I wrote this tonight and just wanted to share it, maybe it belongs in the WoW forums more, but here is just a little story based on one of the characters I play. The name of this story is called Victims.

Victims.

It was the screaming that woke her up. Was it her own vocal chords that had produced it? Or was it one of the many phantom faces that pressed against the inside of her eyelids when she closed them? In any case she laid there, wide awake and silent. She focused on both the excessive sweat she was laying in and for any sounds coming from outside the room. Kirrika wasn't sure how long it was, but it seemed like sufficient time that no one had come rushing up banging on the door to check on her.

She decided to rise out of bed to start a new day. Drawing back the curtains to the one small window in the room, she peered out to see dusk settling over the busy streets of Stormwind. Outside numerous people rushed about to do whatever tasks that had brought them to the city. Of course, being the capital of man, most of them were human. Why was she here, a dwarf among humans? Was it a kind of atonement? Looking down at the faces of them, she felt there was an eerie recognition there, maybe of people she knew...but none of them looked exactly right, marking them as strangers all.

She thought to herself "I wonder how many of them lost a friend, or family, to my killing runeblade."

A lump caught in her throat. To her, none of them had any idea of the pain that thought caused her.

"I once tried to save you..."

A shuffling sound from directly behind caused her to spin around. Kirrika looked up to see the rotting abomination of the undead known as a ghoul. Staring down at her, it gave a raspy "YESSS?"

I have recently began playing a free MMORPG called "Requiem: Bloodymare". The game is free to download, and free to play. There is an "Item Mall" where you can purchase some items to support the game if you like it, but this is not a requirement by any means.

Requiem is alot like WoW. They have instances, Dragons, Jobs, etc. However, the game has more of a horror feel to it. While WoW is more of a cute, family style game, Requiem has the old "Diablo" feel to it. Gore everywhere. When you kill a monster, they will explode with blood spraying everywhere and such. The game is really cool, and a great free alternative to warcraft.

The only major set back to this game, is since it's new, and free.......there isn't as many players as wow by far. However I see more new players everyday, and it is growing at a nice pace. I am looking for people who may want to give it a shot, and perhaps form some sort of instance crew, since you need 4 people to enter these instances.

If anyone is interested, please visit www.playrequiem.com/. There will be alot of information, and a short gameplay video for you to check out. The download itself is something like 2 gb, but it is well worth it.

If anyone decides to give the game a chance, send me a message on here and let me know your name, so we can hook up and play together.

I started playing Fable on Xbox last weekend, and I'm hooked! I'm not a big game player in general, and I almost never play video games, but when a friend of mine told me how much she loves Fable and then loaned me her copy, I had to give it a shot. The graphics are nice, the characters are cute, and the controls are relatively simple. I can't wait to see what happens next!
