Azrial sat beside his new friend smiling as if nothing had happened to him or his family. His hand was gently and warm against Rayâ€™s stomach as his thumb stroked the baby now living within. â€œThat took guts Kid.â€ He smiled to Ray thankfully. Azrial tilted his head at the scar related question. He forgot that Ray was not a dragon and would not understand everything that just happened. His hand came off the tummy and rested on his new scar burnt into his own chest. â€œThat is what my breed calls an â€˜ishlumaâ€™â€ he laughed at the puzzled face on Ray.<br/><br/>â€œIt umâ€¦â€ he rubbed thr bridge of his nose thoughtfully trying to explain it. â€œItâ€™s a pact between those envolved in the creation of life. It holds us together and states what we have done together and what we are building. It locks the magics of the partners together so that the child can feed from it.â€ He looked at Ray, â€œI have given you a piece of my soul, my inner flame, and in return I have taken a piece of yours as well.â€ He moved Rayâ€™s hand to the scar on his body showing him that the scar would become full suddenly of a prism of colors with a pale rose pink color hidden into it. â€œThat is your soul reacting in my bodyâ€¦â€ he let Rayâ€™s hand go and brought his own to Rayâ€™s scar which would feel cool somehow yet reflect a blue purple and black flame with gold hidden underneath of it. â€œThat is my soul within youâ€¦â€ he smiled at the amazement Ray showed.<br/><br/>â€œWhat happened as what we say is the fusing of life, mine toâ€¦â€ he had to take a moment to breath briefly â€œyours. To allow the baby to grow, which I wil say your DNA will grow into the child through your blood. The processes were me putting you under a spell so you wouldnâ€™t feel anything that could cause pain while the egg was pressed into you. I used my magic to react to your bodyâ€™s DNA so that I could change the DNA in the egg to sink with yours, which is how the egg got into you. I simply mixed the DNA so that it would slide through and become a part of your body. While this was happening my magic and yours was set free and followed a channel between us between the bond we were sharing right then. However since I am fire based it caused it to burn and scar. My kinds consider it a mark of pride and love.â€ Azrial yawned some â€œYou look tiredâ€¦. You should sleep.â€<br/><br/>â€œWould you mind telling me where a pond is? And where I can sleep tonight?â€ he asked feeling drained from the events he had just done. Not to mention he needed to prepare to build a burial for his Nicki. â€œOh, and I should warn you. You will go through exactly what any of your breed would as far as pregnauncy, and I will instantly know should you get sick or feel weak.  You may have cravings but they may or may not be things you normally eat. Such as the fact dragons need coal, should you desire coal let me know so I can fix some that wont hurt you.â€
