Echoes Through Time – Page 143: “Lamentation”

Salandria regrets the choices she’s made that have lead her down this path.

Having not made an appearance since page 131 (where co-conspirator Rend Blackhand was devoured by Chromallus, Deathwing’s pet monster created by goblin engineers) we return to Blackrock Mountain where Salandria (Yes, the same Blood Elf orphan that Hordies helped out during Children’s Week) is talking to her beloved childhood toy “Draco” – The same wooden dragon that you bought for her as a little girl in the Caverns of Time.

Salandria realizes only too late that things have gone out-of-control and she’s in way over her head as she discovers Deathwing has been driven insane by not only the whispers of the Old Gods, but also with power and ambition; now possessing the black dragonscale gemstone stolen by Salandria from Rhonin’s collection of magical artifacts, the same gemstone which was used to destroy the Demon Soul. Driven deeper into madness by the dark whispers of the Old Gods now intensified by the black gemstone, Deathwing has become a ranting, paranoid lunatic; often arguing with the unseen forces that haunt his troubled mind.
