Chay spent a bit longer there but didn't feel relaxed. Finally he returned home, his report made his boss angry and Chay was serverly beaten, Which he took without a flinch. Once let free he limped out the door and only when he was out of sight he collapsed with a hiss of pain, panting he changed to a dragon and took off, he had several gashes along his back and one very long and deep one on his chest, he got to the lake before his weak wings gave out and he slammed into the ground beside the lake. Panting he stared at the stars as he felt his powers drain. He knew he wouldn't die, only be weakened by the loss of blood, sadly  that meant that he was an easy target once his shadow protection was gone with mornings light, which was merly hours away. Sighing he ran his hand over his naked bloody chest, feeling the deep gash with cold fingers, this one had been made by a dragons tooth dipped in poison that if left untreated go to his heart and kill him. His eyes closed and he fell asleep.
