I awoke to a most shocking sight. The whole town was destroyed, building were now ruins and bodies were everywhere. Mangled peices of furs I\'d just seen yesterday were all over the place. Chared remained of the vixen and lapine was what stuck out most in my mine. I growled and looked around me to find i\'d been chained to the ground by my wrists. I closed my eye and felt out with my ki, feeling around for any survivers and roared as she pulled at the chains!

I feel a circle of people around me, what I saw was all fake. Someone wanted me pissed and I was. I pulled hard and enhanced my muscles with ki enough to make the chains groan as I pulled, digging my toes into the ground for leverage. I then saw the illusion waver and my bother stood before me, if he was still worth of that title.

he was a tall dragon, a good thirty feet tall, if bone thin from lack of physical power. He looked at me dead in the eye and laughs as he walked towards me. His dark scales, the color of rot and decay, glisened sickeningly with expensive oils. He\'D long ago gave up all else for magic power, but it showed in his sunked eyes, burning with power as they were they looked ready to fall out of his head.

\"Daemon! What the hell do you want? Haven\'t I beaten your panzy ass into the ground enough for you to just give the fuck up?\"

\"Well dear bother, it\'s time you are made useful. You were blessed with strong spirit and body. I can\'t take the spirit, but I can take you body from you and i will to use it as my own!\"

Before I could reply his hand reached into me and i feel my soul ripped away and was in momment nothing mroe then a free floating soul. The magi around Daemon began to chant and dark energy lashed at me. Without a body I was helpless and turned and fled, flying through walls and door ar blinding speed till I was far away, how far I didn\'t know. I set my feet to the ground and began walking. i had to find some way to get my body back but Daemon magic has always been more then i could handle, it was always a tough fight to beat him, usually involving me giving up control to chaos... but he had my body, he had my chaos and ki now... but how in the world did he rip me out of my body?

All of a sudden a felt and hand wack me on the back of my head. needless to saw normally a ghost can not be smaked and sneaking up on me isn\'t hard unless I\'m distracted. I turned around to see one person I EALLY did not expect to see. He was a snake anthro and a good six feet tall with green scales and the loose clothing my martial arts order. His body was thin and lithe with the long muscling of a true martial artist, fast and good for striking with fists. He also wore the master\'s sash, black with four gold stripes.

\"Thyron! What are you do... oh forget it! it fits right in with the other strange crap happening today.\"

\"Well Zan, still haven\'t grasped tranquility have you? Yes.. And i see it\'s cost you dearly! it\'s time for you to return and finish your training.\"

\"You kicked me out of the temple and banned me from it for being a creature of chaos remember?\"

\"Yes, but that\'s not true any longer is it? Come! we don\'t have time to waist. We must take you back to the temple before you fate. I have a body you could take if you are willing to give up being super powered and excepted being limited then having to learn to defete those limits.\"

\"I will return on one condition, no more trying to have me reborn as a female snake.\"

\"Yes, very well, I\'ll leave you as the gender shifting fool you are. Come to get moves and i have not time for your slow floating.\"

I barely got to blink before I found myself in a soul collecting crystal inside Thyrons pocket. I knew time had slowed to a crawl for me and figured it must be a long journal for me to have time to think of all this while in such a slowed state. That or he failed to have it slow time...

Before I could think on it much me I feelt cramped. needless to say as a spirit I should have felt nothing but I felt small and weak. I also felt myself changing but I couldn\'t tell what was happening, all I knew is I felt hot... very hot. I couldn\'t see or hear anything but I felt like I had flesh and it was burning up. I wanted to scream but I couldn\'t move or do anything, only burn away into nothing with this weak body I was trapped inside of. need thing I new life burst inside of me as I shot into the air. I couldn\'t see what I was, what my body was like only blinding light around me and feel het under me as my wing, or what felt like them, gave out and I thudded onto the ground.

I looked around me as my eye slowly got used to the light and could see my new body in the mirror and needless to saw was taken aback by my drastic change in appearance.

My scales are a bright crimson color like that of fire, while my belly is covered in orange feathers, adding to the fire look. I have fluffy puffs of down feathers on my arms just below the elbow, on my legs below my knee and on my my chest under my neck. I have large, metallic purple eyes, with slitted gold irises that are quite beautiful, they shine brightly in any light and seem to always have a living fire sitting inside them. Long, bright platnum blond hair flows down to my waist. It has a great silky smooth feeling to it and seems to never get tangled. I keep it tucked between my horns so it stays out of my face. My wings are orange and yellos once again the fire look and are covered in long soft feathers. I\'m twelve feet tall so I do tower above most, but not too much so.

I\'m not overly broad but not too narrow. My muscles aren\'t huge but they are very well toned and defined from years of combat and training. I have horns on the sides of the back of my head that point straight back; making them impractical for use in battle unless someone grapples me from behind, then they get two horns in the face. I have large wings with a 28\'3\" wingspan that are also very usable for flying. I can flight at a good fifty miles per hour with my wings unaided. I\'m a clearly anthro dragon, standing firmly on my foot claws with my back straight. I also have a very long tail, fifteen feet to be exact, that can move around like a tentacle and grab objects, making it quite useful. I have three fingers and a thumb on each hand. My fingers are long and my knuckles stick out a bit when i ball my hands into fists. On my feet are three talons in front then a forth in back for hanging onto branches and other such things. Unlike most dragons I do not have a very long neck, but like the rest of me it\'s very flexible. I also have three hearts. One behind my upper left pec, one behind my upper right, and one in the center of my chest.

I was enough like my old self to be happy but different enough to feel a bit weirded by it all. I stood up and then looked at myself more closely then at Thyron.

\"What the hell did you do to me!?\"

\"I put your soul in a dead pheonix egg then tossed you into the volcanio we are standing on.\"

\"Couldn\'t you have picked a less painful way to bring me back?\"

\"No, but I could have made it more unusual.\"

\"I\'m not going to ask how. Anyway, what is my first task, what must i do for my training.\"

\"Learn to wait and give things some time! you rush things too much!\"

This was going to be a long period of training, I could feel it...
