[b]Yes, you would be. The breath of Suggarr, they are, so that's what they do.
I'm surprised that you know of this. I thought this lore extinct with my people.
But yes, this is a foolish endeavor. The more you change, the less human you become. You may think that's what you want, but we learned that cost a long time ago.[/b]
The light dim from his eyes, and he bows, suddenly looking very tired. When he raises his head again, you see an old man, who has forgotten more wisdom than many have know.
Hello, young one.
I am Adulruna, but you know that already.
I see you are on your third step? That's great. This will be different from last time, but don't worry, you have nothing to fear.
What you feel is just Suggarr's power suffusing you. It will change you, bring you closer to its power, but it will not be enough: you will need to unlock the change. Do you know the path?
Again, strength and energy come to his face, mingled with anger.
[b]Of course she doesn't! Does she looks like she knows what she's doing?
So, Vibria, that's it? I will tell you a little secret.
Things and beings have 2 natures. They can be of this world, or off this world.
Being from this world have one nature, human or beast. Beings from the otherworld have one nature also, and that is magic, although they may seem so have more.
But some cross the lines. Sorcerers are human and magic. Dragons are beasts and magic.
You... The mists made you human, beast and magic, but the beast is dormant, crushed under your humanity. That's why you can't become what you want, despite their poison. And it's a good thing, trust me.
Go away now. I am tired of you.[/b]
He closes his eyes, ignoring you. And maybe he's gratting on your nerves, but it's feeling really warm in there.
[b]Were was I? The mists... they're the breath of Suggarr, you know that? The great dragon. He gives us power, we give us ourselves. A fair trade, that is. The breath of sugar. It's everywhere, but mostly here, you know? It has helped us. Grow strong, things like that. Defy both time and enemies.
But, well, that's for later.
Now, you know how we can be of 3 kind? There is the human, the beast, and the other kind. The first one, I mean.
Well, this is difficult, so one side is usually dormant, sometimes even two. So some people are mostly humans and beasts, and can change from one to another. Some people are beast and beast, and they are great beasts indeed, like the bear, more if great beasts of magic. Others are mostly something and magic, and... I was telling something? Power. They have power. The beasts. But you can have more power. If humans can change into beast, or beasts work magic, one can be a beast and a human and a magic. Or a magic magic. Or a magic beast, like a dragon.
You've basked into the mists, have you? Of course you have, silly me. So, yes, I see, you've brought the beast to the surface. It is shiny, isn't it? Yes. The beast.
But the thing is, the mists, they are just a breath, a tiny bit of primal power, they aren't enough to awaken it. You will never become a dragon.
But there's a trick to play to the beast.
A trick. A trick. Ah, yes, you want the trick? Yes, that is, it's simple. If you forego your other natures, you can bring the beast to the surface, force it to awaken. It's quite simple, actually. The trick. You must forego all magic, all sense of self, everything that isn't animal. Go in the wild, follow the dragon's path without the trappings of civilization or magic. That's it.
Oh, yes, I forgot. DO not do this! I mean, do this, but not for long. But enough. I can't remember, but I think... Yes. 4 moons. If you survive until 4 moons are gone, you should be human, beast and magic. I think.

Does he slips into sleep?
Who are you? How did you find this place? why are you here?
(Sorry, time flew without me noticing)
