Battle of Life and Death

History

In the Highlanders Mountains, Alexstrasza confronted Neltharion. After several minutes of battle, Neltharion and Alexstrasza fell towards the ground, this event is said to be the cause of the formation of the Insatiable Lake, clutched in each other's claws. Alexstrasza, exhausted and mortally injured, was found laying on the ground, while Neltharion fell out of sight beyond the crest of the mountain.
Calen, Alexstrasza's child, who took elven form, raced to his mother's side. Her voice wavered as she explained that the Earth Warder was dead.

"Neltharion is defeated. Life... must not... falter."

— Alexstrasza

She reached out, her trembling hand brushing against Calen’s cheek. Like a phantom, the gigantic form of Neltharion rose up behind them. Calen exclaimed "he lives!" and the wounded Alexstrasza forced herself to sit up, stating that it was "impossible" for Neltharion to have survived the wounds she dealt him.
Neltharion set the ground at his feet aflame and glowered over the group. Calen leaped to shield his mother, his form shifting back into that of a dragon. Though dwarfed by Neltharion, he unleashed a barrage of fire and fury in a desperate attempt to protect her. The ground ignited beneath Neltharion’s feet, his dark aura suffocating all life around him. Calen fought valiantly, but his power was no match for the Earth Warder turned God of Death.
Neltharion’s claws descended, piercing Alexstrasza’s heart. The Goddess of Life cried out, a sound that echoed across the planes, her divine essence torn asunder. Miles away, in a serene glade untouched by the chaos, Ysera, staggered as an overwhelming wave of grief and power overtook her. She clutched her chest, her emerald eyes wide with realization. In that moment, the divine domain of Life passed to her, intertwining with her own dominion of Nature.
Back at the Highlanders Mountains, Neltharion roared in frustration as he failed to absorb Alexstrasza’s power. The divine essence had eluded him, finding a new bearer before he could claim it. Enraged and gravely wounded, he retreated into the shadows. Calen, broken and bloodied, knelt at the crater’s edge where his mother had fallen. His cries of sorrow echoed through the desolation, a haunting requiem for the fallen Goddess of Life.
