The awakening

Sita moaned as she slowly awoke. Her head felt like a train ran over it, and her whole body was feeling weird. She tried to open her eyes but to no avail : her vision was so blurred that it wasn't even worth the effort.
She finally gave up and waited some minutes to feel slightly better. During that time she slowly started to remember what happened. She was at that show, and suddenly felt dizzy, finally collapsing. But so, where was she ?
Sita managed to raise her head and to open her eyes. Her vision got sharper as she was trying to examine her surroundings.
The first thing that struck her was that she was in a cage. So she was kidnapped ! She tried to move to look around, but her body was responding... weirdly. She looked at it to see if there was a problem and blinked at what she saw. But... That wasn't her body ! She had to try to move her flippers to accept the fact she wasn't seeming human anymore. Her neck was much longer, which allowed her to watch her massive blue body much easier. She really was looking like a see dragon, a bit like the Loch Ness monster.
And she was feeling dehydrated. Not only thirsty, but really like she needed water. Sita inspected the room she was in, hopping to find a way to have some water, and gasped when her look crossed two glowing green unblinking eyes. Whoever or whatever those eyes where belonging to, Sita couldn't clearly see their owner as he was hidden in the shadows. She peered to try to see him better.
The eyes' owner moved closer from her, as far as his own cage allowed him. Sita now could see him better, a black dragon with lots of sharp points over the neck and wings.
"I see you're also awoken." the dragon simply stated.
"Yes... Who are you ? And where are we ?" Sita asked.
"I'm Calemvir. And as for where we are... I've absolutely no clue. Maybe the two others will know... And you, what's your name ?"
"Calemvir ? Hey, it's me, Sita !" she exclaimed herself.
She looked around to see that there were two other cages with dragons in, one looked like a pterodactyl and the other one was a more classical red western dragon. They both were still asleep.
Calemvir just blinked once. "I'm glad to know you're safe. Because I don't know what happened to all the others..."
Sita nodded. Where were all the people that were at the show ?
Her attention was drawn by an other dragon that started to move, moaning.

Solaria blinked as she woke up and moaned under the headache she was feeling. She put her hands on her head and heard it made a strange sound. Surprised, she turned her head to try to see what was causing that noise. She discovered, astonished, that there was a leathery membrane linking her forepaws to her tail, attached on her flanks. She had two huge wings ! She also noticed that she had a long light blue beak. Well, in fact she was looking a bit like a pterodactyl, instead her body was white, her chest blue and her wings and beak light-blue.
Looking around she saw that she was in a cage and that two other dragons were looking at her from their respective cages.
"Oh... Where am I ?" she asked difficultly.
"We don't know either. I'm Sita, and this is Calemvir. Who are you ?"
"I'm Solaria." she answered. She was feeling too dizzy to hold a full conversation, and the sound of a moan made her look toward the last cage.

Lông moaned as he slowly regained consciousness. He tried to open his eyes but his vision was so blurred he closed them again. He was feeling weak, but well that was quite normal after having been forced to sleep...
After a minute he opened his eyes again and tried to raise his head. What happened wasn't exactly what he expected. As a human, he just had to lift the base of his neck to raise his head. But there, he felt like his neck raised up but his head stood on the ground. He was so surprised he suddenly raised his head - in the right way that time, so that he violently hit the top of his cage. Stunned, his head and his neck fell again on the ground.
When the pain started to disappear, Lông opened his eyes again. His vision was now less blurred, and he could see his... Erm, wasn't that supposed to be his hand ? He moved it to be certain of what he was seeing : where his hand should have been, there now was a clawed and scaly red paw. What the hell happened ?
Lông carefully raised his head, taking that time care not to smash the top of his cage - because yes, he was in a cage... Understanding that his neck surely was longer than usual, he tried to curve it to observe his body, the neck taking sometimes comical positions while doing so.
But it was worth the effort. Amazed, Lông watched his red scaly body, which seemed quite muscled compared to his former body. He had two big wings on his flanks, a long tail with spikes running from his neck to the tail. The dragon grinned widely. A dragon ! He became a dragon ! His chest became hotter with the joy he was feeling.

Well, but time to take care of his surroundings. He noticed there were three other cages with dragons inside those cages. He suddenly wondered wether a dragon could speak or not. He got reassured when he managed to speak.
"Ugh... Where are we ?" he asked, his voice being hesitant. But he already was enjoying it, that voice was much deeper than his human voice.
"No one knows. I'm Calemvir." the dark dragon answered.
"I'm Solaria." the pterodragon repeated. "So now we're all awoken..."
"My name's Sita. Yes, what should we do now ?" she asked.
Lông nodded. "I'm Lông. So we all were at that festival, right ?"
"Indeed." Solaria said. "What happened exactly in fact ? I just remember having collapsed..."
"It was a trap." Lông growled, enjoying that new way to express his anger. "I was at the front, I heard that click when the gas started to spread. Now I understand why that Dragonman made some of his tricks twice..."
"And even if we wanted, we wouldn't have been able to get out of the tent. These tigers blocked me when I tried, I was at the back of the crowd. This was carefully planned. We have been kidnapped."
The three other dragons nodded in agreement. They had been kidnapped, and they had no clue what would happen next.

And there's the next chapter ! That time the RP really began, and the characters discover their new bodies.
In fact I only covered one page or two of the RP. At that rhythm there will be loads of chapters XD
