Jel-Vered's Memory of a Past Life

I seemed to have been forced from my meditative state after our last encounter on the Stone Bridge, while the rest of the party slept.  I "awoke" in a dark place, with the sounds of battle everywhere.  Jel Vered, I was not, rather I was Jel Vellic, a past incarnation of my Deva heritage.  Jel Vellic being a strong, experienced warrior, yet oddly bearing the Mark of Thuulak.  I, as Jel Vellic, led an army, seeking to gain entrance to a city.  I felt a strong compulsion to fight this battle, as Jel Vellic, and did so.  The enemy was vanquished, and I gained entrance to this city through a large storm drain.

After entering the city, I was again Jel Vered.  The city was bleak and foggy, even the people seemed as fog or ghosts.  I came upon a bench, where a small boy was.  He was holding a stick and a crystal and was crying.  I spoke to the boy and determined he was looking for his mother.  We searched together and found his mother in a shop, she was being beaten.  We entered the shop and the attackers dispersed, but we found the mother to be dead.  The boy begged that we take her to a temple to be resurrected.  So I followed the boy to a temple, or so I thought, it was more of a large tower in the center of the city.

As I approached, the corpse I held, turned to simply bones.

When I entered the tower I found the boy in a garden, I no longer held the bones, they were now quite alive and fleshed and with the boy.  In the tower was an old man.  He seemed familiar.  The boy gave him the stick and the crystal, of which he made them into a wand.

With the wand the old man set fire to everything in the town, save the tower, reducing all to waste.  He then entered the tower.  I followed him into the tower, which simply held a large spiral staircase.  The walls of the tower were mirrored.  In those mirrors I saw reflections, reflections of all my past lives. 

When I reached the top of the tower, a room with a large compass etched in the floor, I found the old man, who I now realized was me in a former life, Jel Vellic.  He was angry.  He had destroyed the town in hopes of finding the answer of removing the Mark of Thuulak in the basement of the tower, however the tower has no basement.  He told me I was in the Citadel of Thay and told me to look to the east.

That is when I saw it.  A Gold Dragon, flying towards us.
