"Yes dear one, we are ancient race. we contain magic elemental. It is our choice what we do with it." Tala gave me a mental hug. "You would not have said that word if you had not been in grave danger. Each holds its own power. In the langauge if magic, it contians the truest form. Which can control, kill and rebirth in an instant. why only a few lines have it. To much power of everyone." She felt still close and the warmness of her words settled me around like a bubble of power.
"What is thiisssssss," I heard the voice before I seen it. My eyes snapped to the location I guessed it came from. Just outside the bars, the reptilian face and a kinda human shape to its body.
"I did some decorating," I shrugged.
"You mouthy bitch!" it snarled and stomped off.
"Well at least he got that right." I heard Tala chuckle.
You could hear the sounds of him mad as a hornet and running down the hallway. I was curious how long it would take to see whoever he ran to get. A minute or two after his sounds stopped you heard a hissss followed by a low rumble. the ground vibrated. Though this time I did not feel its wrath within my circle. The rumble and vibration was getting louder and louder. I was curious what this monster truly looked like.
Nervous excitment built in me. I was not sure what to expect. Then I seen a whisp of black smoke. More began to billow, and swirl until it was a a mass of dark twisting smoke circling around each other. "How have you done this wolf?" It growled.
"Well I thought it was to drab for me so I spruced it up," I smirked.
I could feel the vibrating energy coming my way but it bounced back and hit the swirl. The smoke vibrated and screamed, twisting this ans that way. Until it went poof, gone. No screaming just empty space.
"Tala?" I asked in my head.
"I think, it killed it's self." She was just as unsure as me.
"Well do I try the gate?" I asked.
"Why not, if its open perhaps we can get an idea of a way to go." Tala guessed.
"Worth a shot," I stopped and paused a minute. "Where are these caves located?"
"No one knows." Tala sounded solid in that thought.
"Ok, well if we get out we can figure out where we are I guess." I figured if we were out it was better then being in. I pushed on the gate and it popped open.
"Let's go!" Tala yelled excitedly.
We ran, turning corners dipping into areas when we seen or felt other creatures coming. But when no one was there, we ran fast and we ran hard. Making it to a room with fountains and trees told me.we had to be getting close to the surface. I turned a corner and that is when I saw it a luminous white dragon. I skidded to a halt. Try to back peddle, I slipped and fell flat on my back. I had no idea if the dragon saw or heard me. I knew I had rounded the corner. I would lay there and wait.
Staring at the ceiling, I hoped and hoped that it hadn't. Until I saw the nostrils and teeth turning the corner. I held my breath. I looked down with golden colored eyes. I almost thought I seen a smirk, as clawed hand wrapped around me. Picking me the dragon moved fast for being huge. Darting through tunnels and to stopping at a stone wall. Looking down at me it winked! So it had smiled! Who was this dragon?
"Sleep," it said, releasing its breath in a golden haze.
"Who are you?" I breathed and as sleep found me while Tala hummed.
