Transcript
Akama: I remember the Temple as it used to be: a place of worship.- Akama: I prayed within its chambers and meditated among its gardens. I was happy then; at peace.
- Akama: I remember, too, the day the orcs came.
- Akama: That day marked by cries of war and torrents of blood where terrified women and children huddled in darkened corners.
- Akama: I led many to safety, but many more paid the ultimate price.
- Akama: That day my beloved sanctuary became the Black Temple.
- Akama: There the orc warlocks practiced their twisted magic that corrupted the land and nearly destroyed us all.
- Akama: Even after the Horde's reckless sorcery tore the planet apart, my people were unable to find a lasting sanctuary.
- Akama: I remember the armies of demons that swept down on us like a plague.
- Akama: During these dark times, the one called Magtheridon made the Temple his home.
- Akama: Then came Illidan...
- Akama: The one they called the Betrayer; the enemy of my enemy.
Illidan Stormrage: Magtheridon lures scores of hapless demons through them daily.
Kael'thas Sunstrider: Then we must seal them permanently.- Akama: We helped him seal the portals of Outland and cut off the Legion's reinforcements.
- Akama: We fought with renewed strength, and together we reclaimed our sacred ground.
- Akama: I think part of me knew even then, that the Black Temple had only traded one evil master for another.
- Akama: I prefer to remember the Temple as it used to be; not the abomination it has become.
- Akama: My soul bears the burden of my misjudgment, but I have been patient; I have been waiting.
- Akama: And when the time is right, the Betrayer will become... the betrayed.
