That night when Rhea'li had revealed to Dionysos all that had lead to the Final Days, he had also offered his memories while they are in Nippon. Between their Echo and the skills to dreamwalk through their bond using the local magic, it was not difficult to show each other their lived experiences. It's much more intimate than what Rhea'li would usually tolerate -- there's still much that he keeps close to his chest, even amongst his boon friends -- but it's strangely easy to be more open with Dionysos, especially now that the secret is out of the bag.

Rhea'li may have also been using these memory walking sessions to get a second opinion on his cooking.

And if sometimes they got a bit handsy with each other afterwards, well, he's certainly not complaining.

This time, they would be walking in Rhea'li's memory of Ultima Thule. If he honest about it, Ultima Thule regularly weighed on his thoughts ever since he left it, so close to death that he genuinely hasn't been certain that he had not passed into the Lifestream when he regained consciousness. There was something hauntingly captivating about the place, a morbidly fascinating series of cautionary tales.

And now he is showing Dionysos it.

When they enter his memory, they begin at the charred remains of the Dragonstar. The dragons' beautiful mountain, blackened from the Omicron's attacks, all vegetation burnt to a crisp. The lake looks polluted, unfit for consumption. And in the distance, shades of dragons lay on the ground, wasting away as they awaited their end.

Turning to Dionysos, Rhea'li says, "This is Ultima Thule, where we chased Meteion to. It's entirely made of dynamis that she shaped into partial recreations of stars visited by the collective Meteia." He cocks his head to the side. "This area is the star that dragons like bahamut came from. It fell into despair when another space faring race waged war upon them, but one dragon was able to flee with a clutch of eggs to Etheirys and start life anew."

Azem's adventures through Rhea'li's memories have been nothing short of exciting. So many new locations, things they would never see back on their Etheirys.

This memory, however, saddens them. To see a world so ravaged by war and the inhabitants left behind in desolation. They wish they could do something to help but this is like a memory within a memory. A world that is long gone, but there's something about that bugs them.

"For creations that have found no point in life they sure do seem to cling to the worlds they visited. Letting them live on in a memory." It's strange.
