sometimes you can't make it

Who: Alexstrasza, Krasus/Korialstrasz, and the Redsworn
What: Successful retreat into the Ruby Sanctum
Where: Ruby Sanctum
When: After a long, grueling battle near the borders of Suramar
Warnings: Please PM the mods if any warnings are needed

[The Ruby Sanctum is a flurry of activity. This becomes clear within two seconds of stepping through the portal. The wounded are guided over to a grassy clearing surrounded by saplings and adolescent trees, bade to lay down and receive healing from other dragonkin. Some of the trees are years old, while a few look to have shot up recently. If you watch, vines engulf one fallen warrior; the body sinks into the ground, and a tiny sapling appears in its place.

Despite the war going on outside, the sanctum is less of a cavern and more like a self-contained dimension. Ample sunlight drifts down through scarlet leaves, which are occasionally home to the crimson scales of a whelpling. There is life everywhere: insects on twigs, birds chirping overhead, flowers at your feet. Dragon eggs lay nestled in the nooks and crannies offered by the tranquil forest. There is a decently-sized spring filled with fresh, pure water, as well as some small rocky outcroppings to sleep in. It's warm and comfortable enough to rest out in the open, too.

The cloaked and ever-mysterious Krasus stands watching the dispersing redsworn, his back against the massive oak in the center of the sanctum.

Occasionally, one may glimpse a beautiful red-haired woman with copper skin winding through the copse.]

The question stings, and she has to focus to keep herself from wincing. It's only after she asks that she realizes how completely childish her inquiry is. They have their reasons, whatever or however strange they might be. All that should matter is her role, regardless of time or place.

Vindicator. Protector. Demon-slayer.

This is not the Azeroth she knows, but she's been called here to do battle with her sworn enemy. That is all that should matter, and it should not take the words of this woman to remind her of that duty.

She bows her head again. "I understand now. Thank you."

"Worry not. Time has been slowed significantly in your world to delay the Burning Legion."

In short, not much life will be lost there if they can stop them here in time. Just how much time do they have is unknown even to Alexstrasza.

"We will stop them."
