Woooo! New Birth of Wing's chapter. Let's go and welcome the new dragon of the group.
Night was currently watching something that was borderline entertaining. He never thought in his life that he would see a dragon, let alone a dragon that has been changing to all the colors of the rainbow ever since Zwayer transferred over to this dragon.
The Scientist had no idea what was going on, not even chameleons changed colors like this. Everybody was shocked when the dragon started changing colors every few minutes. They were already making plans to study this later after Zwayer woke up.
It seems like most of the time he would be a mix of purple and yellow, but that never lasted long.
Night's ears perked when he heard something move, he looked down from his daydreaming and saw the colorful dragon moving in front of him.
Zwayer started to change colors again, this time blue and orange. Zwayer started trying to stretch and say something, but his eyes shot open when he heard the weird growls coming out of his mouth. He rapidly turned green, gold, and then an acid green.
Zwayer tried to stand up rapidly but was getting tangled up in his own limbs in his panic.
Night started laughing at the panicking dragon.
Zwayer stopped and looked at him turning red, "It's not funny!" the now red dragon said pissed.
Night stopped laughing, "I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing because I did the same thing when I woke up for the first time."
Zwayer turned a pale pink and then yellow.
Night was starting to catch on what the color changing meant, it probably had something to do with how Zwayer felt.
Zwayer turned a light blue color, then a reddish-orange color as he started trying to stand up again on his wobbly limbs. This time, trying to take it slow instead of flailing around like a dying moose.
Zwayer stood up and tried to take a step but almost fell down on himself, his limbs shaking from moving after such a long time of being stuck in place in a tube.
Night saw this, "Try tucking your wings in, it helped me when I started trying to walk."
Zwayer tucked in his wings and took another step, this time looking way more confident, "Wow, you weren't kidding," Zwayer said in Suprise, "It feels like I'm not being wayed down anymore when I do that."
Night nodded, "Also your tail, lift that partially off the ground when you try to walk and especially run."
Zwayer nodded and took another step and started to slowly walk. "It takes a bit but I think I can get used to this," Zwayer said as he walked around the area.
"Ya, it took me about five or six minutes before I could run," Night said nodding in agreement.
Zwayer slowly started to get faster and faster until he was pretty much jogging now.
Zwayer stopped jogging and he came to a stop, both him and Night looking at the door as the knob turned.
Dave came through the door and saw the now awake dragon, "Good, I thought you would be awake by now!" Dave said happily.
Dave went back through the door, and he grabbed something, "I got what you asked for," Dave said as he came back through the door with a cart that had food of all kinds and two barrels that were obviously the beer they had asked for.
Zwayer started salivating at the sight of all the food on the cart, just now realizing how hungry he actually is.
Zwayer, we already know what Night likes, so come over here so we can find out what your type of dragon prefers.
Zwayer nodded and walked over to the cart. He took a look at all the food. There was raw meat, cooked meat, and fruit and vegetables.
He shrugged his shoulders and took the raw meat and took a bite out of it. It was almost disappointing. It wasn't great but also not that bad. Like taking a bite out of off-brand bread but it was meat.
Zwayer finished chewing his food and looked at Dave, "Not great but not bad."
Night translated for him and Dave nodded and wrote something on a notepad.
Zwayer went to the cooked meat and took a bite out of it. It was definitely better than the raw meat, but it tasted nowhere near as good as it did as a human.
"A little better but still not that great," Zwayer said to Dave. Night translated again and Dave nodded and went back to his notepad.
Zwayer looked at the fruit, there were mangoes and some other types of fruit. Zwayer raised his shoulders and took one of the mangoes and took a bite. Zwayer paused as he started to chew and then his pupils shrunk.
Zwayer looked down at the pile of fruit like it was the greatest thing ever. He started digging into the pile of fruit and shoved them into his mouth as his life depended on it.
Dave laughed, "Is it good?"
Zwayer paused and swallowed the fruit in his mouth, "It's bussing respectfully!"
Night started laughing at that and laughed even harder as Zwayer continued to dig into the fruit. Night translated for Dave, and he started laughing too.
Zwayer ate all the fruit happily. Dave waited patiently after he got done taking his notes down.
Zwayer turned a pale pink and then went back to his usual purple and yellow. Zwayer took a look at the vegetables and took a tomato and took a bite out of it. You could clearly see a disappointed look in his eyes.
"It's pretty good, better than the meat but it's not even close to the fruit," Zwayer explained his disappointment.
Night translated and Dave nodded and took another look at his notes, "All right, so obviously you will mainly be getting fruit to eat, along with some other types of vegetables so we can keep your diet even in nutrients.
Zwayer nodded and then looked at the beer kegs, "After you," Zwayer motioned to Night.
Night nodded and took one of the barrels of beer, it fit pretty good in his hands considering it was a human-sized barrel.
Zwayer took his barrel and he ripped the top off the barrel, Night ripped his off too and they both look looked at each other, "Cheers to being a dragon!"
They both chugged their barrels and slammed the barrels down against the cart.
Zwayer looked at Dave, "That tastes great, I think it tastes better as a dragon than as a human."
Night nodded his head, "I agree with him, it tastes a bit sweeter than usual."
Dave nodded his head, "I'll make sure to get you guys some every now and then when I can."
Dave looked back up from his notes, "I know you can't speak English yet Zwayer, but I need you to start working on a new name for yourself now that Zwayer is legally dead."
Zwayer nodded.
Dave nodded, "All right, now that we got that out of the way we are going to work on some small test."
Zwayer nodded again, not saying anything since Dave couldn't understand him.
"The first thing we want to test is your colors, we weren't expecting you to be able to change colors like you do," Dave explained.
Zwayer was confused, "What do you mean?"
Dave got the gist of what he just said, "You haven't noticed yet?" he asked surprised, "You can change colors."
Zwayer looked down at his chest and saw that he wasn't the same color as when he woke up. He jumped a little in shock and saw his scales change colors again. He looked over at Night, "How long have I been doing this?"
Night shrugged his shoulders, "Ever since you first transferred to your new body."
Zwayer gave him a questioning look, "Can you do this?"
Night shook his head "No."
Dave cleared his throat and looked over at Zwayer, "We were first just wanting to know if you could change your scale's colors at will?"
Zwayer shrugged his shoulders, "I have no idea, I guess I can try... orange."
Zwayer focused for a bit and changed to orange but then quickly switched to reddish-orange.
"So you can, but you're probably going to need to practice for a bit?" Dave asked him.
Zwayer nodded, "Yeah, probably."
Dave nodded, "All right we don't have a ton of tests today, so we are going to do this last one."
"What is it?" Zwayer asked him.
"We wanted to measure the temperature of your fire," Dave said as he wheeled a device that looked like a wall but was on a cart.
"Just hit it directly in the middle of the wall and that should be all you have to do," Dave explained.
Zwayer nodded and looked over at Night, "How do I use my fire?"
"It took me a while to learn how to use my fire, I found a muscle that you will feel riiiiight... here," Night said as he pointed at a pot around the base of his chest to where it hooked up to his neck.
Zwayer just nodded and looked over at the wall. He focused on the spot in the middle.
He focused on the spot where Night said the muscle was, but nothing was happening.
He looked back over at Night with a questioning look, "Nothing is happening?"
Night nodded, "Open your mouth, I think it is a natural safety measure to make sure we don't hurt ourselves."
Zwayer nodded again and looked back over at the wall, this time opening his mouth.
It was like his body tensed up in the realization of what was happening. He felt something click in his mouth and suddenly... it was not fire that came out of his mouth.
He felt his chest tense up like what Night said. But instead of flames, it was a black-colored fluid that came shooting out of his mouth and it splattered everywhere.
He had no idea how to aim it. Some of the liquid did hit the tarted, most of it hit the floor around the target, and some of it hit... Dave.
Zwayer shut his mouth and looked at Dave in shock.
It was quiet in the room for a couple of seconds.
Then there was a sizzling sound that filled the room...
And then there were screams.
