[You've been fully awakened, Moon Dragon.]
Something awakened within Raiden, but he felt too distant from his own body to respond, trapped within an endless void. Through his mounting confusion, he released a startled cry and stared into the consuming darkness, trying to grasp what was unfolding.
The facts were stark: Ash was indeed dead, and he was the only remaining moon dragon. But his isolation only deepened the confusion rather than providing answers.
The feeling carried no pain but remained thoroughly unsettling. It was entirely foreign to him, as if his very soul was being dragged from slumber and flooded with bizarre energy.
Yet the energy wasn't flowing in from outside. Instead, it felt like something internal awakening, as if it had been slumbering within him all along.
