(no subject)
I walked the halls of the Nexus, and I couldn't help feeling...the loss. Something was off...the might that coursed in my body was no longer there.
I had a vision last night...after I did the unthinkable. I never expected to lose sight of the path I have chosen since I was ten.
Every year...nay, every time I rose a notch over myself...I walked deeper into my path.
The path of Retribution.
I walked IN the Light, sister. I walked with the Light. I didn't call on its strength and wisdom to protect me...I called on it to smite my foes.
My eyes...they can never forget the blaze of my mace as it struck down minions of the darkness.
I cannot even remember the...words, that brought the Light to my side, enveloping me with its might, as mystical hammers crushed my enemies, and as they left-- my body was made anew.
I was in pursuit of Justice. I called on the purity of my enemies, and gave them a chance! I embodied the Respect...the third virtue of the Light.
And some accepted my calling...and some did not.
I was in Command. I felt the power...I WAS the power.
My blood...I spilled it over my blade in sacrifice. I willingly laid out my blood, showing the Light my gift of dedication...the gift it gave me! And it appreciated it, and made me strike even harder!
My word is my law, sister. And my law is my Judgment of Justice.
The compassion you taught me...is my Judgment of Light.
The wisdom in which you reminded me of my fathers...is my Judgment of Wisdom.
But I learned something else from you...
I cannot fight for my own anymore.
I must fulfill another part...a part that made me lose countless of my brethren as our brother betrayed us.
I have forgotten my Tenacity. I have forgotten my Compassion in my years of solitude...as I wallowed in the Hunt.
I knew that...the day you fell in my arms...that if I didn't fulfill my destiny...my duty as more then just a fist of justice...I would lose my new family.
I feared for you...and...
I cannot walk two roads...if it means to lose my...strength, in order to protect you...then my strength means nothing.
I will walk the Path of Retribution once more, sister. I promise you that.
But as long as I walk by you...I will be your protector.
I will walk the Path of Protection. I will fight longer then I ever did. I will remember the righteous fury I embodied, before I was consumed in cold hatred.
The Crusader in me will die...for you to live.
The Ardent Defender in me will rise...
And if the time comes...and if I fail to fulfill what my duty is as I walk this path...
I will slay the Defender in me...so that the Beacon of Light in me will protect you.
If that, too fails...I would be helpless.
If it means my life...I will call on the Light for one last wish.
To intervene...and that sacrifice will not go...unnoticed.
If the time comes...I will rise.
And fulfill...whatever I must.
The Argent Crusade is my calling...love.
And I hope it is your calling...as well.

Retribution is at Hand
Ya'll must be wondering what this is all about...
Well...I respecced!
Derrick is no longer a Retribution Paladin. He's a Protection Paladin now. And he's doing good so far!
Believe it or not...we (me, 71 Protadin, 72 Death Knight, 72 Warrior, 68 Rogue, and a 75 Priest) went through the Nexus. And at the first boss, the crazy Blood Elf, the Warrior, the Rogue both died at the split-personality thing, and the Death Knight died. So Sakuya and I (The Priest and I) were two-manning it basically.
And DAMN! I got her!
I was like : "Holy crap! We're going to lose!"
But I kept the fight up so long...that eventually she was on 4k health! I called on Avenging Wrath, and I tosses three Hammers of Wrath, and she was dead!
I was, "Oh, yeah! Respec all you want, but you can't get the Retadin out of me!"
The priest made some funny notes on the dudes. She has an awesome sense of humor. She also likes all the Machinima I watch.
"Did I tell you Prot Paladins are sexy?"
Well, I felt cool. xD
I made a big sacrifice and had a great experience today. Bad news is: Aisha got pissed (PMS) and got me some valentine chocolate. She's my sister, readers. Anyway, she asked me to log out, and I got sort of pissed, and said when she was disapproving, "You know, these people are just as real as you! Just because they're in a game doesn't make them less important then people in front of you!"
She fell silent, but then she went to her room and went all quiet-like...so I got a little uneasy. Sakuya said that her family was having dinner or something, so she had to log. I had to lag out. >_> I hate to lie...but what can I do?
She's nice, by the way. Should I add a character in RIAH that resembles her...?

This is Abdul, reporting from the Nexus
I'm also thinking of cooling down on the RP thing. The RIAH part stops at when Derrick brings the Book to Theramore? I'd then just send him to Northrend, so I can actually ENJOY RPing in Northrend in the first place and not feel like I'm defying time and logic and space and everything.
I should go to sleep. xD
