Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 566, Section 27. The clueless, unhappy, ice-cold, violent woman... quack, her transformation into a giant dragon is truly astonishing!
"So, the Red Dragon Queen and the Iceheart Dragon are actually the legendary 'best friends,' right?"

Outside the Temple of the Heart, Little Star squeezed into the crowd, watching the Red Dragon Queen and Viranoz walk hand in hand into the temple. She humbly asked Matigosa beside her:

"I thought only we blue dragon sisters would do this occasionally, I didn't expect the red dragon to do it too?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, silly child?"

Malygos quickly covered Little Star's loose tongue, as it concerned the reputation of the Blue Dragonflight; it would be disastrous if someone overheard.

Although the Blue Dragon Legion had long since lost its reputation, she still earnestly explained to Little Star:
"It's normal for sisters and best friends to hold hands, and it's also normal to sleep together occasionally. Even kissing and soaking in hot springs together are all expressions of sisterhood."

I think the past of the Red Dragon Queen and the Ice Dragon fits this definition very well. You see, there's betrayal and dueling, two people who clearly care about each other are fighting on opposite sides, and there are classic elements like breaking oaths.

This could definitely be called 'sadomasochism'.

Ah, this couple is so adorable!

"Hey, don't lie to me, I'm young! Real sisterhood doesn't go like this!"

Little Star, with his eyes squinted and feet bouncing, said:

“They’re clearly best friends, just like Yrel and her sister Samara. That guy seems a bit strange in that respect, but Yrel doesn’t dislike men. She even told me that the little prophet in Southshore arranged a marriage for her.”

"Alas, that's why you don't understand. You're not old enough to comprehend such beautiful feelings yet. Well, the Red Dragon Queen eventually saw the error of her ways and was willing to give up her immense power to melt the frozen hearts of her sisters."

"Ah, I need to quickly find a few mediocre writers in Dalaran to polish this up properly and print a thousand or eight hundred copies to distribute all over the world."

Beside Matogosa, Tyreggosa was also acting coy, clutching a handkerchief and wiping away tears while excitedly saying:
"Such a beautiful love story between dragons should be shared by 'fangirls' all over the world."

"Hey, great idea, let's do it together."

Mattigosa immediately became interested.

But while the two blue dragon "masters of gossip" were chattering away, the still innocent Little Star couldn't help but scratch his head and ask again:
"But the Red Dragon Queen has a huge harem, and she's had countless children. Can that be called 'pure love'?"

"Oh dear, children speak without thinking."

Teregosa glared at her and explained very seriously:
"'Pure love' is just a feeling. Don't define such a beautiful thing so rigidly. Um, you're moving so fast. Hurry back to Dragon Islands and see if the Vigilant has regained the light."

"How long would it take me to fly there? Can't you just open a portal?"

Little Star, hands on her hips, said with great dissatisfaction:

"You guys just find me annoying! You want to get rid of me so you can continue discussing your rather perverted sisterly love, right? Fine, fine, now I finally know why there are fewer people in our Blue Dragon Clan. It turns out the root of the problem lies with you guys!"
I will sue you all to the Frostbinder Queen!

Instead of thinking about marriage and having children, she spends all her time thinking about these strange things.

After saying that, Little Star made a face and disappeared into the crowd in a flash. But the two blue dragon girls weren't afraid at all. They even gathered more female blue dragons and chattered away, sharing this adorable story and turning the once peaceful Chamber of Hearts into a chaotic mess.

Stellagos quickly found Sindragosa the Frostbinder in the Star Soul Chamber, who was preparing to meet the World Soul.

She had barely begun her vivid report when she was startled to discover that her queen was also wiping away tears with a handkerchief. Little Star exclaimed in surprise:

"Who bullied you? Who dares to do such a bad thing in front of Mother Star Soul!"

"That's not true."

Sindragosa gently patted Little Star's head, then glanced at the portal ahead. A knowing smile, the kind that sent shivers down Little Star's spine, appeared on her face as she whispered:
"Ah, how wonderful! I have witnessed the revival of Alexstrasza and Velanos's broken relationship. What a beautiful sisterly bond!"

It's like feeling the warmth of the sun in a cold grave, and making dead trees bloom with new flowers.

so good.

I've never experienced such a beautiful sisterhood in my life. Maybe it's because I got married too young?

"It's over!"

Little Star covered her face and sat down in despair.

So that's why the Blue Dragon Legion is short-handed!

Weaver, your wife has become a fanatic! Aren't you going to do anything about it?
But in fact, Little Star did misunderstand the relationship between Alexstrasza and Velanos, which is normal. She is just a young dragon less than 500 years old and does not know about the grudges and affections that happened more than 20,000 years ago.

Willanos once had a spouse, but unfortunately, he died in the disaster caused by Galakrond.

She was older than Alexstrasza, but they had become good friends when the Red Dragon Queen was still a young man.

In those ancient times, many dragons saw the Red Dragon Queen and Velanoz soaring together, hunting together, and sharing together. They would often hide on the hills outside the Dragon City and chat for an entire day.

The Iceheart Dragon has always been a solitary but powerful being, and only Alexstrasza can enter her heart. One is as cold as ice, and the other is as passionate as fire; they are simply perfect companions.

Unfortunately, fate is not one to be happy, and a series of unfortunate events led to their separation, even bringing them to the brink of a duel to decide their fate.

For the old dragons who had experienced the War of the Scaled Ones, although they loathed the uncontrollable nature of becoming dragons, some dragons who knew the inside story of Velanoz and the Red Dragon Queen lamented their fate.

Not only did Velanos lose his friendships, but the Red Dragon Queen also remained depressed after that victory.

Now we can see signs of their broken friendship being reconciled, and everyone is happy for them. Dragons can be a bit petty when they treat other races, but they are great to their own kind.

Moreover, in this world where mothers are calling, the repair of the relationship between the two "queens" affects far more than just the two of them.

Just as Sindragosa was shedding tears for this beautiful friendship, the Spellweaver also came over.

The Frostbinder stepped forward and asked:

You want one too.

“Yes, Alexstrasza is our queen. If she has made up her mind, then we have nothing to hesitate about.”

Malygos said in a resigned tone:
"In the end, I haven't been very happy during these years as the Guardian of the World and acting on behalf of the Titan Order. As for Tyr, we will reforge him; this is the final testament to our friendship with him."

Perhaps after that, they would become strangers.

Little Star, go and invite your grandpa over.

Your grandfather is very old and his health has been poor for years. Perhaps giving up the power of the Titans and embracing Mother World will make him healthier.

The Blue Dragonflight needs it to continue fulfilling its duties until the next Spellweaver is chosen.

"what?"

Little Star widened its eyes and said:

Are you going to abdicate?

"not now."

The Blue Dragon King shook his head and said:
“Young people are not yet ready to take on heavy responsibilities, but I will not stay for too long either.”

It took its wife's hand, exchanged a smile with Sindragosa, and sighed:
"I sometimes think about living an easy life, like I used to organize books in the Azure Archives, teach young dragons at the Egesia Academy, and occasionally take care of the tombs of my fellow countrymen at the Mist Veil Ossuary."

The world has entered a new era, and we old folks should be more sensible and give the younger generation opportunities. If we continue to cling to power, we'll inevitably cause some unsavory trouble.

Star Soul Land, in front of the control panel.

This was Alexstrasza's first time here. Although she had heard Ysera describe the immense power of the Star-Soul Mother many times before, she still felt a deep sense of awe when she saw the light of the primordial blue power of creation wrapped in silk.

But Wilanos was concerned with something else.

She scolded:

"How could there be Titan lackeys in the sacred grounds of Mother World? Lysages, you should execute them!"

"Calm down, Willanos, these are friends."

With a calm expression, Lysages pressed down on the Iceheart Dragon's cold claws and explained in a low voice the origins of the four Titan Guardians in the secret chamber.

Azadas and Elonaya need no further explanation; they are true "ascetics" who came to the secret temple to atone for their sins.

Leiden needs no further explanation.

Although this guy hadn't made up his mind, he longed to save his people from the evil corruption of the Old Gods. But besides the three of them, there was also a tall guardian wielding a thunder hammer and wearing a hunting cloak.

"That's Thorim, the Stormguard of Ulduar."

Lysajers said with a look of disdain:
"When I went to Northrend to gather my fellow proto-dragons, I unexpectedly found this weak fool in Storm Peaks. He had been deceived by his cunning companion Loken and was in a state of emotional anguish and depression."

Leiden woke him up and brought him here.

They have been preparing for the liberation of Ulduar, and we will accompany them, because that Titan city is the largest node in the unified field of all things that binds Mother World. Only by taking it can Mother World recover from its weakness more quickly.

By the way, this guy has been living with Villanus all these years. Do you remember Villanus?

"Of course, those were baby dragons that hatched in my nest."

Wiranoz gave a cold smile and said:
"It's brave and intelligent. Before I went to that final battle, I entrusted it to my winged captain. How is it?" "It became the Dragon Mother of Storm Peaks, and the Dragon Mother of most of the proto-dragons in Northrend. It's very majestic and powerful, but it's a disgrace that it became Thorim's mount!"

Lysajers snapped, but then sighed and said:
"But that's not Vilanus's fault. She had to do it to protect her dragons and children. The proto-dragons were enslaved by the Vrykul, and now the undead are causing trouble in the North."

"Wellanoz, you face many challenges if you want to restore your people."

"What undead, what monsters, just burn them all down!"

Philek's wild voice rang out from the side, causing Alexstrasza to turn her head to look at the fire dragon lying under the control panel, which was staring at her with a defiant gaze.

The Red Dragon Queen twitched her lips and leaned down to say:
"Long time no see, cousin."

"No, no, no, I don't have a 'powerful' cousin like you who almost wiped out my compatriots. I, a wild dragon from the countryside, am not worthy of the greetings of the noble queen."

Philek, that "brainless" fellow, was quite adept at spouting strange tales. He sarcastically remarked:
"I told you and Ysera long ago that the Titans are no good, but you just wouldn't listen!"

"That's enough, cousin."

Ysera, who was healing the silent stone-scaled dragon nearby, couldn't stand it any longer and scolded:

"We made mistakes back then, but that doesn't mean you were right! You and Lysages are both unwilling to admit that the four of you are unique warriors created by Mother World using her elemental powers."

You have also tried to manipulate the elements to create more avatars of dragons, but what were the results?

That's a power that no ordinary person can control.

Now please shut up. I have come here today to return to Mother Earth's embrace, which is of great importance to the guardian dragon and the entire world.

We can discuss your issues later.

"Oh, you've grown wings, haven't you?"

Philec bared his teeth and taunted:

“You wouldn’t have dared to talk to me like that back then! You’re the weakest of our bloodline, Ysera.”

"Alright, Philec, don't mess with her."

Lysages stepped forward and swung the chains of storm, binding the battered but spirited Philec. She whispered:
"Even if you can beat Ysera, don't provoke her. Ysera has her 'protector' hidden in her shadow. I have to be honest, that guy is the second 'dragon' that, besides Galakrond, makes me feel fear."

In short, just don't provoke them, for your own safety.

"Once you recover, obediently go to the Fire Realm to take over, become the Flame Lord of Mother World. I also need you to lead the fire elementals to fight alongside me into the Sky Wall and seize the throne of the Wind God."

"Elemental Monarch."

Philek fell silent.

Although it is one of the combinations of "brainless, grumpy, icy, and violent", it is not really brainless.

However, its fiery nature makes it only want to burn unrestrainedly. Once it enters the Realm of Fire and seizes the Creation Fire Sulfuras, its "symptoms" will definitely improve a lot.

But it wasn't so easy to make the fearless Philek bow down so easily. It glanced at the magnificent light in the sky and worried about what would happen if it were the next Titan.
"Listen to her."

Ilyudicon, who was resting curled up in the corner, spoke:

"Stop having any other thoughts, Philek. Mother World shaped us, and we should obey her will. Mother just promised that she would not impose her will on the evolution of the Proto-Dragon."

"But why do we have to evolve?"

Philec, with his neck stiff, said:
“I think it was fine as it was. I know that the world is full of weak life forms now, and the Loa outside are still talking about how the era of becoming dragons is over.”

What nonsense!

We are the eldest sons of Mother World, and we rightfully have the right to rule. This world belongs to the Proto-Dragon!

"Ugh"

Ilyudicon sighed, his heavy stone-scaled tail patting the ground, and said to Lysages, who was also sighing:
“Find that vigilante and give this brainless guy your ‘repentance package.’ If he doesn’t correct this, he’ll cause trouble sooner or later.”

"Damn it! Ilyudicon, whose side are you on?"

Philek spewed flames and roared:
"We are on the same side!"

“I am not on the same side as you, Philek. Your brain, burned by fire, cannot comprehend what I want to do! Even in the War of the Scaled Ones, you were only indulging your warlike nature.”

Do you really think you're fighting for the benefit of the Proto-Dragon?
Do you even have the brains for that?

The stone-scaled dragon whispered:
"But that Watcher can understand me. I advise you to behave yourself from now on. The Son of Loa is right, our era has long since ended. You either find your place in the new era, or you'll be buried with the old times."

But I'm no longer planning to play these 'playing house' games with you guys."

"What kind of spell did that guy cast on you?"

Phileco was still complaining, but Ilyudicon had already ignored this idiot.

The "invitation" that Diakum had sent earlier was still echoing in its mind, and it was planning to find a time to have a good talk with the Watcher, since it and Diakum were "the same kind of people".

Yes, in that terrifying darkness, it keenly sensed the presence of the "enemy of the Titans".

Finally, it found its perfect ally.

On the other side, the Red Dragon Queen stepped into the light of Mother World. Just as Alexstrasza was about to embrace the light, Vilanoz, who had been coldly indifferent, stepped forward and pulled her back.

The Iceheart Dragon solemnly said to the Red Dragon Queen:
"Don't make this decision just to please me! You've already fallen into the Titans' trap because of your gullibility. You should be more rational about things that will determine your fate."

"So, you still care about me, right?"

A smile appeared on the Red Dragon Queen's beautiful face. She reached out and touched Velanoz's cold, icy cheek, and whispered:
"Don't worry, this isn't just for you."

I have thought about this for a long time, and I have learned the heartbreaking truth: we have been lost in the illusion of order for too long, so long that we have forgotten our original selves and mistaken the desires of others for our own ideals.

do you remember?

We discussed the future of dragons while flying together, and we both agreed that dragons should have their own civilization. Now, I can finally shed the responsibilities imposed upon me by others and truly dedicate my strength to the future of dragons.

"What about this world?"

Velanos grasped Alexis's fingers and said very seriously:
"You once swore to protect this world. I know that although it was the Titans' temptation, it was also your desire. You have hated chaos and longed to maintain peace since you were young. Are you going to give up this desire?"

"The world is too big. Perhaps I should be more pragmatic. I should contribute to my people first before thinking about the world."

The Red Dragon Queen said with a smile:
"Moreover, the world is now so prosperous that there are no longer only dragons here. There are many people who are willing to fight for the will of the world. The era of the guardians has truly come to an end."

She embraced the light of creation and was drawn into the air, but in the next instant, amidst Viranoz's exclamation, she was also pulled by the power of the world and suspended in the air along with the Red Dragon Queen.

How many years has it been since Supreme Star Soul has witnessed such a touching and pure friendship?

How could you possibly run away like that?
Mediation is the responsibility of this "mother" – so let's get this pure love story flowing freely!

As the power of creation flowed, World Mother opened the mental boundaries between the Red Dragon and the Ice Dragon, mimicking the workings of the power of the heart, allowing the two to fully sense each other's hearts.

Vilanoz was avoiding this openness of the heart, but Alexstrasza took her hand. Knowing that Mother World was helping, she smiled and let her thoughts flow freely.

Iceheart Dragon was also semi-forcibly drawn into this spiritual exchange, and she quickly became immersed in those feelings of apology and longing.

There are many lonely souls in this world who dare not take the first step, but there are always passionate spirits that can melt the ice.

The Titan powers belonging to the Red Dragon Queen were gradually extracted, and the World Mother generously bestowed the concept of life of Azeroth upon the Red Dragon Queen, granting her true power belonging to this world.

The Titan power, enveloped within, fell into Aegwynn's hands.

This thing can be given to Diakum; his Shadow Chaser swarm will definitely love collecting this junk.

At the edge of the Star Soul Temple, Nozdormu stood alone in the shadows, watching the scene unfold with a maternal smile.

Its hand rested on the hourglass on its shoulder, a manifestation of the Titan's power of time. Finally, with a gentle tap, the endless hourglass bestowed by the Titan quietly shattered.

As the sands of time slipped through his fingers, Nozdormu felt the Time Network drifting away from him.

But it does not suffer because of this weakness.

On the contrary, for the first time in so many years, it felt a sense of freedom and ease.

It could not see the future, which relieved it, while the roar of Murozond echoed in its ears, the Eternal Dragon King cursing it as a coward.

However, the future is meant to be uncertain!
A restricted future can only create endless tragedies, and Nozdormu has seen too many of them in the past. So, to hell with the end of time, to hell with the Twilight Judgment, to hell with the right future.

Nozdormu raised his hand, letting the Sands of Time dissipate into the specks of light before him.

Then it clenched its fist and swung it hard.

现在
Destiny is in our own hands!
