Dragons Hope

Chapter 7: The Time is Now

The Caverns of Time, Tanaris

The time isss now, I must go. Everything resssts on this very moment. The Bronze Aspect bowed his head to his guests and turned to leave.

"Very well, but you will not prevent this meeting again Timeless one." The figure turned and stalked away with a nearby Time Rift.

Nozdormu quickly searched his lair for the correct moment in time, then quickly rushed through the Rift. He had to get to her in the exact moment or time would collapse and she would never see the power she was destined.

The Obsidian Sanctuary

"Work faster you blasted fools! I will not disappoint the master a second time! Move the eggs into the smaller portals! We can not risk them!" Nalice turned and made sure every order was executed swiftly and without incident.

"Lady Nalice." A Dragonspawn female had walked behind Nalice and spoken softly.

"What?" Nalice turned and rested her eye on the Dragonspawn. Immediately the small Dragonkin looked downward. Nalice chuckled. "Does it make you... nervous? To know that a dragon could lose so much defending her Master? To know that when you risk everything, you get nothing in return?"

Nalice had been a gorgeous drake, her whole brood had been remarkably strong, powerful and loyal. Nalice had been rumored to be the next consort for Deathwing, that is until the Great Sundering.

When the Dragon flights had taken the Dragon Soul to smite the Demons, the Blue flight had attacked the Earthwarden. When they encircled him, it forced his back to be open to attack. Some Blue dragons had seen the oportunity, and began to dive towards his exposed spot. Nalice had seen this and, for her Master, she had blocked several of the Blues. Starting her own bloody battle with them, because she was only a drake at the time she was brutally mauled by the larger dragons.

Nalice's eye had been scratched out, and a mass of scars danced over her maw. Her left wing was missing an inner segment of bone, making her flights short and painful. Her wing membrane had grown back in an odd manner, it attached her shoulder and the tip of the broken wing segment; making the other segment useless. Her tail no longer had the club like numerous other dragons of ever flight, instead she had made her own club with teeth and claws from other dragons. Her body was scarred, hiding her once awe-inspiring body.

Despite what she had risked, Nalice was given nothing. She was given no praise, no rank, no consort-ship. Nalice, who was once whispered about her gorgeous figure, was now whispered about her ugly difformed body now.

"N-no my Lady." The Dragonspawn took a deep breath and looked up at the abomination that was Nalice.

"You can hide anything behind a Mortal form, even your gender; but nothing can be hidden in this form." Nalice turned away and made sure the progress with the eggs was going well. "Report."

"Lord Deathwing wishes for a portal."

"I have several, what does he need it for?"

"He wants one large enough to allow him access to the Sanctum."

"... He wants to come here?" Nalice turned to the mage.

"Yes, he needs the portal to be large enough and sustain long enough for him to enter the Wyrmrest Shrine."

"I'll need several more Dragonspawn mages. Or... Blue dragons." Nalice's twisted maw turned into a horror inspiring grin. "Rally several of the strongest Dragons. I will be paying a visit to the Nexus soon."

The Nexus, Northrend

Keristrasza had run as fast as she could, she had to reach Malygos before He did. She hadn't looked back when Neria had called her name, if she had then he would have killed her.

"Keristrasza? What ever is the matter?" Ley Guardian Eregos was walked from the Eye of Eternity.

"Please, can you open a portal to the Eye? I need to speak to Malygos now!" She glanced behind herself, making sure a shadow was not following her.

"Very well, but you will have to tell me what has got you so spooked later." He began to conjured and portal.

"Very well, please hurry." She gently urged him to quicken his pace.

"There." He shook his head to clear some of the arcane power that had built within the room.

Without a word Keristrasza slipped through the portal.

"Hmmm... ungratiful dragons these days. In my time..." Eregos' voice could be heard echoing down the halls as he strolled through the Nexus.

Keristrasza waited a moment to compose herself, the Arcane magic did not aggre with her no matter how many runes Malygos put on her.

"Malygos?" Keristrasza starred in the starry sky. "It is of utmost importance that I speak to you." She called for the Blue Aspect.

"Keristrasza." His voice echoed through the Ley lines. Keristrasza turned and saw her Master was standing behind her. "Make this quick. I have just given all of my power for now to the Ley lines." He laid down and closed his eyes.

"What? You must regain your strength! NOW!" She shouted. Immediately Malygos lifted his head and glared at the Red female.

"You will not order your Lord. Now tell me what you need before I put a silencing spell on you." He growled and laid his head down again, keeping his eyes on the frantic female.

"She has an egg. His egg! We must do something, we can not let his spawn return to him." Keristrasza began to pace and pant.

"Who has an egg?" Malygos stood, suddenly interested.

"Neria, she has a single egg. It's due soon. It's His egg!" She starred at the Spellweaver. "Please! He's here! We have to do something!"

Malygos growled and walk towards the edge of the platform. "I will deal with this, find Sapphrigos and report to him." He flung himself off the platform and slowly opened his wings. "I must regain more then my past power if he is here." He began to drain the power of his domain while Keristrasza went back through the portal she had entered in.
