Solaria sighed looking curious not to Chaos. "That place is really far with alot of vicious gangs, thieves and murderers I wonder why he went near it to begin with, the hiding place I put him was Dagoth's silver tower." She rubbed her chin a little. "Oh well the important thing is he is home and safe now."

Sodain settled down and fell asleep. Wolgar nodded taking it then asked. "I can bring you a sleeping cot, pillow and blanket, unless you toss and turn a lot then I'll just bring you a pillow and blanket as well. If you strain yourself by staying up too long your berrier can shatter." Wolgar said softly not wanting her to push herself.

"Alright you just relax and I will bring it to you." Wolgar said going out back to the closet placing the half full glass of blood on the table. Pulling out a cot, pillow and blanket he headed back to the ruby crystal. Going inside he set the cot up in a nice place and helped her settle in even tucking her in if she wanted. "Sleep good your training resumes in the morning." He said then would leave closing the opening of his green crystal doorway as the ruby formed back but reacted like nothing disturbed it.

Returning to the table Wolgar sat down. "Seems she still has not learned to disconnect from the crystal barrier after she makes it. And so it tires her out easy. But all in all your daughter took weeks to learn everything that took Sodain close to a million years to learn. The crystals were picky with him though wasn't the ruby crystals made by your grandfather in the time of the dragon and phoenix war?" Wolgar asked Gale.

Solaria laughed. "Your mother lives still so she trumps any claim I might have to try to rule in her absence until the election on a blood royal was finished to see which blood relative got to rule. So I am not really classified as a ruler. The town of sin yes I ruled, but controlled by humans to rule how they wanted me to. And if I tried being my kind yet just self instead of obeying the programming I got shocked or well what was left as living organic tissue was shocked." She said.

Sodain fidgeted in his sleep a little but it wasn't anything to cause worry due to it being much like a dog twitching in its sleep. But in Sodain's dream he dreamt of an odd tower. and people roaming it wearing robes and carrying staffs and wands that differed in types and styles. Wondering around a man older then the other people in robes but still looked pretty young placed a hand on his should. "It's alright Chaos they are just going to their homes for seasonal vacation. So it will just be the two of us here." The man said.

Sodin looked to him oddly. Wondering who he was and why he referred to him with the word chaos as if it was a name. But without moving his lips he heard himself talking back to the older man. "So does that mean I can let loose and be my real self father?" The voice from Sodain said without him saying it and wondered why he didn't recognize his own voice.

And just as he was about to actually say something the old man smiled. "Yes my son. You can be your real self just be sure not to go out of the tower as your real self. There are some humans who would try to catch you and cut you up locking you in your real form to harvest parts of your body as they believe there are special properties to certain parts." Sodain just watched listening as he without moving his lips again a answer occurred "Yay! Thank you father. I promise I won't let anyone see my real form unless you say they can be trusted." Then Sodain felt himself changing into a dragon and couldn't control his body. So just figured he was watching someone else's memories which confirmed it once he passed by a mirror.

Sodain was normally a humanoid type dragon with brown scales with turquoise scales as like a tribal tattoo like the stripes on a tiger. But this reflection showed a black beast like form dragon with crimson for the underbelly and light purple markings similar to Sodain's turquoise markings. Which with this proved it wasn't him in the dream which never had he dreamt such dreams.

Sodain looked to Itari now watching it as if it was a movie. "I kinda figured he was seeing his human face before he turned to his dragon form. I also kinda figured from the marking that are the same rune like designs that I do, Yet they are not exactly the same as mine but close enough to show who's sibling he was, it is a genetic abnormality in most dragons, specially those born to a large clutch.

But I am unclear why I am seeing his life in my dreams. And if I am seeing his life in my dreams is the same thing happening to him?" Sodain said but watched and then he froze when a certain man appeared as Chaos came back to the tower to find it dark when he knew there should be people awake and lights on.

Carefully moving closer he smelled the heavy scent of blood covering his nose as his eyes flashed red backing up a shadow moved as a certain man stepped out looking happy in an insane way. Carrying a severed head in his hand by its hair the head was of the man Chaos called father and Sodain not seeing that part though just grew really tense in the dream as well as out of it.

Sodain's eyes narrowed and little flames flicked in and out of existence over his body as he was so overcome with rage. Sodain started growling lowly in his sleep. As little multi colored flames flicked in and out upon him as well. Giving off a strange scent almost like a freshly blown out candle but it was still mixed with a strange scent almost sweet like Fire berries. Which happened to be the favorite fruit of choice by phoenix's.

It was a sign more of his phoenix side was struggling to surge forth from his body. Sodain trembled gritting his teeth in the dream watching that man laugh. "Why is HE here. Wasn't defiling my mother, By disturbing her peaceful eternal sleep enough for him?" Sodain said a look in his eyes have dark red swirling with black but of pure fire as if his eyes turned into pure flames.

Chaos groaned in his sleep mumbling "N..no brother.... don't do it..." he said softly but Solaria heard it and looked to Kuri curiously.

Wolgar shivered looking over towards the crystals. "Ugh what the hell is that stench!" He said sniffing around a little trying to figure out where this smell was coming from not sure if Gale smelt it as well, Wolgar never having smelt fire berries before could not place it.

Solaria shook her head. "I am not sure. It could be but how would he know if something was going on with Sodain since they have not met." She said about to ask Chaos something when he spoke again.

"Don't let the fire out. restrain the bird of destruction and resurrection brother." He said groaning starting to sweat the way he described it was as if he described a phoenix.

Sodain fell to his knees holding himself "I'm losing control Itari I can't restrain him much longer. Warp me away and out of Chaostrin's mind before HE explodes out of me." Sodain said unable to focus to do it himself. "Send me there!" He said looking to the war torn town with the split black tower from Chaos's mind.

Sodain winced outside the memory view shown to him in Sodain's dream looking like his skin was starting to crack as black flames seeped through the crack like lines with a feeling of intense hate and evil just the tiniest black flame being released it was power like the great black phoenix who started the dragon phoenix war in the first place. It gave off the same feeling as if that phoenix had hidden itself until now. Though it was only Sodain still but it spoke volumes who must have been the phoenix parent of Vincent.

Wolgar pressed on his crystals. "Kuri come quick Sodain is losing control of his phoenix power and its the dark power of the death phoenix, Blacker than the blackest heart filled to the brim with nothing but hate and evil intent. The black queen's power still lives. I can tell Itari's near his limits trying to calm him but it's not enough." Wolgar said using his com crystal to contact Kuri instantly.

Solaria gasped hearing what Wolgar said. "If it's the same power then Sodain..." She teared up and in panic. "We need to get him far away from here. Though the dragons have accepted a tolerance of Sodain being of phoenix mix if they realize his phoenix power is the black flame!" She said freezing as tears flowed down her face fearing of losing either of her son's.

Solaria waited till Kuri was gone and focused herself keeping watch as she held out her hands as a thick blue crystal formed from the floor like walls which then also lined the floors and touching the ceiling it coated that too making a box like barrier that absorbed all force of an impact no matter how strong or forceful it was it rippled almost like water if it was touched by anyone but harder then the hardest dragon bone plating or scales. She brushed Chaos's hair from his face using a cool damp cloth to cool his head and soak up the sweat.

"There now no one can hurt you Chaos. I can feel that though your of the same phoenix blood that Sodain is that yours is calmer and more peaceful." She said softly hearing the door to the room she looked sharply a stern and aggressive look to her face incase a fight was going to break out from any of the dragons who turned their backs on her, Killed all but two eggs, and banished her from the rest of her family not even allowing her to visit them.

Solaria's eyes relaxed though stayed alert seeing it was Silvia entering. "Is everything alright Silvia?" She asked watching her wondering why Silvia made noise entering when normally she was as silent as the shadows entering the room. Which got a start or two from Solaria herself more then a few times. Though Solaria knew Silvia got a sense of pleasure knowing she still had her skills perfectly deadly and seen Silvia smirk every time she startled Solaria.

Chaos slept calmly and peacefully now. Sodain on the other hand had that black flame still trying as if fighting what Itari and Kuri was doing to try sealing it. Wolgar even appeared near them and worked to try helping. Though the dark power felt to be less hateful and evil was still trying to get out. Sodain winced crying softly. "I'm sorry." he said passing out falling face first in the grass out cold.

Which made it seem the black flames grew stronger against the struggle the three did to reseal it. Wolgar sighed. "I am surprised he didn't pass out the first 2 minutes of this power trying to get out. If he can keep this calmed in him and suppressed as he has since his birth. I would really hate to be on the receiving end of his attack, if his dragon power is this much stronger then the black flame." Wolgar said shivering as he tried using his crystals to pull the cracked skin areas back closed but when he started it was like the black flames focused more intently where he was mending the cracks.

Solira just stepped through the blue crystal wall and looked Mira over and sighted. "This is bad. She mixed her blood with the crystals and she is still linked. What strain that pendant she made that I seen Kuri take with them she is feeling. And the crystals mixed into her blood if she isn't blocked from her creations the crystals in her blood will consume her turning her into living crystal she will move still sure.

But she will be pure crystal... I seen it once when I was a child. The person overseeing the woman who was becoming living crystal was cured back then because it was caught early enough." Solaria said and looked round this medical like lab room of Kuri's and seen a medical table moving to it she cleared it off and put a warm blanket on it. "Lay Mira here." Solaria said making blue crystal cover the windows and darken blocking out the flashes and sound of the thunderstorm.

"There Silvia is that better?" Solaria asked smiling softly. "I will look at you after I look after Mira as she is in more danger then you seem right now." Solaria then formed a rippling ball of blue crystal but this was different it was as if it was pure liquid. "I can't sugar coat this but it has to be done Gale if you want Mira to be fine. You need to hold her down while I use this to help her." Solira said waiting for Gale to place Mira on the table and hold her down.

Blue liquid tendrils morphed out her back around the table taking a perfect clone form of Solaria to help hold her down.

Sodain just lay there looking dead as the struggle went on a black flame shot out of him hitting the ruby pendant shattering it as a soft voice echoed around them on the wind, it sounded like a raspy woman's voice as if an old woman spoke. "Begone and away from him. Your not strong enough to seal it again." the whispering voice said then there was a distant bell like sound which rang out around them. And soon in the distance a dark robed figure seeming hunched over with a staff of crystal bells that rang with vibration and no solid contact with anything to make them ring.

"Begone foolish vampire!" the old woman said suddenly appearing from behind Kuri as she touched him and a flash of light golden in color sparked off from the touch warping Kuri away from Sodain and placed a hand upon Sodain as the black flames froze in movement. "Leave us all thee of you it will soon become dangerous here. Let the professionals deal with this while you deal with what's happening with the young lady who used the red crystals." The old woman said as the black flames slowly moved a little wrapping or trying to wrap around the old womans arm as if her presence alone soothed the black flames like a cat rubbing up against its human family member.

Solaria looked to Silvia. "Yes could you retrieve the crisis 12, 34, and 67 kits please?" Solaria said remembering what she seen the doctor that saved that other woman did and said. Whispering the liquid blue crystal glowed softly in her hand and placing it to Mira's chest used her other hand almost on her back portion of her side and pushed the liquid into and through her body which would hurt strongly.

As she did this she pulled her empty hand away and the liquid crystal flowed out her side having small specks and slivers of ruby crystals contained in it then she dropped them out while holding the same liquid crystal she did this process over and over until there was hardly any crystals coming out while waiting for the requested kits keeping a good portion of the crystals pulled from her blood close.

The old woman sighed "I will reseal it but there is a special way it must be done. And yes this person, this individual will return to you. But I can not fully guarantee if he will be the same as you remember him, because for those like him he may be altered through the process. Where if he was balanced between his male and female mindsets. One may be stronger." She said watching them the black flames started to rise up and she spoke oddly in a screechy tone just a single word it seemed and the flames froze as if paralyzed.

"Now go I work alone for a reason, the first time I did something like this my sisters helped and they where consumed by the black flames. Now go before I start unless you want the same thing to happen this time." She said stroking Sodain's face that seemed to just stare off between living and dead. And just before they would gather to group warp the old woman said.

"And Tell Solaria her child is in good hands. and to adjust 17 degrees to the positive for a ice cold climate about the red crystals." She said and as they got ready to go she got ready to start as rainbow wings of feathers trimmed in black flames flapped out behind her as the robe went blowing in the wind showing what resembled a young woman from the back but the face was old and wrinkled as she started chanting a ring of white flames surrounded her and Sodain as the black flames rose out of his body just at the moment of them warping out a devious smirk on the old woman's lips.
