"My—Star."
This address.
This nickname, which belonged only to them and hadn't been heard for thousands of years.
It pierced Malygos's chaotic sea of consciousness!
"Sindragosa?" Malygos's voice trembled uncontrollably, filled with disbelief, fear, and a faint glimmer of hope.
His body stopped writhing, and arcane light flickered violently on his scales.
The madness in his turbid dragon eyes gradually faded, revealing the deep blue that once belonged to the Weaver.
Sindragosa's figure was clearly reflected in those deep blue vertical pupils, like the ocean.
"Is—it you?"
"Is it really you? Not—an illusion? Not—those hateful hallucinations?!"
At this moment, Malygos was like a drowning man who had just clutched his only piece of driftwood, appearing so fragile.
"It's me." Sindragosa took a few steps forward, her dragon claws stepping on the broken crystals, making crisp sounds, each step firm and steady.
"I have returned, Malygos. From lonely death and resentment—brought back to your side."
Her gaze swept over the chaotic scene of The Nexus, over the Blue Dragons who had been thrown back and were struggling to get up, finally resting back on Malygos, a sharp glint flashing deep in her dragon eyes.
"Look at this place, my Star."
"Look at our Nexus, look at our people. Is this—what you wanted? To let chaos consume everything? To let suffering be eternal?"
Malygos followed her gaze and saw the chaotic scene.
Pain and confusion enveloped him once more.
"No…it's not that I can't control it—the past was too painful—" He growled in agony, his head shaking helplessly, arcane energy showing signs of erupting again.
Just then, Sindragosa moved.
She didn't charge at Malygos, but instead fiercely raised a foreclaw and, facing the area of twisted arcane currents in front of Malygos, which was distorted by his uncontrolled power, she pressed down in mid-air!
Buzz!
A surge of arcane energy erupted from Sindragosa's claw.
This power transformed into a web, instantly enveloping the chaotic arcane currents.
Under the shocked gaze of Senergos and the other Blue Dragons, the chaotic energy, on the verge of exploding, began to become orderly again under Sindragosa's guidance!
The storm was smoothed into tranquil energy threads, twisted spatial folds were forcibly straightened, and piercing shrieks vanished into nothingness.
In just a few breaths, the raging arcane energy in that area was reconfigured into a stable, pure arcane field!
"Malygos," Sindragosa's voice rang out again, "Knowledge is power, not a lock. The ley lines are a river, not a storm. Do not let magic control your will. Remember your duty, my Star. Remember who you are!"
These words, like morning and evening bells, accompanied by that familiar arcane reconstruction, slammed into Malygos's chaotic heart!
"I…I am…" Malygos's body trembled again.
He stared intently at Sindragosa, madness and reason fiercely battling in his dragon eyes.
Finally, when Sindragosa's sapphire eyes, filled with worry and anticipation, were clearly imprinted deep within his soul, a power from the deepest part of his soul finally erupted!
"Roar—!"
A roar, containing pain, struggle, and finally breaking through the chains, echoed throughout The Nexus!
Malygos's previously dim scales finally glowed with an ethereal blue light again.
Although his aura was still weak, and his eyes still held traces of exhaustion and trauma.
But the majesty of a Dragon Aspects, controlling all magic, had finally returned to him!
"My—my love…" Malygos's head slowly lowered, the madness in his dragon eyes gradually dissipating, replaced by the ecstasy of having found what was lost.
He knelt, like a fledgling dragon learning to walk, taking one step, then another, towards Sindragosa.
His dragon wings trembled, wanting to open for an embrace, yet also showing a hint of fear of losing her again.
Sindragosa went to him.
Two dragons, who had endured life and death, separation, and traversed a thousand years, finally, in the center of the shattered Nexus, under the excited and disbelieving gaze of the other Blue Dragons, slowly and with immense reverence, pressed their heads together.
Their dragon scales rubbed against each other; there were no more words, only companionship and solace for each other.
Malygos's thousands of years of suppressed pain and longing finally found an outlet, and a low whimper rumbled in his throat.
Senergos watched this scene from afar.
Complex light also flickered in his dragon eyes.
Joy, relief, a sense of unburdening, and a deeper apprehension and gratitude towards the Dragon of Radiance hidden behind the scenes.
Sindragosa's return was not just the reunion of lovers, but also the rekindling of the spark of order and hope for the Blue Dragonflight, which was on the verge of collapse.
"Alright, my Star," Sindragosa spoke again, her unique, coolly gentle tone returning, "We still have much to do."
"The Blue Dragonflight needs its Dragon Aspects to truly return."
"Please do not be lost and hesitant anymore. No matter how difficult the road ahead, I will be by your side."
She raised her head, her gaze sweeping over the still-shattered Nexus, over the excited Blue Dragons, finally settling on Senergos.
She nodded slightly to him.
"Uncle Senergos," Sindragosa said to Senergos, "and the being who brought me back, thank you for everything you have done."
Senergos took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and nodded solemnly in return.
The price they paid—now, it seemed, was not entirely unacceptable.
Sindragosa continued to comfort Malygos, whose emotions were still somewhat turbulent.
The Blue Dragon King's head nestled tightly against Sindragosa, clearly confirming the reality of this regained presence.
Senergos and the other Blue Dragons began to clear the scattered crystal fragments on the platform and re-sort and guide the core ley line energy.
Order was slowly being re-established.
After an unknown amount of time, under Sindragosa's gentle comforting and guidance, Malygos finally regained his calm.
When Senergos cautiously mentioned the rebuilding of the Blue Dragonflight and the name of that eternal nightmare—Neltharion—Malygos's massive body suddenly stiffened.
Deep hatred, mixed with a hint of unconcealed fear, instantly erupted in his dragon eyes.
"…Neltharion," Malygos's voice was hoarse, "my most trusted friend, his betrayal…destroyed us."
The images of his kin instantly annihilated by the Dragon Soul once again stung his nerves.
Sindragosa gently rubbed Malygos with the side of her neck, not mentioning phrases like "I told you so" to provoke her mate, but instead injected a peaceful stream of mana into his body, helping him stabilize his mind.
Then, she looked at Senergos, signaling him to continue.
Senergos took a deep breath, his tone grave: "Neltharion's threat has never disappeared; he lurks in the shadows, brewing greater madness."
"But for now, the Blue Dragonflight's top priority is to regroup its strength and restore order."
He paused, not dwelling too much on reconstruction details, and cut directly to the core issue: "And Sindragosa's return was not without a price."
Malygos suddenly raised his head, a trace of offended anger in his dragon eyes: "A price? Who dares to demand a price from the Blue Dragonflight?!"
"The Dragon of Radiance, Obsidian." Senergos's voice was steady, "It was he who reversed life and death, bringing Sindragosa back from death. In exchange, he proposed three conditions."
Under Malygos's suppressed anger and Sindragosa's calm gaze, Senergos clearly recounted the heavy contract. "One hundred dragon eggs?!" Malygos's roar rang out again, arcane energy surging uncontrollably around his body, making the recently stabilized space around him hum!
