On a hill in the highlands of eastern Kalimdor, there is a grove of trees whose leaves blossom blood-red all the year long. Nestled in their roots and shaded by their mighty branches is the clutch of the Aspect of the red dragonflight, Alexstrasza the Life-binder, Dragonqueen. She reaches out to caress her eggs with a slim hand modeled on the elves who have their kingdoms to the west. They will hatch soon, she knows.
Yay! Mission success!
She cuddles Kelt in celebration of this achievement, sending more lovelovelove at her.
Ranaex likes being so well liked! And being helpful! She's learning lots of new things and making lots of new friends and everything is pretty great!
The beavers taken care of and Kelt properly snuggled, she chirps a goodbye and flies off to go see how Mom is doing. Is that weird strangely colored dragon still there?
Oh, all right then. That's a bit of a disappointment, but there's weird time stuff going on, so she'll probably find out when she's older. She can still find Mom so she gets good and snuggled!
"Hi Mom! The beavers have been moved! Where'd the yellow dragon go, and actually why were they yellow, are lots of dragons yellow?"
"Of the five main dragonflights, each was given responsibility for a part of the world by the Titans, who shaped Azeroth when it was young, because I and four others did them a great service. To Neltharion and the blacks, the earth, its substance and form. To Malygos and the blues, magic and all its uses. To Ysera and the greens, nature and all growing things. To Nozdormu and the bronzes, time and its conservation. And to me and my reds, they set the task of protecting all life, dragon and mortal alike."
"I try very hard, but I'm little and don't know enough and things don't occur to me! I want to be better at it."
"Yes. So I just need to wait and explore and help with things and I'll learn a lot!!" She gives a little happy squeak and snuggles closer into Mom.
Later arrives eventually, as laters are wont to do. Ask any bronze and they'll tell you all about it, though you will need to set aside a while of your immediate later. Actually on second thought, it would be better to not ask a bronze and just take it as read.
The dragonshrine is too far for Ranaex to fly on her own, so she can ride on her mother.
