35 A Dream of The Future

Aboard the refitted space ship Lillie and Rose begin their test on Dashnell's unhealed wound, setting his body atop the hovering medical bed they lift his arm up holding it in place in the air with a faint blue glowing circular arm band. On the monitors within the room they try to identify the aura still left inside his wound, after a few hours they notice a spike in his readings. "He seems to be having a really intense dream should we force him awake?" Lillie ask Rose who is looking at Dashnell's face watching his expressions of pain, anger, and hate.

"No I don't know what dream he is having but we will keep working on his arm we already helped his body deal with the aura of Destruction Teressa talked about, once if fully absorbs the rest within his arm he will heal on his own and wake up."

.....

Within Dashnell's Dream World.

A Impossibly Massive Towering Circle Gate floats high in space surrounded by a stretch of nothingness, below it is the one armed Dashnell the size of a speck compared to the Sealed Gate before him. As he just stares hatefully at the Gate which is a pitch black circle of death from his earliest memories. He knows that locked inside that Gate is the Strongest God of Creation who lost her mind to madness long ago when mortals had yet to come into existence, the many endless Realms filled with Gods of Creation, Destruction and the long lost Gods of Balance. During that never ending war the Guardian Dashnell, as a small child watched as his kind fought againsteach other for dominance.

This war never saw an end as the Gods would die only to revive a billion years later. Each being true Gods born from absorbing massive amounts of energy throughout existence for a unfathomably long time before they developed a consciousness.

Dashnell also went through this and as his personality was shaping the war was already going on around him. Inside his own world the various personalities extinguished each other until he Dashnell emerged. These eradicated personalities are the Guardians who were born from Dashnell when he died Sealing the Gate, this is the reason they posses unique abilities as they were once apart of the True God Dashnell.

The only ones who knew this truth being Elder Ibrahim, Elder Crest, Elder Ashley and Elder Dez. After they stabilized the Guardians within the Teress Realm they knew it would be a matter of time before Dashnell was reborn, so why not have him truly become part of their new Guardian Race. With this they manipulated the story about their origins, as it is true that the were once a collection of energy. This energy being solely Dashnell's while they were cast aside having lingering abilities of his, after Dashnell died sealing the Gate they his offspring born from his left over energy moved his entire being into the Realm of Teress quickly seizing control over the Immortal and Mortal Races that called Teress home. As they had to ensure nothing disturbed his rebirth these four elders placed Dashnell's essence in the center of the Teress realm, but before his physical body was formed they sealed his consciousness inside the womb of the young girl Lanora who Dez took as a wife.

.....

Within the empty world Dashnell stares at the Gate listening to the constant wails from the created monstrosities beating at the Sealed Gate trying to get out. Like a fresh memory in his mind he replays the moment she lost her mind and started to created these mindless enraged creatures from the deepest parts of her mind, in the end she succeeded in stopping the endless fighting as everyone had to join together against those abominations. It was this very war that gave birth to the many races that now fill the countless Realms, just as it ended so did the True Gods being the absolute rulers of existence end. While the few who survived in similar ways to himself all find themselves waiting for the Seal to be broken.

....

Boom Boom BOOM.... Crack!

Jumping to the ready Dashnell Summons a white tip golden spear from his chest while fully unfurling his coiled tail, as a massive pair a jet black wings shoot out from his back. cracks spreading out from the ground as he puts his full force in his legs ready to launch himself at the monsters who will pour out the Gate, within the vast space Dashnell holds nothing back. One spear in his right hand a double sided spear in his left. As a bizarre long hand reaches out from the Crack he sends himself forward bringing the terrain with him, in his charge he begins lifting his left hand to strike he then finally realizes this world for what it is, yet this does not stop him from his action or stopping it.

.....

Back on the Ship Rose and Lillie still a bit concerned about Dashnell's increasing abnormal readings are now ready to attempt waking him from his sleep, Rose then readies a vile of light blue liquid. Moving to inject the liquid into Dashnell his sudden movement in sitting up causes her to drop it, before it hits the floor Dashnell catches the vile with his still regrowing left hand. Dashnell lets his legs hang from the table looking at the shocked face of Rose. "There are better ways to wake me up Rose, and with two of you being here we could have had a great time at waking up!" Says Dashnell with both his eyes a bright vast silver sky.

"Master your arm what happened why did it suddenly recover? Looking at the dark skinned arm without a scratch on it puzzles both girls. "A sudden memory sparked a change in me I regained a bit of my lost powers is all, should be fun when the next one of these challengers show up. Seems I also broke those chains restricting me from using the power of the 'Title' as well as regaining these eyes of mine, so many pleasant surprises I must thank Gold for this." Dashnell said flexing his left hand.

"Master while you were sleep a lot has happened Lady Valara started the war against Thagia earlier than planned, merged with a powerful elemental flame then she deactivated the Artifact. Even with all these going on I ask for you to lay back down for a few more test, if it helps we are currently above the battlefield. We are here under Lady Tia's order assisting the injured troops teleporting them back to camp, saving their lives then sending them back into the 'grinder' her words!" Rose who said all of this as she forcibly moves Dashnell with the help of Lillie back onto the Bed.

.....

Down Below.

Anna and Three Suns finally meeting up quickly bring an end to the remaining forces of the second three hundred thousand army split up by Valara, leaving alive those who dropped their weapons lessening the deaths slightly. The once six hundred thousand strong army only left with two hundred injured soldiers mostly youths, Three Suns got them to surrender rather than throw their lives away making Elder Lloyd extremely grateful. On the small battlefield are two massive balls of flames slowly roasting a single man alive reducing him to ash, no one besides Valara able to tell how they manage to do it so slowly while keeping him alive to feel these torturous hell flames.

Feeling Dashnell close by Valara leaves the two girls to their business, heading up into the sky to search for his location.

"Get out here Dashnell! Don't make me light up the sky looking for you." Valara shouts out loud in the sky crowded by her lightning clouds. As her communication bracelet lights up furiously she pauses before answering it. "Why are you calling me Lillie? Did something else go wrong?" She asked not sure why Lillie called her right in this moment. "Don't light up the sky we are in the ship with him we just finished a check up, although we are not finished completely we will send him out to you Lady Valara just give us a moment to.. um we will send him out soon!" Lillie said in a panic rushing her words out and quickly getting dressed to follow Dashnell out to meet Valara.

.....

After waiting for ten minutes Valara sees the twins have finished their work on Edmond and are now meeting up with Elder Lloyd, Tree Suns and Anna. Then the clouds start to part, before an invisible door opens walking out of the Door is Dashnell, Lillie and Rose. Both females with flush red faces still trying to tidy up their appearance in front of Valara's glaring purple green eyes, as the lightning in the air around her begins striking all around her merging into her then shooting out of her thicker than before.

"You were having fun while I was searching for you Dashnell, did I not warn you about hiding things from us!" Valara said, purple flames making her appear as the God of Raging Thunder.

"Calm down Val there are things I can not tell you until you are stronger, besides I hid nothing the fight between me an Gold Luster would have killed Tia it would have even killed you and Samara. I would never allow you to die in a battle I survived. If you wish to know all my secrets then become a God only then will you be able to get past the barrier inside my mind Valara, it's not that I hid it from you it's that you are not yet ready... not yet strong enough to carry this weight." Dashnell said as he made his way in front of Valara looking into her purple green eyes with his silver eyes.

"Good I have already let Samara know about your condition, we planned a meeting to discuss what route to take after removing King Edmond from Thagia. Now you can join in and enlighten us on the seals in your mind and the ways to break them!" Said Valara before returning to the battlefield below.
