Starflight had to admit at this point he was getting sick of both caves and chains. Between growing up trapped in the cave he and his friends had been raised in, plus several stints in various prisons, he felt like he had more than his fair share of both lately. On the plus side, at least he wasn’t chained to the cave, and he wasn’t alone, which would have made the whole thing even more unbearable.
Of course, it was always possible his companion was working for whoever put them here, or there was some sadistic twist at the end. He’d read about a similar ice kingdom ritual one time, where two dragons went into a cave and only one came out. Or when Scarlet threw him in her gladiator arena with one of his friends.
“You don’t think they’re going to make us fight at the end of this, do you?” he asked cautiously, as they came upon another large door, locked of course. He started inspecting his side for any sort of hidden buttons of levers, his claws scraping gently across the stone.
II. Well Met
The middle of the desert, in the middle of the day, was no place for a black dragon. The closest he’d ever been to one was when his friends had skirted the border of the kingdom of sand and the ice kingdom, in the close highland deserts. This was completely different, and Starflight was miserable under the glaring sun. He desperately wished he had Sunny here. He didn’t know if SandWings could navigate deserts better than other dragons, but it didn’t matter. He missed her, and all his friends, terribly right now.
He was flying low over the dunes, the hot air helping him keep aloft, but despite how long he’d been flying he didn’t see anything that would offer shelter from the heat, or water. Gliding lower, he finally spotted the well in the distance and sped up, but seeing another figure nearby he pulled up quickly. Starflight considered landing, but he had no idea if this person was dangerous or not. He circled overhead at a safe distance, likely more ominously than he meant to be, a dark shadow passing over the meager water sources below.
