your hands protect the flames

Who: The Dragonsworn
What: The first arrival of the Dragonsworn goes a bit...awry.
Where: Scattered around the perimeter of Suramar.
When: Dawn on March 21st
Warnings: Please PM the mods if any warnings are needed

It is almost as if you've woken from a daydream when the ground meets your feet. The stench of fire is overpowering, and though dawn is just approaching in the canopies of Kalimdor, bright flashes of green can be seen between the branches of impossibly tall trees. If that doesn't snap you out of your surprise, then the sound of nearby spitting in demonic tongue may persuade you to get a grip and notice your surroundings -- you are not alone. There are others like you, huddled just a bit too close, with a somewhat familiar face keeping you from advancing further. Looking down at your hands may briefly reveal a momentary flash of color, but nothing lasting more than a few seconds.

The mages of each flight take the helm of their charges, and they are quick to notice any movement from their groups despite channeling some sort of spell to keep you protected. Stray fire will bounce off an invisible shield that ripples when anything make contact with it. There seems to be nothing in sight but your new comrades, and your guardian -- at least not on the ground. The sky has flying demons swarming a pack of dragons -- and the dragons are very clearly losing. Look just a bit farther, and you might find more dragons, though these clearly have different colored scales than the ones above your head.

While distracted, you may hear your guardian speak to you. "There may yet be wounded nearby -- if you care to, bring them here, and we will tend to them from the Sanctum." Briefly, they gesture skyward, toward the dragons flying overhead. "Do not bring to us any that are not our own, lest you invite their demise!"

But the mage is focused on casting -- they are in no position to halt your advance, and they know it. They speak with concern -- concern for you, concern for the dire situation at hand. The demonic cackling is drawing near. The forests are rapidly becoming overrun, and there are already a few dragons slain on the forest floor.

"Take care, Dragonsworn -- I am bringing us to safety, but it will take time. To wander far is to invite your ruin, and we cannot afford the loss of your life."

[OOC: You are free to mingle on this post as you choose, despite the flight groups being scattered through the forests around Suramar -- after this log, you will be separated into your sanctums, and your interactions will be watched much more closely. Attempting to enter the city itself will result in a vicious attack from demons that will kill. The Dragon Mages will be tagging sporadically to heroes of their matching flight, and the conclusion of this log will lead Dragonsworn through portals to their Sanctums.]

"Do not thank me just yet," he replies, returning his focus to his spellwork. "We do not yet know if this cosmic gamble will pay off."

Cosmic gamble? What an odd turn of phrase. She pushes it to the side, assuming that Krasus is speaking figuratively.

"When we have the chance, would it be possible to summon a portal to the Exodar? I am also compelled to report this invasion to the Hand," she asks him, looking back over he shoulder. Assuming that the dragonmage speaks figuratively isn't the only assumption that she's made today - as far as she knows, this is still her Azeroth.

Figuratively? Sort of. Sort of literally, too. They are only borrowing time, after all. Her request, however simple, earns a slight shake of his head; it isn't that he's unwilling to send her wherever she needs. Actually--

"That will be difficult. You have been brought to the War of the Ancients— thousands of years before Draenor's corruption and subsequent destruction."

Vas blinks, eyes wide as saucers. "I... you..." she stammers, the shock turning her tongue into a clumsy lump of muscle.

Thousands of years. Thousands of years before the crystal-ship landed on Draenor. Thousands of years before her parents met. Thousands of years with the Legion still pursuing her people, having not found them yet.

Thousands of years, back to an Azeroth that has never known the Draenei.

Her jaw hangs open stupidly, and she's unable to formulate any sort of articulate response.

Krasus glances at her, seeing her shock. She might have some trouble due to being a cousin of the eredar. He'll have to keep an eye on her.

"This Azeroth and your Azeroth have some fundamental differences. They will become clear in time. For now, we can only fight for and protect each other."
