Ilvir ( and Kitty) were a bit full of themselves if they
thought the Dragon Vigilantes were just going to let a bunch of
non members
let alone non dragons
just traipse about in a Dragon Vigilante lair,spying
on one of its
pupils-in-training ( and a neophyte dragon,though Dorothea knew it not at the time)
without action on the part of Dorothea's so far
cloaked,foggy and mysterious mentors.
The main mentor being the Sky Kings giant Air Dragon
nicknamed the Storm by the peasants he killed and more
formally as
Xandernatius.
When Xandernatius had found the Cloud Human Dorothea dying .sprawled
on the floor of the old abandoned Dragon Vigilante lair
underground the Cloud Point Citadel three centuries earlier
he'd been faced with a choice
let her die a natural death and then dispose of the corpse in that
time honoured dragon method
of eating it
or
Cause her to have a Unnatural Death,drain her body of her
Cloud person human blood and give her a blood transfusion of his own
giant air dragon blood and
bring her back to life as a neophyte dragon.
Xandernatius had flipped a coin
Heads the cloud human femle dies and gets gobbled up
Tails the former cloud human female gets to learn wht its like to dragon around her own
dragons tail,a appendage that always seemed to have a mind of its own and alwys seemed to be 3 times longer then it aught to be.
The coin had landed tils
and so Xandernatius had
plunged his wickedly sharp dragons talon into the old Dorothea's beating
human heart and stilled it.
Dragon Vigilantes have the power to shapeshift
into less forms and so
Xandernatius had shrunk down and proceeded with the procedure.
As a cloud human he had a more angular,less less rounded human form, more
beaked nose
and after draining the still warm body
of Dorothea
of her human blood he had transfused her
with his dragons blood
unaware what would happen next.
