His shimmering white opalescent scales were not frigid plates of ice or diamond. But rather smooth pearly discs that where warm and silky soft to the touch. Even his the bristles on his back, though looking appearing to be jagged spikes, they where malleable soft fuzzy white velvet... much like the velvet on deer antlers.<br/><br/>As a hatchling, Winter Wind grew up in the snow covered mountains living in caverns carved out into the mountain glaciers. It was a place, most hunters wouldn't risk the climb and humans often found the air up there extremely difficult to breath. Unfortunately, there was not much food there and the older he got he was required to very further down to hunt bigger game as merely birds and eggs hidden the rocks made for a tasty treat but for the frost dragon was now as big as clydesdale only lower to the ground, with massive white wings, long neck tail and the shimmering pearly white scales that radiated wonderful colorful hues of light as he soared high above the clouds....<br/><br/>Needless to say, the further down the mountains you went the more dangerous it was. Not that many creatures would be foolish enough to attack a dragon, he didn't need to worry about them, what he needed to worry about were humans. Usaully they were loud and noisy, and not too hard to avoid... there of course were a few sneakier than others but he understood about hunting and he always presumed if as long as he kept at least ten miles distance from them he would be safe.<br/><br/>Winter however was extremely unfamiliar with human ways..... one such thing he didn't understand was the concept of traps. The stupid humans obviously had forgotten something tasty little treat swinging on a rope.<br/>==========================<br/><br/>Meanwhile... Not So Far Away!<br/>==========================<br/><br/>Twenty rough bearded men laughed as they circled around the Young Red headed beauty. They were clad in tough dragon scaled armor and brandished blades and large axes in their hands.<br/><br/>"Whats a pretty thing like you doing out in the forest all alone?" asked there leader, a tall barrel chested gruff man with red bearded man.  When suddenly the faint sound of bells could be heard in the far off distance.<br/><br/>"That's the trap! Thats the really big trap!  Chief!" exclaimed the tall wiry man with a crooked nose.<br/><br/>The big red bearded man grinned, "What do you know! We caught us a dragon and a ripe little strawberry for us to enjoy tonight in the same day! You two take her!"  he commanded, with out hesitation, one of the hunters ran up behind The Princess, cracked her over back of the head with butt end of a spear! "Put her into one of empty iron cages we have for trapping wolves! And don't nobody touch her! You all can have her after I get my go first!" he declared with a loud guffaw and quickly began shouting out orders to saddle up the horses, "Follow me! We got a dragon to slay, a wench to bed, and a large gold purse to collect when he turn in the dragon's head!"<br/><br/>===========<br/><br/>Winter stared at the Tasty treat dangling from a rope in the air....<br/><br/>It was a bright orange pumpkin, Winter ate just about anything, but pumpkins were a favorite of his. But the moment he lifted his scaling head up and bit into it, a giant net fell from the canopy! instinctively the young dragon's reaction was to fly, but when he attempted to leap into the air  to fly away, the net tangled around his wings. Unable to fly, Winter tried to run but the net rapped around him even tighter until he collapsed. Loud brass bells started to ring up in the trees calling the dragon hunters to come riding .....<br/><br/>But just as they came with their spears and a calvary bows, there was suddenly a large flash of bright white light! The bright light sent the horses rearing back in panic.  Once the disorientated hunters managed to get their horses to calm back down, when they looked back at the their prize. Instead seeing the ensnared dragon thrashing about where it had been, they saw a young man with fair skin and long white hair slipping out of their nets!<br/><br/>Although in human form, by the strong distinct magical aurora that moved over him, clearly indicated he was something different entirely. Besides his long thick bright almost neon white hair that went down just past to his shoulders outlining his strong handsome smooth jawline, his eyes were probably what defined him the most, There was nothing human about his eyes. Wind's eyes currently were solid pitch black ebony orbs of fear and panic as he fled on foot into the trees wearing not a stitch of clothing on him.  The hunters being on horse back quickly surrounded him bound his hands tight.<br/><br/>Normally a band of bandits would have been happy catching, such a unique and handsome fair youth that they could sell for a pretty penny at a slave auction. But theses weren't bandits, they were dragon hunters and they hunting bigger prizes. But there was a problem... the young man wasn't in his dragon form.... Which began to the big debate between the rough looking men on what they should do with the creature.  Some argued if they killed him now, there would be no trophy and therefore no gold! others claimed if they killed Wind now, he would turn back into his true form!<br/><br/>Which ever the case, Wind didn't understand the humans, but this didn't make him any less terrified,  he knew whatever it was they were talking about, it was was not good. He wanted to shift back into his dragon form but he couldn't... not while he was tied up! which was probably for the best or else the dragon hunters would have slit his throat and skinned him by now. Instead they shouted and cursed as they kicked a prodded him their spears trying to scare him enough to get him to shift back into his true form.... but he couldn't! all he could do was cradle up into a ball as they buffeted him.<br/><br/>Eventaully the hunters grew frustrated and so they decided to carry terrified dragon shifter back to there camp to decide what do there.  Once the hunters returned they tossed the frightened Wind onto the ground. At the center of the campsite the two men who chosen to watch over the other princess and stood roasting a venison over a large camp fire.<br/><br/>"Where is that pretty wench?" demanded the chieftain.<br/><br/>One of the hunters turning the spit stopped what he was doing and quickly produced a large wanted posture with the woman's likeness. "Chief she is a princess!"<br/><br/>Crom, the dragon hunter chieftain snatched  the wanted posture out his hands and scowled! "What else can go wrong! I can't kill the bloody dragon while in its in human form! Now I can't fuck the red headed bitch!" he cursed out loud, which created a murmur of a displeasure throughout the dragon hunters.<br/><br/>"But Chief! Think of the ransom! think of the reward we could get for returning her back?" the short fat grey bearded man insisted as he turned the spit over the fire.<br/><br/>Crom mumbled another curse, "I suppose she will be worth more if we bring her back chaste and sound!" he mused out loud as he plodded over toward the iron barred cage.<br/><br/>"So you are a princess....I suppose I should apologize and let you out or bow or something, possibly give you something to eat and drink," he said with an amused chuckle. "Well princess, I will do just that, if you promise not to run away...and I promise IF you cooperate none of my men will violate you... of course IF you try sneaking off, well...I might not be able stop what happens out there in the forest if they catch you first," he announced, as he reached for his key to unlock the heavy cage door if she agreed.<br/><br/>"Do we have an understanding?" he asked.<br/><br/>=======<br/>=======<br/><br/>OOC<br/><br/>Just brainstorming.  But I was thinking, the dragon hunters could return her back to the palace for the reward. But instead of letting them kill the dragon she could buy him... or just order her guards to take him off their hands...<br/><br/>During the time they travel back to the palace she could make sure that the hunters don't abuse Wind to badly, and promise them more money if they keep him alive...that way, Winter might form a sort of bond and friendship.<br/><br/>Anyways, when they get to the palace she could order them to cut Wind Free.  Once free of his bonds, Wind Turns back into his Dragon Form! By that time he would be extremely loyal and protective :)<br/><br/>I was thinking she could train him at the palace and fit him with a saddle, and then when the guy she is supposed to marry comes to take her back with him.... She hops on Winter's back and flies away! With food and money and supplies :D<br/>-<br/>But its up to you lol  I was just thinking it would be funny to see how her parents react when she comes back with an enormous tamed Frost Dragon following behind and the guards being too afraid to separate them lol
