A few thousand years ago, Kayden and the dragon were facing a soul war. The issue was that this was a completely individual war, as only Kayden had the ability to manipulate souls well enough to perform actions.
He had been studying what each part of the soul did for a long time. Whenever he had a hypothesis, he trained directly on the dragon. One of them was the manipulation of rooted memories.
This was an extremely delicate subject, as these parts of the soul were solid and remained rooted without any change regardless of what happened around them, Kayden took a long time to be able to break one of these memories in the dragon.
This action was like magic, while Kayden lived through one of the most traumatic moments of the animal's life, Nivus had his two wings being remade and becoming perfectly healthy.
