Dancing Flame sounds interesting, you decide, and you locate the path to his dwelling. The trail leads behind you, over many hills and valleys, so you start off on your trek worrying about the taxing walk.
It turns out to be a breeze, however, and you soon reach a massive cave in a mountainside. There are lava pools on either side of a thin walkway leading to the entrance. Being very careful not to lose your balance, you walk somewhat steadily across the bridge, and enter the cave.
Darkness envelopes you for a moment, while your eyes adjust. Then, suddenly, you see a magnificent sight. It's a pile of gold and jewels, taller than you and four times as wide. And, guarding it, is a powerful-looking male dragon.
The male's yellow eyes focus on you, and he rises. Snarling almost drowns out the telepathic message in your mind.
What bring you here to Flamecave? the dragon demands of you, slinking forward.
"J-j-just exploring," you stammer, watching as the dragon bares its glistening teeth. He stops, however, at your reply.
You wear Dracogrex greyclothes, he observes, eyeing you appraislingly. DanceFlame believe. What you want?
"Well, I was just wondering who you were," you say timidly. The male is about 3/4 your height, and it could easily harm you.
Oh, Dancing Flame says, cocking his head. You no want DanceFlame's pretty things?
Assuming that Dancing Flame is refering to his hoard, you shake your head. "Your things are very lovely, but I don't want to take them from you."
Flame visibly relaxes, and then speaks. I be known Dancing Flame. Call me Flame, it easier to say, no? I be KingdomDragon, from HurricaneWing to Amaryllis as adoption. I be Fire, watch out! Many flames! To demonstrate, the dragon breathes a spurt of fire onto the cave wall. It leaves a black scorch mark, similar to the others that cover the walls of the cave.
Flame much fierce warrior, the dragon continues. Fight to protect hoard, see?
That flame made you a bit nervous, and you nod. "Maybe I should let you get back to that protecting, eh?" you suggest hopefully. "You never know what'll happen."
Flame nods gravely. Many times I drive Calentar away. Naughty naughty Calentar, always tryina steal Flame's pretty things. You force back a smile. Goodbye, traveler-one. Enjoy Dracogrex.
Complementing Flame one last time on his hoard, you return to the signpost to continue your adventures.
