At times. We did not often approve of one another's philosophies or methods.

If you're familiar with him at all, I'm sure you understand why that is.

[forcevisions]

Yeah.
That makes sense.

[massrez]

I'm sure he's equally unhappy with how this all turned out, in truth.

[forcevisions]

I wish he would talk about it.

[massrez]

As do I.

But he rarely does so, even under the best of conditions. As frustrating as that can be, I do understand why.

[forcevisions]

Well if he doesn't want to talk then he can stop expecting it of everyone else all the time.

[massrez]

That would be the sensible thing, wouldn't it?

[forcevisions]

You're taking this very well.

[massrez]

Which part?

[forcevisions]

Getting kidnapped by a dragon who won't talk about his feelings.

[massrez]

In fairness, it's not the first time I've been kidnapped by a dragon.

The latter...you become accustomed to it. There are ways he says things, without saying them.

[forcevisions]

You mean reading into what he says
Not my strongest skill.

[massrez]

In fairness, dragons have a logic all their own.

Wrathion is no exception to that. Despite his unusual circumstances.

[forcevisions]

Right
His unusual circumstances.

Remind me what those are again?

[massrez]

[ Careful. He has to try and toe the line, not say anything that isn't his to disclose. He settles on common knowledge, instead. ]

Most black dragons on Azeroth are less prone to befriending mortals than they are manipulating them, or murdering them en masse. Sometimes just for sport.

Wrathion's always been markedly different from his kin. Not that it made him any easier to trust, at first.

[forcevisions]

I thought he was the last of his kind

[massrez]

That may be true, now.

[forcevisions]

He didn't tell me how recently.

[massrez]

It was four years ago when a black dragon last came to Stormwind.

It wasn't long after that happened that I met Wrathion. Since then, there have been no sightings of other black dragons that I can recall.

[forcevisions]

What happened to the dragon from four years ago?

[massrez]

I was told the other dragon aspects had to sacrifice a measure of their power to see him defeated, in the end.

There was no other way. Left unchecked, he would have torn our world apart. Quite literally.

[forcevisions]

I'm glad he was defeated. It sounds like it needed to happen, even if it left Wrathion alone.

[massrez]

It did far more than that.

[forcevisions]

What happened?

[massrez]

I think it shaped who he is more than anything else.

Or rather, who he chooses not to be.

We cannot choose the bloodline we come from. But it is possible to forge a new legacy, with time.
