Demortius

HE calls me. The voice is always there, gnawing at my free will and tearing my soul into two directions. Sometimes I doubt my own beliefs. And sometimes I end up back in that pit, not know what lies to believe and what truths to shun.
You may have heard the story of the Seekers of Arthas, of the grand betrayal that was seen from the Seekers' view as the prophecy of the Day of Judgement. I, Demortius, was called by Him to preach His name and call others to be Seekers. His Truth was all that mattered:
This is what we believed...
"Sylvanas is merely a puppet of the Lich King being used to test the will of the "Forsaken" so that HE can weed out the worthy. So, we can't be enemies of Sylvanas if she is merely being used by HIM. We're all undead. And to deny HIM is to deny what you are. Undead. No matter where you, as an Undead, stand, the final goal is the same. Destroy the living.
When the Forsaken was first born, it was because the Lich King lost power and Sylvanas had free will for a time. Once Arthas merged with Nehr'zul, he regained HIS power. And, he reached out with his mind again to cease control of his servants. However, he noticed the "Forsaken" and decided to use this opportunity to his advantage and planted the seeds of something great. This is HIS plan. We all know that the power the Lich King currently has, he could simply take back all of the "Forsaken" if he willed it. The truth is, he is using Sylvanas like a puppet, to test those called "Forsaken" and find out who among them are worthy. The Lich King lacks one thing in his army. Free-willed generals. That is the only weakness. Too much of the army is mindless. And if he were to gain free-willed, independent servants, they would be more dangerous than the mindless pawns that you see so often.
So, by putting up this facade and watching to see who comes around by the time the Day of Judgement arrives, HE will see who to keep free-willed and make them Generals of the Scourge, and those who fail this test will be turned back into mindless pawns.
So, if you argue that following HIM is to be mindless, then you are saying that you have failed the test. All undead, whether labeled "Forsaken" or not, have one thing in common. HIM. And to deny HIM is to deny yourself. If you cannot see this, then you have already failed the test and are condemned to a mindless existance when the Day of Judgement arrives."
Such logic could not be denied. Who could clearly say that this point of view was not possible? That is what scares me, for that voice is still in my mind, prodding me to revert to what I was, a servant of Arthas, the Lich King.
I was "reformed," as it were, by the guild known as Infection. These fellow Undead convinced me of what was lies and what was the truth. I was so lost, that I would take any guidance that came my way. And so I quickly believed them, in an attempt to regain some sort of purpose in my undeath once more.
But, a part of me, deep in my tortured soul, twists my mind into chaos and plants seeds of doubt. It grows as each day passes... I wonder if Arthas will take me again. And I wonder if I will believe in Him and his Word like before.
What IS the truth? What ARE the lies? I guess... it's begun already...
