Dear diary… 

We made attempts to strike out at the legion today. We took to the air to go destroy some of the legions means to attack the gates of the city. Unfortunately for me, my flight didn’t last long as the beast I was riding got hit and we fell from the sky. Lucky for me it was a few scratched, the beast might not be so lucky. I met up with the others and we attacked a demonic structure. I destroyed two of the crystals. The doors opens to two large demons and an eredar. After some conflict I was able to get onto its back and stab it through the neck. 

Taryane had arrived to the battle part way and joined in. She seemed ill from how she was fighting. The body of the eredar started to fall over her. I tried to move her but I was just too tired and slow to move us. So it landed on us both. She later expressed her unhappiness with this but doesn’t understand that I would have rather at least tried to hep her. She got hurt regardless of what I did, my injury's were just the price of failure. 

I had a look at some of the books we had whilst listening to my allies talk. Some seem to want to question my -optimism-. I am not optimistic. This fight is a losing one and so far there has been little to suggest change. The only thing changing is the number of demons and our death toll. I made a comment of needing a rest once the war was over which prompted the shade in saying that I was so sure we was going to win. Which is strange of her to say since it was her comment of what she was going to do when the war was over which prompted my response. 

I had felt better at that point and made a comment about the fight I owed Graularr. We went outside with the shades permission. We have to avoid other members of the warband because Taryane contracted a strange illness. We had our quick spar, I focused on speed and avoidance given the current enemy we are at war with. In the end my body reached its limit and I slowed down enough for him to take victory. 

We then spoke for a while before the topic eventually landed on Varo’edis. It turns out the hunter is still alive. Even after gutting himself. Graul has issues with how the hunter attacked me whilst my back was turned one time. He wants me to challenge him to a fight to earn his respect by showing strength. But the orc doesn’t realise that the hunter simply doesn’t care. He would watch me die and not bat an eye and possesses no respect for me at all. A pointless fight which I would not win wound’t achieve anything. He did however assure me that he would have my side if things turn deadly between me and the hunter. In his words, he is an outside and not part of the warband. And a demon. 

We both departed back to the top of the tower. Taryane still seems to be resting fine. I will do so now. There is no telling what the legion will do tomorrow. 

Yours faithfully

Dear diary…

Today… has been quite the day. I knew from the start it was going to be active but nothing could have readied me for what happened. First of all I leave the base and see the demon hunter varo. His presence meant what we would be leaving soon. Before we did, the shadow had a quick training spar where we all fought one another. I fought Ara’ni. She was losing at first but managed to regain herself and start making a fighting attempt. In the end I had decided it had gone on long enough so conceded the fight. We then left on windriders and found a group of demons. They were dispatched quickly but then another attack arrived. This time it was at the gates of the city. We rushed to assist.

It was a long and relentless battle. I lost my shield trying to protect some horde troops from an attack. The blade was swung by a large demon. I managed to block it but the strike knocked me back into a tree and split my shield in two. The demon came to finish me off and landed a deep cut on my leg before I was able to take its head off with a blast of light. After the battle I stood there with Sarues and Graularr. I looked over the battlefield. It reminded me of the dark times when silvermoon fell. The piles of bodies of both sides… the foul smell.

The sight of it all brought bad memories to the surface. But I vowed that I would never let my city fall again and I will not stop at stopping the legion. I will die before I allow the legion to bring down our great city or any other places on out world. I have choice to be strong and fight and that is what I am going to do. My thought was broken as Natsanna arrived to create a portal to Hillsbrad where another invasion was taking place. I stepped through with haste to assist.

During the battle I saw some horde troops falling back into a barn being forced to retreat by attacking demons. I flanked the demons as they went inside and tried my best to assist those who were trapped. I needed to leave the barn to find the others of the warband but was pinned down inside the barn. Demons endlessly flooding through the door. I radioed in before there was a loud sound and the stench of fel magic before I woke up by a lake with Ten’ji. I was sore everywhere including my face. I went back inside to rest.

Another vision came upon me whilst Ara’ni was speaking. It was me and Sylvarys again with our child. I still don’t know what these visions mean or who is doing it. I don’t know what to think of them. They are not real, and I can not let them effect me in case they are an attempt to make me weak. But who or whatever is doing it somehow knows I have always wanted a family. I decided to sit down and rest. I can’t let the visions sit on my mind and stop me from resting. Otherwise if this is an attempt to weaken me, it will be working. And I can not allow that. I must remember what is real. Sylvarys is gone and I have no family. I must stay strong to save those whose souls were lost. 

About an hour into my rest there was another attack. We managed to fight them off and I managed to live through it. I took no wounds I couldn’t recover from. I now sit here thinking about all I have to lose. And how I will stop at nothing to make sure the things I value stay safe. I have to be strong for those who can’t. I will stand and I will face down and destroy any demon that comes onto this world.

Yours faithfully
