User blog:EllenEagle/A time came

There once was an elf who followed the light and she knew that she would die one day, and that scared her. It scared her so much that she took every possible route to discover a way to escape it. She had centuries where she wanted millennia. A time came where she set herself on a path to find immortality.

The light did not grant her immortality, so she turned to simple magic.

Simple magic did not grant her immortality, so she turned to the arcane.

The arcane did not grant her immortality, so she turned to demons.

The demons did not grant her immortality, so she turned to the scourge.

The scourge granted her immortality,

but it did not grant her free will.

There once was an elf who heard the voice of the Lich King in her head and found it soothing. She did not need to think, she did not need to feel, and the calm in her mind was a form of bliss she had never dreamed of having before. The answers were given instantly. The price for her eternal life was the taking of countless others, and she paid it with a simple ease.

A time came where she was sent to take a life of a sin’dorei, and he pleaded for his life. Fel-green eyes stared to scourge-blue eyes and they left her with a question that disturbed the blissful calm she had held in her mind. Was immortality worth her very soul? She did not have an answer.

The people she killed did not have an answer, so she turned to the scourge.

The scourge did not have an answer, so she turned to her fellow knights.

Her fellow knights were too scared to have an answer, so she turned to hope.

Hope carried her through until she came to a place of the Light, and she broke free,

But she did not have an answer,

and the voice of the Lich King was gone.

There once was an elf who wanted to live forever, and so she did. A time came where she decided to find an answer.

Started as brainstorming, ended up as verse. Figured I'd throw it on here.
