The Fallen Protectors
Written to Let Her Go by Passenger
Mistahtea - troll monk - Windwalker
We walked up de dark hallway an' staircase outta Immerseus' chamber, pausin' in a square chamber dat had a large platform in de center of it. De only way out seemed ta either go backwards, or find a way ta open a hole in de wall so we could charge on t'rough. We looked 'round de chamber, lookin' for any hidden levers or buttons until we finally began ta discuss givin' up an' headin' back de way we'd come."Seems silly that the Pandaren would build a passageway that goes nowhere." Commented Sabaak. De paladin was eyein' a decorative plate in de wall. "Unless they wanted to trap their enemies."
"I doubt that's a Pandaren thing to do," responded Niarweaver. Her voice rang deep, deeper den a girl's voice should be. She crossed her arms over her stomach and watched de same decorated plate Sabaak was starin' at. "There's gotta be something here. A lever or a switch. Something."
"Well, that gives us a choice," began Greymoon. De Tauren Druid had started movin' toward Niarweaver, his great hooves clompin' on de floor. "We either go back or we see if we can break down a wall."
Greymoon continued forward until finally he stepped onta de raised platform in de middle o' de room. He paused wit a surprised snort as he sank a few inches inta de floor. I jerked as I felt rumblin', lookin' around like de room was gonna suddenly cave in on us. 'Stead, de decorated plate in de wall, de one Sabaak and Niarweaver had been studyin', suddenly began ta move an' slide upwards, revealin' anuddah staircase.
"So," began Kyel, "who's going up first?"
Lorewalker Cho was halfway up de stairs 'fore Kyel even finished his sentence. De rest o' us, we followed at a more sedate pace, 'cause we had no idea what was waitin' for us at de top.
'Course what was dere was somethin' I ain't liable ta forget for de rest o' my life.
It was de Golden Lotus protectors o' de Vale - Rook, Sun, an' He. Dey didn't look like demselves, d'ough. Dey looked... wrong. I faintly heard Lorewalker Cho talkin' ta dem, but half o' de group had already jumped down ta de ground below, so I followed dem. As soon as I touched de ground, I knew what had happened ta de Protectors.
De pagoda dey used ta stand under, de pagoda in de middle o' de Vale, had been shattered. No doubt done when Garrosh had unleashed de Sha in de Vale. De pagoda had exploded, had fallen on top o' dem, crushin' dem beneath heavy stone an' leavin' behind only dere ghosts, de remnants o' dere guilt an' sadness. De Protectors had fallen. And now we were gonna free dem from spendin' eternity in torment.
Anger surged in me. Dey had been my friends, people I worked beside ta help protect de Vale from de Mogu. And now... now dey was gone. I gathered my strength and made de transition from Mistweaver ta Windwalker. Dey didn't deserve an existence like dis, trapped between life an' death, full o' regret.
"Rook first," said Xallion. "Den Sun, den He. We gotta release dem from dis hell."
Murmurs of assent whispered t'roughout de group and everyone readied dere spells an' swords.
"On ya, Grey, Niar." Xallion said.
De death knight and bear looked at each other, den Greymoon began a little countdown for de rest o' us, 'fore he charged in, right at He. Niarweaver went for Rook an' Sun. I launched myself at Rook, tapped inta a spell an' sent my clone flyin' at He.
Suddenly Sun cried, "You will suffer from our failure!"
It was all de warning we got before she unleashed a shadow attack dat hurt. Between Xallion and Nph, d'ose of us dat got hit hard were soon fulla energy again. I saw Rook flag suddenly, den cursed as I realized I couldn't hit him anymore. Three small protectors, Anger, Misery, an' Gloom, appeared on de field. I rushed toward Gloom, barely makin' it in time 'fore Helpfuldeath hauled off an' hit it hard 'nough ta stun it. I saw Schio's minion, a creepy li'l floatin' eyeball, discharge its attack of Gloom, followed by a quick silencing shot from Julip, an' a few seconds later from Nakti. Den Gloom suddenly went airborne, and I hauled myself around and focused on Sun.
She was a tough one, dat Sun. I was hittin' her hard as I could, an' I didn't feel like I was doin' much damage ta her. I heard Rook cry out somethin' 'bout brawlin' wit him, but barely felt more den a breeze. I kept focused on a Sun until I couldn't hit her anymore. She cried out, "Protectors! Come to my aid!" and de world around me had suddenly darkened; dere was a transparent black dome above us. Outside o' it, was two solid black Pandaren, each one wit his hands raised ta de sky, summoning little shas ta attack us. I focused on d'ose, watching de girls an' Kyel focus down de two Pandaren. It was over inna matter o' minutes, an' den Sun was attackin' again, like nothin' had happened.
"Watch out!" I heard Nph yell. "There's poison right underneath you!"
I didn't know who he was talkin' to, but I side-stepped anyway - dere was a puddle o' green stuff bubblin' on de ground close ta where it'd been standin' - an' kept up my attack on Sun and Rook, whole everyone turned ta focus on He. Greymoon was doin' his best ta keep He's attention on him an' not on de rest o' us.
Den, suddenly, I couldn't move.
"What de hell...?!" I yelled, an' 'fore I could even react, I got hit hard in de face. I looked up den inta de eyes of a vicious lookin' Pandaren. I didn't know it den, but dat Pandaren was called de Mark o' Anguish, an' it hit like a goblin shreddah. I fought 'gainst it long as I could, and den I looked toward Helpfuldeath. He nodded quick and I turned de Mark's attention toward him. Helpful held it for a few minutes more, den passed it over ta Greymoon. It vanished soon after he got it.
I wish it'd ended right dere, but it didn't. We launched anuddah full-out assault against de t'ree fallen Protectors, first engagin' Rook, den Sun, den finally He 'gain. Each time we brought dem down some, dere little friends appeared good as new, forcin' us ta fight dem instead o' one a de Protectors. Right when de Mark o' Anguish fell, I heard Helpfuldeath call out, "Xallion, do that thing shamans do."
"God dammit." Xallion exhaled in a deep sigh before he activated his bloodlust ability. Power filled me, rage soared through my veins. I focused on my targets - Rook and Sun - and threw a flurry o' punches an' kicks, while my clone an' de others focused on He. Dis time, none a dere little friends came out ta help dem in de fight, but it still didn't seem ta get any easier. Rook still kept pullin’ us in with his brawl attack, Sun kept using her shadow attack, an’ He kept layin’ poison.
One by one, wit'in seconds o' each other, dey fell. I watched wit sadness in my heart as dey closed dere eyes for de last time.
Lorewalker Cho gave a movin' eulogy for dem, I think. I wasn't listenin'. We were already movin' on, across de Vale toward a tunnel dat led deeper underground.
