Ignis... Evil or Misunderstood?

Hopping on my Bronze Drake I flew over the rolling Grizzly Hills and knodded to Lieutenant Dumont as I flew over. He was still sending people back and forth to Silverbrook because he was too lazy to do his own work. Flying west into Dragonblight things got cold! But I stopped at the srhine for my drake to say pay respects. While there I thought it was fitting to sit and reflect on the happenings over the past few weeks.

Our journey into Ulduar this time turned out to be tiring to say the least. But our blood lust has increased as we move will move forward with more determination than ever. However, I got to thinking about the creatures in that god forsaken place and how they came to possess such evil. Then I was in the library in Stromwind the other day and came across a book that explained it all to me.

Ignis the Furnace Master, the poor misunderstood beast, was of course created by Loken. It's not his fault that he was created for the purpose of raining down fire on innocent Azerothians. It is our choice to challenge him in Battle I guess. What most people don't know though is this...

Ignis had a mate. Loken created Sciro at the same time he created Ignis. Sciro was beautiful. Standing toe to toe with Ignis she could look him in the eye, but Sciro was not made of fire and rock, Sciro was made of ice and snow. Yes, the cruel plan of Loken was to enrage Ignis through an act of murder so devistating that he could never recover. The scene was horrific as they both awoke. Ignis saw his mate across the room and it was love at first sight. Her slender lines, her crystal eyes, snowflakes falling around her shoulders, the site was majestic. He couldn't wait to embrace her, couldn't wait to be with her.

Loken smiled as he knew is plan was working. He released the two beasts to succumb to their own desires. As if in slow motion the two came closer to eachother. Ignis approached with awe and love filling his heart (as all creatures are created with equal parts good and evil... and Loken knew this). He embraced his love and found her quickly disappearing.. her body melting to nothing until all that was left is her eyes slowly melting and looking up at him through pools of water.

Ignis roared with fury. His heart broken into a million peices at killing his own one true love. All traces of good and love were hardened into blackness in his heart.

Loken laughed and banished Ignis to the other side of the room to wait and guard his treasures. He gathered the water from Sciro and placed it in two pools in the room where Ignis stands guard. This as a reminder of the fatal tragedy so Ignis' heart would stay encased in darkness for all his days.

So.. now you know why Ignis is so mean. I'm hoping back on my drake now and going to Dalaran. Apparently the officials are placing a new board up that will allow me to find other like minded warriors to enter the dungeons of Azeroth and I want to see what the buzz at Eventide is.
