The bond flared between us, fierce and aching.
I reached up and cupped his face (cold skin, stubble, fangs still half-extended from stress).
“I’m not cutting anything,” I said.

The blade was warm (dragon-warm).
I pressed the tip to my palm, right over the lifeline.
One cut.
Dragon blood welled (molten gold shot through with black).
I let three drops fall into the sigil.
They hissed when they hit stone, spreading like liquid starlight.
