Yes, I saw the war within cinematic, it was amazing, but I was surprised by the words Thrall said 'That sword was aiming for someone' I thought that everyone of importance knew about the Titan by now but I guess not. Kal ruined the shock of this cinematic for them lol.

She hasn't left the nest since he did, in fact, she has not left her most recent clutch since he left. For the first time in a long while, she started to doubt herself. Ever since she ascended to this higher form of life, Alexstrasza was always sure about what she did, even if she didn't like it. When she was captured by the Orcs and forced to create children so they could be made into slaves, she hated herself, the situation, all of it. But she didn't doubt it, she knew she needed to do it.

Ever since then, she has rarely left her nest, taking her time to heal from her wounds and spend time around those she loved, but she couldn't even do that. This undead plague, this Scourge has proved to be far stronger than she was comfortable with and she has lost even more of her children to them. Their numbers were growing, she knew that immediately but what she and her flight lacked in numbers, they made up for in strength. She wasn't one to fall for hubris or arrogance, but she knew her strength and the strength of her children. If they simply had more numbers, even just a few dozen more. The Red Flight would be more than capable of wiping out the bulk of the Scourges army and reducing their bodies to less than ash preventing them from coming back again.

But that wasn't possible anymore, was it? She has lost so many of her children and her kin would be unable to provide aid. Her wise brother Nozdormu was forever bound to the whims of the time streams, in a way he was more of a slave than even she was. Sometimes she pitied him for that, she knew she shouldn't, but she couldn't help it. She did not doubt that her brother had wanted to help them so many times but couldn't. His help but be appreciated but if it couldn't be done then so be it.

Her dear clutch sister Ysera, knew that her sister had her battle with the old gods. She didn't know how but those abominations had somehow managed to infiltrate the Emerald Dream itself, how such a thing was possible she didn't know. She may be the clutch sister of Ysera but she herself has only been in the great dream a handful of times. Though from what she feels when she stretches her senses, the weight on her sister's shoulders seems to have lessened recently, what that was due to she didn't know but based on the messages that have been sent between her own flight and the greens, a yet unknown third party intervened in the battle between the greens and the Nightmare. Taking out one of their most powerful foes and giving them time to form a powerful counter-offensive to take large acres of land back from the darkness. Though knowing much about war and fighting, her sister would be unable to share her forces with the rest of them as she needs to continue to push forward and then reinforce those lines so they hold.

Then there was Malygos. Once her smartest and most tactical brother, one that could always be relied upon to think of a way out of any problem. Him, she felt nothing but pity. He did everything he could for all of them when Neltharion came forward and showed them just how far he fell into the dark and madness that his masters gave him. Malygos did everything to try and stop him, to try and make him see his error and when he proved too far gone. The Aspect of Magic and his blue flight tried to hold him off, tried to take him down before too much damage was done. But the power of the Dragonsoul was just too much. The blue flight was all but annihilated, Malygos wounded in more ways than one.

With so many of his children lost, he was forced to monitor and care for the lay lines and magical energies himself while those of his children that survived did nothing but mate and try to grow their numbers. Something the others tried to help, both herself and her sister mated with blue dragons in order to ensure that strong clutches were born, but even that didn't help much in the long run. Combine all that work with the stress of losing your family, and being betrayed by the one you cared for most, his mind snapped. For ten thousand years the Aspect of magic was nothing more than a shell doing the job of an aspect.

While he has now regained his mind by the use of methods she doesn't know, he is different than he was before. Her once joyful and caring brother was cold and bitter, her cared for nothing more than the lay lines themselves and seemed to discard those of his own flight. She wanted to believe that one day he would return to the being he used to be. But for now, that looked to be a long way away.

She doubted he would be willing to lend her aid in fighting the undead. So, she was forced to make the choice, lock down the nests and prepare for attack. She would need to hold the dead back while they build up their numbers enough for them to go on the offensive and beat back those monsters.

Then he showed up, while she had heard of this alien, this Kal-El. Upon first hearing of him, she dismissed such discussion, not believing that this mortal could possess such power, while it wasn't unheard of for a mortal to be powerful, the Thunder King of Old being an example of what was described by Caelestrasz seemed too much. If it wasn't for the memory that he shared with her she wouldn't have believed it.

While she did desire to leave the nest and meet with this man, she got a measure of him with her own eyes. She stopped herself, not wanting to leave the nest without her protection. She couldn't risk it and she was glad she didn't.

It was unexpected that he would come to her, though she was grateful for it. Despite how it all went in the end, despite the argument, despite the heat behind it. Her opinion of him did not change, he seemed to be a very powerful individual, what really set him apart from the others was the passion he had to protect others. Ever since the undead first came to be, she has never seen anyone that even those Death Knights need to be saved. Everyone seemed to have given up on them, herself included she was ashamed to admit.

She felt a great deal of pity and sadness for all those who were turned into slaves, but she never gave the idea that they could be saved credit. She didn't believe it was worth the risk to her own, how could she think that? She was the life Binder, it was her job to care for and protect all life, no matter the cost. Yet these people who were diseased with undeath, she cast them aside and wrote them off as too far gone to save. How could she do that? Her large head lowered, and her eyes landed on the ground.

Perhaps she was more injured in the last war than she realized.

"Are you well my love" the voice of her prime consort spoke to her "You have not moved since Kal-El left, I am growing concerned"

Upon hearing his voice, her large body turned around to face him as he lay on his stomach, his wings providing cover for the eggs he was resting over "My love, what do you think of him? This Kal-El?" she asked moving over towards the largest clutch of eggs, she opened her mouth and breathed hot but gentle flames over the clutch, making sure they stayed warm.

Korialstraz was quiet for a moment before speaking "The power that seems to exude from him is... muted. As if his vast power is being hidden away from those who look at him, how that is done I do not know but whatever the case may be, it is strong. With the power that he holds in his body, we dragons should be able to sense him wherever he may be in this world, yet even when he was entering our nest, we did not know until he was here. Though I will not lie, I find myself moved by the passion of his words, I do not doubt that he truly does wish to save the lives of those poor mortal creatures" he started to explain.

"Should that not be our own job and duty?" she said back softly as she raised her head and looked out the entrance of the nest "We are the protectors of life, or we should be" she muttered that last part to herself. Without her even meaning to, she rose to her full height, and her wings stretched out "And we will be again "Spread the word to all of the Reds, we fly" she ordered as for the first time in a long while, she moved to leave this nest.

Her consort did not question her words, if she was looking at him, she would see a small grin come onto his face "And where do we fly to my queen?" he asked her.

She paused in her step for just a moment before answering "To war" all she said before leaving. For she did not deserve the title of Life Binder if she did not try and protect life, wherever it may be or whatever form it took.

These were the times he didn't like, he stood on the high walls looking out over the barren lands, waiting for something to happen, for an enemy to appear or a threat to make a move. Times of peace did not suit him well. Varok Saurfang was a warrior and he always will be, he felt at his most powerful and comfortable when in a warzone. It was where he knew he would be well and be the best he could be.

Not the times of peace he found himself in now. He became Supreme Commander in Silithus and he earned that because of his strength and tactical mind, when he returned with that war won. The Warchief Thrall had appointed him the title of High Overlord of the Horde, meaning when Thrall was indisposed or killed, he would take leadership of the Horde in his stead, something he was forced to do now.

He stood on the high wall of Orgrimmar and made the rounds that he always made, him being placed in charge will not change that. Thrall had left for the dark portal with a large force of their soldiers, he wanted to go himself, but Thrall decided that there could still be orcs on the other side of the portal and if that was the case, he would want to be there to try and bring that back to their new home. Which left him here to watch and secure the home front, something that proved far easier than it used to be.

He glanced to the right and he saw the reason why, the work Kal-El did here was finished and had to admit, he still found himself surprised by how much was done. The device next to him was one of four, the large disk-like structure that was called a 'Search Light' shinned brightly, giving all on the walls a great view of the barren valley in front of the gate, even now that the sun has set and they would normally see only darkness, the bright lights showed them much further than they ever could before, with four of them spread out on the wall, an enemy would have a much more difficult time sneaking up on them.

"High Overlord" a voice called to him, turning his head to see one of the city's captains coming towards him "Forgive the interruption but I have been sent to find you, your presence has been requested at the Network" he was told.

Saurfang's eyes narrowed as he heard that, that would not be good news "Lead the way" he said to the captain who quickly nodded and turned around, going the way he came with the veteran behind him. As they moved the High Overlord looked over the city proper, it had changed much since Kal-El was done with it. It was now bright with what he called streetlamps that followed all the paths and roads, inside every home was an electrical fire which he found himself saying was something he was grateful for. Now that they were no longer relying on the wood imports from Ashenvale, their relations with the Elves had improved.

Something he was grateful for, while he did desire war so he could get the death he wanted so badly. There was no honour in dying against those you should be allied with, all that was left now was to find a way to deal with the Warsong. The two reached the end of the gate and reached the large canyon wall, the stone stairs that were built into the rock were still there. There was now a platform that was connected to the wall with long mechanical mechanisms that worked like a much more efficient and faster elevator. Those that stood as guards on either side of it saluted them as they moved.

When the two started to rise into the air heading towards the top of the canyon walls. There were many different structures here, watch towers, stables and some farming fields for crops. The largest however was the vast space of land both on this side of the city and other that held a large number of metal sheets that was the reason for the city's technological advancement. The solar panels, when Kal-El first started to build them Saurfang was sceptical that they would be worth the space that was needed for them, but he is able to say when he was wrong.

It went without saying that as they walked through the fields of metal, the number of guards they had increased as well. Thrall had ordered that this place be protected, an order that most agreed with. As the two neared the control point for the panels, they also reached their target.

Next to the large metal shed that was used to monitor all the panels, built next to it and surrounded by guards was a slightly larger metal building that held a large dish on the top of it pointed upwards. The closed-door opened on their approach, and the captain stayed outside, offering a final salute to him before he went inside and the captain went back to his duties.

Saurfang didn't like being in this network control, it felt too dark and cold. So lifeless compared to everything else. It was similar in size to the War Chiefs Hall, the back wall had a single large screen in the middle of it with four smaller ones near the corners of it. In front of them, all were rows of... computers? He believed Kal called them, something that could be used to control the satellites. Everything was lit with the lights on the ceiling that were a bright white, giving off the cold feeling. He saw that out of the ten seats in front of the computers, only five of them were in use. Three of the Forsaken and two Trolls were using them "I was asked to come here" The sound of his voice got the attention of those working "What has happened?" he asked them.

"There has been a development High Overlord" the Forsaken on the right said to him. Turning to the undead, Saurfang moved over towards him.

"What is it?" he asked "The Dark portal?" he guessed.

"No" the man shook his head "Everything that we can see around the Dark Portal is normal, what's happening on the other side is unknown. There has been a development in Northrend" the man typed away on the small keyboard. Seeing the change in the corner of his eye the High Overlord eyes looked to the largest screen on the wall, it showed an image of the world when he came in and now it showed the northernmost continent "It looks like Kal-El has launched an attack on the North" he continued to explain as Saurfang watched as the map zoomed in even more to see the area known as Dragonblight "whatever force this is, they had a battle with a large force of the Scourge but beat them back"

Saurfang watched as the two forces which were shown as green dots and red ones went closer to each other before the red ones started to disappear until there were none left, though he didn't fail to notice what the man said "We don't know what this force is?" he asked him.

"No my lord" the Forsaken shook his head "Every armed force on the planet is marked with a banner of recognition. Horde, Alliance, Orcs, Humans, Dalaran mages, Cenarion Circle. Everything is identifiable, except for this force here. And we are not the only ones to notice it either" he continued to explain as he typed away again, the map zoomed out to show a large part of the ocean as well. Saurfang narrowed his eyes as he saw a grouping of ships marked as Forsaken sailing for the Northen land from the right. Looking to the left he could see a large gathering that looked to be flying that was marked as the Cenarion Circle, they were coming from the left "I thought it best that you were informed of this my lord"

"You thought right" he confirmed "How long until they reach Northrend?" he asked.

"Based on the current speeds they move, they'll land in three hours" he was told.

"Good work, keep me informed of any changes" he said before turning around and turning to leave, the guards saluting him as he did so. The plans forming in his head, he would not let the Forsaken or the druids go to war without the Horde joining in, he thinks he just found a use for the Warsong as they are yet to be able to regain their honour.

They moved slowly, the large weight on them halting their movements more than he would like. But it was worth it, this way they would never be seen coming and their sneak attack up be an ambush that might just win them this war quickly. The flowing water all around them not only kept them hidden but also provided a path that would take them exactly where they needed to go. With the sun now set, only darkness was before them, each and every one of them only illuminated by the moonlight.

Kal was leading them, his hand holding onto the trident tightly as he willed the water around them to not move against them, allowing them safer passage forward, the sand under his feet being kicked upwards with each step. Behind him, four different rows of his fighters all marched in line with each other, one not even able to hear the sounds of marching feet one would normally as it was muted due to water drowning it out. For his own troops, the armour they wore was sealed allowing for air to still be used and communication to be an option. The others that were freed recently didn't have the luxury of the armour so walking in silence was the best they could do.

Not that they needed air or anything like that. Kal himself looked up for a moment as they walked, his eyes landing on the light that was shone down by the moon. They would be walking for another hour or two before they were forced to resurface, he could listen in to what the Death Knights were all saying to each other but didn't, if they wanted to have their conversations then they could, he would give them privacy. Besides he could do with a moment to himself, lately he found himself thinking about the reason he was here.

As he looked up to the moon, he thought about the goddess behind it. He remembered what she looked like when he was brought here, she was sitting on a piece of debris from Earth's own moon looking down at him. Next thing he knows he's waking up in Teldrissel, if this being was capable of just taking him from his home whenever it wanted then why wait till then? Why not do it when he was born? Or before the war was over? Why wait for that exact moment? The questions plagued his mind more than he would like to admit. For now, though he would have to live with not knowing, he was sure that he would find the reason eventually, he just needed to deal with the other stuff first. And he was hopeful that they could get it done, he just hoped nothing too extreme got in the way of it all.

Kalecgos flew through the skies of Kalimdor with relative speed, his destination was a place he has been to many times in his long life. Though he has not seen what it looks like recently, not since its new inhabitant has arrived. Kalecgos was in a way looking forward to it, he'd heard many different things about it and was wondering if the rumours did it justice.

His destination was Mount Hyjal.

The reason he was heading towards the mountain was due to a new order that was given to him by Malygos. Of course, he was overjoyed to see that the Aspect of Magic had regained his mind, despite it all he was so glad the mantel of leadership was being lifted from his shoulders, while he wasn't outright declared the leader of the blues, he was one of the oldest and many saw him as a leader of them. Which only became more prominent as he was made ambassador of the Blues, which of course added many more responsibilities to his shoulders.

But he didn't need to worry about that now, the aspect had returned to his rightful place and the blues can now truly begin to recover from the horror of the War of Ancients inflicted upon them.

Starting with reclaiming lost relics.

It was no secret that this new inhabitant to the world, this Kal-El had recently brought down the Scourges floating fortress, Naxxramas. From there he was able to acquire an old relic of the blue flight. The focusing Iris, a very powerful artifact that was created by Malygos himself many millennia ago to aid in his work. Something the Aspect has decided to be returned to its rightful owners.

Kalecgos could agree with such a mission, it has been many years since the Blues have been so active and with the threat of the Scourge growing in power, such a relic could prove to be a great weapon to use against them.

Nearing his destination, the blue dragon's large eyes widened as he laid eyes on the mountain, more specifically what was on top of it. In all his thousand years of life, he had never seen such a sight before, the large structure seemed to be made from an almost glowing white crystal. Yet he could not sense any magic from it. Such an incredible sight, his curious mind going into overdrive as he tried to understand how it all worked.

But that could wait until later, he had a mission to complete first. He decided to not get too close to the structure as he didn't want to cause any incidents by getting too close without an invitation. He went the long way around the mountain until he was a fair distance away from the large structure, turning around in the air he started to fly towards the mountain, now approaching the side that didn't have the large alien crystal building, he felt more confident on his approach.

The activity on the mountain seemed to be similar to what it was the last time he was here all those years ago. He saw many of the Night Elves walking up and down the paths, many of them priests of their goddesses, he saw many of the druids tending to the wildlife of the area. He flew lower in the sky, at a slow and gentle speed. He didn't want anyone to fear his approach or think he was there to cause pain to others.

His dragon form was too large to land on the top of the mountain, at least it was now that this large building was here. So, he moved towards the main road that connected the top of the mountain to the large path that the mortals used to travel.

He looked down and saw that many of the Night Elves looked up and pointed at him, he wasn't alarmed, he was used to the mortals being shocked by his appearance. He and his kin amongst all the flights rarely interact with the more Populis groups of mortals, instead only revealing themselves to select groups here and there, the most well-known being the prime consort to the life binder herself, Korialstrasz. Who works closely with the mortal mages of Dalaran.

As he neared the road, he saw that many of the mortals stepped out of the way allowing him to land. Something he was grateful for, he dropped close enough to the ground and used his large wings to stop himself completely before his large legs touched the ground, it was gentler than he would have done originally but he knew it was for the best. He learnt a long time ago that the mortal races are rather fragile things and required some more tact when speaking to but that didn't make them any weaker for, he knows all too well how resourceful and skilled they can be.

Now that he was on the ground, he started to calmly walk forward towards the peak of the mountain and the gate that led to it. When he did so, his larger form started to fade away into nothingness as he took his mortal guise. None of the elves seemed too shocked by this, only a couple of eyes lingered as he took the form of human elf hybrid, a form he chose and one he agreed with. His for was a symbolic gesture of two things being brought together as one, though he was still a blue dragon so his eyes and hair were blue in colour and he was slightly taller than most.

The Night Elves soon returned to their normal duties and went about their own business. However, when he approached the gate, he spotted three guards moving forward to stop him and he slowed his approach as they did so. They stopped in front of him and he waited for them to make the first move "What is your business here blue dragon?" he was asked in a not rude voice but not welcoming either.

He gave the grouping a small bow "My name is Kalecgos, I am the ambassador to the blue dragonflight. I have been sent by the aspect of magic to meet with Kal-El" he explained to them.

The guards shared a look with each other "It's the first we've been told of this" the leader said.

"Not that he'd tell us anyway" another muttered to herself more than the others.

"I thought he left for Northrend" another added.

The leader didn't say anything though he did notice that Kalecgos eye's narrowed in confusion as he heard that Kal-El was in Northren "Either way, Kelex oversees the fortress when Kal-El isn't here" he stepped to the side and created a path for Kalecgos to move though "You'll have to speak to it instead" he told him.

Kalecgos didn't know what he meant but he was being allowed through, so he wasn't complaining. Stepping through the gate and into the peak of the mountain. The temple to Elune was the first thing to see as he walked down the path towards the pool in the middle of it all. He did like it here, it was so peaceful and relaxing, he assumed that a lot of his love for this place is attributed to the pool, which is an incredibly powerful source of magical energy that was unmatched by most.

Despite wanting to, Kalecgos couldn't bring himself to get lost in the feeling, for he was too distracted by the grandeur of the large structure. The great white crystal walls seemed to be all-encompassing the closer he got, the warmth of the temple seemed to leave him as soon as he passed it. When he started to walk around the pool and towards the main door, that was when he saw them for the first time.

While knowing very little about these machines, he knew from his talk with the green dragons that these were the reason they were able to push back the Nightmare as much as they did. Now that he saw them with his own eyes, he could understand why. They were large and bulky, their weapons looked like none he had seen before and the gold they shined with was not natural.

Looking past them, he could see inside the fortress through its open door, he could see Night Elves inside it that seemed to be looking at the decoration of the hall, not that he could blame them of course. From what little he could see from his spot, it looked beautiful.

Though before he could enjoy it, the giant-clad golden guards raised their weapons.

Four million, sixty-one thousand, seven hundred and forty-two.

That was the number of thoughts currently going through Kelex's central processing unit. Not including the quiet song, he was humming to himself as he worked. He was thinking about many different things, he was working on the calculations needed for the master's work on his experiments to continue, the scans of the Old God tissue continued and with every new piece of information found on them, he thought back to old pieces of tech and knowledge from their past that could work on dealing with them.

He was looking through every satellite at the same time, checking for any further anomalies regarding the titan. Though he was keeping an eye over the dark portal just in case something happened that they would need to prepare for.

He watched through the optical units of all the drones as they flew through the skies of the world, doing their many duties, he watched as they maintained the borders, though he did note that the troublesome orcs that were nearby seemed to have left, when cross-referencing with the satellites he saw that they went to Orgimmar and where now near the docks 'interesting' he thought to himself.

He was looking within the fortress itself, making sure the visitors that were given reign to see inside the fortress didn't try anything, he didn't believe they would, but he would not risk it.

Signal Lost

As the notification was sent his way, he immediately diverted more processing power to that area. Within the smallest fraction of a second, he knew that it was one of the mining drones within the ocean, he looked back at the transmitted footage just before the signal was lost. He saw that the same type of aquatic organism as before had now taken to ambushing the drones.

Threat detected

Now that he was focusing more on the drones in the ocean that were tasked with mining for Resources, he didn't miss this notification as soon as it was sent. Thirty different drones that were close to the ocean along the coast immediately turned from their posts, activated their weapons and dived into the water. The miners were equipped with weapons, but they wouldn't be as good as the others.

He ordered to miner in question to halt its task and eliminate the threat. Looking through the optical unit, he saw that these aquatic creatures were quick, and very humanoid in appearance except for a large tail that covered their lower bodies. Kelex hummed to himself as he saw the drones arrive and their Particle beams rip through their flesh and deal with the threat, three were killed in the first attack and he saw four others immediately turn and swim away, further down into the depths.

He marked this in his logs, the master will want to see this when he returns. For now, he made new protocols for the miners, they would now travel into the oceans with escorts. This meant they would need drones for that, the refinery immediately turned on and began to smelt the needed materials and the basic maintenance drones began to carry what needed to be carried from the refinery to the workshops.

Alert

Kelex's gaze was now moved to the front door where an anomaly was sighted, he looked through one of the many cameras and saw a human with elven features approach the door. He looked at both Sköll and Hati with apprehension but continued his approach. When the scan was complete, Kelex saw the amount of magical energy coming off this man was much more than normal and he couldn't risk the threat.

The call was made, and both of the primary protectors of the fortress immediately raised their weapons and took guarded stances "Halt" they ordered "Identify" Sköll ordered.

At the sound of their voices and stances, the man stopped speaking and slowly raised his hands. Kelex also noticed that many of the Night Elves turned to see what had happened "My name is Kalecgos" the man said "I'm the ambassador of the Blue Dragonflight, I've come to speak to the master of this place" he spoke to them.

Upon hearing his words, Kelex lowered the defences slightly. From what he has seen they have a neutral relationship with the dragons of this world, something he would like to remain the same. Upon his command both Hati and Sköll lowered their weapons and resumed their stances, Kelex teleported himself towards the entrance of the fortress and before the dragon in a more humanoid form.

The man himself seemed slightly startled by his appearance but was quick to regain his composure "Greetings, I am Kelex. I am the artificial intelligence for the house of El. I am afraid the master of the fortress is not here at this time, how may I help you?" he asked the dragon, getting closer as he talked.

Kalecgos wasn't too pleased with the news, but he didn't let it show on his face "It's a pleasure to meet you Kelex" he said with a small bow "I have been sent by Malygos, the leader of the Blue Dragonflight and the Aspect of magic. It has come to our attention that your master has recently come into possession of an artefact of our flight, the Focusing Iris, a powerful tool of the blues. We would request that it be returned to its owners so we may use it again" he spoke with a calm voice and Kelex was processing what do to.

His central processing unit was going over all the different pieces of information and looking for the best outcome. He was aware that the master wanted to study the device closer, wanted to understand how it worked and maybe work up a countermeasure to be used against it in case he had to one day. Such a thing would be impossible if he didn't have more time to study. But Kelex was aware that the master wanted to keep a peaceful relationship with everyone, and this man seemed very respectful towards them. He went over all the odds before coming to a decision "Very well" he spoke calmly, as a small flash appeared next to him and the relic in question hovered in the air beside his body.

Kalecgos's eyes widened as he saw the relic and Kelex could assume that his facial expressions meant the same in this form as it would for other humans and others of the humanoid species then he was in complete shock that it was being offered back so freely, perhaps he expected some hesitation or battering for something in return. The truth of the situation was that this was simply the best choice, it might have seemed quick to the dragon, but Kelex went over three thousand and forty-two different scenarios regarding this choice.

The relic gently floated through the air and while in shock, Kalecgos reached out and grabbed the orb without issue "I... The blue dragonflight is grateful to you and your master for keeping this safe" he said with a bowing of his head.

"Think nothing of it, it is the mission of the master that this world be protected" Kelex countered "From what we understand the blue dragonflight is an important part of this world's defence" his body lowered closer to the ground until his optical unit was at level with Kalecgos's "though I do admit that I find myself concerned regarding certain rumours about your leader 'Malygos'" he added as he moved closer "am I making a mistake returning a powerful artefact to someone who may be mentally unstable?" he asked.

There was an eighty-seven percent chance that Kalecgos would get defensive and angry but to A.I's continuing surprise. The blue dragon was quiet as he thought about the question "I do not deny that Malygos may not be the dragon he used to be" he started "I didn't know him when he was of sound mind, but what I do know is that he has regained his mind and he is slowly becoming more and more like the one I have heard legends of. Is it wise to give this to him?" he gestured to the relic he was holding delicately in his hands "I do not know" he admitted "All I know is that he has charged me with getting this relic, until such a time comes were I feel he is a threat to this world. I will do my duty and follow his orders" he said.

Kelex was quiet as he processed his words, taking note of the conviction the dragon seemed to have and his devotion to duty "I understand" Kelex said, surprising even himself with how truthful those words were "I wish you the best of luck Kalecgos, ambassador of the Blue Dragonflight. I hope that your master's mind continues to return" with that said he turned his body around and went back inside the fortress, ready to return to his duties.

She waited on her balcony overlooking the underlings as they worked, her incredible presence nearly began to distract those who served her. If she didn't order them to not be allowed to be distracted by her angelic majesty, then they would already be on their knees ready to do her every bidding. That could not be allowed to happen, this work was too important.

She watched as those whom she believed to be the smartest she had studied this unknown machinery. Her great height allowed her to watch every one of them as they slowly and carefully took apart the machine and attempted to understand how it worked. It wouldn't be quick; it would be so gradual, but she was nothing if not patient.

She would wait and if a wall was hit, she would go through it herself, she didn't doubt that it would be difficult to understand it, but she was the most intelligent there was, the only reason she wasn't there already was because it was beneath her. She would only involve herself if she felt she needed to "he is a threat" the voice seemed to echo all around her, but she knew well enough that it was only in her mind "he must be eliminated"

The voice is strong, infinitely so. It seemed to echo with the weight of eternity. All of it bearing down on her and demanding nothing but complete obedience from those who heard it. She has grown immune to such impulses over the thousands of years exposed to it "Patience" she said aloud, her voice as beautiful as the rest of her, it alone able to command all those around her as their own infatuation grew too strong "his time will come but to defeat your enemy you must know them. Not just their battle tactics but their history, philosophy, art" her voice turned to a whisper as she looked down to the machine was that acquired from the higher levels of ocean, near the coast of the surface. It seemed to be mining.

"His presence here has altered everything. All paths. All futures and all truths have changed. HE MUST BE ELIMINATED!" she did her best to hold back the wince as the pain from the voice clawed at her brain like a nail on a wall.

"Is that fear I hear in your tone?" she asked back calmly, knowing that she was too powerful and strong to be killed on a whim by her 'master' she was too useful to kill "You are a god, you need not fear one mortal. He is powerful, I will admit. But he has the same weakness that all before him had and I will use that weakness to bring you before you. It is just a matter of time" she said before turning away from the balcony and back into the corridor.

Her large form took up most of the corridor as she moved, all servants who got in her way were quick to move to the side and kneel before her might. She moved through her palace until she reached her destination, the large balcony at its very peak where she could look at her kingdom. Nazjatar was just as beautiful as ever.

This Kal-El was an unexpected development, and she would admit, she found herself incredibly curious about such a man. Her scrying and astral projection has shown her much about him, even showing her the inside of his fortress. While an incredible sight and no doubt showed her many incredible things but even, she couldn't understand much of what she saw for none of it was magical. But no matter, she would understand it in time.

For now, Queen Azshara simply enjoyed the moment for herself. Thinking of that all tune of hers "hhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm hhhhhhhmmmmm" she hummed it to herself.

Yeah, all the humming makes sense now doesn't it? Yes, every time Kal heard that, Azshara was watching him. No, I don't think it was too farfetched, she is arguably the most powerful mage in the planet's history, and the only reason the war of the ancients was won was because she saw getting involved as beneath her. Believe me, I've read all the books about that war (they're great by the way) if Azshara fought with the demons, the good guys lose.

Anyway, let me know what you all think in the reviews down below and I'll see you in the next chapter.
