The NPC you're looking for is right by the "Surface Portal" It was a bit hard for me to see at first because of the opacity of the NPC.
I entered the portal before doing any of the quests after falling down the citadel.
I'm outside now, but I can't find a way to fly back down there. Any ideas? It seems to have changed once I entered the portal to come to the surface.
Great.

Description
The object is not a crystal at all, but some form of organ, encased in ice. As you touch it, your hand reels in horrible pain. You feel as if your hand has been cut, yet there is no visible wound. As you collect your thoughts, you hear a young boy's voice nearby. "You really shouldn't have done that."

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Tirion's Gambit
Just this morning, my scouts informed me of a Cult of the Damned procession leaving from Icecrown Citadel to the Cathedral of Darkness, bearing an artifact. And now I learn that it might be Arthas's own heart... a thing containing the last bit of his remaining humanity. This is a sign of the Light.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Time to Hide
You shouldn't have touched it. But now that you did, he's going to come looking for you. And he'll find you. Unless you hide yourself from him. Bring me blood from the faceless ones if you want to live!
