    Braenix snarled to herself as she stalked up to the enormous sycamore, eyeing it irritably. If she had just kept her mouth shut when that lousy cat had fallen out of that branch, she wouldn't be in this mess, trying to find a tree that would hold her weight just to prove a point. She could fly, damn it! Why should it matter whether or not she could climb a tree? But she was a dragon, and she couldn't very well turn down a challenge without looking ridiculous. Stomping up to the tree's base, she folded her wings tightly behind her back and reached up for the first branch.

    Padding over, Maggie giggled as she poked the dragon's tail. "Why are you climbing? You've got wings!"

    pais noticed that the dragon was trying to climb the tree, but she didn't question it. shifting into a black bear, paisley darted past braenix, taking a flying leap and digging her long, hooked claws into the tough bark. this species was specialized in climbing, paisley knew. in only a few seconds she had scaled most of the sycamore, and pulled herself onto one of the uppermost branches. " see you at the top! " she roared, perking her rounded ears as she peered down at her.

    "Because NPC bet me that I couldn't!" Braenix snapped, winding her long neck down to talk to Magnolia. "Just watch me!"


    Turning her attention back to the tree, the dragon dug her claws into the sycamore, grabbing a thicker branch in one claw as she pulled herself upward. The tree groaned in protest to the strength of her grip as she moved upward, but she kept moving, pulling herself up branch by branch. Soon, only the tip of her spiked tail dragged the ground, and she twisted her neck around a branch to keep going. The bark scraped against the scales of her belly, sending a shower of mossy wood to the earth below. Following Paisley's lead, she wound her way through the tree. Her wings ached from how tightly she held them to her back, but there wasn't room in the tree for her to comfortably extend them without snagging on every other branch. Halfway up the tree, she extended her head out away from the trunk to look up, grumbling when she saw how far she still had to go.

    Maggie frowned as she stared up at them, seating herself as she blinked at Pasiely with a smile.

    ”You can do it, Braenix!” Azreal would call out encouragingly to his half-sibling as he trotted up to stand by Paisley, looking at the dragon with his silvery eyes.

    Growling irritably at the tree, she crouched as well as she could and flung herself higher. Her claws dug into the tree again as she switched her grip from the branches to the trunk itself. The branches were too small to bear her weight up her, but her claws were strong, and the trunk could take it. Digging in like an ice climber, she wound her way even higher, recognizing the scent of the air as it began to take on the various tangs of the wind above the valley. The air only smelled that way near the top of the valley, above the treeline. That meant she was getting closer. The wood cracked in a wounded groan, and Braenix froze for a moment. Straining her neck upward, she made the final leap to the highest stretch of trunk, wrapping her neck around it.


    She had done it! The roar rumbled deep in her chest, and she crowed her success to the valley below.

    *retro to her being captured & maimed*
    giving a small huff of approval, paisley praised woo, try saying that five times fast " good, braenix. i'm sure your mother would be proud right now! " she gave her a hopeful smile, wriggling her black nose. she quite liked being a bear.

    Kyni had been silently watching the whole time. She doubted she herself could climb a tree, but the dragon had clear reasons of celebrating, including the fact that most trees would have simply dipped or snapped like a pencil if a normal dragon had tried climbing it. "Good job, Braenix" she barked, her fluffy white tail twitching
