  Scroll in hand, Energy looked up at Rhys, only to see him troubled.

  "[b]What's wrong?[/b]" she asked, getting up on her feet once more. This time, her body did little more than sway and she was pleased, now that she was becoming accustomed to balancing on two legs. It wasn't that bad, really, now that she thought about it. Or maybe she was being optimistic. Energy could still barely walk after all. "[i]But hey, at least I'm not falling on my butt again.[/i]"

  A sudden shrill squawk rang through the air. Now, being a dragon - or [i]used to[/i] be - who's lived all her life in an ancient rainforest, Energy was unperturbed by this, merely glancing up at the toucan, settled on one of the lower branches above them, which had let out the abrupt call. However, as more birds answered it, she was growing aware of the wildlife surrounding them, now that the magic and dragons that normally scared them off were gone. Birds called out to one another, occasionally flying overhead. Crickets chirped and whatever insects hidden in the undergrowth were back to crawling around. Small critters ran around in the foliage, not at all disturbed by the two strange humans standing around.

  There was a reason that no human traveller that ventured through the forest ever came back out. Well, other than the dragons, that was. 

  Goosebumps rose on Energy's skin. If there was one thing she knew about their home, it was that being inside it as a human never ended well. Especially as humans who barely knew how to walk, let alone [i]run[/i]. Taking a step back, her ears flicked as she picked up the distant sound of a jaguar growling. That wasn't good. Funny, usually she would've picked up its scent. The human nose really must be inferior to a dragon's. They should probably get out of the forest.[/COLOR]
