Darian was rushed to the room where Niara was in seconds.
When he entered, he saw that the violet dragon was lying on the bed, breathing so faintly it really looked like she was about to die. Beside the bed were several crystals giving off intense life energy.
"I tried everything! But she's rejecting the external life energy! If this keeps up, she's going to die!" Painita said hurriedly, "Morion said she reacted when you talked to her. Tell her to accept the external energy, quick!"
Darian heard that and sighed. Then he walked to the bed and examined her calmly.
In seconds, everything became clear. Niara had absorbed all the life energy from her body into her draconic core, and she was now burning it all for power. In a few days, it would be over.
