Ciel led her mother by the hand through the halls of Karazhan. Kelyth stared around at the familiar walls that she hadn't passed in years, noticing the repairs from the last time she was here.

Ciel walked up to one door in particular, and Kelyth recognized it as Medivh's study. She had many fond memories of coming here and talking for hours.

Her daughter knocked on the door, and a thrill of fear ran through her. It had been nearly two decades since she had.... well. Kelyth had seen them, but they couldn't see her. What if they didn't want to see her? What if Khadgar and Medivh had only been with her because she was there?

And Kelyth had changed so much, she reflected, looking down at her deep purple skin and her large black wings. Being Kul Tiran, she had always been on the tall side, now even more so.

Ciel opened the door, and Kelyth nearly wrenched her hand away. The young woman looked in, then turned back to her mother. "They're sitting down, and facing away."

Kelyth nodded nervously. She took a deep breath, then folded her wings back and ducked into the room.

Medivh's study looked exactly the same as it did when she was alive, and before she had died. Books lining the walls, and even a few sitting on the mantle over the fireplace. His desk all cluttered and disorganized, but Kelyth had no doubt he would be able to find anything on there in an instant.

There were three chairs on the rug, all of them facing the wall. The two that were further away from the door had men sitting in them.

A man dressed in a blue robe, with small bags attached to the belt, and his hair was short and white. He was on the left. On the right was another man, slightly taller than the other, with brown hair that reached just past his shoulders, resting on the raven feathers on his red cloak.

Kelyth took a hesitant step forward. Then another.

"I can't do this, I'm sorry-" Kelyth turned and tried to run back out the door.

Only to see Ciel shut it quickly, hear the click of a lock, and the heavy drag of something being moved in front of the door.

Her breathing sped up, and even knowing it wouldn't succeed she tried to open the door, shaking the door and the handle before giving up and standing there frozen.

A moment of silence. Kelyth stared at the door.

A hand touched her wing, and she started. The hand jerked away when she did, then came back and slowly stroked the dark feathers.

Another hand came to her other side, and reached for her hand. The sleeve was red.

"You're shaking." Came Medivh's voice. Kelyth kept staring at the door in silence.

"Kelyth?" The hand came away from her wing. "Please, look at me?" Khadgar asked.

She turned to look at him, throat tight. Her pale eyes met his brilliant blue. His eyes wandered then, taking in her appearance. Her hair was black now, not the blonde of when she was alive or the blue of when she was a ordinary Kyrian.

And he was magnificent. Khadgar was strong, he still looked older than he should but he wasn't wizened and bent anymore. Kelyth had seen him while judging souls, and while guiding Ciel, but this was different. His hand on her arm was steady and warm. She could feel just how much she was shaking while he touched her.

"Will you come sit down?" He asked softly.

She let him guide her to the third chair. Her wings hung off the sides, and she stared at her folded hands in her lap while her... husbands, turned the chairs around to face her. Tidemother, she wanted to call them that. She longed to call Medivh her husband too, just as she had Khadgar before she died. They were both the fathers of her child, after all.

A moment of silence, shorter than before. Then a sigh from Medivh, then he was lifting her chin. "Kelyth, why are you so scared of us? Have we hurt you so that our very presence is terrifying?" He asked.

She shook her head.

"Words, love. Where is the chatterbox I loved to listen to, where you shared your opinion on everything?" Medivh's own words were so gentle, but Kelyth couldn't help but wince when he called her 'love'.

Khadgar took both her hands in his. They were sitting closer than she had realized.

"I-I would understand if. If neither of you wanted me anymore. Or had ever wanted me. I should have stayed away, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bothered-"

Medivh cut her off with a finger to her lips. He looked very sad. "Kelyth. Why would we not want you anymore? Because you are dead? Technically I am too, and Khadgar still wants me. And if we had never wanted you, we never would have laid with you. Rest assured, we have always wanted you."

Khadgar was rubbing the back of her hands with his thumbs. Kelyth's throat closed up. She glanced between the two men. Khadgar was smiling softly, while Medivh looked at her so gently and tenderly it almost hurt.

"You're sure?" She asked them, voice shaking.

Medivh learned even closer, and kissed her, hand still on her chin. Then Khadgar came forward, hands on either side of her face and holding her, kissing her too. "We're sure."

Kelyth wiped away tears, realizing after the blur was gone that they were both crying too.

"We missed you so much." Medivh said. "I didn't even know you had died until Khadgar and I reunited, and I am so sorry."

They were on the ground now, kneeling on either side of her chair, each holding a hand. Khadgar was rubbing her back while Medivh had a hand on her shoulder.

Kelyth shook her head. "I'm sorry for leaving you. I didn't think there was any other way. I didn't think of a way I could have survived until several years after, in Bastion. But I could have, which makes it so much worse."

"You are here now. You are with us now. We weren't lost to each other forever, we are together now." Khadgar said, emotion bleeding into his voice until he choked.

Kelyth slid off the chair and clutched the other two close, holding them tight and wrapping her raven-dark wings around them as she cried.

She was here. She was home, in Karazhan, with her husbands.

Maybe the three of them finally got their happy ending.

Oh wow Kelyth is me channeling literally all my gifted kid trauma lol. Like. She could do a whole bunch of magic already, so her teachers assumed she knew how she was doing it, and how she was doing different things. So she never got a foundation to understand how more complicated things worked. And then her teachers assumed that any time she didn't know the answer to a question that she was mouthing off and would humiliate her in front of the class. So Kelyth started mouthing off on purpose so she wouldn't feel as embarrassed.

Came as a huge shock to her when Medivh actually wanted to know what her answer was to something and wouldn't take her snark.

Some little things about Ciel's parents:

Medivh's nickname for Kelyth, Ciel's mom, was "Young Tempest"

During Legion, when Khadgar and Medivh were reunited, Medivh was shocked to find out that Kelyth had died less than a year after he had. He hadn't even known Kelyth was pregnant.

During Shadowlands, once Kelyth feels secure enough with contacting Ciel as a Kyrian while her daughter is alive, one of the first things she asks after is Medivh and Khadgar.

When Khadgar went through the Dark Portal to Outland to go close it, Ciel stayed with her maternal grandparents, Daelin and Katherine Proudmoore. (I have a personal headcannon that when the Dark Portal was destroyed, Khadgar was flung through a stray rift while Dreanor was freaking out, and sent back to Azeroth so he could raise Ciel.)

When Khadgar was shot down with his gryphon by orcs, just before becoming Medivh's apprentice, Kelyth said "fuck it" and dropped from her gryphon to go back him up.

Kelyth, being the second-born of Daelin Proudmoor, had gone through several magic teachers from Dalaran and other places and promptly surpassed them in knowledge and ability before the Council of 6 got sick of her and sent her off to Medivh with Khadgar.

Kelyth had originally planned to have a water birth with Ciel, as that is (in my headcannon at least) the tradition in Kul Tiras, and it is believed that if a child is born outside of the water that they won't be able to swim and might drown. Kelyth's last words to Khadgar are "Make sure she can swim."

When she arrived in Bastion, Kelyth looked for Medivh everywhere she could. She didn't find him, but still held out hope that they would meet again.

Kelyth Proudmoor character profile

Kelyth Proudmoor is the eldest daughter of Daelin and Katherine Proudmoor, and their second born after Derek.

She was also apprenticed to Medivh, the Kirin Tor was unable to teach her due to her own magical talents being greater than many of the teachers there, combined with her status as a "troublemaker" and general nuisance.

During their studies, Kelyth slowly fell in love with both Khadgar and Medivh, and got pregnant just before he was hit with the Curse of Age and Medivh was killed. However, she didn't realize until she and Khadgar had fled to Lorderan with the rest of the refugees after Stormwind was razed.

Shortly after that they were quietly married, and made some enchanted rings with their names engraved on the inside, and a small raven for Medivh.

Unfortunately Kelyth died while giving birth to their daughter, Ciel, leaving Khadgar to raise her alone. They were traveling back to Dalaran, and the baby came sooner than expected. There was no one to help, and Khadgar was left to watch his wife and best friend bleed out while he held his wailing baby girl.

In the Shadowlands, Kelyth was sent to Bastion, and began her journey to Ascension. However, she hid from her mentors that despite the manifestations of her memories and burdens appear and are defeated, she still remembers. She Ascended and to the knowledge of everyone else, she had no remaining memories.

When being sent to go retrieve souls and bring them back to the Shadowlands, however, Kelyth came across someone very unexpected.

Her daughter Ciel, now 11 years old, was awaiting judgment. From her.

Kelyth dutifully looked through her past and her future, and was relieved to find that Ciel should be returned to life. But her body was too grievously injured to return to.

Kelyth saw the beginnings of a soul bond between her daughter and the adventurer Cherwine, who had mentored Ciel and formed a sisterly relationship with her. Kelyth solidified the soulbind to slowly heal and maintain Ciel's body, and remained on Azeroth, keeping her daughter's soul close as she judged other souls.

Ciel and Kelyth stayed together for about four or five years, Kelyth catching up on all the mothering she missed out on and teaching her everything she knew, and Ciel getting to explore Azeroth and other worlds with her mother.

And then the day came when it was time for Ciel to go back. Kelyth knew that her daughter would remember nothing of their time together, and told her this. She didn't believe in lying to her daughter. Kelyth comforted her daughter through her tears, crying herself as she knew that even in the future when it was finally her time, Ciel would not remember her.

However, when Ciel left Torgast and came to Oribos, Kelyth was there. And Ciel remembered as soon as she saw her mother.

Personality: she's been described as "stubborn as an ocean volcano and just as angry". Kelyth is very determined and has a wit as quick as her spells. She is not very subtle, and hated the Kul Tiran politics, which is why she immediately lept at the chance to leave and go to school to become a mage.

Misc: Khadgar called her "Mermaid" or "Siren". Or "Kraken" if he was upset. Medivh often called her "Hurricane" or "Young Tempest."
