Title: Dragonflame

Author: JForward.

Summary: Just something before I type up my Elaina series- IF I type it up- a little dragon scene. Wanted to write it. Eh. Say what you think, and if you WANT the Elaina series, just tell me :D reviews make me happeeee.

Elaina gasped and sunk to her knees, clutching her head with one hand, the staff laying on the floor in front of her, one hand laying on the gold. The staff was true gold; starting with a diamond-shaped, razor-sharp chunk of the stuff. The gold then went upwards, widening slightly until at the centre was a band of gold studded with gems. It then stayed the same width until it reached the top. Two razor-sharp wings- one on each side- branched off from the top. Then through them it branched up into a clawed foot, each claw platinum. Then within that sat a huge amethyst, from which white mist was flowing.

Elaina was around 25-ish, her hair long and glossy, a bronze colour, tied in a long plait. She was Guardian Of The Changed, in the time she came from. She had to slay demons and return people that had been transformed if they wished. She had an enemy; he was known to the Guardians as the Raven, a huge raven, who had once been a wizard that transformed himself by a magical mishap. With one touch of his talons he could transform a person into an animal. She had another form; a huge white dragon with feathery wings and a very toxic venom.

However, Elaina had been captured by a strange alien race, who believed she had committed some crime- or known who did it. They had tortured her into insanity and now the dragon side had become evil, taking control with telekinetic powers. The only way to stop it making her hurt people was to join their minds as one. She had to do it, and knew that it was the only way to prevent the Doctor getting hurt again. And she would happily give her life for him.

But not even the Doctor could have guessed what would happen now.
The white mist flowed into Elaina's skin as the dragon side- the dragon's life essence, trapped within the amethyst- flowed from it into her body, making them one. Then she began to scream in agony as she transformed physically into the part dragon. She spread her hands on the grating as huge, powerful black claws with transforming powers grew from her hands. Her eyes changed beneath the lids, becoming dragonish greens and the pupil a slit. She grabbed at her ears as they become thin fan-shaped things, and two huge feathery white wings tipped in black exploded from her back. Tears ran down her face as her muzzle appeared, only partial however.

Her back feet and legs became almost dinosaurish in shape, with the heavy black claws, and totally white. Then she gave another scream as a very long, powerful tail exploded from the base of her back, tipped in a huge, soft feathery shape, tipping in a soft point. Her skin was white now, and almost scaly, but she still had her hair, now only partially dragon. At least she wasn't a full dragon. As the mist cleared and she sat back, she realised that the staff was useless now except as a weapon.

She looked at herself, shakily, at her strong, clawed hands tipped in the deadly black claws. The tears continued to flow from her bright, clear green dragonish eyes. She realised she had a second eyelid she could slide across to view heat. Shakily she stood, and turned to the Doctor, who ordered Martha to stay back as he approached.
