The howling winds of the Dragonblight ravaged the landscape and any travelers within, but to the self named death knight, Titanrage, it felt like any other day. He was flying back to his home in the Wyrmrest temple, still thinking about his encounter in Coldarra.
"I don't quite understand how that paladin's mind works. He fights me with little reason when he first sees me, but a few months and one conversation later and that doesn't matter to him?"
"Well," exclaimed the voice of the red dragon tailing behind him, "From what I heard, that may be the longest conversation you've had with anyone you've ever fought."
"Hmm, that is true," he pondered, "He is the only one that ever lasted that long against me. But I still think it's weird. Nothing had changed between us until then."
"If not between you, then maybe one of you has canged." he inputted.
"I've been watching you since you were brought to the temple, and I have seen what you are really like. You are not an angry, visious creature. You do have a soft side, especially around Alexstrazsa, you just have a thick shell around it. Something has lowered that shell, and she may have been the one to do it."
Titan sighed and continued onward, leaving the dragon behind and arriving at the top floor of the temple, though he knew he would be in trouble. Sure enough, the dragonqueen was there, staring with concern at the tauren.
"Where were you?" she asked quietly, "I was worried about you."
"The name is Titanrage now," he yelled back. Seeing her saddened expression, he calmed down and replied, "I'm sorry, but I was worried about the captain and had to go after him."
"Well," she thought, "You came back fine, and you can take care of yourself anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter. But please, let me know when you are gone."
"I will, dragonqueen."
In the next few uneventful minuted, Titan began to ponder his previous conversation with the captain, and decided to go traveling.
"Alexstrazsa, I'm leaving Northrend to meet someone, that I need to face again, but I will return soon."
"Good luck Titan," she called out to him, already flying south. "But why do you need to see this person?"
He simply cried back, "I need to ask him something!"
