00:01battlefield in ruins the ground trembles lava cracks open after the war i was the one who
00:07kept the frost wing alive the frost wing shifts into a man and the first thing he did was choose
00:12her seraphina in his arms they kiss seraphina ss.my jr the ground splits lava surges she
00:21smiled at me thank you senior for raising him for me he turns back into a beast lifting her
00:27onto his back he didn't even look at me he lowers his head lifts the heroine in his jaws and
00:33somehow
00:34i thought he'd save me he lets go i falls into lava 10 years just to raise someone else's mate
00:40eyes snap open no bright hall crowd murmuring banners sigils the binding royal this place
00:48the gray marsh binding right my name is rowan ashford top of my class the headmaster's ward
00:54the academy's brightest prodigy the frost wing was the center of the hall perched on a golden stand
00:59his blue green feathers glinting like ice the bird's cold eyes passed over me as if i were nothing
01:04then seraphina stepped forward in her arms lay a half-dead black sea serpent tears trembled on her
01:10lashes and the frost wing lowered his head to her just like that i became the villain professor
01:15hargrove frowned seraphina your arcane vessel is too weak you can't handle a creature like that
01:21rowan i was was never trying to compete with you i just
01:25then i'll take this one since the frost wing likes her so much she can have him
01:29has rowan lost her mind i ignored them in my last life
01:36i ignored them in my last life i gave that bird everything in the end he made me die so
01:42this time
01:42seraphina he's all yours good luck raising that greedy beast professor hargrove couldn't talk me
01:48out of it but he looked sick to his stomach handing a legendary pureblood frost wing to a rookie transfer
01:54student with zero foundation it was a criminal waste of potential but the frost wing acted like he was
01:59corrupt clinging to seraphina as if he couldn't live without her afraid to hurt the bird the professor
02:04sighed and activated the right a soul bond is a leash once the contract is sealed the familiar is
02:10bound to the caster's will if it ever dares to harm its owner the magical backlash is lethal the ritual
02:16array flared to life rooms pulsing with raw power the sudden surge of magic terrified the sea serpent
02:22with its last bit of strength it quilled tightly around my wrist desperate as if afraid i'd change my
02:28mind and throw it back into the trash in the opposite circle seraphina basked in her moment of triumph
02:33she looked at me and smirked you and that snake really are a perfect match rowan i didn't even have
02:40to
02:40open my mouth my classmates did it for me what's your tongue boss if rowan hadn't handed him to you
02:46on a
02:47silver platter you wouldn't even be allowed to touch a frost wings feather if i were you i'd be kneeling
02:53in gratitude seeing seraphina get picked on the frost wing grew frantic trying to shield her but
02:59he failed there was a problem after a bond a familiar shares its master's mana and seraphina
03:05she's a total amateur what magic could she possibly give him get used to it buddy life with a weak
03:12binder is a long slow crawl i looked down at the little serpent on my wrist finally sure that i
03:17wouldn't abandon it it went limp and passed out in peace back at my house i started studying my new
03:25familiar he was tiny by the looks of it he had just reached maturity but he wasn't like any sea
03:31serpent
03:31i'd ever seen his tail was flat with a sleek fin more like a fish most likely he's a hybrid
03:37part sea
03:38serpent part siren my yard had a natural magic spring the second i put him in the little guy came
03:44back to
03:44life splashing around and greedily absorbing the mana from the water you've got some nerve aren't you
03:50worried i'll poison you just to trade up for something better he froze staring at me with his
03:55tiny bead-like eyes then he spat water right in my face i gave his head a playful flick fine
04:03just focus
04:04on healing i raised a frost wing one little snake won't be a problem the next morning i opened my
04:12eyes
04:13and immediately froze a man was in my bed sun-kissed skin dark lashes fluttering like butterfly wings
04:19i shrank into the corner who are you this is gray moth academy don't even think about trying anything
04:26he sat up lazily
04:34the sea serpent
04:37rude i have a name it's ness
04:42apparently he'd been on the run from something trouble and somehow he ran straight into my uncle
04:46percy you know percy the man has a gift for picking up treasures off the street broken clocks
04:51first ring apparently dying snakes included nix had disguised himself as one half bad barely breathing
04:57just to get help and percy he brought him home like he just hit the jackpot
05:01the problem is nix isn't just anything he can already manifest which means his power is off the
05:08charts and if he's this strong then whatever's planting him yeah monsters
05:15great just great tell me something your enemies aren't going to track you here right nix stepped
05:22closer his golden eyes locked onto mine pinning me against the wall like i had nowhere else to go
05:26he smiled we're bound now a contract excuse me you're the owner and i'm your guardian he leaned in
05:35voice lowering so master you better start training try not to hold me back
05:45nix actually had some tricks up his sleeve my magical essence was water-based which perfectly
05:50complements his nature he taught me an ancient spell weaving from the sea clans to draw magic
05:55directly from the water the results were incredible even the headmaster noticed my rapid progress
06:00my new daily routine was simple i'd soak in the magic spring to train while nix watched over me
06:06from the branches of the cherry tree under the sunlight his bronze skin gleamed his collar hanging
06:11open to reveal sharp collarbones with his eyes narrowed in a lazy nap he looked dangerously beautiful
06:17the man was a total heartbreaker but before i could enjoy the view someone had to ruin the mood
06:23seraphina poked her head through the gate rowan i rose from the spring nix flipped down from the tree in
06:29one smooth motion casually draping my cloak over my shoulders the moment seraphina saw him she froze
06:36what are you doing here she didn't answer she was too busy staring at nix who who is he i
06:43took nix's
06:44hand and gave her a thin smile you remember him the pathetic little black serpent from the right
06:51didn't you say he and i were a perfect match annoyance flashed in her eyes out with it what do
06:57you want
06:58she hemmed and hawed i want you to help me raise the frost wing i felt nix's grip on my
07:04hand tighten
07:05i looked back met his displeased gaze and gave him a reassuring smile before turning back to her
07:11if you can't afford him figure it out yourself i don't owe you a thing what do you mean you
07:15don't
07:15owe me seraphina snapped her victim act finally slipping six months ago you took my serpent and
07:21shoved that frost wing onto me you don't get to just walk away from this the audacity was breathtaking
07:27it had been six months and she finally realized the academy standard rations were a drop in the
07:33bucket for a pure blood beast she'd spent all her own potions on him and now her own arcane progress
07:38had stalled while everyone else in her year had surpassed her he is your responsibility if a divine
07:44beast can't evolve it's a loss for the whole academy i didn't wait for her to finish with a flick
07:50of my wrist a surge of mana swept her off her feet and sent her tumbling out the gate
07:56don't treat everyone like a fool seraphina i called out as the gate slammed shut
08:00kind of martyr spend 10 years doing the heavy lifting just so you can reap the rewards
08:05if you can't afford him cut him loose and stop hogging the spotlight
08:11in just a few months i transcended the senior ranks and was ordained as an arcanist
08:15right around then the headmaster spent two top tier artifacts to trade for a rare spirit wolf from
08:21the alchemy guild he sent professor whitmore and me to escort the beast back to the academy
08:25when we arrived she suddenly giggled little rowan your serpent certainly is a clingy one
08:31i didn't catch her meaning until i headed up the mountain and saw a figure leaning against a tree by
08:36the path nikes he didn't move then he grabbed me fingers locking at the back of my neck forcing me
08:43to
08:43look at him golden eyes burning rowan ashford have i not treated you well his grip tightened
08:48what are you talking about that woman came by again today she said you left me to her are you
08:54regretting our bond already you're replacing me with another mate just because you've ascended
08:59nix's pupils narrowed into thin lines he bent down burying his face in the crook of my neck
09:04and gave the skin a slow deliberate lick then bared his fangs his voice a low growl against my ear
09:09the scent of a spirit wolf your new mate nikes listen no need once i devour it a faint smile
09:17you won't have a choice you'll keep me
09:25you hit me over her that's the headmaster's spirit wolf you idiot it's an academy asset
09:31ness stopped throwing a fit and followed me like a loyal shadow the dorm area was quiet a few lower
09:36years told me seraphina had taken the frost wing to the back mountain turns out they were having a
09:40lover spat wipe that look off your face i've done nothing wrong do you know how many potions i've
09:48wasted on you i have nothing left for my own training i gave you everything and you're still not
09:54satisfied you want me to risk my life outside the academy for materials you're insane if you want me dead
09:59just say it rowan c reflin has already shifted and look at you you can't even speak
10:08stop scratching words in the dirt i'm done reading your pathetic notes in my last life i spent 10 years
10:16begging for a single glance from that bird now he was literally scratching love letters in the mud
10:21just to get seraphina to look at him the irony was delicious seraphina i've been looking for you
10:27the frost wing immediately scrambled to claw over the words on the ground when seraphina saw me with
10:31ness her face went pale then tight with forced calm what do you want rowan i patted ness's arm he
10:36let
10:37out a low amused chuckle dropped to one knee and let me sit on his leg his hand steady and
10:41possessive
10:42on my waist seraphina bit her lip her eyes glued to ness she completely forgot about the bird beside her
10:48i'm here to ask why you've been stalking my familiar the frost wing's feathers flared in a jealous rage
10:52seraphina panicked no you've got it all wrong i was looking for you she's lying master she told me
11:00you snatched me away from her claimed i was rightfully hers ness rested his chin on my shoulder
11:05acting like a kicked puppy i kissed his cheek a little pat as a reward then looked at seraphina
11:10beside her the frost wing's chest exploded he was livid finally seraphina realized what was happening
11:16you're trying to drive a wedge between us you started this game seraphina don't cry when i'm the
11:22one who finishes it if you touch my famil again i'll see you at the tribunal on the way back
11:27i was in
11:27a great mood ness however was strangely quiet as we entered the yard he grabbed my arm you know that
11:33bird don't you well we have a history a miserable one want to hear it no i'm 10 000 times
11:40better than
11:40that trash bird you're never bonding with anyone else period don't worry i'm a one venison kind of
11:46mage you gave me your loyalty i'll give you my word
12:0010 years vanished in a flash i climbed the ranks rising from a lowly neophyte to an elite arcanist
12:06then the former head of the beast taming hall suddenly went on a trip and the position fell
12:10into my lap
12:16professor whitmore told me we thought the frost wing would raise graymarrow's strength to a new level
12:23but even now there's no sign of him achieving his human form the faculty even tried pooling
12:29resources to fuel his evolution it's not enough side cut in gray marsh was small we didn't have the
12:35deep pockets of the top magic academies or the alchemy guild raising magical creatures took massive amounts of
12:40time and resources there was never a surplus but more importantly the frost wing couldn't be allowed
12:46to manifest i remembered the bloodbath from my last life i'd avoided that bird at all costs but i knew
12:52his
12:52kind a divine beast with a dark heart is a walking apocalypse i thought about killing him but every
12:58time i tried to warn nyx or the headmaster about the future it was as if an invisible wall blocked
13:02my
13:02voice they couldn't hear a thing i said about my past life i could only watch him suppress him
13:09after all in my last flight i didn't survive past this year
13:15i was so busy i barely had time for nyx so he went off to find his own fun that
13:20evening before i even
13:21reached my front door the world's fun nyx had slung me over his shoulder like a sack of grain
13:27what are you doing now come on i'm taking you to see a show
13:36the show was seraphina and the frost wing arguing well more like a one-sided screaming match
13:41a loudspeaker yelling at a mute don't you dare
13:45blame me i didn't took her that stick grayman did it right odd you fundy of play mart i didn't
13:53force
13:53you to come to gray mark you said it was a good place to hone your magic
13:59if it weren't for you i'd be at the alchemy guild by now instead i'm stuck in this pathetic broke
14:05academy
14:29i clenched my fists so that was it
14:32i always wondered why the frost wing chose seraphina they'd known each other all along
14:36in my last life if i hadn't been the pool who bled for them it would have been someone else
14:41gray marsh was never a home to them it was a stepping stone the more i thought the colder
14:46my blood ran there are only two ways to break the soul bond the caster willingly severs it or the
14:52caster dies
14:57so i must die
15:01the frost wing was lurking outside my gate glaring at nix as he soaked in the spring nix was being
15:06his
15:06usual petty self shifting into human form just to mock the bird i didn't give the frost wing a second
15:11glance you're familiar aren't you why aren't you with seraphina while she trains nix followed my lead
15:18dripping wet and leaning against me yeah my mistress actually cares about me so she lets me rest
15:25why aren't you with yours he's decades older than me yet he says master like it's candy on his tongue
15:30i walked into the yard and glanced at the spring at least that girl's manipulative aura hadn't tainted
15:35my spring nix pressed closer his damp skin radiating heat i just wanted that bird to know there's no
15:41vacancy in this house or our relationship and what relationship is that his golden pupils shimmered
15:46with mischief we are whatever you desire us to be master something shifted behind us i went to turn
15:52but nix caught my face in his hands don't bother the trash bird flew away i need to know why
15:58he was
15:59here that bird is rotten to the core he's regretting his choices obviously he realizes he's stuck with a
16:05loser novice and wants back in your good graces i looked at the empty gate my gut told me it
16:10was more
16:10than that in this life i've gone out of my way to avoid him if he wanted a new master
16:14he could have
16:15asked the faculty unless he's reborn too the thought sent a chill down my spine i teleported to the back
16:21mountain instantly the seal was intact thank god but then i saw them blue green feathers scattered
16:27near the array he'd been here he's too weak to break the seal now but he knows it exists only
16:33a
16:33handful of people knew about the abyssal monster sealed here my parents died protecting this place
16:37and in my last life i'd only ever shared that secret with one person the frost wing why was he
16:44here he
16:45hasn't even manifested yet there's no way he could survive letting the monsters out i'll have to watch him
16:50like a hawk this just got a lot more dangerous rumors started flying through the academy mostly
16:57about seraphina what annoyed me was that i got dragged into the crossfire anyone with eyes could
17:02see that seraphina and her familiar had hit a wall the frost wing was a high profile beast and at
17:08first
17:09seraphina lived for the attention he brought her now he refused to even enter her room and openly defied
17:14her commands she'd already made a fool of herself on the training grounds more than once the reason i
17:19was involved was simple while the frost wing rejected seraphina he started obsessively hovering
17:24around me every time i appeared he'd follow me like a lost puppy if looks could kill seraphina would
17:30have left me dead in a ditch a thousand times over little roba doesn't that bird remind you of the
17:35kind of guy who dumps you then realizes you were totally out of his lage and comes crawling back
17:40he ignored you when you were beneath him and now he can't get enough nix was currently coiled around
17:45my neck in his serpent form if i hadn't ripped him in time the professor's unicorn would have been his
17:50lunch the professor clutched her unicorn saying how terrifying though her eyes were twinkling with
17:56mischief since that girl can't afford to raise him anyway why don't i talk to her we'll find her a
18:02more
18:02suitable pet and just transfer the frost wing to you professor dawn the unicorn's human form a cute
18:08little girl finally had enough she clamped her hands over whitmore's mouth looking miserable
18:13please stop talking i patted nix to calm him down i'll pass i'd rather stay far away from the
18:20tribunal besides nikes is all i need besides nix is all i need whitmore looked disappointed
18:27but the bird clinging to you like this isn't a long-term solution a familiar estranged from its
18:32partner is worthless to the academy he's just a drain on seraphina
18:35she hasn't progressed past the novice stage in 10 years the faculty is discussing sending her and
18:40the bird down the mountain for field training i knew exactly what the headmaster and the professors
18:45were doing they were protecting me they had also officially given up on the frost wing this was
18:50largely thanks to the terrifying combat power nix displayed the leviathan clan is born for war
18:54together he and i could even hold our own against high-level professors
19:00when seraphina heard the academy wanted her to leave for field training she burst into tears on
19:04the spot gray marsh might not be rich but it never mistreats its students she'd finally found a place
19:09that offered protection there was no way she was going back to a life on the road she even managed
19:13to convince herself this was her idea in her head i was trying to drive her out just so i
19:17could claim
19:18the frost wing for myself in front of the professor she left like her world was ending refusing to budge
19:23an
19:23inch if rowan wants the frost wing she only have to ask she's an upperclassman of course i'd say yes
19:30but if she takes my bird shouldn't she give me necks in return
19:35trading a mutt serpent for a pure blood frost wing no matter how you look at it she'd be getting
19:41the
19:41better end of the bargain the headmaster shut her down instantly uh miss voss
19:48let's just focus on you and your bird shall we we won't be entertaining any
19:55creative trades today all of this was relayed to me later while they were dealing with seraphina's
20:00drama i was at the beast taming hall investigating a series of strange disappearances any magical
20:05creature that was unbonded or too wild to tame was kept here but yesterday two kelpies and a unicorn
20:10had vanished into thin air the warden looked ready to break down i reinforced the wards myself if anything
20:16had tampered with the locks i would have felt it but last night nothing not a single ripple in the
20:24mana it wasn't abyss and monsters i don't smell their filth here i don't smell their filth here the
20:30beast taming hall is carved directly into the mountain the rock itself is enchanted with heavy
20:34anti-magic wards teleportation and phasing spells are useless here only those carrying the academy's
20:40sigil can pass through to steal three large creatures without a sound the thief had to be someone who
20:44knew gray martian side and out i was still running through the list of suspects when i heard the
20:48curator using a high-pitched baby voice to comfort a trembling pixie don't be scared big brother nikes
20:54only looks fierce he won't eat you i promise that one sentence made everything click professor
21:01do magical creatures ever kill their own kind what a terrifying thing to say
21:07these creatures are sentient they would never oh it's okay pixie it's okay humans kill their own
21:14kind magical creatures are no different there's a type of forbib and sorry do you want to hear the
21:19details wild magical creatures don't have potions to rely on they want to ascend the ultimate shortcut
21:24is the magic train essence 10 years ago nikes nearly died at the hands of one of those monsters the
21:29higher the rank of the target the swifter the dark wizard gains power once they get a taste for it
21:34they
21:34never stop that night we set an ambush at the beast hang hall but the night passed in silence
21:43nothing happened a student came running toward us his face pale as a ghost
21:53nix shifted into the serpent form
21:58and carried me straight there his pupils narrowed into sharp slits i smell blood we heard the gut
22:04wrenching sobs it was one of the first years i'd been coaching he'd come to graymorph with a tiny
22:09kitten familia now he was cradling a blood-soaked clump of fur wailing in a voice that broke my heart
22:14you were right it was a professional hit gutted for its core and killed in a single strike it didn't
22:17have time to scream the kid only ran out after he felt the soul bond snap but by then it
22:22was too late
22:23my heart tightened with a cold fury instinctively my eyes searched for the frost wing he was standing
22:30obediently beside seraphina my vision blurred with rage don't look it was him how can you be so sure
22:37i know the stench of a dark wizard that bird reeks of it
22:42i reported everything to the headmaster he listened in grim silence then finally looked up
22:47we can't alert him yet we need to catch him red-handed keep a close watch on him wait for
22:51his next move
22:54but from that day on the bird went silent not a single creature went missing for two long years
23:00but nex could still smell the stench of a dark sorcerer on that bird night fell and i was meditating
23:06inside suddenly a pair of blood-red eyes flashed past my window a chill raced down my spine i rushed
23:12outside into the silence the moon was thin the spring was calm but where was nice i ran to the
23:18water's edge a single blue-green feather floated on the surface it was an invitation find me and maybe
23:24i'll give him back i focused sensing the bond the back mounting the seal what the hell was that bird
23:30trying to do the moment i teleported in a violent shock wave of mana nearly knocked me off my feet
23:36nox and the frost wing were locked in a vicious duel i froze when had the bird attained his human
23:41form
23:42he stood there in robes of teal dodging nox's strikes with effortless grace and beside the ceiling array
23:48sat seraphina she looked like a discarded marionette i stepped closer horror clawing at my throat she was
23:54bleeding from every orasis her eyes wide with a lingering frozen terror her abdomen had been gutted
24:00her magical essence ripped out and stolen nox get back here stay away from him nox faltered the
24:06second he heard my voice taking a direct hit from the bird he stumbled back to me clutching his
24:12shoulder and looking at me with those damn puppy dog eyes the frost wing hissed in rage you did that
24:18on purpose nex bared his fangs on purpose you're the one who's rotten to the core killing your own
24:24binder wasn't enough you had to come after mine too if i hadn't followed your trail she'd be
24:30dead by now so those red eyes at my window had been his he ignored nix and turned to me
24:35his gaze
24:35burning rowan you were reborn too weren't you i stared back at him cold as the abbess what do you
24:42really want let me guess you came back on the day of the right that's why you rejected me tell
24:50me rowan
24:50what gave you the nerve to choose that snake over me his face twisted into something monstrous fine if we
24:58can't have this life we'll try the next i'll break the seal let the monsters out and we can restart
25:03this whole nightmare together but next time i won't give that snake a chance save your fake devotion
25:13the frost wing smiled too late i'm only one step away his hand moved through his flaring behind his
25:20back the mountain groaned the abyssal monsters sensed the array loosening the ground groaned and
25:25trembled under their growing agitation at that moment a massive bolt of lightning tore through the clouds
25:30gathering right above the bird's head beams of light erupted from the peaks of gray marsh
25:35as the academy's defense systems flared to life the headmaster's voice cut through it
25:41hold the line i'll reseal the breach lightning above a tide of monsters below and yet the frost
25:50wing showed no fear rowan it's over you can't stop it just come with me to the next life i
25:57died here
25:58once same sky same beard i couldn't breathe i promise this time i'll give you everything and a warm
26:04heavy hand landed on my shoulder nick slide out of her sharp laugh taking her try nick stepped in
26:11behind me lifting it just slight like this steadying the wand adjusting the angle focus his voice dropped
26:21low steady don't fight it the tremor in my hand slowed say it the wand flickered his grip tightened i
26:31guess
26:32and then his voice dropped over mine the wand flared light burst from the tip blinding
26:38and violent a barrier surged outward tearing through the air
26:45the barrier held his hand still over mine i didn't pull away then the ground cracked again something below
26:52slammed against the barrier harder this time my grip tightened instinctively no his fingers pressed tighter
26:59over mine guiding the wand forward we're not done the fight's just starting stay with me nix shifted
27:06into his massive serpent form and launched his attack i immediately wove my seals to cast a heavy
27:11shield over him every familiar has its own nature and a mage must adapt to match a leviathan is built
27:17for
27:18war so the caster must master defense a spirit fox is built for deception requiring mastery of illusions a
27:25frost wing is built for speed it needs a partner who can keep up in my last life my skills
27:30were wasted
27:30i was a shield maiden trying to catch a bird that didn't want to be caught but now fighting alongside
27:35nix i finally understood that a binder and their familiar are more than just owner and servant they
27:41are partners someone you can trust with your life a traitorous beast who kills its own kin would never
27:47understand that nix pressed forward with real efficiency hurting the frost wing directly into
27:52the strike zone divine lightning coiled in the sky like a massive silver dragon ready to descend at first
27:58the frost wing relied on his pure blood arrogance assuming a mutt like nix could never defeat him
28:03but a hundred strikes later his face went pale nix was hitting every vital point with lethal precision
28:09while the bird couldn't even put a dent in nix's shield he finally realized the truth
28:13i wasn't going to die in a monster's jaws today like he'd planned he completely snapped no this is
28:20wrong you're supposed to die we're supposed to die together i stopped weaving my seals nix splashed
28:26back to my side in a heartbeat looking down at the bird with a mocking grin the frost wing froze
28:31realizing he was standing alone in the center of the array i raised my hand and pointed to the heavens
28:36i gave him one last smile see you never a pillar of lightning thick as a wall
28:41lord down and struck him dead center he didn't even have time to scream before he was erased from
28:46existence just like that he was nothing but ash in the wind
28:51with the frost wing gone the real nightmare began the monsters in the back mountain were on another
28:57level they couldn't be killed only seal especially the abyssal dragon the previous headmaster gave his
29:03soul to anchor the seal and even then he barely managed to cage her she's been stewing in her own
29:08rage for a century the second she breaks free she'll level this academy to the ground the current
29:13headmaster and the professors were working frantically but the seal was cracking faster than they could
29:18repair it the freezing chill of the abyss was already crawling under my skin nix was leaning against a tree
29:23teasing me about his reward for the fight when he suddenly froze he stared into the heart of the
29:29forbidden forest his eyes sharp and predatory what is that he asked the abyssal dragon i replied my
29:36voice trembling his face turned grave wait for me out here i have to go in i caught his hand
29:41before
29:42he could move i'm going with you he frowned rowan it's a death trap in there i know i said
29:48looking him
29:48dead in the eye in my last life i died right here i watched the frost wing shield seraphina and
29:54fly away
29:55leaving me to be torn apart by the monsters i tightened my grip on his hand i'm not letting
30:00history repeat itself i'm not leaving you
30:05nix and i charged headlong into the shattered seal the forbidden forest was a graveyard of toxic mist
30:10thousands of eyes tracked our every move from the shadows hungry and cold nix was no longer the
30:15little snake on my wrist he had shifted into his true form a massive lethal serpent the abyssal
30:21monsters had lost their minds to the darkness but instinct still screamed at them to keep their
30:25distance from him i clung to his back whispering what exactly are we looking for his voice rumbled
30:31through his massive chest the dragon i nearly lost it i followed him straight into the jaws of death
30:38without even asking for the itinerary then he added softly rowan i can smell my mother here i'd always
30:45assume he was just a hybrid part sea serpent part siren he never spoke of his past and i never
30:51pushed
30:51now i knew the truth he had sea serpent blood yes but his mother was a literal ancient dragon
30:57no wonder he fights like a god and sings like a dying toad he told me his mother wasn't always
31:03a
31:03monster two centuries ago a dark mage ripped the magical essence from his father's chest consumed by
31:09grief and vengeance she lost herself to the darkness and fell into the abyss i didn't have the words to
31:14comfort him all i could do was lean forward and press a hand to his scales but there was no
31:19time
31:19for heart to hearts the monsters around us were starting to close in their patience wearing thin
31:24nick set me down shifting back into human form we stood back to back a circle of two against the
31:30dark
31:30rowan he said his voice tight if things go south i'm going to throw you out of here don't look
31:36back
31:37just run in that moment the fear vanished i looked at the horde and felt a strange calm
31:42if the frost wing was right and i can just start my life after i die maybe that wouldn't be
31:47so bad
31:48i felt him stiffen i leaned my head against his shoulder but you told me i can only ever have
31:53one
31:54family max i took that seriously if you don't want to watch me get eaten alive then you'd better fight
31:59like hell to keep me standing the abyssal monsters had been warped by the void for too long they were
32:07barely recognizable anymore just walking piles of teeth and homicidal instinct they swarmed us in a
32:12frenzy forcing us onto a desperate defense nax batted away a spray of toxic venom his voice thick with regret
32:22this is on me i let my heart get in the way i just wanted to see her one last
32:29time suddenly i went
32:30turdy nax whipped around his face pale with alarm thinking i'd been hit but then he saw it too
32:38the monsters that had been clawing at us just seconds ago vanished in an instant the silence was
32:44deafening through the shifting fog two blood red beacons ignited she was a mountain of scales and rage
32:50every breath she exhaled it tore through the fog like a hurricane beneath the scales a woman's face
32:58a horrific mask the second she caught our scent she lunged her massive jaws open to swallow the world
33:05i wanted to scream to run but my limbs were led in two lifetimes i had never stood before a
33:12true god
33:14this wasn't just fear it was a primal dread etched into my very soul but the killing blow never came
33:20nix stepped in front of me shielding me with his body mother stop don't hurt her
33:28it's me it's ness
33:31n-ness the crimson in her eyes flickered little nine and this kill me the dragon exhaled her magical essence
33:40a shimmering pulsing orb of pure power and motioned for nix to shatter it he caught the crystal
33:46those hands strong enough to crush mountains were now trembling unable to break a single
33:51fragile stone he looked at his mother with pleading in his eyes
33:54i can't
33:57the dragon was fighting for every second of control her body jerking as the darkness tried to pull her back
34:02under dot the core slipped from nix's shaking hands and floated toward me good child
34:10you do it i caught the crystal my heart racing the course power slammed into me a bolt of pure
34:16lightning
34:17raw energy began tearing through my veins like wildfire a warm hand covered mine i looked up and
34:22saw tears streaming down nix's face the first time i had ever seen him cry he looked at the dragon
34:27one last
34:28time his grip on my hand tightening with resolve goodbye mother with a sharp crystal and crack
34:35the core shattered in my palm the dragon let out a long final breath at last i can sleep
