Hybrid au

Slight nsfw intro

Rather than bonding dragons, the college sets Demi-humans together. They’re put into predator and prey pairs, since prey carry more magic, but predators control it better. It’s not exactly picking your partner, you just end up linked one day once whatever makes this works think you’re ready.

Everything else is the same, like how you get in with parapet and the gauntlet. Only thing that’s different is there’s no threshing since you bond differently.

Xaden is a dragon hybrid because I fucking said so
