"I'm pretty sure we're nearly there.  In fact..."  Arda trailed off and darted forward, ahead of Thag.  "Yes!  There it is," she called back.  Ahead through the trees a dark hillside was just visible, with a darker blot of a cave mouth against it.  She trotted directly to it and stepped inside, smiling at the feeling of the earth all around her.  She was the exact opposite of claustrophobic, she liked small spaces.  Though this cave was fairly spacious, really.  There was more than enough room for a second dragon.<br/><br/>----<br/><br/>Violette breathed out a sigh of profound relief as the skeletal dragon ran off.  Then she jumped, letting out another little squeak at the sound of another dragon behind her. She spun around, but relaxed seeing Tanith there.  She remembered seeing her before, when she'd first arrived on the island, and she had seemed nice enough.<br/><br/>"I'm fine now that it's gone," she said softly, trying to summon a smile and straighten up a little.  "It's just been a long day."
