81. North of the mountains
People always talk about epic poems, and the stories of heroes are sung endlessly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Oh, yes.
Azeroth, as it may be known by its name, will not be known until 10,000 years later, when heroes and wars will be raging, and the vast Azeroth will be divided into two continents and countless fragments, and thousands of races will be entangled with each other, they will have a common enemy, but they will also be hostile to each other.
Death and betrayal will always be the main theme of that era, and of course, there is also love, devotion and sacrifice to sing and cry about.
People call this an epic, a prosperous chapter, but for that near-eternal life, it may not be any different. Whether it is 10,000 years or a moment when the white horse passes by, in the eyes of the bronze dragon Nozdom, time is just a bead line made of countless fragments.
After defeating the primordial dragon Galakron, he was given the power to control time in Azeroth by Rai among the Guardians.
This power makes him happy, but it also makes him melancholy.
He rejoiced that he could not tell the Prophet that the world had no secrets before him, and that he was more confident than his four dear companions—Alexstrasa the Lifebinder, Ysera the Sleeper, Malygos the Weaver, and Nesario the Earth Keeper—who was more advantageous and important in protecting Azeroth.
But what made him melancholy was that while gaining this precious power, he also saw his own end.
and the end of this world.
Nozdom can assure you that knowing ahead of time about your death is not a pleasant thing, especially since he is known as the Eternal. He knew too many secrets, some of them could tell—but his siblings didn't think so, and some of them never took, especially in the face of his black brother and the blue dragon who would escape to a tragic fate in the future.
Even if Malygos always showed off his magic to them, his magic could not save his own fate and the fate of his people.
Since he obtained this power, such contradictions have constantly tormented him, on the one hand, his friends, his clan, and on the other hand, the mission given by the guardians, this world.
There is no best of both worlds, which makes Norddom feel bitter and even resentful, and he sometimes asks aloud why he was given time.
No one could answer.
The power he once prided himself on was more like a curse, making him miserable and unable to escape from it. Nozdom grew increasingly silent in front of several of his friends, uneasy and isolated, and even now, Alexstrasza's invitation to him and the other three dragon kings to gather in the land of the former destruction of tyrants was rejected by him.
Temple of the Dragon's Sleep.
Standing on the Dragonbone Plains, the tower was built to commemorate their joint defeat of the evil Galakron, and three figures had gathered at this moment.
Alexstrasza, the Red Dragon Queen who is in charge of life, and Ysera, the Green Dragon Queen, who is in charge of the Emerald Dream, and Malygos, the Blue Dragon King, who happily brags to the two ladies and basks in happiness.
"Thank you for coming, Ysera, Malygos, I think Nesario will be there soon, I hear the sound of his wings whistling, look, he's coming."
A huge black shadow appeared in the sky, and Nesario's body was much larger than the three-headed dragon present, his whole body was pitch black, and his thick scales were like battle armor.
He was Alexstrasza's first partner, and although they both now have their own clans and families, Nesario and Alexstrasza remain close companions.
"I'm glad you're here, Nesario."
"I'm here when I hear your call, Alexstrasza." The black dragon turned into a mortal figure, just like the other dragons in front of him.
The mortal Nesario is not handsome in appearance, and even a little ordinary, but he still inherits his strong and calm characteristics.
"Long time no see," after her sister, the Green Dragon Queen also greeted Nesario.
"Long time no see, Ysera."
There was no problem with Nesario's words, because the dragons present knew that Ysera had been entrusted with the task of overseeing the Emerald Dream by the Guardian Freya, and now that a large number of Guardians have fallen and disappeared, she has been guarding the Emerald Dream for a long time to achieve a balance between the two realms. Aside from Nozdom, she is usually the hardest to see. But on the other hand, she came, and Nozdom didn't even hear back, much to Alexstrasza's displeasure.
Seeing Nesario and Malygos wrestling their wrists affectionately, Ysera sighed, "They really look like a pair of real brothers." ”
"yes," Alexstrasza's attention wasn't there, so she just answered perfunctorily.
After greeting all the dragons present, Nesario glanced around and asked his friends, "Didn't he come to Nozdom?" ”
Alexstrasza's voice was a little angry, but it quickly turned to helplessness: "I would have liked to know where he is, but his people replied that they don't know where Nozdom is, and honestly, I think he's getting farther and farther away from us." ”
"Maybe he's got something to do, you know, he's got a lot more than what we've seen." Nesario advises that compared to Alexstrasza, who has a somewhat impatient personality, his composure always helps his partners calm down and grasp the point at critical moments.
If Alexstrasza is their leader, then Nesario is the solid back.
"Good thing you're here, Nesario." The Red Dragon Queen said to her former companion, who is now a close friend, Nesario, "In fact, I have recently discovered a huge aura that envelops the land from time to time, and I think you may have felt it too, and if Nozdom is here, I wish he could tell me what it is." ”
"Ah, I feel it too." Malygos always seized any opportunity to show off his magic, "I used my spells to find the source of that power, and you know, I can use my spells to observe the ...... of Azeroth"
"We all know what you're capable of, Malygos." Alexstrasza was a little helpless: "So please tell you the point." ”
"I've found that this power comes from the well that the Guardians deliberately set aside to repair this world."
"The Well of Eternity."
"Is someone taking advantage of it?" Alexstrasza frowned.
She had never forgotten the dragon's duty to maintain the stability of Azeroth by the Guardians. And the Well of Eternity connects to the place where the Star Soul is located, bringing life and prosperity to the whole world, and such a sacred thing cannot be touched by mortals.
"It's a bunch of trolls." Malygos said.
"The noisy creatures," Alexstrasza, who listened to Malygos, did not hide his displeasure in the slightest, "They always bring trouble to the world, but their toss is not worth our own action." ”
Instead, Nesario asked, "Is there anything special about them?" ”
"Yes, they've evolved into a whole new race, and I can sense the same aura among them as the Guardians."
This sentence made the faces of the other dragons change.
Now that the Guardians of Tyre and Freya have fallen one after another, the Guardians who once brought stability and prosperity to this world have gradually erased their traces in this world, and the dragons have also tried to find Odin and Rai, whose whereabouts are unknown, but for many years to no avail, all they can do now is to act as an observer and protector, taking over the mission entrusted to them by those who once gave them power and glory.
But that doesn't mean they've given up.
"Could it be him?" Alexstrasza asked after a silence.
Of her three companions, Nesario was the only one who spoke, "I don't know, but this might be an opportunity." ”
He asserted.
