Azariah was now five years old and learning how to use her wings and wield a glaive just like her father. Kai couldn't have been more proud of her daughter, but thought these five years on Argus there had been so much pain and loss on her half, she had lost some good warriors because of those demons. Kai and Illidan were leading the Army of the Light against the demons of the legion.
Valen, Khadgar, and Illidan helped the Kai find the missing parts of the Crown of the Triumvirate. Once all three pieces were reunited again the Vindicaar went from its purple color to one of gold. Velen explained that they would have to fight their way into the pantheon of the gods to defeat Sargeras.
"Once we forge our path into The Great Beyond there is not turning back until Sargeras is defeated, you understand that right?" Velen said addressing everybody on board the ship but looking at Kai. "I understand if some of you want to leave, this mission is very dangerous."
"We understand the dangers, we wouldn't have boarded if we didn't know there was a chance we could die." Illidan spoke out looking at Velen who nodded.
"Is everybody ready to face this battle, that is the question i should be asking." Velen said looking around to everybody on board and Kai smiled when his eyes landed on hers.
They all nodded yes and Velen dismissed them back to their stations. Illidan stook besides Kai and she hummed. "Are you sure we shouldn't leave Azariah with Allari and Saria?" Illidan asked and Kai sighed.
"She begged the both of us to let her stay, i trust Velen and Khadgar not to let her get hurt." Kai said. Last night when they had talked to her about leaving the ship to go back to Dalaran she broke into hysterics. Flowers sprouted from her horns and fell to the floor as she sobbed into Kai's chest. She begged them not to leave her, so despite their better judgments they let her stay.
"We depart in a hour, get your weapons ready everybody, i don't know how long this fight will last." Velen said and Illidan took Kai to their room. Azariah was lying across the floor coloring and she jumped up when she saw them.
"Mommy daddy!" Azariah said hugging the two of them and Illidan picked her up.
"We depart in a hour princess, you remember our deal right?" Kai asked her looking into her emerald eyes.
"Yes! I can stay on board as long as i stay in the room with Remin!" Azariah said and Illidan smiled and kissed her head.
"Good girl." He said happily setting her on the ground. Azariah ran off to her room and brought out two flowers, Illidan got the purple one and Kai received the red one.
"Keep these with you! They'll keep you safe!" Azariah said with a smile as Kai admired the small red poppy in her hands.
"Did you grow these Az?" Kai asked bending down so she was on the same level as her daughter.
"Well i don't know what i did, i was praying to Elune for your protection and they appeared." Azariah said bouncing and Kai smiled happily.
"Well princess you know we're special right?" Kai said and Azariah nodded. "Well sometimes we can pray to Elune and we can receive gifts and offerings." Kai said making a tiny rose bloomed in her hands.
"Oh pretty!" She said taking the rose and smelling it.
"Nature spirits are power creatures connected to the land, this will be yours when your old enough." Kai said reaching into her drawer and pulling out a leather bound book. "This is a record of everything I experienced when i grew up. I hope that you use it one day for yourself and maybe even your kids." Kai said showing her the book.
Azariah's little hands traced over the purple lily on the cover and she smiled brightly. "Thank you mommy!" She said jumping into Kai's arms and she rubbed her back.
