The tale of what shaped the rest of my days in World of Warcraft.
It was a sunny day, up there in the Redridge Mountains. Come to think of it, it always seemed to be sunny up there, inbetween the sandy peaks.
My little warrior princess was send on an errand to venture deep into a cavern. For what, I am not even sure anymore. It could be that she was send there to defeat a couple of troublesome creatures. It could also be that she was send there to escort out a helpless soul in need.
Whatever the reason was, troublesome creatures could be found there either way! Armed with her sword and shield, clothed in some ugly, dented armor, she braved her own fears and started her battle.
Even before entering the cavern, she had already defeated plenty of enemies. Oh yes, they were crawling all over the place! She continued on and ventured closer and closer to the cavern's opening... Almost there now...
That's when it happened...
From inside the cavern, my little warrior princess could hear the dying sounds of her enemies. But how could this be? She wasn't even close yet!
A couple of seconds later, she found the cause. A big, shadowy blob came running (or was it floating?) out of the cavern, leaving death and carnage in its tow. A quick peak inside the cavern showed none were left alive to tell this tale.
None, but our warrior princess.
Looking behind her, she saw the shadow getting smaller and smaller, until it turned a corner. Then, she was alone. No more enemies were there to attack her. All that was left, was silence. Silence, and awe.
Awe for the ease with which this shadowy blob had dealt with all of its enemies. Awe at how gracefully it had moved. And yes, even awe, at how badass it had looked!
Our warrior princess quickly ran into the cavern to finish her own quest. While walking back to Lakeshire, she knew one thing for certain: This was a day she would always remember.
After that experience, my friends, I figured out it was a shadow priest our warrior princess had seen. My warrior princess never did make it out of Redridge Mountains by my hand. I moved onto my new priest, and never looked back!
This is the story of how I decided to play a shadow priest in the MMO game World of Warcraft. It happened while I was playing on my brother's account. Both characters were eventually abandoned by me, because I got my own account. Both characters, however, have later been put to good use by my brother! I've played shadow priest almost my entire WoW career. Even through Legion, I played my shadow priest, though I switched to my mage for a main.
Thanks to @acidyo for sparking this idea through a little conversation about WoW on @whaletrump's WotLK expansion review post. Best WoW expansion ever, by the way!
Sorry for not using images of Redridge and my shadow priest. I never played WoW on this particular pc and all of my screenshots are still in my home, 1 hour away from the cabin we live in now. So I used the only WoW screenshots of my own making that I had left online.
I hope you liked this little tale!
