The dragons all looked at one another. All in all, there were about 200 of them standing there in the middle of the grassy human meadow. As they all looked around at each other and their surroundings, another fifty passed between the realms.

With the portal closed once more as it should be, the leader, the oldest and wisest of them all, who had been young when the humans had almost killed them to extinction, Tiamat, Queen of the dragons, spoke up. Her voice was low and gravelly with age and there were deep pockets of unprotected skin under her eyes, the signs of old age among dragons. She spoke in the common language, the language of the dragons.

"There are so few of us left. We must assume that those of us not present are lost to us forever."

At these words, all the dragons bowed their magnificent heads in sorrow and respect and listened to the wise words of the leader.

"We must disguise ourselves if we are to survive among these humans. Do as I do. Anyone who cannot, recieve help from someone who can,"

Being vain as all dragons are, but not without a touch of modesty, she transformed, with a bright white light, into a beautiful middle aged human with blue eyes and black hair in her natural state; that is, she was unclothed.

One by one, every dragon in the meadow tansformed themselves using the immortal magic they had left as one species, until nearly all dragons in the clearing appeared to be human. Male, female, adults, children, infants and even a variety of shorter human adults who would be considered midgets among human society. All of them were unclothed, and they felt it as the wind tore through the plain. Not one shivered, however.

"Now for clothing," said Tiamat, and once again, all the dragons in the clearing magically created various articles of clothing, from dresses and pants, to high heels and tube tops.

A loud squeak captured their attention all of a sudden from behind. In their rush to get away from the killing in the dragon valley, a horde of non-dragon animals common in their realm had followed them through the portal.With a wave of her new human hands, Tiamat transformed all the non-dragon animals from their realm into ordinary house cats.

"Keep these human pets with you at all times. They will be used as communication between all of us whenever we are too far apart." instructed Tiamat again. The rest of the dragons listened and each grabbed a cat.

"Go out into the human world, find lives for yourselves, and shimmer back here for a meeting in a month. Keep your identities secret. Create new names for yourselves. Tell NO ONE what you really are. Not even the scorcerers or witches or demons, if any are left." she said sternly.

"We promise, Queen Tiamat," said sevral dragons. The younger ones nodded, although still not entirely sure what was going on.

Tiamat noticed them and smiled with her human mouth.

"Human young are not as smart as you or I, so the younger ones will have to stay with those who appear as human adults, to keep our cover," she finished. Again, they all nodded in agreement. In times like these, free will was not the issue.

It was imperative that they survive, whatever the cost.

One by one, they all shimmered and faded from view to do as Tiamat had instructed.

Only three were left in the end, all siblings, the ones who had watched the horrible battle from behind the cliffs. They all looked at one another sadly and the only girl began to cry. Her twin brothers comforted her as only dragons can; by crying with her.
