I didn't owe the eggs anything. In a way, I didn't even know why I was here. It was stupid. Suicidal.
But then there was the Juvenile Nature Dragon's request. As easy as it would have been to ignore it, that didn't feel right. Not only did I owe the dragon for all the Essence it provided, as well as the major update to my Accessible Shifts, but I had the distinct feeling I would regret not helping. And I no longer wanted to live with regret.
Even if I had to die at some point, I wanted to live my life without it.
With that in mind, I shifted into my Lesser Wisp form and surged toward the corpses, hoping to drain them. The Lesser Wisp's sight was just as confusing as last time, but it was no longer unfamiliar territory. I outlined the corpses, focused on the energy gathering within them, and empowered myself by draining it.
It worked… somewhat.
