I saw Vascara start twitching while I was resisting very strong magic that was slowly overpowering me and then saw him use magic to burst his own heart. When I thought he was so stoic and nothing affected him obviously this human was no regular being he probably had the power of the gods. I needed to resist this and attack him directly before he could get into my mind and expose my deepest darkest fears but then I realized he was already in my mind SHIT.
I felt fear creeping in about the past he would reveal and my shame in how I advanced to this level but what could I do I was fighting the mental intrusion constantly but still I was still slowly being dragged into the first moment I encountered the dark side of the world on my 10th birthday.
The cave floor was covered in gold with my parents lying atop it I quickly ran up and started playing on top of my father a majestic Shadow dragon who mostly used his elemental affinity even to help humans who hunted us so often he saw the good even among the evil. My mother a majestic Crystal of Life dragon used her abilities to heal those around her I remember the day I chased a squirrel up a tree and fell off getting impaled near the heart by a rock beneath the tree and she rushed over and healed me within an instant and quickly asked me something I no longer remember but it was out of concern.
I remember my mother teaching me how to harness life to heal but I could never grasp it but I could easily turn it around and cause the life inside anything to decay or age highlighting my death affinity which allowed me to raise the dead but I never did so.
I remember my father taking me on my first hunt showing me how to manipulate shadows to conceal myself but I found my ability was darker and could conceal even my aura which was unnatural I know now but back then my father just looked at me with happiness knowing I was gonna be more powerful. I remember them taking me to meet other dragons and helping me to create relationships with other dragon children.
I remember playing with Rosalia a very talented nature Dragon who was so innocent she helped me later on in life. I remember the Day Of Death when both my parents died I saw a blond haired human with a great axe and tower shield charge my father swinging his axe my father dodged easily and melded with the shadows after telling me to run. My mother quickly arrived and tried to help my father but the other two who supported the axe man casted spells to immobilize my parents and started to torture them but they couldn't get the tears they wanted and they saw me.
The axe man started to walk towards me and my father managed to break out and attacked him using shadow bolts resulting in a tough fight where they had to kill him. My mothers rage burst out and she started to use all sorts of plants to attack them but eventually she died and in my despair I called out to their souls and forced them back into their bodies making them eternally undead bound to a rotting body constantly in pain.
These undead dragons easily killed the adventurers and contained their souls so they hid their pain for me and raised me teaching me how to harness my element more but they were constantly in pain but never showed it to me until they completely rotted causing me to see their souls trembling in pain. I looked for a way to cure them but the only way was to purify them and let their souls go on but I clung to them not wanting to let go.
I eventually realized after a couple years their pain was getting worst and they were getting more hostile to any life and their personalities were slowly becoming Unnatural like the undead they hated all living even me and began to curse and hate me so I looked for someone to purify their souls all light mages shunned me and told me to solve it myself so I killed their souls by absorption of them and I learned how much they loved me even when showing hate to stop me from caring about them and the fact that they hadn't changed it was all an act.
Why did I live. Why did I kill them forever they can never reincarnate but I shall always carry this burden even in my next life that I killed my parents permanently without mercy. I made them suffer for years without even regretting it. I hurt those around me after I knew that I fell into rage and become a Great Dead Heart Lich and made the area I lived uninhabitable and killed my young crush Rosalia. KILL ME KILL ME KILL ME KILL ME NO I SHALL KILL MYSELF.
