He's one of mine, a descendant of the first.
The Source Dragon of Life to the Source Dragon of Strength
The Source Dragon of Life is one of the seven Source Dragons and the source of the Elements Energy and Nature.[1]
History
Background
The Source Dragon of Life, among the seven Source Dragons, played a crucial role in maintaining balance across the realms. Each Source Dragon represented a unique source,[3] with the Source Dragon of Life specifically embodying life. As a result, the emergence of Elemental Powers was influenced by the Source Dragons.[4] On a fateful day, the First Spinjitzu Master approached the Source Dragon of Life, along with their fellow dragons, and humbly implored them to willingly contribute their dragon power. This request was made in order to create the Dragon Cores, which were instrumental in averting the Coalescence,[5] an imminent event wherein all realms would merge into a single world, a consequence brought about by the immense power of the Source Dragons.[6]
Beyond the Phantasm Cave
The Source Dragon of Life and the others appeared before Lloyd by summoning him to their void. The Source Dragon of Strength inquired about Lloyd's connection to an Element and which dragon claimed him, while the Source Dragon of Life declared Lloyd as one of their own and a descendant of the First Spinjitzu Master. The Source Dragon of Energy reflected on Lloyd's role as a conduit for his life force, while the Source Dragon of Life pondered the potential consequences of a mortal being directly exposed. But the Source Dragon of Energy stressed Lloyd's uniqueness and requested aid, despite the Source Dragons typically remaining neutral in mortal matters.
