As the night grew darker, Dragon Master felt the weight of exhaustion settling upon him like a heavy cloak. His muscles burned with every movement, his breaths came in ragged gasps, yet he knew he couldn't relent. The beast, fueled by some unknown power, seemed to draw strength from the darkness itself, its roars echoing through the night, a chilling reminder of the peril they faced.

With determination etched upon his face, Dragon Master pressed on, each strike of his sword a testament to his unwavering resolve. But with each passing moment, the beast seemed to grow stronger, its attacks more ferocious, its movements more agile.

Beside him, his faithful dragon lay battered and bruised, its once majestic form now reduced to a mere shadow of its former self. Dragon Master's heart clenched with worry and anguish, but he knew he couldn't afford to falter. His dragon had stood by him through countless battles, and now it was his turn to fight for both of them.

Despite the overwhelming odds, Dragon Master refused to surrender. With a primal roar, he unleashed the full extent of his power, channeling every ounce of strength he possessed into a single, devastating blow.

But even as the beast staggered under the force of his attack, Dragon Master knew that victory was still far from assured. The night was long, and their enemy was relentless. Yet he also knew that as long as he drew breath, he would never give up the fight.

With renewed determination, Dragon Master squared his shoulders and prepared to face whatever challenges lay ahead. For he was not just a warrior, but a guardian, sworn to protect the human world and its people from any threat, no matter how dire. And with that thought burning brightly in his heart, he charged back into the fray, ready to face whatever the night may bring.

As Dragon Master fought on, the memory of Parth's sacrifice weighed heavily on his mind. He now believed that Parth's sacrifice had been in vain, pushing him to become even more determined to kill Aayan. However, he was unsure how to achieve this, as breaking the blessing of the Mitrandei seemed impossible without Aayan's conscious cooperation. With Aayan unconscious and the beast in control of his body, Dragon Master knew he had to find a way to break the blessing.

As Dragon Master closed in to strike at the beast, he shouted into Aayan's ear, "Wake up, Aayan!" His voice was a desperate plea, hoping against hope that his words would somehow penetrate the darkness that enveloped Aayan's consciousness. He knew that the key to defeating the beast lay in Aayan's awakening, in breaking the hold of the Mitrandei's blessing that bound him. With each shout, Dragon Master prayed for a miracle, for a sign that Aayan was still there, somewhere deep inside, fighting to regain control.

Despite his repeated attempts, Dragon Master's cries seemed to fall on deaf ears. Frustration gnawed at his heart, but he refused to give up. With grim determination, he mounted the beast's neck, driving his sword deep into its flesh. As he did so, he shouted with all his might, "Remember your mother, her sacrifice! Wake up, Aayan!"

His voice echoed across the battlefield, a desperate plea to stir Aayan's slumbering consciousness. He hoped that by invoking memories of Aayan's past, of the love and sacrifices that had shaped him, he could break through the darkness that held him captive.

But as the moments passed, Dragon Master feared that his efforts were in vain. The beast thrashed beneath him, its roars of pain and fury drowning out his words. Yet still, he clung to hope, refusing to let despair claim him.

As Dragon Master's words pierced through the beast's ear, they transcended into the deep recesses of Aayan's subconscious. In that hidden realm, Aayan found himself resting his head on his mother's lap, feeling her gentle caress as she comforted him.

The echo of Dragon Master's plea broke the silence of this inner world, causing Aayan to stir from his slumber. Confusion clouded his mind as he awakened, finding himself once again in the realm of his subconscious, unaware that he was not in the real world.
