"How likely am I to end up with an extra Bondmate I'll regret if I turn into a dragon? How horribly will it turn out if I do and Kithabel has to rescue me from them? What is up with the mental sharing thing? Will I in fact be able to resurrect Kithabel on the spot before succumbing to Bondmate loss myself if she ever dies? Is there anything else we don't know about and should?"
"That is a lot of worries. Just a moment," says the unicorn. He swishes his tail and closes his eyes and thinks hard for a bit, and then he says:
"You only Bond to people you're going to like and get along with and mostly you are only going to like and get along with people who aren't the sort of people who you'd need rescuing from because you are lucky and perceptive. It would be pretty horrible if she had to rescue you but it would probably turn out okay unless there was some other kind of magic involved that the Wild Magic has never heard of. You'd be a really young dragon so you won't do hardly any mental sharing at all. You are very fast and won't have trouble resurrecting your Bonded. You should talk to a unicorn before trying to do most things you might think of to do with this world's magic, but resurrecting dragons is fine and turning people into dragons is fine too. Once somebody is a dragon they can't not be a dragon ever again no matter what, so you should be really sure you want to be a dragon before you try turning into one."
The unicorn pauses for breath, then adds, "You can only be the thing that's like a Dragonbond but has to do with being sparkly while you are the thing that is why you are sparkly, but you're right that anyone who has a sparkly Dragonbond would get a real Dragonbond if someone involved turned into a dragon."
