Chapter 35 - The truth about Liora

Later that night…

Ok Liora, do you know anything about who you truly are?

"I know some of the basic things."

You are The Beginning in dragon form.

This means you haven't quite figured out your true identity yet, and that's holding you back.

So if you figure out your identity, you will have the following abilities…

Spark of Existence – You can create matter, life, or energy. You can also erase matter by returning it to pre-creation nothingness with this ability.

Beginning Rewrite – You can make an enemy's spell "begin" as a harmless spark, make a mountain's foundation "begin" as dust, and make a battle "begin" with you already victorious with this ability.

Breath of First Life – You can restore someone to their healthiest state, create entirely new lifeforms or ecosystems, and revive anything that has a beginning. However, non-existent things can't be revived. You can do all of this with a single ability.

There are many other abilities you could possibly unlock, but it is entirely up to you.

But for now, it's getting late. Get some sleep; we'll talk tomorrow.

"Ok, I'll have some questions though."

That's fine. Lay them on me in the morning.

The next morning…

Ok, so what are your questions, Liora?

"My first question is how can I find my true identity?"

Well Liora, that is up to you. It's your identity. You need to look at yourself—your life, who and what you are—and embrace it until you find your true identity and who you were meant to be.

"Ok, my second question is more about you."

Ok, let's hear it.

"How were you able to revive after Mortyn, who is supposedly the End, killed you?"

Well that's very simple. I'm beyond beginnings and ends. They have no grasp on me—nothing does.

I don't even have a soul anymore, but I can create and destroy them.

Ok, so your next question?

"Why did you come back here, and why are you still bothering with us?"

Huh, I thought it would be a little longer before y'all asked this question, but I might as well answer.

Bring Mortyn and Obsidra over here. We need to have a family talk.

Once everyone is gathered…

So, Liora asked why I came back and still bother with you guys, and here is my answer.

Y'all are the first real family I've ever had. When I was born, my mother abandoned me, and when I finally found a family, it wasn't for me but rather for the dragon who wanted to marry me.

And before even those events…

Ahh, how do I explain…

I'm not originally from this world; rather, I was reborn here.

"What!"

Yes, I know. I should have said something sooner.

I used to be a human on a little planet called Earth, but even then I witnessed my family's deaths at the age of three. My entire family was slaughtered right in front of me. When I was finally adopted, my father was abusive—he would hit me with beer bottles and wine bottles constantly. He would even put his cigarette out on my arm. My mother was the same; she would close doors on my hands if I was too slow to walk out. And a lot of other things happened that I still can't get over, but I'll get my revenge one day.

Anyway, y'all are my first real family, and I don't want to lose you. I want to cherish you forever.

That's why I'm here. That's why I bother being here.

To be continued…
