Admiral Taylor:
I hesitate to guess what would have happened if you had not been there with the young Prince.Today, you put an end to Garrosh's plans.
You have undoubtedly saved thousands of lives, and most importantly, you brought Anduin back to us.
We are doing everything we can for the boy, but we can only wait and see.
I believe he has the fight in him. I must believe it...
[He chokes up and looks away.]

[As you gaze upon Anduin's lifeless body, you hear the sound of an incoming teleport. Two figures rush into the room.]
King Varian Wrynn:
Garrosh attacked my son...? Where is he?Lady Jaina Proudmoore:
Anduin![Jaina kneels before the body. Varian remains standing.]
King Varian Wrynn:
Anduin, what were you thinking? I should've sent you back to Stormwind!Lady Jaina Proudmoore:
He's alive, but his bones are shattered.King Varian Wrynn: [Desperation and rage fill his voice]
Send for Velen. Bring him here at once![Jaina stands to address the King. She draws her staff.]
Lady Jaina Proudmoore: [Barely containing her anger]
My King, I promise you. The Kirin-Tor will come down on Garrosh so hard his ancestors will reel. Blood will pay for blood![In a flash, Jaina teleports to Dalaran.]
King Varian Wrynn:
Jaina -[You sense the King is wary of the consequences of Jaina's coming actions, but he will not leave his son's side.]
[He kneels before him.]
King Varian Wrynn:
I will end Garrosh for this. His Horde already crumbles beneath him. We will deliver the final blow.[He looks up at you.]
Champion, you and Anduin thwarted the Warchief today and won the Alliance a critical victory.
[He lowers his head.]
But please, leave me now. I must tend to my son... and prepare for our next battle.

Garrosh is right over there, and he's going to ring that bell at any moment. We don't have time to wait for my father's army. This is our only chance to stop him! I'll attempt to appeal to his senses before resorting to using the Harmonic Mallet. Charge in whenever you're ready, <name>.
