It had been a long time since Killinka and Selina had gone, and she had finally decided they weren't coming back. She was alone, and the food that Killinka and Selina had left had dwindled to next to nill.
Now near nine feet tall, the dracling was entering adolesence. Her scaled hide had darkened in color, from the light sapphire, to a deep aquamarine. Her wings had filled out also, and now looked capable of carrying her in flight. However, her painful thinness remained, from streaching her food out to last much longer than it would have if Jaded Mystery, Killinka and Selina were still here.
Rising from her sitting postion, she moves with surprising grace for one her age to the mouth of the cave. She could view almost the entire land from this spot, and she did so then. Nothing in the forest intrested her, but in Hunt's Cove deer were moving. Hunger rumbled in her tightly drawn stomach, and before she knew what she was doing, she sprang out of the cave, wings spread wide. Startled, she starts to fold her wings down back along her back, and begins to plummet. Just when she was certain she was about to die, broken against the rocks of the mountian, she unfurls her wings again, pulling out of her head-long dive.With serval strong beats of her wings, she soars upwards into the sky. Experimenting, she turns left and right, pumping her wings with steady beats, heart still in her throat with the joy of flight. Then she catches a thermal, soaring upwards once more, and in the direction of Hunt's Cove.
