Elion lies unconscious on the scorched ground, his longsword a few paces away. Nearby, Dragon’s corpse cools beneath the rain, its dark scales losing their last warmth.
Luminous currents rise from the dead dragon in slow spirals. They gather around Elion, lift his drained body several feet into the air, and leave the corpse utterly still.
Lydia
Saadia, do not touch him. I do not know what that power is doing.
The currents enter through Elion’s chest and veins, drawn toward the draconic blood awakening within him. Nothing restores Dragon; only its remaining mana passes onward.
Saadia
It is not healing him. His aura is changing, Lydia. The dragon recognized something in him, and now that recognition is becoming part of him.
A faint gold radiance threads through Elion’s dark aura. The air carries a pressure like a distant growl, while pale sparks circle his unconscious hands and fading breath.
Saadia
Elion, if you can hear me, wake before the last current settles. Tell us what you feel.

“As im floating, im slowly waking up. I look around and i see that im floating and see that there's a golden energy entering my body, i can feel it. even though it is only a little, probably by 0.2% to 0.5%, i feel stronger. My bones seems to have gained about 0.2% of density. i seem stronger also, quicker, everything in me feels better. I absorbed its essence, granting me an enhanced body it seems... I float back down and i look at Saadia. Tears in her eyes, she hugs me tight. Lydia looks at me, smiling but tit only last a split second. Lydia points out that my eyes are glowing. As soon as she mentions it, they stopped she says. Im confused but i'ill search on this matter later. I hug back Saadia and i tell her that im sorry for making her worry. Elion, Saadia and Lydia walk back towards Lioran who made a circle of healing to heal those in the circle even though the healing is rather weak since its cast on multiple individuals, he uses that time to also cure wounds with his equipement”
SUCCESS (Mediocre Health, rolled +3)
Elion’s eyes open within the golden currents. He feels them enter his chest and veins, leaving his body subtly stronger, quicker, and denser before the last strands fade.
The currents release him. Elion descends gently through the rain and settles onto the scorched ground, then turns toward Saadia and Lydia with clear awareness.
Tears shine in Saadia’s eyes as she reaches him and hugs him tightly. Lydia smiles for a fleeting instant before pointing toward Elion’s face.
Lydia
Your eyes were glowing. They stopped as soon as I mentioned it.
Confusion passes across Elion’s face, but the strange change offers no immediate answer. He embraces Saadia in return, holding her until her trembling begins to ease.
Elion Draemnor
I’m sorry for making you worry, Saadia.
Together, Elion, Saadia, and Lydia walk back toward Lioran. He maintains a broad healing circle for the injured survivors, its gentle magic weakened by reaching many at once, while his supplies attend to individual wounds.
