A young dragon, only just awakened to her flame, overwhelmed by the changes that have happened to her and her new form. But she has a mentor, one who had gone through much the same metamorphosis long ago, who soothes her fear, teaches her to sort through the kaleidoscope of scents and complexity of air currents she can now sense around her; who tells her that the warmth in her chest and the long-suppressed instincts she now keenly feels are a part of her, not to be feared.
Slowly, she allows herself to be what she had always unknowingly been. She stops trying to hold back the growls and chirps; she opens herself to the feelings she's always held, deep within. She sits regally, catlike, her wings spread wide, and she lets go of the fears that come with change, and lets in the joy of finally being freed.
