Coars stares at the crystal embedded there, eyes wide, "I'm dead, aren't I? Yeah, that has to be it. I'm dead, I got killed by this crystal and now I'm freaking dead. Great, killed trying to protect my job and probably forgotten by the time the news rolls around."
He looks to the dragon there, then shrugs and heads over, "Why not? Why not go up to the dragon?"

"You are not dead," it says, regarding him with an appraising turn of its head, "Though one of another lineage wouldn't be so fortunate."
He pauses as he stares at the dragon now, looking down at his chest once more. After a few moments, he looks back up to the dragon, "Ok, so yeah, that is actually quite, terrifying to find out I'm only alive because of who my folks were. So, I'll stop talking, you'll likely explain and I'll try not to interrupt?"
"You, dear Coars, are a direct descendant of the Dragon God himself. That's me by the way. Alright, my father, but you get the point. You live because your blood allowed you to absorb some of the Godstone's power."
He slowly rubs his head, "I'm a Dragon is what you're saying. I'm alive because of you. Well, at the very least I can thank you for making sure I'm not dead that way. Though, you have more important stuff to tell me than that, don't you?"
"You are not a dragon. Not entirely. Not... yet. However my blood is part of you and, with the shard within you, so what remains of me and my father's power."
It, he, sighed sadly.
"It is now, due to this twist of fate, up to you to stop the goddess Verdandi's misguided plans from bearing their true fruit. By destroying the the Stone, she has set that which we stalled in motion... without we gods to fight beside mortals. It... appears that in a way the Dark One was right. Only an army of those touched by the very wild magic he attempted to corrupt can stop the coming of the Jotuns and keep this world alive."
During the statement, Coars received images of the world freezing and giants from beyond this plane laying waste to everything in sight.

Coars stares at him after receiving the images. He slowly gulps as he twitches, then looks down again at the shard before looking up at him again. He breathes in slowly as he formulates what he wants to say, then ahems as he decides to say it.
"Magic is real, that one that destroyed the stone is an actual magical goddess though I imagine weakened, and now if I don't get an army up and running, Ragnarock is around the corner and the world will be a frozen wasteland for anything but the Ice Giants. You know, I'm starting to see why when some say 'May you live in interesting times' can be considered a curse. This is really really scary as well as interesting."
He looks down, "How do I do it? I don't know magic or how to, help others get it."
He glances up at the dragon again, wondering.

"I can grant unto you the fires of life with which to awaken that which lies dormant in those descended from magic. Their power will be diluted and unpredictable, but still strong. However you and they both will be required to sacrifice their humanity, in form and sometimes in thought."
"Will you do this to save your world?"

Coars holds his head silently as he listens, thinking about it, "..It's terrifying, knowing that you may be the only way and reason for anyone to survive a coming winter that'll freeze the world. It's terrifying thinking on people relying on you that much, the world relying on you that much."
He looks up at him, steel in his eyes once more, "It's far more terrifying of thinking of all the things I'll lose if I don't do this. So, what do I need to do?"

"Breath," it said before breathing strange, shimmering golden flames over Coars. The fire flows into Coars' open mouth, not burning him but filling him with invigorating spiritual warmth.
The dragon was gone.
"Farewell... and good luck my son," it's voice said, fading away as if forever.

Coars blinks, breathing as he feels the flames pushing in, eyes closed as he hears that voice.
He winced as it felt so final. Giving himself over like that, had to be something he'd never done before.
"I'll, try and make this all work."
Coars was dedicated and ready to go for it. He didn't feel he wasn't afraid, but he did feel like he could face it now.
