She screamed then, falling to a knee as she clutched her body, the feeling of everything just splitting and expanding; it was an intense burning pain, and she felt it resonate in her throat then, a woman's screams transforming into the fierce, deep roars of a dragon.

[i]Such noise would catch the two women near Rose off guard, soon with Rose being able to hear Niki's cries, as she ran towards her lover at the top of the boulder. What was once skin would sharpen and mold into thousands of scales, the bones of the wings now expanding and stretching outwards, now forming into the shape of wings themselves.[/i]
-
The pain kept up, but slowly was ebbing as the worst of it was out of the way. Her voice deepened to a grumble at times, as when Niki was halfway to the boulder, one final, deafening roar was heard, a deep and powerful sound from the newborn dragon.
-
[i]Clea fell back in her own shock, though Niki kept silent, looking up as she crossed her hands together. So, she had become a dragon..[/i] "...you [i]are[/i] a dragon!" [i]She cried out, more joyful than she had been beforehand.[/i]
-
Anguished growls escaped from Rose's form, a deep rolling sound from her chest, as she collapsed onto the ground from pain. A voice echoed in Niki's head then, Rose's presence felt, although vast now. [i]"Niki.... It hurts."[/i]
-
[i]It took some toll on Niki as she held her forehead, hand brushing past the small horns that had begun to grow like a crown upon her head, yet she nodded and sighed.[/i] "I can.. dull the pain. If you wish."
-
Part of the pain licked through their connection, an intense heat, then the searing pain of what Rose had felt during the transformation. Although then it shut out suddenly. Another grumble escaped the dragon, a glinting ruby eye looking over to where Niki stood [i]"Don't. I need to get used to it. Are you ok?"[/i]
-
[i]The sudden burst of pain caused Niki to then flinch and grasp her head as it ran through her mind, a quiet groan escaping her barred teeth, though her thin palm would retreat nonetheless.[/i] "Yes, I'm.. okay. Don't be concerned about me, I'm.. a little more worried about you right now." [i]Perhaps Calypso's torture had given Niki some resistance to pain. Not agony, and she could clearly feel pain still, but.. i was something.[/i]
-
A glint of worry tinged through Rose then, replaced by a warm fuzzy feeling as Niki said that. [i]"We should get going, yeah?"[/i]
-
"Definitely-" "[i]What the fuсk?![/i]" [i]Clea was hiding behind a tree, shocked as Niki would begin to climb up onto Rose's neck. She used her lover's scales to her advantage, while her tail stroked the side of Rose's head.[/i]
-
Rose's mind extended to Clea then. [i]"Clea, its safe."[/i]
-
"That's.. ugh.." [i]She would murmur, clutching her head in some confusion. She would approach though, soon climbing onto Rose's back. Niki would hold onto Rose's being, sighing.[/i] "Okay.. okay. We can break through and return to Tatakai if we get a high enough altitude.."
-
Rose hummed then, an odd feeling, as she unfurled the deep velvety red wings on her back, forcing herself up right. In truth, she hadn't flown before, but it seemed natural to her what she was about to do. With a powerful thrust, her wings went down, and the three went up; the dragon taking flight then as they soared into the air.
-
[i]With the two now clutching onto Rose's back, the wind rushes past each of the three as Rose would rise above the Garden, higher and higher above the landscape that she had entered. She could feel her being grow lighter as a darkness would take over her vision, before..[/i] [spoiler]Fin, for now. Ending post coming up.[/spoiler]
