[ she had asked a couple of friends along on a walk, because she needed to clear her head and talk about some of the stuff that had happened over the past couple of weeks and, oh!, a shortcut. she hadn't ever noticed this before. lady hesitates for a second, because something seems off about it, but as she spares her friends a glance, she realizes that she just kind of wants to get to their destination sooner rather than later. she's antsy, since she's not really good at this sort of thing. sharing. least of all about herself. her past, especially. her abilities too. she makes a noise low in her throat as she starts down the path, but eventually she realizes that this was a terrible idea. there's no longer an end or a beginning. the path just is. she slows to a stop and just freezes up. she should have listened to her sixth sense. ]

[ lady had made the mistake of attempting another powerful spell from home. why? her magic is all that she had. it defined who she was and, in her opinion, it still did. the magic here, although amazing in its own right, is not her own. it's not that she hadn't been doing well in her studies, but it just wasn't the same, and her missed her own brand of magic, which is why as soon as the opportunity presented itself ( again ) she took it. ]
[ it's not like she hadn't eventually gotten the other spell under control... after days of freaking out and having her friends helping, b- but that's neither here nor there. ]
[ she finds a small clearing to practice in, using modification to change the environment around her to make small constructs that will act as target dummies for the minions she summons to attack. though obviously not real she should still be able to direct them to the twisted wire frames in the shapes of various monsters. ] Duvokun! [ she calls out and from behind her the portal opens, several of the damned drackin spirits shambling out to do her bidding - oh which there is really any. the wire frames aren't exactly what they're looking for, so guess what! it's time to bother people. ]
[ the 'damned' drackin are 'malicious' dragon spirits from lady's world that will alternate between petty vandalism and graffiti, incredibly inappropriate flirtations with those nearby, and dancing - and poor lady is going to be trying to wrangle them back into the portal the entire time! ]

Do not mock me. I am well aware of my strength. I am more powerful than any human, and it was not a human that made these prosthetics, but a dragon from my own realm. We are capable of a great many things back home, which is why some of the humans took to worshiping us. But that was their choice, and one that shouldn't be taken from them. Why bother enslaving them? We don't need their power when we're already so much more powerful than they. Is it because you're frightened of what they're capable of? Since they're capable of learning magic. You're still a proud dragon...

Proper dragon spirit. I like you. It is about time one of you offworld dragons acted like one, instead of like a mewling weakling! I had begun to despair.
[Naturally, it does not seem intimidated. But her rant had granted her a measure of respect in this dragon's undead eyes.]
You are wrong about one thing, though. Humans cannot learn magic. Not true magic, not magic as we dragons can wield, as we are. Their minds cannot grasp the possibilities, their bodies cannot contain them. They wield a mere slice of magic they battered into submission with rules and laws and limitations -- a clever workaround, I admit, but insufficient to challenge dragonkind without the element of surprise.
As for why enslave them? Well, simply this: no matter how strong and powerful the master, it is still less work to bind someone else to do the meaningless tasks.
