Odara


Status: Escaped (Dec, 28th 2020-Present)

Sex: Female

Spcies: Artificial Human Construct, or a Humanoid Created by Science for specific Goals, or simplistic desires. Some call these Trash-Human, taking the literal meaning Trash and all the derogatory slag that generally comes with it. Such form of Humans despite being Superior and rightly classified as Trans-Human or transcended human,(A Human that has transcended a normal Human and has become something more) are consider lower amongst society. Do to the fact that they are viewed as nothing more then tool, or Carbon Copies of what a 'True' Trans Human could be looked like. They rarely ever share the rights of a Normal Human or Beast-Kin, and are generally despised once their use is finished. Though the 'Humans Rights Act' tries to defend them fruitlessly, their words have little to no power against Super Powers that have Reign over Specific Areas. (Though this is merely implying to the area they originate from.)

Complexion: Fair

Height: 5'10" (70 inches)

Weight: 110lbs (95kgs )

Build: Athletic, Slim, Large Bust

Eyes: Pale Jade Green

Hair: Blonde

She was made to be physically perfect, based of expansive data gathering and calculations. She has blonde hair which she keeps cut shorten to her ears in the back and short cropped in the front to her chin. She has a thin neck leading to soft but powerful shoulders and arms. She is well endowed with a large bust which leads to a toned core and shapely, slim hips, and powerful looking legs.

--------------------------------------

Elynn

Her other half took the name "Elynn" for herself; yes that is correct, they are one and the same. Odara is Elynn and vice versa. While in the stasis chamber an anomaly was detected during a testing period and the one infant began to separate into two beings. The scientist taught them both the same things, but they had drastically different personalities. One which named herself Elynn was sweet and innocent, and reacted positive. The one which named herself Odara was vicious and mature.

The reason behind the splitting of "their" bodies was the balance of their being; the body tries to retain equilibrium and as her body reacted to the drugs, the nanomite in her blood malfunctioned and with the development of a split personality due to the pain, began to split her body in two and in doing so, the two sides of her personality split in order to assure balanced as well, but the nanomites miscalculated the split and ended up separating her into a being that broke the rules of Yin and Yang, but together, they completed each other.

They have an instant mind link between they and same pain and feelings, one dies the other dies. They resemble each other, as well as there visual age is also a balancing mechanism; Elynn in a younger undeveloped girl with a innocent smile, and Odara is a mature woman with a terrible scowl. When they are near each other, their personalities shift to a more neutral state, and as they seperate, they both become blank and one sided in personality (Elynn becomes outrageously polite, courteous, and Odara becomes more violent, ruthless, and destructive; this is once again their bodies mechanism to balance itself. They are an affront to nature and life. They shouldn't exist, but the truth is they are just trying to survive in this world...


--------------------------------

Personality & Psychological Profile:

Odara is a very cold and silent person; she typically ignores most people. Her serious mood does lighten when her other half is around, even by a little. She is built of self preservation, and she is offended easily by hostility. She rares laughs, unless she's mocking or teasing someone, and she rarely smiles if any at all. She is a sadist in every sense of the word and she thrives off of hurting others. She isn't abusive to her other half at all despite them having different goals for their existence, she has respect for her other half and selfishly acts for the survival of both of them. She is frighteningly calm and she responds well under pressure.

She typically shows respect to those who: One, follow her demands. Two, those who show the will to survive. She is an extremely rude and violent person, but she is capable of some kindness if anyone could possibly show the determination to her, and survive her ruthless nature. She has a will that is make of steel, and to survive, she will go to any lengths necessary. For her to be so cold, she is not a spoiled brat and she is not arrogant in anyway; but then again no one has survived long enough to find this out. She is a smart woman, but she can be a tad curious at times.

When she other side is near her she seems to become a bit more polite and considerably well mannered. Also her other side typically apologies to those that Odara has abused or hurt when she sees them.

------------------

Abilities:

In her blood are organic nanomites that are enhanced by arcane magic runes, allowing them to multiply under strict programming codes. A side effect of these mites are the natural energy release, which makes her eyes glow and release energy randomly. These particles are known to effect the area around her negatively; often creating horrid monsters out of inanimate objects. (Although she embraces this part of the nanomites and relishes in their destruction.)

Monstrous Strength: Her strength is enough for her to lift at least a semi-truck with slight strain; anything larger and she may have some problems.

Enhanced Stamina & Durability: She can withstand great impacts, such as falling from a height of several stories or being struck by an opponent with super strength, that would severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no discomfort. She can fight for extended periods of time.

Combat Education: She was forced to endure combat efficiency training, field tests and involuntary brutal limitation testing; and it worked, she has absorbed multiple combats styles, strategies, and techniques and she uses all that is at her disposal. She was also subject to elemental and training from arcane mages, as well and magical power limitation testing. She learned enough to be able to manipulate elements with some focus required

This transformation is completely uncontrolled by her and it activates at times of high stress/emotion as well as when she feels as though her life is in peril. This transformation is painful, causing her entire body to forcefully transform into a different being...one capable of genocide if let alone. She usually fights it if possible, but when she is in this state she will destroy as much as inhumanly possible, however she will not face her other half, for they are one and the same. The ink black liquid oozes from her mouth and engulfs her like a parasite forming arcane armor made of a mysterious substance. The armor can be thickened through the use of her magical energy, but it has limits as well.

This...creature is incredibly powerful with her nature strength being doubled and her physical attributes being enhanced the same; the beings creates weapons out of both it's body and the black substance, but it seems to be limited to weapons and short range defense abilities. This thing has no redeeming qualities and is shows not a hint of mercy to anyone except itself..
---------------------------------

Due to this cursed transformation she sometimes has a thick dark chakra leaking from her body ; and it transformation objects of all kinds into chakra eating demons that aim to destroy and feed their lust for power. She does see this as a natural occurrence and disregards it as nothing. (She is a foul creature after all) This can be suppressed by simple magic (which her other side usually keeps wraps on it)

History









Big thanks to Ylanne (I used pieces and bits from her custom dossier to put this together)

Equipment

CRES (Combat Ready Exploration Suit)

Image

This ivory full bodysuit is a suit that materializes when her chosen clothes are indecent or incapable of covering her. The suit is stored in a tattoo at the base of her spine. This suit is a fusion of magic and technology, being able to repair any tears or damage indefinitely. It vanishes when she is appropriated clothed (in her own mind)

---------------------------------

Akatonbo

she can call her naginata with the command "Imei" (Disobedience) into her hand. It is 4t long with a circular tsuba at the point where the 1ft blade meets the shaft. (overall 5ft) It's blade is crafted of orichalcum, and enchanted with runes allowing it to harm all manner of being.

Odara watched as Jack ate the fries; and then it happened..her lush pink lips curved into a tiny smile. This was simply something that most people didn't get to see...unless. Jack had brought this out, but it didn't simply mean 'happy' as one would usually think of; after the woman was a raging sadist. She was infatuated with him, this usually meant trouble. He was the first person who hadn't refused the fries...and he for now was the only one living besides the self sustaining robot girl, LT-LE.

Odara stood up and took Jack by the leg, around the calf, then lifted him into the air; yes she was incredibly, inhumanly strong and this wasn't a dream. She shook him a few good times until his wallet fell to the floor. She then dropped him quite rudely and picked up his wallet. "You..what is your name?.." she looked to Jack with a cold pale jade glance. Her stomach could be heard growling, and she glared down at it and...it stopped? She was a scary woman! Breathtakingly beautiful, but a terrifying woman...

Odara heard LT-LE threaten her, and she didn't seemed to take it seriously, glance to the little robot with her usually blank scowl. Was she going to open fire? No, No she wasn't, especially with her next question.."Is that little robot your lover?.." She shot her glance to Jack. Yes, she did just ask that question, and she was all too serious.

Odara 's gaze shot over to jack as she held out his wallet, glancing over to the counter. "Vanilla sundae, with reeses..your treat.." She then looked back to him with her fierce jade hued eyes. Would he listen? Maybe she wasn't a rude, violent, beautiful woman with a fancy for salty foods..would Jack find out what her intents were or take his wallet and scram?

Odara didn't seem to be listening as she began to drag a table in front of Jack and took a seat in the chair she had so rudely stolen, crossing her legs once more. "You have a pleasant face..it was the result of wanting sustenance.." She looked to him. Did she just hit on him? By the way she spoke, she was unsociable, or just proper and mean as all hell. She had even slid a chair to the table for both jack and LT-LE "Sit down.." She demanded, glancing to both of them as she waited for the sundae to be delivered.

Odara she glanced to LT-LE and then to Jack. She was planning a trap? Could the two of them begin conspiring against her? She stared between the two for a long time before a waitress brought the sundae to the table, the waitress herself seemed to be nervous as a cow in a beef convention as she set the sundae on the table. As soon as Odara glanced at her, she fainted almost instantly, falling over with a thud. Odara hadn't done anything to her; as she hear Jack speak again, she seemed kicked just under the table to get their attention and rudely interrupt them. "I can hear the both of you; if you believe me to be an enemy, attack me now. If you attack me while I am eating I will be force to torture the both of you mercilessly...Now sit down.." She demanded calmly, and she unfolded her arms. At this moment the waitress was waking up...

Odara glanced to both of them again, and then to the sundae as she grabbed the spoon and dipped it into the delicious dairy treat, taking a spoonful into her mouth. After finishing with the bite, she glared to the waitress; she seemed to take on a pale tint of white and immediately ran in a full sprint away from the table. She then shot her stare back to LT-LE. "You may not feel pain, but no being wants to experience death, artificial or not.." She paused for a moment. She seemed to be making a twisted form of small talk. "..however humans can fell everything..." She glanced up to Jack after finishing that comment. Would they attack her now that she was eating? It seemed unlikely, considering she was completely serious..

Odara supposed it was true, she was taught about technology briefly before she left her home. Either way she would temporarily disable the robot if this was the case. She took another bite of the sundae, seemingly looking as if she had no interests in it, despite this she did actually like it very such. As Jack asked for his wallet back, she glanced up to the man who had entered as well as he claimed possession of the wallet as well. "Take the wallet whomever it belongs to..." She shot a glance to Jack and peered at the man with a glare so fierce it seemed like she was staring him on fire. If she was lucky he'd leave?

Odara stepped back into gambit's, seemingly finished with her business, and beside her was a younger woman, shorter in stature and her hair was quite longer despite being of the same whitish blond; she almost resembled the stern beauty that was Odara except the fact that she was considerably young and she wore a gentle smile rather than the slight scowl that Odara currently and often enough wore. The two of them just so happened to spot Jack and LT-LE, considering the bar was quite empty. And the two of them made their way towards the two of them.

The Hidden Glen was peaceful and quiet. It was near the midnight hour and the moon was full, its bright white haze illuminating the otherwise dark forest. The moon seemed massive as it hung in the night sky, its large round form being mirrored and reflected off the surface of completely calm, still black waters. Being farther out away from the nearest cities, away from all the dust and light pollution, here the stars twinkled and shined ever so brightly like tiny little blue shimmering diamonds in the sky. There were no clouds to be seen, and peering up from the large clearing in the trees, this was the perfect time and place to go stargazing. Although it was very late, the moonlight made it somewhat more possible to see in the dark by casting a dark blue silhouette over the forest, making the treeline more visible for anyone who might not have a lamp to see. Of course, many nocturnal critters happened to be active in the forest at this time, and occasionally their eyes would reflect the moonlight also which caused their eyes to glow in the dark. Raccoons, foxes, possums, deer and other creatures roamed around quietly at night as green lightning bugs hovered around and flickered magically in the dark with the serene and natural sounds of croaking frogs and toads, and chirping crickets.

The Hidden Glen seemed like the perfect place to go camping as a single shooting star fell over the night sky, adding a more surreal view to the already peaceful and dreamy setting. But the dark forest, despite its appearance and stillness, was a place that never truly slept, as many animals were just now starting to hunt. From tiny black ants to hungry fish, winged bats and grub eating hogs, the forest may have seemed quiet, but it was actually teaming with life. If someone was quiet and still for long enough, they might even be able to hear cracking sticks and swaying branches moving in the dark forest from the many stealthy animals that passed through the area on a regular basis. There were snakes slithering about in search of nesting birds, which had settled in for the night. A wood turtle was drifting afloat in the middle of a large pond, as water beetles waded along the surface, causing little V-shaped ripples in the water. A spider was busy spinning its web between two trees, and the dew which had collected on its silky strings began to shine in the moonlight. A wolf's long-winded howl could be heard in the far distance, followed by what sounded like a great horned owl as it called out to other owls using a series of hoots.

Despite its tranquility and peacefulness, The Hidden Glen was a very dangerous place for the unwary and unprepared. Bears and panthers or wildcats lived in the forest, along with coyotes, large alligators and other predators. While most of these animals were very skittish and usually afraid of humans, incidents have been known to happen, and it wasn't uncommon for tragic deaths to occur in the woods, especially at night during a full-sized moon like tonight. Everything was on guard in the dark forest. That is, everything except for a single large egg which suddenly fell from the sky, as if it had been dropped from the air by a large night bird, slipping from its talons in mid-flight or perhaps dropped on purpose due to its weight. The large egg fell through the trees, bouncing and rolling over several branches as it tumbled to the ground. The egg rolled along the grassy leafbed before hitting the trunk of a huge willow tree and coming to a dead stop, nestled within its thick winding roots among the foliage. Miraculously, the egg didn't even crack or break, and apart from three parallel scratches along its surface caused by the talons of whatever had dropped it, the egg appeared to be unscathed.

As the moonlight hit the egg's surface, it quickly became apparent that this was no ordinary egg. The most noticeable thing about it was its size. The egg, although having a typical oblong round shape like most common birds and reptiles, was about the same size as a 60 gallon wine barrel and weighed nearly 600 pounds. It had a very thick, dark grey plated surface covered in diamond-shaped rocky scales which overlapped similar to fishes scales and helped it to blend in with the rocks and foliage. An egg which had scales, now that wasn't something associated with most reptiles and birds, especially among the species which lived in the surrounding forest. This could only mean one thing. The egg must have come from somewhere else. But from where? And how did it get here? Was it still alive? And if so, what kind of embryo was it carrying inside? Was it a bird, a snake, or maybe a large crocodile? Could it even be a fish of some kind? Or perhaps the creature that dropped it did so after realizing that it wasn't an egg at all, but just a very large rock. Only, if that were the case, then it certainly did look like an egg of some kind. Rocks don't usually look egg-shaped or have thick scaley armor around them. Nope. This was almost certainly a dragon egg. But where did it come from? And what kind of dragon laid it? With nobody around to hear it fall, see it land, or stumble upon its well hidden roost in the dark forest, the perfectly quiet little egg kept its secrets. At least for the time being as it sat completely motionless between the tree roots, resembling a fallen seed pod or dark fossilized fern on the leafbed...

One year later...

If one could fast-forward the clock, they could watch the seasons change over and over again. Nighttime turned into twilight, which turned into dawn, which turned into midday, which turned into dusk before turning into night again. The luscious green summer forest soon turned over to the dead brown leaves of autumn which whitened during the winter, blossoming with fruits and flowers during the springtime, only to return again back to summer. A full cycle, a flashing glimpse of one whole year focused on the same spot throughout each and every image, showing what was to become of the large black egg, still nestled cozily against the base of the aging willow tree, protected and hidden by its tangling roots in the soft rotting foliage.

Although it was large enough to see plain as day, it resembled a rock or ancient plant fossil, and blended in beautifully with its surroundings, at least during the summertime. The four changing seasons had effected the egg somewhat. It had rolled slightly from its original position during a small flash flood caused by a mildly terrible lightning storm. The egg had been subjected to a small forest fire as the willow tree it was hidden under was struck by lightning. Even though the egg sat dormant on top of a natural nest of red hot burning coals covered in flames, it did not cook the fetus inside. The egg appeared to be fire resistant, or perhaps even fire activated as the fetus began to twitch and show signs of life like a flapping shrimp. At that point in time, the as yet unhatched baby dragon was actually the same size as a shrimp, swimming inside a large eggy fishbowl of nutrients, proteins and vitamins. It didn't even know where it was, and experienced no effect from the waking storms.

As winter came, it had snowed for two days straight during a nasty blizzard which killed most of the trees and covered the ground with a blanket of heavy snow. The egg was camouflaged naturally by the sheet of snow which had collected on top of the egg shell, but the fetus inside the egg did not freeze. Instead, the colder temperatures triggered another genetic process in the creature's body. It started to change genders, just like some reptile fetuses had a tendency to do. As spring came, many rodents, snakes, frogs, insects, squirrels and raccoons would find the large egg and use it as a stepping stone, jumping on top of it in order to run up the willow tree, which was already growing back strong. But even the pressure from the weight of a mountain lion still wasn't enough to crush the lifeform inside.

After a whole year of these exciting changes and events had passed, the egg never moved or changed size. But the little baby dragon inside the egg kept growing bigger and bigger. Now it wasn't a tiny little shrimp anymore. The leech-like embryo had developed into a large wyrm or serpent, which continued to grow with each passing moon until finally it grew two eyes and four legs and started to resemble a soft-bodied salamander. Our unhatched infant was now over 3 feet long from head to tail, roughly the same size as a small monitor lizard. Slowly but surely, its skin began to toughen and soon the baby dragon inside the egg started to develop its first boney scales, taking on more of a reptillian appearance that wasn't so soft or slimey.

It grew its first tiny little baby teeth that were as sharp as a needle, and tiny little claws the size of hawk talons and as sharp as cat claws. Soon, fleshy flabs would appear under the armpits of each forelimb, connecting the animal's elbows to its body like a small pair of sails or fins. They were far too small to enable the baby dragon to do anything but swim around faster, but these small flappy membranes were actually the first makings of tiny little bat-like wings. Right now, however, they just looked like lizard gills, and were not nearly developed enough to enable the dog-sized dragon to glide through the air, let alone fly.

They did help with one thing though besides swimming. These gills acted like little bags or kites for catching wind and providing enough lift that, if the hatchling was to run at full speed, it could potentially achieve a sense of temporary bipedalism before landing on all fours. This would help the defenseless little tetrapod to run even faster for small distances on its two hindlegs, giving it a darting edge over much larger predators. It was a useful evolutionary advantage, and a necessary one, for it was possibly the only defense the poor little creature had. The dragon's internal oil sacks helped it to navigate underwater to such a point that even inside its dark gooey shell, the tiny little larval dragon was already smart enough to determine up from down as it swam around in circles, slowly feeding on its own yoke while continuing to grow bigger over time.

Finally the summer had returned, along with the heat and rain. The rising temperatures caused the unhatched baby dragon to mutate and change genders once again in direct sunlight, only this would be the last time it did this, as the dragon slowly evolved to another stage of development which no longer enabled the gender changing process. Finally, the dragon's sex had been determined. It was to become a male dragon, and this would determine the rest of the animal's life as it continued to mature. The egg was getting soft now and ready to hatch as the outer shell began to change colors like a fruit that's been ripened.

The dragon's small, fragile body was now strong enough to meet the new world. It would finally stand a fighting chance, albeit a very small chance of survival in the wilderness, but a small chance nonetheless. However, it did not hatch. Although it had been a year since the egg was incubated, and it was now time to hatch, it had received no care. It had been neglected to the forces of nature, and while the baby dragon inside was very much alive and healthy, it was becoming a late bloomer. The temperature of the egg had not been carefully regulated like it should have been, and the four-legged beast inside was still underweight. So it continued to hibernate under the weeping willow, lest it become a dwarf dragon and too small to fulfill its intended purpose. Rather than hatching which would risk stunting its own growth, the baby dragon instead lay dormant inside its egg and did nothing, allowing the time to pass.

As the time passed and days began to change, so too did the unhatched infant dragon. It had slowly evolved and developed nicely into something which looked very similar to a gliding lizard, only much larger. It's oil bladders started to mutate and become gas bladders, while it's gills became gliding membranes. It's lungs grew bigger while it's toes and claws grew longer. Finally, the tiny dracodylidae was ready to hatch. It wiggled around and twitched quietly, pushing its slightly curved elongated snout against the egg shell from inside its pink, gooey veined center.

At first there was a crack, and soon the egg shell began to break away as the tiny forelimb of a dog-sized reptiloid reached out from between the cracks, curling its talons and hooking on to the edge of the busted shell. Then another hooked claw appeared, gripping the egg's outer shell as the scaley dragon lifted itself up. The egg's lid rested on the creature's head as it poked its face out, it's large round golden snake-like eyes simply menacing and frightening to behold with their diamond-shaped black pupils and slanted, scaley brow ridges. If ever a slimey salamander could look evil or dangerous, it was now, as it tested the air by tasting it with its forked snake-like tongue. It was obvious just from its appearance that this animal was a carnivore.

But even predators have to partake in the race for survival at some point. The infant dragon's natural borne instincts took over, and within moments, it managed to break free from its heavily armored egg shell. It didn't seem like much, but the struggle to get free had left the little baby dragon exhausted and tired. It crawled out into the world for the first time since its conception, and proceeded to rest between the protruding roots of the old willow tree. Although its scales were harder now, its flesh was still soft and slimey, covered in a protective layer of mucus which gave off a pheromone that would temporarily ward off predators. However, the baby dragon was still brittle and weak with soft skin and cartlidge-like hollow bones. Breaking free and hatching from the egg was tiring and the baby dragon had no choice but to rest afterwards. It would bask in the sun and dry out, allowing its body to absorb the sunlight and warm up, giving its heart and lungs the boost needed in order to get its blood pumping. The dragon's skin was sandy in color and semi-transparent like a newborn gecko. Although it had claws, its talons were still soft and very small, more useful for climbing and digging than for hunting or fighting off hungry wildcats.

After a few minutes, the newborn's claws and skin had dried out and hardened wonderfully. The large lizard reared its head up for the first time, and like a frog or gecko, would almost comically lick its large round golden croc-like eyes with its blackish purple, forked snake-like tongue. It was tasting the air, and becoming more familiar with its surroundings. The baby dragon could already smell other animals from over a mile away. It could hear their footsteps with its false ear lobes, located behind its eyes where it still had gills. It had a rounded snout and looked almost cute, if only for its small size and disproportionately big eyes, tiny cat-like claws and itty bitty webbed toes. It croaked its throat, or tried to, but no sound was presented by the creature's tiny call to its mother. It couldn't even chirp, for its body was still developing and the baby dragon had not yet learned to use its vocal abilities. It tried again as it's neck bulged, but again to no avail. Soon, it began to crawl or slither on all fours, taking its very first baby steps. It started to crawl along the forest floor, leaving the natural nest it had been in between the roots of the still burnt but partially green, old thriving willow tree for the first time in its entire life.

The baby dragon dwelled peacefully and quietly in the Hidden Glen for quite some time, undisturbed and undiscovered. Although there were many natural predators in the forest, the baby dragon was already adept at surviving on its own. It had inherited cleverness and cunning, and its smaller size enabled the dragon to serpentine and run very fast on its belly like a large monitor lizard. When it couldn't outrun its enemies on land, the baby dragon ran into the lake and hid in the water. It sometimes crawled into tree hollows and rock crevices to escape from much larger predators in the forest. There was no shortage of places for our young fledgling to run and hide, and yet it very seldom found any danger that could threaten its growth or progress in such a remote environment.

As time went on, the Hidden Glen became even less dangerous, for the baby dragon had started to grow. At the size of a large dog, there were many predators that had tried to hunt it down from time to time. But as it grew to the size of a large horse, those same predators that used to hunt the baby dragon were now its prey. The scaley beast had developed sharp boney horns and long raptor-like claws. Its eyesight improved along with its taste, hearing and sense of smell. Its brain developed and it grew in intellect, acquiring rationalization and keen instincts. But that's not all. As the beast's muscles, body and bones continued to grow, it developed the ability to use its gas bladders to mimic the different sounds and noises it could hear in the forest. Soon, the baby dragon had become the ultimate hunter and top predator in the Hidden Glen, and all the other animals in the area fell silent and went into hiding whenever the horse-sized reptilavian monster came strolling through the trees.

Five more years went by, and not a whole lot had changed. The baby dragon hadn't grown much bigger in all that time, and it still couldn't fly yet, but its two bat-like wings had developed wonderfully, long colorful fleshy semi-transparent membranes attached to its forelimbs enabling it to climb or glide from branch to branch. The dragon had all the right parts and pieces now, carefully crafted into its genetic design by way of natural selection and millions of years of evolution, a nearly sentient species that had survived numerous mass extinction events and was now the perfect predator. The horse-sized reptilavian monster was large enough and powerful enough to become the king of the lake, as it now hunted lions and tigers, bears and even small crocodiles, anything in the Hidden Glen that used to pose a threat to the dragon's survival was now the dragon's food.

But the dragon wasn't ready to venture out into the world or leave the natural sanctuary of the forest just yet. Life in the Hidden Glen was perfect for the baby monster. There were no humans or other sentient creatures around to pester the growing majestic beast or threaten its security. The Hidden Glen provided plenty of food, shelter and water for the dragon to sustain itself and live on. It was the perfect habitat to raise a dragon in, and the monster felt very safe for the time being, progressing slowly as it continued to feed and grow. After a while, the dragon grew to be twice the size of the egg shell it had once hatched from. By now that egg shell had all but disappeared from weather and decay, so that the seasons of change over the years had erased any evidence that the dragon had been born in the forest at all. The new creature had achieved a huge bit of secrecy as it remained hidden and undiscovered in all that time, continuing to develop and grow very slowly both in size and intelligence.
