xian is indeed part of my plan, it is not the main reason why I chose the path of pirates.

You know, people always learn something after they die once.

I just want to change my life and experience the feeling of not being restrained and running freely. Maybe I am indeed a guy with a dark nature, but the time I spent as a pirate was indeed the happiest time in my short life. .

It turned out that I was well suited for this industry and I had everything I wanted in a very short period of time.

I prefer who I am now to who I was as Prince Drake.

That's why I'm determined to fix this today, Gianna, I try but I really can't be the perfect brother you imagine me to be.

I am a flawed human being.

Rather than continuing to be your good brother, I want to return to my life as Black Shaw.

Taking care of your emotions all the time makes me feel tired.

And I realize that continuing like this is not good for your growth. Whether it’s from my perspective or from Drake’s perspective, I think it’s time for us to end this pretending game.

As you can see."

Blake stretched out his hand and took Sephiel's slender waist. The first parasaurus cooperated and sat in the pirate's arms.

He sat on his pirate captain's chair, holding his lover in his arms, holding a pipe in his mouth and looking at Jaina.

He said:

"This is who I am now. I have abandoned Drake's name and his past, and reshaped my life and soul in the sea. My name is Blake Shaw.

You can continue to call me Drake, that's your right, but you can't ask me to go back to the old days, my sister, because that's not fair to me!

You are like a delicate but tough moon lotus, representing all the beautiful qualities in this world.

I would give you the whole world to spend your life happily.

But I also have to have my own world.

Moreover, I want to emphasize that throughout all the past contacts between you and me, I have never deceived you about anything except Drake's identity.

Including your brother fighting against darkness in a secret war, including how he saved the world several times, including how he will help those righteous partners.

It's all true.

If you know my story, you will know that although I walk between chaos and order, the things I have done for this world are no less than those of the righteous.

I think that as long as you ignore the dark parts of the great pirate's story, the rest is enough to give you an image of a great brother.

Think on the bright side, now you not only have a bright and upright brother, but also a dark, evil but handsome brother. Buy one, get one free, you make a profit. "

"Hey, this is different from what was promised!"

Fenna slapped the table in displeasure and said:

"Didn't you agree that you would use tenderness to attack? Why are you so straightforward? It's not like you don't know that everyone in the Proudmoore family is stubborn!

They decide one thing and never look back.

Although Jaina is a mage, I know how obsessed she is with her brother. She is also a stubborn donkey who knows magic. You can't be like this. "

"No!"

Blake stroked Sephiel's long hair. He looked at Gianna who said nothing and said:

"I believe that my sister is strong enough and sensible enough. She is wise enough to convince herself to accept all this, and she is also wise enough to look at it more rationally after the illusion about the 'beautiful brother' is extinguished.

I know it's cruel to take away a child's dream, but delaying it any longer and deepening her fantasy of never having it will only make things more troublesome. "

Having said this, the pirate rubbed his eyes and said:

"I am a prophet. I have dreamed of two scenes countless times, about you, Jaina, do you want to hear it?"

"explain!"

The little mage snorted stubbornly.

Blake smiled and said in a long voice in a tone that reminded people of the past:

"The first prophecy is that a few years later, terrible death will invade the Eastern Kingdom. Except for the Kingdom of Stormwind, other kingdoms will perish in that disaster. Countless humans and elves will die, and the entire Northern Territory will become hell. .

And you, my sister, who has grown up by then, will shoulder the responsibility of saving and take over the mission abandoned by Dai Lin in the most difficult times.

You will take the remnants of Northern Border to Kalimdor, where you will rebuild a home for those who have lost everything.

But as the price of protecting homeland and peace.

On a foggy morning, you will join forces with the orcs to kill Daelin, who stubbornly initiates war, on the beach outside your new country.

Having killed your father with your own hands, you persuaded yourself in countless nightmares that it was for peace. "

"impossible!"

The three guys present spoke at the same time.

But Sephiel in Blake's arms glanced at them and said quietly:

"I am a bronze dragon. I can travel through different timelines. I assure you, everyone, what my husband said is true. Jaina will indeed do such a thing in a certain timeline.

And she will regret her stupid and stubborn decision throughout her life.

Little girl.

You have no reason to hate your brother. It was his appearance that saved you from that sad ending. What He does for you is far beyond your imagination.

If I had such a brother, I would keep him at all costs. "
