The Stone Giant is alive!!!
Gaddana was overjoyed, and the Kaldorei cheered along with him. They had witnessed a miracle today, seeing the birth of a stone life.
Hearing the sounds, the Stone Giant looked around in confusion, his face full of bewilderment.
Gaddana hurried over, "My brother—"
The Stone Giant allowed Gaddana to embrace him, but his face remained filled with confusion.
Gaddana also noticed something was off, "My brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah—?" The Stone Giant opened his mouth, making a sound like a baby.
"This?" Gaddana looked at Gale, whose face was also puzzled. Logically, since the Stone Giant had been resurrected, he should be an adult, so why was he making a baby's sound?
Soon, he thought of a possibility, "Gaddana, it might be that my power is too weak. I can't directly create a powerful soul like Kaz'goroth. Or perhaps it's because I didn't inject soul energy into him, so there's a newborn soul inside his body."
Gaddana looked at the Stone Giant again, whose clear eyes were foolish and innocent.
The Stone Giant gently pushed Gaddana away, squatted down, and reached out to grab the observing Kaldorei.
Gale quickly cast a Levitation spell on the Stone Giant, making him float in the air. The Stone Giant struggled in the air, but could only spin around.
"Gaddana, he's like a newborn now. It seems you'll need to take good care of him. Otherwise, he might tear down my camp."
Gaddana scratched his head, dislodging some small stones. "But how do I take care of him?"
Gale was stumped. He also didn't know how to care for a child. And this child was too massive; even the term "giant baby" wasn't enough to describe his size.
Salador said, "Lord, you need to find a place for him to live, far from people."
Gale nodded and activated the magic map. The Stone Giant baby's destructive power was immense, so they had to find a large enough place that could also restrict him. Val'sharah was full of forests and inhabited by many Kaldorei, so it was clearly unsuitable. Highmountain was full of mountains, but with the construction of camps, most of the valleys were occupied by the allied forces.
Finally, Gale found several tall mountains south of Thunder Totem. The mountains were covered in snow, and the Tauren had a small hunting camp there. To the southeast of the camp was an uninhabited area, very suitable for the Stone Giant to live.
"This is it!"
"Then let's set off now!" Gaddana took the Stone Giant baby's hand and walked south along the road.
Gale teleported all the way, reaching the river bend and climbing east up the high mountain. Climbing the mountain was easy for the Stone Giant. Gaddana went straight up and down, very quickly, sometimes even having to wait for Gale to catch up.
Soon, they passed the Tauren camp. The Tauren who were hunting there stared Foolishly at the Stone Giant stepping over them, not daring to move.
"This guy is too impatient!"
Gale helplessly teleported next to the Tauren. These Tauren had obviously not participated in the Darkshore expedition.
"This is the Stone Giant, our ally. In the future, they will make their home on the mountains over there. For now, you should not hunt in that area."
The Tauren nodded Silly, seemingly having taken Gale's words to heart.
Gale didn't have time to worry too much and teleported to catch up with Gaddana. After crossing one mountain, Gaddana was still a little uneasy, so he crossed another mountain before stopping.
"I wonder when I'll be able to teach him." Gaddana was troubled. How could he, a thousand-year-old bachelor, teach a child? And this child seemed to be no ordinary troublemaker.
"I will try my best to improve the resurrection mechanism," Gale promised.
Gaddana: "For now, let's not resurrect anyone else. Let's wait until I've educated him properly before proceeding! If another one comes, I might not be able to manage."
"Alright!"
Gale glanced at the lively Stone Giant baby, who was throwing stones down the mountain. He wondered if any creatures below had suffered. Fortunately, the Stone Giant baby's strength was limited, and he didn't throw them too far.
He looked into the distance and could see a huge canyon below the mountain stretching eastward.
In Heda'shal, the Kaldorei looked nervously towards the end of the western canyon, where thunderous roars occasionally echoed.
Gale returned to Andu Talla, awaiting news of Malorne and Cenarius's victory. During this time, he had been studying titan runes. As his knowledge grew, he increasingly realized the power of titan runes. Perhaps because the Titans were manifestations of star souls, the runes they used were closer to cosmic rules. It was precisely because of this that the Titans possessed such immense power.
Several months later, Malorne and Cenarius finally returned to Val'sharah.
They, along with the Ursol brothers, annihilated the spider army attacking to the east and, together with the Green Dragon, broke through the holy city of Ahn'Qiraj, eliminating a large number of spiders and Faceless Ones. According to Cenarius's description, many spiders escaped and disappeared into some underground caves in Dragonblight.
Gale's expression shifted. It seemed the failure of this battle was a key factor in the Crypt Fiends breaking free from the Old Gods' control. Those underground caves should be the prototype of Azjol-Nerub.
With the war over, Cenarius returned to Cenarius Grove, where he planned to teach the path of the druid. Malorne would also once again journey across the continent, seeking out threats that could destroy the world.
Gale dispatched Nalarex to lead the Kaldorei interested in nature magic to Cenarius Grove to learn the natural arts. Especially for the medics, nature magic became a compulsory subject.
He also wanted to promote Light magic, but unfortunately, he only had a superficial understanding of it and no systematic knowledge. The priests' divine magic and Shim-Eba's Sun Power both had applications of the Light, but he simply didn't have the time to study them for now.
All his energy was focused on titan runes. He wanted to replicate a Titan Portal. When the Burning Legion descended, if he had a hidden Titan Portal, he could launch a surprise attack on Sin'dorei, saving many Kaldorei lives.
For this reason, he often visited the Drogbar's underground caves to observe the Titan Portal there.
After decades, he finally analyzed the alloy ratio used in the Titan Portal. Following the formula, Gale quickly refined the alloy and then built the portal's base near Shaladrassil.
Gale placed the other base on a mountain peak on Mount Hyjal.
Using the eternal holy grail for charging, Gale used the hammer of khaz'goroth to open the portal.
To conceal the portal's existence, Gale used Shaladrassil to set up a barrier. Unless a creature was proficient in nature magic, they would be unable to detect Shaladrassil's presence.
From then on, Shaladrassil became a legend, and as time passed, it also grew more mysterious to the Kaldorei of Andu Talla.
