Keep up little one…. We’ve got another day of flying to do… if you fall behind we won’t make it to council! Elder hissed over his shoulder in the wind.

Ximly flew three wingspans behind him, and struggled to keep up with the large dragon’s pace. It was difficult for her to keep up with the slight pain in her body. She shook her head, she couldn’t last much longer having to fly on her own. She winced as she pushed herself to fly faster, attempting to get to Elder’s shoulder to tell him. He honestly couldn’t expect her to fly after not resting…. That was a serious injury.

Elder looked over his shoulder at the struggling morph. Having trouble?

Ximly nodded with a look of pain on her face, causing the dragon to drop back and take the girl within his talons. I’m sorry Elder… She hissed quietly, slightly saddened.

Quite alright dear…. Elder hissed softly, gaining speed again.

“If she is not here by now, what are we expected to do? Hmm? She was the one who originally set up this meeting! We have a schedule!”

Please Councilor…. Calm down…. A White dragon hissed, staring down at the small, elderly human that sat between five others.

Be logical, Elder Black has not come either… There is sure to be a reason for this. A grey one hissed slowly, causing the white one beside it, and the feathered one on the other side of it, to nod in unison.

“Elder Scale, we have waited four hours past the set time for this meeting. You can not honestly expect us to wait any longer…. With all due respect Elder… we have waited long enough.” The man said standing up, causing the others to do so as well.

“You can’t leave just yet!! Ximly will be here!! She’s not one to be kept from a meeting of this importance!” Rika hissed suddenly, glaring at the man. “Head Councilor, please… just wait…”

“You, Professor, are the Co-founder of this rehabilitation center…. Can you not bring the issues of concern that you have filed, to the light of this meeting?” The head councilor hissed, harshly.

Rika recoiled slightly, but did not let down. “We are relocating the haven to the knowing world… There are too many poachers in the area for the Haven to remain secret and safe.”

The three dragons looked at her, the white and feathered one with somewhat shocked expressions, but the grey with a nod. It is to be expected……this never was quite a good location either…. However, for the uknowing world, it could have been worse. He hissed, noting the black down on one of the men’s jackets.

Carrying on the meeting without us? How inconciderate of you, Elder Scale…. Elder hissed as he landed on his hind legs beside the Elder Scale, gently placing Ximly down beside Rika, who was too shocked at the state of her friend to even scream.

The council men looked just a shocked, and Ximly looked horrid. She wore a snarl on her face as she stepped forward, but the council men looked smug. “Concilor-“

“Finally. Miss Brainen…. It has come to our attention that you request a relocation?” The Head Councilor said quickly, yet calmly.

Ximly nodded. “Yes.”

“Then perhaps you need one as well. I do believe that you swore under your status as a dracologist to keep this location hidden and secure.”

Ximly seemed to pale. “Asking for relocation is-“

“A sure sign that you have failed.” The head councilor said, holding out his hand to the man whose jacket held the black down.

The man pulled out a sheet of rolled up paper and handed it to the man, who in turn handed it to Ximly. “You’ve been reassigned to a city location. Full ownership of the sanctuary has been moved to the Professor’s name, and your head of security Nightengale.”

Ximly quickly unrolled the piece of paper, and read it as the Head Councilor spoke. The dragon Council watching her carefully. She shook her head as she read it…. They couldn’t…. She looked at the Councilor with wide eyes. “You- You can’t revoke my membership in the SASD!”

“Ah, but… we can…”
