The moment Vereesa had returned to Dalaran with the little belongings they had left behind on the wastes of Northrend, along with a few stragglers who chose to accompany her rather than remain stuck upon the continent, she remained rather silent. After announcing her return to Jaina, who swiftly proceeded with her actions of moving the floating city to their new location (wherever that may have been), Vereesa simply kept to herself - attending to business that only directly concerned her and only if it was of utmost importance. After all… she had a lot to ponder on.
Yet such pondering could only last so long, and it appeared that five days had come and gone relatively quickly; something she was most glad of. It was on that day that she finally made herself known to people, or more so a person, whom she would need now more than any other being in the world
A heavy burden, and an unknown one at that.
“I need a portal to Light’s Dawn,” She spoke to the passerby; a mage in training, with a speciality for such mechanics. Vereesa watched as their face contorted with curiosity, and it took a mere raise of her eyebrow for her to elaborate. “if you please would be so kind as to do that for me, of course.” It was her gentle words that finally got the request, and soon she found herself landing in the Plaguelands, just opposite the entrance to Light’s Dawn; a place where such tyranny once stood, tall and proud of himself… until he was shut down.
Yet that was not her focus at that point. Instead, she put her hood up to cover her face completely and began to travel eastward; away from the safe haven and into territory that belonged to creatures whom she knew not. Moving quickly, she travelled across the grassy knolls until reaching the borders to the Ghostlands; their beloved Quel’Thalas. She had walked upon it once - when it was alive and fresh - and now before her were only hues of rusted orange and dark, charcoal blacks that scarred the landscape she once so adored. A soft sigh escaped her, yet she had no time for those memories.
Sylvanas was surely waiting - she could sense the change in the air. As her feet crunched upon the dead leaves she could sense a presence watching her; a being with red eyes, though they did not attack. They were simply watching; stalking the scene. The tactics of a ranger, she knew that well and truly, but Vereesa was not so silly as to try and hunt the being down. One who was trained by Sylvanas, after all, would be almost impossible to detect to begin with.
So she walked; albeit with caution. Though she relaxed somewhat too - simply knowing that she was being watched by the right people put her at relative ease, though she remained covered; her temperance unaffected by the changes she endured now. How she ended up in the situation where she would have to sneak into her own homeland was beyond her - completely and utterly - and though anger attempted to engulf her, she allowed it to subside for the sake of her sister.
A few more minutes of travelling had her appearing at the entrance to the Sanctum; undisturbed and unattended by any living being and yet Vereesa could sense that her sister was there; waiting as she always did. With soft steps, Vereesa approached until she found herself beneath the archway, and before Sylvanas once more. Again, she was taken aback - still not quite used to seeing her, and especially not in such a place as this. A soft, deep breath was exhaled before she finally reached up and lifted her hood, allowing it to fall beside her.
“I’m impressed,” She admitted softly. “I didn’t realise how respected you were, even now.” As she spoke, she took a few steps closer, clearing her throat as she attempted another soft smile. “It’s good to see you, sister. I’m glad you came.”
