AN: Hello and welcome back to Naruto: Azeroth Chronicles.
Some of you don't like the POV style of writing in this story. If you don't like reading POV stories, then don't read this story. Don't cry to me about how it's hard to read because of it.
Here's a description of POVs for all the crybabies out there.
First Person Point of View: When a narrator who refers to him/herself as "I." Often, a first-person narrator is limited to his or her own experiences and thoughts who must assume the feelings, thoughts, or reactions of other characters, so first-person narrators may be unreliable or naive.
Third Person Point of View: Uses narrators who may be either omniscient or limited. Omniscient narrators are all-knowing, so they can do more than just tell the story: they can go into the minds of each character to reveal what each character is thinking and feeling. Limited narrators tell the story through the eyes of only one or a few characters
I hope you understand a bit better, so wipe of your tears of stupidity and enjoy reading.
The poll is now closed! Next chapter will be Deathwing's reign of terror!
The score was somewhat one-sided, but here it is.
Darkshore: 47 (Holy crap!)
Booty Bay: 4
Thousand Needles: 4
The Barrens: 2
It seems that the Night Elves are the favorite among the readers.
Other than that, thanks to all who reviewed and enjoy this next chapter of Naruto: Azeroth Chronicles!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Warcaft or any other games and/or shows which I may relate to.
Chapter 14
The Great Red
The Nexus, Coldarra
Naruto POV (First Person)
I gave a slight curse as I saw Malygos fly away.
I looked around and I gave a slight shiver from the cold. All around me was dark blue sky, freezing winds, and the ever-so-often snowflake that crawled down from the sky.
Walking to the edge of the platform, I kicked a rock off of it and watched it sail endlessly down to the ice below.
'300 meters…' I summed up.
Tensing my legs, I gave a slight chuckle at how stupid this was, but it'll pay off when I get there.
And with that, I jumped.
Bottom of the Nexus, Coldarra
Author POV (Third Person)
Twenty silhouettes lurked around the icy land, each blending with the little cover that was available. The leader, or so it seemed by the reek of death around him, looked up and his eyes widened at what he saw.
He saw the 'Killer Fox', their goal and bounty, falling from the sky!
He watched as he pierced the air headfirst, and in an amazing display of acrobatics despite the forces holding him, he somersaulted in the air and slammed his feet into the ice below. The ice stood no chance; the target smashed through it easily, and right under it was a conveniently placed bed of water.
Waves of water flew out from the impact and they splashed all around the clearing, and shocked silence reigned over the land. Then, a few words were whispered that put fear in the leader's heart.
"Water Style: Shocking Tidal Wave"
The twenty figures watched with wide eyes as all of the water around them, the water from the water bed, the ice water, even the Hydrogen particles in the air were sucked into one giant wave, and on top of it stood their target, his sword screaming with electricity in his hand. Not a second later, he jumps up, but not before stabbing the electric-covered sword into the water, creating a tidal wave, blazing with electricity.
Ten of the figures were swallowed up in the wave, each having thousands of volts of electricity coursing, burning through their body. Their silent screams made the remaining ten wince, as they saw half of their men's eyes roll to the back of their heads, and they passed into the afterlife, looks of shock and extreme anguish on their lifeless faces.
The figure jumped out of the smoke from the impact, two glowing swords at his sides; one with flame and the other electrified. He jumped straight for the closest offender, noting by his stance, weaponry, and armor that he is a Warrior.
Warriors are well known and feared for their fearlessness and ferocity in battle. They have a very aggressive stance, and try as best as they can to always be on offense. They are usually equipped with swords and shields, though some use two handed weapons, be it axe or sword. One of the major problems with Warriors is that they focus mainly on attacks, and forgo most defensive abilities. Thus, they have high pain tolerance and plate or mail armor to withstand blows while they go on offense.
Naruto jumped, raised his sword and brought it down, the Warrior just barely bringing his sword up to block. The clash painfully jarred the Warrior's arm as he gave a pained yell. Naruto, still in mid-air span around and kicked the side of the shield, and it was sent sprawling into the ground.
He heard arrows piercing the wind, and grabbed the stunned Warrior and put him in front of the arrow's path, his swords sheathed. They pierced his armor easily and he gave another scream in pain. His danger sense going off, Naruto throws the Warrior behind him and he smashed into a much smaller Rogue, his dagger poised to stab into his neck.
He grabbed two shot arrows out of thin air and threw them back, and they hit the hidden Hunter in the head. Without a sound, his eyes rolled into the back of his head, and his lifeless body fell to the ground.
He threw a punch into what seemed to be air, but he felt it smash into flesh and breaking his skull. The Rogue flew back and hit the ground blood pooling out of his open head. He felt the air above him get colder and cursed as an ice bolt fell from above him. He dodged to the side as more and more bolts fell from above.
The bolts came less and less and soon stopped, and Naruto immediately noticed another fireball coming towards him. Instead of dodging, he ran straight at it. When it got close, he jumped over it and kept running, the Fireball dissolving into the wind. He saw a flash of red and chased after it. When he got close he saw a Mage conjuring arcane magic. He threw a kunai that appeared out of his sleeve and threw it, as the Mage cursed and jumped out of the way, the spell dissolving away from his hands.
In a blink, Naruto appeared in front of the Mage and kicked him in the face, his body flying up in the air. The Mage gave a loud scream in pain as he felt his nose break from the impact. He soon started to fall and Naruto watched as he gained speed. He simply raised his knee in the air and watched as the Mage fell right on top of his knee. His spine cracked and he gave a very loud scream, and Naruto winced from the noise.
He heard clapping from his right and immediately saw a very strong person in front of him.
He stood slightly above six feet tall, and had a very powerful stance. He carried a tower shield and a long sword, both oozing magical power. He wore plate armor, and it would look intimidating to most people. The helm was black with bronze trim, and had two large horns sticking out, runic engravings on each side, and two baleful yellow eyes boring into him. The shoulder armor was a dark grey with bronze trim, and had four spikes sticking out of it. Two wing-like blades were sticking out of it, sharpened to the core. The chest was blood red with bronze trim and had engravings on it. The leggings were scale mail and had bronze trim. The boots were plain brown (AN: Warrior Tier 5: Destroyer Armor)
Naruto had one thing to say.
"Nice Halloween costume."
A comical tick mark appeared on his head as he growled out, "I brought twenty men to battle you, and we would split the 1000 gold bounty. I thank you for disposing of them, as now I'll have all the gold to myself." He said cockily.
Naruto just raised an eyebrow and quoted, "Did you say something?"
His face went red with fury and Naruto smirked on the inside. No matter where you are, that will always get your opponents angry.
He pulled out his sword and tower shield and sword, and with a war cry, charged at Naruto, his shield leading. He gained more and more speed and Naruto channeled chakra into his fist and raised his hand. Getting into a stance, he got closer and closer. When he was close enough, he swung his fist forward and it smashed into the shield, sending the enemy sprawling back.
Meanwhile the Warrior was in shock, 'In history, there is only a few of whom can stop a Master Warrior's charge, and yet this nobody stops mine! What is he!'
"That's it?"
He was brought out of his stupor by Naruto's voice, mocking him.
"And I actually thought you would be a challenge. My respect for Warriors has gone down thanks to that pitiful performance." He stated, looking at him with nothing but apathy.
The Warrior seemed to have had enough, as his whole body went red, his muscles gaining strength, and his common sense going out the window. Knowing that the level of this match went up a few notches, he brought out both swords and lit them with their respective chakra.
The Warrior gave a loud battle cry and charged forward, Naruto doing the same. Naruto got there first and he smashed his swords on his shield, dust flying from the impact. The fire chakra started melting the shield and the electricity started crawling up his arm, and the Warrior gave a strained grunt of annoyance. He ripped his shield out of the sword and swung down, and Naruto dodged it with ease.
Naruto went on the offensive and charged at the Warrior, his swords leading the way. The Warrior quickly found himself on the defensive as Naruto pushed him back. After many swipes and slashes, either blocked or connected, his back hit a large rock. At that, Naruto jumped back and pulled out ten shuriken in his hands, each connected by a ninja wire. He threw them towards the sides of the Warrior, and he maneuvered them around the land, all controlled by the wire. He tied a few around a rock, another by a stray bush, a few by a dead tree, and the rest in his mouth and hands. The Warrior looked at this in shock as they wrapped around him. Naruto stabbed the shuriken in his hands on the ground and took a deep breath and said in his mind,
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Jutsu"
With that, the wire connecting from his mouth to the Warrior was lit in a white flame and it laced through the wire. It reached the warrior and he screamed in agony as the flames burned flesh and bone. Soon, the flame ended and Naruto let the wires fall to the ice below them, the Warrior fell to the ground. Naruto walked over to him and felt his pulse. He raised an eyebrow when he noticed that there was still a slight pulse.
He pulled out the Blacklist and looked for him. He turned to a page and it read,
Name: Darrik Renn
Race: Human
Bounty:
Alive: 400 Gold
Dead: 200 Gold
Deliver to: Darnassus
Crimes: Stealing 1000 Gold from the Darnassus Bank, Killing Five Guards, and Rape
Picture: Page 28
Notes: Master of Long Swords, Angered Easily, Proud, and Cocky
'Please… a Master… what a joke.' He thought with a sweat drop.
He pulled out a scroll labeled 'BOUNTIES' and sealed him inside, labeling 'Darrik Renn: Darnassus'
He looked around the clearing and nodded in content, seemingly uncaring that he just defeated twenty people. He did a few hand seals and whispered, "Ninja Art: Ominous Intent"
With that, the whole area was covered in killing intent, making all those around scatter, making sure that nobody would interfere with this process. He brought out the scroll that Bloodclaw was sealed in, and unsealed him. What he saw made his eyes go wide.
His wings were being eaten away!
The holes started where the arrows lodged themselves in, and slowly, the poison ate away at his wings. Bloodclaw woke up with a start and started roaring and screeching in pain. Naruto had a tough time getting him to calm down, as whenever he got close he had to dodge a flailing wing or a swiping claw.
'Shit… There is virtually no way for me to eradicate the poison, but I can stop it from spreading. The only way to heal a Dragon is to… go to the Dragons themselves…Damn' He thought with a sigh.
"Forgive me Bloodclaw" He said and slashed the Daichi in between two scales, blood flowing out of the wound. He quickly collected the blood and channeled chakra into the poisoned areas, all the while dodging swipes and slashes. A bead of sweat dropped down his head; it's very hard to concentrate while avoiding a Dragon after all.
Soon, the poison stopped spreading and Bloodclaw's screams getting lower, but there was still intense pain, since the poison is still there, just not spreading. Naruto quickly sealed him away in a special scroll that stops time and anything that goes in it. He unsealed a large scroll, ink, and brush and wrote different Kanji on it. He nodded at that and rolled the scroll up and put it away for later use.
He sat down in a meditative state and closed his eyes. Soon the world around him faded away, and he came to the oh-so-beautiful mindscape of his. He located Sventar by the green area and he started walking towards him.
Sventar gave a glance in his direction and said, "He's hurt isn't he."
"Yes, Bloodclaw's wings were poisoned by arrows and we need to get him to a healer. But, no human can completely heal a Dragon so…" He let the statement hang in the air for a bit.
"You need to get to the Dragon Realm. And how do you plan to do this?"
"I've set up a way for you to come in to the real world, with a real body," At this Sventar gave Naruto a incredulous glance, "Basically, I'm going to 'summon' you from here into the real world through a seal I will put on you. Once the dimensional connection is set, I will leave here and bring you back into Azeroth. Know that I can sever the connection any time, so I can bring you back here whenever I want. I can control the amount of power I give you; you can be at full strength or you can be nothing more than a large fly. If Deathwing rears his ugly head then you and I will go against him at full strength."
Sventar looked at Naruto with wide eyes, but then nodded, not trusting his words.
"Alright let me put the seal on."
Naruto walked over and did a long set of seals. When he finished, he thrust his hands onto Sventar's chest and said, "Seal!"
With that, Naruto's hands glowed a deep blue color, and they hit Sventar, making him lose his breath for a second. A few moments later, a seal forms on his chest and sinks into his scales.
Sventar panted from the burst on energy and Naruto nodded and said, "Alright, I'm bringing you out at full power so be ready to face Azeroth again."
With that, Naruto closed his eyes and disappeared, leaving a happy Sventar behind him.
He opened his eyes again and looked over the land before him, and brought out the scroll he made before. He put Bloodclaw's blood over it, gathered tons chakra in his hands, and smashed them on the scroll, saying, "Reverse Summoning Jutsu"
With that, a huge plume of smoke rose from the scroll and Sventar, in all of his glory came out and roared to the skies, tremors coursing through the ground below.
Naruto just looked at him and said, "You done?" and when he nodded, jumped up on his leg and ran up to the neck. He locked his feet behind two scales and patted Sventar's neck, as he jumped off the ground and flew away; the only thing left was a large crater form where he jumped.
Skies Nearing the Dragon Realm
'Holy shit….' Naruto thought with wide eyes.
Overall, Bloodclaw flies through the air fast. But Sventar… he is just insane. The speed is miraculous; the ground seems to be nothing but a blur as we pass by it. The clouds are just blobs of white seen only for a few milliseconds. He had to duck his face closer to Sventar's neck so his head won't be torn off by the wind.
Time flew by, literally and figuratively, as they soared through the skies. About five minutes of this insane speed, Sventar starts slowing down. He finally stops and hovers in mid air at seemingly nothing, but Naruto could tell right in front of them was something blocking them, a dome, for lack of a better word.
"You noticed it didn't you?" Sventar said matter-of-factly as Naruto nodded, "It's a giant force field made so only Dragons can come in. The only way to get in if you are not a Dragon is to gain the acceptance of one of the Aspects, once you do, you can get in." He said and Naruto frowned.
"I'm hoping you can get me in?"
"Yes. Plug your ears for a few seconds."
Naruto complied and channeled chakra to make a shield around his ears, as well as putting his hands over them. Sventar nodded at him, noticing the chakra covering his ears and took a deep breath…
He roared at the top of his lungs, and it echoed throughout the skies.
Even with the chakra coating his ears, Naruto winced as the chakra coating his ears fell for a moment, making his ears ring. He waited out the roar, and when Sventar finished, Naruto took a deep breath and let the chakra fall.
"Soon, a member of the Flights will come to greet us. Let me do the talking." He said with a glance in his direction.
Naruto resisted the urge to roll his eyes, 'If I can't speak Draconic then how could I talk to them…'
Soon, a Red Drake came to the edge of the field and his eyes widened when he saw Sventar.
"Svaust re wux? (Who are you?)"
"Sia ominak ui Lyrrothostrasz. si rigluin ekess ukris ekess Alexstrasza."
(My name is Lyrrothostrasz. I need to talk to Alexstrasza.)
"L-Lyrrothostrasz! Shar yth though wux jahen loex!"
(L-Lyrrothostrasz! But we thought you were dead!)
"Froneel geou qe kikrema. Origato ve vur wer Munthrek ukris ekess Alexstrasza." (Everything will be explained. Let me and the Human talk to Alexstrasza.)
"Sxun ith. Si geou visp alextrasza di douta confnir."
(Yes Lord. I will tell Alexstrasza of your coming.)
The Drake flew away, and Sventar flew in after. As they passed the field, Naruto's stomach lurched as he lost all of the air in his lungs. He coughed and panted as Sventar chuckled lightly.
"I guess I should have told you to brace yourself, but I wanted to see your reaction." He said as Naruto was glaring daggers at him.
Sventar flew into the Realm and Naruto scanned the area with calculating eyes. Sventar flew North and soon entered a giant cavern. It easily fit Sventar as Naruto's eyes widened at the size of it. Red Dragons flew back and forth and all over throughout the caverns, and they all swerved their heads towards Sventar. Naruto felt a bit uncomfortable with hundreds of Dragons boring their eyes into his back, but he stood tall as Sventar calmly flied through the vast area.
Sventar turned left into a cavern that was hotter than the rest; it glowed with heat as Naruto suddenly was filled with contentment and safeness in the area. The feeling grew more and more as they got closer to the warmth, and Naruto felt what he thought was like in a mother's embrace.
A content smile went on his face as Sventar took one final turn and he saw two large Dragons, not nearly the size of Sventar, but large nonetheless. Inside was a giant Red Dragon, nearly the size of Sventar as she picked up her head to look at Naruto and Sventar.
The two smaller Dragons got into battle stances and snarled at the intruder, and Naruto put his hands on his swords and tensed. Sventar however was calm and collected in the faces of the two smaller Dragons.
"Korialstrasz, Tyranastrasz, that's enough."
The two Red Dragons looked at Alexstrasza incredulously but bowed their heads and stood down as Sventar flew in. He landed softly on the floor, careful not to shake the floor any bit in fear of hurting the eggs, and walked and stood tall in front of Alexstrasza.
"I've seen you before but I cannot remember you. Who are you?" Alexstrasza asked Sventar.
Ignoring the question, Sventar said, "It's been a while…. Alexa."
Her eyes widened to a large degree and she looked at Sventar with shock.
"G-Grandfather!"
"Yes Alexa, it's me."
She took a step forward and looked directly into his eyes, hoping to see love and happiness there.
But what she saw made her reel in shock.
All that was there was… disappointment!
"We need to talk."
"W-What about?"
"Your work as an Aspect."
"O-Okay"
"The Red Dragonflight's, more importantly the Aspect of LIFE's, job is to keep the world ALIVE right?" He asked her
"Y-Yes." She stuttered out, afraid of what needs to be said.
"Then WHY IS THIS WORLD IN CHAOS!" He yelled at her.
"U-Uhh… w-well"
"Illidan, Arthas, Kel'thuzad, The Burning Legion, Deathwing, and the Alliance and Horde War! The job of the Aspect of LIFE is to keep the World in HAPPINESS, LOVE, AND LIVING HAPPILY! These wars have hurt and killed THOUSANDS. THOUSANDS!"
"B-But-"
"Illidan was corrupted by the Well of Eternity! Something that shouldn't have existed in the first place! Now, one whole RACE is corrupted by it! The Blood Elves were created because of their addiction to the Well of Eternity, hence, Arcane Magic! Now, they hate the Night Elves with a passion since they tried to force their ways on the Blood Elf race! HATE is the opposite of LOVE. You should know that best!"
"W-Well-"
"And The Burning Legion! You and all the Dragons have done NOTHING about them. NOTHING! They have slaughtered thousands! And you sit around while people suffer for those losses! Disgraceful!"
"But I-"
"Arthas and his armies have decimated THOUSANDS of people. Even worse, he turned them into MINDLESS SLAVES! Now they live a life where they are a slave to a mad man who only wants power! He does anything and everything to get it, it's a wonder he hasn't released his army over parts of the world yet!"
"I-I know but-"
"All this and MORE are happening throughout our world! I worked my hardest to create a safe haven, a land of happiness, NIRVANA! But all that was shot to the ground when I-"
"That's enough."
The voice came out of nowhere and suddenly Sventar collapsed to the ground. A tiny figure, by Alexstrasza standards, jumped off of Sventar and landed on the ground.
"Alright Sventar I think she learned her lesson. I've got more problems than to listen to an argument that gets us nowhere." Naruto said, while only slightly noticing the shocked and grateful gaze in his direction.
Alexstrasza however was shocked that her Grandfather, stronger than her, was punched to the ground by a mere human! She looked down at him while he looked back at her without fail, despite having to crane his neck to an uncomfortable degree.
"While it's great fun to listen to arguments, I have bigger problems that include a poisoned Dragon." He stated and Alexstrasza looked down at him with confusion.
"Poisoned? Where?" She asked him.
He unsealed Bloodclaw and Alexstrasza looked down at the Drake and began her work. Bloodclaw was about to start roaring in pain, but just looking in Alexstrasza's eyes made him calm down, only whimpering from the pain.
"Type of poison?" She asked him.
"Eroding. Lots of it too. Eats at whatever it touches. It, unfortunately, happened to Bloodclaw's wings." He said back, giving his shortened assessment
She nodded at him and closed her eyes. Her body was covered with a red glow and it traveled down her body and it crept down onto Bloodclaw. Right in front of everyone's eyes, the poison evaporated very fast and the holes began closing even faster. Soon the whole wound was closed and fully healed, as Naruto gave a whistle in appreciation at Bloodclaw's now healed, and sleeping form.
Naruto gave a sigh in relief and walked over to Bloodclaw, and Alexstrasza's eyes, boring straight into his head. Sventar got up and growled at Naruto, and he just gave a lazy glance back, not at all failing under his killing intent.
"We'll continue this talk later, Alexa. For now, take care of Bloodclaw, I have to find Naruto a place to stay for a while." He said and flew away, leaving an annoyed Naruto behind him.
Naruto sat down next to Bloodclaw and started running his hand down his head, and he seemed to lean into his hand, despite being asleep. He gave a slight smile at the action as Bloodclaw did the Dragon-form of a smile in content.
Alexstrasza was then bathed in a red light as Naruto shielded his eyes from it. What came out however was not what he expected. A woman of about six feet with fiery red hair that traveled down to her shoulders and hourglass figure, and armor that showed her curves extremely well came out. She had large assets barely covered by red armor with gold trim. It cut off at her stomach, showing a small waist that traveled down to armor that was held together with nothing but a gold band that covered her womanhood, seeming that it would fall off at any second. She had arm guards that went up to her elbows, but went no further; they were red with gold trim. She had greaves that went to her knee caps, also red with gold plating at different parts. It cut off at her thigh and continued on for a bit, stopping a bit below her waist. To top it off a large, see-through red cape billowed down and flowed with each step.
Naruto fought down the blush that was dying to come out in his face and finally succeeded, only going for a raised eyebrow at her form. He inwardly chuckled at the fact that so far, all of the female Dragon's forms have been very seductive looking, though he was not sure if it was intentional or not.
Alexstrasza however was somewhat stunned that he didn't blush, further intriguing the Aspect of this enigma. She walked towards him as he turned his head away, deciding to focus on Bloodclaw instead of her form. She walked towards him and sat down next to him as he went back to petting Bloodclaw.
She frowned inwardly, unable to find out anything by his actions so far, except that he was powerful enough to down an elder Dragon, no small feat.
"Where did you find him?" She asked, trying to start up conversation.
"He was a slave to a corrupted man. His job was to fly around an island full of Naga, also his slaves, and guard it from any person who wanted to intrude. He was there to find a buried treasure, and he found it, but wasn't able to retrieve it. Bloodclaw attacked me and we tangled for a bit, until I made him submit and took off the one thing that was keeping him a slave. I honestly have no idea where, when, or how he got into that position, as there is not enough evidence to conclude anything." He ended, never taking his eyes of Bloodclaw.
Throughout all of this, Naruto had been feeling an itch in his head. It was weird, as if a bug or something kept landing on it, and every time he tried to swat it away, it flew off before he could get it. He shrugged it off for a bit until the feeling got worse.
It felt like someone was trying to fit a key into a lock but kept fiddling with it, like he's trying to open it but it wouldn't open yet. It felt like someone was… probing his mind.
His eyes immediately hardened at he sent a burst of chakra throughout his body and felt the feeling go away quickly. He heard a slight intake of breath from nearby and narrowed his eyes at the only culprit, Alexstrasza.
Alexstrasza, throughout all that, actually was probing his mind, trying to find out information about the blonde enigma in front of her. He gave no information through his stance, words, or actions, until now.
When you probe someone's mind, the target feels a small irritation in the head, no matter how hard you try to mask your presence. Once you are safely in, you can go through all of the target's memories and actions in the past, but it has a catch.
The more important the memory or actions, the more prominent the irritation is on the target. So far, she was able to only scratch the surface of Naruto's past until she was thrown back out of his mind from that burst of energy. She only saw bits and pieces of small things, nothing important about his past.
One thing is certain; Naruto built some of the strongest mental barriers in Azeroth right now. Alexstrasza prides herself as one of the best at understanding people through their actions, but Naruto has been the only one so far to hide that from her. Everything he does is done swiftly and carefully, never giving any information until it's too late.
Naruto gave one last suspicious glance in her direction and said, "You know, there are better ways to get information about a friendly target than using aggressive and hostile tactics. One of the best ways is to 'ask' about them."
She gave an embarrassed apology to him and said, "Well then Mr. Sarcasm how about you tell me a bit about yourself."
"Trade secret," He said with a smirk, "You tell me about you and Sventar and I'll give you a bit of info on me."
When Sventar came up, the mood darkened considerably and she said, "He's… my Grandfather. He was the Aspect of Life hundreds of thousands of years ago. Back then Azeroth could be called heaven on Earth. Everything and everyone was at peace, every patch of land green and everyone just plain happy.
"Then, he went out for what he said was a 'scouting mission', but many having reasons to think otherwise. At that time, he was one of the strongest Dragons throughout all of the flights, so going on a scouting mission wasn't a job of his status, but he persisted that he should go anyway."
She gave a sniffle and said, "After that, he never came back. All of the Flights searched throughout Azeroth, but we couldn't even find a single trace of him. It was as if he just disappeared." At this, Tyranastrasz bowed his head in remembrance, as he was living during Lyrrothostrasz's reign.
"He probably hates me from how bad a job I have been at protecting Azeroth…" She said as tears began to form.
Sighing inwardly Naruto wrapped an arm around her and said, "Hey, hey calm down. He doesn't hate you. He's just… stressed at the condition of the world. And yes, he overdid it a bit, but look at it from his point of view. He sees the world for the first time in hundreds of thousands of years, and what was once a Nirvana is now not even close to the world before; it's only natural that he would be a bit emotional about it." She nodded and put her head on his shoulder.
Korialstrasz picked this time to check on the condition of his consort and immediately started glaring daggers at Naruto. Tyranastrasz, seeing his fellow Red Dragon's line of eyesight looked at the scene in front of him. He wanted to be there for Alexstrasza, but he knew that right now would be a bad time to intrude; he only hoped Korialstrasz will be as logical.
Back to Naruto, he looked at her and said, "He doesn't hate you at all. Deep down he loves you, it's just the enormous amount of stress and anger at the enemies, and he needed to release it on someone else besides me.
"But, what he said was true." He started and Alexstrasza gave a worried glance in his direction, "This time, prove to him that you are the Aspect of Life, and you haven't just been sitting around watching as the World around you dies out. Bring the Flights back together and join forces to stop the threats around Azeroth. Show to him you are worthy of being Aspect and show to him that you care not only for the Flights, but the whole world why you are called the Queen of Life."
With that, Naruto brought her to her feet and Sventar took the convenient time to fly in. He landed gracefully and looked at Naruto, signaling to get on.
"I should go, since looks like Captain Protective over there," He said, signaling to Korialstrasz, "Wants me to get away from you.
Sventar looked at Alexstrasza again, but in her eyes was a new fire, a deep, burning passion to prove him wrong about all the things he said. He nodded in approval to her and leaned down, giving Naruto room to jump on and lock his feet.
He gave one last look at Alexstrasza and Naruto and flew off. Alexstrasza watched them go and thought one last thing,
'Naruto… thank you.'
Her eyes hardened and she turned back into her Dragon form.
Alexstrasza, in all of her glory, walked up to Tyranastrasz and said,
"Tyranastrasz, gather all of the Red Dragonflight together. We have to talk."
And cut!
Well, near 6,000 words, not bad.
Well, as stated in the beginning, Auberdine will be saved next chapter. Sorry to the other 10 who voted for the others, but you can't blame me for the voters choices, so don't flame me because I didn't save the other cities.
As I said many, many times, the relationships will not start right from the beginning. Alexstrasza and Naruto's relationship right now is more of a 'friend' level, not close to the 'boyfriend' level. But look at this logically; would someone like Naruto just 'love' someone right from when they meet her? No. Unlike other stories, Naruto won't just proclaim his love right from the start and live happily ever after. They have a bond like 'You lean on my shoulder, I'll lean on yours' relationship right now. So sorry to those who like the 'love at first sight' stories, but I don't believe in that. Relationships take time to develop, they don't blossom right away, they grow for a time, and then blossom into a bright flower.
Anyway thanks for reading and please review as they keep me going.
