| Your tired legs give in and you drop to the ground. Looking up, you notice you haven't seen this part of the forest before. The huge cave in front of you is very dark, and not a trace of light can be seen looking from the outside in. You take in a breath of air and get to your feet. I wonder what's in there, you ponder. Must be something big, you add. You look at the little sign nailed onto one of the cave walls and squint to read what's on it: Danger, enter at your own risk. Okay, there's no way I'm going in there, you think. As you start to turn away, your conscience nags at you. But what if there's something really interesting in there? If you don't check it out, you'll miss on alot! You stop then turn back, walking towards the cave's entrance. Thinking about visiting the little one, eh, a voice speaks out. Startled, you jerk your head, watching for someone to come out. That won't be of any use... I'm there, but not really there at all...the voice speaks again. "HUH??!!"you reply, not really getting what the voice is talking about. My, not too bright are you, eh? I'm the spirit that guards this cave, for those who have wandered in, have not wandered back out. Fiery temper for such a little thing, the voice says. You imagine the 'spirit' shaking it's head, then mumble "I heard that. What kind of creature is it exactly?" Ah...he is a Ryuzoku Dragon. Queer little thing, that one is. One day he's as happy as a bee rolling in nectar, the next as foul as rotten cheese. He's got quite a personality of his own, might I say, the spirit replies. You frowns and look at your feet, shuffling them to and fro. "Do you think I could visit him? you ask. For a moment or two there is silence, while you fidget with anticipation. You may...he's in quite a good mood today, probably because he had a huge helping of breakfast this morning. Go right on in... the spirit answers. Then, there is silence. You know the spirit has left. Enter
