My Dragon System

Everyone in the room was equally as shocked as Bliss was, but at the same time, they hadn't seen what Ray had seen. If anyone had seen the statues, either underneath Avrion or even the statue that was covering the entrance in Kelberg. They both looked like an older version of Bliss.

"Ray, what are you saying, I'm just a student at Roland. Even I don't know what the divine being looks like?" Bliss cried out.

"The vision you showed me before." Ray said, "She was in it, along with Van."

The crystal was silent for a while before speaking, which was a first. It was strange for them to see an apparent all knowing god suddenly stop to think. Perhaps it was more human than the others thought.

"When you see visions that is one of the options of your future. However, I cannot see what you see. In a way, I can see the lines connecting everything into several different paths. There is a particular red line that I'm trying to avoid at all costs. I truly don't know if what I'm doing will bring us closer or away from that red line. But when I met you, Ray, everything that has happened so far has seemed to be bringing this world away from the red line."

"What does this have to do with her?" Ray said.

"Hey, I have a name you know?" Bliss said.

"Remember, when I stated when gods die, they are reincarnated into something else. Well, my death was an odd one. I was split into two parts. My body was reborn while most of my own power was stored inside a giant crystal. It was the price I had to pay for casting a large spell. The person over there, although she may not realise it, is also a part of me."

Bliss started to back away as she heard the Divine being's words. "No, no, that can't be, I'm my own person. I have my own memories, my own family." As she said those words, Bliss started to look at the steal door she wanted to do anything she could to escape.

But when she moved forward, the steel door, immediately shut behind her.

"I'm sorry young one, this may seem cruel, but it is your fate." The crystal said.

Before the overs could even react, something seemed to come over Bliss. Just like with Ray, a part of her had been dragged out of her body. Bliss tried to fight back, but it was useless. She didn't have the same will as Ray did.

Ray went to grab onto Bliss as he looked at the part of her that went into the crystal, but it was useless. His hands simply went through the transparent like figure, and then it was gone inside the crystal.

The crystal started to shine brighter than it ever did before and at the same time. The two other crystals located in the alure kingdom started to do the same. The light was so bright that the others were blinded for a second.

And then, everything was over. The crystal no longer shined its once blue colour. The room was now pitch black causing Mia to cast a small spell to light up the area. Now standing in front of the crystal, was Bliss.

"Bills are you okay?" Van asked.

Bliss then twisted her neck a few times and started to move her arms and legs slowly. "Our minds have now become one. Ray, I thank you for this. This was actually the next task I was planning to give to you. As a reward for bringing my body back to me, I shall answer any question you have."

"But before that." Bliss then took out her staff and waved it. Immediately two magic circles had appeared underneath Mia and Van's feet. "You two need to go back to the arena, they are waiting for you."

The magic circles lit up, and the two of them were teleported out of the area at once. There was no need to draw a magic circle like others, it was all done by a simple wave of her staff.

"Now it's our turn to go somewhere more private." She waved her staff once more, but this time nothing had appeared, and instead, she staggered to the floor on one knee.

"It seems I don't even have a fraction of my magical powers anymore." She said as she looked at Ray standing above her.

"You need to talk now." Ray said, "And give me one reason why I shouldn't finish you here right now. It's clear as day that you were the one who put me into this human form. The spell you were talking about earlier that caused you to go into these crystals. It was the spell you cast on me, wasn't it?"

The look in Ray's eyes was vicious. Bliss felt like perhaps she had been too naive. She had thought that Ray might have changed by now, but he still bore an incredible grudge against her.

"Wait, if you kill me now, then the spell will never be undone. You will never be able to return to your form." Bliss said.

[Dragons truth]

"Is what you just said, just the truth?" Ray asked.

But as he asked the question, what would usually follow never did happen.

"Of course, that won't work on me, I created the system. I designed it, so whatever skill you think you have in your bank is not going to work. So will you finally listen to me? As I said, I will tell you everything I know as soon as we get out of here."

Ray didn't seem to have a choice. Although he could use his brute strength to deal with her right here and now. If he wanted to know what was happening to his body, then he needed her alive. Also, he had some other question about the Shadow he wanted to know.
