If I die young(HATCHING) *Slane*

[Slane*]

Once Slane was clean and finished swimming around, he dressed and began to look around. This was definitely a beautiful place. He passed through fields of grain and grass and smelt the wild flowers as he went through a field of them, as well. It got a little hot in sun, so Slane walked under the shade of some trees. Up ahead, he saw the ruins of what looked like a castle. Intrigued, Slane walked a little faster toward it to get a better look.

Temiera's laugh slowly died away after the tickling had stopped. She rolled back onto her feet and smiled at Sceleris. She was not totally sure what the bigger dragon had said, but she knew that the dragon wanted to look at her so she stood straight and opened her wings. The little things stood out from her body and after a few moments she realized how hard it was to keep them up.

(It's all good. Glad to see you back!)

[sceleris]

Sceleris smiled in thanksand used the tip of her tail to help keep up the wing so she could get a good look at it. It looked like a fine wing. She will tear through the skies with those. Sceleris thought. She complemented Temiera brightlyThey are very beautiful. When you get a bit bigger, I will teach you to fly myself. Sceleris opened her own wings to help show what she meant and flapped them lightly. THe wind created by them was still very foreceful and the grass in front of her waved away from the wings wildly.

The white serpent closed them then and sank back down. Would you like to see where your rider has wandered off to? We might be able to scare him. Her eyes sparkled mischeviously and she looked scented around to make sure that Slane wasn't back yet. The man might have seen her castle ruins and gone to explore them. She hoped that he didn't disturb the books and scrolls she had hoarded in there. She was at a very good spot in one book that she didn't want to lose. Then there were the scrolls about things forgotten to humans that Mother had gifted her with. Sceleris trusted Slane, but she was still very protective over her books. Gold and jewels were fine little baubles to be touched and played with. Her books were not.

[Slane*]

Slane shifted into tiger form and ran up to the castle ruins to check out the area. He was fairly excited and could not keep himself from running faster and faster. Finally, Slane made it to the top of hill where the ruins were. Although the place looked old and most of the castle had fallen apart, it seemed as if someone were still living here. The grass had been freshly trodden on and some of the castle's inside parts did not have vines and plant life growing all over them. He began to wonder who lived here and hoped it was not an enemy. Sceleris had said that she was the only one living in the meadows so far, but maybe this was off of Sceleris' land and onto another, evil dragon's land. As thoughts similar to this effect ran through Slane's mind, he could not help but be cautious and even a little afraid. He slowly stepped towards the middle of the ruined castle, claws erect in the grass and legs ready to pounce at anything that came at him.

Temiera smiled at Sceleris' seeming approval at her wings. She was grateful to the bigger dragon for helping her hold her wings up. After the small inspection, Temiera flapped her wings in excitement and soon the grass around her began to wave. She soon realized that the gust was not from her, but from Sceleris. She jumped around on the ground and imitated Sceleris with her wings. Realizing that Sceleris was talking about someone, Temiera hoped it was the man who had been here before. ae... aaane, She said, trying to imitate the name Sceleris had used.
