I traveled through time and space and became the Archbishop of Stormwind!

The biting cold wind whistled in my ears, mixed with the coolness of Mount Hyjal and the fragrance of the vibrant grass and trees in Felwood.

Alvin and his companions were soaring above the vast sky of the Kalimdor continent, with mountains and valleys undulating like green waves passing by at high speed.

Akalitrassa's scales shone with a warm, red-gold luster in the sunlight. She stretched out her strong, powerful wings, and each steady flap stirred up a powerful air current, pushing them eastward.

Shandris sat firmly at the front, her long brown braids dancing in the wind.

Her sharp eyes scanned the ever-changing scenery below, and her voice pierced through the wind: "Look, after passing Hyjal, the spine of the world, and heading south, the terrain becomes much flatter, mostly low-lying valleys and rolling hills."

"Indeed!"

Akalitasa's energetic voice rang out from the front of the crowd like a resounding bell.

"It feels so great to glide from high up all the way down! The air currents are holding us up, and we barely have to flap our wings!"

She even adjusted the angle of her wings with a sense of satisfaction, allowing her huge body to gracefully cut into a rising warm current, and let out a low moan of satisfaction.

Elwin, Green Shadow, and Shandris sat on the back of the little red dragon, and the blue dragon mage sat behind them.

Compared to that group of unfortunate Twilight's Hammer cultists, Alvin and his companions felt much more comfortable having a powerful and reliable friend like the little red dragon.

Ordinary people usually need to travel through mountains and rivers, risk encountering wild beasts and bad weather and take a difficult journey of several days or even weeks. But under the wings of a dragon, it is just a few powerful flaps of the wings.

Under the precise guidance of Shandris, the walking map, they set out from above the tranquil amber lake in Moonglade and headed east.

Soon, they passed through the northern part of Felwood and then entered the eastern part of Ashenvale.

Unlike the forest in Alvin's memory that was cut down by orcs and corrupted by fel energy, the eastern part of Ashenvale Forest was now bathed in the golden afternoon sunlight, presenting a primitive and magnificent vitality.

Ancient trees, with gnarled branches and thick mosses and vines, shimmered clear streams like silver chains through the forest. Occasionally, flocks of forest elves could be seen gliding gracefully among the treetops, or enormous owlkin lazily basking in the sun in the clearings. The air was filled with the scent of moist earth, the fragrance of pine needles, and the aroma of wildflowers, devoid of any trace of demonic contamination.

“So beautiful…”

Alvin couldn't help but murmur in admiration.

This was completely different from the Ashenvale he remembered, which had become gloomy and terrifying after the invasion of the Burning Legion and was occupied by Satyrs and orcs.

Green Shadow sat behind him and found that Alvin was staring at the scenery on the ground in a daze. He reached out his hand and gently and naturally helped Alvin comb his hair that was messed up by the strong wind.

"What are you thinking about, Alvin? This forest seems to have struck a chord with you."

Alvin came back to his senses, a smile playing on his face.

"Nothing much. I just feel that this scene before me, full of vitality and tranquility, reminds me of my fiefdom in Eversong Woods in the Eastern Kingdoms. I wonder what it's like there now."

He paused and looked towards the southeast.

"I also miss Caponia Soranlian and the others, as well as Turalyon, Khadgar, Trollbane... and everyone in Dalaran."

Green Shadow nodded in understanding.

"Yes, I can feel your longing for them. I believe they are all well and will be able to return home from the Outlands soon. Moreover, once we have dealt with things here, recovered the fragments, and defeated the enemy, we will all be able to reunite soon."

"I miss Sister Onyxia too!"

Akalitassa's cheerful voice interrupted, "Although she can be intimidating with her stern face sometimes, those sparkling gems she brought me are so beautiful! And of course, the fighting techniques she taught me are also very useful!"

Hearing this, Alvin couldn't help but burst into laughter, and his laughter was carried far away in the wind.

"Oh? Our little red dragon is no longer afraid of your black dragon sister?"

He jokingly said,

"I remember it clearly. The first time I saw her incarnation as Lady Katrana Prestor, a certain brave little dragon was so frightened that he cowered under the covers of his inn room, not daring to even show the tip of his tail. He didn't dare go out for several days!"

"Oh! Brother Alvin! Don't say that!"

Akalissa's huge body seemed to twist in the air, and it let out a coquettish dragon roar, and even its flying trajectory shook slightly.

Shandris, sitting in the front, listened to the three people behind her chatting and laughing in a relaxed and tacit understanding, especially the natural intimacy between Alvin and Green Shadow and the family-like playfulness with the little red dragon. An indescribable feeling of bitterness and alienation once again surged in her heart.

She felt like an outsider who didn't fit in and couldn't join in their shared topics and memories.

The Sentinel General pursed his lips, his elegant jawline was tense, and his expression, which had been slightly relaxed due to the flight, became stern again. He just stared ahead silently, pretending to be concentrating on performing his duties as a navigator.

The attentive Green Shadow quickly noticed the subtle changes in Shandris's mood.

She leaned over to Shandris through Alwyn and suggested gently, "Shandris, once everything settles down, why don't you come with us to the Eastern Kingdoms? It's completely different from Kalimdor. It's a land of humans, dwarves, and gnomes, with towering spires, vast workshops roaring with steam, and bustling markets brimming with new and exciting things."

Shandris' heart moved slightly, but she habitually uttered stiff words.

She snorted coldly without looking back.

"I am very different from the respected Lord Elwynn. I am the Sentinel General, charged with the defense of Teldrassil. How can I be as carefree and unrestrained as you, free to go wherever you please? Moreover, the two continents are separated by a vast ocean. Even a dragon flying at full speed would take days. How could it be so easy?"

Alvin turned around and continued the conversation with a sincere smile on his face.

"Alas, esteemed General Shandris, you may not know this. Have I not told you yet? One of my fiancées, Lady Calpurnia Starwish, is an exceptionally talented mage!"

"Especially in the field of spatial magic, her attainments are unparalleled! She can even deploy a teleportation array from the distant Outlands back to the continent of Azeroth! Therefore, setting up a stable teleportation array between my territory and Teldrassil that can travel back and forth instantly should not be a problem for her."

He winked at Shandris.

"So, if you want to visit my home and experience the charm of the Eastern Continent in the future, all you have to do is step into the magic circle and you'll be there in a flash! Faster than a dragon! I'll put the exit in my bedroom..."

"Go...to your house?!"

Shandris's cheeks were instantly lit up by the sunset, and her deep purple skin showed a distinct blush that spread all the way to her pointed ears.

She turned her head suddenly, her silver eyes widened, as if she was angry and embarrassed.

"I...I have nothing better to do than go to your house? And, why should I go to your bedroom...bedroom!!"

Her voice was a little incoherent because of panic.

Alvin looked at her embarrassed and cute appearance, and laughed even more happily, deliberately teasing her: "What do you think? Of course it's because -" He dragged out his tone,

"My cat can do somersaults! I invite you to watch my cat perform somersaults!"

Shantis is the type of person who is too serious and can't stand being teased.

Alvin's ambiguous look and tone made her feel ashamed and angry, and she completely forgot that they were thousands of meters above the ground.

"Alvin! You deserve a beating!"

She growled and pretended to pinch Alvin's arm through the dragon saddle.

"What nonsense are you talking about! What kind of cat can understand your command to do a somersault? You want to bully me again!"

Alvin looked at Shandris's cute confused look and laughed so hard that he fell over.

He finally stopped laughing, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then patted the shoulder of Green Shadow who was sitting behind him seriously.

"Come on, my big green cat, flip one for your sister! Let her see it!"

Green Shadow: “…”

Shandris: "..."

Akalitraza: "Puff--hahahaha!"
