"So when will we preform this blood ritual that you mentioned?" I ask realizing from the way she spoke that we won't be performing this blood ritual right away.
Amaterasu claps her hands. "You are indeed very bright! After you refine my blood essence and merge the energies you are now harnessing with it in order to forge your own dragon aspects. These dragon aspects are not necessarily to become a dragon but it will help your cultivation in the future when you attempt to attempt to ascend godhood. Every dragon god must form at least one aspect in order to walk the trail of godhood." Amaterasu explains to me.
As I follow along her explanation I realize that she is asking me to form 3 different dragon aspects… one for Lightning, one for Time and the last one for Death itself. I can't help but think this woman is insane. "How many different dragon aspects have you formed?" I can't help but ask. She pauses and almost inaudibly responds. "I only have the aspect of fire…" she says shyly, almost embarrassed. My soul form feels as if it was just dunked in a bucket of ice water.
"You only have one aspect and you're asking me to form 3 of them? Do you know how hard that would be?" I question her. Amaterasu looks down at the ground dejectedly and coughs out "As a dragon you also need to form an aspect for the fire element as well… it's a basic requirement for us dragons to ascend to godhood.." She says quietly. My eyes widen instantly at this new piece of information I am receiving.
"So I will have to form the fire aspect as well?" I ask her just for reassurance.
"That is correct, but you don't need to form that aspect right now you can form it in your next life if my plans go without anymore problems." Amaterasu responds with a smile.
"Wait my next life you say?" I inquire as soon as I hear what she said.
"Don't worry to much about that yet you still need to survive your current situation" Amaterasu chuckles as I let my mind wander.
"Alright so let's start this blood ritual that you mentioned!" I reply as I start to feel my blood boil, I finally feel like I have a chance at keeping my life, so to speak, even if it will be in a new world.
Amaterasu nods her head and then precedes to cut open her wrist and exactly 3 drops of deep scarlet red blood float out before her wound closes as if nothing happened.
"I'm leaving these 3 drops of blood essence in order for you to absorb, make sure you don't waste this opportunity little Ghost." She starts to speak but her voice and figure start to fade out of my sea of consciousness.
"Alright I won't let you down!" I reply toward the fading Amaterasu. "But wait how do I refine these blood drops?" I ask her before she fades completely. My question seems to startle her as she begins to panic.
"How could I forget to tell you! You first have to..." Amaterasu begins to explain but before she could finish she disappeared from my sea of consciousness. All I can do it stare dumbfounded at the space she was standing in.
"She really forgot to explain it…" I say to myself, I then turn my attention toward the 3 floating drops of blood essence that are now in my sea of consciousness. I have no clue on how to start to refine them.
"Damn that forgetful dragon" I grumble under my breath.
-Meanwhile-
In the void as soon as Amaterasu faded from Auldens sea of consciousness she reappeared by his side looking at Fate with a smile on her face.
