Subject: A sudden flash of green light...

A type of portal opened, and from within it, Scaleblade was shot out. Making, once again, not so smooth a landing. With her face to the dirt, Scaleblade lye there for a few seconds, re-collecting past events.

Before, she was up on a tall mountain, and had defeated a monstrous undead dragon and came in contact with her prize, if it wasn�t for that golden being who had stopped her with some sort of �Judgement�.

And, again, power slipped through her claws.

Scaleblade lifted her head slowly, she bore scratches and cuts from both the battle and the landing. She was in rough shape. Stretching her wings, painfully, she weakly crawled on to one knee. She gently licked one side of her mouth, and was introduced to the taste of her own robotic blood, mech fluid. Looking around, it was obvious she had no other goal here.

Well... so much for that.. Her voice, seemed irritated, but calm.

Weakly getting up, she walked over to a tree. She eyed the melting instrument of time, and sat down. To give her time to meditate of things.

First, I was at that place.. Then I turned up here. But how did I get here?

A piercing pain struck her. Her exposed circuitry sizzled and crackled with yellow sparks. For some reason, it was somewhat sensitive to the air in this world, wherever is was. Not wanting or in the mood to cope with this new problem, painful tendrils ripped from her grossly melted metallic skin. Scaleblade clenched her eyes tight, barring her teeth, and hands in fists, as if holding an invisible bar with all her strength.

Finally, the tentacles slowly slithered to the tree she sat by, and clamped on. As the tree�s neutral energy was zapped, it withered and rotted. And so slowly, slower then usual, did Scaleblade recover her wounds.

Still on her hand, her Paleguard Gauntlet glowed with an eerie red glow, it taking most of the energy Scaleblade needed for regenerating. Feasting on the power it didn�t need. Scaleblade hissed, ready to rip off the glove. But, seconds before, a more demanding bolt of pain struck her again. The tree was dead, and her body was not satisfied.

Now, more desperate for energy, the clawed energy suckers went for a nearby tree. Greedily gorging on it�s energy. Giving it the same fate as the tree Scaleblade has used just a minute ago.

Her body continued to regenerate as slow as before. But she couldn�t care any more. The excruciating pain has been quenched, if not for a second. And until she finally regenerated, this relief would be the only thing on her mind. The pain.
