Meeting with the Dragon

After leaving the home of Ai, I returned to the same mountain where I had fought with Violet before. It was still there, silent but with tears in its eyes. It was unhappy, and I wished I could understand the meaning behind its sadness. I wished that fate had dealt it a different hand, but alas it was not to be.

We drew our swords and prepared to resume our battle, but it wasn't long before I was defeated again and falling from the waterfall. As I looked up at the full moon in the sky, I closed my eyes and waited for the end.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself standing in a gray room facing a boy who looked just like me, except for his blue hair, a gray color people say it's blue. He was kneeling down, holding onto his sorrow as he gazed out the window. I asked where I was and who he was. He replied that he was the dragon who had been looking into this world through the purple eye for nineteen years, an enemy who wanted to take your life. Our lives, rather. There was nothing we could do, no other way out. Now I understood what Ai had whispered to me before. This half-dark existence was part of me.

He said that if I wanted to free him, he would give me that right. He would even be happy about it. If we were going to fight, he wouldn't be able to stand up against someone like me with his weak human body after sitting in a room for so many years. I unsheathed my sword and handed it to him, saying that he could kill me and take possession of this body. I didn't have any desire to continue this life either. But there was another way, I said. Join me on a journey to destroy the curse of the black violet flower, so that we could put an end to our fate. Become a part of my existence so that we could continue to live together.

I lifted him up and held him in my arms, feeling like a part of me was returning to my body. Slowly, it began to fade away as my hair turned blue. It took some time, but eventually the gray room disappeared, and I found myself in a garden filled with black violet flowers.

When I opened my eyes, I had transformed into a dragon and was flying under the light of the full moon. I flew higher and found Violet, rushing towards him in my new form to resume our battle once again. But it wasn't an easy fight. Despite my newfound power, it was still a difficult struggle. Nonetheless, we continued until the dawn of a new day.
