"Sential, welcome your sibling in dragon-speech" whispered Morwen, knowing the little dragon wouldn't know human speech.

Sentinel looked from the red dragon to Morwen, a bit unsure. Then he met the slitted gaze of the newcomer. Greetings! he growled in a friendly tone, I am Sentinel, eyes and ears of Mirkwood, silver shadow guardian of Kayla. The golden one is Bamini, sacred dragon of Rhun, friend of Morwen, former queen. We have long awaited your arrival.
Shifting its wings, the dragon slowly took one step, miniscule claws piercing the coals, then another. Step after step the dragon emerged from the flames, until finally it was right before the silver dragon. Scales glimmering as if the fire was trapped inside, the ruby-colored dragon finally spoke. Grrrrreetings, the dragon tenatively spoke back, a definite feminine tone in the firey voice, it is good to be finally free! The she stretched her wings, flapping them a few times, scattering tiny sparks from the fire.

Cocking her scarlet head, the new dragon gazed up at Bamini in wonder. I am Dariah! she proclaimed, arching her neck proudly and flaring her wings again. She looked around the cave, drinking in the details of her surroundings. She noted the two humans, Kayla and Morwen, they were called. What strange names! Her curious eyes scanned them up and down, then she turned to Sentinel and asked Are we the only ones?
Kayla, too, stood silent, watching the baby dragon interact with her newfound relatives. How perfect it was, an exact miniature of both dragons who stood before her. Kayla wondered if it could be a female; she did notice a sleeker, more feminine air about the new one. For now, she was content to watch, thrilled that the dragons now had one more chance for revival.

We are the only free-dragons, Dariah-drake. The two woman behind us are ones who wish to see our race rise once more, our race is rare and we are kept in close captivity. However those two see us as free creatures rather than flying weopans. He explaied carefully.

She bared her ivory teeth, needle sharp, and let out a ferocious growl Then we must free the rest! she declared. It was a henious crime to hold one of her race in captivity, especially as a weapon.
Sentinel shook his silver head in negation There are not enough of us, Dariah, we are the only free ones. Besides, we do not know the locations of all the dragons He was rather amused at the personality of the young dragon already shining through. She was all fire and willpower, a fighter, to be sure.

You will get on well with Kayla, Dariah. She has similer veiws. But i'm afaid its impossible. Morwen knows more about politics than any of us, and she will confirm that its not an option we have if we want to surive, plus the fact that the 'captive' dragons will kill us if we try anything. They are loyal to thier master's, just as I am loyal to Morwen With a flick of his head he turned round.
"Morie, come here." She smiled and came over to his side and inclined her head low. "May i present Dariah-drake, dragon of Fire, the free-willed dragon." he hissed warning her codedly of the new ones temprement.
He turned to Dariah. May I present Royal Lady Morwen Dragonfreind. Abdicated Queen of Rhun and its Empire, Preistess of Araw the Great Valar.
She welcomes you and wishes you the blessing of the Vala. He said translateing her words.

(I'm putting Dariah in bold and Sentinel in regular italics, just so you know)
I am most gratified to meet you, Lady Morwen, and I have nothing to offer as return except my friendship, Dariah said, folding her wings primly. Though she was a red dragon, her breastplates were tinged with silver, and her eyes were the same steely hue as Sentinel's, a physical clue to their relation.
Sentinel took note of Bamini's introduction and turned to Kayla. "Kayla, this is Dariah, dragon of free will and fire," he said. Kayla walked to his side, placing a hand on his silver head. "Greetings, Dariah," she said, knowing that Sentinel was translating for her, "I am Kayla, wanderer and friend of dragons. We have long awaited your hatching."

"Do not underestimate yourself young one, (Bamini choose not to include that enderment in his traslation) you are only a few minits from the egg, but already i see you have great strenth of mind and quite probebly body. You have much to offer." she finished with a smile
(cool)

Dariah grinned dragonishly, her teeth bared and a small growl of pleasure escaping her throat. And I hope that none are dissapointed in my accomplishments, she growled, meeting Morwen's eyes. Then she looked at Kayla as well. So this is my new family, she concluded, nodding her triangular head in satisfaction. A mischievious look in her glinting eyes, she said cunningly, So, where can I find some food? I am hungry! Hatching is hard work.
Sentinel chuckled, a growling, rumbling sound, at her statement. A true dragon, she was, hungry after being hatching for only a few minutes. I shall get you a meal, he declared. Jumping out of the cliff, he fell for a bit off the overhang, then spread his wide silver wings and dove into the forest, hunting for food.

"Dariah, you will need to keep near the fire for the next few days, just as a safty precation. No" she saw the dragons recation even as Bamini traslated. "Do you see Bamini here. He is a hybrid, able to use both ice and fire, gold in hue becuse he was brought up in the desert. His breed are the largest but he is only a few months old. He was given the best of care when he hatched.
Sential, partly this is his breed, but it is mainly because he was left out in the elements for a day or so by himself.
You are a firedragon, you must stay near the fire if you wish to grow to your full potential." Stated Morwen matter of factly, Bamini blushing as he translated.

She shifted her wings, taking in all this information. Glancing at the flickering flames, she finally snorted a bit, resigning herself to this. Very well, I shall stay here until you judge it safe to venture away, she sighed. Going back by the fire, she curled up into a crimson ball, her silvery eyes peering out into the caves.
Sentinel was very successful in hunting; these woods were untouched by human, elven, or any other sentient being hands. Catching a very plump rabbit, he flew up to the cave opening, landing lightly so as not to crush the fresh meat. Placing it in front of Dariah, he stepped back. I am hungry myself, Sentinel said to Bamini, Care to hunt?

Kayla shook her head. "No, I am fine for now," she said. The wind ruffled the flickering flames as the two dragons took off, their wings flapping. Sitting back down, she watched Dariah consume the rabbit, then fall asleep by the fire. "So I assume we keep the fire going for a while more?" she asked Morwen.

"Aye, about a day maybe. Then she can leave it, though i'd still like there to be a fire in the caverns. For cooking and such, and for where she; if fact any of us can go when we're cold." she said thoughfully. "I'm sorry, she's your dragon, and i'm ordering you in her care. Old habits die hard it seems"
Bamini flew over the valley next to Sential So what do you think of Dariah?
