(A few minutes earlier )
That Humanoid Dragon sat on the ground and started to focus his mind, his whole body was glowing like a moon, his horns were also glowing red,
" ( Sam, I've been being with you since your 2nd birthday, it's been more than sixteen years I was being a part of with you, and I witnessed everything about your luxury life, your expectations, your experiences, and your emotions, you're a good person, Sam, but I was selfish, I dragged you in here for my intentions. This world is corrupted, power is more valuable than life, one day, this world will conquer you, I was just like you but I was too careless, but today is your day, and I have to wait for my own time, at that day, you will ask for my help. After I insert my spine into your body, you will be reborn as a new being, a tribrid, Demon, Human and Beast, you had gone through so many troubles because of me and I hope that one day, you will forgive me, ) "
Sam's body was started to burn in the Hell Flame, and the Hell Flame was spreading all over his body, and Sam was slowly losing his consciousness,
" Master, we have less than one minute to save him, Hell's flame is spreading his whole body, you have to hurry up, or we will lose him forever. "
Humanoid Dragon's dark spine slowly came apart from his back, which was nearly a death experience for him, he was enduring so much pain during the progress, Shadow Dragon was trying to help his master, but he took the spine and plant it in Sam's body,
That Dragon's Black Spine went through Sam's body and joint with his spine, Sam's body burning also vanished.
( Sam, you're so brave, you defeated me with your mental strength, so keep my spine as a gift, It will make you stronger, much strong enough to ensure that Hell Flame's heat, and also it will help you to merge your two types of energies into one, once my spine will attach with your body you can hold the Hell Flame into your hands ) Shadow Dragon, I lost the half of my powers today, so I need to restart my cultivation, so I need to go back into that crystal, Shadow Dragon, he wounded very bad by your Black Flame, so you have to give him the Blood Moon Scarlett Flower herb, it will help him to heal his wounds, "
" But, that herb is very precious, we can use the Ice Lotus, why Blood Moon Scarlett, Lotus will heal him, also Blood Moon Scarlett is very dangerous, Who knows, maybe it will affect his blood system, "
" Yes, I know a little bit about that herb, and it is very dangerous but Sam has my spine now, so he won't affect by the herb, don't worry, it will help him to heal his wounds also it will help to attach the spine with his spine. "
" But, I.. "
" Shadow Dragon... "
" Master, I can't, it's only growing on Blood Full Moon, and it's very very rare, if I gave that herb to him, we have to wait for the next Blood Full Moon, and that takes 10 thousand years. "
" Zen, that's my command, after he wakes up, you have to give him that Blood Moon Scarlett herb and no arguments, it's final. "
" you never called by my name, I forgot it, are you serious then..... okay ill give him the Blood Moon Scarlett Flower, it's my promise to you, "
" Your promise is enough for me, I know you will never break your promise. " Humanoid Dragon also transferred some dragon energy to evolve Sam's bones, so he can recover soon,
" ( I think it's enough to attach my spine in his body, but you have to endure so much pain, I hope you will succeed in that progress. ) Zen you're my only trust, keep him safe "
" Master, your wish is my command, but what about him? will he be able to accept Sam as his lord, what will he do, "
" Let's see, how Sam gonna face him, he was the oldest and strongest of our race, even if he hates humans, he will accept Sam as his new lord, or he will die on Sam's hands, "
" Master, It was you, you brought the two brothers to this world, and changed their destinies, his demon mask, you transformed your energies into that mask, so he was able to change into a demon. After you separated your spine, you lost your powers, and now he won't be able to change, what are you gonna do about it? "
" I told you, he's a half-human and half-demon, but within three days, his body will start to change, it will change his form as a Dragon Beast, then soon, he will become tribrid, also his demon wolf energy and his dragon energy will merge into one and lead into new energy, let's wait and see what's gonna happen to him, "
" I think it's time to take my leave, I hope we'll meet very soon, " Humanoid Dragon's body slowly started to fade, he was looking at his hands, his body started to turn into smoke,
" Good luck with your life, hope we meet again in the future. "
********
Sam slowly opened his eyes, he felt severe pain in his back and his arm was fully damaged by the Black Flame but his body wasn't burning anymore, and he completely absorbed the Hell Flame Crystal.
" ( What's going on, and am I still alive?, how? How did I survive from the Hell's flame, who saved me? and where is that Shadow Dragon, I don't see that dragon here, then are they left me to die ) "
Sam's vision started getting better and better, but he was holding the injured hand but his back was hurting him so much, and also a little bit of blood was coming from his mouth, Sam wiped that blood immediately.
" So you awake now? it's so good to see you alive, how do you feel now Sam? are you alright? "
" Who are you? are you the one who saved me? " an old man was standing in front of him, he was touching his long beard, his hair was white and he was wearing a black cloak,
" No, I didn't, my master did. "
" Master? who is your master? " Sam slowly approaching that stranger,
" That's not important anymore, you have to listen to me. " Sam's eyes looked at that the surrounding for escape entrance, but he couldn't find any doors,
" ( There are no doors here, I am trapped in this unknown place, where is that Shadow Dragon, it surely knows about the exit. ) "
" It's waste of time for looking for that Shadow Dragon and his master, they were gone, so don't look for them, come on, show me your hand, "
" Why? "
" I'm trying to help you, Sam, master ordered me to heal your wounds, so show me your hand, "
" Who are you? what is this place? "
" I'm Zen, and I this is your Mental State, where you can cultivate your abilities here, "
" Mental State? is that a realm? "
" Yes, some sort of, but first you have to trust me, "
" How do you know my name? "
" I know everything about you, now come here, In this situation, you will certainly need the herb, it will heal your injuries and also it'll stabilise your Nine Chakras, so you can start your cultivation. "
" Nine Chakras? "
" Sam, normally a human's body made from five elements, and when a human child is born, the nine chakras are formed along with the body, but first you have to eat my herb. "
" What herb? "
" This herb, " Zen bite his finger and dropped a blood drop in the land, after a second, and a red flower grew from the blood drop, Zen plucked that flower, suddenly the whole place was surrounded by the smell of blood, Sam slowly felt unwell, he was closing his nose, but his condition became worse.
Sam was looking at the flower and the blood smell was coming from that mysterious herb flower, Sam didn't want to eat that flower, because of his illness and it started when his mom died, after that moment, he became afraid of blood, also he refused to step into the hospitals, it's like he had a phobia of blood, whenever he saw the blood, he was getting sick,
" Mr. Zen, that flower, please take that away from me, or I'll... " Sam felt dizziness, and his hands and body started to tremble, his heart rate also increased,
" ( Oh, no, he's afraid of blood, why did I forget that I have to think another way, but I can't do anything here, what should I do, ) Sam, I know about your current conditions, it's just mental illness, you have to overcome, just think about your mom, she needs you, your brother, think about him, you can't give up on them, I know, you're stronger than this, come on Sam, "
The memories of his mom were running into his mind, her love, and her last smile before death, he was getting worse and worse, but suddenly Sam's mom hugged him from behind.
" It's okay, Sam, I'm here now, mom is here, " His mom was hugging Sam tightly, but it was just an illusion made by Zen, he was creating some of Sam's good memories,
" Thank my master, his teaching helped me now, but I can't hold that trick for a long, I need to stabilise his mind, come on Sam, just fell her voice, she is the only person who will cure your fear, "
Suddenly, Sam saw a new illusion, his mom was lying on the bed and looking after a baby, she was singing a song for the baby, Sam also remembered his childhood memories, it was very precious for him,
" Sam, I didn't leave you, I was always with you my little boy, you have to stay strong, look at me, you promised me to look after your little ones, you can't give up, I never teach you to give up on your duties, now stand up and be a man, if you still have fear, just breath and fell your heartbeat, I'll be there as your heartbeat, "
Sam's body stopped trembling, his heartbeat also became normal,
" Okay, that's worked, Sam will get better, I have to stop the illusion trick or he'll find out everything about my trick, " Sarah slowly vanished,
" Mom, if that's your wish, then I'll become stronger, it's a promise, " Sam slowly stood up and walk towards Zen, and took that herb from his hand,
" Sam, be careful, the herb youre holding in your hand, is Blood Moon Scarlett Flower, it's very strong and effective, don't eat it as you did before, "
" What? "
" I was talking about the Hell Crystal, you ate it directly, that's why you faced nearly a death experience, you have to use your flame to purify it first, "
" Purify the herb? "
" Yes, hold that herb in your right hand and burn it with your Hell Flame, that's the way to purify the herb, what are you looking at me, hold that herb into your hand, "
" Okay, then? "
" Then, summon the flame through your hand, why are you looking at me, Sam, don't feel weird, that Hell flame that you absorbed is burning inside in your body, just feel it, "
" ( Okay, just feel it, Sam, it's inside your body, you can summon it, come on you can do it, ) Yes I believe, I can do this, ' Come Forth my Hell Flame, ' ( is it working? ) " Sam closed his eyes while he was summoning the flame,
" Look at your hand Sam, you finally did it, now increase the heat, " Sam slowly increased the heat of the flame, after some seconds that herb started glowing, and the blood smell also completely erased,
" That's it, you purified the herb, now eat it all and relax your mind, " Sam ate the herb and closed his eyes, suddenly he felt he was drowning in a blood pond, and he couldn't swim well because of thick blood, Sam was kept drowning deep.
" What's happening, I can't swim here, I have to go to the surface. " Sam was kicking the blood so hard, but he kept growing,
" Sam, I know that you can hear my voice, it's not real Sam, you're not drowning in a blood pond, so don't fight with it, just relax your mind, lose your muscles, "
" ( Yes, I don't have to fight it, just keep calm, it's very easy, just breath. ) Sam's injury was healing itself, and the flame wounds also healed, after some minutes, Sam slowly opened his eyes, when he opened his eyes, he saw a Blue Dragon standing in front Zen.
