Surviving meant two things, winning and revenge and Adrian knew. He didn't hesitate for a second.“I accept the contract. I'll bond with you,” he forced himself back up and looked the dragon in the eye.What happened next was something no mortal had ever experienced in recorded history. The dragon's gaze locked on him and extended it's consciousness into Adrian's mind.
