Die Welt um Malygos nahm Gestalt an in einer Explosion aus Formen und Farben. Kreischende Protodrachen sausten am Himmel, während ein donnerndes Brüllen die Landschaft erschütterte. Malygos, der sich in Kalec befand, sah einen mächtigen Schatten, der alles Licht verschluckte: Galakrond, ein titanischer Protodrachen. Kalec spürte die Furcht in seinem Wirt, doch diese wurde von einem starken Überlebenswillen begleitet. Malygos konzentrierte sich und raste auf einen Felsen zu, während Galakrond über die panischen Protodrachen herfiel, die nicht schnell genug fliehen konnten. Grauen erfüllte Kalec, als er sah, wie Galakrond die kleineren Drachen mit einem Biss verschlang. Doch dann bemerkte er etwas noch Beunruhigenderes: Galakronds Körper war an einigen Stellen merkwürdig gedehnt, besonders am Maul. Kalec fragte sich, was geschehen war, doch bevor er eine Antwort finden konnte, prallte etwas heftig gegen Malygos. Der eisblaue Protodrache verlor kurz die Kontrolle, sah Coros in der Nähe, doch der Rivale verschwand schnell. Wütend beobachtete Kalec, wie Malygos sich wieder aufrichtete und darauf brannte, Coros zu konfrontieren. Doch bevor er handeln konnte, fiel ein Schatten über ihn und Galakronds Kiefer schloss sich um Malygos und Kalec.

Das Zeitalter der Drachen ist Vorüber und Azeroths uralte Wächter tragen schwer an der Aufgabe, eine neue Bestimmung zu finden. Vor allem Kalecgos, der jüngste der ehemaligen Drachenaspekte, leidet sehr unter diesem Umstand. Wie soll er – oder überhaupt einer seiner Art – noch etwas bewirken, jetzt, da die Aspekte ihrer unermesslichen Kräfte beraubt wurden? Die Antwort darauf liegt tief in der Vergangenheit verborgen, in einer Zeit, in der wilde Bestien – die sogenannten Protodrachen – den Himmel beherrschten. Mithilfe eines mysteriösen Artefakts, das im Herzen Nordends gefunden wurde, gelingt es Kalecgos, einen Blick in jene gewalttätige Epoche zu werfen und Zeuge der schockierenden Geschichte der ursprünglichen fünf Aspekte zu werden: Alexstrasza, Ysera, Malygos, Neltharion und Nozdormu. In ihrer urtümlichsten Form mussten sich die zukünftigen Beschützer Azeroths gegen eine blutrünstige Kreatur namens Galakrond behaupten, die die Existenz ihrer ganzen Art bedrohte. Doch stellten sich diese einfachen Protodrachen einem derart übermächtigen Gegner wirklich allein oder wurden sie durch eine Macht von außerhalb unterstützt? Wurden ihnen ihre legendären Kräfte einfach so verliehen oder mussten sie sich diese erst durch Blut verdienen? Kalecgos’ Entdeckungen werden alles radikal verändern, was er je zu wissen glaubte über den … UNTERGANG DER ASPEKTE KOMPLETT ÜBERARBEITETE NEUAUSGABE
