Chapter 488: Taming a dragon(sorta)

'Mistakes have been made!' Nick thought as the dragon went from casually trying to murder him to wanting to obliterate him after his attack landed. Dragons were wrathful creatures to begin with so it came as no surprise to Nick that this one was absolutely LIVID at the moment. If it wasn't for his advantage in speed he might really be in trouble as the beast was quite literally snapping at his heels as it tried to kill him. One thing Nick had noticed however was that the beast was also careful not to strike the crystal structure in the center of the lake whenever they got close to it despite it's anger.-

Nick noticed this and took advantage of it to constantly pelt the dragons exposed flesh with knockout charms that were starting to take hold of it. Nick had to admit that if this was a normal dragon he would have likely long since had restrained it but this one was stupidly sturdy and resistant to spells. Nearly thirty full power knockout spells straight into it's body and all that had accomplished was to make the creature a little drowsy but still going strong.-The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

The final result was that the mind and soul of the dwemer was subsumed by the dragons instead of the other way around while all the dwemers power still went to the newborn beast. Nick sighed at this while creating false memories in the beasts mind to make it think that it has known him for many many years and this was merely one of their spars for supremacy and not a fight to the death. Fights between dragons for supremacy rarely actually ended in death since there was no one to rule over if you kill all of them.-

It was a bit like the hierarchy system of a pride of lions except the the younger dragons weren't killed off challenging their hoards alphas. Nick left the beasts mind and waited vigilantly as it's mind adjusted to his tampering. There was a few ways this could go truthfully with some being positive and the others being not so positive. Thankfully the memories were accepted since they didn't clash too heavily with the beasts instincts and true memories. The dragons gaze changed from hostility to a sort of fond irritation at its "loss" from the "spar".-

The only reason Nick was even able to make such a change was that thanks to the dwemers memories and soul the dragon technically understood speech. Thus Nick had a way to communicate with it in reality as it would clash far too much if the dragon only understood body language and roars yet had memories of "conversing" with him. This was a unique situation that would only work in this particular scenario alone and Nick was very much aware of it.
