Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Potential Threats
The battle between the dragon and the dragon-slaying warrior lasted for half the night.
In fact, during the fight, the dragon-slaying hero had a whimsical thought of transforming into a dragon himself to defeat his opponent.
However, considering his power was ultimately not strong enough, and that his dragon form would be much smaller than his adversary, he realized that this would only put him at a disadvantage.
Yet, even though it wasn't possible this time, this idea remained deeply buried in his heart.
After the grueling battle, Alaric stayed in the Emerald Dream with the still human-formed Ysera, engaging in light conversation.
It was mainly Ysera who spoke, sharing her longing over hundreds of thousands of years, recounting various experiences they had during that time, much like an ordinary girl sharing everything with her lover.
Some might find this dull, but in the eyes of couples, such idle chatter is an incredibly sweet thing.
If other green dragons were present, they would certainly not believe that the female night elf, who was nestled in the arms of a human male and chattering away, was their queen.
In dragon society, the six guardian dragons hold an especially noble status; the existence of other dragons is to serve them.
To ordinary dragons, the guardian dragons are like kings to regular humans; no matter how proud they are, it is not an exaggeration.
Most ordinary dragons don't even get the chance to speak to them, let alone mortal races.
Guardian dragons like Alexstrasza, who embody the ideal of a loving wife and mother, are the most gentle and approachable, occasionally lowering themselves to speak a few words with mortals.
However, Ysera, the green dragon queen, is an entirely different extreme.
Although she is of a gentler disposition, she is too indifferent, having long slumbered in the Emerald Dream.
Aside from her duty to protect and her two sisters, she hardly cares about anything else.
Even her fellow green dragons seldom get more than a glance from her, yet at this moment, she was being so affectionate and chatty with a mortal.
For Ysera, the man before her occupies an extraordinarily important place in her heart, even surpassing her duty to protect; he is nearly on par with her two sisters—no, now he surpasses them, having taken the most important position in her life.
After all, besides the bond of their pact, Alaric is also Ysera's caretaker and her only partner.
...
Whether a mother dragon or a woman, they all share the same desire to be with their partners after their first time, not wanting to part for even a moment.
For those caught in love, the time spent with their beloved always feels fleeting.
In the Emerald Dream, morning light has already cast itself from the far side of the earth, indicating that their time together should come to an end.
After all, Alaric still needed to remain in the Violet Castle; if he didn't want to arouse suspicion, he should avoid lingering in the Emerald Dream during regular sleeping hours.
Thus, he and Ysera began their reluctant farewell, promising to meet again the following night.
At the moment of parting, Ysera suddenly hesitated and said, "Um... Father, I have something to ask you. Please don't get angry when I say it."
"What is it? I will do my best to grant your request," Alaric replied with a smile.
"This matter..." Ysera hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "I found your whereabouts; can I tell my sisters later?"
Though the request was somewhat strange, Alaric quickly realized that Ysera wanted to have a few more days alone with him.
After all, in most cases, love contains a possessive nature; even Ysera wished to monopolize her partner for a short time.
She had already guessed how her sisters would react once they saw Alaric.
However, despite her strong desire for Alaric to agree, his response was disappointing to her.
"I'm sorry; I need to see them as soon as possible."
Alaric shook his head, feeling quite guilty.
"I see," Ysera's expression grew a bit sad as she forced a smile. "I'm sorry... I was too willful. My sisters miss you just as much as I do; I shouldn't have been so selfish."
"No, it's not a matter of selfishness," Alaric shook his head and explained.
"If Azeroth were still as it was hundreds of thousands of years ago, maintaining long-term peace, it wouldn't matter if I delayed seeing them for a month or two.
However, the current Azeroth doesn't have that kind of time to waste…
This is a tumultuous time, and Azeroth is facing a series of crises; you must prepare early… But I can wait a day or two to see them."
Alaric had always kept his true origins highly confidential; he never revealed the so-called plot issues to anyone. All his foresight was disguised as guesses and reasoning.
Thus, even Ysera and her sisters were entirely unaware of Azeroth's future trajectory.
When Alaric first brought them to Azeroth, he had only revealed the threats posed by the Old Gods, claiming that he discovered these threats while searching for the Titan laboratory.
According to the original plot trajectory, among the various threats facing Azeroth in the future, several were closely related to dragons and even led to the downfall of several guardian dragons, including Ysera herself.
One of these threats is particularly imminent, and Alaric wanted to warn them and find a way to prevent it.
Becoming guardian dragons has made the three sisters strong, but it also deeply bonded them with Azeroth—perhaps that is the price of gaining power.
Their fates have been intertwined with this planet since the moment they gained their strength.
If Alaric were to let them leave Azeroth and the Warcraft universe forever right now, they would undoubtedly be safe.
Moreover, if Alaric demanded this, they would surely comply.
But that couldn't happen.
Because if Alaric did that, the three sisters would certainly be trapped in guilt for quite some time, something Alaric did not wish to see.
In this case, Alaric's only option was to help them and protect Azeroth.
If there were any existence in the Warcraft universe, even the most powerful among the Titans, Aman'Thul, could not guarantee that he could protect Azeroth.
In fact, Aman'Thul was already dead, killed by the fallen titan Sargeras, who had long coveted Azeroth, and even the Titans in his Pantheon had been wiped out by Sargeras.
But Alaric was different.
He understood the plot and knew all the potential crises that could happen in the future, understood the sources of all crises, and knew who their friends were and who posed potential threats.
Guarding Azeroth was something only he could accomplish.
For him, doing so would not only satisfy the desires of the three little dragon daughters but also fulfill his long-held wish from his past life of playing WOW, while also seizing the opportunity to gain powerful strength. Why not?
