Valstrath and Razeth went hunting. Razeth found a fat python and Valstrath snapping turtle. They ate close to their family and didn't want to take any chances of venturing beyond her watchful care. That being said, they still paused to listen and scent the air for the wretched humans.
Nidhogg slipped deftly into the water, barely causing a ripple. She practically danced under the water, snatching several lazy fish before climbing ashore once more to devour her catch. She looked up expectantly to the Broodmother when they all had finished.

Slygotha closed her eyes a moment, collecting her thoughts. She was starting these lessons much younger than she had wanted, but in these times, it was nessesary. " My wyrmlings, we will start practicing our magics. My clever little one who escorted me here has already displayed his talent, and with practice, it can become a second nature. It is hard to describe in so many words, but you simply feel the magic, and picture yourself as a human. With focus and concentration, you take on that mantle. We, being native to this land, tend to take on the looks of the native peoples here. I believe these islands are in an ocean called the Pacific, maybe the Philippines, or some such nonsense. Either way, there are many many islands like this one, densely forested, some with people, some not. This is a larger island, therefore there are people here. I learned the local dialects from natives who worshipped me as a Goddess. It will work to get our foot in the door.
Nidhogg! I want you to show me what you can do! Show me your human mantle!" Demanded Slygotha, raising a pointed claw towards shy Nidhogg. She cowered a little, unsure of herself, but gave it a go. She took a deep breath, and grasped the flow of magic inside her, willing herself to become a human. After a few minutes, she suddenly poofed into an adorable little girl, about 4 years old, with long, straight black hair and almond shaped hazel eyes. She was fine boned and delicate. She yelped a little when the shift took place.
Slygotha shifted her gaze to her sons.
