A massive entity strode across the sands at a leisurely place. Time is of no matter in this place. His thundering footsteps were muffled by the sands underneath his huge powerful talons. His talons were pitch black, marking them from the rest of his body. His body was cloaked with a faint golden aura, that had been dulled in time, in both color and intensity. The scales that adorned his wonderful hide matched this color, as if the aura was simply their reflection of light. His great wings folded across his back, so that his massive form could fit through the corridor.
As he strode, he looked upon the settings of the place he roamed. To any other than he, they would have been truly strange, even disconcerting. Below him lay sands that stretched on forever, a desert maze which never stretched into the infinite. Around him he saw things buried around in the sand. Of course they weren't really their... But at the same time they were. He saw the top of a ruined tower. It's stone was white as pearl, and was adorned by a large blue banner with the image of a golden lion head placed upon it. The lower left corner of the banner was in flames. The fire burned, though it never seemed to consume anything.
He also saw an immense statue, only the very bottom buried underneath the sands. It depicted a monster with the beautiful face of a fair elf. It's head was a brilliantly detailed picture of a beautiful elf, except that where graceful white hair should be, it was replaced by four serpents of stone. Despite that they were inanimate, one could imagine with scary ease that they were writhing beasts, sniffing the air around them in search for their next meal. Her torso was also that of an elven maiden, exceptionally shapely as well. However, it's beauty was defiled by the fact that it was covered in a mixture of flesh, and scales, and that it had two sets of arms. Not like the scales of the being watching it, even on a colorless statue one could see they were a ominous green of the deep. She had no legs at all, replaced instead by a massive serpentine tail, coiled around herself. With her four arms, she held a massive ring, with occasional blades jutting from it's ring. It encircled her, though it was held behind her.
He knew exactly what had happen to cause these structures to have existence, to be. He knew every last event, down to the smallest of happenings, that had led to those events. He was there. Though to say he remembered them would be wrong. He remembered them, experienced them, and predicted them all at once. When he looked upon it, he did not only see them as you would, but he saw them in every aspect they had ever been in. He saw the statue be erected, as well as being burned, and then it summoned the Naga Atoph. He saw the tower being built, being used. A young couple who's parents did not allow them marriage crept atop it, and stayed together in secret. He saw the Orcs of Gul'Dan come down upon it, destroying it's bricks and lighting aflame the banner. He saw it being rebuilt by the humans, who in turn he saw later taking up the dagger and clothing himself in red.
He looked to the sky. Instead of seeing the usual clouds and sun, their was a night sky,
brightened by the stars. Far more stars then usually seen... It was as if every star in time had been collected and placed onto the same sky. In fact, you could almost convince yourself you saw the same star twice, except from a different time, as they moved through the years. He could see beyond the stars as well... But there was nothing. The great dark, the endless void, the nothingness. It seemed as if there was a bottomless pit of pure blackness, veiled by a white blanket of stars.
He crept along, emotionless as he watched the time line.

Wow...that's great. I haven't read such a deep story in a while. The detail is exceptional, I can only imagine what you imagine. Odd way to say it I know but really.
Thanks. :D

Nozdormu, I'm guessing? I managed to pick out Stormwind, its destruction, and Azshara. Any other bits I missed?
And seems good.
