Epsilon stared down at the court, narrowing her eyes. Useless judgment. She knew Draenei, she knew they wouldn't be fair, would sooner condemn Vitaly to death rather than think of any other options first. Even being Vitaly's wife, she wasn't allowed inside the court. No surprise. She was a Death Knight, they were draenei. One plus one sums two. She let out a creepy giggle, making the guard close to her feel a shiver. She gave the guard a brief smile and looked around for a way to better listen the judgment.
"If there is anything the presence wish to say before the punishment is executed, do so now.". She heard the Anchorite named Athaab say so. Considering his idea, he might as well have become the next target on her "weekly menu" if the other draenei didn't speak up. She shifted her sleepy eyes to him, listening.
"Hold zis trial... Zis human show a deep regret toward his actions. Understanding ze effects of crimes he now show remorse and wish to devote himself to a live devoted to ze Light."
Another smile came to her lips, more out of surprise than anything else. Instead of talking, she looked around the court. If she was to rescue Vitaly from that hole she needed a damn good battle plan. She estimated having around a thousand plans in her mind for all kind of combat situations. None of them involved fighting an entire force of Light-loving goats, just waiting for a foolish deader like her to step in false. After some conversation from an elf with the angry anchorite, she realized Vitaly was saved... Somehow. The angry anchorite was grinding his teeth in anger.
"This.. this is a day of shame for us draenei."
"You draenei... Have no idea of what shame is...". Epsilon murmured to herself. She noticed the eyes of the guard on her. She couldn't tell if he was curious, afraid, or just watching. From all people told her, she was "pretty", for a knight, yet she was no reason for the goat to be looking at her this way.
"The human man... Is he important to you, lady?". He dared ask.
Epsilon smiled once more, moving to behind a column as Vitaly took his leave with Telah and the unknown elf. She nodded at the guard. "If I had another life... I'd give it to him... I guess he is important...". She reached for her spear and made sure it was well-placed on her back. Vitaly had not seen her. No one had in fact. Or they did not care if she was there. She wasn't about to linger on the thoughts for long, knowing it was natural for a death knight to consider betrayal from others an option. "I see. Be happy, looks like your man lives and may find redemption.". The guard said. Epsilon gave him one of her usual sleepy stares and nodded. "I know he will... He always does... I do wonder though...". Will he love me once he finds the Light? Light has no love for the ones like me. Epsilon thought, grabbing a mango from her sleeve and throwing it to the draenei guard.
She watched Vitaly from afar. He was taken to the infirmary, then he ate something with the others and left again. Epsilon sighed, not daring to approach. "What should I do... Katherine...?". - You have my body, you should know the answer. She would have answered, or maybe Epsilon was hearing things again. She sighed once more and took her leave, removing herself from the holy city. When away from city sight, she launched a dark coil in the air, opening a portal to her home... Acherus. Despite the ominous feeling the gate gave others, to her it felt... Warming, somehow. She entered the gate and began to walk the dark way that would take her to Acherus.
"If it's just love then let it go... It doesn't matter as long it's exciting... Beloved, charming husband, I want you...". She began to murmur, and then hum, trying to find the right tone for the song she still remembered, but dared not sing with her twisted voice.
