Was there a Dragon in Changes?
OxfordComma:
I was listening to Changes this morning and got to the part where Harry does his Gravity Hammer spell at the temple. Listening to Harry's description of what the power of the Lay-Line he was using felt like, it sounded suspiciously like how Mr. Butcher described what a Dragon in his full form would be like. So, I wondered if the source of the Lay-Line under the temple could be one of the remaining Dragons???
Kindler:
1. Outstanding user name.
2. I don't think an entity itself could be the source of a leyline, but I could buy a dragon's demesne or hoard hanging out below Chichen Itza. Quetzalcoatl was tied very, very strongly with Itza (Chichen Itza is a temple to Quetzalcoatl/Kukulkan), and depictions of the deity as a feathered serpent sound an awful lot like dragons to me.
3. It does fit a bit with the Word of Jim on how Dragons (capital "D") are semi-divine beings in the Dresden Universe. There's one that says they're responsible for things like causing an ice age or splitting a continent with a river.
Good thought. It could be true. I have a feeling we'll find out more about Dragons and dragons later on.

Consider the origins of the dark ley lines radiating from DR and it's a good possibility the origin of that one could be a slumbering dragon.

I figured the Well was the prison, and the energy was tainted by the prisoners' presence, contributing to it and twisting it, but not the source. But, eh, I could be wrong.
peregrine:
I doubt it. Just because something is described in a similar fashion doesn't necessarily mean they ARE the same. Not every headache Harry has, even if it's like being stabbed in the head by icepicks, is necessarily caused by the same thing. Sometimes he just has really bad headaches because he gets himself beat up a lot.
That said, if there IS a dragon there, I don't want to think about what all those sacrifices on its doorstep might be doing to it.
