Infinity sat in a small enclosure just big enough to stretch her large wings. She narrowed her eyes at the glass walls that were curved far above her head. The very top was a metallic railing where little creatures called defective turrets would throw down her meals to her, like some sort of common animal, and not the great dragon she knew she was supposed to be. She gave a drawn out sigh, this was the only place she had known as her home for years. Sometimes when she slept she would dream of a home within the forest, far away from this place, far away from the pain.

She rose her black scaled paw to inspect her sharp claws. How she had clawed at those walls, tested them, tried to climb. Each time she had succeeded her captor had made sure they were not able to climbed. She slipped one of her digits underneath a synthetic orange texture that stirred around her chest, another grim reminder of her capture. For even when she closed her eyes she could feel it around her. Her talon traced down her chest to a white logo and the writing Aperture Laboratories. She shook her head slightly as she remembered the blade that had carefully tore through her scales and flesh.

Her eyes traced her large body, covered in numerous scars. Some she had forgotten how she had gotten, and she knew there far more than the ones on her white underscaled belly. She stretched her wings slightly, inspecting the membranes, that looked like the vast star filled sky she knew was beyond her prison. How she longed to be back in the sky's embrace. She frowned as the only thing she could remember about it was foggy, and she had been happy, laughing as the winds battered her snout. She had been with someone then. Or at least I think it was someone. The form of them was just as clouded as the memory, almost like it had begun to be stripped from her very mind. How long until everything memory of mine is just as foggy?

Her eyes went next to the dim artificial light hanging overhead. It hung from a vast ceiling even beyond the open top of her enclosure. This was her only sign that it was day. Or at least she believed. When the light would be turned off for her Night" period, she could make out the electric tube that appeared to be the source of the light. She gave a snort as she resettled her wings, kneading the one small patch of grass in her enclosure. She curled her tail around her as she contemplated when she would try to escape next. There had to be a way...somehow. She shook her head as she tried to forget all the other times she had escaped, only to be dragged back here every time, with another thing meant to keep her contained. She held her head high up at the ceiling, and snarled. She rose to all fours, turned herself around, and with a great sigh laid back down, placing her snout in her paws. Her ears perked as she heard the sound of the one that had kept her here. She felt a shiver run through her body. What does she want this time?

The voices came closer towards her with the sounds of footsteps. One she could remember, the metallic, unnatural voice of her captor. She was no mortal nor dragon, nor any creature she could even remember. Instead, she happened to be a creature made of cables and metallic plates, with nothing resembling a facial trait except for a single, terrific yellow light. Whatever that creature was made of, she knew what evil lurked within his heart - if she even had an actual heart. She fought the urge to bare her teeth at the speakers diffusing her voice, for she knew what horrors she could inflict on her with a mere flick of his wrist. She tapped a claw against the floor of her cell, as her bright green eyes widened.

"Hello, and again, Welcome to the Aperture Science computer-aided Enrichment Center. We hope your brief detention in the relaxation vault has been a pleasant one."

Suddenly, noises of steps filled her ears. One of her personality spheres? The thought raced through her mind, But she never brings them here. She tapped a claw against the floor of her cell, as her bright green eyes widened. She got himself a test subject! That had to be it, unless she decided suddenly to entertain guests after all these years. She shook the doubt from her mind, rustling her scales. No she was certain, it had to be another test subject. I hope it's not like the last one. She twitched her tail, and held her head up slowly trying to fake disinterest.

From the speakers emerged the voice of her robotic captor once more. Here we have our most prized test, Infinity. Please do not frighten at the sight of looking at a real living mythological dragon. The consequences may include fainting and aggressive response from the test."

She snarled internally as her name was casually thrown around like trash. She may not have known the outside world for long, but she knew her name was only meant for friends, family, and dragons. Not for mortals, or whatever she was, to use out of their fat little speakers, especially not cruel things like her. She should have used her title, Night Rising.

From the metallic, automatic door emerged the small young face of a human whelpling, with the same orange fabric she was forced to wear. He's young I think. She cocked her head to the side. Or at least I think he is. She was never really good at determining ages. She watched him as he stared at her with bright icy blue eyes, he moved closer towards the glass cell, touched it with his hands, and leaned forward to get a closer look. It was hard to tell but he was giving her a look she had not seen before in his eyes. It seemed to be fascination, mixed with wonder.

The Enrichment Center guarantees our commitment to the strictest safety regulations. Nevertheless, we remind you to be constantly careful under this test's presence" the speakers spoke again. The creature you are currently staring at has been designed to be genetically empowered for military purposes. The last test subject was indeed killed upon her action." The voice paused for a moment. She ripped the test subject right in half. The test chamber remained unused for almost a week due to the blood causing the floor to be too slippery."

She watched the human's eyes fill with fear as he continued to look at her. The entire time his gaze had never left her. She could not help it as she moved her snout a tad closer to get a better look.

Am I safe up here?" He asked nervously, glancing back at her captor.

The glass that contains her has been rigorously tested to stop her from using her innate genetically improved abilitieswhich includes her deadly neurotoxin breath."

Neurotoxin breath?" He asks, turning his gaze back to her. I thought I read black dragons spit acid!"

That is but just one thing that makes this test here so special. It breathes deadly neurotoxin of brilliant green. That said, if she gets the chance, she will no doubtedly kill you faster than the turrets."

Infinity gave a snort, and placed her head back into her paws. Of course there was nothing new here. This test subject was going to be just like the last, she knew it.

Her wings are very pretty. Like the night sky." the boy said.

She glanced back at him with one of her eyes. That almost sounded like he was still not afraid.

Well don't let her wings entrap your gaze. Remember she would surely use them against you, no matter how beautiful they are" The speakers said. You are now required to come back, where cake will be served to you immediately." The boy still stood there, watching. He ruffled his black hair with his hand.

Well if he's going to watch me... She gave a great big yawn, taking care to show the human her rows of razor sharp teeth. She then rolled onto her belly, staring up at him. ...then let him watch all of me.

Those look really sharp." She heard him mutter under his breath. And I wonder if she named you. If she did it's a really good name, powerful, deserving of a dragon." She snorted in amusement. She never heard praise being tossed her way. Maybe he will be different.

Please come back" Yelled the robotic voice.

One second!" He shouted out, turning his head back towards the metallic door he had come from. He glanced down at her one last time and gave her a slight wave, and scampered off.

Well that was certainly interesting.
