TheWoWDBExperienced a bug where the quest did not complete after killing him. Tried dropping the quest and re-killing, no success. Tried dropping, relogging, re-killing and no success. Tried to leave the area and coming back, no success. It eventually worked when I moved the mob away from the center of the lake, towards the NPCs, then it finally completed.

The key for quest completion is to make sure your friendly NPC is outside of the middle area when the mini boss dies. The trigger happens when she runs back into the middle area and it repels her. The easiest way to do this is to drag the mini boss anywhere outside of the middle area, making sure your friendly NPC Niyu follows you.
Pulling the boss to the NPCs worked for me. Thanks!

Description
Darkness grasps the heart of Droman Krelnor, as he grasps the heart of the grove. Anima drains from the heart, nectar taken from ripened fruit. It must be stopped. Foul magic bars the way. Anima in peril, anima the salvation. Beseech Te'zan. An old soul, brimming with anima, the spark to ignite our hope.
