Snippet #1570227

The wind blew through a small cave near a huge cliff, and inside something stirred for the first time in ages.

Lily opened her eyes to the darkness of the cave she had lain in so many years ago. She stood and stretched, finding that she only felt a little stiff. How long has it been this time? And how has the world changed? She walked out of the small cave, and went to the edge of the cliff that was so close. She looked down on what used to be a forest, and was now a city. Ah, the world has changed much....I wonder what the danger is this time? to find out she would have to mingle with the humans. She inspected herself the best she could without some sort of reflective surface. Her clothes were intact, which she deemed good, though she knew the style would be old fashioned. She would have to get a new outfit once in the city below.

Lily looked down again, judging distance to the ground. Then she concentrated for a few seconds, after which giant white dragon wings sprouted from her birthmark, and through hidden slits in the back of her clothes. She flapped the wings a few times, stretching them out after a long period of not using them. Then she lept off the cliff, diving down towards the ground. At the last second she leveled herself out, and glided to the edge of the city. She landed on the far outskirts, making sure that no human saw her and let her wings go back into her body. She walked towards the city, thinking she would have to find a human partner. First though she would have to see what type of clothes the humans now wore, and see if she would have to change her look like she did the last time she woke.
