Hearing the bit of his story that he had shared before pulling himself back from memories that were clearly more heartbreaking than any being should have to hold she gave a brief nod. "My apologies for your losses. It is true that the human race is cruel but sometimes they are necessary to wear their skins as to hide from others, some have a magic that is helpful even to my kind." She said knowing that although he was not an ancient one, they were still both opposing sides  to humans.<br/><br/>"I have many many years beneath me although I am still very young, you see Dragons live a very long life and I am trapped between species at times, when the human hiding that my clan has done over time tries to come back. I am apparently well practiced enough that you believe me to be human." She said thinking that if he had stumbled into their current encampment that he would have been very confused and possibly roasted if his fire didn't make him fireproof.<br/><br/>"When the threats were rising we gathered food, we moved below ground into a series of tunnels and caves that we had found. In doing so we had found one of the few safe places remaining.  We all went to sleep and when we woke up, Gaia had already started taking back her surface, we had flown a few nights to see what could be seen, the air was lighter, cleaner than when we had gone below. Then we learned who was where and how many had survived, we found ourselves a source of water and thick forestry to create the first of many places we would go. Now we blend in with humans but we hunt with the supernatural side as well, we keep to ourselves and only run into others such as yourself when you cross our paths." She said with a grin.
