Cedric's hands trembled as he fell to the floor the wine he had been enjoying spilled across the marble floor in the halls of Castle Dunster. His heart throbbed so hard it felt like it would've burst out had it gone on for any longer. A sharp pain shot across his head as his eyes went bloodshot, palms digging into the marble as he let out a beastly scream falling down, The pain disappeared but as he knew... only temporarily. It was time, it couldn't have been anymore apparent, Grant Hudson the Kings hand burst open the doors in a rush following the horrific screams he had heard echoing down the corridor, upon glancing at Cedric who lay motionless he immediately regretted his decision to not have him escorted in the forest far away from the city despite The Kings constant dismissal of the situation. A transformation right now could mean unspeakable disaster let alone the questions that everyone would have following it.<br/><br/>Cedric regained consciousness only to find himself in the<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fpre00.deviantart.net%2Fb957%2Fth%2Fpre%2Ff%2F2014%2F144%2F7%2F2%2Fjoseph__the_ancient__forest_dragon_by_mikeazevedo-d7jlys8.png&amp;hash=f2ed14ebfc0bcd6fc0632c5ed58a59d9" href="https://pre00.deviantart.net/b957/th/pre/f/2014/144/7/2/joseph__the_ancient__forest_dragon_by_mikeazevedo-d7jlys8.png" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank"> Greater Veasulon Forrest</a>, a place known for its danger not only because of the dragons that spent most of their time their but because of other beasts that lurked. Dragons in the forest were found to be hibernating or that is what the people could explain to their best of knowledge. They would only come out extensively during the month of the transformation, it was a strange time indeed and it wasn't only the dragons that exhibited this behavior many of the other beasts would wander off farther than they normally would during this, the Mages of Domini also felt a twinge of disturbance in the natural balance of "magic".<br/><br/>Cedric remembered vaguely asking Hudson to have him escorted to the forest as it is the safest for him to transform in, none would dare traverse through the dense forest to hunt dragons here. Before he could reflect more on what had happened however the monstrous pain returned forcing him on his knees, his eyes throbbed and bones cracked as his bloodcurdling scream changed into a roar, the leaves rustled violently as the tree's blew away from the bright light that emerged from where Cedric had fallen burning away the foliage a good 20 feet from the explosion. Wings emerged from the smoke followed with a loud roar that could be heard for miles. Cedric took flight the sun shined on top of him revealing the gruesome scales on top of his neck, his body covered with a rock hard layer of skin hard enough to stop mere arrows.<br/><br/>The echoes of the roar traversed deep into the forest stirring awake many of the other plunging them into action as one after another each flew out of the forest heading deeper into human territory. The time had come yet again for the weak to hide and pray for protection and for the opportunists to reap the profits that followed will Clara and the hunters encounter the King of Domini yet again and succeed?
