Only thanks to Salaark's magic keeping the pain at bay did Tista manage to follow her instructions and re-establish her connection with her Dragon side.
At the same time, the Overlord put Tista's other two life forces in stasis, allowing the silver star to reconnect with Tista and grow back to its original size.
"Now it's up to you, my child. Only you can bring your different natures together." Salaark said.
Those words gave Tista hope and turned her tears of sadness into joy.
She remembered the melody of her Red Demon life force by heart and she let it fill her whole being. Not just the symphony that the twin beasts' stars produced but also that of her human side.
Salaark interrupted her spell, freeing the life forces from the stasis as Tista replayed the melody over and over. Her three life forces danced to her tune, growing closer every time the tempo became faster, and distant when it slowed down instead.
