Returning The Scale

The crowd stared in stunned silence as John held the ancient dragon reverse scale, which had been thrumming with power just moments ago, but now sat in his lap like a content puppy. Everyone knew that ancient dragon reverse scales contained a small portion of sentience, with the same pride that the dragon it came from had. 

With dragons being one of the most powerful races in existence, taming a reverse dragon scale was next to impossible for most. And yet, the scale had been tamed in merely an instant, without John having to do anything. 

Were it not for the fact that everyone could tell the reverse scale had moved on its own accord, dozens of auction house employees would have surrounded John in a second, as theft of an item was harshly punished.
