Since we know he is faking it we won't get caught up in his charm or venom this time either.

Grrr stop being so stubborn; I know he means well though the bond, his darker inner beast is nearly completely asleep. If he were to bite us one or two more times it would be completely eradicated.

Doubt fills my being and I shake my head at her. All it took was a little begging and some food to win you over?

He hasn't won me over, I just want one last enemy after me. If we can get his humanity completely to the forefront I'm sure we can convince him to let us live in peace, maybe even keep us safe for the rest of our days... and you're getting in the way of that...be gone pest.

My body becomes impossibly heavy and I'm dragged into my subconscious mind; cast into a pitch black void that goes on forever.

A small light illuminates my surroundings a moment later and I make out I'm in an underground cavern; a massive door with foreign markings carved into resides in the cavern wall several yards from me.

Purple-reddish flames flicker underneath the massive ancient oak door; the magenta inferno swirls violently around my entire body and yanks me off my feet towards the looming door.

The door swings open with a long hollow eeRRR; a long flaming magenta dragon slinks through the door. I hover a yard in front of the door as the large flaming mass approaches, the sound of flames clicking fills the cavern as a blistering but comforting wave of heat settles over me.

Ferocity approaches with a devious smile, black flames flicker where her teeth should be. She stops in front of me and towers over me; way bigger than the tallest wolves I've seen.

"Now you get to see what it's like to be a prisoner in your own mind" she purrs; flicks her tail over her back and continues forward into a distant white light.

When her figure fades a flash of blinding white light erupts; the purple inferno swirls erratically, dragging me backwards through the oak door as break neck speed, relinquishing its hold two feet above Ferocity's half sphere dirt and rock nest.

I land on my shoulders hard, rolling read over heals to the center of the dugout nest. I lay on my back looking up at the churning whirlpool on the cavern ceiling.

EEEeeerrrrrrrrrrrccccccc!

I roll onto my hands and knees; heart pounding at the eerie creep; horror fills my soul as the carvings on the door glow bright gold as it slowly swings inwards.

I leap to my feet, crawling up the smooth rocks that line the den, rolling over the lip of the nest.

I stumble to my feet, clawing dirt with my hands to pull myself up and make a dash for the door closes. "No no no!" I put everything I have into my dash; legs moving painfully slow with each stride like in the worst of nightmares.

Thud! The door closes with a deafening close. I crash into the door, pounding my fists against my new glowing cell. "Let me out!"

I dig my talons into the wood floor as my conscious floods my dragon body; giving a one fanged smirk as I hear Ghost frantic cries from my old prison, flaring my nostrils the scales rise to form tiny scaly spikes on both sides of my snout, mischief ignites in my dual draconic flaming purple orbs and reflect in Qasim's twin green seas.

He flashes his bright fangs with a small smile. "Ferocity you shouldn't steal control from Ghost that will only stresses you both out even further," he scolds gently, placing his fingers behind my jaw, quicker than my eyes could track. Lifting the jaw scales to scratch the sensitive velvety leathery skin below.
