Azureblade, steadfast in her duty as the guardian of the Vault, made the solemn decision to remain within its confines even as it was sealed shut. Despite the looming threat and the allure of safety beyond its walls, she chose to prioritize her responsibility over her own well-being. As time passed and the blue dragons, once entrusted with safeguarding the Vault alongside her, failed to return, Azureblade's steadfast resolve morphed into bitter resignation.
Faced with the harsh reality of abandonment and the relentless passage of time, Azureblade's mind began to fray at the edges. In a desperate bid to prolong her existence and cling to the remnants of her former life, she delved into the very magics she had sworn to protect. Through dark and forbidden means, she extended her own lifespan, becoming a twisted reflection of her former self.
Now consumed by madness and fueled by a sense of ownership over the relics and treasures left behind by the blue dragonflight, Azureblade roams the depths of the Vault, a spectral guardian twisted by her own desperate bid for survival. In her madness, she sees herself as the rightful ruler of all that remains within, guarding it fiercely against any who dare to challenge her claim.
