Chapter 5

Jason stared at his eyes, was this the gift Sethneth had given him? if so how did he use it? what

did it do? and D'reth, she looked remarcably like...no it couldn't be, or could it? any way it was of no use to him, yet.

"Jason? Jason? could you unhand the mirror please? I would like it back you know" said a feminine voice

"sorry" was Jason's reply as he relinquished the mirror to D'reth

"well Jason, I think we should return to the Dragon hall, You can go on Mnementh or maybe D'neth will take you on his Dragon, Canth" said Al'x in his ear

Jason agreed to go on Mnementh to the Dragon hall. during the flight Al'x explained about the politics of the dragon village, everyone has a dragon, Green, Blue, Brown, Bronze or Gold, and all gold dragons are queens. there is a Major Queen and minor queens, and when a dragon mates with the major queen, his rider becomes leader of the entire village(which, in truth, was more a small town) and, Al'x added with some malice, D'neth should be leader but J'ram always made sure that D'neth was away on an errand when Ramoth, the major queen, rose to mate. The minor queens granted their mate's rider sway over areas of the village, Al'x added that he was lord of the dragon hall due to this set-up, with his wife S'lina and her dragon Pridith.

"when are we going to get there?" asked Jason

"Mnementh can only fly straight there, but when his battle rage is roused then he can teleport in a matter of seconds" said Al'x

they reched the dragon hall and when they landed Jason ran towards Ruth who bugled a welcome

"your eyes are different Jason"

"so are yours Ruth, they're gold like mine"

"is this the gift Sephneth was talking about?"

"probobaly"

"Jason, over here! I've some riding gear you might need" came Al'x's shout from the oter side of the hall

Jason went over to Al'x and was taught about the riding cloths, the saddle and the battle saddle he then was shown how to attach the saddle to Ruth and then they took off and flew around the  airspase above the hall then landed again

"you can have those" Al'x told Jason as Jason tried to hand the clothes and the saddles back to Al'x

"I'd better get back to the Temple and find D'neth so I can get a place to live" Jason told Al'x as he threw on the saddle and mounted Ruth

Ruth took off and started winging his way back to the Dragon temple

"how do you think sethneth's gift works Ruth?"

"maybe you should ask him"

"at the temple maybe"

After about half an hour they landed infront of the temple and Jason walked inside looking for D'neth but found someone else instead, praying infront of the gateway

"hi, do you know where D'neth is?" Jason asked the old man

"off on an errand some where, but i was wanting to talk to you, Do you know how to tap into your Deamana form?"

"no, I don't, what is a Deamana form?"

"here we go, right, you know that there are two plains of existance, the physical plane and the spiritual plain, you exist in both plains as a human and a spirit, well, tapping into your Deamana form is when you fuse temporaly to your spirit form and take on it's form and powers"

"how do you fuse with a spirit?"

"this is easier for Dragon worshipers by use of energy expansion, a gift we are given when we join the sect, you just focus on a portal in your mind then project it around yourself"

Jason watched as the old man concentrated then a golden light outlined him, the outline glowed and the old man's shape changed and became a bird like shape, an old bird at that, then changed back into the old man

"hmmm, I'll try that some time"

Jason flew off on Ruth and started looking for an  outcrop of land and landed on a suitable one. Jason sat down and concentrated on what Sethneth looked like, then called out to him with his mind, he heard another voice answer him and felt himself lift off the ground and up, looking down he saw his body still sitting on the ground, then he was in whiteness, nothingness. As he gazed about him he saw Sethneth's Sky blue body matirialize before him.

"you called?"

" yes, Sethneth? Can you grant me the ability to access my deamana form?

"of course I can, but I'll grant you an exta bonus on that, with Deamana forms most  people create wepons to use beside their powers, i will grant you the ability to retain that wepon in your physical form"

"thanks Sethneth, oh by the way, what's up with my eyes?"

"they allow you to see things as they realy are, you can see past lies, deceptions and shrouds to see things as they are not as te person ishis you to believe they are. they work automaticly before you ask"

"right, OK send me back"

"OK, but it will end in a bump"

Jason felt his directin change from floating to down, he was falling through the nothingness, gaining momentem as he fell. His body appeared through the nothingness as he slammed back into it, forcing his body to his knees.

   Jason got up and started to focus on his portal, he sensed the glow around him and felt his body change as he morphed into his Deamana form.
