The Phoenix & the Dragon

Something's wrong with Pearl. She's... changing. It doesn't make sense and she's getting more than a little worried. So, she decides the best thing to do would be to travel a bit until she finds some answers.

If only she hadn't been kidnapped by an insufferable idiot and transported to the most magically deprived place on the continent. Between the Dragon's, well, draconian politics and the fact that she almost died twice in the course of about an hour? Looks like she isn't the only one having issues.

Warning: This is a two-parter. The second half is out now!
