Purpose.

[Rued]

Whether connected by blood or not, every member Silvanas clan, at the age of 5, whether male or female, finds themselves in the dark and ruthless arms of the shadowlands.

To learn how to survive. To grow in strength and to be ready.


“To be honest, I never really supported or truly appreciated this culture personally. After all... wouldn't it be so much easier to work together?


When we solve problems together. When we overcome obstacles together... Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. Maybe I'm acting selfishly like an ego-inflated noble child... I should.. complain less. Because no matter how much I complain about this situation... in the end, I know it's a duty that must be done. Honestly, we all knew it.

Even before being let go. Master Galland had constantly reminded us of this to keep it in mind...”

'I'm doing this not to harm you. Not to get rid of you. I'm doing it to raise you. Just as my father did for me, I'm doing it for all of you. When the time comes, when it's needed, I will call upon all of you. It may take years, and maybe some of you will lose your lives along the way.

The risk will never change, remember that. But regardless of the outcome, those of you who manage to leave this place, those who have made it back... you will open a new page in your life as...  A protector. A hunter.

Just as EVERY Silvanas should be.'


"Imagine... hearing this when you were only 5 years old. When you were still struggling to walk. That he wanted us to overcome countless demons, monsters, and things we couldn't even name anymore?


I really want to laugh at the thought. Especially right now... But despite all that, my respect for Galland never changed.

It never changed.

So... for this reason alone... every day of my life, I hunted.


I killed.

Until I could become the best Silvanas warrior I could be. Until my body started to give in from the loss of blood, some days until I couldn't move, until I starved.

I kept working, kept getting stronger. So... when master Galland looked at me, he could be proud, and at the same time, so I could be proud of fulfilling my duty.

To give purpose to my life. Something to fight for.

At least I... had hoped that things would go like this. Maybe I was a little... too innocent.


I thought the world would give me what I wanted. When I work for it hard. The power I desired and a purpose, but... I was quite mistaken. Very mistaken."

After years of my work... my hunting... Many trainee's that left in shadowlands were called back... - I'm not really sure how many years have passed by now... It's been a long time, but the day I was released felt like yesterday in my mind.

"Upon receiving the letter, I just wanted to scream with happiness... until my throat hurt. Until my vocal cords could no longer produce sound... but I couldn't afford to waste time. None of us could.

So I gathered everything I had and... started my journey to this place called 'Audhild,' as Master Galland put it... The things written in the letter were quite straightforward.

We were called back to protect our home once again. Maybe to die in order to protect it. Many of us, including me, already knew that.

My journey was truly long... exactly 1 year. Even though I managed to move quickly with the help of some Audhild-affiliated merchants but it was not fast enough..

As I-- Many of us finally arrived. 

We met with -.. We.. 

.... 

......... 

....................

...............................................

"HELP!! 

PLEASE!! 

SOMEONE!! 

ANYONE..!!  

NOOOOOO!!! 

AHHHH!!

"The agonizing screams of those who remained burning... Some being torn apart by demons with bare hands and devoured with a crunch... The sounds of pain that kept increasing without respite every minute...

No... NO.... NO.

This can't be real—HAHAHAHA... Come on.. We can't be this late.. Not like this..

"The scene I witnessed was so horrifying that it was enough to drive me insane... I couldn't think straight, nor could I move. All the time I had spent...


All the effort I had put in... all the creatures I had hunted... would it all end with me freezing like this?? I—"

At that moment... A hand touched my shoulder.  A girl trained and sent to shadowlands by master Galland was looking at me. She was clearly scared and don't know what to do but.. Despite that, she keep moving. 

Into the flame. 

"Perhaps.. I should have stopped her.. I should just-- Told her to go back but.. I simply didn't.. Because in the end.. I also knew. 

As clan Silvanas. We are meant to save people.. Even under times that scream despair.. 

As hunters.. Warrior's we must kill them. Kill the monsters. Kill the fel." 

I decide to look after her.. While trying to help some people along the way.. I never manage to find her but despite that.. I thank her. 

For reminding me what I should do.  

For reminding me my purpose.

I must HUNT

All of them.

All those names.. Many more.. I don't even know how many times I even count them.. All those restless night... 

Looking at myself.. Even questioning the very purpose I bestowed upon myself. 

As every Silvanas did. 

'Hunt down the Fel' 

We called it but.. World is a lot more corrupted than that.. It is not just.. Rainbows. Dark and Light.

If a demon is capable of causing damage to our world.. With every inch of their being. So a man can do it.  

Sometimes because of greed. Sometimes anger. Sometimes envy. 

and maybe sometimes.. Bit of everything..  

If we don't keep those rotten ones in check. In control. Mistakes will happen and what happens then? 

Simply countless lives will fade away.

In agony, under the flames. Until nothing remains. 

Some might even forget about it all together after it pass. Some will ignore it and.. Some will be the reason for it. 

Trying to hide what they did, over many excuses but.. 

I am not like them. 

I never forget.

I never ignore.

and. 

I will act upon it.
