[When Xzana awoke the first thing she realized was that she was NOT in her lake as she should be. The new clothes didn't phase her as she was too busy trying to figure out what happened to all the water, then there was the discomfort to her back. Reaching back she found something was attached there! What was going on!?]

Who did this!? What sorcery is this!? Come out!

[Scared and confused Xzana does what she thinks is the smart choice and pulls. Wanting the offending thing OFF of her. At the sound of the snap the comes and the pain that quickly follows tell her right away what a bad idea it was. She snaps her head back in a roar.]

RWWRRRRRAAAARRRRH!

[The half breed dragon stumbles towards town. Her small Luceti broken wing dangling at an odd angle between her large pair. She growls under her breath as she searches for water, hoping to keep any creature who may find her an easy meal right now away, as she blindly stumbles her way around the edge of town.]

(OOC: Warning, as she's injured her flight or fight is on high alert. She WILL attack any character that just rushes up at her. Approaching her slowly will be fine, just know she'll bite if someone gets in her personal space too quickly. Also don't be afraid to break time and space in this post!)

What kind of sorcery do they use to manage that?

Katara said it's called "Shifting", but I don't know anything else about it.

Hm. Interesting, no one here has been able to stop it then?

Nope! Some people have been here for years. New people - like you and me, 'cept you're newer - show up in white clothes like yours and generally look confused and stuff. It's been happening a lot lately, and people told me it happens in cycles.

Years? Humans have been here for years and haven't found how to lower that barrier? [Years is nothing to Xzana, but she's starting to understand that a year is a long time for most humans.]

Yep! And people don't stay dead. [ important information. ] Anyway, do you live in the water? 'Cause I guess you don't need to get housing if you do.

[Wait, wait, wait, wait... wait.] I think you may be mistaken by death.

Nope. 'Cause people come back after one week if they die. Usually. [ Ikki pauses. ] Grandpa says it's 'cause the world knows we don't belong to it, but it takes a week for it to notice and send us back.

Death does not work like that. It does not care who you are or where you are. It just takes you.

[ Ikki...doesn't know how to convince her, since the only way to find out would be to find out, so she just shrugs. ] Well, I think it's best not to die in the first place, really.

Death isn't something to be feared. It's just a part of life, but I am not yet ready for it myself.

Yep! Me either. I'm seven, and I have lots of things I still want to do, y'know?

Yes. I bet you do.

So this place. It is Luceti. There is a barrier. These wings are our life here. And our powers are weakened. [Or at least, those are the points she cares about.]

[ Ikki nods in approval. ] Yep! And in Luceti everything is free, so you can get food and stuff. And your normal clothes will be in one of the shops.

Everything is? There is no trade? Isn't that how humans get by?

Yeah, normally that's what we do - well, most of us - but that's not how it works here. I guess 'cause we're being kept here, so they get us things and stuff.

The stuff comes for free? Those... Mollnooso bring them in?

Yeah, I guess! I just know it's here, I dunno how it gets here. [ She'd never thought to ask, really. ] There's lots of things here, too - a library, and a battle dome, and an arcade, and a playground! - so it's okay in it's own way. I mean, being captured isn't good, but it's a nice place and there are nice people, and it doesn't have to be bad here if you don't want it to be, y'know?

[All those things Ikki lists Xzana could care less about.] Hmm. Does any creature claim territory over this river?

Not that I know of, but people do swim and fish in it sometimes?

Then this is all I need.

Well...I'll come and visit you here, then! It'll be fun! Don't you need to eat, though?

I'll catch my own fish. [How easy will that be with a broken wing, she's not sure. However, it's bad to show weakness to anyone. This has been drilled into her head ever since hatching.]

Do you need bread and stuff, or just fish? 'Cause I can bring you some snacks when I visit if you want.

Fish is enough for me to survive. [But she can't help but to feel like she's starting to like this human child.

...even if she's overly talkative.]
