Watching Dragon pop up like she had only been napping, and jaunt off with Jaa, Taran tried not to cry. His eyes welled up. Not only had he helped save the life of the last blue Dragon, but it seemed that one of the precious few Ice Gwees would live after all. Or, at least, he assumed that was what Dragon was trying to do. Looking over at Tuli, he smiled. Tuli sighed, and actually sat down. From what Taran had learned of them, Tuli had practically adopted Jaa as a sibling when the Blue Dragon homeworld was destroyed and she was on a mission for her family on Gaia. Tuli had been very quiet since Jaa thought out to him and Taran her acceptance of his plan. She knew she had almost no chance of survival.

Back in the hall of the spaceship, Dragon clutched the ice gwee tightly, dropping her core. The small lump of ice in Jaa's chest began to frost. Moisture gathered within her, and from Dragon. Slowly but surely the magical core of the gwee began to reform. As soon as she regained consciousness, though still far from being able to move, Jaa's mind searched around her, surprised to find herself living.

'You... are healed?' Jaa thought to the mind of Dragon. 'You are well again, and we are not both in the blue paradise, I hope?' Jaa's thoughts seemed curious and wary. She did not expect to be living, but she did not expect extreme cold after death.
