She awoke exhausted from her long flight, she had spent so
much time in her old cavern that she had forgotten how far apart each lair was
from each other, this one, being the closest was still hundreds of leagues away
and she hadn't even eaten the day before for strength for her journey.
The cave
she was in now was situated on a low hill deep inside a valley, closer than she
liked to humans but later and after she had eaten she would find another lair
much further away from them. She opened her eyes and noticed something was in
her face so she tried to roll her tail up to brush it away. She froze. Her tail
didn't move and now while thinking about it why was the ground so hard?
Annoyed, she tried to sit up but the thing that was in her eye before was now
in her face and she couldn't see properly, she tried a puff of fire to burn it
away but found she had no fire. What the hell was going on? She got up and fell
immediately after, the tail she once had was no longer there to balance
herself, and where were her scales? She had a pale white hide like some cow or
horse or......human?
No she thought,
this cannot be happening, she crawled along the rocky floor to the pool that
was in this cave, not a lake like the last cave she was in but a small pool
where she could drink from. She pulled herself up to the edge with her, what
were these things she used, certainly not talons like she was used to, hands,
the humans called them. "Please no" she thought, this cannot be
happening, please please let this be a dream.
She looked into the pool and was
surprised to see..fire? No not fire but almost like fire, it was an orange red
but it moved with her, it was the thing in her face attached to her head, it
followed her every movement and had an almost magical way about it, she used
her "hands" to move it from her face and was shocked to see the
hideous monster looking back at her from the reflection from the pool. What the
hell in all that is holy happened to me she thought in anguish, I look like a
disgusting human, a female disgusting human, like, like a, like that statue!
Immediately
she made her way back to where she was sleeping, "Was it always this far
away from the pool?" she wondered. It seemed like an ungodly distance away
when before it was a few mere steps. She finally reached the place where she
slept and looked around where her tail should have been and the where the
statue should be. She noticed a glimmer in the corner and stumbled her way to
it, the statue was enormous now and it wasn't of a woman anymore, it was of a
dragon, and it was of her.
