She Stole My Thoughts, So I Made Her Pray at a Dragon Pact

A dream foretells a rival stealing a beast interpreter's career and honors.

Asterfell Academy's chief beast-speech interpreter wakes from a vision showing her own professional death. Newcomer Liora Bell declares she can converse with dragons, griffins, and shadow wolves, directly challenging the protagonist's exclusive role translating for the royal dragon pact ceremony. The nightmare maps out Liora seizing every honor while the academy brands the incumbent jealous and demotes her to mucking out griffin stables, turning a lifetime of specialized training into public disgrace.
