He remained where he was as Tovar ducked inside to investigate before once more returning to announce it was safe.<br/><br/>Zoticus turned his head to watch as the last rays of the sun dipped below the horizon, plunging the world into darkness as the silvery moon rose to take it's place. He could hear Wind Caller and Tovar talking, and knew they had entered the cave by the way their voices sounded. Looking towards the other young dragon Zoticus smiled.<br/><br/>"Come now little one, go join Marrow." He said, nodding in the direction the others had gone. Being the last one to approach the cave, Zoticus could still feel a sense of sadness over the young music dragon. He settled close to the entrance, blocking some of the cool air that came in, as well as guarding it from any intruders. His tail swept the rocky floor behind him as the old dragon watched the others as they began to settle.<br/><br/>-----x-----<br/><br/>Thanatos ignored the prideful comments of the vampire dragon. Looking in the direction Lazarus Sun had mentioned, he felt a thin tendril of smoke escaping his nostrils.<br/><br/>"What are we waiting for than?" He hissed, digging his jagged claws into the earth beneath him as the spines along his back rose.
