She'd never felt like this before. As she looked at everything going on around her on the torn battlefield, she just couldn't say anything. Under the shadow of one the Lich King's walls in Icecrown, she stood surrounded by the dead and the dying, Horde and Alliance, and by victorious Scourge on a rampage. And was just utterly appalled.
Kickfeather looked at the dying orc who's torn shirt she still held. He was barely conscious, a grim smile upon his face. He was happy with what he'd done to the Pinkies and even happier he was able to tell the story. Happy he'd found someone who he thought would help finish the job.
"It was glorious," he'd proclaimed. Kickfeather dropped him to the ground. She wanted to kick him.
Glorious? GLORIOUS?! These Horde had stabbed the Alliance in the back! Hit them from behind and caught them offguard while these Pinkies were fighting the Scourge! That was glory?!
"GAH!"
In the distance, right before her eyes she watch one of the Scourge necromancers take the body of a dead human and transform him into a mindless Scourge. "GAH!!!"
She ran for cover. Last thing she needed was to be attacked and killed by Scourge and turned into one too. She fingered her stone and the words came spilling out at how horrified she was.
"That's. . .that's. . .that's just wrong!!!. . . ."
She fumbled around for her flint and tinder. For a piece of wood, a piece of cloth, anything! She'd do what the orc told her to do. She'd finish the job that he started, just like he asked. But not to fulfill his bent belief of honor and glory. She put all the Pinkies she could find out of their misery, if they weren't dead already. She set their bodies aflame until the Scourge discovered her and she could no longer stay on the field.
"For the Horde," someone groaned, as she made her escape. She turned to see one of a dying orc reaching for her. "Help. . . me. . . ."
Stepping to him, she reached for her axe and tightly gripped the flaming torch she still held. But then she saw her skeletal pursuers coming for her. Looking at them and then looking at the orc, her face went grim with disgust and she turned and ran. Stupid fool could enjoy his 'glory' in undeath.
