I was in my Dragon form, my Familiars and Saints around me, even Layla was quiet when Tarzor showed himself.
It was as if the entire Star System was falling apart, even the Sun and countless stars disappeared, we were in a space of complete darkness with only Tarzor in front of us.
A white Serpent with its eyes closed, its coiled size was like a large planet, its presence was greater than mine even though it was a God, I could also see more than in the past.
"(These scales...)" (me)
The scales on its body were not real scales, they were fragments that had been deformed to form scales, I could feel traces of Essence, Life, Death and Curse in these supposed scales.
I already had some life experience, I had seen many things and been to many places, I myself had a Dungeon and visited many types of Separate Spaces to be able to recognize one.
Each scale was a separate space, but it wasn’t normal, it was as if they were sealed and tied together, it must be this curse power keeping them all together, so the power of Life and Death that I’m feeling must be coming from within these Separate Spaces.
"Now can you see?" (Tarzor)
"Yes." (me)
"They’re trapped in you... or are they you?" (me)
"I am what you see, nothing more and nothing less, just a collection of pieces of what no longer exists, inheriting a desire to live while still immersed in death, an existence that carries the resentment of entire universes." (Tarzor)
"I understand, but do you know the consequences?" (me)
"Of being trapped in you!?" (Tarzor)
"Don’t fool yourself boy, chaos cannot be contained, your connections with those around you are not as you think." (Tarzor)
At first I didn’t understand, my Familiars were connected to me just like my Saints, I could feel how deep these connections were.
"They all have the power of Chaos in them, the connection with you exists because they want it to exist, but this connection is constantly changing like the veins of a body that are always pulsing and as such can be cut." (Tarzor)
"At least almost all of them..." (Tarzor)
He looks at Samara, her case is different, my connection with her is more of an eternal restriction that makes up her entire existence, her body doesn’t belong to her so to speak and her Soul is eternally enslaved.
"That’s why you want to continue, but why would I help you knowing that?" (me)
"Because I will continue by your side, not as a servant or slave, but as a companion." (Tarzor)
"More like a parasite, everything that makes it up after that will be supported by your existence, master." (Samara)
"As much as he wants to walk away, he can’t. It would be like ripping out all the organs, blood, and bones from a living body, then ordering the creature to live a normal life." (Samara)
"As funny as it is, it doesn’t work." (Samara)
"Is she right?" (me)
"Unfortunately, yes. I would get to that part later, but my words wouldn’t be as explicit." (Tarzor)
Tarzor’s desire is to become a Universe. He doesn’t want something big. He wants to unite his fragments into a single being. But I can feel, even from a distance, how different these fragments are. I can imagine that their Essences are incompatible and perhaps even incomplete.
He wants to use the Power of Chaos to merge the Essences of different universes and weld their fragments together. I see how it would be impossible without possessing the power of Chaos, but that would only be enough to do this part, there would still be more after that.
"I have no slaves or servants, other than Samara, but she is a special case." (me)
"Everyone here is my family and friends, I do not need you to obey me in the future, but I would like to have a stable and respectful cooperation as well as act together as I do with Okan." (me)
"That is acceptable, my servants are still with me, in fact I like your Dimensional Dragon, he has qualities that I have sought before." (Tarzor)
"Even if he is not a universe but some kind of Divine Realm, his similarity and naturalness of existence have my admiration." (Tarzor)
"I thank you for your praise on his behalf." (me)
"(I’m not in a hurry to do this myself, but stalling won’t get me anywhere...)" (me)
What I’m about to do isn’t easy, in fact I don’t even know how hard it’s going to be, I’m not creating a Divine Servant, Divine Beast, Familiar or anything like that, none of that should be possible to begin with since Tarzor isn’t exactly a living creature.
I’m trying to create a living Universe or dimension, so far the only comparisons I can make are Nix who had the Dungeon inside her before becoming a Divine Realm that now composes Okan’s body, he himself is another reference I thought of and Tarzor seems to think the same.
Apart from these two references, I can only think of one more that scares me a lot, Callidora.
Callidora is a living entity with her own life, she is also composed of fragments of other Universes, some of which she probably destroyed for fun.
At the time we were rebirthing Niryna, she took me to a place that contained her power. At the time, I wasn’t able to understand what that power was, but now I understand that a large part of it was Anomalous Power while the rest was possibly her own Infernal power.
In my previous life, I never thought of Hell as a living, thinking entity, but now I’m considering doing something similar with Tarzor, which scares me a little.
"(I don’t know much about Callidora, but Tarzor will be dependent on me, before it was just an assumption I thought about, but now I’m sure.)" (me)
"(After all, I can’t risk creating another Hell just to fulfill an agreement, I’m not so loyal to my words to an irrational point.)" (me)
I took everyone to a different place, Tarzor was no exception, what I was about to do goes far beyond transforming a living creature by changing its race, lineage or power, I wasn’t just performing an Awakening Ceremony or reborning someone either.
I wasn’t even sure what kind of power I would need, so I went to the place where my power was almost unlimited. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
"Nix, take us inside." (me)
"Alright." (Nix)
"< Opening of the Stellar Path >" (Nix)
Nix returns to her Dragon form. If before she looked like a cutout of the night sky, now she looks like a cutout of the Universe itself. Her body seems to be formed from entire galaxies. Her Scales are no longer made of crystal, they look ethereal, as if she were a living incarnation of the universe.
Her eyes became a Purple Sun and a Silver Moon covered in cracks as if it were broken. A third eye opened on her chest and was the size of her head. These eyes looked like a portal to another universe, and in the middle a large Eclipse whose ring of light around it seemed to burn.
Nix’s Dragon form changed, being much more similar to mine. The upper part of her body was half-Humanoid, she had two arms, while the lower part of her body was a tail that seemed to disappear the closer it got to the tip.
Her figure was different from mine, which was imposing and powerful with large muscles. Nix’s appearance was more delicate and beautiful. Her arms were thin, her curvy silhouette, her Dragon head was half humanized. She seemed so beautiful and graceful that no painting could match her real appearance.
She spread her 7 pairs of wings while the eyes on her head closed. The large eye on her chest opened while the ring of Eclipse flames came out of that eye, expanding until it contained all of us, including Tarzor.
The large ring of Starfire spun around us quickly before also spinning in its own orbit in a movement that seemed slow. With its movement, the space outside the ring seemed to change. The darkness of Tarzor disappeared, revealing stars that were not in the positions they should have been and with very different colors, as well as something that had not existed until then, an incredible number of lines that spread between the stars. These lines were actually paths made of crystal that, seen from afar, seemed to be just lines.
As the entire space changed, the ring of flames returned to Nix before the eye on her chest closed and she opened her eyes in her head once more, the tiredness easily seen on her face, after all, the area she had to bring was so large that it could fit Tarzor, whose size is comparable to that of entire planets.
This was the Stellar Path, if Okan has a Divine Realm composed of a Separate Space that was once the Dungeon, the Stellar Path is a real ethereal Divine Realm composed purely of my Divinity.
The Dungeon is usually part of Nix’s body, I didn’t realize how strange it was for the remains of the Dungeon to be part of Okan since I woke up as a God, I had so many things on my mind and so many things to do, so I let something so simple pass.
But if the Dungeon transformed into that state and became part of Okan, what had happened to Nix?
This was something that even when I first visited the Star Path, I didn’t realize, only after that last sleep where I calmly reflected on the Star Path was when I understood many things.
The Star Path pushed the remains of the Dungeon out of Nix replacing its place, this was because Nix was my Familiar, as the Dungeon at that time had its gate open on the back of Okan who was created by me, it transformed into what it is today while Nix became even bigger.
"Thank you Nix." (me)
"Now we can begin." (me)
