One Body, One Spirit, One Soul

The party followed the thorny bear into the portal bringing along both Theo and Selia who were starting to bleed all over.

When going through the portal it was as if they had gone through a curtain, they saw only verdant vegetation and big and might animals in the distance, they also felt weird in this place, Trag and Emmarel felt like he was in a dream, it felt like his body was only slightly corporeal, his body would go between physical and illusory.

The two dragons seemed to awake from their stupor, only to find themselves in much pain, their bodies felt as if it was ripping itself apart, like every cell was repelling each other, it was a horrible feeling that they couldn't describe.

"My name is Ulfar young ones, you need to take your true forms, otherwise we may not be able to save you... I have already called upon those who can help us heal you both, hold on until they come!" he said while transfering life to their bodies, mending and holding their bodies together.

Soon, a stags came close to them, he was white as the moonlight and had stars in his antlers, he looked at Trag a if recognising something and then looked at the duo who began to open their eyes.

Theo and Selia were in their dragon forms already, but they instead of the silver were changing colors rapidly, the five dragonflights colors would flash in quick succession.

"You both are not natural in a way, your will is scattered and chaotic, almost as if there were many in one, fighting amongst each other..." said the calm stag.

"Lord Athair is there a way to save those two?" Asked Ulfar while giving a small bow.

"There is... they need to just to make those fighting and conflicting Wills to come to peace... they later need to allow such Wills to become their bodies. Be warned that this may change them, if they are not able to retain themselves. For the soul guides the spirit and the spirit is gate for both the body and to the spiritual world." Said the mighty Athair.

The stag eyes glowed with starlight inside, while he looked into Theo's eyes, as he checking something.

"You should be fine... your soul does not look to be conflict, even if it is divided... but her..." he said while looking at Selia.

"Even if she remains above the storm of the many memories and identities, she seems to be unsure of who she is... she might lose herself among many Wills." He gave a explanation that I least wanted to hear.

"Is there really no way? I asked, how can I help her? There must be a way!!" I screamed at the stag.

The stag did not mind the tone with which I talked to him, knowing it was due to grief instead of disrespect.

"There are many ways to change oneself, the Dream is but one... as for which is able to aid you... Even I may be outmatched. But you can put her to rest in the Dream until you find such a way. Atleast she will remain the same for a while longer than on the physical plane." Said the wise stag looking to comfort the tragic dragon.

"I... Can you teach me how to reconcile the Wills inside me? I would be grateful if you could watch over Selia until I find a solution."

"I could, but there is a request I would do for such favour... aid me in cleaning the forest and removing the infection in these lands. Then I shall protect her until you come back."

After hearing that he wanted me to help him clean the place, I remembered about the Emerald Nightmare, something that came about when the Old Gods set their foot into the Emerald Dream, corrupting it to the point where the Green Dragonflights almost came to an end, even leading to the death of the Aspect of Dreams Ysera to be corrupted and killed.

The Nightmare was still not widely spread, it would still take some decades before it reached a terminal point... it was doable to clean this area of the Dream, even if it wasn't I would still do it for Selia!

"Very well, help me with my condition and let Selia sleep... I will clear this land for you!"

Soon the stag shook its antlers at me, five diferent dragons flew out of me, each a diferent desire, a diferent opinion and diferent purpose. Those were the Wills inherited from the different dragonflights. Athair soon called out to my own Will, who came from my soul, who constituted my very being with mind, emotions and thoughts.

"You will have to subdue those Wills, bring them to under submission and make them yours, good luck." he said as my thoughts turned blank.

-----

Soon I saw myself inside a deep cave, the mountains above, the core of the earth below, a black dragon rested in the cave, his sleep was heavy and his breath felt as he held the world on his shoulders.

As I approached the dragon opened its eyes, it looked at me and earth churned and shook, the elements went into disarray and turned active, as the dragon roared at me, he sent a devastating wave of feelings over me, I felt overwhelmed me.
