Crash Landing
Open

Even from flying above, one could see the forest was cool and crisp. Dew drops covered every piece of green, moss grew up every trunk and on every tree, and the air held a damp feeling to it. The dim sky was a cloudy grey, the clouds of mist covered up all blue in site. The only thing that could be herd was a few small birds singing in the tall trees and the critters flying from flower to flower. Even the forest life was dampened in soft wet mist. Not a dry spot in site, even from above.

This was not a good place to be for the dragon that roamed the sky's. Her big metallic wings silently creaked with every beat, getting louder and louder by the minute. There movement seemed to be slowing down. A long metal tail stretched out behind her to keep her balance, but was stiffening up. As fast as she tried to go, her wings could not go fast enough to fight the water. The cool damp mist was stinging her face as she went, but she dare not wipe it from her one open eye. Fists were tightly clutched to her chest for minimal wind factor.

No matter how fast Adome flew, No matter how far she went, this forest seemed to have no end! Even now, she could feel her wings slowly slowing down. Refusing to beat at the speed they were able to just a minute ago. Her tail was getting hard to move, making it even harder to change direction. She kept her one eye shut as tightly as possible. One drop to many could result in blindness for days. Water was not good, how did she even end up here?
Than, a split second before it happened, one thought crossed her mind. One fatal thought that made her heart lurch with fear. One thought that wouldn't change until she hit the ground.
This Dragon Was Going Down.

Her winds stiffened, refusing to move any more. The stale air kept her exhausted body up in the air for just a second more before she was falling. Adome stuck her front legs out to hopefully break the fall, but the air pushing up from beneath her tipped her sideways. Her stiff tail could do little to change her position. All she could do was glance down one before she collided with the ground.

Adome's wings scraped the wet ground with an ear-piercing scrape as she slammed on the ground and slid down the slightly slanted slope. She could feel one of her ribs break, and another few crack. The rest were metal, presumable fine. Her scales chipped off like nothing, leaving her bleeding from the soft skin. Even after she stopped moving, the pain that hit her was almost unbearable. A gasp escaped her lips as her tail hit the ground. She knew they were fine, not even dented. Maybe a bit rusted, but pretty much unscathed. Her flesh body however was ripped, broken, and beaten up.

Adome's body screamed with protest as she dragged her legs out from underneath her and prepared to put pressure on them. She couldent stay here, in such a damp place. It would rust her wings and tail beyond repair. She had to get to a cave, a hole, or some place dry. Repair her wings and tail, check her eye, and dry off. Those were her first priorities...
With a grunt, Adome pushed herself up off the ground. But as soon as she did, she collapsed again onto the cold wet terrain. She was hit by a fresh wave of pain and the fae had to bite her tongue to stop from crying out.
Owch.

A young and yet wise dragon flew with great agility and grace as the icy blue dragon seemed to go through the sky at the greatest of ease even though it was quite a time to not under or over balance one's self and was doing a great job until he saw the clouds brewing from the west and the moisture in the air became more moist his senses and reflexes knew that there was a storm definitely brewing and with those winds would be a deal of a time to try and fly through even with his experience. Therefore with freezing his wings outward glided silently like a ghost towards the ground until his bulk of a body finally connected to the hardened earth.

As the sounding of the great young to medium adult landed the grass bended and the trees seemed to bend minorly as well as the earth making a shift in its superficial crust. Slightly elevating his head and taking in another great whiff of the freshened air it was confirmed that it would happen and so with that he did what a dragon who was learned would do and taht would be to go for shelter, he saw from when he was landing a good sized cavern in which he now started to head towards when his senses picked up another thing coming that seemed eerily like one of those odd stories told from others. Leveling his head out and making it straigh he shrugged his shoulders and sighed in not much knowing if it was true or fiction.

Time passed however and he had found the cavern when the storm breached its peak and let loose the tiny droplets of water which would sooner or later become bigger and more dialated the storm had started and he at taht time only wanted to stay out in front of the cavern in taking the hydrogen particles into his body and to smell the clean air as it raged even more. He thought of those who didn't have any shelter and it made him wish that he could help someone even if they were a stranger or one of the other races, still he just stood there seeming to await for something or possibly someone.

As his back haunches dropped to the ground he seemed to just take in the beauty and solace of the area it seemed he was in peace until he saw something in the sky seeming to have difficulty in keeping itself up in the air was it because of the water, or was it because of the wind, or could've it even been the cause of something else in which he couldn't even speculate at that very moment still he noticed it and watched its progress. However it seemed that this being was not going to be that grand and stained his hand from helping it.

For something inside of him noticed that this one was not one to accept others helping at least not consciously and so he awaited not making himself visible to the injured one until she could not move in going into the darkness which its name was pain. It seemed to take forever until that had actually happened and with taht he solemnly walked towards it and picked the she-dragon up on his own back trapzing towards the cavern which he noticed would be difficult to house both of them and so he with some hesitation dove into that of the magic in making the hole in the rock bigger and wider, at least wide enough for two of his kind, careful in not faltering his step or even tripping on something in the dark he went inside and propped her on the smoothest possible portion of the cave. The rumble in his stomach made him notice taht hunger had him in its clutches as well knowing that once her injuries were healed she'd be hungry as well leaving her to rest he went in search for a few deer for them. With a look back at this one who hadn't given her name yet he started to mumble in an ancient language of his species and healing her wounds as best he could without straining his own energy or killing more than that was necessary, only leaving those which where only superficial in able to heal with time.

With only being minorly wasted of energy he left so as to let her rest and heal with that of time. He seemed to understand that some things needed to be done by yourself, still he wondered if this one would stay and enjoy his kind and honored company or would she leave without something to help her on her way to wherever she was headed to, leaving it as more a retorical question or that of something which needed to be answered later when she had her full of him. With hesitation and a look back he left so as to go grab some grub for the two of them and then some.

Pit pat pit pat pit pat pit pat
The rain hitting her metal wings made a light sound as it fell quietly. Bouncing and than sliding off the silver frame. The soft noise it made was barely able to be herd to another being. But to the dragon laying in the mud to whome the wings belonged to, to her it was the worst sound in the world. Every pit pat got louder and louder by the second. It bore into her mind, into her soul, tearing her sanity apart.
Pit pat pit pat pit pat pit pat
Silence
Pit pat pit pat...
Silence
Pit pat pit pat...
Silence...
Finally, the silence came as Adome slipped into a deeper darkness and lost consciousness. Somewhere along the darkness, Adome felt something rising her. Lifting her up, and putting her down again. And than, dryness. No more patting on her scales, on her wings, and in her head. Finally, a cooling sensation. Across her wounds, making her shudder silently as the magic mended her. Adome dare not open her eyes, for fear or something else was not known. Only when she herd the sound of claws walking away did she dare peek a glance.

She was in a cave, semi large and a good distance away from the rain. A good portion of her wounds were healed, but her head was still pounding. Her wings and tail were as solid as stone, refusing to even shift for more comfort. The Dragoness got to her claws -with much effort- and heaved herself up. Unfortunately, she quickly tumbled over due to the weight of her outstretched wings. This happened one more before she realized it was pointless. Her wings were to heavy to move without them folded by her side. Maybe it was her pounding head, or fatigue, but it was only than that she realized she did not get here on her own.
She was placed here.
And whoever did it was...Gone?

Quickly looking around and scanning her surroundings, she did not spot another living being near. The rain outside patted around the entrance, making her sigh. A thought quickly crossed her mind, filling it with dread. If she couldent move when he/she got back, she was in trouble. Adome drew some energy from inside her and began recharging herself. It was a hard task, she didn't have much energy. But slowly if she had enough time, she could thaw out herself enough to get out of there.

Wait...
One glance at the cave mouth and she realized she wasn't going anywhere. The rain would make it impossible to leave the cave until it stopped. Adome focused all her energy into thawing out her body for when her 'rescuer' came back. Something about Adome simply refused to believe a dragon would simply rescue her out of the kindness of there heart.

Stomping lightly on the forest floor he went in search awaiting to find what he had when his mind turned to a time when he was about in the same situation as the dragoness even though he hadn't crash-landed as bad for he was still a young hatchling and only beginning to fly and that. However still as the rain pelted against his scales he was at home for he had been raised in cold climates as well as something quitehinking of her those cou like this and so the rain didn't bother him as much as it did the other. Slowly with time he shrunk to the size of a larger wolf, those of which the dwarven warriors rode at least the best of them. As his footing got lighter he started to switch his mind towards that of the skill of hunting knowing of what he needed for he didn't need that much meat, just enough to filll him for the moment although the one he had rescued would need more than himself. Those two times of thinking of the other reminded him that he had simply forgotten to unthaw some important portions.

Either its because he wanted time to go its course about that portion or simply he wanted to do that when rightfully afterward he'd have something to eat for the both of them still his mind went strong as iron as it went to that of hunting, as his footsteps lightened he wondered if he'd find it soon enough as he crept towards using his senses and skills of this trade. It didn't take long until he was on top of a young couple even though it pained him to much he neededed more than they did and so with remorse the giant ice-blue dragon stalked the good-sized buck and doe until he was right on top of them. Hunched down low and ready to strike, that was however they finally got his scent and the wind changed slightly making himself known as the rain kept on coming down they started to bolt. His jaws moved upward in a milicous grin as his two front pawss going for the heads, dealing a blinding blow the two were blind and deaf to his notice long enough for the strong paws to crush their necks, as the bones broke under his strength they were dead and he took their energy for his own. It was then that this feeling took its leave and he started to feel for their losses, with some remorse for their lives and hoping that they lived good ones he picked them up with respect as he slung them over his left shoulder, it seemed the feeling for remorse left him for it was like that of crying over spilled milk.

With that he started his trek back towards the cave in which he had left the other still with some injuries or something he went in hurry for as to not make her wait for him thinking of what kind of emotion that would put on the female dragon. Good thing was it wasn't that far, growing in size he was at his original height and now at the mouth of the cave as he saw a great sight. It seemed that the she-dragon was awake and at least walking on her own strength so to speak. He bowed his head in dipping his neck towards the ground and then rising it back upward and in saying to her with respect and calm kindness for it was one of his favorite of things was showing respect to all.

"I see you've found yourself nice and dry enough to be able to move a little isn't it much better than how you were, however lets go in deeper and I shall help you with your other limbs that is unless you wish to do it yourself with your own energy?"]/b] In passing her enough so as to pass he went into the cave and went far enough in to be at the end of this quiet cavern with the noise left outside. It was then that he dropped the two carcasses and in which he dropped his load as well on the ground with ease and still looking at her backside until she would possibly come deep enough inside as well.

Clawing at the under stone and the claws scrapped with ear-splitting sound a hole was cut into the earth and as he gulped in enough air a stream of fire came out filling the whole with its light and warmth.
