Hmm. Probably not one of those but bigger, then. Sounds like an Old One. Those tend to be like that, and are relatively common in different universes. But one that only works on dragons? That's rarer.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

We're visiting the heart and taking it out. I've mapped out the most direct route.
*Flashes a path from the previous planet, to the upcoming one, to an unseen third*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

What makes it the heart?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Its soul resides there. As for why that destination in particular is the heart of the beast, I have no idea.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

And it’s the only place for certain? No soul division shenanigans to be concerned about?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

For certain? Do you have some way to check?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

I would say no. Matters of detecting and attacking a soul are not in my skillset. It's a pretty niche field.

<Snipped quote by Codify>

Seems like you have a grasp on it. Something vaguely similar if nothing else, with the right concepts.
*Shrugs*
My worldly experiences are very, very limited. Haven’t been out and about long, so I’ll take your word for it.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Believe it or not, that’s not mine either. Especially without the souls I had collected.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Rubs the back of my head*
I kinda burned my bridge with the one guy I know with that capability too…

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

I can say that they're tough for normies to take out, but usually that's because they'd be affected too. If it's just dragons being affected, then it's not a huge deal. I'd still rather that they talk it out though.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

What did you do, exactly?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

You were there. Remember the guy who… Who tried to help my brother?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Nods*
That was him, then?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

It was. Unfortunately.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I knew someone with that skill at one point too, but everyone I knew turned out to be good-for-nothing traitors.
*Glances at you*
And my enemy a helpful ally. There “fate” goes again.

<Snipped quote by Codify>

Anything’s possible. I doubt they’re going to surrender the element of surprise they have. But Roland isn’t the type to forgo negotiations if the adversary shows a willingness to cooperate… Well, most of the time.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

A much more relatable experience to me than you might think.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I’ve noticed surprisingly many.
*Gravity shifts again, now plummeting us toward the surface of the planet, whose black surface appears to be vibrating*

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Hmm... That's something, at least.
