Planning on route_29

[forcefateshand]

Let me see if I understand this correctly, mundane. And certainly a better word there could not be for you.

You intend to take me from directly after my... battle with Arthas, send me to this new realm where I will lose my powers, my weapons, and my very species, being turned into a human, and when I arrive there, you intend for me to embark on a journey to master the art of a new form of combat...

Using tamed beasts which are captured in tiny magical balls.

... I have been called insane before. Several times. There may very well be a few elements of truth to it, even. As I told Maiev, isolation for as long a period of time as I was subjected to can do terrible things to one's mind. But in one burst of monumental idiocy, you have outdone me in that area completely.

I would almost be impressed if I were not utterly furious.

[This strange being seemed to remind Terra of someone close to her...Maduin could it be? she thought. She always wanted to meet him.]

Father?

[forcefateshand]

[Well, that was one reaction he hadn't been expecting. Illidan turns and stares... not quite at her, but in her direction. The glowing green spots underneath his blindfold seem to slide over her somehow.]

You are mistaken, little half-human. I have no children.

[esper_kin]

I'm sorry I have mistaken you for someone else.

[He looks exactly like him....could this esper be related to him.]

[forcefateshand]

What interests me is how that could be possible. My... appearance is unique, to my knowledge.

[Just what is this girl?]

[merelyasetback]

My, it seems you've been dealt a rather unfortunate hand, my lord.

[forcefateshand]

[He sighs.] I will deal with it. It can't be as bad as dealing with Maiev for ten thousand years.

... Of course, that could be very much considered damning with faint praise.

[honeygatherer]

Miki thinks you should be better prepared about what you're heading into!

That was horrible. And yet I laughed.

[forcefateshand]

[He scoffs.] Believe me, human. I know more than you ever could about being prepared.

I aim to please. Also I can't stop spazzing about an Illidan in Route :D

[honeygatherer]

Oh, is that so? Then Miki wants to know who your starter Pokemon will be.

He needs to be in more games.

[forcefateshand]

If you must know, it is called a Gible.

[It is going to bite him repeatedly and he's just going to lineface.]

[darknessb4me]

I hope you at least remember it correctly.

[forcefateshand]

[Do you hear that snarl, Arthas? That is the sound of complete and utter rage.]

A lucky blow. We both know that battle could have gone either way.

[darknessb4me]

At the Lich King's seat of power? Not likely.

[ha ha this is not true.]

[forcefateshand]

Being there, empowered by him, was all that let you even have a chance. You were obscenely lucky that day.

[Wherease Illidan is obscenely unlucky, all the time, forever.]

[darknessb4me]

Don't forget the reason you even had those wings.

[forcefateshand]

That is beside the point.

[darknessb4me]

No. You're underestimating Ner'zhul's reach both times.

[forcefateshand]

Am I? He couldn't reach far enough to stop me from breaking his throne around him. If my brother and that wretched warden hadn't interfered, he'd have lost then. Or are you suggesting he had a hand in that as well?

[darknessb4me]

Certainly he knew you were an unknown factor. But you'd already played your part.

[forcefateshand]

The destruction of Tichondrius? I would have found a way to accomplish that regardless.

[Somehow.]

[darknessb4me]

And the disposal of Gul'dan, as it happens.

[forcefateshand]

Gul'dan? What would-

[Memories of Gul'dan start stirring in him from the skull, answering that question very effectively.]

... Ahhhh, so the Lich King is not beyond revenge. Even after he was dead, though I suppose that means less to the Scourge and its master.

[darknessb4me]

Very little.
