Chapter 45: Dragon’s Draconite
Inside the inhospitable forest...
[Does this mean I won’t be able to shift back to my human form unless my spirit returns?] Ezekiel asked her.
[Yes, so we need to look for your wandering spirit,] Tarah answered as she walked and searched the forest while the dragon followed her from behind.
Tarah sighed at her current situation. Until now, she was still fascinated with how well she could communicate with both Ezekiel and Vulcan through telepathy. She had successfully performed the dragon bond, but apparently, Ezekiel and Vulcan’s souls were still at a tug of war on who would take full control of their shared body.
It made for a funny situation at least. A while ago, it was Vulcan cursing her, and now it was Ezekiel asking her questions. She wouldn’t be surprised if the dragon would suddenly speak to her out of the blue. Ezekiel’s flickering eye colors would clue her in back then, but now it was his and Vulcan’s voice shifting inside her head every now and then.
[You’ll never find his spirit,] Vulcan spoke to her again. [If I were you, I’d try making a deal with me, and I might consider not killing you once I take full control of his body.]
Tarah stopped walking and annoyingly turned around to face the dragon with a frown. She just knew she wouldn’t be able to concentrate if these two souls refused to stop contacting her.
"I’m your dragonrider, so nothing you say will make sense to me, Vulcan," she stated with narrowed eyes.
[You’re forgetting how I can wipe out all of your kind so easily,] Vulcan bellowed.
