((Apped with approval from relevant characters. Apologies to the mods for taking ages to post this up, RL's been getting in the way.

ETA: Sorry for the massive slow down on replying! Am currently in another country for boring work stuff. I also get to see Dethklok... twice. \m/ RL's very hectic right now, I'll get back to tagging regularly when I'm less frazzled.))

His purpose thus fulfilled, not even Nidhögg could resist the pull of the Sorting Room any longer. He made use of his forelimbs to gain purchase as he climbed the castle's steep walls, his great leathery wings fanning out, large enough to block out the returned sun and cast the castle into shadow. Perhaps due to some enchantment or other his claws and the sheer bulk of his weight did no harm to the stone.

He investigated several openings in the walls before eventually finding one large enough to permit him partial entry. Bowing his head through it, he continued to writhe until he was able to squeeze his forelimbs through as well, and paused there, peering at his surroundings. The rest of his body remained coiled about the castle outside.

The room, though large and spacious by human standards, felt cramped to the dragon, and an impatiently tapping quill was for the moment his only company there. Then a disembodied voice was addressing him...

I think I was upstairs, in the attic, looking at those two twin beds I'd shoved so close together when it happened. I don't remember too clearly what I was doing, only that one moment I was at home, and the next I was here, dressed in my favorite leotard and pointes, in this drafty room. The chill in the air caused my nipples to harden, and I stared for a moment at my body, still supple and graceful even though I was nearly 30. Good golly dayy, but all the practicing I was still doing even though I no longer had a chance of being a prima balerina had kept my figure svelte and lithe! I had never had to worry about things like keeping post-pregnancy weight, nor did I have any stretch marks! I was beautiful, and I reveled in my beauty!

I glanced around the room, rubbing my arms to warm myself up. I was in a drafty stone hall. I wondered if I was back at Foxworth Hall somehow, then reminded myself that was foolish! The Grandmother and Grandfather hadn't gone for castles. Oh, their houses had been grand, but there was no glitter, nor were there any priceless objets d'art in the room. There was only a table, upon which rested a stack of papers, with a quill pen hovering over them.

Suddenly frightened, I ran to the door, pounding my fists against the wood, but nothing happened. I flung myself against it, trying to break it down, screaming for Chris, for Doctor Paul, for Julian, even for Bart, even though the latter three were now dead!

Nothing availed me, and eventually I felt a bit foolish. I walked over to the table and sagged heavily in a chair, staring at the papers. Surely someone had to come collect them! I couldn't just be locked in here forever, alone, without even my Christopher Doll for company... could I? And I might as well fill this paper out. It would give me something to do before I was rescued!
