Inner Demons was a World of Warcraft fan fiction by Esperanta Dragon. This fan fiction was created in 2014 and was available on wowfan.cz and DeviantArt, but was later removed for unknown reasons. It was originally written in Czech but a few English excerpts were made available by the author on the MMO Champion forum.
The story revolves around Sir Zeliek, a light-wielding paladin death knight in the game up until Wrath of the Lich King, and his backstory on how he was raised by Kel'Thuzad as a death knight, ultimately becoming a member of the original Four Horsemen.
According to the original author, Sir Zeliek is referred to as Thomas Zeliek, as they thought "Zeliek" is a weird given name.
Admin notes[]
This fan fiction was retrieved by this wiki's admin via Wayback Machine. This is intended for preservation purposes only, as I find the lack of fan fictions revolving around Sir Zeliek to be somewhat disappointing, despite him being a unique boss in the game. This was one of the most detailed fan fictions of him to have been published, so it's quite unfortunate that the original author deleted it and it has yet to be republished almost 10 years later.
The wiki's admin discovered this fan fiction after making some random Google searches and stumbling upon this fan art which mentions this particular story. However, upon clicking it, it only returns a 404 page, and some more searches led to the above MMO Champion page, which reveals that it was published on wowfan.cz.
Unfortunately, some of the parts are missing because the Wayback Machine didn't capture a snapshot of them for some reason. These are chapters 4, 18, 19, and 20 (ending). Because of this, the ending of this story is currently unknown and there are some contexts that are missing.
The fan fiction was translated to English using Google Translate, with some minor corrections. I find the translation to be accurate enough (when compared to the original author's English translation) that it's usable for this purpose.
In the case of the original author's English excerpts and the original story in Czech, they were separated into their own pages.
