x✘XBANNEDX✘x History/Plot:

Dragon Shifters have lived in peace among the humans in the Kingdom of Sevicia for generations. It was common to see dragons of all shapes and sizes waltz down streets and take flight in the skies. That was until the young King lost his whole family to a murderous dragon shifter. The murderer fled, with the King being the only witness and the murderer no where to be found. After that faithful event, the King banned all dragon shifters from his kingdom. This sent the Kingdom's people into a panic, for one third of the population was made up of dragon shifters. And more importantly, the dragon shifters were Sevicia's main defense against other enemy Kingdoms.

In response to the King's proclamation, dragon shifters fled or went into hiding. Rumors quickly spread across the Kingdom of dragon shifters allying to stand up to the King and bring an end to a dragon-less kingdom. The King sent out a dragon watch at night to stop any people from leaving their homes after curfew. He also sent out spies to get information about the new dragon rebel group. If any dragon shifters were spotted, they were captured then brought to the King for the King's Castle. Those who went in never came out. (Some people claim he has a room full of dragon heads to admire whenever he so pleases.) The original loving King of Sevicia was no longer. In his place stood a ruthless dragon hunter, whose soul purpose in life is to eliminate those of dragon blood. Nothing will stop him from finding the killer that took his family and make them pay. Unless that is the deep dark secret of his own.

Appearance:
In my human form I stand at 5' 11". I'm one of my father's soldiers so I must be in tip top shape for public appearances and to act if trouble arises. I have mild white skin, with a slight tan from being outside when I have the free time. I have light blue eyes that are almost considered grey. On my left eye I have two old scars crisscrossing each other that I got a few years back. Due to my old injury connected to my face scars, I am partly blind in my left eye. By just looking into my eye in broad daylight, you wouldn't be able to tell. However, in the dark you might be able to tell. My hair is an auburn color and can be more of a problem than I wish it to be. I bare scars mainly on my legs and a few on my stomach plus my back. They are most noticeable in my dragon form. I wear dark trousers and a dark top with my chest bound with cloth. I wear lace up boots that keep my feet comfortable throughout my day. And lastly I have the Dragon shifter emblem tattooed on both my shoulders, which my father had done so others would know that I was a dragon shifter.

In my dragon form, I take on two shades of red. Apart from my dragon form being mostly red, my belly is black and the underside of my wings are a light blue color. My tail fur and my hind ankle fur are the same color as well. Long, sharp, pointy spikes run down my spine, ending just before my tail fur. I also have a few spikes protruding from my temple and cheek. As I had mentioned before, I have scars mainly on my legs but a few here and there are on my actual flank. My eye color is yellow instead of blue and I still bare the Dragon Shifter Emblem tattoos on my left and right shoulders. My feet are more like dragon paws than dragon talons. My claws are sharp but don't do the same extended damage as other dragon talons do. Overall, I'm fairly small for a dragon, meaning I get overlooked a lot which I often use to my advantage. I stand at a height of 7 ft. I am only a foot and two inches higher than my human height. From the tip of my nose to the tip of my tail I have a length of about 15 feet, give or take.

Personality:
It’s funny you may ask this. Depending on who you talk to we may or may not share the same opinion. Well for starters I'm a soldier, so I must be aware of my surroundings and be able to identify people who might pose as a threat to the Kingdom. So to sum it all up, I guess you can consider me someone who is very observant to details. As a soldier you are suppose to be serious at all times and show little to no emotion. I am usually serious when I am out in public but sometimes I must blend in with the people so I become one of them. I consider myself a good actor. When I'm alone with (your character's name), I cast all formalities aside for the time being; unless ordered not to. I also would consider myself a good listener. I might not talk a lot when I am in a public atmosphere but I do see and notice things the average person might not pick up on. I'm very outgoing when I'm alone, training with other soldiers or the King himself. I can be caring at times to others when formalities allow it, though a lot of times I must wait to do so in private. I welcome any kind of challenge that come my way, even if it is a challenge I do not appreciate. I can have fun but I know my boundaries that I must not cross, though sometimes I can't help but cross.

History:
My history isn't really a great one so I'll try to keep this short. I was born to a Duke and Duchess twenty-three years ago. My mother was a very kind and caring mother who loved me wholehearted. My father on the other hand wasn't so thrilled about me. He had been expecting a boy to later take on his title, role, and estate. The only ups about me being a girl was that he would get a handsome amount of money through my marriage contract when I came of age. As I grew older I constantly tried to win his approval but to no prevail. I tried my hardest to act the part of the son he so desperately wanted. I practiced fencing, archery, math equations, and took part in other male activities that females were looked down upon if practiced. Instead of my father being pleased like I was expecting him to be, I only made things worse, making him furious. In response to my accomplishments, he punished me in different ways. But his punishments never stopped me from continuing to try and prove myself worthy. One day he couldn't take it anymore. He sent me to one of his military training camps to get rid of me and to make me experience the hardships of the military. My mother later died in childbirth while I was away training. My father blamed me for her death, for what reasons I don't know. He was grieving a great loss for his weird and his stillborn son. I wished to come home, to take a break from my training. My father flat out refused me. I found out later that he had married his mistress again and she had managed to bare him twin sons. My father was filled with joy and pride. However, his happiness would not be fulfilled until he became the King's adviser.

Sweeney is a very manipulative dragon shifter. Well, of course. Due to his hypnosis he's learned how to get what he wants most of the time. Sweeney is a very harsh dragon, and very cunning. Wise from his age. But tells nobody how wise. Instead he uses his advantage. Sweeney always seemed to be cruel and ruthless. But nobody knew how bad. Hes got a terribly dark sense of humor and anybody who dares to challenge him.. They usually back down. Lets say that much. Sweeney tends to only his selfish needs. Sweeney doesn't usually go by his first name, but mainly Todd. At least in his human form. Dragon form he goes by Sweeney. He doesn't feel at home until he's in his dragon skin. Sweeney is a loyal companion though, once you obtain his trust. But its hard to get him to trust others. Very closed off to the world. Sweeney acts very kind and mannerly. Courteous one could say. But he doesn't care for what others think about him, as long as he can get his way. Sweeney puts on a good show for new people he meets. He acts kind and calm. Sweet and wonderful. But he's' very hostile, and harsh. Extremely over critical. While he thinks hes perfect.

Appearance wise he's a sight that's for sure. Dragon and human. Must swoon over him but he's got no interest in a love life. He uses his powers to hide his face scars in human disguise. But only the ones on his face. If he speaks in a raged voice they seem to fade back onto his face.
His human figure, he's got obsidian hair, while he's got a silver streak running through it. He seems to have black or purple eyes. Occasionally white if enraged. And his complexion as pale as the moonlight.
In his dragon form he seems to take the form of an arcane dragon. But he's nowhere near it. He's a death and darkness dragon. But only learning his darkness and death skills. He mostly knows hypnosis and crystal-like powers at the moment. His scars show in his dragon form. Against his purple and pink boned starry skin. He's got dinosaur like talons while his forearms are more flexible for attacking one on one. His talons do most damage though. He's got ebony scars running up and down both legs, and both fore arms. While one across his right eye. And rare for him, also ebony antlers.

Alanza's heart pounded loudly in her chest as she stood with arms behind her back, waiting to take orders from her King and her general...father. They had called a meeting around the very early morning in the King's royal study. The discussion the king and her father were having started to heat up with the feeling of urgency in the room.

War was upon their beloved Kingdom of Sevicia, yet it had not been made offical. For who declares war on an enemy they aren't even sure are a threat? Both the King and the General had a basic idea of what group was behind the raids and killing of royal soldiers. The group was a rebel group made up of dragon shifters who weren't so happy about being outcast from their lands. Alanza couldn'y blame them for feeling that way. As the threat of attack approached the royal city Alanza started to feel like she was caught up in the middle of the war being a dragon shifter that served the King. She started to question herself more often as to where her alliances lay; with her kind or with the King.

"Alanza? Snap out of it. We have a mission for you so pay attention!" General Arvel snapped at Alanza, causing her to blink twice and focus first on her father's scowling face, then her King.

"My apologies. My mind was elsewhere. It won't happen again." Alanza reasurred the King with a deep bow.

The young King nodded at Alanza before pointing at the general. "We have chosen you to take on a top secret mission under my command. As you well know we are starting to become under attack of dragon shifter rebels." The King growled at the disgusting word. "We are unsure of the exact location of where they set up their forces or of who their leaders are."

Alanza held her breath, knowing what the mission was befor the King had clearly stated what it was. She might as well die now.

"This is where you come in. We need someone on the inside who can earn the rebel leaders trust without causing suspicion. I will have a messenger waiting in the closest town to where we believe the rebels to be camping out. You are to send word to me every two to three days to not appear suspicious." The King leaned back in his chair and eyed Alanza. "You are to tell no one of our plans or I will have your head! Am I understood?" The King asked as he twisted the ring on his left thumb.

Alanza took in a breath of air and pushed through to get the words out. She bowed with her knee on the floor, her hand on her heart, and her eyes fixed on the King. "You have my word as a loyal servant to the crown that I will not tell a single soul of what has been spoken hear today. I will succeed in my task or die trying!" Alanza spoke with great understanding of what would happen if she failed. Not only would she die but those she deems prescious would be taken down by her father.

The King nodded his head in approval. "Very good. Your mission starts now."

Alanza moved to stand only to fall back to the ground at the blackening of her vision.

The King looked on at the slumped over figure of his former body guard. His dark eyes moved to his general who held a wooden clumb in his hand that had fallen his daughter. "Make haste General. And see that she is delivered to the location we agreed on. Our very hope might very well lay in her paws. Make it look convincing." The King ordered, then watched as the woman's arms and legs were bound, her mouth gagged, then stuffed into a grain sack to be transported by royal soldiers in peasant attire. "Now go!" The King roared making those in his presence hasten to do his bidding.

Some Time Later...

Alanza awoke to the sound of someone groaning. When her eyes opened she discovered it was her own self who was groaning. With effort Alanza tried to make her eyes focus with the terrible headache she had. Her body rocked from side to side making the urge to hurl up her breakfast very great. When her eyes focused Alanza could see light coming in through small holes in the fabric around her. She came to a quick conclusion that she was in a bag and was in a moving wagon. This infuriated her like nothing else. She did not face the torture of becoming a soldier only to be knocked out, tied up, gagged, and thrown in a stupid sack.

Her ears were perked for any sign of voices. After streching her hearing to her highest capacity she heard mens voices. And with those voices came the slowing of the cart until it came to a complete stop. "This should be far enough. Now let's finish the deed and be out of here."

Alanza felt herself being picked up then suddenly thrown on the ground. Through her gag she made a sound of protest. In response she felt her breath leave her as the men keeping her captive started to kick and punch her. She took the beatings until her entire body felt numb. Her eyes started to droop from exhaustion but Alanza forced herself to stay awake.

Things couldn't possibly get worse until she felt the bag being opened. The bag was ripped out from under her body leaving her eyes to face the harsh sun glistening on her face. She turned her head weakly to look into the eyes of her tormentors only to feel a sharp jab in her side that made a cry escape her lips.

"That should do it. His highness said a dragon can smell another dragon's blood from miles away. If the rebels are out there, it shouldn't take long for them to come find her. Now lets move before they find us."The man ordered.

Alanza tried to take deep breaths through her nose and tried desperately to keep her eyes open because she had no idea if she'd wake up if she allowed herself the need to close her eyes. The man left her with hope, not fear, for soon someone should be by to pick her up and put the pieces back together. With that thought in mind, Alanza lost the battle to keep her eyes open.

(OOC: Wow that is long! Know that my first posts are normally really long so feel free to write less than I did. Let the games begin! Also sorry if you see random hashtags floating around. My computer was acting weird.)

[rottenmutt]

Sweeney knew what had to be done, he knew the dragons had to cause more trouble. They were being punished, treated like jesters. Fools. He had enough. He uttered his words to his loyal companion, his best friend. Cloud Ventus. Cloud always had Sweeneys back. Cloud never showed his human form, some didn't believe he even had one. But one thing was for sure, Cloud was a sneaky dragon.

Sweeney spoke to Cloud on a stormy night. "We have to go farther with this rebellion. The royals are rising up. The king is sure to send a army soon. We need to recruit more shifters." Sweeney spoke in a hiss. "What do you suppose we do? I'm thinking you can start by hypnotizing some more knights and mage's." Cloud spoke in a convincing tone. When Sweeney stood up tall, thought processing. "that's it," he hissed. "That's all it takes.. We can attack the castle soon enough. With your spiritual skills, and my hypnosis. Plus all the other dragons elements and everything else... That's how we'll regain our homes." Sweeney spoke with a devilish grin spreading across his face.

Soon after...

Sweeney was a dragon shifter rebel. Actually the head of the group, but nobody knew their leader. Because it was 'top secret'. Nobody could know due to the sake of the rebels. But he acted like a normal rebel. A normal dragon shifter. He was passing through the small town in his human form. In his human form, going by the name of Todd. But all the rebels knew him as Sweeney. He then he caught the scent of another dragon. Its blood. He knew it would be risky to shift. So he didn't for the sake of himself.

Sweeney sprinted down a long road. From the town to a little spot in the forest quicker then light it seemed. Dragons had to have each others back, right? Sweeney ran across the cobblestone that switched to dirt when he got from the town. He tilted his head looking around. Something wasn't right over here. Something was terribly off. But he had to shake off his feelings. When he saw the she dragon in the dirt. Beaten and bruised. Her blood in the dirt. He knelt down to her. "Excuse me, ma'am?" he asked the dragon girl. Her ears were flat against her skull it seemed. Sweeney kicked up his hearing.

Listening into the bushes and heard the voices of men. Ready for an ambush it seemed. "No," he growled to himself. He figured the men would jump out, but he had to act normal. At least until they think they'd "catch him off guard". Sweeney stood up to his feet. His human form obvious. He eyed down the area. Someone was going to push themselves out of the bush, and attack him. He knew there was a eerie feeling. He glanced at the dragon, she didn't look familiar to the rebellion. Was she a spy?!

{its fine, long posts are great.;v;}

[Valeska]

"Excuse me, ma'am?"

Alanza's grey eyes snapped open at the sound of a masculine voice. Instinctively she was on guard, having no idea if the man was friend of foe. Her breath came in huffs as she tried not to panic for when she looked around she didn't recognize her surroundings. Attempting to sit up she grit her teeth to push through the pain engulfing her entire body. The pain was so bad that she started to see stars. 'Come on Alanza, hang in there.' With further investigation she found herself to be bleeding from a gash in her ribcage. Then her memory came rushing back.

"I swear if I find those scoundrel's I'll kill them!" She growled as she hugged her aching body. Doing a more in depth look over her injuries Alanza realized she was in pretty bad shape. Her right eye was sealed closed making her bad scarred eye the only functioning eye she had to work with. Alanza used her left hand to apply pressure to her wound, hoping to stop the bleeding.

Sudden movement in the corner of her eye caused her to spring up onto her feet. Alanza's grey-blue eyes looked to see the man she had momentarily forgotten was nearby. Alanza's body was so whacked out that she didn't even both to smell the surrounding area or see if the man before her was a dragon shifter or not. On swaying legs Alanza flipped her auburn hair behind her shoulder and took a full head to toe examination of the man before her. The man had a pail complexion, obsidian hair with a white streak, and strange colored eyes. Alanza let out and laugh when she was done examining him. The man looked ridiculous! "Who are you? The royal jester?" Alanza joked as she shoved past Sweeny to make her way down the road, away from the town.

Not being in her right mind, Alanza limped and staggered down the road not really knowing what she was looking for or where she was heading. The only thing for she knew for certain was that her body was a wreck and she needed to stop the bleeding in her side.

(OOC: Sorry it was kind of short. I was having low muse today. Maybe it has to do with the cloudy weather where I live.)

[rottenmutt]

Sweeney listened to her words. Obviously she was out of her mind, she spoke under her breathe and muttered something he didn't understand. Sweeney simply asked if she was okay, and she made fun of him. Royal Jester? Royal Jester?! As Alanza pushed him away to walk away. Sweeney shouted in almost a roar."Royal Jester!?" His eyes filled with rage. They went from pink to black in a instant. Sweeney had no room for jokes in him. Sweeney never understood jokes, he hated them honestly. The scars of his eye that he hid with his powers now showed themselves. The charcoal scars, from something of another world it seemed. His eyes widened, and he slowly shifted into a dragon. His wings first, then his arms and legs. Until he was at a full blown dragon. Taking flight he kept going until he skidded to a stop in front of her. "You will NEVER call me a royal jester again!" voice booming, echoing through the whole forest they were by. "Do not disrespect me ever!" Sweeney's eyes glowed with anger. The smoke coming from his eyes, you could tell he was angry.

When he heard something in the bushes. Voices? It happened to be the two guys who beat Alanza down to the ground. Sweeney's eyes wide. He looked at Alanza. "You led them here! Fool!" he hissed at her. Sweeney hated pure bred humans. What foul, what disgusting creatures they were. Taking flight, he swooped down grabbing both men and let out a tremendous roar. Speaking to the humans "hypnotize, hypnotize. itaque sub mea dextera. usque ad click de bell. sed non click campanis, ut 'dolum." his eyes filled with a sea of rage. The humans seemed under a spell. What he said meant ...hypnotize, hypnotize. you are now under my spell. until the click of a bell. but bells don't click, so that's the trick. "Now, humans. Foul, foul humans. Walk to the peak of the mountain, and never come back down." Sweeney said in a fit of rage. He dropped the humans, and they walked away. "Drooling idiots.." he groaned, with a smug look of displeasure on his face. "Where are you going off to in such a hurry?" he spoke to Alzana and transformed back into a human. Feeling a little drained now. He always felt more and more drained the more angry he got when he shifted.

[Valeska]

Alanza focused on putting one foot in front of the other. She had never been drunk a day in her life but guessed that what she was currently experiencing was what it felt to be intoxicated. In her mind she made a note to herself to never drink excessively anytime in the future. Ever so slowly she started to feel her body healing itself. Dragon shifters had the unusual ability to heal their body, healing three times as fast as it would take humans to fully heal.

A loud yell met her ears as she continued walking, causing her to halt and turn around to face “Royal Jester Man”. It just happened to be that very nickname that caused the loud outburst. Alanza was just…jesting. She didn’t think it was that big of a deal but apparently the guy before her thought so.

Alanza watched with hidden amazement as Sweeney’s anger made hidden face scars appear, causing him to turn into a two legged dragon with little arms. His body had a unique purple and pink color with stars everywhere. She hid her smirk when she saw the rack of antlers that rested on his head. It was quite obvious that the dragon shifter before her was a death and darkness dragon. Alanza had heard stories of what those breeds of dragons were capable of but this was the first one she had ever come in contact with.

Muscles in her injured body tensed painfully when Sweeny took flight. Alanza was prepared for a fight even if she was in no state to be doing so. Her greyish eyes watched with an emotionless face as the dragon landed right in front of her. His tall stature loomed over her as he yelled in her face, making a point to never disrespect him or make fun of him again. Alanza watched with interest as smoke came out of his eyes and the color of his eyes darkened.

She opened her mouth to speak when Sweeny got distracted by noises in the bushes. Alanza glanced in the direction he was fixed on and tried not to groan. The stupid idiots hadn’t left yet. If they weren’t careful, they might blow her cover. Not that she even really had one at the moment. It also took great effort for her not to roll her eyes at their stupidity. Her silence was broken however when Sweeney called her an idiot for leading them here. How was she supposed to know they were still around? All of her senses were off from being beaten. With his rude comment came the opening of her injured eye. “I am far from being an idiot considering I am still in my human form and you let your anger overrule your body. That is a perfectly good waste of energy.”

Crossing her arms, Alanza watched in dismay as the death and darkness dragon said a spell over the guards to send them up a mountain and never come back. A groan escaped her lips as the guards left her sight as if under a spell. She was going to have to give an explanation to The King and her father as to why two of their top guards disappeared. The King would not be happy about it and would most likely take in out on her as punishment. Realizing a little too late that she had groaned out loud, Alanza hoped he assumed she was groaning about her injuries. She wanted to state that what he had just done wasn’t necessary but that would just place suspicion on her head.

With a shake of her head Alanza started down the road again, trying to find a nearby water source. Her senses were starting to become more alert but her body still could use some work. Suddenly Alanza felt an unwanted surge of energy build up inside her until it was released throughout her body making her momentarily invisible. She held her breath, hoping the shifter behind her hadn’t noticed or that he assumed it was her imagination. Dragon shifter with the ability to turn invisible were extremely rare and were worth a lot of money on the dragon shifter black market. That’s why she took care as to when, why, and with whom she used her power.

A genius thought came to her at the last second. She would test the shifter behind her and see how he responded. If he was part of the rebel group and saw potential in her, he would most likely want to recruit her. Then she’d get an easy access into their midst. That is, if she was right about him being a rebel.

After a few seconds had past after her first glitch Alanza intentionally made herself turn invisible but held it longer then the first time. The second she was visible again she took off running into the left part of the woods, holding the strongest scent of dragons. Little did she know she was on the correct course heading for the Rebel's hideout. Her adrenaline spiked and her body muscles screamed at her but she refused to let that stop her experiment. As she pushed her way farther into the forest another thought occurred to her. What if the dragon shifter used the spell thing he did on guards. How did it work and would it work on her? To test Sweeney’s tracking skills and senses she made herself invisible for medium amounts of time before reappearing again, wanting to see if he could still find her. With effort Alanza continued to push on.

[rottenmutt]

Sweeney glanced at her. Ignoring her comment. With a snort he stared at her as if disgusted and appalled. How could a dragon get caught by those humans? Fools. Humans were no good and had to be taken out. Sweeney lashed his tail around watching the girl. As he slowly shifted into his human form and his facial scars faded quickly. By that time.. She was no longer there? Where was she? Was she a spy? No she couldn't be. Not very smart. But not a spy, right? Sweeneys eyes widened at the thought. Invisibility. She was just as rare as he was. Most dragon shifters weren't able to turn invisible. Or command death. Tilting his head he caught her scent in the air. It was strong. And it was.. Going towards the rebels hideout?! What was she doing?! Sweeney didn't transform, not wanting to show or lead any humans to where the hide out was. But he walked into the woods pretty casually until he looked back, not seeing the dirt road they were once on a couple minutes ago. Narrowing his eyes, he was now covered from the road. Overgrown foliage making it difficult to see anything from inside the woods to the road. Good. Sweeney took off into a sprint. His tail lashed around. Staying focused as ever. Swiftly leaping over logs, and running through streams. While avoiding hitting any trees or boulders that happened to be in the way. He stayed close on her trail. Invisible though.. How would he know when he found her? Sweeney kept going and going. Until her scent was as strong as ever Beas she next to him? Behind him? Sweeney needed to get her away from the rebel hideout. As their leader, he knows exactly what they do to trespassers. It looks like a normal town.. But in the woods. And had a hex under it so no mere humans could see it. But that only lasted 72 hours. While it took 24 hours for the dragon who lays the spell upon it 24 hours to recharge and use the hex once more. Sweeney was very silent but spoke sternly. Hoping she was nearby to hear him. "Listen, Madame.." Speaking in a bitter time saying that. "You need to reveal yourself. This is no game.youll get yourself hurt if you go any farther." Speaking in a genuinely concerned tone for once. Her scent was extremely strong at this point. Maybe if she passed the tests, she could become one of them? How glorious. A wonderful idea. But she'd have to pass his tests, and then train to become a official rebel. It was a little odd. Nobody knew Sweeney was the lord of the rebels. But it had to stay this way for his safety. He'd be killed if seen and they knew who he was. Nobody knows of him being the master except his friend. Who's more of a father figure if anything. Once taking care of Sweeney after abandoned during the "accident". Eyes going back and forth. Looking to see if she'd appear.

[Valeska]

The closer Alanza came to the scent of dragons, the more her dragon side wanted to appear. She tried to rein in the need to shift but finally gave into her want. Coming to a halt while still in her invisible state Alanza’s muscles, bones, organs, and skin started to shift into the red and blue dragon she was accustomed to on a daily basis. When her transformation was complete, she flexed her muscles, stretched her wings, and lashed her tail. Her yellow beady eyes took in the forest around her, while her nose and ears were searching for an indication of how close Sweeney was from her location. To her surprise, Alanza detected him not too far away. No matter how tempting it was to take off and leave him, she had to focus on her mission. Become a rebel, find the rebel leader, and leak information back to the King. And she needed to get on this guy’s good side to do that.

Alanza sat her red haunches on the forest floor, curled her spiked tail around her feet, as she waited for the other shifter to find her. Looking down over her body, she saw that the shift had indeed healed most of her injuries. Her body was still really sore but she wasn’t going to whine about it. Alanza could feel her energy draining after having run so far then shifting into her second form. Looking around her she didn’t see or hear any game to her irritation but determined it was for the best. If her prediction was correct, it wouldn’t take long for her to be accepted in the rebel camp. The rebel camp was another reminder of the precious cargo she had left closer to home. With luck she would be able to return to her home to check in fairly soon.

The sound of Sweeney asking for Alanza to show herself reached her red ears. Alanza made a clacking sound with her teeth; the sound would for sure lead Sweeney to her. And no doubt it did. When he came into her sight she gave him a nod of her head. “I’m impressed. You tracked me pretty well. I always stump the humans but I can stump my own kind as well.” Her yellow eyes watched as Sweeney came closer. “I take it you work for the rebel group, correct? It was kind of obvious when you showed your hatred towards those two humans.” Alanza gave a dragon smirk. “If it isn’t already obvious I’d like to join the resistance. The name’s Alanza, at your service!” With that she waited for Sweeney’s response. She was kind of self-conscious about the dragon tattoos on her shoulders because it marked her as the human elites’ property. That might bring up unwanted questions. Alanza was ready to answer them to her best ability if any came up.
