So why did you end up as a dragoness?
Well as I recall gender in some reptilian eggs is switched
by the temperature.
So if that prarie weather had been 2 degrees warmer you would
have changed into a male dragon.
Alas it wasn't so a female you became.
However your thoughts are more about where Pastor Billy Friday is
and as you scan the creekbed a half mile away from your
parents log house
you spot the overturned buckboard
with the dead horses in the waters
and your father trapped
down by the wagon.
Down you writh-fly and land on the
creek bank nearby.
Your scaly tail is coiling
about on its
barb and Billy Friday
thinking your
more Devil Spawn needing slaying
by his
50 calibre smoothbore.
He may be in danger
but he's always got time to
take out one
more scaly and
"BOOOOMMMM" the lead whizzes
past inches from your skull.
Rescue is going to be a problem
