Ancestors

[Ixion]

A young purple dragoness opened her eyes up and saw a flower sitting right in front of her nose. Suddenly her head shot up, she never fell asleep in a garden. Looking around her heart began to beat fast and hard. This was the afterlife, she wasn't supposed to be here before she opened her mouth to freak out a soothing voice was heard from behind her.

"There you are" the voice said with a feminine touch "Trisha my daughter."

[Ixion]

"M...mother?" Trish stuttered looking around "how did i get here I just fell asleep with Auntie Zharitana and...Am I dead?" she asked as her mother laughed.

"No no you are not dead just detached from your body. Once we are done here you will be returned" Teresa said with a smile and motioned her to follow "Come walk with me" she said.

Trish hesitantly followed her mother the shock and fear slowly ebbing away.

[Ixion]

Following her mother throughout the gardens she couldn't help but look at the other residents who gave her a wave and she followed suit with a smile "So mom why did you bring me here?" she asked with a tilt of her head.

"I know you found the letter Ixion and Zharitana hid from you." she said with a nod to another resident "And the time has come to claim your birthright." she said as they continued walking to two angelic looking dragons guarding a gate.

[Ixion]

"What business do you have here Teresa and with a living one as well" the guard asked looking at the two under his helmet.

"This is my daughter and we need to see...him" she said looking at the guard "It is time for her to collect her birthright but we need him to unlock the potential inside her" she said.

"Fine but remember we do not regulate anything that goes on beyond this gate. Go at your own peril" the guard said as he and his companion moved aside.

[Ixion]

Pushing the gate aside both Teresa and Trisha moved through it and walked down a long path that led deeper but noticeable there were no other souls around.

"Mom? Where are we going?" Trisha asked a little frightened.

"You will see honey, don't worry mommy is here and she will protect you" she said as she kept a close eye on her surroundings seeing the shadows of other residents of this area following them.

As they progress Trisha started seeing the shadows and kept close to her mother untill they came upon another gate "Stay close to me" Teresa said as she opened this gate as well.

[Ixion]

As the gate opened a heavy presence could be felt as Trish hurried to her mother who already had moved through the gate. Walking the area around them grew darker untill they came to a round clearing where they stopped in the middle. Teresa stood at attention her eyes looking upwards at an angle. Trisha followed her gaze and gasped seeing a large dragon shrouded in darkness with what look liked electricity arcing across it's form.

Looking around she saw more shadowed figures each with a different element emanating across their bodies "The...Primals'" was all she could say.

[Ixion]

Suddenly the one with thunder opened his eyes as they glowed a unearthly blue "One of my kin comes" he bellowed looking down and acknowledge their presence "No two have arrived" it said and leaned down closer "Teresa and another?" it said.

Teresa smiled a warm smile "Greeting Ancestor Torm it is good to see you again" she said.

"Aye that it is, that it is." he focused on the smaller purple dragon "And this I assume is your daughter descendant of mine?" he nodded "And she has come to claim her birthright" Torm said

"Yes this is Trisha my only daughter. She is of age and wishes to claim her Primal powers." she said.

"Excellent but before you claim them there a few things that need to be done Trisha of Purple Scales, when you are ready you we will begin."

[Ixion]

Trisha hesitantly stepped forward looking back at her mother who nodded her head approvingly then she looked up at Torm "Yes Ancestor Torm I'm ready" she said.

"Good. First the powers of the primals are a blessing and also a curse. You must promise to use them in the name of the well being of the world as a whole and not for sole purposes. Understand?"

Trisha nodded "yes i understand" she said as Torm nodded.

"Excellent now hold still young one as I unlock the hidden trait in your blood" he said as a large claw reached down and with a single nail pressed it against her forward as a symbol appeared on it.

Trish was experiencing a flood of experience as her mind was shown tricks and techniques and finally the knowledge to access her Primal form. Removing his claw Torm nodded "Behold at your body now Trish Purple Phoenix."

Trish was unsure of what he meant and looked at her down as a mirror like substance formed and she gasped. Her horns had grown longer and were well away from her head as her mane had grown long but silky. She had four wings now two big and two medium, her usually amthest eyes glowed slightly azure and her tail tip was split into two blades. She was much taller now almost as big as her mother and father. Her purple scales had blue tints and the occasional lightning bolt across her body.

"I...incredible!" she shout excited looking over her new body with Torm chuckling and Teresa giggling.

[Ixion]

Torm looked down at her and smiled "Yes it is incredible. Now for the last thing" he said as he took a small orb out and with ease pushed it into her chest and nodded as Trisha touched the spot "That is the Primal Orb passed on from descendant to descendant. It will act as a second heart if your first one goes out. It will die of old age but not for a very long time. And being Phoenix blood your life span is great. Perhaps to long enough to see the children of your 10th generation" he said and held up a digit "If you so wish it that is." he said.

Teresa smiled "Thank you Torm. Now Trisha it will take a while to master the Primal Lightning that is why your life is increased."

Torm chuckled "Or like your mother you will master it in a few short years." he looked at them both "Now go you two spend the reminder of the hour with each other. Teresa your revival is soon so rest up"

Both mother and daughter nodded and left and withing moments as if by magic were back in the main gardens.

[Ixion]

Trish stood and examined her body once more and Teresa laughed "Change of pace from the normal Dest form huh?" she asked looking at her daughter.

"Yea big change" she smiled at her mother who nuzzled her

"Oh my big girl I can't wait to hug you again back on the ground" she said "So then what do you think dad would do if i showed back up"

She shrugged "I honestly don't know, but he wouldn't leave Martivir I know that" she said as he mother nodded.

"Yes your father is loyal and he deserves her...both of them deserve each other." she stretched and smirked "Maybe I'll have to find a new mate, or see if Martivir will at least share" she said.

"MOM!" she yelled embarrassingly causing her to laugh.

"Anyways dear i think it's time you go on back home."

[Ixion]

Trisha nodded but sadly so "Mom...I'll miss you" she said as her mother held her close.

"I'm closer than you think. That crystal if you ever need to talk just whisper my name and we can talk" she said as Trish suddenly began to feel heavy and with one last look at her mother's face Teresa said "My little princess of the lore" she said.

"I love you mom"
