…………

This is just a ceremony.

"Incredible." Nathanos was startled. He could accept the changes in his body for the time being, but the freshman's voice caught him off guard. The voice was no longer rough, but a clear and flat tone. Nathanos quickly touched his neck with his hands, feeling like a living person.

Of course, he did not come alive, and his heart still did not beat, but he could no longer say that he was a dead man. The most powerful proof was that he tried it accidentally. He just thought about it according to his will and took a breath of air conditioning. His eyes suddenly widened, allowing the air to enter his heart and lungs.

Is this feeling worthy of happiness? The wither doesn't know and will no longer think about meaningless questions. At this moment, what he is most concerned about is of course the Heart of Azeroth in his hand. Time is tight, and he knows very little about this necklace, and to understand everything, it may take several days for him to meditate. But for now, he has to leave Thunder Island first.

The storm continued, and its maker did not let it stop. The witherer could see what happened outside the storm, but the people outside could not see themselves. Just like Aurelia now, the female elf came to him, and... Sylvanas.

One day he would face them, but the complex emotions were so closely entangled in his heart. Although Nathanos was not surprised by their arrival, he even told himself that he did not care about Aurelia or Sylvanas's views on his changes, but in fact, he cared very much, so he was a little excited and a little conflicted.

What a fool. He laughed at himself, regained his previous indifference, placed the necklace on his chest, and merged with it again.

"Nathanos?"

Sylvanas began to shout his name. Aurelia raised her head and stood there, the tension making her breath heavy.

It seems that the Regent of Quel'thalas is in a state of overwhelming feeling.

Nathanos controlled himself to land and landed steadily on the ground. The moment he closed his eyes and opened his eyes, he knocked his fingers with his hands...

The wind stopped.

The magic dispersed, and the Focused Rainbow was closed.

...The storm suddenly disappeared without a trace, and silence replaced the surroundings. He appeared in front of the two female elves. He didn't pay attention to what the other person had. He just looked up, just touched his jaw with his hand, and said with a raised corner of his mouth: "How do I look...?"

He believed they could recognize him, even if his appearance had changed.

Apart from shock, Nathanos saw nothing from Aurelia or Sylvanas's face. For these two women, there must be a lot to say, but they didn't say a word. When they saw him appear, they just looked at him with a surprised expression that they had never shown before when they discovered the New World.

"Father, how are you?" Audroksion came to him, with a blue dragon following behind Twilight Dragon. Obviously, Caregus was also shocked when he saw Nathanos and the Focused Rainbow behind him.

"It's still too dead to die again." Nathanos said.

"You are the leader of the Forgotten?" Karegoth's half-elf form approached the Withered. The latter was staring at him with a sarcastic look, which made him even more angry.

"Do you know what you are doing? How dare you abuse the power here? Look at the good things you are doing." He pointed directly above the Throne of Thunder, and the sky that was broken by arcane energy was flashing white, but it was not caused by the sun.

"I thought you would ask me how Teregosa is." Nathanos said. Caregos' expression flashed strangely. He saw a bottle with red liquid under the feet of the wither, and suddenly remembered a question he ignored: How was the Focus Rainbow activated?

"What did you do to Teregosa?"

"If you want her to die, you can attack me."

Nathanos said a word that made Karegos stop the spell in his mouth, and the magic disappeared from his fingers, not only because he was worried about his sister, but more importantly, Azorksion stood beside the undead. Karegos did not think that Twilight Dragon would allow him to attack the Withering One. He heard it just now, and Azorksion called Nathanos "father".

"This thing is useless to me."

Caregus's expression became stiff. Focused rainbow drew an arc in the air and was thrown at his feet.

Aurelia blinked. In the past, in Kaudala, Teregosa had introduced her to the Rainbow of Focus, which was the most precious treasure of the Blue Dragon clan. The magic knowledge and arcane energy contained in it were inestimable at all. Such a treasure was thrown away by Nathanos like garbage. She didn't know what Carregos was thinking at the moment. The Regent could only see the incredible words on the Blue Dragon King's face.

"Get out with your stuff, Caregus. I'll smash it in your face next time I'll throw it."

"This magic weapon carries the mission of the Blue Dragon Clan, and you have no right to blaspheme." Karegoth silently recited the spell just now, and frost breath with arcane energy rushed to Nathanos.

The wither felt ripples appearing in his body, and Azeroth's heart was restless, allowing him to use this power.

No, it's not time yet.

Azorksion blocked him. Twilight Dragon's spell easily offset the Blue Dragon King's attack. He stretched out his hand and the half-elf-like man began to struggle in pain. He was lifted up, and the invisible force pinched his throat.

"You are no longer a weaver, Karegoth, but you think you can save the situation." Azorksion slowly exerted force, and just as he was about to end the life of the Blue Dragon King, Nathanos put his hand on his shoulder.

"Enough."

Karegos fell down and collapsed to the ground. He was already a defeated man, and Nathanos had no interest in him.

"Leave with the Focus Rainbow, Blue Dragon. You can't stop me, but maybe you can save your sister, as long as you want, recognize the future status of the Forgotten One."

Sweat fell from Caregus's forehead, and he didn't understand why Nathanos suddenly said this. The undead captured his sister and used the Focus Rainbow, but now he asked himself to admit the existence of the Forgotten.

What consequences will this cause?

"Your status? What's your status?" He asked, thinking wildly in his mind about what Nathanos was going to do.

"I still respect you guys who claim to be guarding the dragon, so I never intended to be enemies with you. But what you think is another matter." Nathanos smiled, "A choice. Not only you, but Alextasa, Isera, Norzdom, I can give you a choice, you can convey my meaning to them: the dragon can choose to be enemies with the Forgotten Ones, or maintain a neutral relationship with us. It depends on how you dragon kings decide. After you make a decision, please go to Altlan in person to tell me."

The wither walked to Caregus and whispered a few words to the Blue Dragon in front of everyone.

"This is simply a threat." Caregos stared at Nathanos fiercely. But the other party's scarlet eyes flashed with fire, as if there was a burning fire hidden inside, which could burn him alive.

"There has never been fair." said the Withering.

...

Sylvanas returned to his usual calmness in a silent breath. Her eyes had never left Nathanos's face. The changes in the other party were so wonderful, no different from when he was most energetic.

Her heart beats very quickly. Compared to the complicated expression of Aurelia, who is still motionless, she feels like she is unstable.

He saw Nathanos and Karegos say something to each other, and the unwilling blue dragon left the Mogu Courtyard with the Focus Rainbow helplessly.

"Odroksion, go to Twilight Heights and meet your mother."

"As for orders, father."

Twilight Dragon also left.

Nathanos turned to them.

"We are the only one left now," he said, without any unnecessary emotions in his words, and he was like a stranger to passers-by.

"What will you do?" he asked.

Sylvanas heard his sister's breathing becoming more and more rapid, and he made a sound first: "Nathanos, you..."

The female elf wanted to ask herself what to say? Should she say congratulations on her rebirth? At least Nathanos looked like this, but those eyes and his skin color still mean that he was a dead soul. Thinking of this, pain blocked her mouth again, and she couldn't say anything. Perhaps Aurelia was braver than her, so when her sister asked, she opened her eyes wide.

"Do you hate me, Nathanos?"

The Regent was waiting for the answer, but the Withered One did not answer, and silence suppressed her heart, and she was about to suffocate.

"Then are you afraid?" Nathanos pointed to a broken stone.

Aurelia recognized it as a rune stone and also knew that it was his fault for the accident in Quel'thalas.

"I'm scared." My lover's voice trembled, and I don't know how much effort it took to say those two words.

Will she beg for his forgiveness next? Nathanos knew that Aurelia would not do that.

"I regret it too. So..."

"The two most valuable words in the world are 'regret'." Nathanos interrupted her, "If I can regret it, I can do my best to stop Arthas from going to Northrend. If I can regret it, I will not be the one who was killed by Frost Sore. As long as I can regret it, how many people would die at Maris Farm?"

This passage silenced Aurelia, like a prisoner, waiting for the judge to announce the punishment for her.

"But I can also give you a choice, Aurelia." Nathanos pointed to a sword on the ground. The hilt was shining with light. Sylvanas recognized it as his weapon.

"I don't have weapons, but you have."

Aurelia's hand holding Sasdora trembled.

"You have another chance to kill me." Nathanos took two steps back and came to the best distance for the arrow shooting, which ensured that Aurelia's arrow could reach the maximum power. "If you choose to refuse, let me leave. The alliance and tribal camps on Thor Island will be immediately razed to the ground by my army."

No! Hearing the last sentence, Sylvanas shouted in her heart. The light green eyes wandered between Aurelia and Nathanos. The sister did not say a word, but Nathanos's words made her bite her lips.

"I die, or, others die." Nathanos's voice was as cold as winter. The female elf was struggling inside, and perhaps she had begun to regret coming to the Mogu Courtyard. But as he said, regret was meaningless.

The Regent of Quel'thalas raised his bow. Seeing this, Sylvanas put his hand on his sister's shoulder. Aurelia shrugged her shoulder vigilantly.

"Do you want to make the same mistake again?" Sylvanas asked in a low voice.

"You heard what he said just now." Aurelia narrowed her eyes, her voice neither sad nor happy. "If it were you, what would you do?"

"I would believe he is Nathanos."

Aurelia turned her head and looked at Sylvanas.

"He has not done anything to be sorry for you, nor has he done evil. When has your kingdom been attacked by the Forgotten?"

Sasdora also aimed at Nathanos, and the man who manipulated it fell into silence.

"Time is precious." The withered eyes looked like a torch, "I am waiting for your answer."

"Don't do anything you regret." Sylvanas whispered softly, and added softly: "Don't let me have another reason to hate you."

The arrow string buzzed through the air, and it should have carried a rapid and real bow and arrow that could bring death to Nathanos.

Aurelia slowly put down Sasdora, and a tremor spread throughout her body. She thought she had lost her husband forever in extreme pain. Everything should have been like this. At this moment, she had another chance to think about how she should treat Nathanos. She promised to make up for her debt to Nathanos.

Aurelia handed out the weapon, and she nodded. Sylvanas should have a lot to ask Nathanos, but the Regent could no longer respond to Nathanos, and he roared for fear that he could not control his emotions. She told herself that it took so many years to meet again. The unbearable past would be a scar. Nathanos was certainly dissatisfied with her, and saying a few words of venting anger and threatening words was no big deal. They were not ready to face each other, and no matter how many words they had to say in a suitable occasion and time, at least not in front of Thor's palace, nor today.

They will have a chance and will dismiss the misunderstanding.

The Regent turned and walked up the stairs and left the ritual place. Sylvanas held Sasdora's hand tightly and asked Nathanos with concern: "This is a good start, right?"
Chapter completed!
