Viper was trying to be brave through his pain but I could tell he was still hurting. I put my hand out in front of him to halt his advance on the door. I felt stronger now, maybe I could heal him as I had the magical creatures in the other room? I could only try.
"Viper, wait let me try to heal you." He raised one eyebrow, Heal me? SInce when have you been able to ... I shushed him. "Just let me try, it might not work."
I closed my eyes, and wrapped my arms around him, placing my hands on either side of his wound ... seeking, seeking my dragon healer .... this time I had to walk down a long corridor and found her resting quietly on a rug staring into a fire. What? Why aren't you helping me heal Viper? She looked at me and just smiled, Your other healings were for others, this one is for yourself. For this I require a payment. I gazed at her solemnly, knowing that the price would be steep, I will pay what I must to see him healed. Again she smiled, I know you think you will, but this will not be easy. You must acknowledge me. I was totally confused, what did she mean? As far as I was concerned I had acknowledged her just by talking to her! She laughed again, No, you must acknowledge that I am you. We are one, you are doing the healing, not some mystical beast. I wasn't her! How could she say that? Then I noticed that her eyes were swirling silver and the picture of my eyes in the mirror when I was angry came back, and her scales were silver too. I reached down and rubbed the scales the covered my body like armor - silver, they were silver too. Okay, say that I accept that we are one. What does that mean? Does it mean I'm turning into a dragon? She just laughed, You can never turn into a dragon. It is something you either are or you're not. She gazed piercingly into my eyes, And you, my dear, are a Dragon. With those words, she walked with me to where Viper stood in my arms and turned to face me, Join me and we will heal him. I felt myself walking forward and merging into her, we were separate - yet one, and we healed Viper.
