Chapter Seventeen - Sinestra
…………
Katnara Preisto spread his arms to both sides of his body. His body began to expand rapidly. Amid the heavy breathing, the countess who once dominated the alliance politics fell down, supported the ground with his limbs, and stretched forward. The robe on his body torn into pieces, flew into the air, and immediately fell back to her body, turning into hard dark red scales. A sharp tail extended from behind her. Her hands and feet turned into powerful and sharp dragon claws.
All these changes were completed in just a blink of an eye, and the original humans disappeared, replaced by a gorgeous black dragon.
Onyxia stretched out her huge wings and jumped into the air. The black dragon flew towards the Dragon's throat fortress. Her powerful muscles pushed her to keep moving upwards, moving forward at full speed under the night sky.
A few seconds later, she rushed into the night sky. The air behind her formed a whirlwind, sweeping away any traces of her passing.
The sturdy fortress is located in a crystal forest. In front of the fortress, you can vaguely see the stone strippers who dig crystals and some homeless gas elements.
Onyxia heard that those strange and ugly stone peelers tasted very good, but the Black Dragon Princess was not here to find food. When she landed, she tried her best to control the movements, but she still scared the stone peelers to flee around.
Well, when you are discovered, it is best to quickly turn back into human form.
Although the orcs of the Dragon Throat Clan were powerful, they did not notice that a giant dragon had arrived quietly. Onyxia turned back to Katnara, she combed her long black hair and looked around, and it seemed that the person she was waiting for had not appeared yet. The other party should have been delayed by something important.
The Shadow Moon Valley under the night sky looked very strange, and the darkness was full of all kinds of dangers. But Onyxia didn't have to worry at all. Who dared to provoke a dragon? Now, the only guy who could make her feel unhappy was the crow above a crystal. The bird's sharp sounded a little harsh. It twisted its head, as if it was looking for the corpses of the stone-strikers, preparing a delicious meal, but because Onyxia was here, it dared not fly down.
The woman smiled proudly. She liked the behavior of others being afraid of her, regardless of what kind of creature the other person was.
Now the black dragon blocked herself with magic and walked southeast. She wanted to go to see the camp where the Dragon Throat Clan trained the void. This would delay extra time, but there should be no big problem if you wait and see for a while.
"Where are you going?"
Onyxia was startled by the sound and was immediately surprised.
"Mother?" she called, but she couldn't see where the voice was.
"Don't expose our identities in front of orcs." A slim blood elf suddenly appeared in front of the Black Dragon Princess. "That will attract your father's attention."
Hinestra, the first spouse of the Earth Guard Nesario, the mother of Onyxia and Nefarian. He is one of the few members of the Black Dragon today.
"Everyone says that my father is dead."
"If what they said was true, you wouldn't have come here, silly boy." Hinestra took off her veil and let Onyxia see the half burned terrifying face below. Her ruined face still increased the anxiety in Princess Black Dragon's heart a thousand times. Onystra would rather not see Hinestra than see this face. Even though the veil was covered with those ugly traces, the Black Dragon could still feel the tragic past hidden under the veil.
"Is it my father?"
"The powerful power in his body destroyed all spouses except me, even me..." Hinestra touched her face, which was only part of her destruction.
"Are you avoiding him?"
Onyxia's mother nodded. "It's been many years. Since your father... disappeared, I waited and watched for a long time before I dared to come out of the shadow."
"My current situation is similar to yours, mother." Onyxia's face looked ugly. She felt frightened every day after she thought of her failure in Stormwind's mission and might be about to suffer the anger of Deathwing.
"Daughter, your brother..."
"He's dead," Onyxia replied. "He was killed by the Alliance, and Black Rock Mountain's career was completely failed."
"Deathwings will not be happy." Hinestra shook her head, and she put on her veil again, saying, "Listen, my daughter. Your father is crazy. This is well known, and he is not dead yet. He is just dormant in the dark. If one day he suddenly appears, the entire Azeroth will be his target of destruction, including you and me, so before that, we must master the way to deal with him."
"Treat him?" Onyxia stared at her mother in surprise, and wanted to compete with the guardians of the earth. Even the other guardian dragons were not the opponent of Deathwings. "What are you going to do?"
"I plan to continue your brother's experiments," said Hinestra. "Your brother is studying colorful dragons, an experimental subject created with the power of other dragons. His plan was defeated by mortals, which just gave me a chance."
"Did you get Nefarian's experimental data?" asked the Black Dragon Princess.
Hinestra nodded, and she faced the other side, recited a spell, and a dragon egg appeared in front of the two of them. What is confusing is that this dragon egg is very strange. Its surface does not have stone thorns for protection. Instead, it is covered with blocky spots, red and white.
"This is?"
"The Dragon Egg of the Sworn Boundary of Life."
"Alextasa?" Onyaxia blinked in surprise. She looked at the dragon egg carefully, skeptical. "How did her offspring look like this?"
"It's not considered a child, and this dragon egg cannot be hatched at all." Hinestra explained that when Onyxia was about to touch it with her hands, she stopped her. "It can't be touched, it's very fragile."
"You said it can't hatch?"
"Yes, it's more a container than a dragon egg. Your brother's report shows that the purest power of Alextasa is hidden in this egg."
"How was it born? It could not have been created by the red dragon who took the initiative to waste his power, right?"
Cinestra was also surprised about this question. She searched in Black Rock Mountain for a long time but still didn't find the origin data of this dragon egg.
"This is also what I am curious about. In addition, there is another question: Why doesn't your brother use this dragon egg? His laboratory in Black Rock Mountain is full of five-colored young dragons' corpses and eggshells. But this thing is placed in the dark room and protected by magic barriers."
"The secret here may only be Nefarian knows." Onyxia sighed.
Hinestra chanted the spell again and took back the dragon egg. Then they would talk about the serious matters.
"Mother, why are you here? Are you dealing with those dragon-throated orcs?"
"Yes." Onyxia's mother replied, looking at the Dragon Throat Fortress. "Continuing your brother's experiment requires a large number of dragon eggs. Fortunately, in the Outland, I found a substitute. Those Void Dragons are also the creations of Death Wings."
"I know the crazy behavior of my father. I am also looking for a hiding place. Fortunately, I found it, and I also got a new servant."
"What servant?"
"A large group of undeads," replied Onyxia. "They do not belong to the Scourge, and the one who led them was called the Withering One. He also came to the Outlands."
When Hinestra heard the word "dead", she couldn't help but frown. She didn't like those brainless guys. The dragon clan was arrogant and it was difficult to reduce his identity and the dead who were stinking corpse. "Are you sure, Onyxia? Are you sure you want to control a group of undead? They may not be able to play any role?"
"But they should be able to cooperate with your actions."
