Chapter 157

It took a whole hour of pleasure before Ygritte got too exhausted to continue.

His enhanced body could easily allow him to go for another hour but he didn't want to injure her so he left her in the bed and used the portkey to leave his room.

He appeared in the long underground hallway with the three doors and opened the one on the right.

The Incubation Chamber, he called the room.

He felt a hot wave of heat went past him as he entered the room but ignored it and went to the large table glowing with magical runes.

The table had 50 oval shaped holes with glass covering the top half of the holes.

23 of those holes were filled with dragon eggs.

Eggs that were petrified stone till a few months ago.

Eggs that had come out of their petrified state and were now looking much like the egg that Hagrid had before he hatched Norbart.

He could hatch these dragon eggs. They were ready and he knew the ritual required to hatch an egg.

The only thing that stopped him from doing so was that the dragons won���t be bonded to him.

He knew of the rituals that the Dragonlords of old used to change their bloodline in a way which allowed them to bond with the dragons.

A ritualistically changed Dragonlord would gain silver, platinum or golden hair with eyes in a variety of shades of purple or light blue.

They would also not only become much more magically powerful but also gain the trait of being immune to fire.

Some of these Dragonlords even had the ability similar to that of a seer from his past life, allowing them to dream of the future.

He wondered how much more magically powerful he would become after this ritual.

Would be become powerful enough to rival himself from his past life? Would he still be weaker. Or would he become stronger.

He himself was excited to know and could barely hold himself back from performing the ritual on himself.

The only reason why he had yet to perform the ritual was that performing body altering ritual in quick succession one after another could be very harmful to a wizard or witch and lead to unnatural side effects.

A warning which Tom Riddle didn't take to heart, which resulted in him losing most of his humanity, his mental faculties and a snake like face.

The reason for this was that a powerful ritual always leaves magical residue that would interfere with other rituals, altering the effect that they might bring to the wizard performing the rituals.

From what he had found from his own magical inspection. The magical residue left by the body enhancing ritual would last in his body for a few years before completely dissipating.

The problem with that was that Winter was coming. And the White Walkers were coming with it.

If he wanted his dragons to grow large enough to fight the White Walkers then he would need to hatch them as quickly as possible.

He checked on the health and status of all the eggs before he put them back in their places and left the room.

He then crossed the hallway and went to the large room where he would perform his rituals.

The room was filled with runes he had carved to stabilize any ritual he might perform in this room and aid in it's success.

He looked at the half completed the ritual circle in the center of the room and started working on it immediately.

It was a long term use ritual circle which would allow him to enter within himself and expel the magical residue left by the last body altering ritual.

If he continued this ritual everyday then he would cut the time required to get rid of the residue from the body altering ritual from a few years to a few months.

Even then, some of the magical residue left in his body would never leave him.

This was why after a few body altering rituals, no matter how careful a wizard or witch is, they would start getting side effects from those rituals.

Too many rituals are never a good thing.

He just hoped that he won't have to perform any other body altering ritual after the Bloodline changing one.

Because as cool as it might sound in theory, he didn't want to turn into a half dragon.
