Mountain Goats - Heretic Pride

Well, they come and pull me from my house And they drag my body through the streets And the sun's so hot I think I'll catch fire and burn up In the summer air so moist and sweet And the people all come out to cheer Rocks in the pathway break my skin And there's honeysuckle on the faint breeze today With every breath I'm drawing in I want to cry out But I don't scream and I don't shout And I feel so proud to be alive And I feel so proud when the reckoning arrives The crowds grow denser by the second As we near the center of the town And they dig a trench right in the main square right there And they pick me up and throw me down And I start laughing like a child And I mark their faces one by one Transfiguration's going to come for me at last And I will burn hotter than the sun I waited so long And now I taste jasmine on my tongue And I feel so proud to be alive And I feel so proud when the reckoning arrives

Awake Ye Scary Great Old Ones

Sure, opposing the Alliance is one thing, but what about the Legion's demons--and some of your kin on the warlock's path no less!

Strigine lifts a shaggy white eyebrow. “I think you missed th’ point of my little ramble.  You realize th’ Hammer is an apocalyptic death cult, aye?  And th’ risks that come with warlocking aren’t new or unusual. Th’ dangers ain’t more or less than they ever were where cultists are concerned.  What difference does it make what said apocalypse looks like?”

Her other eyebrow joins the first and a wry smile creeps across her lips. “You’re a warlock, ain’t you?  Always impressed with yourselves and I count kin in that number. Think your magics are th’ darkest and most dangerous thing there is.  Oh, save me, th’ fel magic is here!” She scoffs.  

“Aye, it is a terrible thing that’s happening. Th’ Legion is indeed a great horror t’ be feared. But my whole point is that when you’re born and raised in a suicide cult to th’ Old Ones you’re more or less ready for this sort of thing in one form or another. Awaiting it even. Takes a lot of the shock and awe out of it, I suppose. Frankly, th’ Legion is bloody late! All these aliens from Draenor but th’ demons couldn’t sort it out despite being summoned here all th’ bloody time. Tsk!”

“If you’re lookin for someone to impress with th’ dread Legion, I recommend th’ Ethereal lad.  Mention th’ Void in-particular. You’ll get a much more satisfying reaction out of th’ likes of him.  Me?” She shakes her head and raises her flagon with a smirk.  “Same shite, different Last Days.”

Aren't you worried about your kin with all those demons set to invade?

“Of course I bloody am!  But to be frank, I’m never not worried about my kin. I worry about them every day. Not just cause they’re still with th’ Hammer -which is always dangerous in itself- but because they oppose th’ Alliance and I could easily find myself facing one of my own lads in battle...or seein an ally about to cut one down and having to make a hard choice... I hope it never comes to that. I raised em up to have no fear of death or th’ End. Anything could happen. And Llew...”  She sighs and shakes her head. “But least I have a little family here where I can watch their backs...

Funny... when I was young I fancied myself all kinds of ready for th’ End of th’ world. But I also thought we’d all be together for it. I followed Moira because I’ve come t’ believe that while th’ End is inevitable there’s no real reason to be in a rush for it.  Buy some time for th’ youth and all that... but maybe this is it. Maybe we’ve bought all th’ time we can afford.

May th’ Gods Below bless us all with bedlam if that’s true. It’s not th’ sort of thing you want to be lucid for."

How do you Old God types feel about that there Burning Legion?

“Well, I’d hardly call myself that these days… Reformed and all that nonsense.” The old dwarf gestures absently with her flagon of ale. 

 “But… I do feel qualified to say th’ Hammer are of a minimum of two minds about it. Honestly th’ Legion and th’ Hammer have at least one goal in common. Burn it all down and start again, eh?  They just have different ideas of what th’ end game looks like. Th’ Legion ultimately seeks order and control. Th’ Old Gods desire freedom and chaos. So they may make use of one another -and th’ Hammer’s warlocks do like to take advantage of Legion presence- but in th’ end they’d fight for th’ End of Azeroth. 

Titan versus Old Gods. So it was in th’ beginning, so it is in th’ End.”

She takes a long thoughtful drink, gazing off into the distance. “Aye, th’ cult’ll have lots of minds about it but it’ll still ultimately mean one thing. It’d be a sign. One way or another… th’ End is nigh.”
