Before a few minutes of meaningless talk with that wyrm, Noctis felt his forces leave him, until finally, he gave in to exhaustion.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA61Ulns5WKZ
The next thing he knew was that he was in a kind of energy bubble, similar to his gift, but on a dark, decayed purple color. In addition, it was translucent. Through this, he could see a seven-headed drake that he immediately recognized as Nighishad. Not that he had seen him before, but he fit perfectly with the description they gave of him. In fact, he was one of his preys, the second headmaster of the Wyynhaist College, which meant he was inside the school.
The Drake, with a robust body and dark scales such as Noctis own, when he realized that he had awakened, spoke to him.

— Sometimes I think that Meselinargus can show a great sense of irony. — The drake said.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAlq9oW9kYSi
The lizard did not respond.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAqR0ZOhW8o1
— You should be grateful to your captor to be alive. The poor girl really believes that saving you will make a difference. If it had been up to me, I would have eaten you as soon as I had the chance.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA60tHvdAu3S
Again, Noctis did not respond.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAZeWV5T8YoV
— Anyway, I'll keep you there until Kaldoria returns from her trip, and then we'll decide what to do with you, I'll tell you that it will not be beautiful at all. Until then, I'm afraid I'll have to keep you in top condition.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAiu5ld6lVyP
— Seems good for me. —The lizard said, his voice still tired.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAFmNkG2q5lM
— But in compensation, I'm afraid I have a condition.
604Please respect copyright.PENANASlwz5vzAGf
Noctis could not do anything but grunt.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAG7fw5h6XFg
—You see, lately I'm getting very bored, so I'll give you a couple of options. Either you give me some conversation, or I'll have to start practicing my gift with you.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAOynJCJrhAy
The prisoner only took a moment to realize the implications of it. He could die of starvation, give that drake information about The Tongue, or, according to what he had been told, live his greatest fears in his own flesh.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAfb1yFQCwfb
— If those are my options, then I'll be your test dummy.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAwd6uwYePJJ
With the three options he had, living his worst fears was as if it were the only one for him. According to his philosophy of life, torture was preferable to dying at the hands of the enemy, and even death itself was preferable to betrayal.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAWOFC5Kdk6a
— Well, I'll explain how it works. You will live your worst fears, and the worst moments of your life, and I will witness them. You will feel them one after another at the speed I want. And if any of them interests me, I'll want to see it more than once. This can cause chronic headaches in the short term, and that if I do not get serious. Even I do not know what could happen to you if I decide to really torture you with Terror. Are you ready?
604Please respect copyright.PENANAfhEME5Grna
The Lizard sounded threatening, but he did not care, so he nodded.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAc01uIYug3s
So, the drake gave free rein to his gift, and the first thing the two saw was ... A wagon falling down a ravine. The shadow of a huge dragon. A very fat, rodent-looking Kindfolk ... And at that moment, Noctis began to shake. The fears, the worst moments of his life, followed each other, in a matter of seconds.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAW7F5unFbU6
His first defeat in combat, the first time he was sent to the cage, that time they cut him ... What was it that had been cut? He was in a kind of operating room, and the doctor had amputation instruments. But as much as Nighishad forced his gift over and over again in that memory, and no matter how much Noctis writhed in horror, none of them could see what was really happening.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA2RnQUoZFUh
Finally, after some attempts, the sub headmaster stopped using Terror.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAzBNIWma0O7
— ¿How long have you been going to the dentist? —He asked, thinking that maybe the lost memory was just a simple tooth amputation.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAiNBRsTBH0p
— That's something i can't afford.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAg85V0qEwdC
—And before deciding to hunt dragons, you used to be a fighter, from what I see.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA4klaSoa6Rj
— I was born to overcome the best. And when I got over them, I got bored. I needed greater opponents.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA2L6XAiIH5Y
—I see. And the scene of the wagon falling down the ravine? What can you tell me about it?
604Please respect copyright.PENANAnuwEM5i7Hf
— I'm as lost as you are in that one.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAzWQgPAhNqJ
— Good. Now that you have verified how Terror works, do you want to continue with this or do you prefer to talk?
604Please respect copyright.PENANAS40i1poyVr
Then, Noctis came up with a way to divert attention from his guardian.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA5Zst0tP1IU
— And what's the point of having six heads to spare? — He asked.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAsAgv917FJC
— C-class Polycephalia, I've developed it as i grew. They really do not do much, with just one extra head is enough to not need to sleep. Then there is the fact that they act by instinct, eating by involuntary reflexes, which is almost like breathing.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAibKsZ7p1Ju
— It's interesting. I mean, even though you have seven heads, you need me to entertain yourself.
604Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6wUmRKyQx
— Because they are idiots! Bah, it's just C-class Polycephalia, I can only have one conscious head at a time. I usually use this. The central, the original. But every now and then I like to use some other.
604Please respect copyright.PENANA2TTuDybliG
— Interesting, tell me more.
