After Jaina entered Dalaran study, and especially after becoming a disciple of the Archmage Antonidas, she became the pride of the Maritime Kingdom of Kul Tiras, and the people affectionately called her "The Daughter of the Sea."
In the Barrens, Jaina betrayed her father to the Horde in the name of "peace."
This was a turning point. Like the unpredictable sea, it brought both gentle sunshine and devastating Gale. While bringing hope and happiness to the people, it also brought despair and destruction.
The fallen soldiers, the countless lives lost, the young wives who lost their husbands, the elderly who lost their sons—all these brought tragedy and disaster to countless families, and all of this could have been avoided.
It is said that in the Maritime Kingdom of Kul Tiras, if a child is disobedient and cries incessantly, simply shouting "The Daughter of the Sea is here!" will immediately stop the crying. Jaina's terror is deeply ingrained in everyone's heart.
The calm sea, bathed in warm sunlight, reflects countless tiny, shimmering rays of light.
Jaina reached out and held a staff in her hand; at that moment, she was in a very bad mood.
Why was she working so tirelessly, traveling everywhere? Was it for the Horde? For Thrall?
No, as she told King Varian, everything she did was for herself.
In order to become stronger, they don't care about rivers of blood or raging floods.
Ordinary people's lives are like fragile candlelight, which can be extinguished at any time. Only eternal power and immortality are Jaina's only pursuits.
"A bunch of lowly ants, what right do they have to laugh at me, to laugh at an Archmage?"
Jaina slowly flew into the air. These past few days had been very difficult. Facing King Varian required a lot of patience, which had pushed her temper to its limit, and she desperately needed an outlet.
The song from the mysterious sea is deadly and enigmatic to sailors, but to Jaina, it is nothing more than Naga, Siren, or some other Archmage like herself.
Looking into the distance, Jaina quickly found her target.
On the azure sea, a huge iceberg floats, approaching the direction of the Sea's Sovereignty.
The iceberg shone brilliantly in the sunlight, like a giant brick, and at its very top stood a little girl.
Robbie and Vanessa had excellent eyesight; they both spotted the little girl, who was only about thirteen or fourteen years old and bore a striking resemblance to Jaina.
However, there are some slight differences. Although Jaina is a rare beauty, she also has flaws, such as a few light freckles on her face and fine wrinkles on her forehead. However, she hides her flaws very well and always shows people her perfect side.
But this very young girl possessed a truly flawless beauty, breathtakingly beautiful, almost inhuman. Her face was cold, with a mocking smile, as she looked at Jaina in the sky and beckoned to her.
Jaina was also watching the little girl; she sensed a threat.
The resemblance in appearance is only part of it; many forms of magic can achieve this. Even more strangely, the little girl's temperament and the magical aura surrounding her are very similar to her own.
A little girl who looked exactly like her seemed like she could replace her at any moment; for some reason, Jaina had this feeling.
Taking a deep breath, Jaina returned to the ship.
"I am facing a formidable foe and hope to receive your help," Jaina pleaded. Since becoming Archmage, she had rarely asked for favors.
Vanessa looked at Robbie was wearing thick armor, and immediately shook his head. Vanessa followed suit and shook her head as well.
"This is your fight, Jaina, it has nothing to do with us," Robbie said firmly, leaving no room for negotiation. "I saw that little girl; she was clearly here to cause you trouble."
"Where's the little girl? I don't see her." Experiment 335 was baffled; to him, the little girl on the iceberg was just a tiny black dot.
Jaina didn't have time to pay him any attention, nor did she have time to explain. With a serious expression, she said, "Do you know what that little girl who looks a lot like me represents?"
Vanessa genuinely didn't know the little girl's origins, tilting her head as if deep in thought. Experiment 335 clearly looked bewildered, but Robbie's face was hidden by his visor, Jaina couldn't decipher his expression.
"This is one of the oldest, most bizarre, and most terrifying Legendary Kul Tiras. It is said that the sea is a magic mirror that reflects the image of each of us. These images become inner demons, and once you are killed by your own inner demon, it will take your place, use your identity, your name, hold your wife, beat your children, and possess everything you have."
Robbie shrugged and said nothing.
"Actually, I've already deciphered this Legendary. There is no magic mirror in the sea. They are minions of the Old Gods N'Zoth, a rare and special kind of Faceless Ones. They evolve to have faces like ours, making them even more terrifying than ordinary Faceless Ones. If I fail, then you will face the same challenge. These Faceless Ones often appear in groups."
Robbie remained unmoved, Vanessa's expression was equally calm, and strangely enough, even Experiment 335 seemed indifferent, as if he wouldn't die anyway.
Jaina was somewhat discouraged. She glared at the three of them fiercely and could only fly into the air alone to challenge the little girl.
"N'Zoth's minions, special Faceless Ones, is that true?" Experiment 335 asked.
Robbie shook his head and smiled, "I didn't expect Jaina to have such a talent for storytelling."
On the night Silvermoon City fell, that High Elf girl who wasn't Mana Addiction has finally grown up. Is she coming to seek revenge on Jaina?
Boom!
Jaina made the first move, summoning a gigantic Water Elemental that seemed even larger than the Sea's Sovereignty. The Water Elemental writhed and its head split open, sprouting three dragon heads.
The little girl also made her move, summoning a Water Elemental with three heads almost simultaneously. The two Water Elementals, like twins, approached each other and engaged in a fierce battle on the sea.
Jaina frowned slightly, revealing the unsightly wrinkles on her forehead. She no longer cared about her appearance; the little girl had summoned an identical Water Elemental. What was her origin?
A large mass of seawater flew into the air, accompanied by a biting wind. Jaina unleashed her power of Frost, freezing the seawater into a giant trident that seemed even larger than the iceberg beneath the little girl's feet.
The little girl completed her spell almost simultaneously; the two tridents collided on the sea surface, causing large chunks of ice to fall, showing that they were evenly matched.
"Is she copying my magic, or does she know my secrets?"
Confused, Jaina decided to unleash her ultimate move.
Frost, Arcane, and Flame —three powers appeared in Jaina's hands. At this moment, Jaina's expression was extremely focused; this spell was incredibly difficult, and she could not afford to be distracted in the slightest.
The little girl became a bit more serious and tried to imitate Jaina, attempting to gather the power of the three elements, but she quickly failed. This was an exceptionally complex spell, requiring extremely strong magical control and a special casting method; it was impossible to complete without extensive training.
The little girl shook her head, lost in thought. She tried to cast the spell again, and unsurprisingly, she failed once more.
Jaina gave a mocking smile as she unleashed the completed spell towards the little girl.
The little girl simply summoned an Ice Block, which blocked Jaina's ultimate attack.
Jaina was taken aback; the little girl's control over Frost magic far surpassed her own.
To her even greater surprise, on the third attempt, the little girl actually completed her ultimate move, successfully mixing the three magical elements together.
Jaina was stunned. This magic had taken her a whole year to ensure that she could successfully cast the spell every time.
The little girl succeeded after only three attempts.
Is this simply a difference in talent?
"Who are you?"
Jaina asked anxiously.
