Daily Writing Challenge - Day 7 "Charity/Soul"

Through the eye of bronze dragon, the world was as intended. There were little to no changes in the way events played out. Zachromu, a bronze who was gifted more than his kin, regarded the struggles and suffering of mortals with utmost discipline. Yet... in his heart a strange guilt hung over his mind. He hadn't heard the footsteps of Skuldormu's approach, but the older bronze took a seat next to him as he overlooked the city of Stormwind. "Why is it that the mortals draw you so?" Skuldormu inquires this as he raises a cup full of coffee. His eyes trained onto Zachromu as if any motion he would make would break the very spectrum of order.

Zachromu took a moment to think over his thoughts, even though the answers had been recited in various ways. It was strange how the threads of fate began to unravel into different paths and outcomes. He could say simply, because he wanted to or that it was a part of his destiny. But the truth was he had felt so sorry for what he was forbidden to alter or prevent. Even the youngest whelps of Nozdormu's brood understood the implications of involving themselves when they shouldn't.

"You know as well as I do, that my involvement is imperative to the order of the timeline." He said this as if it had mentioned it before. Which he might have at one point or another.

Skuldormu lowered his mug and shook his head. "Do you find what you do an act of kindness or charity to the mortals?"

Zachromu gave a sad but small smile. "You know me too well. It's in my soul that I was given this privilege for the betterment of others."

"This is but one of the traits I find myself drawn to. You know that it does put you in danger as well though?"

"You know we can not escape our fate. We die to the cause we serve."

TMI Tuesday: Write a drabble where Alicion and Eraz are 'loving' partners. (We both know the world would end before that ever happened)

Chrono-Paradox

As far as events go, everything happened according to the grand plan of time. Except on this occasion, where the infinite dragon, Erazeran found a perfect loophole in which to intercept the blue dragoness, Kelzygosa.

Post the Nexus Wars, she was making her way to the land of Quel’thalas, preparing her mind for a plan that would ultimately subjugate her to the needs and whims of mortals. This was not acceptable to the Infinite, who possessed the very evidence she would need to refute such a life. Just as she was nearing the shores of Quel’thalas, his claws grazed against hers as he harkened her with a cautionary roar. 

Hissing back at the blackened dragon, the blue steadied herself and regarded the lone time traveler. “You came alone? How foolish of you to think you could take me on!” 

“I didn’t come here to fight, I came here to talk.” Erazeran’s tone reverberated much like the echoing voices of Temporus and the other infiinite dragons. “Let me show you what you’re about to walk into, if that’s really the life you want to live.”

A golden gateway appeared behind Erazeran as the golden tether merged within his back. “You will need to let me hold onto you, otherwise you could be lost to the parallel universes of Azeroth.”

Kelzygosa’s snout rippled with visible distrust, but given the outcome and loss of her beloved Aspect - she was still uncertain what course to take. Drawing nearer to the male dragon, she felt his claws latch on beneath her forearms. It wasn’t anything that was meant to hurt, but to provide security for their travels.

Moving through space had been one thing, but time added another element to the sensation. Insight. Moving through the world and careening at a pace near light-speed, she was able to ingest the various scenes that would unravel her life. First, she would integrate herself within the society of elves. Following that, she would make an effort to collect artifacts in the world and discover the life of Iados Valanthius.

From there she would embark on a journey with him - to uncover the real demon he was. Enthralled by the suffering she would face, she shifted in the timeway - certain that such a fate would not be condoned so ignorantly! But there was more.

Following this included encounters with Auvrearnith, Calron, the Exsanguinators, Terelagos, and Dawnwatch. So many outcomes and most resulted poorly, including the destruction of Deathwing. Observing the choices of the Aspects and Kalec’s foolhardy suggestion to use the Focusing Iris to power the Dragon Soul, she was disappointed and perturbed that such a life wait for her. 

Bereft with primal emotions, Erazeran steered Kelzygosa from the timeways and allowed her to accept the facts as presented. Heated with outright fury, she sneered at Erazeran. 

“You say this awaits me?!” Her tone sought to challenge the other dragon, but he remained uninterested with such a notion. 

“It will if you decide to follow that course of destiny. And I believe we are about to have some unhappy visitors.”

The bronze whom approached in question, was none other than Zachromu. His age was not clearly defined as the timeways gave birth to his presence before Kelzygosa and Erazeran. But judging by his size, he was certainly mature - and powerful alone.

But unlike most cases involving the Bronze Wardens, Zachromu steered his gaze towards Kelzygosa. “I have come to advise you, Kelzygosa, that accepting a new destiny will hold far worse repercussions than you’ve been exposed to by Erazeran.” 

The Infinite chuckled lightly, and carried his focus to the blue dragoness in question. She had not appeared responsive to Zachromu’s warning. It was a lot to take in for such a short amount of time and exposure. But despite this, she had just come from a war - and that very battle had shaped her perspective enough to accept deception and do anything to change the outcome. 

The golden portal remained open and inviting to the blue dragoness. And as she stalled, the Infinite and Bronze began to move - anticipating the decision she reached without speaking. Claw struck against scale as Erazeran and Zachromu began their battle. As Kelzygosa blinked towards the entry of Erazeran’s portal - her posture was stopped by the spell in place from Zachromu. 

“YOU WILL NOT SAVE MALYGOS IF YOU GO IN THERE! YOU WILL ONLY INDULGE ON THE MADNESS THAT SHAPED NELTHARION INTO DEATHWING!”

Erazeran bit at Zachromu’s neck, as the two continued their fight in the air. The spell gradually began to wane on the blue dragoness as she continued her path into the portal. 

But everything that once existed in a firm reality now began to skew. The moons that held high in the sky began to rise and fall at rapid rates that were unnatural and surreal to the changes of the world beneath her. There was no grasping her place in the timeways as she descended through the alternate timelines. Such pressure caused her to lose semblance of understanding, but she still sought to pursue her original purpose. 

To stop the Dragon Queen from killing Malygos. At some point, the shadow of the time appeared beside her. A claw reaching to grasp along her azure scales and lead her to the destination proper. Glancing up at Erazeran, he appeared unhurt, but he was suited to combat against a Bronze she reasoned.

“I have the means for you to succeed in this little plan of yours, Kelzygosa. And might I say, it’s quite excellent. It’s almost as if you were a chronomancer yourself.”

Pleased with the appraisal, the blue dragon nodded. She hadn’t even shared her plan to the Infinite, but it was clear that her goal was something that resonated over the timeways - shaking the very foundation of their chaotic order. 

But with Erazeran’s help, it was clear that she was only working her way to a quicker demise. One that would forever change the events on Azeroth and lead to another blue dragon lost to the world. 

Mentions: @iadosvalanthius @auvrearnith @tyrandae AND MORE :D

@the-inept-mistweaver - thanks for the ask XD I could have added more, but I’ll keep the idea a secret. Might be something to play with some day. HAHAHA
