3150 Fractured Mind (Part 2)

The black sphere of the Abomination had swallowed the other two life forces to keep them alive. The Divine Beast side, in turn, had wrapped itself around what was left of the human body to shield it from the deathly touch of the Abomination and hasten its recovery.

Yet the fracturings of the Tiamat's life force had affected Lith's psyche so much that the human side had shut itself down to preserve what little strength it had left. Also, the Voidfeather was almost cut off from the Abomination.

With the human life force in shambles, the Voidfeather lacked the necessary strength to fully contain the Abomination and needed to keep his distance. The problem was that doing that limited his ability to communicate with the Void.

'The situation is not good. If I can't talk with him, I can't explain what has happened to George. If I do establish a full connection, however, there's the risk that our life forces will merge again before the wounds we have suffered have fully healed.

'If that happens, we'll die. We'd be back in our human form, with an almost severed neck, two holes in the chest, and unconscious. Unless I find someone capable of using Invigoration, I must keep the life forces split.

'At the moment my only option is to buy time to let the psychic trauma ease and let the physical damage of the human side heal enough so that fusing back into one body and mind won't kill us.

'At the same time, if I let George run rampant, he'll make a massacre. He has no idea where we are and how hard we've worked to build our life and reputation. Heck, even Mom would never forgive me for the most basic shit I would have done back on Earth if I ever had this kind of power.

'Heisenberg's beard, what can I do?' While the Voidfeather Dragon tried to figure out how to have his cake and eat it too, the Abomination emerged from the crater in the mountain's side and stared at the landscape.

"I'm hungry like I've never been my whole life, I'm on an alien planet, and my only companion is a talking sword. This day couldn't get any worse." He grunted and his eyes went wide in surprise at the realization.

"Wait a second, I understood the tiger guy but he didn't understand me. If this really is an alien planet, how can you speak English?" Derek asked.

"I don't. Blood bond." Ragnar?k took in and out the metal spikes on its hilt, making them pass through the Abomination harmlessly like when it had pinned Strider to the Void.

The contact with the spikes and the words "Blood bond" triggered the memory of the time Orion had gifted War to Lith. The Abomination fell to his knees while holding his head, feeling like it was seconds away from bursting open.

He witnessed the secret chamber in the Ernas Mansion, Raaz and Orion talking about something he didn't understand, and then the unveiling of a bastard sword. It was similar to Ragnar?k, yet different.

Amid the fits of pain and the flashes of light, Derek heard the following words echoing in his mind.

'Ragnar?k is a cursed blade that cannot be sheathed back without spilling blood. Yet its aim is always true and its loyalty to me is unbreakable.'

"Who's talking? Who's me?" Derek felt his head explode as one memory after the other flooded his mind, bringing him closer and closer to reconnecting with the human side.

'Oh, no you don't!' The Voidfeather stepped in before the sudden influx of Lith's thought forced the Void to shapeshift back into human form.

The Voidfeather Dragon couldn't deliver information to the Void directly but he could control the flow of memories from the human side to the Abomination and stop the merging process.

With the Voidfeather's intervention, the pain lessened and the Void had no recollection of his life as Lith again, ensuring that the barrier between the life forces would hold.

'I can't let George focus too much on what he has just seen. I need to keep him busy. Feed him enough information to protect himself and maybe think twice before going on a murder spree.

'Here goes everything!' The Voidfeather contacted the angry blade and gave it a precise sequence of instructions.
