Dragon Castle GardenThe raven-haired girl walked along one of the garden's many wondrous paths. The knights were supposed to be coming back today, but so far, nothing. Her violet eyes looked up into the bright blue sky as she sighed at the quit peacefulness that surrounded the castle with their absence. But then. . .
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" shouted a rather loud and obnoxious voice from above.
Cesia dodged out from under the dragon just in time for it to make a shaky landing in the center of a field of daisies. Coughing slightly as dust loomed overhead, she got up and straightened out her clothes. 'Damn, their back already.' She thought, sighing again, but this time with slight sadness. 'But they could have at least landed better. Well, can't blame them for slaughtering demons everywhere, better be nice.' She plastered a smile onto her face and turned to welcome the three dragon knights back home. "Hi! Welcome back!"
Fire, who forgot he was Rath for that one moment, smiled cheerfully and threw himself at the fortune teller, making her topple over in a death-hug. Him, forgetting he was human, had thought he was doing what he normally did, which was leap into Cesia's arms as a small dragon and being cuddle by her loving heart. But. . .he WASN'T himself at the moment, but was RATH. . .which made one helluva awkward scene.
Meanwhile, the REAL Rath had his jaw all the way to the ground, while the other four screwed-up-switched-bodied knights and dragons tried to hide their smuttered laughs.
"Uh. . ." Cesia gazed down at the boy whose arms were latched around her body and started to blush madly. "um. . .what are you doing?"
"Hm?" Fire, expecting to hear something along the lines of "Aw, you're so adorable!" or "you're the cutest dragon ever!" looked down into her beautiful violet eyes and- wait, LOOKED DOWN? "AH!" The dragon quickly let go of Cesia as he realized he was TALLER then she was. 'Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!' he thought, thinking of something to say. "Uh, ah, um. This isn't what you think!" he sputtered, waving his hands in front of him while sweating frantically. "I uh. . .was just, um, playing a joke on you! Yah, that's it! I wanted to know your reaction if I hugged you. . .because, I, uh, I'm making a survey to see what other girls' reactions are!"
Cesia lifted an eyebrow. "A survery?"
"Y-yah, a survey!" muttered Fire, starting to move away from the girl. "And guess what! Almost every girl I've hugged had the same reaction you did!"
"Oh, so you've hugged more than just me. . ." she said, looking slightly down cast. 'Well, duh, it's not like he'd only hug me if he's making a survey. . .ah, what am I thinking! Why do I care!' she shouted furiously in her mind. She decided to forget the whole scene and smiled once again. "I noticed your dragons weren't flying very well, are they hurt?"
Fire sighed with relief. "No, they're not hurt, their just fine."
"Are you sure?" she asked, reaching out for the small form of the fire dragon sitting on the ground. "Let me check."
"No!" the real Fire blocked Cesia off from his counterpart. "They're fine, really!" 'No, not good, if she finds out, our cover will be blown!'
"Rath! What's wrong with you! Just let me check!"
"What's the big deal, Fi- I mean, Rath?" asked Earth, spinning a small twig with his fingers.
"We don't want anyone to know what happened!" piped Rath, Thatz and Rune at the same time. Cesia, of course, not understanding them because she did not speak dragon. "If they figure out they'll-"
"-not let me go out and fight demons anymore!" said Rath, sobbing from the thought.
"-make me feel bad because we were tricked by that idiot of an alchemist!" meeped Rune.
"-Kitchel will mock me for the rest of my life and torture me in this form!" muttered Thatz, shuttering at the thought.
"Argh, MOVE OUT OF MY WAY!" yelled Cesia, now just angry because Rath was acting weird. She extended her thumb and index finger, gathering up the wind around her, and blew the knight away. Quickly picking up the three chibified dragons, she made an exit for the castle and ran up the many stairs.
"Let go of me!" yelped Rath, trying to wriggle free of her grasp.
"I think she's gonna squeeze me to death," said Thatz, turning a unhealthy shade of purple.
"After her!" yelled Fire to his fellow dragons-er, knights?
They chased after the demon witch, but finding that they still weren't used to walking with only two legs, Fire fell first, and Water tripped over him, causing Earth to fall over both of them. While Cesia, having a big head start, got away with their masters.

"Rath! Try burning her or something!" gasped Thatz, yearning for more air.
"THATZ, if I KNEW how to in the FIRST PLACE I wouldn't be WASTING MY TIME riding on a Cesia roller coaster!" growled Rath, angry over everything that had happened to them in the past twenty four hours. "Why don't YOU do something!"
"well, RATH, I'm an EARTH dragon, who needs EARTH to do SOMETHING AT ALL. Meaning I have to be on the GROUND!" snapped Thatz back.
"You're BOTH idiots!" roared Rune, taking action because the other two were too stupid to. He dug his claws into the girls arm and sank his teeth into her as well.
"OW!" Cesia shook the dragon off her arm and let go of her live cargo.
Boy, were those knights stupid.
They fell to the floor, too shocked at what was happening to flap their wings, and crashed into the ground, causing them to be knocked unconscious.
'Weird. . .' thought Cesia as she picked the three spiraly-eyed dragons from off the floor, 'Why didn't they just fly?' "Oh well, better take them to see the Lord." She turned a corner in the hallway and headed for the Dragon Lord's office.

Meanwhile, Fire, Water and Earth were getting up from the floor themselves.
"Fire, how could you trip!" snapped Water, trying to straighten out his master long and rather annoying hair.
"These stupid legs are too long! There's so much to trip over!" argued Fire.
"Well, she got away," muttered Earth, staring in the direction the fortune teller had run off to. "Doesn't really matter to me, though. Master can take care of himself." He stretched out his arms and smiled. "I wanna explore the castle! We were always locked up in those swords! Now it's our turn to play!"
"Yah, yah!" cheered Fire, "C'mon Water, please?"
Water sighed. "Fine, but only for a little while, and DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!" he yelled as Fire reached out a hand to poke an expensive-looking vase.
"Well, let's go exploring then," said Earth, walking down a corridor to start his small adventure.
"Yay!"
