In Cenarius Grove, two strangers collapsed under a large tree.
When the druids passed by, they happened to discover them and brought them to Cenarius's residence.
One of these two people was an elf with yellowish skin, and the other was a short Vrykul.
They understood Thalassian, one claiming to be Krasus, and the other claiming to be Rhonin.
Cenarius was a little puzzled; they were clearly not known intelligent creatures of this world.
So, he informed Gale, hoping that with Gale's extensive knowledge, he might know something.
Upon receiving the notification, Gale immediately rushed to Cenarius Grove.
After meeting Krasus and Rhonin, he finally knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.
"Hello, I am Gale Morninglight, Lord of Antu'dara."
Krasus and Rhonin exchanged glances; they had never heard the name Gale.
It was clear that in later generations, this elven lord did not exist.
Or, he existed, but Krasus had forgotten.
Krasus was a Red Dragon from ten thousand years in the future.
However, he still existed in this current time.
The Bronze Dragons King, Nozdormu, used time magic to send him back ten thousand years, but his presence in this timeline became an interference, causing him to lose some memories of the War of the Ancients.
Among them, this elven lord might have been included.
Gale smiled; he knew what these two time-travelers were thinking.
He wanted to tell them that he was not actually part of the history they were familiar with.
The timeline was ever-changing, and Gale's arrival would inevitably disrupt it, so the history understood by those who traveled back from ten thousand years later would certainly be inaccurate.
"You seem to have encountered some difficulties; do you need my help?"
Hearing Gale's words, the two snapped back to reality.
Krasus said, "We have indeed encountered difficulties, but it's a bit unbelievable, and you might not believe it."
"Why don't you tell us? Whether we believe it or not is up to us; whether you tell us or not is up to you," Gale said kindly.
Krasus hadn't expected such a response, but deep down, he wasn't confident he could convince the elven lord and the demigod Cenarius before him.
Because his words were truly alarmist.
However, Gale's words made it difficult for him to conceal anything.
He could only brace himself and say, "We detected some spatial anomalies in Sin'dorei, where a portal seems to have opened, and a dangerous aura is emanating from the other side of the portal."
Cenarius looked at Gale, "These two seem a bit delirious."
The Kaldorei Empire had been strong for several centuries, with magic that was brilliant and dazzling.
The powerful Kaldorei Empire not only possessed a large number of Archmages but also countless artifacts.
As a demigod, he dared not easily provoke the Kaldorei of Sin'dorei.
Gale shook his head, "Perhaps what they say is true."
Cenarius was stunned by the remark, "You think something is wrong with Sin'dorei?"
Gale nodded, "My subordinates reported to me that a large number of strange creatures have appeared in the Eternal Palace.
They do not use Arcane, but instead use an energy filled with evil aura.
They slaughtered the creatures around Sin'dorei and then brought them near the Well of Eternity… The only thing I can think of is that they are conducting a ritual."
He looked at Krasus and Rhonin, "If it's a teleportation ritual, it would make sense."
Cenarius frowned, "Gale, if this is truly the case, we might be in big trouble.
I think you should go to Sin'dorei to investigate."
"That's what I was thinking!"
Gale took out the Mage Tower's teleportation crystal and infused it with Arcane, but the portal could not be opened.
Cenarius was astonished, "How can you not open the portal?"
Gale said in a deep voice, "Someone has cut off the crystal's connection to the Well of Eternity."
Cenarius's expression was serious, "It seems something has indeed gone wrong with Sin'dorei; what do you plan to do?"
Gale waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I can open the portal even without the support of the Well of Eternity."
With that, he took out the eternal holy grail, drew Arcane Energy from it, and infused it into the teleportation crystal.
The portal immediately opened, and Gale flashed into it.
Krasus and Rhonin were not only amazed but also exclaimed, "Is the portal that easy to open?"
Cenarius asked curiously, "Aren't you all like this? For an Archmage, this is just a basic spell."
Watching Rhonin's puzzled expression, Krasus explained softly, "You might not understand, but the Well of Eternity contains a vast amount of energy, so mages ten thousand years ago could open portals anytime, anywhere."
Rhonin looked at the portal enviously, "The Well of Eternity is truly powerful."
Cenarius tilted his head and looked at the two; these two were too strange, as if they had never seen an Archmage cast a teleportation spell.
But these two were wearing mage robes, so they shouldn't have not seen it!
Just as the three were lost in their own thoughts, a group of soldiers appeared in the portal.
They were the Alpha Squad; more than a hundred years ago, the Alpha Squad was stationed in Sin'dorei, becoming the most elite part of the city defense force.
Their appearance here now indicated that something had indeed gone wrong with Sin'dorei.
Cenarius walked near the portal, and as soon as Carlos emerged from it, he immediately asked, "What happened in Sin'dorei?"
Carlos's expression was serious, "Lord Cenarius, Gale asked me to tell you that a crisis has emerged in this world.
He wants you to contact Lord Malorne as soon as possible; Azeroth needs the help of a demigod."
Before Cenarius could press further, Metri and Karna also emerged from the portal.
Krasus and Rhonin saw Metri's staff and immediately exclaimed, "aluneth?"
Metri raised an eyebrow, "You recognize my staff?"
"Your staff?" Rhonin looked at the elf before him in surprise, a bit slow to recover.
Krasus then asked, "Are you Lord Metri?"
It was Metri's first time being called 'Lord' by a stranger, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "You know me? I don't seem to have met you."
Krasus realized his slip of the tongue and quickly said, "I come from a small place and have heard rumors about you and aluneth."
"Is that so?" Metri looked at him playfully.
Since he finished creating aluneth, he had not revealed it to anyone outside; the only ones who knew the name aluneth were the Blue Dragon and Gale.
Therefore, he easily determined that the elven mage before him was lying.
At this moment, Karna said in a deep voice, "Lord Cenarius, Queen Azshara has built a teleportation array on the Well of Eternity, and countless creatures from other worlds are emerging from it.
They have already deceived Queen Azshara and have begun slaughtering creatures near Sin'dorei.
Both animals and Kaldorei have been massacred by them!"
Cenarius exclaimed in shock, "How could this be?"
