Far from this scene, that adolescent Tyrannosaur was beginning to awaken. Dizzy, and quite confused, the predator squinted open his eyes against the brightness of the day...

Jason's head hurt astoundingly. Opening his eyes, he could see that he was on some sort of rocky ground...but that was about it. His vision was odd, but he let it be for he could see allright...for the most part.
With a groan, he attempted to rise from laying on his side, only to find that his arms were about as helpful as twigs. It then occurred to Jason that that is what his arms basically were now. Another thing he took this precious time to notice was that he was covered in black scales with evidence of white tiger-stripes here and there as he looked down at his legs. The to limbs which had been slender, gangly things before were now rippling with muscle, and also covered in black scales. His feet came to three clawed toes, and, if he wasn't mistaken, there was indeed a tail coming out of his hindquarters.
"I don't know what I ate," he says aloud to himself, "But whatever it was is making me dream crazy..." The Tyrannosaur body he now has was odd, and he knew it would take a lot of getting used to, as his first attempt to stand only made him slide in a circle on his side on the ground.
"Argh..."
After a few dozen failed attempts, poor Jason finally managed to get himself balanced tentatively on his new clawed feet. With a few readjustments- and remembering something his biology teacher had said about Tyrannosaur tails- he managed to master the art of standing for the second time in his young life.
"And now...walking...."
The first step wasn't too much of a problem. The second step was just as good. The third step was a bit wobbly. The fourth step came a bit too fast. Fifth step, sixth step.
Unfortunately, Jason had been standing at the beginning of an incline, so gravity was beginning to take over as hapless Tyrannosaur apparently thundered accidentally into what looked to be the Great Valley to him. He could only grunt and try frantically to stop himself from crashing down into the valley, but the new Rex wasn't so fortunately balanced as he had once taken for granted.
"What a crazy dream..." he groans as his steps carry him thundering down into the unknowing valley.
