				Flapping of great leathery wings in the air sounded like thunder of a coming storm. Only this storm brought fire and destruction. This was their domain. No one was going to take what belonged to them. It had been this way for centuries. Now, the humans were expanding, building more cities ever closer to their lands. Creating new means of transportation, noisy transportation which ruined the serenity they craved. The dragons tried to ignore them. The straw which broke the camels back occurred when the first detonated explosion tore away a chunk of mountainside to make way for the new railroad. They were not about to have their domain fouled by iron and smoke.<br><br>The first flight of dragons broke through the storm clouds overhead. Several cut loose with a stream of searing white hot flames which melted tracks of steel already laid. As they pulled up, the ground below opened fire. Volley after volley of metal rocketed into the sky. A royal blue dragon took a hit to his soft underbelly. A roar of pain filled the air as the dragon veered away sharply in retreat. In his haste the dragon clipped a snowy white dragon. The white dragon rolled out of the way just barely. Flapping white wings the dragon righted herself. The momentary distraction cost the white dragon as a heavy duty spear sliced her side. Roaring, the white dragon's head turned spatting a fireball at the catapult crossbow launcher. The device exploded in a shower of charred wood shards and metal.<br><br>Flying off, the white dragon had difficulty staying aloft. Every so often dipping lower before rising up again. Unable to stay in the sky, the white dragon began a rapid descent. Skimming across treetops snapping branches off in the process till the great white dragon collided with the ground. Dirt and snow flying into the air. As the plume of dirt subsided, the white dragon laid there with a nasty gash in her side. Struggling to her feet, a pained, mournful sound filled the wooded area before she collapsed back down.&nbsp; If she didn't do something soon, the blood loss would be too extensive. Closing her eyes concentrating letting magic flow through her.&nbsp; A golden glow began to envelope her body. Gradually, the body of a dragon continued shrinking and reshaping till all that was left was a silvery-white haired naked elven woman. Swaying, she sank back to the ground on her knees. Dark red blood slowly rolling over pale, delicate flesh.

				"If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it." Riv dismounted his horse, and took the spear off the special holder on its flank. From the saddlebags, he pulled a strange collar. <br><br>The brawny man with green eyes walked into the clearing purposefully. His eyes never left the strange woman on the ground, who had so recently been a dragon. If someone had told him that dragons could transform like that, he would have thought they were drinking too much. But here, in the clearing at the heart of the Valley of Dragons, with the smell of gunpowder hanging so heavily in the air and the sounds of cannonfire vibrating the soles of his feet, he knew the truth. He wondered if it looked like an elf if it could understand elvish, or even common. <br><br>"If you surrender without a fight, dragon, I can save your life." Then, he repeated it again in broken elvish. <br><br>He didn't wait for an answer to close the distance. With his off hand, he clicked the collar open, ready to snap it back closed around a wrist or her neck. He wouldn't even need to adjust it to fit -- he was told there was something magical about it. That when it clicked back closed, it would fit comfortably around anything living. It would restrict the captive's magical abilities, and paired with the bracelet on his own wrist, allowed him some degree of control.<br><br>If he was strong enough, quick enough, or skilled enough, he could potentially get it around the dragon's neck before he was killed. There would only be a moment for her to act before he got his chance.

				Startled by the sound of a man's voice, Cerelia whirled around. Wincing from the pain of her injury. It felt as if her side was on fire. Eyes widening as her honey golden eyes locked with his. Heart pounding wildly within her chest. At first she stood there frozen. Mind racing with what to do. Running was the first thing which came to mind, but how far could she go with her injury? Perhaps a few miles before the blood loss and exhaustion took their toll. A shiver rippled through her naked form. Breasts bouncing with each ragged breath she took.<br><br>Tilting her head slightly when he spoke in elvish. While she understood it as it was one of the oldest languages in the world. Lips pursing. "How can you save my life? Your kind attacked those who were content to remain within their domain," Cerelia countered. The click caught her attention. Eyes falling towards the collar in his hand. Soft pink lips curling back in disgust and anger. "You dare use that foul device? I do not believe your words. You speak trickery."<br><br>Slowly, Cerelia began to back up trying to put more distance between them. Spying a branch near her feet which had broken off a nearby tree. Hurriedly, she grabbed it and hurled it towards the man hoping it would distract him long enough for her to escape. While the branch was airborne, Cerelia turned and began to run, albeit it shakily as she was not used to moving on two legs.

				Some of the elvish went over his head. Her defensive posture gave him the context clues he needed as to what she meant though. Riv had obviously spooked her, and the battle raging off in the distance didn't help. "I've tended wounds like that before. Especially someone like you would be able to survive if we can just stop the blee--" She cut him off with a string of elvish. Then she accused him of trickery, referring to the bracelet.<br><br>The branch almost clocked him in the head, but Riv parried it with his spear. It bounced harmlessly away with a <em>CLACK</em> when it met his spear shaft, and before it had even landed he was moving again. "If you don't give up, your wound will only get..." He didn't really know the word for "worse" in elvish. He just let it drop. As wounded and as unfamiliar with her own legs as she was, Riv overtook the dragon in only a few long strides. <br><br>He dropped the spear and seized her from behind. Riv clapped a hand on her shoulder, and as she was mid-stride tugged her forcibly back. He hoped it would be enough to pull her down so he could attach the bracelet -- or make it into a collar, if that was what was necessary. He wondered if he was even physically capable of wrestling a dragon in elven form -- the branch hadn't been particularly hard to block, but there was no telling what she could really do.

				Unsteady on her new found legs, Cerelia stumbled as she ran. She didn't dare look back over her shoulder. The sound of his footsteps told her he was close. Heart pounding. The only thought on her mind was run. Run as far as she could. Roars of battle and explosions only served to fuel her flight. She feared what might be happening to her dragonkin. Silently, Cerelia prayed they would be alright.<br><br>A surprised yelp escaped her lips as her forward momentum was stopped suddenly. Feet slipping out from underneath her. The world seemed to tilt and spin around her as the ground came up to meet her. Landing hard practically knocked the winds out of her. Growling, eyes flashing as she kicked and scratched at Riv wildly in an attempt to knock the bracelet away from him. Heat began to radiate off her body. Skin becoming increasingly hotter. Hotter then a normal human's, and hot enough that if someone touched it without protection they might get burned.

				Riv fended her scratches off, getting a few strikes to his arm. He straddled her where she lay, and put his weight down to pin her. As he felt her body get hotter, he committed to snatching her wrist with his open hand. With a grunt of pain and a <em>click</em>, the bracelet locked nicely around her wrist. Suddenly, the heat stopped. He stood up off of her, confident she wouldn't try to do him harm -- the bracelet would give her a good dose of pain if she tried -- and held his right hand. He hissed in pain, truly feeling the burn now in the open air.<br><br>"Perhaps I shouldn't fix you up," he growled back in common. He knew he didn't mean it, however, and no sooner had he said that than he picked the dragon girl back up to her feet, and guided her over to his horse. She would find she couldn't quite resist following him when he gave the command. He stood her next to the horse while he dug through his saddlebags. He wrapped his burned hand up, cursing quietly the whole time, and then proceeded to the dragon.<br><br>The bleeding needed to stop immediately. His shirt had some of her blood on it from their struggle earlier, but that small amount was nothing compared to what she must have been losing. It was really bad, and an elven woman of her size might have already passed out. He unceremoniously pulled out a bottle of alcohol and gauze bandages, and went to work despite any of her protestations. It probably hurt, but after a couple of minutes she had a bandage glued to her wound, stopping the bleeding handily.<br><br>In elvish, "I've put you back together. I want to know if you know common."

				Feeling him straddle her only made her thrash more. This was one of the reasons she rarely liked to change forms. This form was so much more vulnerable then her dragon form. The increase in heat her body was producing was more out of an instinct to survive. It wasn't done out of malice. All of a sudden it felt as if a bucket of ice cold water had been thrown upon her. She gasped feeling suddenly lightheaded.<br><br>Her mind whirling as she was picked up. Body on autopilot following Riv back to his horse. The bracelet compelling her to follow. Heart pounding when he advanced upon her again. Chest rising and falling with each ragged breath she took. Slowly, she backed up bumping against the horse. Her hand shot out to grab hold of the stirrup attached to the saddle. The burning of the alcohol against her wound caused Cerelia to cry out in pain. She tried to jerk away, to avoid more burning pain. Rapid pants causing her exposed breasts to bounce. Gradually, the pain began to subside as the bandage was applied stopping further bleeding.<br><br>Blinking, golden eyes watching him curiously. Lips pursing, tilting her head slightly. "I...I understand your tongue, human," Cerelia spoke softly, eyeing him warily. "Remove the bracelet, please." She tried to be polite. Being cut off from much of what she was disconcerting and left her feeling agitated.

				Riv was relieved she understood common. "The bracelet won't be coming off," Riv said.<br><br>In the distance, the sounds of battle grew louder and closer. "We don't have a lot of time, we have to leave." He physically&nbsp; took her by the shoulders and guided her into a place he could help her onto the horse from. In only a few moments, they were off at a canter. The clearing fell away behind them as they moved through the valley and deeper into the woods.<br><br>Some few miles to the east, there was a small hill and a cabin Riv had been using to bide his time. It had been lent to him by his employer, the one whom had an interest in capturing dragons for study. He intended to wait out the battle there, in the deeper part of the valley's woods, where dragons would have difficulty finding them. Riv guessed his captive had friends that would look for her.

				She tried to dig her heels into the ground. Cerelia wasn't about to leave her kin behind to fight and die fighting to preserve what had been theirs for centuries. She could feel her heart hammering wildly within her chest. Even when he grabbed her shoulders and maneuvered her towards his horse, Cerelia tried her best to resist. A few growls rumbled in her throat. Pain seared through her side where the wound was bandaged. The pain made the resistance fade as she went limp. Once on the horse, sitting against her captor was a bit awkward. The motion of the horse jostling her a bit. Biting her lower lip, wrapping her arms around the human male, body pressing against his in an attempt to hold on. A flash of sadness upon her angelic face looking towards the sight of the raging battle.<br><br>As they rode deeper into the forest, Cerelia was silent. Honey golden eyes occasionally looking about. The hairs on the back of her neck standing up. Something was out there. It wasn't any of her kin. This felt different. Sitting up a little straighter. Acute hearing picking up movement tracking them, running parallel to them on both sides. The corners of her mouth curving downward slightly. "Look out!" Cerelia shouted as someone clad in black from head to toe leapt down at them from a tree above. The attacker swung a metal quarter staff towards Riv's head in an attempt to knock him from his horse.
