The Path of Retribution

[Kained]

Journal Entry 1:
The Day begins as usual quite a nice placid morning, I sit and pray on top of the waterfall above the dead scar just outside of silver moon. The very spot the sun shines most on, the very spot my life ended. Since the loss of my beautiful bride Julia I have lost all concepts of life, and all reality seems to be lost to me. My heart no longer beats the way it used to, and my lust for blood grows more and more. Have I become….. What I hate.

I would never let myself fall to such a degrading level. I have worked to long and hard to perfect myself in the arts of retribution to avenge and protect those who cannot themselves. I have chosen the path of a martyr no longer having anything to live for, my life is at the disposal of anyone who needs it. Such a damned curse this is, as of lately I have become quite cold. Arkaydo, this one calls himself the “plagueshifter”. He interests me, so when I can I lend my help to him. All though it is not much I do what I can.

I met a kind women named Libelle, I told her I would go to amazing feats to prove my love for her. She was still unsure of another man on her mind, I was not going to interfere with that. I do admit to this day I still have feelings for her. I only hope my death would come sooner, If she had only let me die out in the dead scar that night … all this pain would be gone. But I can’t thank her enough for her acts. I see her now constantly troubled I only wish I could ease her pain. But I know I have lost my part in her life. Libelle If only you could know I shed tears for you…. For all this pain I have caused.

Journal Entry 2:
I spent today drawing my path in blood, not quite the… most proper way but it has to be done. I come upon a stranger can’t recall the name who referred to paladins as deviates with selfish purpose, not that of justice and peace. It pains me to see people who speak of my kind so ill, But I can not help but agree with them sadly…
The Blood knights a group of corrupted swine, All of them. Most paladins seek their own goals instead of helping keep peace and order to the world around them. Kind of why I spent today Cleaning out the island of Quel’Danas, so that our friends of the horde could perform their tasks for the shattered sun offensive without the worry of those damn vermin attacking them.
I………….. Kind of enjoyed the blood on my blade tasting it…… I cant help but believe I may transforming myself in to a monster of my own. A cold blooded killer without remorse or mercy…… After all the life of a mercenary never made me this urging for blood. I must find myself tomorrow brings another day, that’s one more day to help find who I am. I should maybe atone for my sins…

Looks like it's time to sleep Time to build another camp fire outside of Farstrider Retreat next to waterfall.... beds..... how overrated...

Today I met one by the name of exanimo…… Apparently Libelles cousin. He’s quite the odd ball but not to bad a kid, Definitely the life of the party I can tell you that. As usual today I spent my day traveling azzeroth seeking a opponent who could match my strength if not beat it. No such luck… I did find a human female who seem to share the same interest in Avengement and retribution as I did. She was one hell of a fighter , But I had to kill her regardless. Gotta admit she was pretty damn cute, was a shame really….

Some things in this world I will not understand no matter how many times I approach it. But one thing that is for sure I am not a monster, I have joined the forces of The Raven Cross. I will lend my assistance to them till I am a full member of their organization. They are a good honorable system of people. I Like what have seen so far. Today otherwise was quite boring. Killed some people here and there the usual… If I am correct…..last time I checked I have slain 44157 members of the Alliance. I think I have done my part serving the horde, I might as well do something for the people I figure.

Today I licked blood off my blade…. My eyes grew red and I loved the feeling of it…. Something inside me said to me in a chilling voice, “More...Give me more power!”

It’s begun to consume me…. Hasn’t it…..

Journal Entry 5:
In my heart beats that of a living man, But does it hide more than just that…. Lately I have had cravings for blood. I have become weakened by the sun and the very light I protected seems to forsaken me now. I can’t justify the way people are looking at me, but I need to find a cure to my current condition whatever it be. Maybe I should speak to Arkaydos…. He’s quite good with this kind of stuff.

I’ll find myself today, Because I want to feel what I thought was never real. Something I have seen all along, but never seem to of put my trust in. Today I sinned… to far that maybe I can no longer help myself. I killed those incapable of defending themselves… It haunts me, I hate what I have become. I am a warrior of honor and truth, how could I fall to such grounds.

Sanctification is something I seek, I only hope Arkaydos can really help me with this… my blood lust grows more and more every day. I have learned how to control my demonic side somewhat. I can call on it for about 30 seconds but it takes its toll on my body heavily damaging the muscles and internal organs.

Tomorrow is week six of Cristoks challenge, I’m excited to see what new competitors we got. Would be nice to see another avenger like me on top….I spoke to a woman today, she reminded me a lot of Julia. I was happy for once in a long time. I smiled and I meant it.

Journal Entry 6:
To find a answer to my condition I spoke to Ad’al. He isn’t quite the speaker but I was able to understand the feeling in my heart that spoke to me when near his presence that said to me I must atone for my sins and seek my way back to the light. The very light I turned on had forsaken me for the ways I abused it cursing me with a blood lust that evolved in to something vampire like. I notice that voice that speaks to me no longer comes up as often attempting to corrupt my mind, and when it does speak to me it cry’s out in anger for me to stop.

My path has been re-directed and I feel as if my life is now back on track truly. Today I went without killing anyone, holding my holy book close to my heart to prevent myself from returning to this violent way. All though I will not give up my blade, I will use it to truly defend those to weak to defend themselves. I cannot thanks Ad’al enough for his great help.

I did ….. keep my vampiric form from this… I have learned to control it now pretty well. The great strength I gain from it is a great reward for the "Small" price it requires. Time to camp out in the woods as usual… broke like always…. I’m hungry….

Journal Entry 9:
My Vampiric side is now at my command thanks to Ad’al. He gave me a book to read which he had me recover deep within the scarlet sanctum in Eastern plague lands. This…. Side of me seems to like me more. I let myself go while inside their sanctum all I could remember were the sounds of screams and yelling. When I awoke there was nothing but blood soaked walls. I Look in to my hands covered in blood and the taste of merciless slaughter still in my mouth… It would be the last time I would let it control me. I noticed a change in my fighting pattern when I call on the Vampiric side of me, I become more brutal more ….. Carefree of the consequences to my actions. Maybe Varaimathras could aid me with this and teach me more. He being a dread Lord he must have much to teach me, but getting him to do so will be the problem…

To test out these new abilities and truly see if I did have control over myself again, I re-entered the gates of Strathlome. Taking swift judgment upon the dark souls within its gates annihilating everything in my path. It felt…. Good every bit of it, Slowly ripping the wings off those gargoyles. At one point I was in trouble when I was cornered by three undead and a banshee, Lucky for me I preformed a quick exorcism spell and hacked two of the zombies legs off allowing me to jump past them where I blocked the zombies first strike pushing him delivering a blow to his head with my blade dispersing it in to many pieces. Able to now move I left a holy seal on the ground marking it holy a consecration if you will. The other two ghouls burned in it’s holy ground as I watched them slowly die I felt slightly inhumane for what I was doing. My blade began to glow brighter with each kill, does it feed off unholy spirits…?

Without a problem I cleared out the temple district in there beginning my prayer, when the spirit of a fallen paladin approached me saying I should not be here. I killed him, Think it was him who should not of been there. Of course with every action comes a consequence, I was struck from behind lucky for me it caught the edge of my shoulder and the holy energy surrounding it forced the blade off. I turned again this time to bring my large blade from its holster on my back and defend myself blocking and parrying the attacks of some spirits apparently paladins from what I saw. I failed to parry one attack and I was hit bleeding from the lower right end of my chest area I grabbed the wound trying to hold up my sword. There really was no choice but to use my Avenging wrath which caused wings of pure holy energy to sprout from my back, the glow were bright my wounds healing and my power seeming to increase. They began to strike again this time I rotated the blade causing theirs to slip off mine allowing me enough time to quickly Sprint in to them slamming my blade against their body feeling it go through one of the spirits. The other spirit looked at me in rage seeing his comrade fall in combat, my blade slammed the angry spirit. Watching him try to block it with all his might I pushed down cutting the blade and him in two.

I finished my prayer leaving a vial of my tears on the Altar as to leave my commemoration for the fallen and left the unholy place. Quite the day it was, these new found powers will prove me well maybe Varaimathras will accept this offering I Have for him in return for some help… maybe…

Journal Entry 10:
I did my usual clean up of the undead in Western plague lands and eastern, but today seem a bit different than usual…. I found the corpse of a young woman I swore I had seen near silvermoon a while ago. I did not concern myself to much with it so I continued. I did give her a proper burial as any holy knight would of. My life has been calm with my wife nothing more to it then peaceful days and night sky. I have not entered a competition in a while due to my…. Waiting period. But I will have to wait till the champion’s tournament I guess. Nothing to big seeing as I Have been training as of lately slaying many pit lords taking them alone one on one two on one or sometimes even three on one! Lucky for me all that armor plating just causes me to fly off when I’m hit like some small projectile. But I get back up and charge them with full force slamming my mighty weapon against them crushing their bones on contact.

I Found a weapon most vile just recently, it seems to have its full demonic taint on it dripping with the blood of innocents. It glows with a purple flame and blood floats about the interior of it, the handle is etched with demonic tongue witch I can not quite understand. Its exterior is a floating metallic edging with spikes that spins and rotates …. To ensure the kill. It is most brutal indeed…. I think It could match my blade Julias power. Maybe I should not cleanse this instrument of death and use it to my advantage, while in my vampiric form I might be able to wield it with extraordinary power. A good name for this mace... Baelthos. I like it not only because it means dark light in my tongue, and the concept of it seems to be that the name only suits it well.

More importantly were did I find this weapon? A Demon wearing plated shoulders of fiery hate and a face plate with blood etching from it in the outlands near netherstorm. This demon was above his brothers he was most powerful delivering bone crushing attacks witch I managed to parry, most of them…. While fighting him I did receive a wound to my right arm as I attempted to stop the mace with my sword feeling the bone crack right through the metal of my blade. I have managed to bandage it for now and keep it safe, it is healing well. The monster had almost taken my arm for if not for my blade , I managed to dodge his next attack jumping on to his mace following up its handle striking him in the eyes leaving him blind where he went in to a blood crazed frenzy swinging his mighty weapon left and right Attacking what he could. In the process he slew his own kind tearing them to bits without a forced attempt tossing them around decimating… I was… for once afraid to die… My wife was all I could think about I had something to live for, so I had no choice but to finish this fight. He swung so hard I fell over from the wind force of it but I got up to take his head and claim my prize charging in recklessly cutting his left leg jumping to his right one severing his hamstring causing him to fall on his knees. There I jumped impaling my blade in his back climbing on to it, I grabbed one of his long hairs and climbed to his skull where I took some of my blood performing the seal of blood on his head. The seal was activated and without a second chance it caused his head to disperse in to millions of pieces. The mighty mace fell to the floor the ground shaking along with it, I of course had the bright idea to use a gnomish engineer near me to shrink the mace. I was quite prideful of my accomplishment seeing as the gnome coward in fear after seeing what I had done to that demon.

My wounds are nearly healed completely but it won’t be much longer I suppose till I can go claim my next judgment. My wife…. She is scarier than any demon sometimes
