With the sun still sleeping, the dragon found himself most at ease to move around. The blackness of night concealed his heavy, dark body, making him an unknown danger from above. His wings beat high up in the air. Here, despite the season, the air was still chilly, and he continued to fly, his green eyes staring down at the land before him. The one eye brought back little in the way of shapes, the land below him distorted. Still he forced it to see, determined to gain back his sight.

While he soared, he inhaled deeply, looking for any scents of wolves. The territory was not inhabited but it was easier to pick of loners than take on a whole pack. A puff of smoke exhaled from his nose curled in the air, whisping up as he went. Nothing seemed to stir on the ground below and with a sigh, he turned his body. Divebombing towards the land, his wings folded against his sides as he moved towards the ground. It was only when he was a few hundred feet from the ground did he pull out his wings, breaking his fall. The dragon landed nicely on his legs, his green eyes casting a wary look around him.

Again, nothing. His eyes narrowed and he proceeded to move around on the land awkwardly. His huge body seemed to flatten the grasses in the prairie, but he had little care of this. His belly rumbled and with no wolves around he would need to find another way to satisfy his hunger.

It didn't take him long to find a rabbit's burrow and the rabbit, having been frightened with the dragon's landing, lay curled up in it. Occifer chuckled, placing his maw at the top of the burrow and blowing a stream of fire into it. Then he proceeded to dig, finally digging up a charred body and searing it with his claw. He ate the rabbit like an hors d'euvre, glancing around and looking for more rabbit holes.

He continued in this way for the next eleven or so burrows, searing them and then eating their remains. [/blockquote]

The scent of burning rabbit was caught by an old Gaian female. Her icy blue eyes searched for the source in the utter darkness of the night, completely interested by what had burned such a juicy morsel. Her scales lifted and rippled in excitement as she stood at the base of a tree. If she were to be lucky, perhaps it were a fire lupus she could have a little fun with. In the moments following, she was sure she could find a way to kill the thing that had taken the life of the rabbit. They were not far from where she was, so she padded over to the nearby stream and revealed herself in the moonlight. Her scales were silver with darker tones throughout. The patterns that she adorned were spots and stripes, all of them different shades of blue.

Braelyn stepped into the water and submerged herself, taking off with an extreme speed through the stream. Her massively long and thick tail propelled her through it with ease, along with the help of her compact and webbed paws. She poked her head above the surface and slowed herself, leaping out of the stream on the side she had entered it. Though she could have simply walked to where the burned rabbit and its killer had been, she wanted to get there faster than she would have been able to on land. Her tail weighed her down on land, but it did nothing but give her speed in water. It was a great weapon on land as well, heavy and hard to dodge when in a fight.

She padded through the grasses and towards the smell, only to find a massive black shape there. Not only was there the smell of a few burning grasses, the charred rabbit, but there was the scent of the large black creature as well. It was a dragon. She had seen them before and had never usually dared to approach them. She wondered how it would go if she were to approach this one. She would not allow the dragon to kill her, no. Water was close enough for her to escape with ease. She stopped several feet away from the dragon, a coy smile wanting to play with her lips. She held it back though and spoke, "My, my... How impressive for a mighty dragon. I smelled the rabbit stink from where I was..."
