THE AGE OF DRAGONS IS OVER. Uncertainty plagues Azeroth's ancient guardians as they struggle to find a new purpose. This dilemma has hit Kalecgos, youngest of the former Dragon Aspects, especially hard. Having lost his great powers, how can he-or any of his kind-still make a difference in the world?
