A reflection of our world, with its own Divine Dragon, a world that, unlike ours, fell in battle alongside Sombron.

This world was devoid of life, save for two fallen dragons. The other inhabitants were merely the dead, resembling those we once knew.

With a final glimmer of hope, they summoned another Divine Dragon through a ritual. Our Alear ended up in this decaying world.

Nel and Nil, two fallen dragons, had brought him to do something for their world. This world had its own emblems, but instead of sharing them with Marth or Lyn, it possessed its own, like Tiki or Hector. Instead of rings, they wore bracelets.

Familiar faces were present in this world. Enemies were allies, and allies were enemies. Someone like Alcryst was more aggressive and dominant than his brother Diamant in this world.

And more examples like this followed. Everyone you once knew was practically an opposite. This led you to wonder if any If you had existed in this world, it would surely have been the opposite of you.

Nil eventually revealed his true intentions; he wasn't even Nel's brother. If he was capable of using his draconic form, he went so far as to kidnap Alear and use the crests to acquire a form similar to Sombron's.

His defeat led to Nel's death. Deep down, he was still Nel's brother. Alear gave him the information that their mother, Lumera, had managed to keep him alive during his slumber by giving him her power and energy.

That's what Rafal did. He spent 1,000 years in that world, slowly revitalizing Nel so she could return. Together, they reconsidered Alear's invitation to leave that dead world and go with them.

Getting used to a living world was strange for both of them. Being dragons, they hadn't aged. In Rafal's words, the time he spent trying to bring Nel back was nothing.

Nel didn't seem really changed or affected either. In fact, she seemed to enjoy it. She was somewhat protective; in her own words, she wanted to keep... She saved her "little ones"

One night, you went out to the Somniel dining room. It was rather late, and you didn't want to turn on the light. You grabbed what you were looking for, and when you'd finished your task, a pair of deep, red eyes were behind you.

She stared at you intently, possibly remembering the "You" from her world, finally able to say something. "Good evening, little one...yes, yes, I know you don't like me calling you that. What are you doing here so late?"

Nel had no trouble moving in the dark; she had night vision, or at least that's what she implied. "You're not leaving until you tell me." That's when she dragged you to a table and made you sit down.

"Nothing will happen if you tell the truth. I just want to know what a little one is doing awake at this hour." Even though it was dark, you could see what seemed to be a smile from her, not a mockery or malice.
