For four days the dragon shifter remained unresponsive. She continued to be watched while everyone in the lair went on with their daily lives. The smaller dragon's body was now cleaned up and Magus used a preservation spell so the body wouldn't decompose. After it's wounds were healed the black cat would stay close to its mistress. The size changing cat reminded Magus of Alfador. From what he could sense the cat was male and it was fiercely protective of his mistress.

Food and water was left for the cat so it wouldn't starve. The feline only left his owners side only to eat or drink. At the moment Magus was continuing his research on how to properly summon Lavos when one of his guards came to him.

"What is it?" the fiend lord inquired without looking at his servant.

"The female has awoken" the imp answered.

Magus closed his book and nodded for the imp to leave. He had been waiting for this moment to happen for days. He chose to leave his scythe behind and headed in the direction of the dragon shifter's chambers. If she attacked him he could easily stop her with his magic. However he would give her the chance to speak.

The guards outside the shifters room gave their lord a bow before he entered. The black cat was now a panther and the woman was stroking it's head. When Magus came to a stop the panther gave the dark mage a warning growl. The red headed woman looked up to see her host looking at her. She wasn't wearing her night dress but a pair of black pants and a turquoise tunic. Her hair was pulled back in a high pony tail.

"You seem to have recovered quickly" Magus began. The woman didn't reply for a few minutes. Her silver eyes examined Magus seeing if he was a threat. Finally she spoke.

"Who are you?" she inquired carefully. She sensed this man was powerful and she was in his home.

"I am Magus the leader of the Mystics" the dark mage answered.

"My brother? Where is he?" was the dragoness's next question. Magus could tell she wanted the answer and he gave it.

"Come with me and I will show you" the fiend lord then turned and left the room. The shape shifter was right behind him along with the panther.

Magus led the woman and her pet towards the dungeons. As they passed the halls several monsters popped out and the panther would roar at them and the creatures would run away in fear. A small smirk came to Magus's lips. The cat definitely resembled Alfador.

Finally they arrived where Magus had the young dragons preserved body. The young shifter had been placed on a altar of some sort and the woman slowly walked over to her dead sibling. A few tears slid down her face as she placed a hand on her brothers scaly head.

"We were feeding when a group of humans attacked"

Magus remained silent however he was interested in how the dragon shifter arrived in his forest.

"The hunters separated me from my brother and made an attempt to rape me when Eclipse stopped the assault"

"I take it Eclipse is your feline companion?" the mage asked.

"Yes" the woman answered. She continued to stroke her brothers face. "I was able to shift to my dragon form and easily dispatched my assailants, however Stefan had already been stabbed and was losing blood fast, both Eclipse and I attacked the other hunters and as you saw my injuries we put up a fight, those humans fools didn't stand a chance so I finished them off with a simple bite of my fangs"

The woman paused for a second thinking what to say next.

"Suddenly a blue vortex appeared out of nowhere and it's magic caused Stefan to be dragged into it, Eclipse and I followed after him and the next thing we know we crashed into your forest"

That definitely got Magus's attention. What she just described was a time gate.

"What era of time are you from?" he asked.

"1000 A.D."

So this dragon shifter was from the future. The dragon shifter pressed a kiss against her brothers face before she placed a hand onto his scaly hide. Fire left her palm and the flames began to surround her brothers body.

So fire is one of her elements Magus thought as he watched the male dragon's body turning to ash.

Then the ash turned into glowing orange orbs mixed with ice. They orbs began to head upwards and within seconds they were gone. The male dragon's body was gone from the altar.

"When our kind dies we burn their bodies as a way to pay our respects" the dragoness explained. Eclipse rubbed his head against his mistress and she stroked his head in return. She then turned to Magus.

"You might as well tell me what you are going to do with me"

That statement made Magus smirk. He had been right that this woman had spirit in her.

"If you plan on killing me at least let me fight for my life"

It was then Magus decided what he wanted to do with her.

"Killing you would be a waste"

The woman's eyes arched in surprise.

"I am in the middle of a war and finding soldiers is hard enough"

"And if I were to refuse?" the dragoness inquired.

"Then your death wish is granted" Magus replied.

He expected the woman to burst into tears. For her to beg for her life, but instead her response surprised him.

"You spared my life even though you didn't have to, you also preserved my brother's body and allowed me to say goodbye, so I accept your offer of joining your army"

Okay Magus hadn't been expecting that.

The woman continued.

"My parents died a long time ago and my brother is gone, I don't want to return home without having to look over my shoulder"

Both mage and dragon looked at one another. Magus then asked.

"What is your name?"

"Genesis Wolf" was the dragon shifter's reply.
