My name is Terger
I used to serve the Lich King
as a Death Knight
Before that
I used to serve Baal Lizard
This is looks like my walk of shame
The walk of the Death Knight
But I have a few surprises for my ex-employers
Under the Lich King's control
I killed many people
many of them innocent farmers
their families...women and children
None escaped the Master's wrath
and I was his weapon of mercilessness
I did it because I was told to
and because it was fun
I enjoyed the evil that I was doing
I enjoyed hurting others
especially the innocent, and the weak
Hearing others scream, suffer, and cry
tickled some sort of sick, sadistic demon in me
In Baal Lizard's service
I also killed many people and many monsters
I did it because I was told that it had to be done
I was told that the entities that I killed were evil
Yet, somehow...some way
a voice within me whispered
"What if?"
"What if we are mistaken?"
"What if there's another way?"
Yet I always muffled the voice or ignored it
Because my tasks were again...fun
Even when I discovered that VanCleef of the Defias Brotherhood
was actually the victim of the very rulers that I was serving
Somehow, some way
I still managed to help in his assassination
and I was handsomely rewarded for my deed
Somehow
I kept convincing myself
that I was doing the right thing
And I guess...
serving the Lich King
was only a natural continuation for my journey
as a servant, a puppet
and a slave
a brainwashed slave
The people of Stormwind
were far from happy to see me
as the Death Knight I became
entering their capital
I felt like I barely made it
through the gates and alleyways
guards with swords staring me down
every few steps
Perhaps I made it alive through the city
only because I made sure
not to keep any weapons on me
I wasn't planning on talking to anyone
other than the king himself
but I wanted to send a message to everyone else
that I come in peace
just by the way I looked
and walked through their city
My new master thought
that I was going to deliver his message
to the king of Stormwind
But I was actually going to the king
so I can deliver my own message
Sir
I am leaving Azeroth
For good
I quit
I exit this city
this place
to never come back
I am done doing your bidding
wasting my life away
in serving corrupt leaders
greedy corporations of merchants
and blind hatred
I'm done enjoying the suffering of others
Done causing others misery
Done ganking and being ganked
Done hoarding meaningless accomplishments
and trivial trinkets
Done building castles in thin air
There's a world out there that needs me
and my brethren
There's a real world of real emotions
real suffering that needs a helping hand
not a sword and shield
There's a family
that wants even a sincere smile from me
There are problems out there
that need to be solved
with anything
anything other than war
Yes, Sir King
I am done serving you
the Lich King
or Baal Lizard
I don't need to know
that there's any conspiracy
against the people of Azeroth
or any other world
The very wasting of my life away
in meaningless conflicts was enough for me
Our world can become a much better place
with options other than conflict and war
with activities
other than sheer fun from conflicts and war
I'm sure there's a completely different
world of fun out there
a whole other meaning of fun out there
I just need to reach out for it
and find it
And I can
Because I'm free
I am free
