Spirit Taming

Chapter 603: One And The Same

Majestic. Unbeatable. The greatest force that could ever reign over the skies and land.

Those were the thoughts as Clark gazed at an infinite sky only those with the powers to fly well beyond the clouds had.

While Clark could somewhat feel that this was a dream, he struggled to rationalize it. These things were harder to understand, but even the system was not reacting when he was trying to use the analysis. Clark found that he couldn'

T even look away.

The blue green scales of the flying dragon were shimmering in the sun. but with each small growl or roar, the clouds below it shifted. Lightning began to play at the edges while a storm was formed. A hurricane. A typhoon. A great storm that could collapse a mountain if it desired.

"This power, is to little child."

The reverberating voice shattered the image in a golden flash. Eyes that seemed to peer through all that Clark could comprehend revealed a very familiar form. But even though Clark wished to call out to Crim who now flew where the blue and green scaled dragon had just been, he was unable to.

"Death was not the end for you child. Time has broken down what the dragon race truly is. There may be ancients remaining. You child, you carry the very marrow of what once was a dragon capable of controlling a world."

The feelings that Clark could sense from Crim were sadness. Great desire. Unimaginable worry. But they were not for his past. Not for where he had come from. Niot for the memories that had flooded in to him about being a massive dragon able to create storms and bend lightning to his will.

They were for the future.

The potential death he and Clark could undergo. As a slime dragon, he had been dead once. He managed to rise and understood that he had a second chance in a sense. An undead energy that had stuck with him because he was born of bone marrow from the very same dragoon he had once been.

"Do not weep child. My soul may have been sealed, but with it, I leave you to inherit the memories of what was once the great dragon race. Before we left to explore the will of creation. What you have the potential to be. Especially in your form. An ever changing form of slime."

The words rocked Clark and Criim to the soul. But Clark knew one thing for certain. This was no longer a dream. This was the flask. It had gained enough dragon energy and been opened. This was the materials that Crim had been given.

This was the dragon soul within that golden flask finally being opened and being taken for Crim's own strength.

"The name given by your soul bond. Crimson. I enjoy it, little child. I give to you, a chance to rise. Awaken the deepest of your blood. The very core of what it means to be a dragon.

Rise as a dragon should. Become more."

There was a violent shaking within the mental world. Within the dream. Clark could feel his bond with Crim being twisted and pulled. But he could also hear Crim calling out. An unwavering promise that the two would not ever be separated.

What Clark had never understood or been able to grasp was simple. Even small to what some people would think.

Crim was glad. He had been alone for too long. As memories like dreams had come to him of this great dragon flying, Crim understood that he, in his past life, had been alone. Hundreds of years alone.

By the time that dragon had perished and Crim began to form, he was still alone. If he had not been found. If he had not been sold as an egg. If Clark had not spotted him, he might still be alone. With no family. No bonds.

No strength. Nothing.

But Clark was there. Holding on to his bond and vice versa. Neither allowed that bond to be severed. Even with some ancient will of dragons allowing Crim to gain strength beyond what he expected. Awakening the deepest parts of what it meant to be a dragon.

Before Clark could speak anything or even try again, he felt as if tranquil waters formed all around them. He looked out at the sky and realized it was endless stars reflected in a calm pool of water. The very same effect as the lunar pool within his edens end taming space. Instead of the moon though, was endless stars being reflected. An amazing sight.

'The system has recognized a massive change. Information about Crimson has changed. Analysis about Crimson has changed. Bonds between the user, Clark, and the tamed beast Crimson have changed.'

'An unfathomable event has happened beyond what the will of existence and creation have expected. The system congratulates the user and Crimson.'

'The second spirit beast has been bonded at a soul level. The second spirit beast has been awakened. The user is being awakened…'

Clark jolted awake and looked up at the sky. He could see just through the jungle trees that the sky was perfectly clear. He could hear everyone else sleeping or keeping watch outside. But more than anything, he could sense that Devi had woken up and was very interested in the taming space.

Quickly, Clark looked within himself and saw that he definitely had matched the bonds that Devi and him had between the Crimson shifting form of what Crim was right now. The soul bonds between them were the same. As if Crimhad been born together with Devi and Clark.

'Celestial slime dragon- mythical

Due to awakening the very essence of what it means to be a dragon, the slime dragon Crimson has been awakened and allowed to follow the true path of dragons. The true path that was handed down through inheritances of the soul and blood.

With a core like a slime, this beast can shift and change their appearance to best suit what they are doing and what environment they are in. They have a unique typing called celestial which requires them to absorb energy from the very existence of stars.

Their alternative typings are defined by what they have absorbed. Currently, this dragon possesses the lightning typing made up of multiple elemental energies, the undead typing which has been changed to the death typing, and the soul typing which is due to the spirit bond being created and mixed with a beast that has the very same typing.

While growth may appear slow, this beast is able to stand above all dragons with unique abilities that only those that awaken the true path of dragons may have. This beast's intelligence has also grown significantly due to the changes in their bloodline.

While the red form matches what this dragon used to be, it is able to change its form and show off its true essence. The core made of starlight that represents the true life within this being. There are many aspects that are unknown by those that life in this age. They will be discovered through growth and strengthening of bonds.

The skill, true dragon majesty will allow all dragon beasts to understand the great strength this celestial slime dragon possesses. The additional skills are…'

Clark could not keep up with what he was reading. But when he felt a shift in the taming space, he looked to noticed that all the red slime had condensed and Crim was standing there. His eyes focused on Clark as he left the taming space.

The red slime body that had been what Clark was used to, now had slight flecks of gold starlight within it. Proof that Crim had changed down to his very core. Beyond that, Crim easily shifted to look just like any other young dragon would, but he definitely had a larger body than what he would have had before. Not to mention that he had very developed wings and claws to match.

"Crimson, you grew very well. Don't ever think you will be left alone. You are part of the family, just like Devi and Shy. So stick by my side forever, alright?" Clark felt Crim growl, but it wasn't the same as any angry growl. It was more like a purr of happiness. Of warmth.

Shy managed to wake up and see this sight to celebrate with Crim. She too could sense a change in what had happened. Devi was even more energetic even though he had been sleeping just moments ago as well.

"You two can do what you need you know, Crim can help me watch over you two as we wait for you two to grow too." Clark laughed a little when he saw how happy the other two were. Especially since Shy and Devi had been waiting for their chance to grow up a little with all the energy they had stored away. However, Devi motioned toward Shy and stayed close to Crim and Clark.

It was only right that the older brother watch over his younger sister after he did so for his younger brother.

Before Clark went back to his rest, he noticed that the eden's end taming space had changed. That it now held an open sky full of endless stars. Not a single cloud in sight.
