Keman collided with the wall and sprang back with a yelp of pain as soon as he touched it. His scales had done their job and reflected a lot of the shock, but enough power hit him that it hurt, registering across nerves that were already over-sensitive. He watched warily as the door opened just a little bit, not wide enough for a person to get through…
But he wasn’t a person now, was he, and he was barely a fraction of the size that he should have been for this form. The only mass that had been available while shifting—or, rather, while he was being forced to shift—was that of a skinny seventeen year old boy, barely enough to make a dragon the size of a hunting dog. This was wrong. All of it. The dragon seethed with anger, so much so that red haze filled his vision, and—no. Keman took a deep breath through his new nostrils, trying to calm himself. He couldn’t prove the woman right. He wasn’t dumb animal or a monster.
Steeling himself, the little dragon folded his wings and raced towards the open door. He had to get out of here, no matter what the cost. And not too soon, either. Lightning arced behind him, searing the tip of his tail as he went.
