The gates slowly closes behind you as it dispersed into the air, like a white patch of smoke. Swallowing hard, you wonder when will this chain of dragons ever end. A shady path lays before you with a light layer of mist. You knew the routine already. Walking among the path, you looked back and saw that your movement made a clear trail. You continue on your way when the surroundings around you was revealed by a stream of light from above. Boulders lined the pathway with assorted yellow flowers peeking through the cracks of the rocks. It was strange because the enviornment was deserted and dry, not a hint of water in sight. The ground cracked beneathe each step you took as the sun beats down on your head. The path seems neverending. Bullets of sweat trickled down your forehead and you wondered when will the path come to a halt. You pant heavily, desiring water to revive your parched lips. A glimpse of water was seen from afar. You hoped that it wasn't a mirage. Your heart lightens as you run towards the water and take the water into your cupped hands and soothe your throat with the water. Wiping away with the back of your hand, you found yourself in the shade of an oasis. Palm trees lined the small oasis as shades cast down on you. Sitting near the cool sand, you saw that the path no longer was there. It had vanished. Where were you now? Glancing at your surroundings, you found hills upon hills of heated sand from the blazing sun. You were in a desert. Exhausted from the day's trek, you decide to rest while you can in the oasis. Placing your hands behind your hand, you laid down but only to meet cerulean eyes. As you open your mouth to let out a scream, it was soon covered by his paw.
"You better come with me, human. Your stay at this oasis is not welcomed."
The gold dragon picks you up by the collar of your shirt and leaps into the air, expanding its wings. The desert below became a blur as you dangled in the air by this mysterious dragon. Soon the desert became flatten with rocks and soon a mount of a volcano peers closer. Its jagged base pierced through the ground and the tip seem to be surrounded by dark clouds that was heavy with asphalt. Swallowing hard, you wished that you would return back to the oasis, where safety was secured. The golden dragon lifts you up a bit higher before diving down into the fiery pit that laid below. Thinking that the dragon has brought you to your death, you were wrong. He glides into a carved tunnel inside the volcano and dodges the sharp corners in the tunnel. You couldn't see what lies beyond each one because of the darkness that soon took over. Suddenly, you felt the dragon come to a halt into a lighted tunnel. A light from outside pierced through the opening of the cavern, not big enough for the dragon to pass through to make it a easy shortcut. In the middle of the cavern was a nest made with lava rocks with its tips, pointy like daggers. There a dragon was seen, tossing a stripped bone in her paws. The carcass of a dead beast laid near the nest as she quietly dines on it. She knew of your prescence. Picking a bone, she breaks the tip and makes it into a tooth pick. She picks the remaining meat that was stuck between her ivory teeth.
"You foolish human! Came to my oasis with permisson."
In a blur, she flings the tooth pick and flings it at your head and found its mark near your cheek. Its deadly tip was embedded into the steel wall and the dragon smiles.
"My name is Io, daughter of Golden Heart and Merita. My friend, his name is Thanatos. Besides, what brought you here in the first place?!"
"The gate from Triton--"
Before even finishing your sentance, a fire ball scorches the wall of the cavern as she pouts.
"That stupid gold dragon! I told him not to let any one here!"
Io continues with her muttering until the dragon taps your shoulder.
"Do not fear the dragon's curses. She is just acting brave like a real Fire. She just have a crush on this dragon named Midas. A very unique dragon indeed with--"
A fire ball nearly devours the dragon as Io's nostrils flared.
"How dare you! You shall pay!"
Thanatos sticked his tongue out, teasing the teen before retreating with Io's at his heels. You were left alone in the cavern.
