As Spitfire expected the heroes and people of Azeroth spent a long time partying to celebrate their victory over Sargeras and the Burning Legion, something that was a long time coming with all of the conflicts and events that had been started by the various beings who had served the Dark Titan. Of course she and Rainbow joined in after a while, as it was nice to relax and share their victory with their friends and allies, especially since the fate of multiple worlds was no longer on their shoulders, though Spitfire found that some of her time was spent with all of the other leaders. One thing she learned was that Jaina's mother, Katherine Proudmoore, had decided to step down as the Lord Admiral of Boralus, which happened to be the capital of Kul Tirus, and had named her daughter as her replacement for reasons that would likely be shared later, and that Katherine was going to be replacing Priscilla Ashvane as an advisor. The decision was based on the fact that the lady in question had betrayed her by siding with pirates, in an attempt to launch a coup and capture Boralus, hence why they executed her after her failed attempts. Likewise King Rastakhan had stepped down from his position as king, at long last since he had been ruling for so long, and passed the throne to his daughter Talanji, which made her the Queen of the Zandalari Empire and all of Zandalar, while her father had also taken an advisor role to help her adjust to her new role, a thoughtful gesture on his part.
The interesting thing was that Zul had helped them take down a rebellion before it could come to light, where Spitfire had a feeling that he was frightened of the futures he had seen and might have used his own allies as scapegoats to save his hide, but the pair were keeping an eye on him, just in case.
As for the other races she found that the leader of the Mechagnomes was called Prince Erazmin, but, in addition to that, they reported to the king of the Gnomes, Gelbin Mekkatorque, so that meant their racial leader was like an advisor to one he likely looked up to or respected. It was an interesting change for them, even though the Mechagnomes had all sorts of mechanical advances that might be shared with everyone else on Azeroth at some point, but she knew that they would no doubt come up with a plan and present it to her when they were ready. The Vulpera, on the other hand, had Kiro as their leader, as he helped keep everyone alive during the days before the Legion assaulted Vol'dun, and while he was cautious at times he knew when to act and when not to act, though sometimes he had to deal with one of his race's champions, a female Vulpera called Nisha who actually wore the skull of a dead Sethrak to inspire fear in her enemies. Of course such a thing worried some of the other Sethrak, those who had decided to join Spitfire's forces, but they didn't seem to care that much as they joined everyone else in celebrating their victory over the Legion.
Another interesting aspect was that the celebration went into the night and well into the morning, though many fell asleep as the hours went by and, eventually, Spitfire stood near the entrance to the harbor and glanced out at everyone that had partied the night away.
"You have done well, Spitfire, far more than what I originally thought when the Illidari found you," a voice said, where she found Illidan had stopped by the area that she was observing from, though he had a smile on his face as he glanced out at the area they were in, plus his voice was full of pride, "you and Rainbow saved both Azeroth and the rest of the universe from Sargeras' dark plans, and that, alone, is worthy of this celebration... even if that dark figure lets us know that there is more to the universe than what we originally knew."
Spitfire nodded, as Xahvalan had basically told them that the universe was far larger than what they assumed, without him even saying a word, though as she thought about it she also thought about the people her mentor had angered during the course of his quest to save this world.
"How did it go?" Spitfire asked, knowing that Illidan would understand her question without her actually saying anything about the topic she was interested in learning about, though as she said that she stared out at the rest of the harbor and noticed how the citizens who were up were working together without worrying about factions or race, something that put a smile on her face as she watched them.
"I told them the truth, that all the power I had gained, and all of the measures I had taken over these long years, were to make way for us to save Azeroth, even if it meant sealing myself and the Titans away," Illidan replied, as that was the plan he had come up with all those years ago, when he first understood the power that the Dark Titan had wielded when his eyes were burned out, but now that plan no longer mattered, "I expected them to be angry with me, something they were entitled to given some of my previous actions, but they held their tongues and told me that they would accept my words for now, though being forgiven by them will take some time... frankly, I'm just surprised both of them were willing to talk to me again, as I figured they would have ignored me and brushed me off, so I guess I have you and Rainbow to thank for that."
"I'm glad to be of some help," Spitfire replied, where she knew that he was referring to the fact that everyone seemed to have changed after witnessing her and Rainbow's desire to protect Azeroth, while taking down anyone that annoyed one of them or anyone who threatened the safety of this world, like what Sylvanas was attempting before her demise, and it seemed that she had even affected Tyrande and Malfurion with her actions as well, before she sighed for a few seconds as she considered what else had been revealed to them, "Still, Primordial Demons... should have known that the demons had their own Pantheon of sorts, though I wasn't expecting one of them to come visit us after we beat the Legion and took down Sargeras, especially when the demon in question is the mother of all Sayaad."
She had to admit that she was still surprised by that fact, that the Fel had their own Pantheon, the Fel Council to be exact, though when she considered the Pantheon of Death, the Eternal Ones in the Shadowlands, it wasn't so strange anymore, which just meant there was more for them to learn about how the other Cosmic Forces.
"We've learned a lot more about the universe thanks to you and Rainbow," another voice said, where Spitfire and Illidan turned for a moment and found that Khadgar had joined them, as he had been with the leaders during the dinner and, as such, had witnessed the arrival of the Primordial Demon and learned about everything they had learned, "We've learned about the Shadowlands, the afterlives that the souls go to, and the forces that lead some of the other Cosmic Forces, and even with all that there's more for us to learn... at least now, without the Legion looming over our heads and no Old Gods seeking to corrupt us, we can learn in relative peace."
"Indeed, because Azeroth is safer than she's been in the past," Spitfire stated, as she understood Khadgar's feelings on the matter and agreed that there was more for them to find out about their universe, especially the Cosmic Forces, before she thought about something else for a few seconds, "who knows, we might be lucky and witness her awakening at some point in the future... maybe not now, since I'm sure she's got a few more years, maybe even hundreds, of sleeping to do before she wakes up and manifests into the Titan that the Pantheon has been waiting for."
"The 'strongest Titan in all of creation'... yeah, I'm not buying that right now," a third voice said, where Spitfire knew who it belonged to without having to look at all, as Sarya had decided to stick around and scout out potential succubi, those who willingly wanted to walk that path, before finding an unamused look on Khadgar's face and that Illidan had raised one of his eyebrows, "What? Surely you guys can't believe that Azeroth is, in fact, the strongest Titan in the universe, not after the fierce battle between Spiftire and the Dark Titan? I mean, she's certainly strong and would make a great champion for the Cosmic Force she eventually joins, if she ever decides to do such a thing, but you have to realize that none of the heroes who call Azeroth home would have been able to produce someone capable of facing and taking down the Dark Titan! Not that Rainbow taking down Argus wasn't as incredible... in fact that was awesome, how she fought a Titan and toppled it in battle... but let's say there is another Titan out there, one that is capable of producing some of the mightiest heroes and champions that the universe has ever seen!"
"Are you suggesting that Equus, the home of Spitfire and Rainbow, harbors a Titan's World-Soul?" Illidan asked, though at the same time Khadgar seemed to be thinking about the same thing that he was thinking, and had spoken the instant the Sayaad had stopped talking, where Sarya nodded her head and watched as the three of them considered her words for a few moments, even though it wasn't long before they came to their own decisions, which put a slight smile on Sarya's face as she waited to hear their thoughts, "Makes sense, given how unique Spitfire and Rainbow were before they appeared in Shadowmoon Valley all those years ago, and joined the Illidari once they learned what the Dark Titan was planning for the rest of the universe, since it also involved their home world, though it does make one wonder something important. Are all of Equus' citizens as powerful as Spitfire and Rainbow were in the past, before taking in the powers that shaped them into the incredible heroes they became?"
"The implications of that would be both grand and disastrous at the same time," Khadgar remarked, though Spitfire had a feeling that she knew what he was going to say, since she had been thinking about it since Sarya had mentioned it, where she believed the Sayaad had been thinking of creating a world of overpowered demons, or at least entertaining the idea of such a thing even though she didn't seem to care about avenging her fallen kin, before the Archmage started talking again and drew their attention to him once more, "just imagine what would happen if Equus fell to, say, the Legion, or embraced the power of the Light, or if they were consumed by the Void... whatever Cosmic Force were to take over the world in such a way would gain an army unlike anything ever seen before, one unlike those that came before them, and I'm sure that all of their enemies would fall before the might of their power. Its like we've said in the past, regardless if you two were with us or not, we're fortunate that neither of you ended up on one of the Legion's worlds, or a world taken by the Void, or any of the other dangerous worlds that are out there, otherwise we would have been facing off against an enemy we wouldn't be able to defeat... I shudder to think what would have happened had we faced off against either you or Rainbow on the field of battle."
"Depending on who found them... death, destruction, trickery, or stealthy corruption," Sarya commented, where it was all too easy for Spitfire to figure out which one the Sayaad would have picked had she found her and Rainbow all those years ago, as most succubi seemed to want the two of them for their own, before Sarya shrugged for a few seconds, showing all of them that she had no idea what would have happened to the pair had they been discovered by the other types of foul demons in the universe, other than what she just said anyway, "but if the forces of Azeroth were able to ally with the rest of Equus, and teach them how to wield the powers of the universe, you would become allies of possibly the greatest force in the entire universe... not counting this other demonic army that Xahvalan had mentioned."
Spitfire nodded her head to that statement, because while all of them had an idea of what to expect with the Titans and all of the residents of Azeroth, given everything she and Rainbow had been through lately, they had no idea what to expect due to the arrival of Sarya. She still found herself thinking about part of the Sayaad's statement, about how if they taught the ponies and races of Equus about the Cosmic Forces they could create a force that was unlike anything that had been seen in the universe. Such a thing depended on what Princess Celestia and Princess Luna had to say on the matter, given what happened to Sombra a thousand years ago, though such a thing would require heading home and seeing what sort of reaction the people had to their return. It was something to consider for the time being, as they still had to find a way back to Equus, due to the fact that she was sure that the Sargerite Keystone might not be of help in this situation, but with the Legion's defeat she knew they had the time to rest and consider their options before attempting to go back home and see what was going on.
As Spitfire considered those facts, like the others did at the same time, she felt a shift in the Arcane power that was in the air, the pull coming from Silithus based on what she was sensing, and it was easy for her to see that the others stopped for a moment to see what was up with her.
"Something's wrong, though what I'm not entirely sure." Spitfire remarked, though that was followed by the ground below them shaking for a few seconds, not enough to do any damage to any of the buildings around them, which she was happy to see, but it was powerful enough to disturb all of Stormwind, hence why she beckoned to the others and returned to the Keep, finding that Rainbow and everyone else were already getting ready, "Romuul, prepare the Vindicaar for launch... I'm not sure what we'll find in Silithus, since there isn't much that could create a small quake like that, but this cannot be good for the rest of Azeroth."
Velen and his chosen captain nodded before heading out for the beacon that had been fired down into Stormwind earlier, where Spitfire and the others followed after them without delay, allowing everyone to board the Vindicaar once more, all while discovering that Magni was worried and meant that whatever was going on was tied to Azeroth's World-Soul, just as she thought. Once everyone was ready to go, and Spitfire was sure of it, they departed from the city and headed for the area that they were interested in, where the Vindicaar's power allowed them to surge through the air at blinding speeds and come to a stop above Silithus without delay. What they discovered was that there was a storm of Arcane energy that was gathering in the middle of the desert they were investigating, though they quickly figured out that this was no normal storm, not when Amun'thul and the other Titans appeared all over the province, meaning they were as worried as Magni was right now. The Titans quickly determined that something was wrong and started to pour their energies into calming the frightened World-Soul, or maybe they were aiding her in some manner, causing her to stand there for a moment and think about the situation they had just discovered.
When she came to a decision the rest of the dimensional fleet, sensing that something was wrong after the low quake they experienced, warped into Silithus and gathered around the area that the Vindicaar was resting in, something that gave all of them a chance to see what was going on in front of them and that the Titans had come to Azeroth to assist all of them with this event, to which she nodded to Romuul for a moment as he connected them to the rest of her fleet.
"Champions of Azeroth, an unexpected event has occurred and the Titans are in need of assistance," Spitfire stated, due to the fact that she knew that none of the Titans had recovered enough energy to do whatever it was they were hoping to do, especially since the battle with Argus hadn't been that long ago by this point in time, hence why she was aiming to lend them the aid of those who called this world home, including her and Rainbow since it might stabilize what they were seeing at the moment, "call forth your magic, whatever size and element it might be, and direct it towards the storm that Amun'thul and the Titans are trying to calm."
What happened was that the heroes, sensing what she had in mind, started to move and divide themselves, arranging all of them and the fleet among the six points that the Titans were standing in, resembling a massive version of the wings that Spitfire had, or maybe a massive version of a map that reflected the six Cosmic Forces of the universe. As that went down she teleported outside the Vindicaar and flew into the air above the storm, watching as the Xenedar came to a stop to the northwest, behind Khaz'goroth, before firing a beam of Light energy into the storm that joined the energy. A couple of moments later the Botanica, which had a Genesaur and all sorts of Life users aboard it, as in the Wild Gods, stopped to the west of the storm, just behind Eonar, and loosed a beam of green Life energy once they were ready. While they aided Eonar the Eye came to a stop near Amun'thul, who was standing to the southwest of the storm, leading to the mages and those who used Arcane energy gathered their power before sending an Arcane beam into the mix.
As that happened something caught Spitfire's eye as the Fel Hammer, having sensed what was going on as well, warped into the northeastern space and paused in the space behind Aggramar, who was standing in the space that the Fel wing resided in, where Rainbow joined them and channeled her power into a Fel beam that joined the growing storm. While they did that the Arcatraz stopped near Golganneth before sending out a beam of Death energy, provided by all of the death knights who called this world home, and likely included the Lich King, given that he was the greatest force of Death energy right now. Of course the Arcatraz was to the east of this storm, which left a position to the southeast that needed to be filled, though it didn't take long for the Vindicaar to come to a stop behind the last of the six Titans, Norgannon to be exact, before loosing a beam of Void energy. That led her to a new discovery, as Alleria had been missing during the large celebration, she hadn't had time to think about it due to the fact that Dusk and his allies had so much to share with her, but the Void Elf had found more of her kind, Blood Elves who had been studying the Void and became like her, meaning they had a whole new breed of elves to deal with and it was they who were providing this final beam.
As all of that happened Spitfire spread her wings while calling upon her own power, summoning a large sphere of Cosmic energy above her head, one that she hoped would bring balance to Azeroth's own immense power, or at least calm her to the point where no one had to worry about anything terrible happening. As she did that Spitfire found that the remaining ships in the fleet were loosing smaller beams of energy into the storm, the heroes and people of Azeroth were doing their part to aid their world in her time of need. While she was forming her sphere she noticed something, the Night Elves who had been guarding this province from the Silithid were nowhere to be seen, meaning all of the buildings were deserted and no one would be caught up in whatever the Titans were doing, which was fine with her since she didn't want to catch anyone in this. When her sphere was ready, and she was sure of that, Spitfire shifted her arm and sent the mass of energy down towards the storm, where she and the rest of the assembled residents of Azeroth watched as it quickly descended and struck her target, something that was followed by the sphere merging with the storm and all of the energy that was being fired at it.
A couple of moments later something interesting happened, the energy started to spill out of the storm and she watched as the natural disaster started to collapse on them, the energy surging outwards as it started to form a massive mirror over the desert of Silithus, a perfectly flat one at that, causing Amun'thul to beckon for everyone to stop. With that single motion everyone, as no one dared to go against the wishes of the Titans, stopped what they were doing and observed the mass of energy that was in front of them, which was losing its storm form before their eyes. The mirror flattened anything and everything that was around it, to make sure it had no problems or obstacles, though it was massive and seemed to cover most of the province they were in, one that had to be enough for a Titan to pass through when they matured into a full Titan. One other thing Spitfire noticed was that it simmered with all six Cosmic Forces working in unison, which was a combination of everyone's efforts, before watching as the energy swirled around for a few moments before she and the others watched as something started to emerge from the mass.
What she spotted was a World-Soul, the constellation soul of a Titan, which meant it had to be Azeroth's and told her that they were witnessing something special right now, they were observing and assisting in the awakening of a Titan, the one all of the Cosmic Forces had been fighting over for so long. After she spotted it, however, it sunk into the energy that was below it not a few seconds later, like someone taking a dip in a pool, meaning the Titans must have summoned it to make sure nothing was wrong with Azeroth's World-Soul. Not a few seconds later the energy of the mirror surged into one spot and formed a sphere of energy, one that happened to glimmer in the sunlight, that seemed to be more like a moon when Spitfire studied it, where she was sure Khadgar and the other mages would agree with her on this. For a time it seemed as if nothing would happen, as if the awakening had failed, before she and the others watched as the mass shrunk down to the size a Titan used when they walked on a planet, like when Spitfire faced Sargeras earlier.
A few moments later the energy broke off and revealed a beautiful lady standing there, looking a lot like Eonar in terms of her body shape, though it appeared that she was more elven due to her long pointed ears and blue colored eyes, who had light blue skin that was covered by an elven dress of some kind, one that showed the sides of her stomach area for some reason, and she had long blue hair that stopped just below her shoulders.
"Azeroth, the Titan of the Cosmos," Spitfire commented, as this was unexpected, seeing the awakening of a Titan, though as she thought about it for a time she decided not to overthink what they were seeing right now, while the figure raised her right arm and stared at her fingers.
"I... I am awake at last..." the newly awakened Titan said, where Spitfire discovered that her voice was sweet and songlike, though Amun'thul and the other Titans headed over to the area that she was floating in, causing her to turn towards each of them in time as she felt each of their powers, where she didn't have to worry, as Azeroth had awakened just fine, but that was before she smiled for a moment and bowed her head towards the fleet, "Thank you, citizens of my planet, for protecting me all these years and fighting off those who would do me harm, or use me for their own purposes, and thank you, champions of my sister, for aiding all of my champions in driving off those who sought to claim my soul for their dark and nefarious purposes... I promise to do everything in my power to ensure that both of our worlds remain safe and face no danger."
This was all the confirmation that Spitfire needed, as Eonar seemed confused for a few seconds before she and the rest of the Titans understood what Azeroth was even talking about, Equus had a World-Soul slumbering inside it and it explained, to a degree, why she and Rainbow were so powerful, given their connection to their own planet's magic. Before she could say anything, like say 'it was nothing' and actually talk with the awakened Titan, a surge of energy washed over this area and caused her to turn her head for a moment. She and Rainbow found Discord, in all his chaotic glory, nearby, a fact that told them that he must have warped into the area after feeling all of the energy that they had poured into making sure the slumbering Titan woke up just fine. He was unable to say anything as his jaw dropped as he saw all of the powerful Titans staring at him, many studying him since this was the first time they had seen anything like him, while the heroes had to wonder what his arrival meant for all of them.
"Well then, I guess its time for Rainbow and I to head home," Spitfire remarked, though as she said that she found that a small item had been teleported over to her, not doubt by Amun'thul, and discovered that it was the Sargerite Keystone, a fact that brought a slight smile to her face for a moment as she grasped it, "and we'll take the Vindicaar with us, as the rest can stay here and take a break... while we see what in the world has happened to our world since we were last there."
With the Legion destroyed, and Sargeras felled, it was about time that she and Rainbow headed back home and see what state Equus was in, since it had been some time since the day they were teleported over here, and they were interested in seeing what might have changed before getting ready for the eventual arrival of the other demonic threat.
