" Though we need to get you to be a dragon, it would be.so. EPIC!" She said in a fan girly way.

"Um, are you okay?" She took the bird's temperature with the back of her hand on her forehead.
" I'm fine. I just kinda wish I could be giant. It seems so cool!" She said excitedly.
"You wish to be giant? I can't even get up to full size."
" But I can help you!" She said. " How big can you get?"
"My human stays the same, along with the scales I get and apparently my tail. But my wings are always full sized."
" Then first we should try to just grow," she said.
"Do you realize how difficult that is, the rapid distancing and replication of cells?"
" Which is exactly why it goes first," she said simply.
"Wouldn't it be easier to turn into a dragon first of all?"
" Hmmm.....," she thought for a momment. " It would be as you have had some scales before, but seeming as you could already get scales that part would be easy, but rearranging your cells into a different shape seems as hard as rapidly increasing and decreasing them," she said.
She snuffled. "I just want to do this, I don't want to focus on the science, I've been a failure all my life and a weakling. Technically, I wasn't supposed to leave the mountain til I could do a full transformation."
" But what stopped you, and made you leave," she asked.
"Eh, he got all pushy and wouldn't let me go down when I turned 18, even though he'd done nothing whatsoever to celebrate or anything or give me anything. He never really cared."
" and did he ever try to teach you how to turn into a dragon?" She asked.
"Hundreds of times," she said, and each time she'd failed, he'd been derogatory.
" and would you like to prove him wrong?" She asked.
She nodded. There wasn't much else to do.
" Then don't do it for him, do it for yourself, isn't that how dragons are supposed to be?" She asked.
"That's why I left," she explained, "He was so frustrating and unhelpful and- and needy!"
"Yes, he was so bossy and controlling- urgh!"
"Yeah, and you've mastered your stuff?" she asked, feeling jealous.
" I only have to flap wings," she said simply.
" I guess, but for the longest time I was stuck inside my home," she said.
"How long is the longest time?"
She sighed and stood up. "Well, I'm going to go- I dunno, ignore math for another week."
She sighed, the spine melting off her back. "I just wish I could be a normal supernatural child."
"How is this normal?" she asked. This bird didn't know a thing about what she was talking about, but Zerai liked talking with her.
" I'm sure you aren't the only dragon to have this obstacle," she said.
"And, um, how many other dragons have you met?" she asked, pretty sure her fellow students had more important things than to be understanding and nice.
" Well I think there's some old one up at home, but mom said to leave him alone," she said.
"And then there's Ashe," she said resentfully. Jerk.
" but he didn't have your problem," she said.
"Not at all." And he'd tried to force the transformation. Granted, she now had a tail, but... That had hurt!
" so maybe we try to ask around? Maybe a dragonology class is here?" She said, not ever wanting to look because she didn't want to tie herself down to one dragon.
"Hmm. I doubt it. All the scholars were probably killed for getting near the dragons." She folded her arms. Her father had done a bit of slaying as well.
" what if the dragon was the scolar?" She insisted.
"I don't know that they'd want their secrets out," she said, "And I learned from my father, he was disappointed I couldn't do the transformation as well, he's said at least a hundred times that he's never heard of a child so useless as to not be able to undergo the shift."
" Well giving up won't help," she said. " Tell you what. We'll get you to shift, and then beat him up!" She said.
"No! Not my daddy!" She said, pouting and folding her arms. "He meant well. He was trying to make me mad enough to do it."
" so you need to be mad to do it?" She asked.
"It's never worked before," she sighed.
