You decide to pay Erebus a visit. Studying the signpost, you find that the trail you need seems rather short and straight, so you walk it quickly.
You soon arive at a tiny burrow in the dried lava. You look cautiously in, and are startled by a burst of flame-colored wings. Jerking back, you see a tiny creature dart up to levitate in front of you.
The tiny creature seems to be floating in slow motion in front of you. It moves slowly up and down, its orange eyes blinking and studying you. Suddenly, it zips up close to your face, and makes the most horrible screeching noise you've ever heard in your life.
"GREEEEEEEAAAAAAAACHK!"
Wincing, you plug your ears as Erebus screams. After about 15 seconds, he stops, and you unplug your ears. Erebus is eyeing you with interest, in his slow-motion hover again. Then, he darts away, back into his burrow, leaving behind one little fiber from one of his tail fins.
Blinking, you notice a little plaque by the burrow. Glancing quickly to see if Erebus is due to surface anytime soon, you read the text.
Erebus is unable to talk, so this will explain him to you. Erebus is a breed of tiny dragon that is known as the Fairy Dragonfly. They are native to Trialle, where Skyhaven Adoptions is located. Amaryllis was enchanted by Erebus's coloration, and brought him to the Fire Realm. Oops! Hehe, Erebus isn't the most personable creature. He's absolutely fearless, which is generally a good thing, but, in this case, it's a nightmare. His main vocilization is a violent screech, shrill, loud, and long. It's his version of a greeting, so at least try to be honored while your ears fall off. He is, however, very enjoyable to watch, being very graceful, and able to fly as fast or slow as he pleases.
Well, that explains a lot. Rising from your knees, you return to the signpost, Erebus's 'greeting' still ringing in your ears.
