dragon subjugation ritual

he then told them he needed to fetch a few things from his house and would return in a couple of hours to which he returned to athena who seemed to be getting slightly impatient

"finally" she said he smiled and his dragons antics grabbed her reins and mounted her back where they first flew to the academy to see a packed celica waiting for him where he whistled a few minutes later he could here the wingbeats and he smiled at seeing moros again

"change of plans" christopher said when the shadow dragon landed christopher dismounted from athena and walked over gesturing for celica to follow suit

"it is good to see you moros" christopher said

"and you lord christopher who may i ask are these two" moros asked

"this is my dragon athena and before you ask she is willingly dealing with the harshness in fact i think she likes it when i'm rough" christopher introduced

"a celestial dragon queen your kind are very rare my lady" moros stated

"and this is if you will consent your new rider celica campbell" christopher said he eyed her for a moment

"i hope you like overly gentle cause that is how she rides" athena grumbled

"you talk as if you had experience" moros said

"do you know of the great behemoth mission" athena asked

"i do" moros said

"i allowed her to ride me during that mission since christopher wasn't ready quite yet and so yes i have experience" athena said

"the mission that went so horribly wrong you had to fetch me just to kill the beast" christopher grumbled

"well then i guess i will see how you feel before i consent to do the ritual" moros said

"is a week long enough" christopher asked

"i do believe a week is indeed long enough yes" moros said

"well then in a weeks time i will fetch the both of you and we will head to my families estate where you will officially become my apprentice and do the ritual with me and my family as witnesses a word of warning my family has very strange customs you won't have to follow them but you may have to watch" christopher said

they nodded and he grabbed the reins and mounted athena

"do i need to provide you with a saddle and bridle

"no sir i have my own in fact i didn't really need your saddle when i rode lady athena however i didn't really see a point in removing your saddle to equip mine" celica said

"then i will see you in seven days" christopher said as he pressed his heels against her side and she took off they flew to his home where he packed his things however he didn't and equipped the saddlebags but he didn't mount her

"how do you feel about doing the ritual with me" christopher asked of her

"i'd do it whenever you asked" athena said this caused him to smile

"so i have another question how do you feel about me using spurs" christopher said she was silent for a while

"if you dont want me to that's fine i would just have to get new riding boots because i obviously wont be wearing this when riding you into combat" christopher hurriedly said at her silence

"did you use them before" athena asked

"yes" christopher said

"then go ahead it means you have to do less work right" athena said yet again christopher was dumbfounded but he smiled

"then when we return i will change into my dragon gear and we can complete the ritual" christopher said she nodded slightly he grabbed her reins and mounted her where they flew back to his manner the first thing he did was he fetched his family

"amelia has your dragon agreed to do the ritual" christopher said

"mythros has" amelia said

"then get changed mother father would you prepare the pedestal" christopher said they nodded because of the dragons size while it was possible to place your foot on the dragons snout without some sort of help it was exceedingly annoying so the pedestal was to get to where the dragons still had to place his head completely on the ground so as the dragons head still came up to the ankle which was significantly more comfortable

amelia went to change into her dragon gear while christopher did the same

amelia's dragon gear was very similar to a ranger she wore a black iron chestplate in the shape of a corset which revealing the top of her breasts and a short skirt she wore a black hooded cloak on top of her chestplate for her legs she wore black stockings and then black leather high heeled boots with spurs on the heel and black iron greaves around the legs of the boots for her arms she had had her gauntlets her rapier was at her hip and she definitely looked hot all her gear was enchanted so she cant get cold black armored bracers her hands wear bare as was her upper arms

christophers dragon armor was a lot more unique he wore a black iron chestplate and shoulder pads under it was a leather trench coat with a hood he almost always had up so it's tails were dangling from the armor his upper arms were bare his lower arms had black iron guantlets his upper legs wore leather pants and riding boots which he had greaves equipped around and spurs on the heels of the boots

they came out and walked to the front of the manor where they decided the ceremony would be held

the pedestal was already set up and the dragons as well as the parents were waiting patiently

they had already decided that amelia would go first

her dragon laid his head before the pedestal and waited patiently she walked up the stairs her heels clanking against the marble pedestal as she did so and she walked to the edge of the pedestal her dragon looked at her for only a second before closing his eyes she lifted her right foot and placed it on her dragons snout she placed the appropriate pressure the ceremony required and then she released the pressure as she just stood there with her foot on the dragons snout with she had a proud and confident smile on her face as the dragon simply accepted her as his master

"you are mine" she whispered in pure confidence while standing there with her foot still resting on the dragons snout the dragon whimpered slightly in submission

"yes master" mythros said in resignation

while absolute silence was customary sometimes there were those who whispered words to their dragons eventually she took her foot off the dragon and walked off the pedestal very pleased with how the day turned out

athena then walked up and laid her head before the pedestal and waited for her own rider he walked up the stairs and up to the edge of the platform she did the same as mythros and looked at him for just a moment before closing her eyes and waited he lifted his own foot and placed it on her head he let it sit there for a moment before applying the appropriate pressure then he also released it and had a smile of his own but it wasn't of pride it was of gratitude

"thank you" he whispered

"yes master" athena responded

after that he let his foot rest on her snout for a bit longer before releasing her he then walked down the pedestal and told his parents to leave it there for his apprentice and her dragon who he would be fetching in less then a weeks time
