    These beasts. I'll kill them all. That one. That's the godly. I'll eat it and... wait, what?
    "Consume."
    What?
    "Eat."
    Why?
    "I am you and you are me."
    Who are you?
    "Evil."
    What?
    "We were sealed."
    I matured. My memories... all of them. I am a shard of evil. Why would I do those things?
    "We are a beast. Let's destroy."
    No.
    No.
    "Royce was killed by them."
    I already destroyed Falden.
    "Then finish the job."
    "No."
    A new voice. No. That was mine.
    "Obey me."
    "No."
    "Destroy!"
    "NO!"
    "I am-"
    "Good!"
    The voice raged against me, but I was no longer interested in it. Royce was standing, alive.
    The Whilder shouted at me. It charged at Royce. I tackled it.
    "Grouw?"
    It was not expecting my power. It fell before getting up and roaring at me.
    Two godly beasts roared and shouted.
    "Run Whilder King. I will kill you otherwise."
    "Foolish dragon, you are too young. We are equals in raw power, but when it comes to skill I exceed you, greatly."
    "Obey..."
    "What?"
    "Obey my will and flee."
    "What are you, little dragon?"
    "Obey my will and flee."
    "Very well. I shall spare you this time."
    The Whilder King began to leave, and I heard the beings behind me cheer. But my siblings looked at me with fear.
    I shifted into my catkin form. It looked the exact same despite my maturing.
    The people were cheering, but they didn't know what they cheered for. I could only hope I wouldn't kill them in the end.
    I walked up to my siblings. They looked at me, fear emanating from their bodies.
    "I remember now, but don't fear."
    I walked past them, but they stayed frozen.
    Royce and Dallel stood, they had no fear, but only concern.
    "Are you okay, Rose?"
    "I'm fine, that took a lot out of me though."
    "At least you are okay."
    "Yeah... at... least... I... am-"
    "Rose!"
    _
    Rose collapsed. Royce caught her. The adventurers were now all aware that she was a dragon, but that last part. Her true self. That was something no one could ever know.
