Raphael returned to his room to find Lillian still slumped across their bed naked. She was fast asleep, unaware that he had ever even left in the first place.

He sat on his bed in a cross-legged position and spoke to both of the dragons that resided in his body.
Rachael, Naomi. I wish to meet you.
His vision began to fade like it had a few times before, as his consciousness was taken from his body and brought to the realm of the Dragons.

The cloud realm appeared before him, the ethereal space still managing to catch his breath each time.
Raphael looked around to find that the design of the space had changed. Rather than the realm just being an eternal space of clouds, there now stood a giant palace at its centre.
