I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this woman in front of me. To even hear her name had triggered a flashback of memories I thought I had forgotten.

"Alyssana."

I remember it all now. I once fell for her because I thought she would be a powerful ally for The Cult of the Damned, but it turned out I was wrong. So many things I've done to secure my future were all for naught when she killed me. Now that I look back on it, I really did mess up with this woman and now I know why that man said that she's become scary. I could feel from her piercing dark brown eyes that she's even more powerful from when I was still alive. I hopelessly forgot about my actions as I was about to try and hold her in my arms, but I was blasted away by her arcane magic...and not in a good place as I was trying to hold in my howls of pain!

"If you're a death knight, then why does it still hurt when I arcane blasted your rotten balls?" She scoffed, leaning down at my level.

"Even as a death knight, this twig and these rotten berries still work!" I grunted painfully on my knees. "Unless you want to give it a try later on when I come to."

"How about no?!" She screamed as she slapped me across the face. "I've already killed you once and I'll do it again if I bloody have to!"

"Alyssana, stop! That's enough!" Tirion shouted at Alyssana, grabbing her hand that was pulsating with what seemed like Arcane energy. "He may have been horrible in the past but he will make up for his misdeeds."

"How would you know?! Do you know what he has done? What he did to me?! No, he'll never make up for his wrongdoings!" She growled at Tirion, then she returned her attention to me. "Now you tell me this; where is my son?! Where is Marenus, Ludwig? Where is our son?!"

All the death knights, including me and Darion were almost speechless when she mentioned that we had a son. Even I didn't remember it but now that she mentioned it, another horrible memory became a flashback! I remember now;
I was talking to a woman who knew Alyssana during her studies and she too was a part of the Cult of the Damned. We got a little drunk that night when I told her that Alyssana was pregnant with my child and I don't know how but I found myself in a barn with her, getting undressed. When I realised what was happening, I was about to quickly get my clothes back on before Alyssana bursted into the barn and killed us both. I wasn't myself back then! I could swear that when I was being burnt alive, I heard someone laughing...

"She would've found out what you are a part of in the end. But what she doesn't need to know is that you are one of my puppets!"

That voice reverberated in my head for a time while I was under the Lich King's will and now, it's become silent.

Edua stood up and bravely walked over to Alyssana, even though I gestured her to stay away because I didn't want her to get hurt. "Come with me, I'll take you to your son." She spoke. "Ludwig, you're coming as well."

"What? Why me?!" I exclaimed.

"There is something you must know." She replied.

"What, the fact that I had a son and an ex-wife who killed me and obviously hates me?! Yeah I already know that!" I sassed at her but I earned a hard slap across the face from Alyssana for that last comment.

I heard Koltira, a blood elf death knight try to stifle a laugh and I death-stared him until he stopped, although his smile wouldn't go away.

"Just shut up and lead me to my son." Alyssana spat with the dirtiest look I've ever seen her make.

"Enough from the both of you!" Edua stressed as she opened a death gate to Archeus.

We all went through and once we got to the Archeus, we saw restless and ravenous undead running around the place!
