Jane and the other genetically transformed folk had a hunch the
military would have loved to take them all to Area 51 and have
them dissected on and tested like lab rats.
So the 'Aeyrie' as the Secret Society of Dragonkin" as Jane and the others came to know each another
learned to freeze the mundanes,as Jane now viewed her brother
Colin as
from their secrets.
Jane was working late one night on her computer when the
Aeyrie email,the encrypted ones the Aeyrie sent to each another
in this Secret Society.came in informing her.Peluda 33 in Aeyrie
circles ,that a secret gathering of the local Aeyrie was in the
works and to check the secret hideyhole where
'Fafnir 16' would drop of a message
So quietly Jane set up a stuffed dummy in her bed to resemble
her sleeping in bed,
got to her bedroom window and looked
10 storeys down to the ground below.
For that was one secret Aeyrie members definitely didn't
want mundanes such as her human brother to know about,
dragonkin could easily take falls of 3 storeys or more with
little more then a few cuts and scratches.
So Jane slid open the window,gently eased herself onto the
ledge ,closed the window behind her and jumped 100 feet
to the grass lawn below.
She was certainly battered and bruised and cut from the jump,
as well as a black eye this time,
but after a few minutes of just lying there hunched over in pain
the pain in her slowly eased to a dull throb.
Jane got up and hobbled along to the path that led to the ravine
behind the apartment complex.
Jane made her way to the rock by the ravine stream and underneath it
found Fafnir 16's written note to her and giving
her directions to the location of the Aeyrie's meeting the
next night.
Beneath the numbers was scrawled the letters
METAMORPHOSE
and you can be pretty certain all Aeyrie members such as Jane
understood the implications of that word...
