You close the door behind you, and look around.
You're in a huge cavern with several caves
in the walls.
As your eyes adjust to the light, you can make out the twinkle
of stars over head. You realize that part of the cavern roof is open.
You stand, gazing up at the stars, and are startled
by a deep voice from behind you.
"Hello, Stranger. Rasilvenaira said we should expect visitors."
You turn and see a large brown dragon grinning down at you.
"Hello." you say.
"I am Damaar Tris'Elet. I was the first
brown that Rasilvenaira
ever bonded. She took me in after I was abandoned as an egg.
Come with me and I will introduce you to the clan."
You walk beside Damaar.
"Hilyn and I are married, and we are expecting
our
first clutch." he says beeming with pride.
"Congratulations." you say as he leads you to the first cave.
You follow him in and see a lovely orange dragon
resting in a large, sandy nest.
"Hello, Damaar." she says, nuzzling
the brown.
"What have you got there?" she asks, peering past
Damaar to look at you.
"A visitor, Hilyn. They traveled a long way to see us." Damaar tells her.
"Oh, well, hello there. I am Hilyn Kim'Just,
Damaar's wife. But you
probably already guessed that didn't you?" she says with a smile and
wink.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, and congratulations
on your
first clutch." you tell her.
Hilyn blushes, but smiles proudly.
"Thank you," she says "There
will be four eggs,
and one of our children will live here with us."
Damaar nuzzles her again, softly, and tells
her
"I said that I would introduce them to everyone."
To you he says, "Come on, let's go."
"Enjoy yourself, and come see us again." she tells you.
Damaar leads you on to the second cave.
"Macabaar and Andoralyn live here"
he says.
"They have just been married."
As you enter the cave you are greeted by a young brown
dragon.
"Hey, nice to have visitors. Hi, Damaar. I'm Macabaar Shar'Rob. Andoralyn and I were just married."he says, then turns and walks off into the cave.
Beside you, Damaar chuckles. You look over
at him
and he winks at you. "Newlywed jitters," he says, "Macabaar's
usually not so hyper."
You follow the big brown, still chuckling, into the cave. There you see another beautiful orange dragon.
"Greetings." she says, "I am
Andoralyn Les'Wrax.
When my sister, Emmalyn, and I were hatchlings we
were abandoned. I'm so happy that Rasilvenaira took us in.
Now I am married to Macabaar." she bursts into
giggles. "I couldn't be happier." she sighs.
"Isn't she wonderful?" asks Macabaar from beside her, a dreamy smile on his face.
"Yes, she is." you tell him, with a wink over your shoulder at Damaar.
"Well, I really enjoyed meeting you both,
but I
must be going now." you tell them.
You follow Damaar back out of the cave and
move
on toward the next.
"We have another newly married couple,
if you would
like to meet them." he says, deep laughter rippling in his voice.
"Oh, yes I would like to meet them. "
"Come on follow me."
