Prime had long sought something like this, a rebirth, a seperation from his father the adept and his origin plane of the celestials. It was only secretly, through Bahamut, that he had learned of this place. Deep in the mountains, where the ancient and secret Ryuoni Clan hid itself, taking in all forms of secret arts. They had taken magic, and made it none verbal. Great strength, and made it silent. Seperation, into wholeness and strength. They offered a completely new life, devorced from your past. As the rebirth took all of your memory away from you, bathed you in the fires of dragons, and made you as new. An entirely new being looking at the world. They permitted one person, one friend to tell you as much as they knew about your past after the rebirth, but that was all they allowed. Besides the naming, it was that friend that was to give you a name, something dear to you from your past. Maybe a nickname or a callsign, or even an object held dear.
Raki didn't mind, it detatched him from the isolation he so hated. Trained him to blend in with the world. As the name Prime had made him feel true, so did this fusion, this bondage. He had invited Cooper to the ceremony, though he couldn't see him at the moment. He stood at the heart of a great chamber, completely naked, beside a giant golden dragon's egg. Hiarus, the golden dragon queen, had chosen him as the Betrothed to her son. This was the dragon chosen for him, and he'd been told it was a very are honor to be bound with a gold. Those mightiest dragon's who made magic they're core more than any other dragon or any other element. But it came at a price, he was told. For is he ever completely released his form, he would remain and adult, golden dragon forever. Still, Raki had accepted that. He'd placed everything behind him, said his goodbyes to his mother and father, or, at least, mailed letters.
The others around him began chanting, making hand signs and muttering the sign under they're breath, so as to stay focused.
Tora, Tora, Tori, Ryu, Hebi, Ryu, Inu, Saru, Uma, Usagi!
Lines of force formed around Raki and the egg. The glowed briefly in color, red, blue, azure, all along the rainbow, different for each line, before that all changed and combined, and turned to white. The formed a line connecting Raki's body to the golden dragon's egg, and slowly a doorway opened in the side of the egg. Raki's body was beyond his own control now. It stepped into the egg of its own accord, and a blinding light fused the two bodies together. The doorway closed behind him, and suddenly all the light in the room faded away.
One of the clans Shinobi stepped forwards, and cried outwards to the room at large. "If there is a companion to this brave man, let him step forwards and bear this child on his back. Our Shinobi will guide you to a sanctuary, where you may await the birth of the warrior. Take care to be swift, this egg will hatch quickly!"
