Right now, your existence here is unsteady. You are someone he knows and likes within his heart, but with the corruption devouring important aspects of himself, without something to solidify you, there is the chance that you could disappear.
Like what you call the 'gray plague' within Tokyo-F.
Kija would never wish for that for his friends. So I think that by drawing upon his feelings and perception of you, we can bestow an image upon you that will help ground you in this place-- allowing you to access power and strength, no matter what form it takes.
[ And as he does, within the air, suddenly eight different balls of light appear, glowing brightly. They emanate warmth and security, like a blanket on a cold night. Gently they spin around you before one, in particular, settles in front of you. The ORANGE light. ]
I see. While this is not the power of a dragon, I have no doubt without the heart behind this light, he would not still be alive.
[ The light hovers for a moment, before gently sinking into your chest. The moment that it does tingling warmth envelopes you, and something bursts from your heart. A mini bomb…? You realize that you can always materialize one at a time as desired. And there’s something more-- you instinctually realize you have some special abilities.
- Mini bombs (+2 Agl) - Special Blend - Raise one person's stat +2 for the duration of that turn - Protective Fog - Hide one party member from attack for one turn. Can be used once every 3 turns. ]
I would say that while you are here, exploring separately is fine, but when it comes to the attack... you will likely want to be among friends.
My suggestion to you is to consider the types of things he cherishes, even despite the current deterioration of his heart. Right now, the corruption inside this place is desperately seeking his true heart. If it finds him, it will be that much more difficult to destroy when it attacks. The best result would be that you find him before it does. And for you to fix or make positive changes and decisions while searching along the way.
This is still his heart though-- you should take care while inside it. No matter where you are, once the corruption breaks through our barriers it will attack you and your companions who have found themselves here. It would probably be best to fight it in a location that will not destroy things of importance to him.
I wish that I knew. I am sure it is somewhere that he considers important. Somewhere he would feel safe.
[ A man approaches to speak to him briefly, and-- ]
I need to return to strengthening our defenses and holding back the corruption. I pray that you will be able to find my- To find Kija’s heart. And will be able to rid this place of the rot that has invaded. There is little time for me to linger.
Remain safe. He would be upset if something happened to you.
[ He lifts a hand, and like a switch he disappears. At the same time the fog rolls away from the area, revealing yourself to be within a village. And you are no longer alone- other possible familiar faces from within Imeeji may be there, too. ]

Re: STONE DRAGON STATUE
[Oh shit!]
Can we stop it? I'll do whatever I can to help Leviathan. [Listen, threat to his own life just happens, gotta help ally dragon boy!]

Re: STONE DRAGON STATUE
I mean, being steady sound important, especially if I'm gonna help Leviathan. Whatever I have to do, let's do this.
[Even if having to be something that relies on people's perception of him is lowkey terrifying, its better then just vanishing????]

Re: STONE DRAGON STATUE
[Clearly he needs to talk with Levi about dragons more, that's like his thing.]
[Oh]
[Yeah, okay, this tracks for preferred fighting style.]
So better to be running with someone else, huh?

Re: STONE DRAGON STATUE
With everything else, that means we're in Leviathan's...soul, right?
Re: STONE DRAGON STATUE
Re: STONE DRAGON STATUE
Right. So, find true heart, make positive changes or at least don't mess it up, and find a good battle ground.
Should be simple enough.
[Mental screeing, but he will. Deal.] Any clues how to find the True Heart or where to go?
