lightdutiesThat 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."

Mayhaps if Azem were their normal size, Omega would not seem very large. But since Omega had been large compared to Rhea'li, so too is it larger than both Rhea'li and Azem in this dreamscape.
"In our language, its name is Omega."
And like the real thing, this constructed Omega does not make the first move; like all the other Omicron he's encountered, it is completely confident in its superiority even as it wished to dismantle him to analyse his source of strength.

They don't focus too long on that as their gaze turns to this Omega. "My! They're a big one, aren't they?"
Azem slowly approaches Omega, looking up at the hulking machine. "Are you more talkative than the scouts?"
