The first part of the scripture that was written in dragon tongue mentioned a singular being, Shape Shifter of the Divine, Trickster of the profane. Although at first glance the titles may seem as if they belong to two different entities, the rest of the paragraph confirmed that it was indeed one.
What was more... It was that according to the passages, the Shape Shifter of the Divine, and trickster of the profane was a primordial being, one on the same level as Ariel, and the other heads of the Dragon Houses.
If he was getting this right, The primordial being had attempted to kill Shi whilst being consumed by sinful wrath... Well, attempt was maybe the wrong word, He succeeded in it.
Now it made sense, why a supreme of death could die. And how it happened before Ariel or the other supremes of the Shivalkulan house could react. Certainly, if it was a primordial aided by his children, who should be of the supreme rank, then it was entirely possible.
