A few thousand years ago, Kayden and the dragon were facing a soul war. The issue was that this was a completely individual war, as only Kayden had the ability to manipulate souls well enough to perform actions.
He had been studying what each part of the soul did for a long ti. Whenever he had a hypothesis, he trained directly on the dragon. One of them was the manipulation of rooted mories.
This was an extrely delicate subject, as these parts of the soul were solid and remained rooted without any change regardless of what happened around them, Kayden took a long ti to be able to break one of these mories in the dragon.
This action was like magic, while Kayden lived through one of the most traumatic monts of the animal’s life, Nivus had his two wings being remade and becoming perfectly healthy.
anwhile, Kayden faced a mory of being tortured for hours and then having his wings ripped off without any gentleness, it was a horrible feeling, the worst part being the emotional shock the dragon went through.
Fortunately, Kayden’s mind was sothing completely surreal and he didn’t even feel anything as he saw each of the dragon’s traumatizing mories, it didn’t take long for the dragon’s soul to turn into a ss.
She didn’t have any mories ingrained at that mont, they were all undone leaving him with a totally different and... volatile appearance, every few days sothing changed, the soul was trying to force lasting mories, but it was a failure.
Kayden had just placed random mories without much disturbance in those roots and saw how the soul changed and adapted perfectly to the new mories, even sothing as simple as standing still showed itself physically in Nivus.
What followed was perhaps one of the most heinous acts of Kayden’s life, where he was literally molding a living being little by little, his ability to manipulate the soul improved every day, and it wasn’t long before he was able to recreate all the mories rooted.
Nivus tried to beg Kayden to stop, at first he acted strong, but slowly his mind began to break when he saw that Kayden was just using his soul to study and he couldn’t even understand what the boy was doing.
Kayden even replicated all his mories on Nivus, this process took a long ti, but it was an absolute success and at the sa ti a great failure, at that mont he understood that perhaps souls had many secrets beyond what he dread of.
Nivus beca a miniature of himself in actions and thoughts, but that was it, he didn’t get his ability even after having all his mories and that wasn’t even the worst part, the bad side was the fact that Nivus started to destroy his mories.
In place of Kayden’s mories, the dragon’s own began to slowly co back to life, it was sothing incredible, Kayden couldn’t understand where this natural regeneration ca from, what led this soul to return to its natural state?
The soul was supposed to be eternal according to his knowledge, but perhaps it didn’t need to be the sa eternal soul, he could destroy small pieces and they would be regenerated naturally, but this had two very big prices.
The first was the emotional shock and pain, the pain was so strong that even though Nivus was in an immaterial state just as a soul... he was unconscious without being able to go through this pain consciously.
The second price was perhaps the biggest of them, the soul was eternal and it would regenerate, this would be done automatically, and this ant that you could both have a new mory and a new personality.
These pieces of soul that Kayden destroyed simply disappeared without him knowing where they ca from or where they would go, it was simply a aningless disappearance, it went against what he was taught.
The soul worked based on balance at all tis, when sothing was missing, it added sothing else to regain balance and if Kayden wanted, he could add sothing random to suppress the imbalance.
The real problem was that this disappearing soul part was thrown sowhere Kayden had no access to, he had no idea where exactly it went, this was sothing he would have to learn later.
In a mont, Kayden left Nivus aside and focused on himself, he didn’t have any kind of strong mory, his body was formless and without purpose, which ant he could take any piece of it freely.
Without any hesitation, Kayden took a small piece of his soul and let it disappear into the unknown, a ridiculous pain assaulting his body and making him feel like an ant, a frog at the bottom of the well.
Not even the pain of his entire life combined would give 1% of the pain he was going through, his mind was ridiculously strong, practically unbreakable and yet he was finding himself losing his consciousness.
Kayden didn’t know how long he was unconscious, but at so point, he just woke up and.....
"Holy shit", Kayden had so kind of small star-shaped protrusion on his round shape, it wasn’t difficult for him to study this star and understand that it was a fragnt of talent.
His connection with the stars increased to a ridiculous degree, Kayden could practically feel the presence of the stars in all of his mories, they were like living entities and forces that he could manipulate.
The stars opened to him like new knowledge that he had never even seen before, truths and secrets opened to his mind easily without any need for study.
Where did this co from? How was such profound knowledge placed in his soul like that? This was practically a divine gift that he received, at that mont Kayden could consu an entire star from millions of kiloters and convert it into mana directly.
Logically, his kingdom would limit the conversion rate, but this was still ridiculous, as there was a huge difference in this conversion, he did not have to spend any physical or ntal energy.
