Girl this is a video game. In real life, you’re still an adult who can make good decisions even if the world is unfair. We are all dealing with it but we’re not choosing to go bad.
When you realize that the only reason why Aatrox screams so much is because he is terrified of not being heard, the only reason he kills is out of pure despair and in search of the slightest grim of hope that maybe someone can destroy him and his blade, and when you realize that the reason why he has so many quotes in the 3rd person is because he's afraid of being alone... such a sad character, From The strongest Hero That has been born, to a Betrayed Madman who has lost hope even in death, carried now only by his former pride
@@FROSTYNARWALL he was done wrong, now he is against life and the living even tho he dosen't want to. Hence he was made into wut he is. Hero to villain 101. Wut other overarching themes am I not catching?
@@adio8824 So what makes a good villain in your opinion? For me they need to have a driving force behind their choices and not be plain evil, but show a spectrum of emotions. Aatrox is all about slaughter, gore, violence and screaming because he needs enemies so that one day he finds one that kills him and if he doesn't? He will destroy the world itself and hope that ends him. If he stops killing he will go back into the blade and eternally suffer until somebody else picks him up, the only choice he has is further killing - that's a good villain for me.
@@WordsBeyondFiction but the thing is...he has become kinda insane after all those years of being inside a sword,image you live but no one hears you, you're alone and don't feel your body,you can't even breathe for thousands of years....sad shit

I never read Aatrox's backstory, but by the heavens and light above, how could I not know of this tale? Such grief and wisdom, so much knowledge and so much sorrow.
Ok so aatrox is a champion of a and empire called "sheremiah", he was the a sort of icon being respected by many heroes for being true and just, one day his empire sheremiah and another joined together to fight against a rebellion and they did win the battle but of course there are fatalities in war and that included aatrox. Eventually the empire sheremiah, and since the empire is no longer standing they went under a new name called "the sun born" but over time they started changing and another war started over the ruins of their world the mortals who ran away called the sun born by a new name, "the darkin" and as the war continued aatrox's sword basically like absorbed him one day and has been absorbing other people who touch the sword. and he lost his mortality and became immortal and when he absorbs people they are completely dead essentially, only aatrox's mind/ consciousness is present in the sword Edit: I haven't played the game myself but from this line here 0:10 it seems he does consider himself, well himself even tho his mind is the only one there and none of the other consciousness of the people he had absorbed aren't there
@@lizardintux8002 In other term. A hero of light, which brings victory and hope. Now betrayed, enchained and trapped. In his own weapon, no limbs, no lungs, no tongue, no eyes and no hope. Thousands of years in a prison in which he is unable to breathe; constantly drowning yet never dying. Pushed him to the verge of insanity, now out of desperation, he uses blood magic to absorb flesh to recast himself back. *HOPING* that he can return to his former glory, with one mission in mind. *HOPING* if he could bring all of creation, all of life to a final apocalyptic battle where everything and everyone cease to exist; he would be free. To die is his wish.

Him and pantheon need their own season in arcane to show the depth behind Aatrox, how he was a glorious and proud man, and ended up a sad and suffering darkin who hides it behind a monstrous facade.
@@virtualseal2786 Honestly I think they could make a banger series about every region. Noxus: Either Darius rising through the ranks or could focus on Talon, Katarina and Cassiopeia Shurima: Time of Azir's rule, Aatrox as an acended would fit there perfectly Targon: Pantheon becoming an aspect, season's ending could be his battle agains Aatrox where Atreus takes back control over the body. Freljord: Could focus on Ashe and Sejuani and how they became warmothers of their tribes and prepare for the civil war between each other Bilgewater: Miss Fortune's childhood and her avenging her parents' death Demacia: Kind obvious Garen and Lux focus Ionia: Either Irelia's prespective of the Noxian invasion or I'd say Zed's and Shen's story The Void: Kassadin fighting to avenge his family and later find Kai'sa maybe Not sure about Ixital and the Shadow Isles tho

What's sad is you can hear his voice wavering between madness, evil and insanity and a crushed soul, a desperate spirit trying to redeem itself. As he tries to fight it he remembers there's no need and falls back into darkness

@Godder Ssj Just because you write in capital letters doesn’t mean you’re right.. Darkness is only a temptation, it is the ease to deny one’s emotions and feel stronger. A hero is one who endures in spite of the pain, who continues to go forward without ever losing his values.
Actually he is not tempted by the darkness, he just want his suffering to end , the feeling of starvation/choke ... Endless torture and his only choice is to kill to gain a new body/force a god to kill him
@@DarkThagan because it was embedded within us, it has become an idea that no matter how much you dont want to believe on it or know that this idea is not true at all, you just cant simply undo it in your brain now. It goes back as far as our ooga booga days of just hunting animals and finding a place to stay for some time, the the idea was just simple enough as "snake bad, it kills" or "cave good, its shelter". But ofcourse fucking humans, as they gather knowledge and shit they started to give a deeper meaning into things, which is some time good but in the most part its not. Shown here, the idea of good and evil has such intricacies and fucking multilayered shit that simply existing would make you go question what are you really is and all that depressing stuff.

@@carnage6968 and on top of that, you're suffering. You can neither see, hear. taste nor breathe so you're suffocating, trapped for thousands of years without dying. That's Aatrox for you.
@@carnage6968 i think hes making a reference to the m-theory that, if it is proven correct in the future, gives proof that time itself is moving in a circle, so if youre born youre stuck in an neverending circle of dying and beeing reborn into the same life over and over again without knowing it. for some it is a positive thing for others it is a neverending hell. imagine dying a horrendous death seconds after your birth and you have to experience it over and over again for all eternity.
Betrayed by those who he sworn to protect. Betrayed by the very ideals he withheld. Trapped in a blade for a long time, which drove him into insanity. He's suffering. He wants to die. But he knows no one can kill him. But even then, he's still hoping that there'd be someone to stop him. To end his existence. One of the saddest lores in League.
aatrox is just a man whose looking to die. He has seen alot of things..he looked at the darkness and won. Although he and his brothers won they changed....what came back slowly morph and transform into something that could no longer be consider a hero and soon became a monster. Betrayed by the people he once protected, the loneliness of being imprisoned, the madness of the darkness. He seeks and long for death.
"I touched the stars, and saw the glorious light of a thousand suns! Now, blinded by this elegance, how could my purpose be anything... but dark?" I fucking love this line with my life. It's a perfect way to describe the Darkin, specially Aatrox.
It just describes how far they have fallen. They were described as majestic beings - Ascended god-warriors with wings as they were the golden light of dawn.
2:29 made me crying so hard🥺🥺 You can clearly hear that he doesn’t want to earn hate, but at this point it’s just impossible for him to turn back, since he turned into a Darkin. It’s just an amazing voice line for a well written broken hero.
It is. Its all I've ever known. Its like a soft blanket wrapped around me in comfort. Its like the cool breeze hitting me letting me know its still there. It's like the arms of a mother when you are a new born babe cradling you and whispering sweet words of love and protection. Dark is the mother of all. All things were born from it.
@@yasuo1424 Not just any guard, he was "remade as one of the Ascended, his wings were the golden light of the dawn." All the other Darkins were once Ascended beings.
This is one of best themes i saw. Music is great, fits his tragic fate. And perfectly fits with his quotes, like you knew which part of the music should play when he say something.
The legend has returned! I love those little video monologues. I use them a lot for character analysis in my linguistics studies. Thank you for all your work!
Rage and hatred has always been the strongest emotion, love can move mountains but rage can destroy the world. Aatrox once one of the most noble warrior, scarred by the horrors of battle and betrayed by the people he had protected. Hatred consumed him and now the ones who tricked him will suffer the consequence of his wrath born from his rage and imprisonment
The goosebumps were so intense I started tearing up........ My goodness..... No muscle soreness or bodily cut hurts more than Aatrox's words....... Phenomenal....
They may called him the "darkest champion" but deep down we know, he kills with despair knowing this is his only purpose. Knowing only to kill is your purpose and not even to do anything is the hardest, he suffers as they suffer. This why this champion is my favorite
Am I the abyss? Or did I gaze into it? We have another name once... Now We are Darkin! I march to death... Though I wish it was my own... I am but an unholy copy of life... A mockery of its freedom... And born in the cruel betrayal of the noble ideals I would've served I am oblivion I am destruction... I am doom I have no goodness left It was taken from me, stolen! I am the nemesis of life Where I was excellence I am deformed... Recast poorly with these crude materials But this abomination of flesh Well serves my murderous intent Tricked into this existence... False slave entrapped by endless life! I shall become a beast feeding on their destruction and making them lament my unholy birth! I am not a king I am not a God I am worse... Once in noble battle I screamed against the silence I stood as light against the darkness Now... I serve a new master... Oblivion... I stood against the void Now, i would welcome it I touched the stars And saw the glorious light of the thousand suns! Now blinded by this elegance How could my purpose be anything... But dark...My darkness was not born It was forged by my prison For my imprisonment They will suffer! They will call me villain... Come... let me earn their hatred again and forever I shall take their limbs I will reap their beloved! I will tear from their consciousness The will to live They sing of love Hope and Gods All that makes them want to live! So... I will quiet that first! I will have silence Every dream Is a candle I must snuff out... I... Am the darkness... Let me tear their flesh from them Let me break their souls... And murder their dreams YES... This is my purpose I beg Let some challenge me today... So that I may tear out their hearts! Pray! Let me watch them die Eyes knowing they served... My dark purpose... I shall regard their cries as braying steeds Waiting to be whipped, broken and bridled! Their screams will be like the soothing hum of insects at dusk I will render these mortals' forms into my own! There is a darkness in my heart deeper than any shadow! My suffering... I will make it bloom I shall not kiss the ground Nor let myself be wielded as a tool! I am damned, but i will remake this world in my dark image! From entire villages and towns I will rend the flesh... Until I stand... I must destroy even hope They think me defeated Enchained But I am unbowed... As long as this form lives I will punish them Norble is this carnage I shall give them death Though I will carry myself as my former pride dictates! We march to battle... March toward vengeance... Drown this world in blood! No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity... But I know none... And therefore I'm no beast Those who call me enemy I welcome them Where are they now? Let me carve flesh, let me cloak myself in the slaughter! Hide me in their carnage... Until all life ends... March flesh... March toward them! We have horrors to sow! Lives to reap! Let me make them regret... Being free
Just wanted to mention that, in 05:43, you used one sentence from one of the most deep and well made quote he have And then, I noticed that you made an depiction of Aatrox feeling way more like a "vengence path" than a "suicidal wish" and I'm actually amazed by that. Being able to witness so many layers in Aatrox over so many different perspectives makes me proud of his writting. Btw, the quote is "The heavens... The endless skies folding into each other... where are they now...?"
@@nicetroy I think it's more to do with how long they have been "active". As far as I know, Rhaast has been dormant since he was originally sealed in the scythe. His bloodlust from the Darkin War is still fresh, and the only body he has ever possessed is Kayn's. Aatrox has been going from host to host for hundreds of years. Living, fighting, dying. On repeat for centuries. His desire for battle would have died a long time ago, but that's all he can do. Just wants the cycle to end.
@@endlessmisery15 I beg, let some challenge me today so that i may tear out their hearts, pray! Let me watch them die eyes knowing they served my dark purpose.
"I touched the stars, and saw the glorious light of a thousand suns! Now... blinded by this elegance, how could my purpose be anything... but dark?" Damn.... gives me goosebumps every time
Isn't it irony? Aatrox is now vessel full of pain and hatred, yet we feel closer to him than to characters like Garen or Lux who's supposed to be complete opposite. I find that ironical. We understand him,in a way, feel the same, we feel pain and darkness in our hearts, deep down.
Been listening to this for months. Just makes me want to see a series of this character or any adaptation of telling his tale. This is a true villian. One who has been a hero and his sad fate, his despair changes him. Embracing the darkness. Abandoning the nobel ideals once held as a hero, finding hope as nothing but a Lie. “I am dammed, but I will remake this world in my dark image”. You can feel how rage in pain lies in his words and voice. Whoever voiced this character is a damn legend. We only have audio and a picture here but you can hear and feel so much from how he speaks. Ending it with “With have horrors to sow, lives to reap, let me make them regret being free” This alone is such a masterpiece of a quote.
5:25 Actually aatrox is saying that he is not a beast but stops halfway because he knows that no one will listen to him and he will never be able to redeem himself or change his purpose..... He knows that he has no hope left and that he is damned to be an abomination but he can't accept it...
THE CAGE BY ODIN AUSTIN SHAFER Darkness. The breath I cannot take plagues me. It is an emptiness in my lungs and throat. As if I had stopped mid-breath, and then held my lungs cruelly waiting. My mouth open, throat hollow, unable to pull in air. My chest, the horrible tension on my thorax. My limbs and muscles refuse to move. I cannot breathe. I am choking. The pressure builds. The stillness spreads to my chest and limbs. I want to scream, to tear at my face, to wail-but I am trapped. I cannot move. I cannot move. Darkness. I must remember. I must remem- The battle. I lost control. It was foolish. The mortals formed in ranks against me. I crashed into them. Drank from them. The temptation was too great. As I reaped, I reforged their flesh into a better approximation of my true shape. Desperately, I consumed more and more, hoping for the briefest echo of what I once was. Instead, like a fire, I burned too quickly, destroying even my host’s form. Darkness. It was raining when we fought. What if the mud and filth cover me? What if I’m hidden for thousands of years? Trapped in this prison. The horror of that idea feeds my panic. The battle is ending. I can feel it. I must will my form upright. I must… I must... I have no arms or legs. The darkness binds me, like a cocoon. No. I will myself upright. But I can’t know if it is working. I cannot know anything but the darkness. Please. Let some mortal find me. Please. I beg the darkness endlessly, but the humiliation of my plea is answered only with silence. But then… I feel a mortal nearby. I have no eyes, no ears, but I can feel his approach. He is fleeing from adversaries. He must try to defend himself. He must grasp me. Can he see me? He could run past me. I would be left here. I feel his hand grip this form and… and his consciousness opens to me! I burrow into him, pulling him down. I am like a drowning man thrown into the sea by a shipwreck, dragging myself to the surface by clawing past my fellows. “What’s happening?!” the mortal screams. But he is silenced by the darkness-the endless darkness I have just escaped. And I have eyes. I can see the falling rain. The muck. The blood of this slaughtering field. In front of me stand two weary knights with spears. I cut them apart, and drink in their forms, recrafting this body to my needs. They are weak. I must move quickly. I must find a better wielder. A better host. Around me are only the dead and dying. I hear their souls retreating from this world. The fighting has not ended. It’s moved inside the city walls. I force my new shape-limping, crawling-toward the sounds of battle. Toward a better host. I roar. But not in triumph. Never in triumph. I will drink from that city, but I will achieve only a grotesque mockery of my former glory. I was shaped by the stars, and the purity of my aspect. I was light and reason given shape. I defended this world in the greatest battles ever known. Now, blood and ichor drips from this stolen flesh as it decays. The muscles and bones struggle, tear, and protest the abomination I have become. I take a breath. “No, Aatrox,” I say, my voice wet and echoing off the dead that surround me. “We will go onward... and onward… and onward…” Until the final oblivion comes.
"My suffering... I will make it bloom" This quote has so many explanations it speaks volumes depending on how you interpret the quote itself from your own perspective. there is two ways I see it to either take your pain your misery and your despair and turn it against everything that ever wronged you or two to use that pain and agony and grow as a person use that wisdom you almost died for and give it to others help them grow help them and stop them from suffering your indignities Aatrox you are respected my friend(and pantheon for epic quotes)
the more u grow the more u relate to the villains thats why kids aspire to be a hero and adults agree with the villain but who we are and why we are here the answer to this question we carry inside im at the lowest of my life rn i want to be as courageous as a hero but desperate as a villain im stuck between the void of both these days will soon be over i want to stay strong and not be affected by the darkness but i want to keep a fraction of darkness and a light i want to be in the middle so i could grow as a person who knows the balance i hope ill see a bright day where i could just relax and just relax
A creature known as a "darkin" in league of legends. To sum of the lore of the darkin, they were once ascended warriors who would protect a land called Shurima. However during a war against the void they began to become corrupted, some of the ascended anyway. One of those who started getting corrupted began to utilize blood magic which only further corrupted some of the darkin. In response a war against them was made where many of them were sealed away, they were all sealed in weapons mind you. Aatrox, the one in the video, was one of the strongest and his seal after breaking left him mad and broken. He spiraled further and further downhill as more and more people became his host, fought over and over, died and repeated. Aatrox is a man who's body is so strong that he cannot die, he's immortal so he cannot age, and so in retaliation for the body the world gave him he wants it's destruction so he may rest and hear silence. That is his wish, death.
I always love listening to aatrox quotes. Ingame you mostly hear his screaming but when you listen to it separately you can actually hear the pain in his voice. Aatrox definitely is one of the best written champs in lol

"I touched the stars and saw the glorious light of a thousand suns! Now.. Blinded by this elegance, how could my purpose be anything.. But dark..." You can really see how far Aatrox has fallen in this line. They were described as majestic beings with wings as they were the golden light of dawn and now reduced to nothing but an abomination of all life hates.
"My darkness was not born. It was forged by my prison. For my imprisonment, they will suffer! They will call me villain. Come, let me earn their hatred again and forever!" The tragedy of a great hero who broke and fell!
Every villain, is a broken hero. All preaching and spreading chaos in the name of despair. Hated by the masses, and scorned by nations. Slayed by heros and burnt at stakes. But if only they knew, that these villains, are those who needed saving the most. For they were exposed to horrors, that no man should ever know.

Notice how villains are always speaking about stealing hope from people, it’s just because they’ve had theirs stolen from them. People spread what they feel, life just brings out the worst in people, it’s a sad existence. But I conclude, it is better for a man to ground his feet firmly in light and take a stand against all odds. No matter how long and no matter how hard, villains are always annoyed by heros, giving reasons why their hope is folly and the like.

His words making me turn into villain, a broken villain who griefs and cries over every life he takes cause he knows what it worths, what it meant him when he was alive physically and emotionally.
The sad part he is always in pain and agony and is trapped. He embraces his roll even if the world sees him as a monster but who is the real monster the monster or the ones calling him a monster. Because the real monsters are those who stand in the light and cover themselves in good deeds and those in the darkness and abyss the the heros who were used and discarded and fell into darkness after seeing the truth of the world
It's... Sad when you read his lore and then Pantheon's lore since Atreus and Aatrox are mirrors of each other. Both imprisoned in a way by the aspects who betrayed them, but the difference between the two is that Atreus chose to fight for humanity while Aatrox chose to a harbinger of death to end all things in a bid to end his suffering
The saddest part is that usually you expect to cry when someone is talking in a low, calming, 'professional tone, or at least that is what I thought as a child, though listening to this voice actor deliver the lines of such a character with such loud, unbounded, unbothered voice, as if he did not care about what others would think of his words, either think of it as 'cringy', hateful, or just plain sad, his character fears so much, and yet knows what he wants......truly well written
It's so tearful. Aattrox is like, trying to remind himself that he have to be destructive, that he have to be bad for it to all end. HE HAVE TO BE BAD. just so he can end his suffering. The ring of emotions in his breath.... I hate it. But it's why I love Aatrox. All 500games with Aatrox, I put nothing but his voice at max volume.

He will destroy the world itself and hope that ends him. If he stops killing he will go back into the blade and eternally suffer until somebody else picks him up, the only choice he has is further killing - that's a good villain for me.

Hi I just wanted to say that I have finally updated Kira Quote plz do have a look and share your thoughts 😊
The story of a broken hero
Exactly!
I never read Aatrox's backstory, but by the heavens and light above, how could I not know of this tale? Such grief and wisdom, so much knowledge and so much sorrow.
Ikr, it happens so much wisdom close to us all along however we sometimes we just don't see it
Ok so aatrox is a champion of a and empire called "sheremiah", he was the a sort of icon being respected by many heroes for being true and just, one day his empire sheremiah and another joined together to fight against a rebellion and they did win the battle but of course there are fatalities in war and that included aatrox. Eventually the empire sheremiah, and since the empire is no longer standing they went under a new name called "the sun born" but over time they started changing and another war started over the ruins of their world the mortals who ran away called the sun born by a new name, "the darkin" and as the war continued aatrox's sword basically like absorbed him one day and has been absorbing other people who touch the sword. and he lost his mortality and became immortal and when he absorbs people they are completely dead essentially, only aatrox's mind/ consciousness is present in the sword
Edit: I haven't played the game myself but from this line here 0:10 it seems he does consider himself, well himself even tho his mind is the only one there and none of the other consciousness of the people he had absorbed aren't there
@@lizardintux8002 bro that's not even close
@@sifamon3876 I know I was trying to sorta put it in a nutshell ;-; sorry
@@lizardintux8002 In other term. A hero of light, which brings victory and hope. Now betrayed, enchained and trapped. In his own weapon, no limbs, no lungs, no tongue, no eyes and no hope. Thousands of years in a prison in which he is unable to breathe; constantly drowning yet never dying. Pushed him to the verge of insanity, now out of desperation, he uses blood magic to absorb flesh to recast himself back. *HOPING* that he can return to his former glory, with one mission in mind. *HOPING* if he could bring all of creation, all of life to a final apocalyptic battle where everything and everyone cease to exist; he would be free. To die is his wish.
Awww, shame this video doesn't use my favourite Aatrox quote.
"I am not your enemy.
I am *THE* enemy!"
*LET BLOOD BE OUR SACRAMENT!*
*FIGHT, OR BE FORGOTTEN!*
Your all such amazing specimens ^ ty 4 the laughs 😂😂😂
Anyone: *breaths*

Targon: Pantheon becoming an aspect, season's ending could be his battle agains Aatrox where Atreus takes back control over the body.

A true hero never gives up. He accepts the darkness in him and continues to advance. They never become evil. As Stallone says, “when you feel like you’re going to break down but you don’t give up, that’s what makes all the difference in a life” for heroes and villains alike.
@Godder Ssj Just because you write in capital letters doesn’t mean you’re right.. Darkness is only a temptation, it is the ease to deny one’s emotions and feel stronger. A hero is one who endures in spite of the pain, who continues to go forward without ever losing his values.

Betrayed by those who he sworn to protect. Betrayed by the very ideals he withheld. Trapped in a blade for a long time, which drove him into insanity. He's suffering. He wants to die. But he knows no one can kill him. But even then, he's still hoping that there'd be someone to stop him. To end his existence.

Rage and hatred has always been the strongest emotion, love can move mountains but rage can destroy the world. Aatrox once one of the most noble warrior, scarred by the horrors of battle and betrayed by the people he had protected. Hatred consumed him and now the ones who tricked him will suffer the consequence of his wrath born from his rage and imprisonment
The ones that theoretically tricked him are the void. He's not really targeting the void specifically though he's just legit done with life.
@@yoshtheknife the void corrupted him, but Shurima and the other gods betrayed him.

They may called him the "darkest champion" but deep down we know, he kills with despair knowing this is his only purpose. Knowing only to kill is your purpose and not even to do anything is the hardest, he suffers as they suffer. This why this champion is my favorite
Am I the abyss?
Or did I gaze into it?
We have another name once...
Now We are Darkin!
I march to death...
Though I wish it was my own...

A mockery of its freedom...
And born in the cruel betrayal of the noble ideals I would've served
I am oblivion
I am destruction...
I am doom
I have no goodness left
It was taken from me, stolen!
I am the nemesis of life
Where I was excellence
I am deformed...
Recast poorly with these crude materials
But this abomination of flesh
Well serves my murderous intent

and making them lament my unholy birth!

How could my purpose be anything...
But dark...My darkness was not born
It was forged by my prison
For my imprisonment They will suffer!
They will call me villain...
Come... let me earn their hatred
again and forever
I shall take their limbs
I will reap their beloved!
I will tear from their consciousness
The will to live
They sing of love
Hope and Gods
All that makes them want to live!
So... I will quiet that first!
I will have silence
Every dream
Is a candle I must snuff out...
I... Am the darkness...
Let me tear their flesh from them
Let me break their souls...
And murder their dreams
YES... This is my purpose
I beg
Let some challenge me today...
So that I may tear out their hearts!
Pray!
Let me watch them die
Eyes knowing they served...
My dark purpose...
I shall regard their cries as braying steeds
Waiting to be whipped, broken and bridled!
Their screams will be like the soothing hum of insects
at dusk
I will render these mortals' forms into my own!
There is a darkness in my heart deeper than any shadow!
My suffering... I will make it bloom
I shall not kiss the ground
Nor let myself be wielded as a tool!
I am damned, but i will remake this world in my dark image!
From entire villages and towns I will rend the flesh...
Until I stand...
I must destroy even hope
They think me defeated
Enchained
But I am unbowed...
As long as this form lives
I will punish them
Norble is this carnage
I shall give them death
Though I will carry myself as my former pride dictates!
We march to battle...
March toward vengeance...
Drown this world in blood!
No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity...
But I know none...
And therefore
I'm no beast
Those who call me enemy I welcome them
Where are they now?
Let me carve flesh, let me cloak myself in the slaughter!
Hide me in their carnage...
Until all life ends...
March flesh...
March toward them!
We have horrors to sow!
Lives to reap!
Let me make them regret...

As my old boy Aatrox said:
Peace is the greatest lie of all.
Just wanted to mention that, in 05:43, you used one sentence from one of the most deep and well made quote he have
And then, I noticed that you made an depiction of Aatrox feeling way more like a "vengence path" than a "suicidal wish" and I'm actually amazed by that.
Being able to witness so many layers in Aatrox over so many different perspectives makes me proud of his writting.
Btw, the quote is "The heavens... The endless skies folding into each other... where are they now...?"

"I touched the stars, and saw the glorious light of a thousand suns! Now... blinded by this elegance, how could my purpose be anything... but dark?"
Damn.... gives me goosebumps every time
I touched the stars.
The pain you hear in this one sentence just breaks my heart.
Isn't it irony? Aatrox is now vessel full of pain and hatred, yet we feel closer to him than to characters like Garen or Lux who's supposed to be complete opposite. I find that ironical. We understand him,in a way, feel the same, we feel pain and darkness in our hearts, deep down.
You can really tell he doesn't want to destroy, but can't stop himself from continuing to do so.
Been listening to this for months. Just makes me want to see a series of this character or any adaptation of telling his tale.
This is a true villian. One who has been a hero and his sad fate, his despair changes him. Embracing the darkness. Abandoning the nobel ideals once held as a hero, finding hope as nothing but a Lie.
“I am dammed, but I will remake this world in my dark image”.
You can feel how rage in pain lies in his words and voice.
Whoever voiced this character is a damn legend. We only have audio and a picture here but you can hear and feel so much from how he speaks.
Ending it with
“With have horrors to sow, lives to reap, let me make them regret being free”
This alone is such a masterpiece of a quote.
Exactly my fakin thoughs. I like this storyline better than arcane
5:25
Actually aatrox is saying that he is not a beast but stops halfway because he knows that no one will listen to him and he will never be able to redeem himself or change his purpose.....
He knows that he has no hope left and that he is damned to be an abomination but he can't accept it...
I fell asleep to soft piano music and woke up to "am I the abyss?", that scared the crap outta me
I touched the stars, and saw the glorious light of a thousand suns, now blinded by this elegance, how could my purpose be anything but darkness…
THE CAGE
BY ODIN AUSTIN SHAFER
Darkness.
The breath I cannot take plagues me.
It is an emptiness in my lungs and throat. As if I had stopped mid-breath, and then held my lungs cruelly waiting. My mouth open, throat hollow, unable to pull in air. My chest, the horrible tension on my thorax.
My limbs and muscles refuse to move. I cannot breathe. I am choking. The pressure builds. The stillness spreads to my chest and limbs. I want to scream, to tear at my face, to wail-but I am trapped. I cannot move. I cannot move.
Darkness.
I must remember. I must remem-
The battle. I lost control. It was foolish. The mortals formed in ranks against me. I crashed into them. Drank from them. The temptation was too great. As I reaped, I reforged their flesh into a better approximation of my true shape. Desperately, I consumed more and more, hoping for the briefest echo of what I once was. Instead, like a fire, I burned too quickly, destroying even my host’s form.
Darkness.
It was raining when we fought. What if the mud and filth cover me? What if I’m hidden for thousands of years? Trapped in this prison. The horror of that idea feeds my panic. The battle is ending. I can feel it. I must will my form upright. I must… I must...
I have no arms or legs. The darkness binds me, like a cocoon.
No. I will myself upright. But I can’t know if it is working. I cannot know anything but the darkness.
Please. Let some mortal find me. Please. I beg the darkness endlessly, but the humiliation of my plea is answered only with silence.
But then…
I feel a mortal nearby. I have no eyes, no ears, but I can feel his approach. He is fleeing from adversaries. He must try to defend himself. He must grasp me.
Can he see me? He could run past me. I would be left here.
I feel his hand grip this form and… and his consciousness opens to me!
I burrow into him, pulling him down. I am like a drowning man thrown into the sea by a shipwreck, dragging myself to the surface by clawing past my fellows.
“What’s happening?!” the mortal screams. But he is silenced by the darkness-the endless darkness I have just escaped.
And I have eyes.
I can see the falling rain. The muck. The blood of this slaughtering field. In front of me stand two weary knights with spears. I cut them apart, and drink in their forms, recrafting this body to my needs.
They are weak. I must move quickly. I must find a better wielder. A better host. Around me are only the dead and dying. I hear their souls retreating from this world.
The fighting has not ended. It’s moved inside the city walls. I force my new shape-limping, crawling-toward the sounds of battle. Toward a better host.
I roar. But not in triumph. Never in triumph.
I will drink from that city, but I will achieve only a grotesque mockery of my former glory. I was shaped by the stars, and the purity of my aspect. I was light and reason given shape. I defended this world in the greatest battles ever known. Now, blood and ichor drips from this stolen flesh as it decays. The muscles and bones struggle, tear, and protest the abomination I have become.
I take a breath.
“No, Aatrox,” I say, my voice wet and echoing off the dead that surround me. “We will go onward... and onward… and onward…”
Until the final oblivion comes.
Surprised that I actually need to hear this best timing
The something beautiful about pain and darkness...
This gave me chills man. And why am I even crying? Damn.
4:53 must be my fav moment. "... But I am unbowed..." with the music going with it i love it. Huge respect to whoever made this

Same here bro
"My suffering ... I will make it bloom"
I love that line
"My suffering... I will make it bloom" This quote has so many explanations it speaks volumes depending on how you interpret the quote itself from your own perspective. there is two ways I see it to either take your pain your misery and your despair and turn it against everything that ever wronged you or two to use that pain and agony and grow as a person use that wisdom you almost died for and give it to others help them grow help them and stop them from suffering your indignities Aatrox you are respected my friend(and pantheon for epic quotes)
the more u grow the more u relate to the villains thats why kids aspire to be a hero and adults agree with the villain but who we are and why we are here the answer to this question we carry inside im at the lowest of my life rn i want to be as courageous as a hero but desperate as a villain im stuck between the void of both these days will soon be over i want to stay strong and not be affected by the darkness but i want to keep a fraction of darkness and a light i want to be in the middle so i could grow as a person who knows the balance i hope ill see a bright day where i could just relax and just relax
I stood against the void ,now I welcome it . The best line I've ever heard 😬
Idk who this guy is but he’s badass and I am definitely feeling his energy.
He is a kind of demon...
Darkin
A creature known as a "darkin" in league of legends. To sum of the lore of the darkin, they were once ascended warriors who would protect a land called Shurima. However during a war against the void they began to become corrupted, some of the ascended anyway. One of those who started getting corrupted began to utilize blood magic which only further corrupted some of the darkin. In response a war against them was made where many of them were sealed away, they were all sealed in weapons mind you. Aatrox, the one in the video, was one of the strongest and his seal after breaking left him mad and broken. He spiraled further and further downhill as more and more people became his host, fought over and over, died and repeated. Aatrox is a man who's body is so strong that he cannot die, he's immortal so he cannot age, and so in retaliation for the body the world gave him he wants it's destruction so he may rest and hear silence. That is his wish, death.
I always love listening to aatrox quotes. Ingame you mostly hear his screaming but when you listen to it separately you can actually hear the pain in his voice. Aatrox definitely is one of the best written champs in lol
I think he needed someone to be there for him since he was alone for a long time ago
These words... god... GOD DAMN... They're making me cry so much bro. It's... so well written... so well spoken... so... So... Perfect... and So Real.... The One Who Created This... Made A Master Piece Indeed... and the one who spoke this... Spoke The Best. And Gave The Absolute Best. Better than any actor ever to live and any voice actor that has spoken.

"Born into the cruel betrayal of the noble ideals I would have served. My darkness was not born it was forged by my prison. Though I will carry myself as my former pride dictates"
I don't even play this game anymore, but some of these champions have so much depth that you can't help but fall in love with the lore.
the pain in his voice..
"I touched the stars and saw the glorious light of a thousand suns! Now.. Blinded by this elegance, how could my purpose be anything.. But dark..."
You can really see how far Aatrox has fallen in this line. They were described as majestic beings with wings as they were the golden light of dawn and now reduced to nothing but an abomination of all life hates.
This is the only speech that has TRULY touched my heart ❤️ it's soo buetiful 😭❤️❤️
im not an aatrox player but he's my favourite character so far i love his sad story sm it make sense how he became the villain he is now
Villains are actually heroes in clothing of villains
Everyone is hero untill time make change the stroy his/her life
Put it differently, heroes are villains with a fake mask on
"My darkness was not born. It was forged by my prison. For my imprisonment, they will suffer! They will call me villain. Come, let me earn their hatred again and forever!"
The tragedy of a great hero who broke and fell!
Coming back and watching this again... I felt like his voice is made of pain
Every villain, is a broken hero.
All preaching and spreading chaos in the name of despair.
Hated by the masses, and scorned by nations.
Slayed by heros and burnt at stakes.
But if only they knew, that these villains, are those who needed saving the most. For they were exposed to horrors, that no man should ever know.
Wooooow holy!!! I have to save this!!! Did you write it Terry? Btw I'm glad to see your comment you've been along the journey and its nice to see your comments even if somtimes I miss some of them.
@@WordsBeyondFiction Yes I did bro, missed youuuu!!!😂😂😂
I am happy my comments mean that much to you.
And yes you were right, I’m nearing the end of my search for answers in this world.
Notice how villains are always speaking about stealing hope from people, it’s just because they’ve had theirs stolen from them. People spread what they feel, life just brings out the worst in people, it’s a sad existence. But I conclude, it is better for a man to ground his feet firmly in light and take a stand against all odds. No matter how long and no matter how hard, villains are always annoyed by heros, giving reasons why their hope is folly and the like. But deep down, they’re angry that someone is walking down the path they abandoned and is succeeding.
I know, because I was one of them.
And don’t worry bro, I’m seriously glad you’re back!!!❤️

His words making me turn into villain, a broken villain who griefs and cries over every life he takes cause he knows what it worths, what it meant him when he was alive physically and emotionally.
Abyss returns even the boldest gaze yet Aatrox gladly embraces it
"Let me tear there flesh from them show the true end of the darkness"
These are powerful to those who hear them from what they really mean
Gotta love the nothing else Matters piano cover, made me rate the vid a 10/10
This is without a doubt one of the best fkin poem I've listened to in my life. Beautiful.
pantheon and aatrox rework is so good, i could listen to their voice lines and coom on the spot
"I march to death. though I wish it was my own..."
Now that's one of the best written lines ever
The sad part he is always in pain and agony and is trapped. He embraces his roll even if the world sees him as a monster but who is the real monster the monster or the ones calling him a monster. Because the real monsters are those who stand in the light and cover themselves in good deeds and those in the darkness and abyss the the heros who were used and discarded and fell into darkness after seeing the truth of the world
Salute to the writer for such a wonderful writing you can fell the darkness within.
'I am not a king, I am not a GOD!!,
I am.... Worse'
"Once in noble battle I screamed against the silence.
Now... I serve a new master..
Oblivion."
I love this sentence soooo much! goosebumps
It's... Sad when you read his lore and then Pantheon's lore since Atreus and Aatrox are mirrors of each other. Both imprisoned in a way by the aspects who betrayed them, but the difference between the two is that Atreus chose to fight for humanity while Aatrox chose to a harbinger of death to end all things in a bid to end his suffering
It's really hard to find someone who understands them. And here is one.
Damn, that touches my soul.
''I have no goodness left, it was taken from me, stolen!'' this line...
I'd love to see more league of legends champions ! I love the background music, awesome video !

Anger and sadness in this guy is,... wow
The saddest part is that usually you expect to cry when someone is talking in a low, calming, 'professional tone, or at least that is what I thought as a child, though listening to this voice actor deliver the lines of such a character with such loud, unbounded, unbothered voice, as if he did not care about what others would think of his words, either think of it as 'cringy', hateful, or just plain sad, his character fears so much, and yet knows what he wants......truly well written
It's so tearful. Aattrox is like, trying to remind himself that he have to be destructive, that he have to be bad for it to all end. HE HAVE TO BE BAD. just so he can end his suffering. The ring of emotions in his breath.... I hate it. But it's why I love Aatrox. All 500games with Aatrox, I put nothing but his voice at max volume.
The way he says "I touched the stars"
You have no idea how happy I am to see you're back ❤
Nice of you to say that Senja
Once an Ascended, a hero, a protector that fought agaist the void... Now a prisoner, fueled by revenge and hatred.
