The Slumbering One II

Ashe Iremith

The Elder-Breed Ouroboros Dragon that was the younger sister of the Ouroboros of Water and Lightning who just saved Evan's group in Duscon mere minutes ago.

That was the identity of the entity that slumbered within the Salcana Mountain and gave rise to the rumours and legends about it.

And the demonic hand had just succeeded in keeping her asleep.

Emphasis is to be placed on 'keeping'.

The Demonic Hand were not the ones who put Ashe to sleep, she had done so of her own accord.

What they had done was simply to deepen this slumber, and made it a lot, lot harder for her to wake up.

Ashe was one of the beings who fought in the war a thousand years ago along with the previous Dragon Lord, Gorm; and her siblings, and she had lived for over a thousand years before that had happened.

The over two-thousand-year Ouroboros had basically seen all there was to see on Aidos and had grown bored and tired.
