revealed in triumph. "Activating the device with your dragon trait will leave behind say, for example, the fae trait in the hybrid, which would be perfect because fae have a strong abundance of magic, and that only spikes with being in nature!"

"What if the sacrifice is a hybrid then?" he offered and looked at me as if I'd met my match. I laughed and crossed my arms over my chest.

"I'm glad you asked," I began. "If the sacrifice is a hybrid and, say, has fae abilities, the energy isn't going to aid the summoned beast because it isn't feeding off energy but the human souls! The host of the old device is made to just be the trigger of the beast. The creator never had the thought of how the device would exchange the host's energy into the beast! Sure, the device has the capability of partially controlling a vast amount of individuals which will render them helpless enough to kill and suck their souls if necessary, but that goes directly to the beast. There's no energy source that's entering the host because they're nothing but a sacrifice."

"So that means?"

"If the individual sacrificed is a hybrid, which the instructions and blueprints suggest, the other shifter trait or magic trait of this individual will either be a waste or give them enough energy to survive! I'm leaning towards the strong chance that they'll survive the 'sacrifice' portion and potentially live long enough for help to arrive."

"I have a list of questions, but the most important one is, why wouldn't the other shifter portion be sacrificed for this summoning?"

"The beast is of dragon heritage. It needs dragon energy and the flame particularly to ignite its own flame. It makes sense to sacrifice a dragon hybrid because the dragon portion would ignite the beast while the other half would remain to keep the 'momentum' of the host. It doesn't mean it'll fuel the beast itself with the host’s survival, but to our advantage, it would help us save the host while attacking the beast."

"Alright." The poor man looked confused, but he asked, "Then how will your countering device aid the situation if the beast is summoned and goes on a killing spree throughout the universe?"

"Well," I began with a prideful grin. "The person who activates this device also has to be a hybrid and needs to be half-dragon in particular. Bonus points if they're a royal because of the specific properties I used to create the device."

"Meaning your blood," he summoned up.

"Bingo, my love," I replied. "This device doesn't carry manipulation abilities, but instead can receive extra energy from others and triple its ability. So, for example, if you and I were going to fight this beast. Due to my connection with you, your fae magic would triple in strength so when you attack the beast, it would be at the same level if not stronger than it."

"Okay." He seemed to follow along. "But what if there's a delay in using this device? Like if there's a problem finding a dragon hybrid, or it's discovered far too late."

"Then the universe is screwed."

"Sweetheart.” He gave me an apprehensive look.

"We're only in the first stages. This is the best and most successful prototype I have to counter the already established, one-of-a-kind device."

"Why can't we just destroy the device?"

"It'll trigger the summoning of the beast," I replied like it was obvious. "Why do you think it's been in my family's possession to protect for centuries?"

"Why do I have a strong feeling you made this device to benefit our child?"

My smirk couldn't grow any bigger. "Maybe I did?"

"Why would our baby have to deal with such responsibilities, Quil?"

"You never know," I whined.

"Or you're going to remind me about the dream you had about our child being the savior against the beast?"

"Well, I was getting to that," I reasoned. "But since you brought it up…exactly."

He sighed and rose up to give me that look, but I skipped over to him and hugged his neck before he could say a word.

"Fae may not believe in prophetic dreams, but dragon shifters do. Especially since it runs in my bloodline."

"But isn't this too early?" he reasoned. "You've been spending weeks creating this."

"Yes, maybe," I admitted. "But, it's finally finished, and I have the perfect place to hide it."

"Why would you hide it?"

"If someone ever comes after this device, I don't want them knowing there are two. Generation after generation, the main device has always come with instructions that only dragons can
