Godric noiselessly slithered down the side of the mountain, using the claws on his wing bends to aid in his agility. Clinging to only the largest rocks as to prevent a long tumble, he slunk down to the base of the mountain and lastly crept to the dew-coated shore of the lake, his jade scales blending into the swaying grasses.
Gracefully, the Heron descended downward, landing with but a mere tap in the water as her feet sank to the cushioned, mossy floor. "What are you doing here?" hissed Godric. She turned and cocked her head with a rather frazzled expression, "Oh, I-I'm sorry for disturbing you, I was just-" "Just what?" Godric grumbled impatiently as he stood up and wrenched his claws into the moist soil beneath, "Spying?" "No, I was practicing my magics is all!" she defended. "For what? To destroy this clan, like all of the Jade lindorms? Get lost, your kin is not welcome here. Go on." "But, I... I can't help what my ancestors did. I am terribly sorry that they did that to you." she stammered, with a pleading look in her eyes. He bit his tongue, "I'm sorry I snapped, it's just that-- I've had some bad experiences with shapeshifting dragons." he said, beginning to turn away, "You can stay, excuse my intrusion." She breathed a sigh, and she helplessly and guiltfully watched him; he was so traumatized. "I'm Godric; you can come to SparkClan if you need a place to go. It's probably best that you try to blend in with the others." he changed the subject, "Thank you," she murmured quietly, "Oh-- and you can call me Gloria." she added. Godric nodded briskly, and then he too breathed a sigh, before turning and flying back up to SparkClan. Gloria thoughtfully watched through the Heron's vibrant yellow eyes.
