Desdemona Hermione

It was hot...She hated when it was hot. She could feel the humidity clinging to her scaley skin and the thick polution filling her lungs. Her wings felt heavy and too tired to be of any use. And her skin held a sickly green undertone in her hands and feet, showing how miserable she felt in the sticky weather.
That was one thing she despised about herself; the way her scales changed colors with her moods. It let anyone know how she felt. And she was one to feel the wrong thing at the wrong time.
Desdemona curled up on a large, flat rock and sighed, staring at the water. She was bored... And she wanted something better to do than to sit around in the sun like a common lizard. She closed her eyes, feeling herself start to doze off, her scales shifting a deep black as her mind settled into an indifferent feeling.
Suddenly, a crashing boom echoed through the shallow valley. The "woman" jerked her head up, an aqua washing over her as she became more alert. Her eyes narrowed into pale slits, surrounded by a deep crimson. Trouble. Her home. Her people.
Her claws scraped against the stone as she took off through the trees, a deep, worried growl leaving her mouth.
