You walk into the cave and enter a midium sized room. You can either stop and look around or go back to the main chamber. The walls are a strange purple color that reflects what little light there is making it bright enuogh to see. On one wall is a plaque with something written on it. You walk closer to get a better look:

AH! Welcome to my chamber,
do step in and stay awhile,
I so rarely host a stranger
in this humble doicile.
You're unqustionably weary,
and could use a bit of rest,
it's my joy to entertain you
as my dearly honored guest.


Undoutedly you're thirsty,
sip some liquid from this flask,
you appear to have some queries,
I shall answer all you ask.
The skulls within the corner?
The bones within the bin?
Mere decorative trifles--
they were here when I moved in.


My teeth, you say? My talons?
My madibular expanse?
Quite the ticket for consuming
tender stems of tiny plants.
This blade you see me sharpen?
Let me set your mind at ease--
I find it indispensable
for slicing bread and cheese.


You say you must be going?
Goodness gracious, why the haste?
Dinner simmers on the fire,
you may find it to your taste.
Whet you palate with a spoonful,
it's a most nutrtious stew.
What's that? It lacks in savor?
Then I'll flavor it with YOU!!!

Strangely the room is warmer than out side you look around and notice a nest of some sort but it is empty. You turn around looking for what could sleep in it when you see a glittering eye in the corner. Curious you walk towards it, but it doesn't move. It's fine lines and esquiset detail convinse you it must be real. When you get within three feet you notice a jewel around it's neck. A small fire leaps up in front of you keeping you away from this creature.:Hello: You jump back hearing those words clearly in your mind yet no one is around to say them. The dragon almost seems to laugh. :I take it you've never 'talked' to a dragon. That's okay, everyone always seems a little surprised at first: He allows the fire to die down and you gently stroke his neck admiring the white scales that cover him. :I am Sapan. I watch over things that go on here at this island. My mistress is probably busy with another task, so I will take upon the task of greeting you formally. Welcome to this island. Here deeper in the chambers you can find poems, a madlibs game, and even a hunt for the Pink Panther. Back in the Keleptic feilds is where the other animals ae located, generally speaking. You never know what you will find in this place. Now that that formal stuff is done with on to more fun subjects. Like I said before I am Sapan. I am a Gemmite dragon originally from MoonStone Weyr. My mistress, Tigris, adopted me when I was still in my egg and raised me from a hatchling. I have the ability to create small bonfires, and so it is usually warm in this chamber. Tigris and I have been to many places including Hawaii, Okinawa, and even Antartica. Antartica was interesting, there was cold stuff everywhere and no sign of life. Well I best let you get on with your exploring: Sapan then jumps up into the air and flys to a cubby high in the walls of the chamber.

This is where I got Sapan.
