(The city of Orgrimmar…)

Spiritwalker Ebonhorn: “The Aspect will be pleased that the Council has accepted their invitation. The Dragon Isles hold great wonders… and many perils.”

Mayla Highmountain: “Those who answer the call will face whatever challenges may come.”

Nitazar: (nods) “Hmph.”

Baine Bloodhoof: “The strength of the horde has always been its people.”

Spiritwalker Ebonhorn: “I am heartened to hear it. But know that the Dragon Queen will not abide conflict on her shores.”

Baine Bloodhoof: “The Horde honors its truce with the Alliance.”

Nitazar: (mind) “Alliance…? Does he mean…the Obsidian Warders?”

Baine Bloodhoof: “To that end, the Reliquary will work together with the Explorers’ League on an expedition of discovery.”

Naleidea Rivergleam: “I expect we will learn much from one another.”

Nitazar: (mind) “Something’s bothering me about this ‘Naledia’ lady’s stomach.”

Scalecommander Cindrethresh: “Do not forget, Ebyssian, that the Dragon Isles are home to the dracthyr as well. We intend to rediscover our past… and lay claim to our future.”

Mayla Highmountain: “Then let our peoples make this journey together, Cindrethresh.”

Scalecommander Cindrethresh: “Agreed. Along the way, we can hone your combat skills… despite your obvious lack of wings.”

Spiritwalker Ebonhorn: “I see there is much work ahead of us. Come then. The Dragon Isles await!”

(As the Horde leaders - accompanied as Ebyssian [as Spiritwalker Ebonhorn] and Nitazar - make their way to the portal room, Naledia looks down at her stomach and puts her hand on it; almost lovingly.)

Naleidea Rivergleam: (whispering to herself) “Stay safe, you two… I hope you grow up to be powerful blood elves like me.”

(Seven months later, following the expedition…)

(Naledia sits in the nursery, rubbing her belly lovingly. She smiles, eagerly awaiting the day she meets her twins.)

Naleidea Rivergleam: (softly) “My little ones, I cannot wait to meet you both. May you bring joy and happiness to our family, and may you grow up to be strong and mighty like your mother. I will always be here to protect and guide you, my precious blood elves.”

(Just then, Scalecommander Cindrethresh enters the room.)

Scalecommander Cindrethresh: “Ah, Naleidea. I heard the news. Congratulations on your impending motherhood.”

Naleidea Rivergleam: (smiling) “Thank you, Cindrethresh. I’m excited and a little nervous, but I know I’ll do my best for them.”

Scalecommander Cindrethresh: “I have no doubt. The journey to the Dragon Isles may have been treacherous, but it has brought much growth and opportunity to our people.”

Naleidea Rivergleam: “Indeed, it has. I feel grateful to have been a part of it. And to have found a partner like Nitazar, who shares my love for this world and our future children.”

Scalecommander Cindrethresh: “You’ve both been invaluable assets to the Horde and the Reliquary. Your dedication and knowledge have contributed greatly to our discoveries on the Dragon Isles.”

Naleidea Rivergleam: “Thank you, Cindrethresh. It means a lot coming from you. I’ve learned so much from the dracthyr and the Horde, and I hope to pass that knowledge on to our children.”

Scalecommander Cindrethresh: “No doubt they will inherit your intelligence, strength, and passion. They will be fortunate to have you as their mother.”

Naleidea Rivergleam: “I hope so, Cindrethresh. I’ll do everything in my power to ensure their well-being and happiness.”

Scalecommander Cindrethresh: “I have no doubt about that. The Horde is stronger than ever, and with young blood like yours, our future is bright.”

Naleidea Rivergleam: (gasps) “-!”

Scalecommander Cindrethresh: “Naleidea, what’s wrong? Are you alright?”

Naleidea Rivergleam: (holding her belly) “I-I-I think
