[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!)

[It's a long walk from the Battle dome to her house at the end of the day, longer still when she takes her time. It's a lovely enough evening for it- up until Adele hears someone stumbling along the edge of the path. She starts, locks up and just...watches as this creature with wings crosses into the cleared part of the path.

She has half a mind to run, or say nothing- at least until she sees that wing. The smaller feathered wing that looks to be broken.]

Hello- [A beat, she clears her throat. Keeps her distance as she calls out.]

Hello?

[Xzana turns towards the sound, with a snarl. She pulls her long lips back to show just how many fangs she has.

A human. She lowers her lips just a little. A human might be able to help her, but then she may also be looking for her blood. Humans think there's a healing power in her blood.]

Water. Where is it?

[Whoa! That was not what he expected to hear when he went to take the laundry in from behind the house. The sound came from the front, but it was close, and his pets are already freaking out. Tammy is warking and running back to her stable while Saizou squeals and backs up under his legs.

Leaving the laundry where it is, he grabs a free pole and heads cautiously around the side of the house, peering around to spot...

A person with a broken wing and large other wings. Well, that explains the roar.]

....Can I help you?

[A pole - a weapon. Xzana takes a step back, raising her lips to show the row of fangs in her long mouth.] Where am I! How - [She weaves slightly, weak on her feet.] Where is water!?

[Draconic wings and teeth. And a great deal of other details she cannot quite take in because that broken feathered wing is so very distracting. The fangs give her pause, more so does her demeanor. She lifts her hands slowly showing that she isn't armed.

Perhaps she can get through this without being stabbed like she had been last cycle. Her voice is even and calm, well. As calm as it can be right now.]

There is a fountain in the central plaza, which would be closest- and two lakes. One to the south, and one to the east. There is also a teleporter that would take you to the beach- and the entirety of the shore.

[She weaves on her feet, feeling sick and light headed already from the broken wing.] Fountain? What is a fountain? [She takes a quick, jittery look up to the sky, coming back to stare at Adele again. She does this a couple times until she has a good location of the sun.

South or east, which way should she go?]

[Souji sees that reaction and takes a step back and out into the open, carefully and slowly putting the pole down on the ground where this newcomer can see it. He steps away from it, hands raised.]

I'm sorry for startling you. There's a fountain in town and several lakes within walking distance of the village, but with your wing in that condition, you may want to get medical help first.

[Xzana watches carefully as Souji puts the pole down. A low grumbling growl in her throat she just can't help rumbles until it's down on the ground.]

A fountain? What's a fountain? [She gives her head a little shake, which causes her to stumble slightly.] The lake. Which way? Which way?

A fountain is a place where water springs and is gathered in a man-made shallow well.

[He almost goes toward her when he sees her stumble, but pauses, knowing she's still jumpy. Slowly, he takes his first step forward and motions to the south.]

It's that way, but it may be difficult for you to reach in your condition. We should look at your wing and at least splint it.

[She takes a quick step back as her wits return to her and she sees he has come closer.]

I'm fine! I'm not hurt!

A source of water that is much closer than the lakes. It's an hour's walk to the nearest one, and that is when you are hearty and well.

[Hands kept up she takes a slow step forward. This was a woman in pain, obviously, and in need of aid. But that wing.]

Let me help you? Please. Your wing- I'm a physician. I can lead you to the fountain and set the broken bones.

[She takes a shaky step back as Adele moves closer.] I'm fine! I'm not hurt!

Show me the fountain!

The broken wing on your back says otherwise-

[But, she won't press. Cannot press. This winged woman is new to the village and disoriented for it. Unsettled and possibly afraid. Best to leave it alone until she is more settled.]

-It is down this path a ways.

[Not a terribly long walk if one was well. With a wing broken such as this woman's? It would feel far longer. Adele keeps her hands up as she edges around, not getting any closer than she was already.]

Towards the buildings? [She bristles slightly. Taking a step back. Was this human taking her back to her clan to get jumped? One human she could probably handle, even dizzy, but a group of them? Not in this form and she knows how dangerous it can be to transform while injured.]

Yes. It is the closest large source of water that I know of. The houses and apartments have running water but I do not think that is what you are asking for, yes?

[She stops, waits for the woman to make up her mind.]

...it will not be crowded at this time of day. Most are home for the evening, or in the tavern.

There are many people there, then? [She turns her head towards the east, but keeps an eye on the woman in front of her.]

Several hundred, I believe. We're a peaceful village. We do not attack newcomers- as we've all been pulled from our own lives, our own worlds to this place and arrived in state similar to your own.

Hundreds. [Way too many. She'd have no chance. Then again, why would she be honest about that if she wanted her to be lured there?

She takes another look towards the east, her stomach churning with pain. An hour walk. Even if she flew, which she's not sure she can right now, it would take a bit. Even now she could feel herself growing steadily weaker.

But to walk blindly into a human village while injured? This is not an easy decision for her to make.]

...would salt water suffice? There is still the teleporter to the beach- to the ocean. The building that houses it is secluded and entirely empty. The shore is equally devoid of villagers.

[She doesn't understand the need for it- what it means to this woman. It's importance. Only that it IS important. That alone is more than enough for her to attempt to make accommodations.]

No! No one with magic! [That's even worse right now then a group of regular humans!]

[Forgive Adele taking a few steps back. Maybe more than a few.] It isn't magic. It isn't even a person- it's a device. It operates on it's own, no magic, and no one else.

Teleportation is a spell. Those with magic cast it.

[Alright, alright. He eases back a step again and motions slowly to the wings on her back.]

Your wing is broken. Without proper healing, it could cause you greater pain in the days to come. Your second set of wings determine your life here. Harming them or losing them can cause illness, pain or death.

They're not mine. [Just because they're attached to her body means nothing! She didn't ASK for them!] These false wings are fine. [She straightens slightly to try to hide the light headedness she feels. Trying to show just how strong and fit she really isn't at the moment.]

That I know, my housemate is one that can cast such a spell. But this is no person that uses magic. It is a platform. You step on it, and it takes you to the beach. There is no magic involved in this particular teleporter.
