Alex barely felt the wind and made adjustments for it without even thinking about it. he had been a dragon less than a day and was already comfortable. As he swooped over a rather long stretch of forest his heat vision picked up a moose running through the trees. at almost the same time he felt a spasmodic cramp in his abdomen and a loud rumble came from the same location.
Adjusting the tip of one wing he dove and leveled off behind the moose, scaring it off of its feet. Alex was merciful and crushed its head with one of his finger talons. it need not suffer for his betterment. alex downed the entire moose in one bite... and was instantly satisfied. Alex remembered his nanny telling him stories about dragons. she had told him once that a dragon could go a whole year without feeling even the slightest bit hungry.
bunching his leg muscles into five ton springs, he rocketed into the air. at one hundred and fifty feet Alex could see another of his kind, so he decided to go and see it. he landed fifty feet from the golden-red dragon. "I am Alex Louis... Wingstrong. " apparently his name had changed to better suit his new nature, he thought it was admireable and accepted it for the time being. "i come in peice and in search for the knowledge of how i came to this place." he looked down at the dragon, which couldn't have been more than thirty foot long.

The smallish dragon gave a yelp of shock and scuttled out of the way as the gargantuan dragon landed. "Watch it ye big buffoon!" It croaked, its head barely visible from within the mass of bushes it had leapt to safety in. It quickly slithered out however, when it realized that Armstrong was not going to oppose a threat to it. Not unless he wanted to, anyway. "That be quite a mouthful." It said with a chuckle, refering to the other dragon's name. "The names Crackletail. Or Crackle fer short." It added, cocking its head slightly and watching the mighty dragon in bemused puzzlement. "Ya wanna know HOW yer came here? Now that be sumthin new. You ain't born here?" It clawed itself up a nearby sapling, which was only just strong enough to support the small dragon's weight, and even then it swayed sligthly. Now that it was slightly higher, it no longer felt so intimidated by the massive beast. "I'd be surprised if ya said yer weren't. Technically there be no way possible ta get in here. Or out fer that matter. The currents are apparently too strong to let one through. Not that I would know...Its been quite a while since I last left the ground." He flapped meekly with the small wings on his shoulders, which were way to diminutive to support his sligthly serpentine body in air.

"Hmmm, that is news. I take it we two aren't the only here, I smell many on breeze." Wing strong recoiled at a pungent odor that had become mixed in with that of subtle but personal scents. "What is that smell? Its horrible."

Roze hadn't been awake for a while now, her body told her. She had been sleeping for a while. She felt the heavy sleepiness that came with sleeping for too long. That's how she knew. But then again, her whole body felt heavy... had she suddenly gained weight? She opened her eyes to see a lush, green valley. She noticed that her sight seemed... different somehow. Like she could see quite far away. She lifted her head... wait, she lifted it? She glanced down to see her head was quite a ways above the ground, and she panicked.. except she couldn't grab on to anything. It was as if only her head were that high... how could that be? She chanced a glance behind her and gasped! She was a dragon? Her body had a pink streak down the middle of a slim body, the rest being a darkish brown colour. She noticed she had four legs coming out of this body, slim as well, that ended in yellowed talons. Her... tail was also the same pink her hair had been, along with the stripe. The end of it ended in dual spikes, which she surmised to be for defense. She even found that she had wings, which she mentally told to expand. Not expecting it to work, she was quite suprised that it had indeed worked, and she was flying up. Her wingspan, she guessed, was about 10 meters long. She opened her mouth to try to spit something out, as she figured she was a dragon, and a bluish haze came out, freezing what it could settle over. I-ice breath...? she thought wildly. W-why do I have Ice Breath?
Shaking her head, she decided to try and find others. After all, wasn't that what would be expected? She didn't know where she was, or what she was supposed to do now that she was... like this. She just flew around until she spotted a weird... dragon, she supposed, and a dragon that looked like it could be a military member based on the coat it wore. Roze swooped down next to them, but instead of landing gracefully, she crashed landed, her legs spread out to the side of her. If not for the serious situation, it might have even been funny. Shaking her head, she lifted herself up and looked to both things. "W-what's going on here...? Why are we dragons...?" she questioned again, not realizing that they might be just as confused as she was.

Dorochette dropped some more grass and leaves on it before looking up at Barry. He looked the other dragon up and down once and poked him with the side of his tail. "Well if you feel like sitting on it I'm not stopping you but it would be a bad idea." He pointed out, trying not to laugh at the mental picture of the amrou dragon sitting on the egg like a chicken. "You're probably too....heavy and beside you're cold." The chimera dragon explained as he stopped himself from saying clumsy. Thus the reason why he had poked the other dragon, to feel if the armour dragon was, as he had suspected, cold of 'skin'. "Where did you say you found it?" Dorochette than asked, unable to stop his curiousity.

"That be an understatement. This is the only place left fer those of dragon kind ta seek cover. Man-kind don' know about this place, mainly 'cus we cayn't getta outta here. So I'd say we're a healthy bunch." The small reptile lifted his head slightly, also taking in the scent of the wind. "Hm...That be a foul egg or sumthin in that ordar. Be one of them youngling females, they tend to abandon their first clutch. Tsch, kids nowadays..."
---
Barry would have scowled slightly if he was able to, but he resorted merely to rustle his tail in irritation. "As though I would, that would be stupid." He glanced back at the hole at the canine's inquiry. "Down there. There was somekind of underground chamber, I punched a hole into it. Theres an entire dragon skeleton in there, I couldn't even get the head through. They must've been abandoned for some time."

Envy turned to look at the new dragon which had come over. . .It was another feminine dragon. Oh goody, more pretty pink dragons! Just what HIS valley needed! ”The hell if I know. That’s what I’m trying to figure out here. So I take it you’re also from Amestris also?” the disgusting “dragon” asked Rose.
***
Gluttony followed Lust along. ”Wherever you want to go, Lust!”. Gluttony had a hard time keeping focused on following Lust due to all the delicious innocent little animals they passed by, but reluctantly followed her anyway.
The pair eventually happened to come up upon a very old looking black dragon. He rivaled Gluttony in size, but looked somewhat feeble due to his age (He even had a beard, quite rare for dragons) rather then muscle-bound, though he actually wings that could function properly. The dragon looked over at Gluttony and shook his head in disgust. ”It seems you humans are really as bad as they say if that’s what one of you turns into upon being brought here. . .This was a waste of time. I should’ve just moved on to wiping out your kind entirely.”

Dorochette looked at the hole for a moment before deciding to take a peek in it. "Those dragon eggs must be quite resistant." Dorochette commented as he inspected the hole. "You're quite a digger, ...66 right?" The canine dragon asked. "Or do you have an actual name?" He added.

Barry nodded slightly, and shifted aside as the canine went by. He slid over to the egg, turning his head upside down so he could get a peek of it. "Thanks. Er-" He looked up sheepishly. "Barry. The names Barry."

"Well I'm Dorochette, or just Doro. Not that you have to care but still sounds better than 'oi you there', right?!" Dorochette joked light hearted as he inspected the hole where the dragon skeleton was. "Wow that was one big mommy." He commented before eventually getting back out. "I wonder how it got there in the first place."
Lust gave the new aquatance a look as she and Gluttony ran into him. He was about Gluttony when it came to size but he looked quite some smarter. Maybe the beard added to the effect (not to mention a dragon with a beard was quite an odd sight). On some way the dragon seemed to demand respect (probably because he looked so old) but that though quickly got compleetly ereased of Lust her thoughts as the dragon spoke (she added to it by considering that Envy after all was centuries old as well but didn't demand that much in wisedom either). "Humans?" She said disgust nearly dripping of her voice. "You should do well checking things before speaking." She said coldly. "It might be so that we aren't like from nature but we surely weren't humans either before." Lust sai haughty. It was true that she wanted to become human to regain her memories but it didn't mean that she couldn't be compleetly disgusted by those humans. "And who might you be to speak such a hostile words to unknowns, it would be more careful to know you enemies before causing wars."

Alex raised his head some, he had caught a different scent. after a moments thought he realized that this was a much more pungent odor, like the concentrated stink of a homonculus. Alex's roar echoed through the whole valley as he shoved off of the ground, making a crater fifteen foot deep with his back legs. soaring into the air he took in his surroundings and straight across the valley was a group of dragons ranging in size, from abut his size to a little larger than a goat.
but it was the big one that caught his eye. it looked exactly like the homunculus envy in his true form. with the added context of wings and a couple of new abilities, though he couldn't grasp this new sense well enough to explore the possibilities. he was pretty high up now so he just kind of glided over to them unannounced and landed behind slicer. "slicer report!"
alex, like in his other form, towered over most others. there were a few who stood up to his stature, such as the homunculus who was walking away. if he had any indication that the homonculus wasn't in complete control over the other dragons alex would have attacked. but right now he was just surveying the forcefulness of his enemy.
just then he felt a spark of something in his brain. some other presence besides his own. another intelligence that he immediately recognized as the former occupant of this mind. he thought in his own head, "who are you?" but did not speak out loud.
"I am Black Wing, the red wings bane, true occupant of this body. you may call me Death, for that is what I bring. now leave my body." Alex was taken aback at that comment. he had always assumed he would be in the body of a good dragon. but never though about the possibility of evil dragons. this may prove more difficult than he thought.
alex thought for as moment then replied to himself,"Black wing, i am no more capable of leaving your body than you are of evicting me from it. so for now we are stuck together. do not hinder my progress." having said that he shut out the dragon mind, confining it to the cold dark, damp cell of the subconscious. that would prove to be a bad tactic as it will eventually drive him towards being evil.

"No no, I get your drift." He said, lumbering down into the hole where Dorochette had been examining the skeleton. "Yeah...Looks like she was sealed or something. Pretty gruesome..." He poked his nose to the small crack, though remembered that he couldn't smell. "Ah well..." He shifted slightly. "Uh...about the egg...what do we do you reckon?" -- The small red dragon was swept off the tree with a startled chirp as the massive dragon took off without warning. "Oi! Watch where yer goin will ya!" It yelled indignantly, shaking its head as it picked itself up. "How rude can ya be? Geez..." -- Slicer was in his own thoughts as he ambled along the beach. In fact, he no longer held control over his body, instead it was his brother that had taken the lead, which the frequent bursts of speed in his gait signaled clearly. He gave a wild twitch of terror, diving desperately out of the way as the sudden shadow slid over him with a rumble of wind, the booming voice sounding above him. He landed on the sand, with his paws over his head protectively, though he quickly scrambled to his feet in surprise. "Major Armstrong sir!" The major was the last person he would have expected to be there. He shifted uncomfortably. "Er-well-" He trailed off as the massive golden dragon seemed caught up in its own thoughts, so he thought it best to wait until further response.

Roze looked over to the ugly-looking dragon who spoke to her. "So I take it you're like me... I'm from Lior, if that's what you mean. I don't really know if I like the Military so much... they did take away our hope that we did have. So I'm not sure how I am on these types..." She sighed. "Well... do you want to try and find somebody who does know what's going on?" she asked the dragon, not knowing who it was quite yet.

Dorochette nodded in agreement about the gruesomeness of the state of the dragon and the eggs. "Ummm...I'm not sure." The chimera dragon frowned. "It would be rather cruel to leave it to its fate." He pointed out. "Maybe if we found some female dragon." He suggested. "There should be some of them around. They could take it of our han...claws."

The elderly dragon stroked his beard and chuckled. ”I don’t care if you’re some other obscure sub-breed of humans. You’re ultimately all the same to me. . .I used a spell to bring some humanoids at random here from across the globe to see if there were any humans who weren’t evil to see if their race was capable of producing individuals with any good in them, but you humans are all utterly disgusting creatures, so I’ll just have to move on to the extermination of your disgusting kind. . .Hahahahahahahaha. . .Soon vengeance shall be ours. . .”.
***
Envy shrugged his shoulders. ”That’s what I’ve been doing, but I haven’t been able to find anyone yet. You can follow me, if you want. After all, I –am- the ruler of this valley. . .”. Envy grimaced.

Roze shook her head. "You're the leader of this valley?" she questioned. She didn't think that to be quite true. "Don't you think that a real dragon would be the leader of this valley, if there is such a thing? I think we need to be on a look out for a real one so they can tell us how to control our bodies." Roze nodded her head. "Yeah... I think I might tag along... after all, I don't know reallly how to defend myself in this body..."

Lust looked the elderly dragon over again deciding she found him compleetly and utterly rediculous. "Sub-breed?" She said in disgust. Well that wasn't quite flattering. "So you are the idiot who caused this? And if you look for some good I'm sure there must be some goody-two-shoes around, you just happened to walk into the wrong two grandpa." She said mockingly. "Beside revenge for what?" She added as she couldn't help but be curious at that.

Barry shifted slightly at the mention of females. "Guh. Females. Bring nothing but trouble despair and stress if ya ask me. But I guess you're right." He would have made a grimace if it was possible. "We should." He gestured at the egg. "Find a mother to adopt it I mean."

Dorochette nodded as he looked at the egg thoughtfull. "It would be rather unresponsible to leave in no?" He asked doubtful. "Maybe we should take it along." He suggested.
