Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"You are so imaginative!"

In the small restaurant, after Blake finished speaking his thoughts, he was immediately scolded by Aegwin.

The former guardian stood up and said:

"That's not how the thread of fate works. You can't replace Medivh to do what he has to do."

"Do you want your son to live?"

The pirate's voice was louder and more reasonable, with a hint of impatience.

He said:

"Magna Aegwynn! You are the guardian of Tirisfal, you were once the most powerful woman in the world, you were a member of the maintenance of magical order, and you were the most powerful demigod in human civilization!

But you are terrible at all of the above tasks!

Your life is filled with countless failures.

Your middle name should be Headstrong and your nickname should be Arrogant!

But the worst job you can ever have is being a mother.

What you did to Medivh was a disgrace to this sacred word. How many times has he seen you in his life since he was a child? How many birthdays have you spent with him?

How many warm memories of you do he have in his life?

If I hadn't known the truth, I would have even thought that Medivh was an orphan adopted by Master Elan from an orphanage. That poor child had to work with Llane Wrynn to steal milk from King Baratheon's queen since he was a child!

He was raised by his single father with great hardships.

The meaning of your existence in his life is nothing more than providing him with a uterus to grow for ten months and giving him a very irresponsible share of strength.

By the way, a curse was born on him!

Haven't you ever considered why your mother-son relationship is so tense?

you!

I don’t even know how to describe you!

You are simply the worst, most irresponsible mother Azeroth has ever seen! "

Blake's voice became louder and louder, echoing in the small restaurant like muffled thunder. He shouted loudly:

"And what I am offering you now is an opportunity for you to become the most perfect mother in the world. But you talk about mission with me? Talk about destiny with me?

Let me ask you, do you want to be a bad person who sacrifices his son to save the world?

Or do you want to be a qualified mother?

Well, look.

You are still hesitating, you are still thinking?

never mind.

I take back my words.

A person like you is not worthy of being the mother of a child or the wife of a man. You are just a heartless monster.

After Sargeras went mad, he was bent on recovering the souls of his brothers and sisters.

Kil'jaeden became possessed and slaughtered the stars, just to find his beloved brother.

do you know?

You're worse than them!

You are a hundred times worse than the destroyer of worlds you think you are!

It was a mistake for me to come here. Perhaps by locking himself in the library and not seeing you again, Elan has seen through your cold nature.

You are just a lunatic who puts the safety of the world above the life of his own son.

Sacrifice your son to fate in exchange for the survival of the world. What is the difference between you and those cultists? Is this what you call justice?

Maybe that's what Medivh wanted to do.

But isn’t your duty as a mother to wake up your son with a slap in the face when he behaves foolishly? "

"That's enough! Blake!"

In the soul-inducing lamp placed beside the dining table, Merry Dongfeng's soul could no longer listen. He emerged as a ghost and wrapped around the soul-inducing lamp like a genie.

He scolded Blake:

"Little Aegwynn's contribution and sacrifice to this world are beyond your comprehension. You cannot attack her with such vicious words! You are just using your dark wisdom to confuse two completely unrelated concepts!

Aegwynn knew her son would do great things.

She just fulfilled his greatness.

This is how she loved her son, you can’t understand this sublimeness.”

"Her so-called greatness is to send her only child to die with her own hands! Die twice! You old madman!"

"stop fighting!"

The quarrel between Blake and Merry Winterwind became louder and louder. On the other side of the dining table, a frustrated Aegwynn raised her hand and interrupted her friend's defense of her.

She clutched the magic pendant tightly in her hand, and when she raised her head, her eyes were already red.

"He's right, Merry, I don't deserve to be a mother. I'm not as noble and selfless as you think. Every night after Medivh died, I couldn't sleep.

It wasn't until I actually lost him that I realized what I had done.

He just.

He just bluntly said what I was thinking, I wanted to resurrect my son, Meri, and then take him away from these hellish things forever.

I am no longer the fearless Magna Aegwynn back then. I am now just a person waiting to die who lives in seclusion in the swamp and lives by relying on a few memories.

There are dark thoughts echoing in my heart, growing every difficult night.

Maybe I no longer care about life and death in this world.

I came here just wanting my son to live. "

Aegwynn gritted her teeth, as if she had given up on herself, and she screamed:

"Merry! Tell me, a world where my son is no longer alive! Why should I try my best to save it? Why!!!"

"boom"

As the magic shook, all the glass in the entire small restaurant shattered in an instant. The roaring wind of magic swept through everything around it, shattering the dining table and blasting open the door.

The dance party going on in the outside world was also interrupted, and the ghosts of the nobles who were indulged in happiness turned back one after another.

"boom"

A gunshot sounded overhead, and the pirate's cold voice said:

"It is disgraceful to eavesdrop on other people's family affairs! Everyone, the dance is over, get out!"

"Who are you! Why do you do that?"

There were still souls who wanted to refute, so Blake grabbed the Skull of Gul'dan at hand. After a month of long CD, the power of demonization rolled around his arm.

Blessed by the gloomy and evil power, the pirate's voice became low and cold.

"I told you to get lost!"

The light of evil energy spread across the entire ballroom, scaring the souls of the nobles into running away. Skeleton guards came to maintain order. After a few minutes, the entire banquet hall fell silent.

"Sorry, I was a little out of control."

The pirate dropped the Skull of Gul'dan. He shrugged and said to the people in front of him:

"Shall we continue? In addition, Ms. Aegwynn, the night elf archdruid far away in Mount Hyjal, and the senior family man Fandral Staghelm, have given you a thumbs up for what you just said.

do you know him?

Maybe you should get to know him.

I think you two must have a lot in common. "

Blake's sarcastic remarks failed to elicit approval from the others.

At this moment, the old butler Moros looked at Blake with a strange look, and complex emotions shone in his undead eyes.

But what is certain is that there is no hatred or disgust in it.

And what Aegwynn finally said after being attacked by Black's vicious words also made the old mage Meri Dongfeng shut up. This old man who has lived for three thousand years is a single man.

He devoted his life to magic and never married or had children.

It was indeed difficult for him to understand the complicated emotions in Aegwynn's heart at this time, but he also had a mother, and he could understand the meaning of those two words.

Anyone who has a mother can understand.

"So, is this the reason why you live in seclusion in Kalimdor?"

The old mage said in a complicated tone:

"You are not afraid of being hunted by Dalaran and the Council of Tirisfal after losing your power. You just can't let go of the mistakes you made, so you chose self-exile.

I'm sorry, little Aegwynn, I never knew you were having such a bad time and being in such pain. "

"nothing."

Old Mrs. Aegwynn turned around and wiped her tears.

When she looked back, the magical disguise on her body had dissipated, and she returned to the beautiful body of her youth from the posture of the silver-haired old lady.

She truly lost her guardian powers.

But without that, she is also a genuine archmage.

It is not difficult to use magic power to stay young.

And showing this true attitude also means that Aegwynn has made up his mind.

"The day I became an official mage, I swore to protect the world."

Aegwynn took off an old violet badge from the collar of his robe, rubbed it on his fingers a few times, then closed his eyes and threw it in front of Merry Winterwind's soul.

She said firmly:

"I have worked for this world for more than eight hundred years. I am tired. This is my resignation, Merry. Take it back and give it to Antonidas!

Tell that stubborn guy that from today on, I just want to protect my son.

My Medivh will no longer be a threat to this world.

A newborn baby is no threat to anyone!

If he dares to send people to disturb me again, I will demolish his ruined city! "

"I am Magna Aegwynn, the mother of the last guardian Medivh! I, a careless person who has indulged myself for more than eight hundred years, finally understand the meaning of the family I once dismissed.

My waiting and my confession have all been favored by fate.

I had given up on the world and was ready to live another life with my son.

Take my manifesto back, Merry.

Tell Antonidas and the whole of Dalaran that if he dares to disturb me and my family again, I will let him know that I, an old dog, also have a few teeth! "

After dropping the declaration, Aegwynn snapped his fingers, and disappeared into the messy restaurant in the light of teleportation.

"Look what you've done!"

The soul of Merry Dongfeng turned around, looked at Blake with a gentle face, and said:

"You ruined a prophet who should have been great."

"But I saved a family that was on the verge of being broken up."

Blake wiped his eyes playfully and said:

"I may be crazy, but when Ms. Aegwynn said she wanted to be a qualified mother, well, it was really touching. You heartless monster, Merry Winterwind, your life has been nothing short of..."

"That's enough! Don't use that on me! You villain! I don't have any mental flaws for you to attack."

The old mage said angrily:

"Use the future you told me, in the history that has not yet happened! Without Medivh, what will be the future fate of human civilization? Do you really think you can shoulder that burden?"

"Come on, Merry."

Black held the soul-inducing lamp and walked out of the restaurant while quarreling with the old mage:

"Before coming here, you simply thought that resurrecting Medivh was to protect the human kingdom. How much do you know about what he will do in the future?

What do you know about the fate of the entire world?

Admit it.

I am oblivious.

In this regard, you have no say. You are just a ghost who has lived for three thousand years and is full of strange knowledge.

As for the fate of the human world? "

The pirate said in a relaxed tone:

"Laughing to death, I have no intention of fulfilling the so-called prophet's responsibility. If they have to rely on the reminder of a prophet to survive, those losers should just die.

You have no idea why I do this.

Without Medivh's nonsense, Jaina would not be on the road of no return.

You saw me saving Medivh's family, but you didn't see that I was actually saving my family.

Well, you're so stupid, Meri. "
