Dez, Ethan, and Suki stood in front of a face. The face of a female. A face made of light particles so large it covers all skies. But No matter how you look at it, this face was uniquely gorgeous. A face that seems to be sleeping like an angelic baby. It looks so real you wish you could touch it. This face was actually floating in space.
The surrounding of this face looked like it was out of this world. They could see worlds and stars moving around them. Stars, worlds, beautiful nebulas formations move about inside this world. Dez and his friends had a feeling that they were on top of this universe having Galaxies on their feed.
Looking at the humanoid face Raisel spoke.
"This is Dream."
"She is always sleeping but can interact with others while she is sleeping."
Looking around them Dez, Ethan and Suki felt more than amazed.
Why?
because everything around then felt so real. Like they were indeed in outer space spacewalking on Galaxies. They could even interact with what was around them like it was totally real.
"This is a domain Dream created."
"You are no longer inside the forest but also this is not reality what you're experiencing at this moment. Your in her Dreamworld. What you experience here is real. But also just a dream. So you could think of it as an imaginary reality."
"This space changes depending on her mood. So every time you come here you may see something different."
Raisel looked at the floating female face with love and care. She has been with dream for a very long time. And has built a good relationship with her even though dream was not a soul companion of Emperor Kaihen yet.
"Dream, master wants you to look after these kids I hope you could share some benefits with them."
And mentally spoke.
"Look into that girl's heart for us, look if she has any evil intention approaching the young master. Or the empire."
A childish voice of a little girl sounded in the whole world.
"When will master come and visit me again?"
"I'm not sure Dream, why don't you visit master in his dreams." Dream has the ability to visits other's dreams and walk the dream-space of others entities. And sometimes she even takes a shape she likes to interact with others. But still feels lonely sometimes.
"But master never sleeps." Dream did try on numerous times but Kaihen barely sleeps.
"I guess he will come as soon as he has some free time." This is also part of Emperor Kaihen character. When he focused on his experiment he sometimes forgets about time. And even about others.
"But master sent young master here and told me to introduce you to him today maybe you could like him and his dreams and become friends if you wish."
"Young master?" that young angelic face actually move at that moment and "looked" in the direction of Dez.
"Yes. The young master. Masters son."
"He gives me a different feeling."
"Everybody has a different feeling. He's not master he's his son."
At this moment the world change into beautiful splendid colors Without realizing it everybody was riding a cloud that later descended to a valley full of roses.
Those that were present could feel the wind blowing on their bodies. smell the roses and feel the ground under them like it was just a simple swap of reality. The face that use to be made of light particles changed and now grew from the roses in the valley. it was made of the roses stems and leaves. And a rain of roses made up her hair.
A voice of a young girl reverberates in this world. "You and your friends can lay down young master. And close your eyes."
Dez had yet to speak all this time but still silently lay down and close his eyes. Seeing Dez actions Suki and Ethan follow him. They also laid there and close their eyes.
From the face of Dream 3 leaves fell and each of the leaves landed on the head of each of them.
From the leaves on their head dream energy seep into their body and mind. And each of them had a dream of their own.
Ethan dreamed of a man walking barefooted on the land of burning fire. A land of magma and chaos. The sky was covered in ashes. The air felt thick and stuffy. Every time He breathes in he felt his longs burning. But he liked it. he felt like he was having the best natural cigar in the world. Smoking the ashes of a volcano. That was life.
Ethan In the body of this men walked for hours and days in the same direction. The direction of a gigantic volcanic mountain in the distance. He didn't know how many days have passed. It may have been days or weeks it may have even been years he didn't know. he didn't stop for a single moment not to eat, drink or sleep, but he singled-mindedly walked in the same direction. Not a single obstacle he came across in his path made him change direction.
There were all types of fire and lava beasts attacking him. But not a single beast stood a chance in his way. his feet never stopped moving but his hand went like vicious pincers grabbing and crushing everything that came in front of him. He walked unhindered in the same direction.
After men know how long. Ethan in the body of this men finely came to the foot of this gigantic volcano.
Stepping on the volcano the body of this men started to change. With each step, his body grew bigger. He was close to 2 and a half meters, to begin with. but with every step he grew even more, he went to 5m than 10m than 20 than 40 with each step his body size Doubled.
Until he was over a thousand-meter high titan Having reddish skin That had a metallic luster to it. Each step shook that gigantic volcano that seems to erupt in anger and frustration. From the Depths of this volcano, a behemoth much bigger than him emerged from the erupting magma. Seeing each other a devastating battle followed. And Ethan was living it in body and soul.
His power!
Every attack. Every time he got hit he felt the raging, boiling power inside of him. every time he got hit he felt like he got stronger, Wilder, and even more ferocious. The more damage his body receives the more Powerful he became. Ethan was feeling the deep thirst for battle a madness brewing deeply inside his heart. The more powerful he became the crazier his fighting style became that feeling was intoxicating Ethan was feeling extremely addicting to this power. But every time he felt he was going to lose Himself and lose control, he or better said his ancestor was able to keep it under control it was madness, but a controlled madness. it was a boiling rage like exploding volcano but it was a controlled rage. no matter what he did Or how strong he got he was always in control of himself. Ethan was with him in every move he used and with each hit he receives he felt them all like he was living the moment. The bloodthirsty feeling like a Ferocious beast ready to explode.
He felt it!
Like he was that titan at that moment. He was in fact at that moment, In soul and body that ancestor. His very own ancestor who has carved his name in history was a man who lived for battles and battles only. And was feared by others for his sheer force and brutality. Ethan was living and learning from this very ancestor the way of the raging titan.
It wasn't only Ethan but Dez and Suki had their own ancestral embodiment.
Suki wasn't in the body of a human but in a body of a dragon. An ancient paragon Dragon.
A dragon so massive it was leaning its Ancient body against a mountain. And was still taller than it. This was the same central Mountain that tower over the mountain range in the Loong's territory.
Suki could feel the tremendous power hiding deep inside his body a power that apparently she was gathering for some reason. Even so, the power was slowly but surely seeping away. Like a leak in a tank that was slowly dripping away.
Rising its body slowly but surely Suki stood up. Around her, millions if not billions of dragons of all types and sizes flew around her anxiously. all of them were her children's all her kin. She could see and feel the emotions of them all like they were part of her very being. Raising her head she looked at what seems to be a gigantic sun burning above her head and an arrogant female voice sounded in her ears. "I came to collect your body you old Reptile." Calling a dragon a reptile was considered a big offense. "You're reaching your limits why don't you just die already. It's time for you to give me that old dragon heart. Maybe if you surrender I may spare your little snakes and lizards around you…. What you say, old sweetheart.
Rage!
Unstoppable rage burned in Suki's dragon chest.
"You have truly fallen Volmira. But you will never step on a Dragon's Pride. No dragon here will ever surrender."
EVER!
Every dragon raised there head and roar like a exploding wave of anger.
Looking at the star Suki's eyes seem they could pass anything in front of her and look directly at Volmira. she saw a beautiful, voluptuous woman. Standing inside a palace. Flames bent at her will and dances in her presence inside the palace which was extremely large. it was build from what appeared to be solidified fire that turned into a type of Fiery crystal.
That was the beginning of a terrifying war that happened billions of years ago on this continent. Even before the very first human laid a step on this land.
Sadly the winner of this battle wasn't Suki and she felt each kin's pain. Each kin lost. experienced the suffering, the pain, and death of all her kins. the pain was molding and forming something deep inside her she felt them all and especially the death of herself when a sharp claw of an equally gigantic Phoenix bore into her chest and ripped off her heart. She felt everything every inch of her being and every part of her body the body of an ancestral paragon dragon felt pain and powerlessness. The pain and sorrow of her kin. The will of Her Descendants, their desire to take revenge.
"Your day has finally come. every time you kill me in the past I came back and this will be the last time, it seems that after billions of years even you will succumb to time. But don't worry because this time I will surpass you."
"There is nothing you can do to stop the rise of the phoenix clan."
How she was related to this race of dragons Suki didn't come to know but she already felt she was one of its closes kins unlike before. Especially her heart.
Dez was also having his personal experience. But in his case, he was standing with his back to a group of people.
"Father, why do you have to do this? Your walking to your dead. It's absolutely foolish."
"Why not we already have another Emperor in our family."
"No, father you're the Emperor. The ruler. Why take this burden on yourself."
"Melika you don't understand it's not a burden but a promise."
"Nothing will change my mind or shake my will even if I perish in the process. I just wish you guys can live a good life and don't shame me when I'm gone. Don't shame the name Selklor. I hope this name can be craved in the lines of history. That is my will and I hope you guys can hold to my last wishes."
After saying those words this man took to the skies. With rings appeared around his body and this man's body seems to dematerialize and vanish from the view of others. Dez saw the surrounding change. He suddenly appeared at a place that had a very disturbing smell. A land that had gray skies and red moons with bloody rivers. A land of corruption.
The land of the dead
Dez's body began to shine with a bright light color. The light came out of his body in rings and shot out in a 360 degree around him expanding to the far distance. Power ring after power ring went out eliminating the lesser undead. Destruction and disintegration of all undead in the vicinity.
A raging mad roar came from far away but he could clearly hear it.
"Disgusting vermin you dare enter the dead plane to hunt my underlings. You seem Tired of living. Death shall cleanse the world."
" you garbage, you think only you have the power to cross planes. You come to my land spreading destruction, why can't I cross planes to kill your filthy sorry ass."
"Today I will seal you for good and for eternity." Behind Dez's ancestor, 7 portals opened and out of them walked 7 Soul beings. An astral tiger. An astral lord. An astral chain that wraps around Dez's arms. And 4 different elemental lords of fire, Light, ice, and a lightning elemental descended around him
Chains of astral power shot out like hungry ravaging snakes ready to devour all the undead. The astral tiger called a rain of astral blast. All the elemental rained down attacks of fire, lighting light and ice on the undead. It was a terrifying massacre
Mortifying wails of evil spirit, ghost, and undead all sounded from all places and rushed in a single direction. Dez fought and fought he didn't know how long it took, or how many abilities he used, it took days maybe weeks. In all this battle he had lost track of time. But at the end, Dez stood there, with a sole undead in front of him bound by rings of astral power. Suppressing and containing all his evil powers. But Dez's ancestor had also suffered some losses his astral chain lay in pieces and his ice and fire elementals couldn't be found. His astral tiger had parts of his body missing his astral lord was killed too, and Dez's right hand had a black and decaying look to it you could see flash started to fall apart and decomposing. Ugly screaming faces creeping up his arm which he had to use his astral power to push back and suppress but still wasn't able to cleanse this evil curse.
You foolish human do you believe this will change anything? "Death is my only reward. The undead shall rise and the death shell comes to all who live. No life can stand in our way. All life shell join the marching legion of the death for eternity.
This is just the beginning. I'm just the scouting platoon. You soon shall know sorrow your soul will forever suffer.
gwagwagwa you all will perish… PERISH IN AGONY !!!!…
Shut up!
You annoying cringey bag of bones. Who said ill kill you. Do you think I don't know that after killing you, you will resurrect in the death continents.
Waving his hand Dez sent out a ring and seal the skeletal head completely in an astral band.
Moving back Dez Appeared back in the normal world. After appearing his eyes landed on a huge and mighty city in all its glory. I wonder how much time has passed?
Not long after the 3 kids laid down they all woke up one after another. They all seem to have a different aura around them. It seems they all had changed in some way or form.
All of them had lived their own experience.
Memories that lay deeply dormant inside their blood. Inside their genes.
Memories so profound that only Dream could dig them out.
After standing up they all express their gratitude to Dream they were sincerely grateful. Not only did they understood how to use the bloodline powers they even live it and felt it. They will surely be able to dig out their power and step higher than ever before with their abilities.
Not only were they bless with knowledge and a deeper understanding of their bloodline but also living memories of their ancestors. Each took something with them. Be it a steadfast mindset, unbreakable will, or the deeper link with the dragonkin.
"Raisel could you take us all outside the dream forest I think we all desire to train as soon as possible."
Looking at the eager faces of the kids Raisel happily nodded
But before she left she spoke telepathically with dream.
"Anything?"
"No nothing she truly has some Genuine feeling for the young master."
"Ok good to hear that."
"But it seems her father seems to be worried that our empire is Expanding too fast and feared that we will take over the whole continent."
"I will share this information with the master."
"Ok, it's time to go back to the city."
"Thanks, Dez this was a very unique experience. I'm very happy and grateful." Said Suki
"Yea buddy this was A-freaking-mazing."
"Why do you have to say it like that?"
"I don't care I'm happy so let me be me."
