She feels a familiar tug and sighs, burrowing into her grandfather's arms. "I'm about to leave."

He holds her more tightly, but she already feels the sense of pressure receding. "I know," he admits. "I'm losing my grip on what lets me keep you here. Stay safe, Kakara. You're going to do great things." He releases Kakara and steps back. Then his eyes shift down to Dazarel. "And, dragon." His eyes narrow. "You will be one of the people who helps her. If you don't, I will know, and no power in the universe will be enough to keep you safe from me."

A feeling of unimaginable power hits her senses as something shifts in Gohan's stance. Unconsciously, she straightens her back and lifts her chin.

Dazarel cringes, but bows his head as best as he can around her fist. 'As you command, Most Divine,' he says, avoiding eye contact.

Then Grandpa looks at Kakara again and smiles. "I'll see you the next time you pass this way," he says.

She smiles back. "See you."

And then the hold on this place snaps, and a wall of divine will forces her back and out.

As Kakara streaks through the spaces between the real, Dazarel shifts in her grasp. 'Please let me perch somewhere. This is incredibly uncomfortable.'

Kakara lifts him up, considering. "...maybe. First tell me what all that business about, 'Most Divine,' was."

'Please let me perch first,' he says. 'You're holding me by my neck.'

She scoffs. "You speak with telepathy. But fine. Since you asked."

Kakara loosens her grip and lets him twist around to scamper up her arm to her shoulders. He settles in, braced against the acceleration. 'You realize that your ancestor is a god, yes? No half-measures, nothing so prosaic as a mere mortal with access to divine ki -- he's a god, in truth.'

"Not really," she says, as the fuzziness around her gives way to proper existence. "We don't have a great theory of divinity on Garenhuld. I mean, I buy it, what with that thing he was doing while we were leaving, but I don't know what it means."

'It means that there's more to his power than mere ki,' he snorts. 'More than magic, more even than my psychic abilities. Something unique to gods.'

"So what were you talking about with all that, 'Most Divine,' stuff?" Kakara asks.

He sighs. 'If I respect something, it is strength.’ He sticks forward his head and fixes her with a beady eye. 'And what could be more threatening to a dragon than the God of Heroes?'

Before she can respond to that, the galaxy looms suddenly ahead of her, and she streaks past dozens of stars before nearing one and rushing towards a planet.
