Northrend, Keel Wilderness.

The ice and snow are cold, and the wind is biting. The walrus people of Kaluyak, near the coast, are busy in an orderly manner. Walrus Man, dockkeeper Canossack, directs sailors and coolies to load and unload cargo from two large turtles, 'Waverider' and 'Wormback Island'. 、

"Come on, kids! And one last cart of mammoth skins, loaded onto the boat, and we can rest. Canosak shouted loudly to the busy and slightly slacked young sailor.

"These mammoth skins can be transported to Unubi and Kamak in exchange for our continued grain and wine." Canosak shouted again, his eyes constantly looking at the cloudy sea in the distance, praying in his heart: "May this year's storm come one day later, and what needs to be prepared is not yet ready." ”

Since the explosion of the Well of Eternity, walrus people have lived on the coast for generations, gathering and fishing for a living. Some of the brave walrus people also set out for the warriors of the Clan to hunt giant mammoths and brown bears in the depths of the Dragonbone Wilderness.

Karouac is just one branch of the many walrus people. Chief Kunani, a wise and experienced elder, is sitting at the campfire telling the story of his youth to the young walrus.

"Grandpa Chief, did that last beautiful woman follow you to our tribe?" A walrus boy asked, after listening to Kunani's story.

"She wanted to come back with me. But sadly he was swept away by a storm and I haven't seen him since. Kunani touched his yellowed fangs, stroked his beard, and drank the characteristic milk wine.

Listening to Kunani's story, the young walrus man sighed. At this time, Kaluyak's secret mage Tuaru walked in and said, "Elder, a storm is brewing and will break out soon. ”

"How much longer?" Kunani asked, surprised.

"I just communicated with the earth and sensed that this storm is the largest and strongest ever, and it is expected to erupt in another half a day. And the first to bear the brunt are the coastal areas. Mystic Master Tuaru said.

"Are the boats for Unubi and Kamak gone?" Kunani asked.

"We've already set off. If nothing else, they will rush back before the storm breaks out. Tuaru replied.

"That's good, you tell me to go down, all the clansmen are prepared to prevent the wind, and they are all allowed to stay in the village and not go out!" Kunani ordered.

Tuaru was about to leave, when the walrus warrior commander Seruk ran in in a panic and said hurriedly: "Chief, hunter Moy went hunting with a team of soldiers, and he hasn't come back yet!" ”

"What? How long have they been out? Kunani and Tuaru asked anxiously.

"Almost three days!"

"Send someone to find it!" Tuaru said.

"No! The storm is coming, send people out at this time, in case the storm comes, they haven't rushed back, won't they take another life in vain! Kunani objected: "Moi has a lot of experience, as long as he doesn't encounter any powerful enemies, his life should not be in danger!" You go and arrange for your people, and you are not allowed to leave the village, until the storm has passed. ”

The mystic mage Tuaru and the leader Syruk left the chief's tent to pacify the people, and Seruk said, "Tuaru, I think it's better to go find them!" ”

"Syruk, I understand your feelings." "But if you look at the sea, it won't be long before the storm comes." At that time, I'm afraid that only those flying dragons in the entire Dragon Bone Wilderness will still be able to move! ”

"Let's hope Moy and they're okay!" Seruk also said helplessly.

"Commander, the wolverines of the snowy woodlands are here to steal things again!" A fighter hurried to report.

"These damn bandits, the storm is coming, and they don't know how to rest!" "Tell the brothers to assemble and drive them out." ”

Sailuk led the people away, and Tuaru stared at the sea with both eyes, and said, "It seems that this storm is not small!" Even the wolverines risk robbing! ”

After Quelsala and Sylvanas had arranged everything in Silvermoon City, they flew from Quiy on an ice dragon all the way to Northrend.

For the sake of Quel'sala's safety, Lothema and the Council arranged for a squadron of Fallen Blades to accompany Quelsala to protect him. The Fallen Blades, led by Ordaron, rode the Wind Rider and followed the ice dragon of Quelsala.

"Lord, the speed of this wind rider has gradually slowed down, and if we continue like this, we are afraid that we will lose the trace of His Highness in a while." A Fallen Blade squad leader said to Aldaron.

"I found out too! As we traveled, the temperature was getting colder and colder, and it was normal for these wind riders to endure the cold and slow down! Aldaron said, "The brothers are still holding on, right?"

"The brothers are all right, but the current speed is far from keeping up with Your Highness!" The squad leader said.

"Don't worry, you take everyone to fly slowly first, and I'll go to His Highness to ask about the situation!" With that, Aldaron urged the man who sat down to ride the wind quickly. Ordaron rode Durex the Wind Rider who fought against Quelsala in the Thousand Needles Stone Forest, and Durex was more patient than ordinary Wind Riders.

"Quill, I now know why you didn't agree to bring Anna and El here. It's so cold in this place! Sylvanas snuggled into Quel'sala's arms, feeling the cold wind whistling across her cheeks.

"This should be the frozen sea near Northrend! If I'm not mistaken, a storm is coming! Quelsara said, hugging Sylvanas.

"Ordaron, they're going to be fine, are they?" Sylvanas asked.

"Hmmm! It's so cold that you can't fly here without a specially trained flying mount. I'm afraid the wind riders won't be able to hold on. Quelsara said.

When Sylvanas heard Quelsala's words, he was worried, fearing that the Fallen Blades would be damaged. So he asked, "What should I do?" If something happens here, I'm afraid I'll fall into the sea and freeze into a popsicle! ”

"There's a walrus village not far ahead, where we can stop and recuperate, while the Wind Riders fly back to Silvermoon City on their own." Quelsala said, pointing into the distance.

As soon as Quelsala finished speaking, Ordaron flew over on the Wind Rider with difficulty and asked, "Your Highness, the brothers can't stand it!" Wind riders can't stand the cold! I've come to ask Your Highness what we should do! ”

"Old Ao, tell the brothers to hold on for ten minutes, and after ten minutes we will land and rest!" Quelsara said.

Ordaron went to give the order, and Quelsala hugged the beauty in her arms, her eyes staring solemnly ahead. 'It's a misfortune that this time I came to meet a great storm, is this the prelude to the coming of Arsaas?' ’
