After telling Khadgar and Trixie the bad news, and learning that they had done some good things since she had tried to figure out what Xe'ra had been trying to tell them, the last thing Lyra even wanted to do was sleep, especially since she had been out for three whole days. Instead she patrolled the citadel and the rest of Dalaran, nodding to the various heroes that had already risen earlier for the new day, or hadn't gone to bed in the case of the majority of the undead heroes and shopkeepers that were in the city. Several of the heroes stopped her and chatted with her for a few seconds, where she learned that every other Order Hall had been busy putting the finishing touches on their own problems and had also dealt blows against the Legion's operations. She knew why the Legion had targeted each Order as a whole instead of the two factions that controlled the majority of the world, as they figured that it would be easier for them to succeed in weakening the forces of Azeroth... but in the long run the Legion had given them the drive to push them back to the Twisting Nether and defeat their foul master.
Lyra wished that she still had some of the innocence that the other heroes had, as she had seen what Sargeras truly looked like and knew that one wrong move could easily spell disaster for the entirety of Azeroth... and when she died the Dark Titan would fulfill his promise to her and twist her into a monster, which would be how he found and destroyed Equus. That was a future that she wanted to avoid with all of her being, to which she focused her mind on the task that she and Trixie would be attempting to complete in the next few hours. She had no idea where Gul'dan was hiding, and could only guess what he was planning with Lord Illidan's body, but the two of them needed to find Thalyssra and aid her in any way that they could.
She had never thought, even for a second, that they would actually be planning an invasion of Suramar city, especially since it was so big and there had to be a fair number of Nightborne that wanted them dead, but now that it was a reality she only hoped that Thalyssra had a plan and didn't waste time that they didn't have.
The rest of the night quickly passed for Lyra, despite the fact that all she really did was walk around the city, listen to the exploits of the other Order Halls and the heroes that had gathered the other two Pillars of Creation, before the sun had started to show itself once more. The instant that happened she retired to the citadel and waited for Trixie to show up, where she got a small lecture from Khadgar about improperly using her time, as she should have been resting instead of wandering the city, but she gave up trying to explain why she had done what she had done. After missing three whole days she knew that the last thing she needed was more rest, though she paid Khadgar no mind while she waited for Trixie to reveal herself... and watch as she said fair well to Azuregos, who might be watching over everything in the Hall of the Guardian while she was off adventuring in Suramar.
A few moments later the two of them were standing in front of Khadgar, who was now holding a wand in his spare hand, something that Lyra had to assume was important to the first part of their mission in Suramar, which was them trying to find where Thalyssra was hiding.
"The Nightborne could prove powerful allies against the Legion." Khadgar commented, to which both Trixie and Lyra nodded their heads in understanding, as they both figured that an invasion meant removing whoever was leading the city at the moment, "We must aid this Thalyssra if we can. We should be able to find her by tracking her magical echoes, the same way I found her distress call. I can teleport you near the location where she recorded that message. From there, you must search for ripples in the very fabric of the arcane itself. This wand should do the trick, just follow the sparks that it creates... they should lead you to places where Thalyssra used her magic, and eventually to wherever she's hiding."
"And likely to whoever is no doubt hunting her," Lyra added, knowing that there had to be someone who wanted Thalyssra dead, especially since she went through the effort to get a message to someone that wasn't inside the actual city or in the land around the city, "After spending three days in an unconscious state it will be good to fight again, even if that means killing some hostile Nightborne soldiers."
"Nonetheless the two of you should be careful," Khadgar replied, to which he handed the wand to Trixie, who carefully stored it inside her bag and faced her mentor, before he stepped back and snapped open a portal to the place where the message was recorded, "the land of Suramar has been wild for the last ten thousand years... and there is no telling what sort of dangers await you down there."
Trixie and Lyra shared a glance for a few seconds before they passed through the portal, leaving behind Dalaran and heading into hostile territory, though a few moments later Lyra found that the two of them were standing some distance from a massive magical barrier that looked like it didn't have a lot of power backing it... and stared at the massive city that she and Trixie could only see a small fraction of. It appeared that the two of them were in some sort of wilderness area, though before they could take in the entirety of the area around them they both spotted a pair of Nightborne soldiers standing near something. That made Lyra wonder what they were staring at, to which she nodded to Trixie, who pulled out the wand and waved it for a few seconds, though that was followed by a small magical trail appearing on the ground and making its way towards where the soldiers were standing.
Fate seemed to be offering Lyra exactly what she wanted, to which she grinned as she pulled out her empowered warglaives and prepared herself, as this was going to be an interesting battle for the two of them, considering that neither of them had actually fought a full powered Nightborne soldier before. The only Nightborne they had fought had been the withered forces in Azsuna and those guys had been weakened versions of what they might be fighting, to which Lyra held up one of the Twinblades and threw it through the air. It immediately collided with the enemy on the right, cutting into his left arm, before it returned to her as their enemies became aware of their presence, though as they turned around Trixie cast a spell and knocked her target backwards.
Lyra took the opportunity that presented itself and charged at their enemies, ducking under the attack that came her way before springing up and slashing at her target's chest, though as she landed behind the Nightborne she cut him down and turned towards the other one... where she watched as Trixie blasted him into the nearby rock, killing him instantly. The two of them shared a glance with each other as Trixie used the wand again, to which the image of Thalyssra appeared before them and started moving, straight towards another group of enemies that happened to be in their way, to which they engaged their enemies. At first it was only the Nightborne they had to worry about, but after a few more minutes of following Thalyssra's trail they discovered hostile withered wanting them, especially Trixie, dead... to which Lyra assumed that they were trying to get at the arcane energy that was inside Trixie's body.
It was one of those brief moments where Lyra wondered if she should blame the fact that Trixie was a mage or the fact that she had been nearly drowned in Leywater back in Azsuna, but before she could decide which to blame they came to a ruin where an elf was floating in the air... and was apparently suspended in time. Even the image of Thalyssra showed her locking her opponent in a stasis like prison, only to be unlocked when someone came looking for the Nightborne in question, though that also meant that their arrival undid the seal that had been placed on Erasmus.
"Gah, a time stop spell..." Erasmus said, hitting the ground the moment the seal had been broken, to which he glared up at the two of them and gripped his weapon, "...she will pay for that... and you, outlanders, will suffer as well!"
Since Erasmus was wielding a sword, and it only hand one blade, Lyra stepped forward and met him in battle, parrying his attacks and cutting into him when he spotted an opening, though at the same time Trixie stood back and used her magic to damage their opponent. At the same time, however, Trixie also used another spell to prevent their opponent from casting whatever spell he was attempting to use, increasing Lyra's chances of dealing damage to the Nightborne, who was growing increasingly irritated with how the battle was going. As the battle progressed Lyra noticed that being trapped in time must have affected Erasmus more than they realized, as his reactions were slower than what he thought they were and she was able to gain the advantage after a few minutes... to which she cut the elf down, where he openly wondered who they were before he died.
"So, the Nightborne can use time magic..." Lyra commented, though at the same time she stared at the corpse that was in front of them, while noticing that Trixie was trying to find the next image of Thalyssra, "I'm not entirely sure what to make of this situation..."
"After everything I've seen, this isn't the strangest thing I've encountered," Trixie said, to which she smiled at Lyra and beckoned for her to follow, "Come on, Thalyssra went this way."
Sure enough they followed the path that was to the right of where they entered the ruins and found Thalyssra channeling her magicka into a barrier that was keeping her safe from the withered, though when she turned her head back she spotted them and dispelled the barrier, killing all of the withered in an instant.
"Outlanders..." Thalyssra said, though both Lyra and Trixie could tell that she was winded, meaning that there was some strain involved with what she had been doing with the barrier, "You received my message?"
"Yes, we did," Trixie replied, though she knew that Thalyssra meant nothing by 'outlanders', as it had to be the term that the elves of Suramar came up with for everyone that wasn't born on the Broken Isles, while at the same time she noticed that Lyra was keeping an eye out for enemies, "What exactly came we help you with?"
"I have much to tell the two of you, but it is not safe to speak here." Thalyssra said, indicating to the withered for a moment, though that was before she lifted a delicate flask to her lips, where her eyes shimmered for a second, "If we push through, we may find shelter up ahead."
Lyra and Trixie nodded, because by helping Thalyssra they would be able to find the Eye of Amun'thul, the fifth and final Pillar of Creation, locate Gul'dan, the enemy of Azeroth, and retrieve Illidan's body... all while trying to prevent Sargeras from entering this world and cleaving it in half. Lyra sighed, as she had the feeling that their visit to Suramar was going to be quite the long one, and they had barely started helping Thalyssra out in her quest to save the Nightborne.
