Devon was hungry.

Not in, like, that horrifically primal way one might imagine a dragon to hunger, but in a simple, satiable way that could be remedied by a warm meal and a nap.

But one has to fight for such luxuries in the valley, and Devon was not the fighting type. She wasn't sure how she ended up here, anyways. Friends don't drop friends in the middle of the badlands after a night full of wines and whiskeys and bad bets. Especially not dragons like Devon. She hated the sensation of mud in her talons - reared by a family of aristocrats, now she was nothing but rags. Not that her family would welcome her back, anyways.

Maybe this was a new start. Maybe her family had told her friends to dump her here, to shape her up. She loathed the lot of them. She'd show them. She'd become the heiress to a fantastic fortune out here, make something from this stupid dirt and grass and oH MY ELEVEN IT'S A SHELTER-

Devon trotted as fast as her legs would carry her (while still looking good) down the hill towards the shelter, and saw not one, but two buildings, buzzing with dragons. Her eyes lit up.

As she approached, the dragons grew still, and all stopped to watch her as she made her way towards them. Keep it cool, Devon thought to herself. You're a star.

"Excuse me," she began, with a voice as smooth as silk. "My name is Baroness Devon DeMalley, and I am hopelessly lost. I would like to speak to whoever is in charge of your fine establishment, in hopes of-"

"That would be me."

An imperial, nearly twice Devon's size, stepped forward. At first she seemed to blend in with the rest of the dragons, but now that Devon had noticed her, she was all she could look at - the imperial commanded attention. She was rugged, no doubt, but her hair fell in all the right ways and her eyes seemed to sparkle with ambition. Now this was an imperial in charge.
