Chapter 422
Dragons in general are inherently proud creatures.
However, despite their inherent nature, they are not entirely unwilling to form pacts with mortals.
This bonding ceremony is known as the Companion Pact.
And unlike the typical companionship pact done by people with magical beasts, forming a pact with a dragon is an entirely different kind of bond altogether.
It usually lasts for 500 years and grants the contract partner a portion of the dragon’s bloodline power while also accelerating the dragon’s own growth rate.
One downside to this however is that during the entirerity of the pact, the dragon’s lifespan is gonna be consumed at double the normal rate.
As a result, most dragons only allowed themselves to enter into these kinds of companion pact during their juvenile or adolescent stages, with the pact ending once they reach adulthood.
Generally speaking, the juvenile and adolescent phases of a dragon’s life is roughly around 150 years.
Yet, if they formed a Companion Pact, then this developmental timeframe can be drastically shortened.
