Dire Marshes
I hate this place. It was 1000 years ago that Bahl?al killed me here, and 6 since he pulled me out again. People think that because I?m a shade that I serve my master with his mind only and have no minds of our own and I suspect that in some of us that might be true.
Some of us, hah... when I went to that battle, I never suspected that I would be a shade in 1000 years, serving the one I went to undo.
Now all I do is float around, sleepless and watch the thrall. I hate the thrall.
I can feel his mind in me sometimes, like a huge throbbing lump and when he tries I can do nothing except succumb for pain and the anger that builds up in me. He does this during battle. I cannot control my body and my mind feel useless; like I am in slow motion, this happened today for the last time.
I went into a trance and when I came out I was all but spent lying in a pool of blood 3 feet deep of what must have been my victims, it appears that thrall, berserks and some other indistinguishable corpses must have fought here, as always, I assume that I must have killed them all.
As I realized what had happened, I felt for his mind, looming in on me, but it was nowhere, as if it had just evaporated.
When I got up and began to walk?not float, for once, I couldn?t float, try as I might?I felt a great hole, not in the earth, but in the air, even form far away and I moved toward it. As I moved closer, my skin began to crack, and my joints ached, and I felt pain again, a blessing after all these years of numbness?and then I saw it, A pile of corpses and a cracked pile of rocks. And then I realized, Bahl?al was finally dead, I do not know how or when, I may have been unconscious for days but I am finally really free, and the sorceries that bind my soul to this world in this body are disintegrating, so I finish this report and hope that some among the wise may thus learn the tale of the last hours of Mazzarin the great. Now I may finally meet Wyrd again.
