Thousand Empress Palace
Deep underground resting inside a 'lake' the size of the entire Dragon Empire Continent is a Colossal looking Serpent, on its body is pitch black scales that shine dark green to the surrounding area.
Laying under the water massive slits on its back show its retracted wings numbering in the millions, the massive dragon head of the serpent filled with just as many eyes. In the front of this massive creature sitting at a table is Elder Ibrahim drinking tea, with two of its red eyes open looking at the old man in front of it. A 'smile' could be seen on the face of this massive monstrosity and the terrifying rows of teeth and massive fangs, Ibrahim does not seem to mind these things and just leisurely chats with the beast.
”How long have you been awoke 'Ibrahim'!? Watching over me like I am a child keeping things hidden from me.” I said looking at Ibrahim.
”Don't be mad at this old man your memories and powers are linked so you don't cause another mess, this was done by Lilly that little angel is always watching over you even though she has to watch over two realities.” He said pretending to be wronged.
We talk about Lilly being the one who placed these restrictions on my power, she has grown more powerful while I remained a mess. Thinking this a heavy suppression comes into being as Lilly emerges from the Void, floating in the air she glides over entering the water and hugging my face.
Looking on Ibrahim almost wanted to laugh as he watched the young lady surrounded by a blinding light hug scales larger than her entire body. As my massive red eye looks up at her the entire place is bathed in its red glow, rising out of the lake my body coils around until my human form takes shape once again. Lilly still hugging me is now being carried in my arms, with her face resting in my chest looking down at her, green and red merg once more within my eyes.
”Why have you picked this time to show yourself to me, what is different this time?” I said looking at her with a serious face. She lifts her small hands around my face before her ethereal voice echos out around the entire underground area. ”I have fixed you! This time your mind will not cause you to collapse, there will be no more rampages also while it's true I have become stronger you are still my 'Guardian'.” She said wearing a bright smile.
From the way she spoke it seems she won't let me go or replace me, as for fixing me I have failed to see how fixed I am after the recent rampage. Knowing my thoughts she giggles before appearing at the table with Ibrahim.
”Tell me Dashnell did your rampage cause a mess or did you simply break and destroy the things that surrounded you? I would say this is better and more manageable than what you would do before, with this in mind you are also slowly dealing with those many memories while not closing off your emotions right?”
Thinking of things like that I guess she is right in saying she fixed me, I just don't like the way she said it. She appears before me again with a face full of tears as she felt wronged by my thoughts just now, as we converse in with our minds Ibrahim holds his hand up trying to block the light at the same time as trying to see her true form. From what he can see she is a young girl no older than 16-18 other than that her silver eyes are the only feature he can make out due to the blinding light.
Staring at him I share my sight with him, allowing him to see the short haired girl with silver eyes.

In a small courtyard filled with all female servants devoid of any and all males in the entire area sits Crest surrounded by every one of my wives.
”We have all come to talk to you about Dashnell Lady Crest. No Verena! This is what we have all agreed on that you should not be called Crest any longer.” Said Samara as the other were to afraid to talk about this even after agreeing on it and being here.
”Do I not have a say in the name I choose to go by?” She replied. ”Yes you do It's Just... We know that Dashnell wishes to call you Verena and we know you want that as well!” Said the timid Teressa. Looking at the girls before her Crest drops her head down as she is filled with complex emotion, she then looks up at the group with red teary eyes.
