Blood King

Wraiths swim in the darkness like leaves tossed in a gust, parting to reveal Anasterian, split from shoulder to thigh like a lightning-struck oak.

Confounded, Kael reaches out. "Father?"

The specter shakes his head and turns away.

"What has happened to my people?" Kael shouts. "Valanar? Keleseth? Lana'thel? Where are they?"

Lana'thel drifts to him, her ghostly throat gaping with a terrible wound. "We are no longer your people," she says. "We are his."

And then, as his memories of Quel'Thalas and Jaina are dragged into the abyss, he kneels on the glacier and pledges fealty to his new master.
