With the downfall of the last of the Elemental Lords, strengthening the power of the Scourge to new heights, Sunset and Kairoz returned to Tirisfal Glades, where her army was busy securing her existing domain before waiting for her orders to head into the other provinces, though she took her position on the throne as she faced Kairoz.
"So, what's this about an artifact?" Sunset asked, as while she could easily read his mind and figure it out on her own, like her predecessor might do to learn about things ahead of time, she preferred to do this every now and then, since relying on a single method for things was not the best thing to do.
"It is called the Demon Soul, and it possesses the power to control and destroy the flights." Kairoz replied, where Sunset could tell that some of the other bronze and infinite dragons, those who were part of his team in dealing with timelines and her curiosity, stiffened for a moment as they heard it's name, "It was created by Deathwing, when he was still Neltharion, containing the essence of the other Aspects so none of the flights could damage it, and was infused with the power of the Old Gods and even demons. The artifact was destroyed not that long ago, in Outland to be exact, but we can open the way for you to head back to when it was first used, before Neltharion was torn apart by it's power and the madness of his dark masters... you would not only gain a powerful new weapon, but also..."
"Allies. Neltharion, those who fell before the Sundering, and many others." Sunset said, which pleased her, because such a thing meant that the mortals would face even greater danger if she introduced even more soldiers into the equation, even if her sights were also on the land of Pandaria, the new continent they discovered, "Once I defeat Deathwing, and we take out the rest of the living, you and the blue dragons will open the way to this new continent so we can conquer it as well. Do I make myself clear?"
As her soldiers confirmed her orders, because they knew it was foolish to stand against her desires, Kairoz gathered them and they combined their powers into a single point, opening a portal into the past, one that was further back than what she had done so far, and she suspected that it would cause a massive change to another timeline when she was done with her new mission. The area Sunset appeared in was the sparkling city of Zin-Azshari, the ancient domain of Queen Azshara, the highborn queen that nearly summoned Sargeras, the Dark Titan himself, to Azeroth, caused the Sundering, and even turned herself and her people into the naga that served N'Zoth. Sure enough she found a number of highborne soldiers, with demons standing near them, since the two forces were allied with each other, which meant she'd find some satyrs as well, since it was around this point in time that they were made, though before doing anything Sunset made sure that the val'kyr, at least five, came with her. While she did that, however, it was far too easy for her to feel the energy in the air, as in the massive amount of magic being used to form the portal that would allow Sargeras to enter this world and claim it as his own, but her focus was on her target and nothing else.
Sunset's first action was to engage the demon, finding that it fought better than some of the mortals she had faced so far, which was a nice change of pace after everything she had faced so far, and while she had no shield, it wasn't something a death knight used, Frostmourne was more than enough to block incoming attacks and cut her foe down.
What she did after that was drag the demon's soul back into it's body and forced it into undeath, depriving the Legion of a soldier, but it opened so many more doors for her and she glanced back at Kairoz for a brief moment, who nodded as he made a note of her latest desire. The interesting thing was that there was only one Legion in the universe, as in when she created an alteration to a timeline all of the people had alternate selves made, like how there were multiple versions of the Aspects in her army, but the demons, however, only had one life across all timelines. This meant that, in due time, she would be able to steal a portion of Sargeras' army and add it to the Scourge, hence why Kairoz was going to go back and find all of the slain demons in the history of Azeroth, once she was done with her quest anyway, to add another force to the growing might of the Scourge. With that in mind she started to move deeper into Zin-Azshari, finding that there were a lot of statues depicting Azshara, one of the ancient beauties of the world, not to mention one of the most powerful since even N'Zoth took an interest in her during the Sundering.
"Over here, in the shadows." a voice said, where she found an elf wearing a blindfold over his eyes, in addition to a pair of warglaives that weren't like what she remembered from Arthas' memories, which made sense due to the fact that she was now ten thousand years in the past, but before he could say anything else she stabbed him in the chest, causing shock to appear on his face.
Sunset wasn't about to let Illidan Stormrage, he who would become the Lord of Outland at one point, go like this, due to the fact that his power was great and would be even greater later in life, but for now he would serve as a soldier like those she had killed so far. With that done, and another force added to her still growing army, Sunset marched down into the next section of the palace, as that was where Kairoz had brought them, and found demons moving into portals that would no doubt take them out to the battlefield. As such she and Illidan hunted the army that was in front of them, cutting off all of the portals so none of them could flee and cutting down the demons so her val'kyr could raise each one into undeath, surprising the living demons as some fell to their former allies, just like what happened when the living found their fallen friends and family coming to kill them. It told her everything she needed to know, not even the demons knew that they could be enslaved by the power of Death, and those that learned this lesson fell before it could be delivered to the rest of the Legion, meaning it was her secret to use against them.
Eventually she clashed with Peroth'arn, the satyr in charge of the demons and highborne in the courtyard, but in the end he was only slightly stronger than the demons she had faced so far, allowing her to add another satyr to her army before heading up the path that would bring her right to Queen Azshara.
The highborne guards, the royal ones that reported directly to the queen, were far tougher than the other highborne she had faced so far, which was fine with Sunset since it meant a greater challenge for her, though to make it even she made sure to send her army out into the surrounding area, along with most of the val'kyr. Sure, some of the royal guards were able to slip through her defenses, not that it mattered since their weapons bounced off her armor, but she was happy to have a new challenge and not be dragged down by enemies who didn't know what they were doing. Those that fell were raised by the lone val'kyr, who remained near her to ensure her foes were raised once she killed them, where Sunset found herself smiling as she faced the royal guards, as while she was able to cut them down in due time she knew that they were the greatest fighters she had engaged so far. As she did that, however, Sunset spotted the Well of Eternity over the edge of the balcony she was approaching, with dragons attempting to stop the highborne from opening the portal for Sargeras, and in the center of the balcony, resting on an elegant bed, was a figure only talked about in legend.
Queen Azshara was, as the legends said, a beautiful figure with brilliant blue skin and elegant white hair, who wore a gown that was fairer than anything her subordinates and citizens wore, and she was focused on the portal right now, though the moment Sunset stepped onto the balcony she turned her eyes on her.
"Ah, welcome." Queen Azshara said, speaking the moment Sunset moved closer to where she was resting, where she turned her eyes on the mages that were working to summon the Dark Titan to Azeroth, no doubt bought by promises of power or something, while at the same time ignoring the fact that Frostmourne was out in the open, "You are here to join us in the upcoming celebration, no?"
"You could say that." Sunset replied, where she couldn't believe that it was this easy to get close to Azshara, especially after all the information she had gathered on the figure, and wasted no time in stabbing her in the chest, breaking the magic that had been keeping her safe from enemy attacks in a second.
Raising Azshara into undeath, not an easy task to do since her will was stronger than any others, boosted Sunset's power, not to mention the power of the Scourge, and she wiped out her still living guards so they could join her in undeath, mostly to serve her as they did while they were alive. As she did that, and organized the fallen highborne to liberate the rest of the city, Sunset turned her attention on the magic in front of her and noticed a perfect golden disk that radiated power, which had to be the Demon Soul, or Dragon Soul as it was once known as. In that moment, after studying the web of magic in front of her, Sunset decided to call forth her own magical power, all of it this time around, and the area shook under the sheer intensity of her power, causing the four dragon Aspects to pause for a second. It was all she needed from them as she wrapped her power around the Demon Soul, finding that it was as strong as she had been lead to believe, not to mention that she could feel the presence of the Old Gods trying to force her out, to stop her from seizing it, and, at the same time, the Void dagger she had taken from one of her other selves acted up, as if fighting her as well.
In the following moment she pulled out the dagger and shattered it, absorbing the fragments into her blade, like she had done to this world's version of Frostmourne, before raising her hand as the Demon Soul floated over to her position, a fact that allowed her to embrace the power of the artifact. The energy of the Aspects rushed through her body as she did that, strengthening her further than ever before, all while she could feel herself getting taller, by a couple of inches, and most of her muscles bulked up a little, becoming more refined, while her armor shifted slightly to accommodate her changing body. In addition to that she felt multiple changes happen all over her body, just like what happened the last time she took in a lot of dragon energy, as in her hands sharpened into claws with scales on the backside, a pair of horns grew out of her head and coiled until they were pointed in front of her, the helm opening holes for them to fit through, and her teeth sharpened a little. Those weren't the only changes as Sunset felt her hooves break open, becoming the clawed legs that a dragon would possess, or if they took on a humanoid form without losing their draconic features, and, just like before, her armor altered itself accordingly, making her look even fiercer than before.
With that done the Demon Soul shrunk down to the size of a small fingernail sized gemstone that she integrated into the Helm of Domination, right under the blue gemstone, granting her domination over all dragons as well, or rather those that she wished to use her power on. She knew that because a massive black dragon with deep red colored wings roared the moment he witnessed what she had done, where she grinned as she extended her hand and knocked Neltharion right to the ground, forcing him to bow his head in reverence to his new master. In addition to that she also caught the remaining Aspects before they could flee from the area, forcing them to the ground like their brother, before she landed and made her move against them, as she forced each one to assume their visage forms before quickly cutting them down. Just like before the dragons didn't stay dead for too long, not when she raised each of them into undeath and extended that to all of the lesser dragons that were following them, just like what happened when she assaulted the other timeline, and when her enemies came to her.
The moment she had her prize, and then some, Sunset gathered the newest addition to the Scourge and returned to the future, as it was time for someone to put Deathwing and his followers in their place, before she could focus on hunting down all of the remaining living and unite all of Azeroth under the Scourge's dark banner.
