He was silent now, and obeyed the command.<br/>However, as a repeated offender, the state of his obedience was questionable. Also, Serafima did not really appreciate his somewhat..<span style="font-style: italic">eager</span>expression, after she had 'mistreated' him.<br/>Suppressing an urge to sigh, she took a few moments to think through, what was going to come next. Walking half-a circle around the white haired youngster, she finally arrived infront of him, scruitinizing him from above with her green eyes.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Do I really have to do that ?~</span><br/>Even though he looked so attentive, her gut feeling told her that most of her spoken words had been in vain.<br/>The appearance was human, but to treat him as such - a fallacy!<br/>Treat him as a wolf? That might be too lax. How to raise a puppy-dragon? With who knows how many years of adolescence? Puberty? Mating? A wolf had a way shorter lifespan but way better intelligence. Plus, this baby before her would have a way longer lifespan that herself, and that was if they both started from the same point!<br/><span style="color: #FF4040">"I don’t have time for this.. why couldnt he just have <span style="font-style: italic"> hatched </span> here..."</span>Serafima whispered, slightly annoyed, as she crossed her hands before her chest for a bit, tapping with her foot on the floor slightly.<br/>Re-training them was so much more difficult than training from the puppy stage..!<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Well then, lets do it the briefest way. Rational punishment and discipline. But first...~</span><br/>Still frowning, she tugged the leash closer, while she grabbed his already damaged T-shirt and tearing it away with a slight rip, so that his magical restraints were visible to her.  Slightly bowing forward, while propping him up on his knees without much tenderness, she trailed a finger along the imbued magic.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">~This has been botched. I wonder if they want him to escape - so they can bleed him as an excuse.~</span><br/>Frowning, but silent, the norva inserted her mind power inside the restraints.<br/><br/>Serafima activated her magic power, and cut an index finger on a sharp edge of the metal gear, letting a drop of her blood drench the material.<br/>Whispering an incantation, ancient Norne symbols danced on her fingers, absorbing her blood little by little, they danced for a bit in the surroundings, trying to escape her grasp. But the Norva plucked them with her mental power out of the air, and let them be imprinted on the restraints, overwriting the previous magic limiters with ease.<br/>It was good that nobody could see this, and the extent she had cultivated her Norne blood powers to - because the room was specially prepared for this kind of situations.<br/>It was not powered at all, and isolated with special alloys to prevent any scans of temperature, electromagnetic, radioactive or magic waves. She could not do this extravagance to every room, it would raise suspicion, but as for "dragon safe rooms" she had the excuse to remodel her quarters with this. Apart from the inconveniences the rampage had caused, she might have to say thanks to Snow one day.<br/><br/>But to use her powers in public would be impossible, because the exposure would be too large! More than three quarters of her powers had to be sealed away from prying eyes, or, if somebody came to capture the rumored dragon, she would be in immediate mortal danger.<br/>It was like kidnap one get triple reward situation! A dragon and a norva were priceless enough to get all the powers senselessly drooling...<br/><br/>As for Snows chain restraints, they would leave him with a burning sensation, as the metal got extremely hot and afterwards extremely cold, leaving a small layer of ice where the runes had been on the metal, as they transformed into bloody symbol tattoos of silvery- reddish color.<br/>The restraints of his dragon magic were now under her control, and not of the elders. She smirked evilly.<span style="font-style: italic">~It might come as a nice surprise for them...heh. Ah, and he seems to cope well with the heat and cold differences... maybe I should make him a test subject for inscription runes on live targets?~ </span>her science devil emerged in her thoughts as she watched the dragons reactions, and this time, Serafima nodded in agreement.<br/><br/>She would need to optimize his restraints later - maybe carve his body with runes she had control of. But this would do for now. Shrugging her shoulders, the Blood Hunter took a step back, to view her work.<br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #FF4040">"Now then." </span>she whipped the silver chain across one of the Dragons thighs, to get his attention.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Lets simplify this.~</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #FF4040">"Long story short. You. Behave."</span>she stated, paying attention that the dragon would watch her words -<br/><span style="color: #FF4040">"If I see anything that I am <span style="font-style: italic"> really displeased with </span>-  you will be back in the dark isolation room."</span>Giving his other thigh the same chainy affection, she continued.<br/><span style="color: #FF4040">"If you want rewards or anything like a bond - try to heed my words for a change."</span>Snorting slightly, she continued.<br/><span style="color: #FF4040">"If you're too slow in following my commands - "</span>she did not say anything, just whipped the floor another time. A metallic noise emerged.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF4040">"So, you better not do <span style="font-style: italic"> anything</span> that I haven't approved of." </span>She emphasized.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF4040">"Now stand."</span><br/>If he would not pay attention or was too slow, more chainhwhips would await him.<br/>A pity that she had to use this savage and simple tool, and could not really control her magic through the silver bindings, but If her blood runes would be carved directly on his skin, she would not need a primitive tool like a whip to make him feel pain from disobedience...<br/><span style="font-style: italic">~ Such a good Idea,~</span>The Norva mused<span style="font-style: italic"> ~ A pity its too time consuming and requires a large amount of materials, blood and energy to produce a skin inscription. We will see what I can do about that later...~</span><br/><br/>_____________<br/>Edit: Edited my phrasing a little since it had been 'botchered'...
