<span style="color: hotpink">As everyone in the tavern is going about their own business, a loud ROAR is heard from outside along with many terrafied screams. You also notice that it suddenly feels much warmer inside the building as though the weather outside has changed. Moments later, another loud ROAR can be heard. Then suddenly the roof of the tavern is ripped off, revealing a large red dragon overhead.</span><br/><br/><br/><br/>â€œSo would I,â€ Ryelle said in response to Yovela mentioning that the crystal should have been better watched over. There was little she could do about it now though and was simply determined to return it to its rightful place. She gave Yovela a grateful smile as her fellow elf more directly invited the eavesdropping girl. She had no idea what Tom was doing going over to the crystal man. Sheâ€™d have to ask him later. Ryelle smiled a bit at the eavesdropper. â€œNo apologies are needed. We are indeedâ€”â€œ ROAR! She jerked at the loud sound and her head started turning every which way to find the source. At that very moment, she noticed it growig much warmer. Had a dormant volcano suddenly erupted? ROAR! Her eyes flew to the ceiling as bits of dust and wood rained down. â€œOh my gods!â€ She shouted as a huge red dragon appeared above her head. Sheâ€™d never seen a dragon before and was frozen with fear and amazement.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Tom nodded his head as the other man got up, leaving him to talk privately with the crystal man. However, the crystal man didnâ€™t exactly talk. He yelped in surprise as he suddenly heard a voice inside his head that was not his. â€œA bit of warning next time,â€ he said gruffly as he leafed through the papers heâ€™d been handed. They were identification papers, but none of them held the answers to his questions. â€œWell, I was more wonderingâ€”â€œ ROAR! Tom instantly jumped to his feet and ran back towards Ryelle, who he was paid to protect. If she should dieâ€¦Well, he might as well die too. He stood in front of her, his club raised and ready, his head turning every which way to find the threat. ROAR! Suddenly, the roof was gone, and Tom was staring up at a beautiful but deadly red dragon. â€œOUTSIDE!â€ He shouted, figuring that outside would be a lot safer. He turned to grab his charge and run but noticed that she was frozen. He cursed loudly, picked up the leader of his group, threw her over his shoulder, and ran for the door.
