The leader of the Argent Crusade, the great hero of Azeroth who fought the Lich King Arthas, the great Tirion Fordring, has fallen into such a tragic situation.
Although he knew this would happen, Lucas was still furious after seeing it with his own eyes and vowed to rescue Tirion Fordring.
But he's currently just a Construct unable to control his body; he can't even make a sound. How can he save Tirion Fordring?
For now, we can only wait and see; perhaps an opportunity will arise soon.
Lucas secretly made up his mind to rescue Tirion Fordring and then take revenge on Jaina; this was the belief that sustained him and kept him alive.
Considering the long lifespan of Dragonkin, Kalecgos is still young, having witnessed the upheavals of Azeroth many times since the opening of the Dark Portal.
Jaina's return has put Kalecgos in trouble; despite being the Aspect of the Blue, few of his people are willing to support him.
The Blue Dragonflight do not openly defy the Dragon King's will; they have their own methods: shirking responsibility, deliberately refusing to cooperate, and pretending to work hard while actually refusing to contribute. Things always end up in a mess. Kalecgos had several grand plans to transform the Blue Dragonflight and consolidate his rule, but all of them failed without exception.
"Jaina!"
Kalecgos lay on the very top of the Nexus, basking in the warm sunshine, utterly annoyed.
"You don't need to worry about Jaina," the Sathrovarr the Corruptor comforted her. "This world is far from peaceful. The Lightforging Orcs are locked in a standoff with the Lightforging Tauren, and a major war Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor is imminent. All we need to do is side with Jaina's enemies, even if it's just in name."
The Blue Dragonflight allied with the Argent Dawn without consulting other races, as the outcome was the same: only Kalecgos would go to their aid.
"What a laughable and childish move," the Black Dragon Eggs scoffed. "Millions of years of experience have taught me that this internal strife within the Army of the Light is deliberate. Joining either side will only make us cannon fodder. It's better to mediate, just as we've previously skillfully navigated between the Alliance and the Horde."
Sathrovarr countered, "Things are different now. We can't guarantee Jaina won't seek revenge."
Black Dragon Eggs scoffed, "In the end, it's all about strength. Kalecgos, as long as you help me possess a Blue Dragonflight's body, eliminating Jaina will be a piece of cake."
Kalecgos had considered this possibility, but his distrust of the mysterious Black Dragon Eggs meant that Jaina might not be dead, and he himself might lose his position as the Aspect of the Blue, or even meet a violent end.
Just as Kalecgos was hesitating, news arrived.
Kalecgos traveled throughout Azeroth for many years, witnessing the rise and fall of countless organizations, and secretly planted a number of spies, many of whom are still active today.
The message came from Thunder Bluff, from a pawn planted years ago at Grimtotem, who reported Jaina's deal with Aegwynn Kalecgos.
"Aegwynn wanted to pass on all her skills to me, but Jaina kept it from me. That treacherous and vicious woman."
Kalecgos was indignant, but thinking that he would have done the same in his place, his anger subsided somewhat.
Sathrovarr, thinking from the perspective of the Dreadlord's forte—scheming—said, "I think this is a trap. If Jaina is a treacherous viper, Guardian Aegwynn is a venomous dragon. She would never leave behind any benevolent legacy; perhaps this is a means of escaping."
"Absurd!" the Black Dragon Eggs, always one to disagree, immediately retorted. "I have lived for countless years and witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations, and I have never heard of such magic."
"Your opinion may not be reliable," Sathrovarr cautioned.
"My knowledge far surpasses that of the Void Lords. Back when he was just a lowly Shadowfiend, I was already traveling the universe."
Black Dragon Eggs likes to boast; most of what he says is self-praise, so it can't be entirely believed.
"Stop arguing." Kalecgos fell into thought, "As far as I know Aegwynn, she's definitely not that kind of person. I've lived much longer than her and witnessed her rise to power step by step, through countless conspiracies and schemes, the fall of countless kingdoms, and the deaths of countless people. To reach where she is today, she has stepped on countless corpses."
After hesitating for a long time, Kalecgos, conflicted, refused to give up the opportunity. "Assuming Aegwynn has a scheme, is there a way to plan ahead and make her fail?"
Sathrovarr laughed, "You want to eat the bait and then not bite the hook? There's a way, as long as you can resist the temptation."
It's rare for Black Dragon Eggs to reach a consensus:
"Whatever schemes Aegwynn may have, they all depend on you learning her magic. If you only learn it but don't master it, then Aegwynn can't do anything to you. Afterwards, I'll use my millennia of knowledge and experience to help you filter out useful magic and eliminate those suspicious options, ensuring absolute safety. However, magic is the path to becoming stronger. Can you resist that temptation?"
Kalecgos said confidently, "That's not difficult. After learning Aegwynn's magic, I'll hide away in some corner and cultivate for a thousand years. When the likes of Jaina have all died of old age, I'll step forward, and then I'll be the King of Azeroth."
Sathrovarr shook his head and said, "Aegwynn's magic isn't quite up to that level, but mastering even a small portion of her magic will help you deal with Jaina."
The Blue Dragonflight possesses a vast amount of Arcane Magic, Dalaran in Arcane field. Unfortunately, Kalecgos's mastery of it is lacking. In his early years, Sathrovarr sabotaged his potential, primarily in his mastery of Arcane Magic. Had he been proficient in other schools of magic, it might have been Kalecgos's chance to rise to prominence.
This is precisely why Kalecgos refused to give up; he transformed into human form, disguised himself as an adventurer, and secretly infiltrated Orgrimmar.
Kalecgos was cautious enough to first hire several groups of adventurers to scout the area and, upon confirming that there were no ambushes nearby, proceed with extreme care.
In the Ruins of Orgrimmar, in the dark, sunless lake, Kalecgos revealed his identity, showing a Blue Dragonflight scale.
Countless whirlpools surged from the lake, and countless tentacles emerged like a dense forest. Dark energy coalesced into a gigantic head—the peerless Guardian Aegwynn —who gazed down upon Kalecgos with delight.
"Kalecgos, the Aspect of the Blue, you are so weak, unworthy of such a prestigious title. I am willing to impart all my knowledge to you. Are you willing to accept?"
Kalecgos feigned doubt and said hesitantly, "I have some concerns. In fact, I'm conflicted and don't know whether I should accept it or not."
Aegwynn spoke in a dignified voice, "Your concerns stem from a lack of trust in me. I have already considered this and can dispel your thoughts. All my magical power is concentrated in the Spellstealer Wyrm. The High Elves of Silvermoon City taught us magic with ill intentions, wanting to steal humanity's magical aptitude. Unfortunately, compared to cunning and treachery, how could the simple High Elves be a match for humans?"
A large number of translucent Spellstealer Wyrm out, numbering over a thousand. The dark lake was filthy, but it was a mystery how Aegwynn managed to keep these Spellstealer Wyrm completely Corruption.
"Accept my Spellstealer Wyrm, and you will gain all my magic, Kalecgos. What is your decision?"
