Jaina's Gossip

"What else?" Jaina asked, looking surprised. In her memory, a highly eccentric senior like Aegwynn was always a person of her word.

"And did she say why she wanted to become my advisor?" Zul'ra asked with a hint of amusement. He knew himself well enough to know that even if he did know Aegwynn's identity, he would never allow her to participate in Horde affairs and leak related secrets. He would be devastated if she did.

"This..." Jaina was speechless for a moment, unsure how to answer.

"By the way, what is it about Lady Aegwynn that you admire so much? I'm very curious about that." Seeing that Jaina was speechless, Zul'ra didn't want to dwell on the question any longer, and instead inquired about Aegwynn's deeds. Apart from the fact that Aegwynn was Medivh's mother, he didn't know much about this former Guardian. Well, she was rather narcissistic.

"You don't know about Lady Aegwynn? Oh, that's true!" Jaina was a little surprised, but then she understood. Perhaps Zul'ra knew about her because of her status as the Guardian of Aegwynn, but she didn't really know her. That was normal, after all, very few people in Dalaran had ever seen that lady, and she herself had only had the privilege of meeting her once before.

"What do you mean?" Zul'ra asked, looking at Jaina, who seemed rather neurotic like a fangirl.

"Because very few people know where Lady Aegwynn is, and I've only seen her once before, when I first arrived in Dalaran, I saw her turn Master Arugal into a sheep and then teach him a lesson with such righteous indignation." Jaina recalled that when she first met Aegwynn, her eyes seemed to sparkle like stars.

"That's impressive." Zul'ra recalled Aegwynn's firm denial that she was Dalaran mage and his rebuke of Dalaran mages as idiots. Hmm, this former Guardian, besides being narcissistic, was also quite fearless of authority, which perfectly matched her free-spirited and rebellious personality.

"Of course, I also asked my mentor about some things later. Magena has done a lot of things, and do you know what the most famous one is?" Jaina's tone was full of gossipy excitement.

"What?" Zul'ra blinked as she looked at the gossipy Jaina, a mixture of curiosity and amusement rising in her heart. It seemed that the former Guardian had done quite a few things that had caught the world's attention.

"You know Nerlas Nielas Aran, right!" Jaina, like a girl sharing gossip, lowered her voice excitedly and looked around the room, ready for Magena Aegwynn to suddenly appear out of nowhere.

"I've heard of him, a very famous mage. I remember he wrote a book called ' Magic Cuisine, 'Nielas Aran..." Zul'ra nodded, then suddenly remembered that Aegwynn had used the surname "Nielas Aran" when dealing with her.

"Nerlas Nielas Aran, he was a brilliant and exceptionally talented mage who served as the court mage of Stormwind. That's what the world knows about him on the surface, but I learned from my mentor that he was also Medivh's father and a candidate for the Guardian, and a rival of Aegwynn." Jaina was full of gossip.

"So that's how it is." Zul'ra's eyes widened. Medivh's biological father was him, and Nerlas had almost become a Guardian. It really is true that birds of a feather flock together!

"That's right, but do you know how Magena and Master Nerlas came together?" Jaina's fair face flushed with excitement.

"..." Zul'ra looked at Jaina without speaking, only asking with a curious and inquiring gaze.

"I heard from my mentor that Magena used hallucinogens." Zul'ra's eyes widened in shock at Jaina's words. To be honest, this might be a joke if it happened to someone else, but considering the former Guardian's temperament, it seemed quite plausible.

"Isn't that cool?" Jaina was gossiping about others, her face flushed with excitement, and her eyes were filled with admiration, which made Zul'ra turn her gaze to the side.

"Jaina..." Zul'ra looked at Jaina, who was excited and gossipy, but actually secretly admiring and adoring Jaina, and couldn't help but twitch her brow. It was hard to imagine that beneath Jaina's dignified appearance lay a rebellious and gossipy heart.

"Um, Zul'ra, we're friends. What did we talk about tonight?" Jaina blushed at Zul'ra's surprised expression, suppressed her own, and then asked seriously.

"I don't remember." Zul'ra raised her head slightly, pretending not to recall.

"Very well, then let's discuss how to deal with the demons of Poison Mist Peak. Magena is my mentor and close friend..." Jaina began earnestly, but before she could finish speaking, she couldn't help but blush. Gossiping about her mentor and close friend behind her back didn't seem like the way to be friends.

"Ahem, speaking of which, Jaina, do you know anything about the Guardians?" Zul'ra, suppressing a laugh, brought up a new topic as she looked at Jaina's slightly embarrassed and conflicted expression.

"The Guardians... This used to be a very secretive matter, but I heard about it from my mentor. He said that this position was established to protect our world, and the Council of Tirisfal was established at the same time. The Council of Tirisfal was responsible for passing on the position of Guardians, but things went wrong in Magena's generation." Jaina put aside her guilt towards Magena and recalled Zul'ra's words.

"Oh, and then some specifics?" Zul'ra asked.

"I don't know the details, but Magena doesn't like constraints. She broke away from the Council of Tirisfal and worked alone for hundreds of years, choosing her own successor, which was against the norm. Later, when the Guardians reached Medivh's generation, things went wrong. It is said that he was corrupted by demons while fighting them, which led to the opening of the Dark Portal..." Jaina frowned and shook her head, but then a thought flashed through her mind.

"Speaking of which, Zul'ra, you guys did a really good job on this."

"Hmm?" Zul'ra blinked as she looked at Jaina, who had suddenly changed the subject. This girl's thoughts were wandering a bit too fast.

"It's about the Poison Mist Peak incident. The collaboration with Theramore was brilliant. I think we could use the Burning Legion as a target to create a new Council of Tirisfal, forming an alliance between the Alliance and the Horde to fight against the demons." Jaina's eyes sparkled, drawing attention to the Burning Legion and thus setting aside the conflict between the Alliance and the Horde.

"That's exactly what we were planning to do." Zul'ra looked at the beautiful girl who was a little rebellious but incredibly intelligent, and couldn't help but smile.

There's nothing left at night.
