Ness leaned her head into Cam's hand as he caressed her cheek. She didn't normally get a chance to relax and show her softer side so she relished that she could do it now.
"An instruction is needed then. I can do that my dragon. Once you have taken a dragon your scales will change. When you shed your scales or give one if asked then they are normal scales. But when you have mated with your rider your scales take on a different aspect. As you know, Dragons and their riders are often hunted. It is not always convenient to get your cache when you need it. The spells that have mated us allow your scales to become money. The catch is that it must be freely given and NOT asked for. That way if one is caught and the scales taken thinking they will become rich from them they are mistaken. Or if they are asked to be given it will not benefit the recipient. Of course they are still dragon scales so that, by itself, lends a monetary value. Now, however, you can chose what your scales will be when you voluntarily give one up without being asked for it. For instance, you could turn your scale into a gold piece of the same size. Perhaps you prefer silver. You will find you have a silver nugget the size of the scale. Mythril? Not a problem. In fact, if you concentrate hard enough, some say that you can do that to your scales while they are on you and give you even more protection. I have not witnessed that aspect of the change myself."
Ness smiled at Cam and ran her hand over his chest. "I can instruct on things pertaining to the changes and other things since we are mated. I cannot, however, just tell you things. The Eldars figured that if you knew enough to ask then you must be ready to hear the answers."
Ness stretched up to kiss Cam and then continued afterward. "As for travelling through the ground, I am afraid that if you shape change you will be attacked. You must be in your dragon form for that part. It is one of the guards set in place. I will, however, keep that ability in mind. It could prove interesting on some long journeys."
