In the life of any gamer there is a before and after that mark the culmination of a game or an objective finally achieved. I have played many games, but if we talk about an achievement that would be important to me, not only because of the hours sacrificed or because of all the attempts I made to achieve that goal, but also because of the type of mission. It not only depended on me, it also depended on twenty-four other souls pursuing the same goal, we faced any number of challenges not only to try to achieve this achievement but to lead the team to a victory which for each failure we made we lost hope of to be able to complete it.
It was a weekend and the 25 souls were connected to Discord, the team was formed, the mission objectives were ready to be fulfilled, it was only left to enter the jaws of an icy throne and kill the one who once called Hero and shortly after I would fall into the hands of absolute darkness, and then after his death, I would realize that deep inside he was a soul tormented by his past fighting against his own darkness.
It was early morning LCV server, although we were the right people to carry out this task, we were filled with confidence and crossed the threshold.
We had all gathered in the great room along with the npc, I only had experience until the third boss (my role was dps druid and heler with an off death knight). Difficulty 25H, the brotherhood had completed previous difficulties, but nothing compared to this.
At first it was relatively easy, the enemies looked much tougher but it didn't take long to get to the first boss, I remember that it was very cold that morning, which seemed like a coincidence because I was on the frozen throne itself, At the entrance of the boss my companions put “feasts” to give stronger attack auras, different paladins gave the blessing of kings, the druids their blessing of attributes, and the sorcerers with their best soul stones focused on the tank in case a misfortune occurred (that the tank died) , I remember that in battle I could only see this.
He shot fire at dps and heler and impaled his enemies, causing dps to focus on his spikes to save teammates.

If you had already passed the entrance, this would be the heart of the citadel.
It was divided into three rooms,all three of which provided different challenges (At this point,I didn't know exactly what to expect).

I remember how nervous I was, although it was not my first time in front of this boss, I could feel a higher level of difficulty, the cold of the early morning running through my back and the nerves from dodging the fire and hitting the boss.
However, the next boss was not easy at all.
"The curse of the flesh"
"If you think it gets easier, you are wrong" told us the paladin leader of the brotherhood.
You had to kill all the soldiers in the room before starting the boss. It was protected with a mana shield so we practically had to kill it twice, while we tried to take it down, soldiers appeared from both corners, I was one of the healers in charge of keeping the tank and the other 5 members of my group alive. After defeating it and having a battle against the horde (a battle of ships) we get to the next boss.
I remember my experience in icc (ice crown citadel) was up to this boss, here the trick was simple, heal the tank, don't let it die and do the most damage to dps in the shortest time possible, because if you let it pass for a long time the marks were piling up, and it was game over.
I remember that when I got to THIS BOSS I felt relieved, and on the other hand when I passed it I did not know exactly what was waiting for me, a curtain of frozen gas rose and if you did not run past it it killed you,relieved of passing that gas you would find yourself with more problems,the very core of the ice crown citadel.
The plague workshops had Panzachacro, Caraputrea and Professor Putricido, three bosses not easy to pass, I remember that this part I got involved with my death knight (he called me Cath) and I went to dps,I remember all the times we failed with the boss (teacher) because you had to become an abomination and dodge snot.
The next wing could be a lot more difficult.
The actual dependencies.
Three bosses called the princes,because they shared a unique ability in them that affected the lives of all three.
Only the blood queen remained,I remember that here we failed many times and almost left the band up to this point, it was not until many failures and mistakes that we were able to do it.
If the previous one cost us a long time,the next one would be terrible.
What's worse than facing two dragons?
Face a third,but this would be a legendary dragon.
It had the ability to freeze several members of the band and make them drown with the water of the ice itself, to save them the dps attack left and right the ice to break it, more than once I died and resuscitated with the help of a healer Druid.
I remember very well that morning, I was alone at home and I was in front of that hero with whom I played, a paladin facing death, a hero falling into the hands of cold death. And I could see him become the right hand of a wicked darkness that would completely fill Azeroth in darkness.
A brave hero would rise,and wielding Crematoria would face the cold dark, and wicked death.
If the previous bosses were difficult, this one would not only be difficult, it would be painful, because of all the heroes in the World of Warcraft universe, this one would carry it with me forever. On the one hand, I was anxious because I had faced many bosses (legendary missions), to kill the darkness itself (at that moment in history) it was early morning I started the band around midnight and I finished it around three in the morning, but on the other hand he had to murder that man who at some point I played with him and later I was able to read his book and understand many things.
To say that we killed him on the first try would be to lie, it would even be very epic, because between the rotation that I did not know and the people who left the group it cost us a lot, but in the end of everything we were able to achieve with the task.
These images were captured by me from a private server,and while taking the photos I was able to remember many moments of glory lived to get this achievement.
