Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 324, Section 14: The Temptation of Going Home - How to Train Your Dragon, Aegwynn
"bang"

The out-of-control Ysera struggled, but the giant of light still grabbed her by the neck and slammed her to the ground.

The Dragon King's struggles caused the surrounding earth to crack continuously, and the shaking forest represented the unparalleled power possessed by this creature.

But this was not to harm it; it was simply that Diakum wanted to control it in this way to prevent Ysera from losing control again and harming the fragile mortals on the battlefield. Although the power of the dream was taken away, the destructive power of the Green Dragon Queen after her reversion was not reduced much. On the contrary, because she returned to the form shaped by the Azerothian star soul, her brute force and physique became even more robust.

She only took away the dream powers granted by the Titans; it doesn't mean that Ysera's tens of thousands of years of "cultivation" have also been lost.

The result of a chaotic being of dragon-king level going berserk here could very well be the destruction of the entire Elwynn Forest today. Moreover, the void power within Ysera has already formed a seed of corruption, and Diakum must purify it before the Sleeper's mind is further damaged.

"Be good!"

Diakum roared, and in his Radiant Holy Spirit form, he summoned the Holy Light to merge into Ysera's powerful body, banishing the shadows that were growing beneath every inch of her flesh.

He knew who was behind it all, but the cunning Xalatas turned the tables and ran away when Ysera was on the defensive.

That guy wouldn't confront his "colleagues" head-on in this situation.

Because there is no chance of winning.

"Ow"

The scalding heat from the Holy Light enveloped Ysera, who was in a daze, was in excruciating pain. Her memories had been shattered by Xal'atath's interference, making her appear irrational, like a mad dragon.

"Don't go there!"

Teregosa, suspended in mid-air, blocked Mylinsera's attempt to descend, warning her:
"Your mother won't remember you right now. Look at her terrifying dragon mouth and horrible strength. One wrong move and you'll be bitten to death!"

"But that's my mother!"

Mylinsera broke free from her blue dragon friends' obstruction and flew towards the ground, her body crackling with lightning.

Despite the dramatic changes in her mother's appearance and the chaotic period she was going through after being tormented by fel energy and the void, Mylinsera was not afraid. She had to comfort her mother, otherwise, if she continued to struggle like this, it might lead to even more disastrous consequences.

She witnessed her father being punished and thrown into the Sea of ​​No Light, and she could not allow her mother to fall into the same desperate situation.

"Mother! Wake up! It's me."

The green dragon princess landed near Ysera and called out to her, but as she approached, she was nearly torn apart by the ferocious giant claws. Ysera's huge eyes stared at her, but there was only chaos and pain in those pupils, no longer the tenderness that Myrinsera was familiar with.

"You'd better not go and interfere with the guard's treatment."

Aegwynn landed beside Mylinsera, and the Star Soul Spokesperson whispered:

"The Void Seed within your mother is growing. Her current chaos is due to the torment of the Sea of ​​No Light. The Vigilant must purify her before he can bring your mother back to the Star Soul Lord's side."

This means he did something that harmed the interests of the Sea of ​​Darkness.
For the Force's chosen ones, this was a terrible choice! Diakum would lose far more than you can imagine, but he did it anyway.

Perhaps it's because he feels guilty towards your mother.

"Tch, the moral constraints of the Holy Light."

"The Dragon Kings are here."

Teregosa, enveloped in a chilling aura, landed beside the two, and said somewhat timidly:
"The Weaver is coming. I can feel the rhythm of the magic web. Should we hide?"

"At this point, where are you still planning to hide?"

Aegwynn glared at the coward.

she says:

"Ysera's return to the embrace of her Star-Soul Mother will be a turning point in the history of the Guardian Dragons. From now on, the World Guardians will become an undeniable force in this world, and you are the first members."

Whether you like it or not, you are all here today as children of the Star Soul to witness this moment.

Besides, what are you afraid of?

Aegwynn glanced at the dragon soul she held in her hand and said with a cold smile:
"Does the Spellweaver dare to rush up and beat you up? If it weren't for the Vigilant and I having a whole plan, I would be here today to remove all the shackles that the Titans have placed on the dragons for Mother Star Soul!"

"Can't!"

Teregosa shook her head and said:
"The demons are still invading the world. If you take away the power at this time, won't you be forcing the dragons to their deaths? Mother Star Soul is very weak. She can't possibly impart power to several dragon kings at once."

"This needs to be done step by step. Okay, I understand what you mean, ma'am. I won't run away from it anymore."

“You better not! I’m not like Diakum who ‘spoils’ you little female dragons. Mother World is waiting to see how you perform.”

Aegwynn snorted.

She glanced at the dragon portal opening in the sky, then tossed Aluneth, who was yelling "You stupid blue dragon, come and fight me one-on-one!", next to the Giant of Light and Ysera, who was receiving treatment.

The noisy Guardian's Staff took root on the ground, using its immense arcane power to create a temporary barrier, ensuring that the purification healing would not be disturbed.

The Spellweaver was the first to rush out of the giant portal.

This magical guardian dragon has a rather fantastical appearance, with its thin wings connecting to its elegant and noble body. Its crystallized dragon claws and horns, as well as the natural magical patterns on its body, all symbolize its extraordinary power.

The blue dragons certainly looked good, and like the magic they wielded, they were full of mystery.

However, this "good appearance" comes at a price. Blue dragons have the worst melee combat ability of all dragons, and their fragile dragon wings, which are too beautiful and have lost too much practical value, are their terrible weaknesses.

The Red Dragon Queen, who appeared right after the Blue Dragon, resembled a ball of crimson flame.

She didn't have any crystallized organs, but this dragon king was visibly "beautiful".

Her enormous dragon horns and scales are adorned with beautiful gold rings, and she has a pendant made of the world's largest ruby ​​below her neck, as well as the same decorations on her body and tail.

Generally speaking, dragons don't add so many decorations to themselves in dragon form, as it would make them feel very uncomfortable. After all, except for "special cases" like Deathwing, most dragons don't wear armor in dragon form; their scales are their skin.

The Red Dragon Queen's elaborate adornments only prove that, regardless of the world or race, females are willing to suffer a lot for the sake of "beauty."

Furthermore, there have been rumors that the Red Dragon Queen in human form is the most beautiful woman in all of Azeroth, and the second most beautiful is her sister, the Green Dragon Queen Ysera.

A spellcaster like Aegwynn would certainly not believe such rumors, but to be honest, Aegwynn did think that Alexstrasza's human form could be ranked among the "Top Ten Beauties of Azeroth," and even get a relatively high ranking.

Unfortunately, the erotic "last night in Goldshire" scenario that mortals imagine is unlikely to come to pass.

The red dragon is a conservative dragon.

Although the Red Dragon Queen has many mates, she would never have any romantic relationships with outsiders; that's something only the Blue Dragons, those "extraterrestrial" types, would do.

In this respect, the Green Dragon Queen's style was much more "bold".

Every gust of trouble in the Emerald Dream carries with it lewd stories of Ysera and some lucky druid getting intimate. Most of these are the druids' pathetic fantasies, but Ysera, the Dragon Queen, is indeed a bit "strange" when it comes to matters of the heart. For example, her adoption of Cenarius as her adopted son has been interpreted as Ysera having a "secret love" for the great white stag Malorne.

Moreover, the Green Dragon Queen has never come forward to clarify this rumor!

She even allowed the druids, who loved to stir up trouble, to spread her steamy stories in private.

Of course, these words could not be said in front of the Green Dragonflight, especially by Mylinsera.

She knew that her mother was also very conservative in matters of the heart, having only had two or three spouses, which was far less than her aunt's vast harem.

At this moment, the two guardian dragon kings arrived in a hurry and did not summon their respective legions, probably because they were afraid that the dragon soul would suddenly unleash its power and cause a total annihilation.

The dragon kings could barely hold their own against the dragon soul, but the other dragons were no match for them.

As soon as they appeared, they saw their sister had fallen into a pitiful atavism, trapped in the most primitive form of the proto-dragon, and was being "tortured" by a ferocious "giant of light" pressing her to the ground.

This scene enraged the Red Dragon Queen.

Alexstrasza's true love wasn't her spouses; her only true love was her own sister. With a roar, she lunged forward to stop the Giant of Light from continuing his "abuse," but halfway there, Malygos swiftly used a time reversal to pull her back to her previous position.

If it had been just one step off, the Red Dragon Queen would have been captured by the beam of the Dragon Soul.

The two dragon kings looked at Aegwynn.

The Star Soul Spokesperson fearlessly tossed the golden disc in his hand, his threat evident in his words.

"Don't go there!"

she says:

"That's healing Ysera! You won't find another Holy Spirit in this world who can heal the Voidseed. If you don't want to see Deathwing's tragedy repeated today, then you two better behave yourselves!"

“Yes, Aunt, the Vigilant is healing Mother.” Mylinsera called out, drawing the attention of the Red Dragon Queen. Her unique “new form” surprised the Dragon Aspect, but the deeper changes in the five female dragons provoked Malygos’s roar:

"Your Guardian powers have been stolen by the Dragon Soul? But why can you still wield the power of the Dragon Aspects? Teregosa! What happened? Why are you associating with Deathwing's wicked daughter?"
Explain yourself clearly!

"us."

Somewhat apprehensive of the Spellweaver, Tyreggosa glanced at her sisters beside her. Onyxia patted her on the shoulder, her eager-to-challenge stance making the Blue Dragon King itch with envy.

"We have returned to the embrace of Mother World, Weavers, we are no longer deceived by the lies of the Titans!"

Teregosa replied:
"I have already given Tyr's Platinum Disc to Little Star. She will take it back to the Nexus. When that happens, please take a good look at what your former friend has done."

This is a choice!

The choice has been placed in your hands by Mother World. Star Soul Lord awaits your response. Weaver, I... I hope you can consider this matter rationally and make the right decision, as it will directly affect the future of the Guardian Dragons.

"What stupid thing are you talking about?"

The Spellweaver realized that things were going beyond its expectations. It landed on the ground, transformed into human form, and, leaning on its staff, said to Teregosa:

“Come back to the Nexus with me first, child. I promise I will listen carefully to your experiences during this time before making a judgment.”

"No need."

Chromie shook his staff and shouted:
“You must see the truth with your own eyes. You will not believe everything we relay. Now is not a good time to talk. Besides, His Majesty Nozdormu may arrive at this timeline soon.”

You can ask it yourself then; His Majesty Nozdormu knows the whole truth.

Therefore, it chooses to exile itself into the network of time amidst suffering.

Hearing even the Bronze Dragon say this, Malygos's doubt turned into caution. The Red Dragon Queen landed on the ground and transformed into human form, her long, fiery red hair swaying. Ignoring Aegwynn's warning, she strode toward the barrier erected by Aluneth, but did not destroy it. Instead, she reached out and placed her hand on the magically surging barrier, looking at Ysera with a sorrowful gaze.

The Green Dragon Queen's chaotic form gradually faded as the Void Seed purified and eliminated her.

Her memories were still chaotic, but she no longer resisted the healing of the Holy Light. Moreover, she noticed Alexstrasza and Mylinsera, and the occasional hint of closeness that appeared in her chaotic eyes almost brought the two dragon mothers to tears.

Even though Ysera's memories were disrupted by the Void Thieves, she still remembered the presence of her loved ones.

"My poor sister, why must fate make you suffer such pain?"

The Red Dragon Queen sighed in despair.

Then, thinking back to how if it weren't for these brave young dragons saving him at the Crimson Sanctuary, he would probably be suffering the same terrible torment as his sister.

The hatred for the Dragon Soul made the Red Dragon Queen turn around at this moment. She glared at Aegwynn and the Dragon Soul in her hand, and said:
"Destroy that evil artifact, mage!"

"why?"

Aegwynn asked a question, then added:
"Why?
Isn't this a dangerous thing that you dragons created yourselves?

Deathwing used it to nearly wipe out the Blue Dragonflight, and it was later sealed away by you Red Dragons, but it ended up in the hands of the Greenskinned Orcs.

If you really care about this thing, Alexstrasza, you should be more careful to preserve it instead of just burying it somewhere and leaving it unattended.

"Don't worry, I'm not a madman like Deathwing. I won't use it to do anything bad. Besides, before Mother World accepts her rebellious son home, you all need to suffer a little to express your repentance."

At this point, the Star Soul Guardian let out a strange laugh, tossing the dragon soul in her hand up and down, and said:
"You! Malygos and Nozdormu, the three of you will one day suffer the lash of the Dragon Soul and beg for forgiveness before the World Mother. And then, I will be your punisher."

Don't worry, beautiful and arrogant queen.

Because of your outrageous remarks today, I will be even harsher in punishing you.

"you!"

Alexstrasza was enraged.

Her armor and fists were wreathed in flames of life, but Aegwynn was fearless; even the Heart of Azeroth hanging on her chest glowed with a blue, silken light.

Xinghun's mother remained silent, only focusing on "energizing" her representative so that it would be easier for her to discipline her rebellious son.

As the atmosphere grew tense and the Red Dragon Queen's aura intensified, Onyxia was the first to step forward, ready to unleash her full power. She was eager to see if her "hidden form" could turn the tables on the Red Dragon Queen.

Unfortunately, just as the girls were on the verge of conflict, the vigilant's healing was finally completed.

As the Giant of Light released his hands and returned to human form, Ysera, who was lying there receiving purification, let out a joyful cry. Very weak, she could feel that the Void Seed hidden in her flesh and blood had been completely removed.

No more annoying whispers, no more mental anguish.

The recovered queen excitedly flapped her enormous wings, letting her roars echo through the forest. Elunes removed the barrier, allowing Mylinsera to rush in and embrace her mother's huge, ferocious head. At that moment, Ysera gently wrapped her daughter's wings, which could rip off lightforged armor.

To be honest, she didn't know who was in front of her, but she could feel the closeness of their blood ties.

"younger sister!"

The Red Dragon Queen also stepped forward to touch Ysera, but was blocked by Ashbringer Shattered Reckoning, which was swung by Diakum.

The half-giant vigilante looked at her, shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Since we're not on the same path, it's best to be cautious about getting to know each other."

“Ms. Isela, come on, now that you’re recovered, it’s time to go home. Your mother is waiting for you.”

Aegwynn raised the Heart of Azeroth, letting its gentle blue light emanate and wrap around Ysera's massive body like ribbons.

A sense of closeness and gentle power descended upon her like stardust, making Ysera feel warm and called. She took a few steps forward amidst the earth-shaking tremors, her beautiful eyes fixed on the golden pendant. Finally, at Aegwynn's signal, the massive proto-dragon moved its head up and down.

She is willing to go back.

"younger sister!"

The Red Dragon Queen's heart was breaking.

Alexstrasza cried out in anguish, reaching out to Ithera and saying:
"Come home with me."

Aegwynn climbed onto Ysera's broad back, and amidst the five female dragons transforming into their dragon forms as her protectors, the Star Soul Spokesperson whispered:

“You are lost, but Lady Isera is already in her home. A warm home always opens its doors to wanderers, provided you are willing to return.”

Let's go, don't keep our lonely old mother waiting too long.

Ysera spread her enormous wings and took flight on the wind.

As the dreamlike winds swept through Elwynn Forest, the Green Dragon Queen soared into the sky, but she did not leave. Instead, she turned back and let out a low hiss at the Red Dragon Queen, who was shedding tears on the ground, as if bidding farewell to a loved one before embarking on a long journey.

It is filled with the tenderness of the past.

Ms. Egwin did not stop the farewell; she may have seemed domineering, but she was actually a good person.

“Diacomb, the Star Soul Lord has seen your creation of dragons, and He wants to obtain the knowledge about dragons in your mind.”

The messenger, holding the Heart of Azeroth, whispered to Diakum:
"Although He resisted the Titans' discipline, He believed that the new image the Titans designed for the guardian dragons was indeed more 'respectable' than the progenitor dragons. Therefore, the World Mother intended to return the power of 'free evolution' to Her children, starting with Ysera."

Once she returns home, she can choose a new form with the help of Star Soul.

"I'd be happy to help."

Leaning on the Shattered Blade of Reckoning, Diakum, through the Heart of Azeroth ring in his hand, recounted all the information he remembered about the ancient dragons and dragonkin. He said:
“I don’t want to be the dragons’ ‘Tony’ anymore. It’s all the better that Mother World is willing to take on this responsibility. Once she’s sober, Aegwynn, please apologize to Lady Ysera for me. Whatever the reason, I was involved in her tragedy.”

"You have already paid a heavy price to prevent the Void from touching her."

Aegwynn sighed and said:

"The Sea of ​​No Light is punishing you, isn't it?"

"It's alright, it's just a reprimand, a lesson that those who walk the dark path but have light in their eyes deserve. Go, take her home, don't let her spend another night in fear outside."

As the watchful eyes of the vigilant, one after another, green dragons, stripped of their dream powers, rose from all corners of Stormwind Kingdom, following their queen into the clouds. Bathed in the warm beams of light, they hissed as they flew toward the embrace of Mother World.

Like a swallow flying south.

This scene drew the attention of everyone on the battlefield, as if it were a myth.
