Wow, and me who thought all along that he was way more powerful than that. It's like Endymion is an alpha vs. his peers while Fahrook is just an omega vs. the other dragons, while both inhabiting the same body. I do not know if that possible, but Fahrook should let Endymion deal with the other dragons instead of him. Me think that that would increase his charisma and weight among the dragons. Right now, Fahrook just looks like a looser... If Endymion aware of that discussion, he must be boiling in rage right now.

One question though; If the dragon cannot leave Kaerwyn without taking or more apropos steeling the body of a mortal using their soul extraction technique, why was Endymion whose body is also inhabited by Fahrook could go on other worlds? Same with Niixa and Lorelei?

Also, and that is probably part of the above question, if we understand the previous explanation, in order to occupy a mortal body, a dragon has to perform a soul extraction of said mortal from his body and put it in a glowing ball or orb. Then why both Endymion and Fahrook are able to occupy the same body?

Finally, what does happen to those extracted souls that are put in those glowing orbs?

I do have a bunch of other questions but I think I will limit myself with those as to not monopolize your time as I'm sure that I'm not the only one asking questions.

Endy's soul *is* Fahrook. They're two aspects of one being, the situation dragons want to avoid by using hollowed out mortal husks as 'vehicles'. They have no true physical bodies, they exist only as souls, if you like. So reincarnation happens when another plane creates a new 'lifetime' for them, housed in a new body and everything that entails.

Sisari has got where she is through politics and manipulation, rather than strength. Otherwise the dragons would declaring war on each other, which here they haven't done. Yet. This is where Fahrook's personal grudge against Sisari that's been demonstrated much earlier in a previous issue.

As for what happens to those extracted souls, we may be about to learn by reading between the lines.

Also, Fahrook isn't 'weak' or a 'loser'. He has a conscience and is being morally 'blackmailed', and everyone can see it. If anything he's stronger than he looks, since the others think Aisha is blackmailing him from the OTHER side.

OK, I think I will have to also add this one since it will probably be part of your answer. What is the difference between soul extraction and reincarnation? To me, the way it's explained in the story is somewhat convoluted. Is Endymion the result of the old ways of reincarnation where the soul of a dragon is reincarnated at random in a living being and that Fahrook was just reincarnated by random chance alone in Endymion body as opposed to soul extraction where the dragon takes total control of the mortal shell he chooses? Is that why Sisary seemed more powerful than Fahrook because she used the soul extraction for her mortal body?

We can assume so far that reincarnation is normally random, and that when the three Dreakons at the centre of it all fled Sisari's clutches, randomness would have to remain so that they couldn't be easily traced. But given how much their present mortal incarnations reflect how they project themselves here when not in dragon guise, some degree of control must have been present in the process; that, and we know other 'gods' - Yanta, in particular - were involved.

OK, this raises a bunch of other questions.

1: Do you have a direct connection to this story authors?

2: So, if I understand what you are suggesting, Fahrook at the end of his last husk or mortal body death got reincarnated as Endymion but not as randomly as it should have been but still got reincarnated instead of having been engendered through soul extraction. That is why his mortal side does not have a direct link with his dragon soul as shown when they had to communicate through arranged letters in a book. In other words, while being the same individual, his mortal side cannot directly access its soul pass life. As for those who are engendered through soul extraction, the dragon soul is in totally in control of the body as shown in Sisari so that what we see like looking or talking to her, is the dragon itself behind a stolen facade having access to his entire memories.

3: So dragons are just soul spirit that can only exist outside of a mortal body on Kaerwyn a planet which had been created by the dragons themselves. Everywhere else in the multiverse they have to be bound to a mortal body.

4: All of this imply that before the soul extraction process, there were mortal creatures throughout the multiverse within which a few were in reality, reincarnated dragons. Those individuals had the ability to use magic, well, something perceived as such by the other mortal.

5: Are gods like Yanta more powerful than dragons so that in the order of things are above dragons, or they are just a special form of soul on par with dragon living in a spacial dimension all their own? My understanding is that dragons can create worlds, meaning that they are gods in their own right.

OK, my head hurts. ;-P

Much of what is established about the Kaerwyn dragons and how they operate is happening now in the present story arc. But there have been glimpses before in previous chapters, along with other snippets of backstory. Yanta has featured more prominently before along with Rolatudan, two of the gods of Errux, Niixa and Neek's homeworld. Niixa has also had to face and relate her own backstory and personal demons before, there has been a whole chapter devoted to that.

Everything you want to know to set your brain straight can be found reading through the archives on the comic's main site. But this is where we first saw Fahrook.

Oh, and Endy gets slapped, like a LOT.

Yea, I have read this very interesting story from the beginning. However I must admit that I don't have such a good memory for the very small granular stuff like you seem to possess. On the other hand, I have also read that other interesting, and as of yet, unfinished offshoot called "The Black tapestry" where the author told me that it was put on hold because of some basic incompatibility with this story. Now looking back at that answer, I'm now starting to think that it was not incompatibility that was the problem, but more likely that the amount of information that was about to be revealed by that story, was going to undercut this one. In hindsight, me think that it was put on hold so that this one could be allowed to catch up.

In "The black tapestry" there is no knowledge of the dragons since no one seems to be aware of them, even though it's taking place in the future. That is where Lorelei was abducted by the dragons, herself probably being one. In that other story which belongs to this same multiverse, instead of dragons being depicted as the source of magical power, the humans think that it's caused by demons linked to the soul of those who can wield magic. But as far as we know, demons could just be a different interpretation given by humans of dragons which they have never met. BTW, dragons are immaterial eternal soul that control magic just like Yanta and Rolatudan... Could it be that these two are just another manifestation of dragons? After all, Endymion when he was possessed by that Murako, the god of destruction, even using all of his power, he was unable to destroy Gruff.

I wonder what Kyessia was inferring to when "she/it" said, "You've no idea how close you were to stopping Sisari." One thing which I'm not sure I understand is that when Sisari soul was almost teared apart on the physical plane, would she have just vanished to never return or just got reincarnated somewhere in the multiverse? And we are back to the nagging question... Was Fahrook/Endymion created out of soul extraction or reincarnation? After all, we've just learned that he was put in charge of that soul extraction process, trying to find alternative ways, so that he probably was the result of this infamous soul extraction, or maybe it was just a way to muzzle and debase him showing his very low status by forcing him into doing something he despises.

There is also still this question I previously asked. What is the end result difference between soul extraction and reincarnation for a dragon? Also, same question for the mortal who is involved in that process. We know that soul extraction just banish the mortal soul into existence in a small orb. For how long, we don't know. As for reincarnation, is there a mortal soul involved or just a dragon being reborn in a new mortal body without the involvement of a mortal soul.

Finally, the story seems to make clear that when a dragon uses soul extraction in order to move out into the material realm they retain all their essence and the full knowledge of who they are. Is it the same for reincarnation?

Question, question, question...

I guess we'll have to wait for a few more chapters before we get some answers, or it might just be the case that again, I'm not remembering some small inconspicuous important piece of the puzzle.
