Princess Jasmine clung to Anduriel all she had, her head low as she tried to avoid the stares she was getting. A few ponies couldn't help but gag a little at the sight of her. "Where are we going?" She asked softly, shrinking against Anduriel's side as the street was filling up with ponies again, a good many having hidden away at Deathfang's spectacle. She wanted to get out of the city soon as possible, but she didn't want to leave any of her hoard behind. And for now? Prince Anduriel was the only one of her hoard that she had... Well it was hard to explain. The guards and Moral Compass were still in her hoard. But they weren't with her. She couldn't see them. She had no idea where they were. They'd been taken from her and she couldn't get them back. But Prince Anduriel was here, he was something that couldn't be taken from her. Though she did fear of being taken away from him. Said fear had been the very fear that had pushed her past her fear of being eaten by Deathfang. Prince Anduriel was part of her hoard, and she'd had more than enough of her hoard taken away from her today. |

Anduriel shrank down to match Jasmine's size, and hugged her gently. "Oh princess, what happened to you?" He held her for a moment, before taking her hand in his and leading her off toward the castle. His emotions were at war with each other, and he had no idea of what to do with the mare-turned-dragon. Thus, he did what was simplest; follow protocol. "C'mon, we're going to the castle. I don't know when or if that guy will be back, but I don't want to leave you out in the open for him to find. If you hurry, we might even be able to get you a cell with your guards, does that sound nice?" |

"I'm not a princess. I told you, I lied about that to him so that he wouldn't eat me." Princess Jasmine lied. "And they're my friends, not my guards." It was weird to walk with three legs, and she found herself tripping in no time at all. She had been walking for awhile, but she still found the proportions of the body weird has heck. She didn't want to be in a cell at all… but she supposed she'd be lucky to have that. Neither she or her guards had any money on them. Her guards probably had money… But their financial situation was likely very dubious considering that they were connected with her alleged death. "But being in a cell with them would be good." She added softer. |

Anduriel shrugged; she was sure to come to terms with her new form at some point, and it was fairly obvious. She still had traces of a transformation spell on her, for Celestia's sake. "Whatever you say. Now, come on, we need to get you somewhere safe." He led her up to the castle, and took her aside for a minute. "Okay, nopony is around, it's just you and me. Now, who did this to you?" |

"Well there were two dragons. And then some not safe for woona action happened. I happened. And then awhile later I happened again when I hatched." She didn't really know how dragon eggs worked, but they were laid and then they were hatched. So that sounded about right. There was no way she was going to have Prince Anduriel actually knowing that she was Princess Jasmine. She didn't want him to know. She didn't want anyone to know. She was hideous and ugly and wrong, an abomination of nature and she couldn't have anyone knowing what she had become. |

Anduriel was unimpressed. "Uh huh. Right. So, you must've had a pretty hard life, then. Explain to me what it felt like the first time you fought a dragon for territory. Every hatchling goes through that within the first ten or so years of their lives, and it's something you remember forever. I still remember my first dispute, what about you?" He knew that only a real dragon would know the answer to this, and so it was the perfect question to tell if she was really who she said she was. |

Lets see… What was a fight like? "Wait. You got booted out by your mother when you were ten? That's harsh." Especially considering that his mother was Tahk. Cross that. For any dragon that would be harsh. They lived for thousands of years, and to start fighting when they were merely ten was the most… Off thing she had ever heard. They'd still be considered babies at ten years old. If kirin culture was anything to go by that was. They weren't considered not children until they were 200 years old. And dragons lived far longer than that. That was a big if. Even so. Within the first ten years? That would be rough. |

Anduriel shrugged. "It's the way of the world. Hatch, leave the nest, bum around the continent for a few centuries, get a job as a royal adviser. That's my entire life, more or less. Now, what about you? What was it like the first time you fought a dragon after leaving home?" |

Dude. Being a dragon had to suck. Though, it wasn't really a surprise. She'd seen how the outside world functioned. First from the changeling visions. Then from the dragon that had cursed her. Then from Deathfang. Then from the bandits that had tried to rob them. And now from the dragon's careless and cruel treatment to their kids. No surprise really. The world outside the royal castle sucked. It was the worst ever. And for now she was going to have to live in it. "The guy bit me in the neck and sucked out a shit load of my blood like some sort of demonic vampire. I had to run away." |

Anduriel simply shook his head. "Jasmine, your lack of real-world experience doesn't do you any favors. A dragon doesn't just stop in bloodlust, he'll drain you dry. Which will kill you. And it's not like you could escape; once it has your scent, it will track you down and finish you off; there's no way you would've survived the year, let alone this long. Now, do you want me to turn you back to normal or not?" He was totally bluffing about being able to change her, but she didn't need to know that, nor could she. For all she knew, it was an innate dragon ability. |

Yah. One dragon had already said that they could do that. And she wasn't going to fall for that again. Even if she did know Prince Anduriel, she didn't believe him when he said that he could fix her. "I told you, I'm not Princess Jasmine." And him calling her just Jasmine was not appreciated at all. It was really rude. Not that she let it show on her face that she was offended. She should have figured that. This world was homicidal. She was surprised that the streets weren't stained red with blood. Though… Considering how clean she had heard Canterlot was, that was no surprise. Very good at cleaning up after themselves. |

Anduriel crouched and looked into Jasmine's eyes. He knew it was her, and her repeated insistence that she wasn't was just making him believe it more and more. If it wasn't her, she probably would've given up by then, but if she was still fighting it it was fairly clear that she was trying to protect herself. He didn't really need validation from her over it, and so he figured he would play along. "Well, given that you're not a princess, we'll need to procure some sort of work and housing for you. I can set you up with an apartment, but after the first month you'll need to pay your own rent. So, where would you like a job at?" |

A job? Ha. Ha. Ha. Really funny. Like she could get a job looking like this. She left this purple slime where ever she went and smelled bad to boot. Princess Jasmine just huffed at the idea, looking away from Prince Anduriel. No. There was no way she would be able to get a job. Or even her guards. They would be set free, doubtless. But they would be blacklisted. No one in all of Equestria would hire them. She was just going to have to get used to eating grass. As gross as it was. Not much other choices. There were no Royal cooks around. So many things she missed… Princess Jasmine yearned for her home desperately. But more powerful than her draconic instinct was her sense of rightness. And it wouldn't be right to go in there. She was dead. And the political ramifications of not being so would be disastrous. |

Anduriel shrugged. "Even looking like that, there are some things you can do. Dragons and the like are always highly prized for field work, due to their increased strength. C'mon, I'll take you down to Sweet Apple Acres tomorrow and see about getting you a job with them. If you're lucky, they might even throw in room and board, and then you'll be set. C'mon, if we go now we should be able to catch them just after they finish the day's work." Not entirely caring for Not!Jasmine's reaction, he walked off and waved for her to follow him. If she did or not wasn't really his problem. |

Princess Jasmine was by him every step of the way, not having lagged behind. She didn't want to be left alone with all these… Things. These monsters. "I'm not strong." She said. Even walking this much was exhausting. She hadn't been used to doing so much. She was so tired. Terror had been keeping her up all this time. And now that she was safe she wanted to just sleep for awhile. She had slept before, but that had been laced with adrenaline and fear. Fear of being eaten. But she was safe now. Safe… As she could be here. "Can you slow down please?" She wheezed. |
