She looked back slowly and saw that Perfectia was close to her with both hands balled into a fist. She squeaked a sound of regret as she knew she shouldn’t have let her get this close. Then was clocked over the side of her head and knocked her out.
Perfectia held her hand that made contact with the side of Alleria’s head painfully.
“Well this is a surprisingly fortunate turn of events.” A masculine echoing voice said in Common.
Perfectia looked around trying to figure out where the voice was coming from.
“Down here.” The echo voice
She looked down and saw Alleria’s body and even some of her clothes had turned completely glowing and dark shades of purple, and hair had turned completely white. “Put your pants on… I’m a lot stronger since last we fought, she actually just gave up complete control.” He stood up and looked up at her, and touched the side of her head she hit, “But I’m beginning to see why a lot of people choose to try to talk to you, other than deal with you directly.”
“I suppose.” She said as she put on her pants. “You know what is happening to her right now usually happens to me more often than you think.”
“Yes, four agents of light and death. I keep trying to tell her, but she doesn’t seem to listen.”
“So voidlord, why shouldn’t I try to extract you like I did last time.”
“There’s something you need to understand.” He took a deep breath and started to explain. “If gravity were a little stronger the universe collapsed into a ball, if it were less powerful the universe would fly apart and there wouldn’t be any stars or planets. If the ratio of the magnetic force to the rotational force was even one percent off life would cease to be.” The void lord being looked at her confused face, “I’m I losing you?”
She looked away and shrugged, “Uh… Yeah.”
“Light and Void can never be intertwined, they have always been at war. Every star was a victory for the light and every planet was a victory for the void. But that war brought balance that none of us knew we were fighting for, the planets and the stars, were just the aftermaths of all the battles that were fought. There are theories that a romantic relationship between sentient entities of void and light came together… That love might have brought the titans into existence, but the first titans had a vision of balance, but without war. Light and Void will always be enemies that didn’t mean we had to be constantly fighting. When we stop fighting… Things started growing and the titans aided them. And when the light threatened to push everything in on itself. The titans aided the void and when void consumed entire planets, the titans aided the light. But the titans made the mistake of letting Sargeras do his job by himself. He didn’t know how ridiculous his vision of eradicating all life in the universe was, until he created a new element. Something we didn’t even know was possible and he started succeeding.” He breathed with a sense of dread, “Fel Energy, dangerous in every form. Gas, liquid, solid, plasma.”
“So this is about balance? Why do you need to destroy the sunwell?”
“The light and void has allowed a lot of different impossibilities to happen in the places you’re familiar with. Outland being a primary example. Several floating rocks harboring life, in the vacuum of space, do you think that’s a normality in most of the universe?”
Perfectia only snugged.
“How about magic?”
“Isn’t it? Are you telling me it isn’t?”
The void lord shook his head, “Most of the life on other planets is mostly, be and let be. Planets have formed without the titans’ aid, sentient beings being entirely dependent on what the universe can provide, all working in aiding themselves with just physics.”
“I don’t know what that word means.”
“Yeah you wouldn’t… And if you did, you’d know that Azeroth shouldn’t exist. It’s too small, it’s hot where it shouldn’t and cold where it shouldn’t be, but we’ve allowed it to exist. We crafted it in a way because we knew that the inhabitants might have been able to deal with Sargeras.”
Perfectia lifted the gold and rainbow colored necklace Magni Bronzebeard gave her, “And this sleeping titan Magni keeps referring to… “
“A fail safe, if all else fails. What you called Old Gods would have infused her with enough void energy to combat Sargeras alone, but since you killed them or at the very least, pommeled them into unserviceability. Deathwing’s original plan to eradicate all life on Azeroth needed to be implemented, so when Sargaras showed up. He wouldn’t have even noticed that she was there. Then we would have implemented our original plan while he moved on.”
“So you wanted to eradicate all life in Azeroth so she could play possum?”
“That is conceivable. Millions to die, to save trillions, this is something light and void agreed on. What Sargeras did to Mardum, the planet demons and dreadlords came from. We did the same here and we kept the inhabitants of this world powerful enough so that they could travel to the places the Legion corrupted and could even kill or capture Sargeras.”
“And we did that?”
“Yep.”
“So shouldn’t this balance out now?”
“By subsequently snuffing out the old god and you inherited the role as the hypocritical hateful majority just the way the natural order works its way out to be. To answer your question on why the Sunwell needs to be destroyed, the Light has empowered too many inhabitants. Your people have the abilities to travel the corners of the known universe faster than the speed of light and even if your people were to go to other planets with good intentions. The universe would implode if you shared your existence with other planets and taught them how to gain immortality, travel through portals, or even taught them a little magic.”
“This is a lot to take in… and I have no reason to believe you. I have to believe in the light because it’s always guided me… Why should I believe you?”
He looked down, “I… um… What could I do?”
