Shifters
Dragons a Myth? a Legend? or Real?
In days of old ( not so long ago ) Dragons ruled. No creature Man or beast could oppose them. And they crushed anyone who tried. Yet as centries passed like this Man grew stronger, wiser, and cunning. They learned the Dragons weaknesses and exploited them. Slowly Man was hunting the Dragons until their numbers dropped below a hundred.
One fateful day the golden chinese dragon Paolini was being hunted( for his GOLD scales) and was fooled into a trap. As he sat there trapped by iron chains thinking about how it was going to end for him a young girl appeared before him. As the young girl no older than 16 came closer Paolini growled "Child why do you not flee? I am a DRAGON a mythical beast with power that's beyond what you can fathom!" The young blonde stopped before his big red eye and said " Dragon I may not be old or strong but at the moment you are in need of help from a creature as weak as I. As for fearing you my great Dragon do not believe for a moment that I am not scarred for then you would be a fool". The great Dragon watched in awe as the girl then layed her hand on his snout and whispered " Do not be afraid dragon for I will not let the hunters catch you for you will be forever free". She then withdrew heer hand and went to work dissarming the trap.
Minutes passed then a half hour, as the hour drew to a close a faint *click* could be heard. The weigth lifted of his body Paolini rose to his full adult hiegth easily 100ft. He looked down at the tired child who had sat down on his paw after the last chain broke. He bent down his face in front of hers.
" Young one is there anything you wish for?" he asked. She looked at him with her sad lilac eyes and replied "My dear Dragon you can not give me what I wish for with all my heart for they are forever free among the stars" she lifted her head to the sky as she finished.
" Then would you like to become like me?" he asked with a hint of curiousity. She brought her eyes back to his. " No Dragon for I will be hunted just like you, unless you could give me another form to take as well as keeping my human one it would be meaningless" she said.
"And if it was possible?" he asked " Then I would sore above the clouds to a land far away from this horrible place" she said looking back to the stars.
"SO IT SHALL BE" Paolini roared. As his breath passed over her feet and hands grew and started growing claws, her smooth skin turned into scales, her pupils became slits, and her back extended. Finally after the transformation completed ( which only took secconds) where the young girl stood before now in her place stood a slightly smaller than Paolini a Dragoness with pale yellow scales and beautiful blonde mane. Finally her eyes were now red just a tad bit lighter than Paolini's.
The Dragoness looked down at herself and smiled she was a DRAGON! She than looked at Paolini and asked " How do I change between forms?" her voice slightly deeper. "Just think Child of what form you with to take and it shall be" he responded.
She did as she was instructed and thought about her human form. As she closed her eyes she could feel her body shrinking baack down. She opened her eyes to see the old Drake smirking at how much effort she was giving. She frowned and changed back swatting at his snout irratatedly. He growled and played back swatting his tail across her back leg making it give out. She fell with a *THUMP!* and snorted. " Don't pick fights you can't finish young one" he said with mirth.
" My names Yin not young one, dragon" she said grumply.
"And my names not Dragon its Paolini" He stated proudly.
