Mythical Haven discussion

Clare sat herself on the couch and opened her screen. She smiled at it and then laughed lightly. She messed with it and then zoomed out and in again

I shape-shift into a snake, and make my way to the lamia hideout. I slip in, but see another being in the room. I slither round, and coiled myself up on the beanbag.

She looked at the snake and then frowned a bit. Then she shifted into a snake as well and approached the snake. It did not smell like a lamia.

the lamia shifts, and sniffs me. I hiss, in warning, and coil back up.

She moves closer to it and then turns into herself. She picks up the snake and then wraps it around her arms.

'why is this lamia picking me up?' I think, and I decide to get off of her arm first. I slither up her arm, and down her torso and legs. then, once on the floor, I go back to the bean bag.

She laughed a bit at the snake. She loved snakes. She frowned and then picked it up again, being very gently as she did so. "Hey there." She said softly as she wrapped it around her arm.

she spoke kindly, so I think that she doesn't know what I am. dragons are not treated with kindness in the haven, thanks to the chromatic dragons, who are evil in every way. I shift my position on her arm, so that I can see her face. she looks beautiful, and I fall in love.

She smiles as the snake shifts. "Hello theree my friend." She tells it as she gently strokes it. She sets it down on couch and then sits next to it and strokes it as she sits down next to it and lays on the couch. She doesn't mind snakes. She was one as well.

she puts me on the sofa, and I don't resist. I coil up, and go for a nap.

She laughs at it and then pets it softly. She loved snakes. She let it rest as she sat up and smiled down at it.

A little while later...

I awoke with a start. I looked to my side, and the lamia still sat there. phew. for a second there, I thought that i'd turned back into a dragon... oh, wait... I have...

She screamed and then backed away from the dragon. It was small but still a dragon. A dragon.

"wait! don't worry, I won't eat you." it's not the stupidest thing I've said, but it was still stupid. "Please, don't scream, I can explain everything."

She was against a wall and still screaming as she looked at the dragon. She blinked a few times, "You... You were the snake...." She stuttered. She was not easily shocked so that was something.

"yes. i'm a bronze dragon, a part of the metallic dragon family, who can shape-shift. I swear, I won't hurt you. just let me explain."

She took a deep breath as she looked at it and then swallowed as she sat down where she was, "you have two minutes. Then I am going to keep screaming." She said lightly yet firmly.

"ok. Basically, not all dragons are bad, there are good dragons, such as all those who are metallic dragons. the chromatic dragons are more primal, and are the most commonly encountered dragons. they have forgotten how to shape-shift. very rarely, humanoids will encounter a metallic dragon, who are the more civilized of the dragons. I am a metallic dragon, but only a wyrmling. in other words, i'm a child."

She nodded slowly, "Why are you here. This is for Lamias. Oh my gosh I thought you were a snake." She said a bit disappointed as she sunk back down in thw corner.

"I am here, because this is a place that other reptiles hang around in. I only came here because no-one trusts me, due to the bad representation that chromatic dragons give us."

She nodded and calmed down a bit then moved back to her couch and sighed a bit. She should just stop being nice altogether.

"I'm sorry for scaring you. I should go." I jump off of the sofa, and walk towards the exit with my tail between my legs and my head down.

She stayed quiet for a second. "You don't have to. I have never had anything against dragons. Besides I am probably going to fall asleep in a few minutes." She said with a shrug.

"are you sure? I mean, I don't want to scare anyone else, and i'm not exactly the best at hiding, as you have just seen."

Clare nodded, "No lamias come here with me anyhow. They don't like me." She chuclled and then laid down on the couch softly and closed her eyes.

"same here. except with the entire haven."

Clare chuckled lightly and then turned over and covered herself.

I shift back into a snake, and coil myself around the beanbag.

Clare opens one eye and then smiles. She picks up the snake. She couldn't help heraelf. She really loved snakes. She put it in her arm and then laid back down on the couch and began to fall asleep again, hoping the snake did not leave while she slept.

((I won't leave, I promise!))

I smile as she coils me around her arm, then go to sleep ((gtg!))

((I dont get it...))

Clare smiles in her sleep and then falls into a deep sleep.

I slither up her arm a little more, but do nothing else, as this may wake her up.

Clare pets the snake and then chuckled lightly but remains asleep. She was not having a dream so it was nice.

As the lamia strokes me, I practically pur. All of my muscles relax, and I nod off.

She continues to stroke the snake. Most people find snakes scary or not safe but she loved snakes

I feel her stroking me, and I smile lazily.

She sighs in her sleep and then mumbles something and smiled.

I hiss a little in my sleep, but it is not a big deal. I unravel a little, but remain asleep.

She shudders a bit and then wakes up and smiled softly at the snake. She looks around the room in a daze and then falls back asleep.

I awaken, and sniff the air. Fortunately, the only other being in the hideout was the lamia.

She pets the snake again and then yawns softly as she wakes up and looks around. She smiled gently at the snake and thenvstands up.

She stands, so I slither down to the floor.

She laughed lightly as she watched the snake and then looks arouns the room.

I weave my way to the window, and look out of it. I sigh, and slither on to the beanbag.

She stares at the ground for a bit and then looks at the snake curiously. Then sje sits down by the door.

I coil myself and watch the lamia intently in case of any kind of hostile movement.

She stares back at the snake and smiles then leans against the door and lets out a sigh.

"What is bothering you?" I ask, trying to help out. "Are you still scared because I am a dragon?"

"Maybe." She admits, "But I know you wont hurt me." She says to the snake as she looks at the roof.
