It's been five years since Kora changed, as she called it. Following her taking flight from Britain, she found herself in the woods in Northern Canada. Seeking out a cave, she stayed in those woods for a year, too scared to leave her only safe haven. No one bothered her due to its remote location and other animals genuinely feared her. However alone she was, she was able to survive in all three of her forms.
Her human form was awkward for her to walk in. She felt naked with it on for her new additions were not present. However, she learned to thrive on her own. With a crude bow and a set of arrows, she hunted for fun to pass her time. Becoming more proficient each time, Kora learned how to shoot arrows with extreme accuracy due to her draconic eyes allowing her to "zoom in." In her hybrid form, Kora was able to slash through nearly anything. Her sharp claws had yet to find something she could not effect. Lastly, in her whole dragon form, she was, well, a dragon.
In addition to her multiple forms, she also gained a few new abilities. She was constantly vigilant like something was about to come, had no real need to sleep more than a few hours a week, her requirement for food had lowered dramatically, and of course she could breathe fire. She became very possessive of things of hers, which were few to account like her weapons. Guarding her home with her life, she found herself mostly in her hybrid form unless necessary to change.
After three years of hiding away in her cave and forest, she emerged wearing animal pelts from her kills. Heading south, she searched for any signs of life to help her figure out what she should do. Passing through French Canada, she met a group of drakons. Although this group was hesitant to allow a true dragon descendent to join them. She was eventually welcomed into the circle. With knowledge from the elders, she learned that every seemingly fiction story was in fact nonfiction. Considering her still keeping her human features, the elder drakon told her that she was probably half mortal on her mother's side. Smelling her scent, there was a clear mix between monster and human. They believed that she came from the Colchian dragon. She was told that this dragon kept the Golden Fleece safe until he had fallen at the hero Jason's sword. However, unlike the myths, she was not simply a giant serpent. She was a dragon, or drakon as some referred to her father. As a dragon, she clearly had wings and breathed fire in addition to her stereotypical characteristics like scales and slit-eyes. She also found that she could talk to any reptile through hissing, an ability hailing from her reptilian father. Kora only spent a mere year with her Canadian relatives before she continued her journey south. Before she left, she was warned to stay away from any demigods because they would attempt to kill her, and the same went for the famous Hunt lead by the goddess Artemis.
She didn't know what she was looking for as she crossed the border into Maine. She just knew that her heart and head drew her further and further into the Greek Gods domain. Nervously, she roamed all over Maine for the remaining year. Being mindful of the nymphs living in the area, Kora courteously asked if she could stay for a little while. A bit shocked, the elder nymph Bala smiled softly and nodded in agreement. The wise nymph could sense something amiss in this half-blood monster. Promising to guard her woods with her life in thanks for her stay, Kora kept out any lumberjacks, poachers, and hunters for the year she lived. The only animals she fed from were the ones terminally ill or the people attempting to hurt her new home. Bala and the other nymphs were amazed at how Kora kept her word and gave her company. Although they did not speak much, there was a general understanding that everyone respected and protected one another. In addition, the elder nymph noticed some strange things about her new protector of the forest. Something she stowed away for later use.
One day while Kora was protecting her forest, she found herself near a school. Tilting her head, she didn't remember ever coming across a school in her walks. Sniffing the air, her eyes widened as she smelt not one but five distinct demigods. Knowing the danger, she creeped forward as she heard a clashing sound. Hiding in the foliage, she saw a young boy around her age with black hair, tanned skin, and deep sea green eyes. Wearing a hideously bright orange shirt, she couldn't make out the words because he was moving so fast, attacking a lion-scorpion-bat hybrid. However, before the black-haired boy could attack again, the monster grabbed a girl with blonde hair pulled into a ponytail and blue eyes wearing the same shirt as the young boy. To the side, she saw a satyr, two girls, and another boy. All these seemingly normal people reeked of godly descent. One girl with long dark brown hair and black eyes seemed to be siblings with the male, who had the same hair and eye color. The remaining girl had spiky black hair and electric blue eyes. Satisfied in her curiosity, Kora stepped back, but she soon heard an arrow shoot through the air. Softly whimpering, she crouched down further to the ground. Recognizing the silver arrow and the scent of a goddess, she realized her mistake in staying by this school.
As a helicopter flew overhead, she covered her fragile ears at the loud thumping of the blades. With a wave of her hand, the goddess made the helicopter disappear claiming that no mortals may witness the Hunt. The Hunt! Kora despaired. This was truly her last moments. There was no way she could escape her fate now. Peeking again through the brush, she saw the monster with the blonde girl escape as they fall over the cliff. The black-haired boy screamed "Annabeth!" as she fell.
Calming down, she saw the goddess approach the remaining children and satyr. Seeing this as a way out, she slowly edged backwards. However, her luck seemed to run out as the satyr stiffened as he scented her monstrous scent. This is the end, Kora accepted.
