You decide to take the winding path that leads to Okrav. It seems like a relatively long distance, so you jog it. You're breathing quickly when you reach the cave, but you quickly shake off your exhaustion at the sight of the home of Okrav. The cave is made entirely out of crystal, and it glows red-orange with an inner light. You slip through the entrance, and see the source of the glow.
In the center of the room, you see a pulsating pool of swirling lava. There are smaller pools scattered throughout the cave, but the central one is by far the largest. And, flying above it, and illuminated by its firey glow, is a brown dragon.
The dragon seems to be muttering under its breath and, even as you watch, the lava turns white. Strange, misty forms burst from its depths, taking the forms of dragons, unicorns, and gryphons, among other things. After a while, the dragon stops changing, and turns to look at you as the lava turns red again.
"Spiffy, eh?" the creature inquires, gliding over to stand near you. "I'm Okrav the Magician, Okrav to you. What brings you here?"
Find Okrav to be quite personable, you reply, "just exploring, and I thought I'd pay a visit. Glad I did, that was fantastic!"
Okrav shrugs. "Simple spell," he says, smiling in spite of himself. "But, more about me. I'm just a plain old dragoney thing, nothing special about me, unless you count my spells. I come from Roaring Dragons; Ams adopted me just before it closed its doors. Thank goodness, too, I like being somewhere where I can practice my magic in peace." Grinning, Okrav nods to the smaller pools. "That's where I bathe, actually." He laughs slightly, a sould remarkably like chimes.
"That's pretty cool," you comment, gazing around at the beautiful crystal cave.
"Well, run along," Okrav says, nodding towards the doorway. "You've got a big realm to explore, and you'd best get busy, eh?" Okrav's eyes twinkle as he smiles at you.
You return the grin, waving goodbye as you return to the signpost.
