It was a pleasantly warm spring day in the country of Astreau. A woman and her small child played in a grassy meadow, shifting between forms. The dragoness shimmered in the sunlight, her twilight colored scales glinting in the warm rays. She turned and her form shimmered into the body of a young woman with flowing blue and purple hair. Her child mimicked his mother, though there was something unique about her offspring. Rather than a full fledged dragon, he seemed to have features that were more canine. His slender body was scaled but he had wolf's paws rather than talons. His head was coated with a thin layer of fur which continued in a mane down his back. His long reptilian tail was coated in black fur. As his mother stepped back and transformed into a humanoid figure he copied her, taking on the appearance of a small child of about five or six with messy jet black hair and glistening blue eyes. His mother smiled, her amber eyes brght with her love for him as she placed her hand on his head, ruffling his hair playfully. She looked up as she heard something moving along the forest path. She watched, waiting to see if there was any danger.
