Welcome to Gaia! ::

Grim nodded unable to speak making fighting movements pointing as if to say Sodain's fighting the intruder now and seems fine to him.

Sodain side stepped the attack punching the attacker in he side getting the ribs firmly but not breaking a bone from the speed of this man Sodain easily matched his speed without shadow step. Once impacted Sodain jumped backwards if the attacker looked at Sodain he would see a young kid.

Grim nodded writing in the air. "I can until Sodain calls me or tells me other wise I am your guard." He said looking to see her mother, sister and brother enter the room. Her mother just stared at Grimlord and blinked a little "Who is this he is so bright." She said putting sunglasses on.

Sodain stood still but at the last minute moved not away but his upper body as illusions of a dragon and phoenix appeared behind Sodain a wing of each touching Sodain. "Undying one's banishment technique number 50 purifying lightning fist!" He said his hand glowed with white light and just moved doing left jabs in a second of time hitting all over the mans chest over 1,000 times hen slammed both palms twisting them opposite directions as a large blast of white filled and shot upward into the air from the white light barrier. Not really needing Grim's presence this fight. Though did tap into Grim's power through the contract burned into his chest. Sodain focused on driving the possessing corruption out of this shadow kin person to return him to himself.

Sodain stood huffing over this man and once the light filtered out of the baiier there was a crowd near by and Sodain sat on this man's chest placing his hands upon him and the fire phoenix and dragon wings emerge again like what happened when he purified Solaria. One he did this since this barrier was see through like glass people seen like a lot of black mist or smoke rise out of this man and the phoenix form ate swallowing it then a strong pulse of white light shot from Sodain into the man that was corrupted or more like possessed by darkness then the fire withdrew back into Sodain a dark barrier covering Sodain again as he fell over convulsing just like when he helped his mother Solaria. the light barrier fell and the unconscious man was tied up and dragged to the dungeons placed in a null magic cell.

Sodain sensed how strained Silvia was and prevented her shadows from helping. An image of Sodain in shadow form appeared beside Silvia Leaning over whispering in her ear. "Silvia I am fine I can not die from this Even if my body dies I will get up a few minutes later perfectly fine i'm not called the undying one just for fun. I am because of three things Dragon, vampire and Phoenix an cursed to not die. Your pushing yourself and when I am done here I am coming for the cursed shadow inside you. Then when I come back from that we can go get married." Sodain said hoping the last part would distract her enough to lose focus but Sodain then vanished from her side like a puff of smoke being blown away by the wind but not before he used his shadow clone to kiss her cheek.

Sodain stopped moving as the dark barrier flickered vanishing looking dead. Several minutes passed longer then usual but then he jerks gasping and breathing holding his chest looking fine. Sodain groaned getting up staggering off towards the castle doctors wing looking weakened. Grim shook his head writing on paper. 'I am taking her to the special training facility" Handing it to Silvia's sister then picked Silvia up floating along the floor and out the side moving fast towards the fighting and training building where even if Silvia got a mortal wound the magic in there would keep her from dying. Where he would then work on pulling out the dark curse from her so Sodain didn't overdo himself.

Grim started the process once he confirmed the effect was working placing his hand upon her neck wound drawing out the moving energy that seemed to rage out and was alive. it wanted to live if removed from Silvia it would completely die since the original host was purified. Grimlord was bent on doing the job of guarding Silvia including purging her of the evil energy.

Her brother stood nearby ready to help if needed. Sodain was stopped by Solaria hugging him. "Stop it odain look how doing this has turned out look how weak you are right now . Stop and rest." She said sobbing.

Sodain hugged her back weakly "I will be fine mother I can't rest until all of the evil he brought here is gone. Its a cursed energy and I am the one who can get rid of it. even if it means I become its host to trap the last of it inside my own body for the rest of my life. I can not stop until its all gone." Sodain said prying himself away from his mother starting towards the castle again seeing Silvia's sister heading towards him. Sodain staggered nearly falling but held himself up trying to make it to Silvia.

Sodain sighed his eyes closing as he fell asleep "Grim will save her then... Good Now I can rest." He said before falling asleep right there.

Grim finished pulling out the energy then blasted it with super bright light energy and it screamed writhing like some odd creature and disintegrated Grims pale green eyes glowed white brightly as he did this and then pants once it was done as the magic finished healing Silvia in the training area but weakened though Silvia was safe Grimlord turned back into his sword form falling to the floor hard. Grimlord did this when he went to sleep himself.

"Normal? Oh no I am surprised there wasn't more trouble then this. Usually there is only 2 days break in the trouble we face here. But this time oddly there was 5 days before something went chaotic." The Dragon man with many scars on his face and one blind eye from seeing a lot of combat. "Though Sodain usually does not do much but shield he has not had the courage to do what he did today. And he had something medically added into him to block access of his phoenix powers what he did today should not have been possible. Something is different about him. The Sodain I remember before his sudden change putting my brother in the hospital for being scolded for losing focus during flight training. Using powers that he wasn't even taught because he is too young and unskilled to do yet.

But he was able to use them and went from a playful child to a more focused battle hardened person. After that accident with that one black sword he was so terrified of his own power he just hid away scared like a frightened child until a few days ago. It is like he is a whole different person and the way he ran from trying to train his power and actually wanting to train it even shocked the wisest in power training. Khan knows something about Sodain but he won't tell anyone. Trying to get a secret from him is like a human trying to kill a mountain bare handed." He said watching Sodain sleep twitching a little. But then he noticed something on Sodain's right wrist. Moving the sleeve there was a ruby crystal fragment fused into his arm but it was like it was partly there as if slowly growing out of his skin. "I...Impossible...." He said then looked to Solaria who held a large gem on her arm the same fused into her.

"Solaria have you ever given Sodain the ruby crystal even temporarily for training him if something happened to you to make it leave you if it chose him he would be ready to use it?" He asked a little worried.

Solaria got a confused look on her face and shook her head. "No. I never have I don't know how to transfer it like that why do you ask?" She said clearly confused.

The second time Silvia's sister touched it ruby sparks would crackle from it as is warning her away. Sodain groaned as Solaria hearing Silvia's sister question shook her head as she held her arm close to her chest. "I don't know why or how he got it. Though I explained how to talk to the spirit of the ruby to teach him if he needs more detailed instruction. letting him touch it on my arm but that was over 20 human years ago. and nothing showed up from it until now so I doubt it was from that if it was shouldn't he had the shard before now?" Solaria said trying to figure out how Sodain had a ruby shard.

Sodain lay there like he was still asleep but he heard what they was talking about. Before the scarred man spoke Sodain sat up and sighed. "Geez can't I get some sleep first? I suppose you have too many suspicions about me of the sudden changes and things I can do. Well before you ask I am Sodain not an entity of great power just myself. This is my second time living through this life of mine. At first I thought it was a memory tutorial for a new aspect I earned in the distant future. I somehow have a slight immunity to the forbidden zones magic,

The tree of life the tree the goddess of nature turned her body into to contain the magic that steals life from all things from an old battle between the gods and a great dark shadow. Well the tree in my time before I ended up being sent back here to replace myself to learn to master this new ability. The tree was almost completely withered away if that happens that energy escaped robbing life from the world and will leave a total barren dead planet. I usually have a great abundance of energy stored inside my body so I went into the forbidden zone's barrier passing through the deadly shadow energy, that it tried stealing my life but because of my inability of dying it only took a few scales off which regrew a few times over and I gave my excess energy to the tree of life to power it up and regenerate it well as you know those odd golden fruits that grow on it.

Well the tree dropped them and told me to eat them as thanks for my extra energy. I ate two and took the third it gave me the energy as I powered a little too much into the tree of life. So I could walk out of there. I put the third apple in my pocket and collapsed waking up in one of Wolgar's experiment machines well somehow the apple got inside with me and when Wolgar had me in it to help me regenerate to recover it was fused with my body. The golden apple I mean. At this time I did have an accident because the god power spirit of Phen is hidden inside my body that will wake up and come out eventually but when it awakens my body can't handle it all and it starts breaking down not regenerating and I did have to have metal infused into my body to keep my body from tearing down too much. The apple restored my body to the original state it was before Phen's power woke up inside me.

But the apple had a mix of life regeneration power and the death shadow power in the forbidden zone. It can make me turn plants into a new type to feed on that death shadow energy, So it is a way to free the forbidden zone of that energy but it's not a perfect blend of control if I release it the plant in a barrier with me turns to sludge then regrows wildly devouring the death energy that lingered. Mother nature talked into my mind telling me. 'It will take 10,000 years to master and not risk harm to anyone. Seek out the ancient dragoness that made the time dilation training room which does not work on you. She will know of a way to help you train.' So when I did she arranged for the people I gathered sensing some large dark force coming and I and Grimlord would not stand a chance alone against it. Even with the anti death shadow power I got as Wolgar called it.

She arranged for these selected warriors of various places to get proper training from the time room that becomes unstable if I enter it but then she knocked me down and blew an odd fire breath on me and I woke up flying in the air in dragon form which I crashed thinking it was a live through my memories thing. I crashed and your brother the only one willing to teach me yelled at me calling me worthless and it made me mad. So I attacked him thinking it was in just my memories. but later found out she actually sent me back in time. And I know its more then just my mind because the shadow crystal in my neck was gone still. From an operation to remove it so I stop passing out like I was dead when ever my phoenix powers started to activate.

And I could use my powers I had learned still and had my memories of everything that happened. So I figured my body even was sent back turned to energy to live inside my existing body in this time so I did not make time back in my time freeze until I returned. I lived through countless battles. losing mother, father, and the love of my life that made me so joyous I grew stronger sparring with her. As did she into a elite shadow warrior capable of keeping up with a vampire in speed with use of shadow step. So I learned how it is Silvia trained faster and learned better learned tricks to help her once before so she could get better. But then Dyna staged a large scale war upon us and we had no choice but to evacuate and sacrifice the float core to seal Dyna though a few members of Dyna was able to still come and go from it the ones lost to corruption could never leave without help from a non corrupt person summoning them to the world below.

Syna ended up breaking apart and plunging to the ground in the battle Silvia was mortally wounded and healing escape crystal she was placed in malfunctioned by the time it landed she was already dead. But someone stole her body. Some immortal mad scientist ended up with parts of her remains thousands of years later if he was not the one who stole her body from the pod to begin with. I hardened the day mother died.... and I obtained the ruby crystal on her death. Yesterday was supposed to be the day the evil princess posing as a roaming author or student drugged my father getting him under her control trying to make him kill me, which in turn mother protected me killing him. And because the cursed bond that drives a dragon to end their life was triggered mother fell off Syna 100 years before the great Dyna war and she looked into my eyes mouthing Sorry. And fell backwards not screaming I panicked going after trying to reach her to save her. But Khan caught me using his wing to break my fall unable to save mother too and he injured himself using his body to survive the impact into the ground he and I survived but mothers body got broken on the rocks of the grand turmoil mountains plateau base.

After that day I hardly laughed, trained extra hard so I was faster, stronger, and less hesitant so I would not lose anyone else if I could help it. But then I still lost Silvia. I turned rampant at her loss hearing the message she left telling me goodbye before dying. Because the pod I placed her into to heal her and keep her safe malfunctioned. The message made me so overcome with grief and pain I went wild for 1,000 years. It took facing down Kuri he confronted me seeing him with being under a spell of obsession to try distracting me in the war which attached to him that I was hit with snapped me out of my wild rampage.

I hid for 15,974 years just crying in mourning over Silvia's loss. But then when I made peace and found the will to go on I eventually found Silvia up and walking in a town renamed Sin. And I found mother who was more machine than Silvia in appearance where the mad scientist used technology to reanimate their bodies which father,

Victor appeared alive after being turned ash by mother where that day a drop or two of mothers blood landed on his ashes as she buried them which he regenerated like nothing happened. he had developed a machine that well fused the metal into flesh of Silvia and mother which let them regain control of themselves but both seemed like themselves but had large memory gaps. Which when I looked them over with learning of technology I noticed they had mock souls. A computer algorithm that took the flesh memories and simulated a soul and behavior system. It was well done and it fooled everyone.

But with Silvia I lost her a second time because a mirror beast took control over her and one of the children of mother nature as I found out later to stop her from being taken by the evil use temperature to freeze her metal which broke the mock soul system. They then tried repairing her and returning her soul to her returned to nature body. Which would have replaced all the metal parts with living flesh as if she never had metal implanted into her. But her soul moved on already.

I found her reincarnation but though having painful memory glitches as if her memory tried remember her previous life seeing as she was still in a reborn form of the shadow clan. Or with her powers of the shadow clan reborn with her soul. She had the skills when pressed to use them that Silvia had but could not freely access them. She was one of the ones to train in the time chamber, But even with recalling her powers memories of learning and using under pressure of fending for her life she had no memory of me. Though get her near the written language tablets of the shadow clan she went spastic and was able to read them as if knowing and the shadow clan had disbanded over 5,000 years before that. Put a shadow Kaguri fan i her hand which had a complex operation mechanism and she was able to use it like a master when it was her first time holding it.

She was confused how she knew how it worked never seeing it in her reborn life. But I dared not try forcing her to remember me, It pained me seeing her spitting image living again after losing her twice. But she was deeply infatuated with another who was protective of her, Put his life on the line as I will for Silvia. Specially since I can never truly die. But that is not why I did it, I did it so she would not have to suffer grief. And she was happy with that man so I dare not interfere out of greed though I promised I could train her to more freely access her powers if she wanted. But then the darkness that the gods sacrificed themselves to seal creating the forbidden zone revived and I could not keep that promise.

So I arranged for them to train in the time chamber and Zirconia sent me back here the way she did so I can master this new anti death shadow power which once the darkone revived he also had use of the deathshadow power still though not very strongly. Though I am tempted this time round to offer and if Silvia accepted would make her immortal so I don't lose her. As I prevented mother from losing father, preventing me from losing mother. Since I am still here and nothing is different it just means the changes so far I had made are not time altering.

Though likely by telling you all this I likely made a drastic change in the outcome of things in time. Probably breaking the laws of such time travel I feel like being a little selfish back here. Saving mom from dying dad from dying and if possible Silvia by turning her immortal. I was hoping not to cause a large conflict trying to play things to memory to keep from altering time too much. I probably risked doing that by telling you all this but I had no choice." Sodain said telling his story of how it was he changed seemingly over night.
