Within the world of mories, Eniwse battled with her twin, both physically and verbally. Neither side was willing to back down despite having little to prove their legitimacy to the body.
Eniwse's twin was relentless, but Eniwse was even more stubborn.
Eniwse knew that their physical and verbal fights were inconsequential. The real deciding factor of their victory was the strength of their wills; the one to lose faith in themselves and doubt their origin would be the one to be swallowed by the other party.
A mont of weakness was all it would take to be lost forever.
"You say this is your body, but I bet you don't even know who you are! Nobody knows who you are or if you ever even existed!" Eniwse snapped back at her vengeful twin venomously. Surprisingly, her words struck her sore spot, causing her to show montary weakness.
"You're wrong! Of course, I know who I am! I am the soul of this body! I was barely ford with a will before you ca and robbed it from ! The life you lived was not your own but what should have been mine!"
"Even the talent you wield belongs to ! You are but a foreign dragon of fire who has died and should have passed on long ago! What are you still clinging to life for?! Don't you know how selfish you are!?"
"Why do you have to take my life away from ? Why, why, why?!"
Although Eniwse's twin showed a mont of weakness, she imdiately retaliated with a fiercer argunt.
Eniwse was stubborn, but she was still a person with feelings. She tried to deny her twin's existence because she thought it was just a ntal demon conjured from the darkness in her heart to test her will.
However, her twin's heartfelt expression of despair and loneliness planted a seed of doubt in her heart. As such, she also started to feel guilt and sympathy.
"I didn't ask for this, nor was I given a choice in this matter. I'm sorry if you feel wronged, but that's just how it is."
"If you feel sorry for , then give back my body! You didn't have a choice then, but you have a choice now! Furthermore, you have already used my body for several decades. It's ti you return it to ."
"I do feel sorry for you, but I can't do that. Even if this isn't my body then, it is my body now. My life is also my own, not yours."
Although Eniwse and her twin seed to have deepened their understanding of each other, they could not see eye to eye. Neither would ever agree to surrender their body.
As such, they could only keep clashing with increasing intensity and violence.
At the sa ti, the dark world was also changed according to clashing wills. Its endless fog of darkness was swept away by the brilliance of raging flas spewing out from Eniwse's side.
Half of the dream world was instantly transford into a world of fire.
On the other hand, her twin's side possessed a world of earth. It was an endless stretch of land filled with rocky mountains and steep cliffs.
As the two elental worlds collided, the rocks pierced through the wall of flas while the fire scorched the earth. In that instance, the world in between beca one that was full of scorched mountains and molten lava veins coursing down their towering heights.
Although Eniwse also tried to wield the earth elent, nothing happened. Instead, she received her twin's contempt.
"Stupid! Earth is my original talent! Do you think you can still it in my presence?!" "So that is how it is."
Eniwse quickly understood and didn't feel ashad. She continued to her twin seriously and calmly. Since the power of earth didn't listen to her, she fully relied on the power of fire.
At the sa ti, she was wondering why her twin, who she had never known, would confront her now of all tis and with so much willpower.
Did the pure mana nourish her?
Eniwse felt like this was the only reasonable explanation for her twin's sudden ergence after her transcendence.
Nevertheless, as Eniwse fought with her twin, it felt like she was fighting her mirror image. Although they were using different elental powers, their moves, spells, and even defenses were the sa.
They were evenly matched and couldn't gain any advantage over the other.
Even though all their powers were just fignts of imagination in the dream world, Eniwse started to feel strange as she tried to pull out more power of fire to topple her twin.
More mories of the decapitated dragon flowed into her mind.
More importantly, there weren't any more gloomy scenes of hard-won battles and struggles for improvent. Instead, they were warm mories of a dragon family.
Although her father was strict, there were no ill feelings of hatred or resentnt for the tough treatnt, only respect and adoration. She was proud to be the daughter of the most talented dragon lord in the clan.
Even her mother was another dragon lord.
As their child, it was only right for her to beco as powerful and talented as them so she wouldn't bring them sha and stain their honor.
Suddenly, Eniwse's heart trembled as she realized her dragon parents from the previous life were Lord Narvim and Lady Khaleesi.
She had always wondered why they would show her more care and concern than the rest of Vaan's won. It seed it was because they had recognized her as their reincarnated child
all along.
Eniwse suddenly missed them and had an urge to see them imdiately.
However, she couldn't because she was trapped in this dream world, battling another will who desired to take over her body.
Although ti probably flowed differently in the dream world, twenty years still passed since she was trapped. Considering both sides were still stubborn in their ways, it was unknown when she would ever get out if the status quo persisted.
Peng!
Eniwse suddenly stopped defending and got struck by an enormous rock pillar shooting her way. She was imdiately slamd into the molten ground and buried underneath it.
However, she didn't feel any pain, only a nudge to her mind.
At the sa ti, Eniwse's twin stopped attacking. She deeply frowned as she watched Eniwse climb from underneath the towering rock pillar.
"Why did you stop fighting?" Eniwse's twin doubted.
"Why must we keep fighting?" Eniwse coolly responded before saying, "While you and I seem to have conflicting opinions, I have co to learn that we share the sa tastes." "Everything I hate, you hate. Everything I like, you like, even my man. You are envious of what I have, as you believe it is rightfully yours. However, you have been mistaken from the
start."
"Everything I have is also yours, and everything you have is also mine. Why must we draw a clear line between what is yours and what is mine? We are of one body, so why can't we also be
of one mind?"
After Eniwse finished speaking, her twin appeared to be dumbfounded as she froze on the spot. However, she also gained enlightennt after acknowledging her words.
As a result, she felt all her pent-up resentnt dissipating from her body like dispersing
mists.
"It seems you have figured it all out," Eniwse's twin smiled peacefully as she faded away along with the dream world crumbling.
The solution had never been domination but acceptance and co-existence.
"Let's get along from now on, Big Sister..."
Eniwse heard her twin's last words right before she finally opened her eyes to reality, greeted
by two pairs of large, concerned dragon eyes.
