"There! There!Arwen squealed, and Samala peered down. Sure enough, a large mound of Earth was piled up next to a rock, with a tall, skinny mammal perched ontop of it. The creature had a thin snout, blackish-brown nose, and dusty hued speckles splattered all over it's back. She had never seen something like this before.
"Arwen, we're looking for a dragon, not a weird little-" she paused to glance at the mammal-"prairie mammal" she teased, and Arwen rolled her eyes. Samala resumed gliding, but Arwen pulled tightly on her antenea. "Look! There! The tunnel next to the mammal. Can't you see the movement?" Arwen hissed, pointing towards the ground.
Samala squinted at the place Arwen's finger led to, and infact she did see movement. Something was traveling through the soil - and it was heading straight for the...the... how do you call it? Oh, nevermind. "See it now?" Arwen asked, and leaned across Samala's shoulder. [/color=blue]"Hey! Make sure you don't fall. We'll have to make some sort of saddle for you at some point,"Samala laughed. "And yeah, I see it,"
Samala glanced at the moving mass of Earth, and paid closer attention. It was going faster. Suddenly, a long, slender body leaped out of the soil and snatched the frightened mammal with it's jaws, before gulping it down. "That's him! Definatly the dragon on your sheet," Arwen whispered, and Samala spiralled down.
Just like on the sheet, the dragon had two front legs with long, sharp claws for digging, and a lindworm like body. It had russet scales with a hint of gold or beige here and there, with muddy crystals jutting out here and there. But the one thing the image hadn't displayed were these creatures 6 black eyes - 3 on each side of it's head.
"Uh... hello," Samala meowed, and was careful to hide Arwen in her wings; she was unsure how this dragon would react. But it was too late. Forgetting the possible dangers, Arwen squirmed out of Samala's grip and jumped onto the ground, giggling. "Hello! she chirped, and the dragon blinked his multiple eyes in suprise.
"Arwen! Get back here! Samala growled, and lunged forward, but Arwen ducked and ran up to the dragon, waving the sheet of paper Magno had given them. Samala didn't realize Arwen still had it. "Is this you?" she asked, handing the slip to the dragon. THe lindworm hadn't attacked her yet, so samala relaxed. She padded forward, and grabbed Arwen's middle. "Hey!" she laughed, and rolled around giggling.
Samala smiled. "Sorry, she gets a tad excited sometimes," Samala meowed, and sat down with Arwen in her lap. "I never really introduced myself. I'm Samala, and this is Arwen; we come from the East, and are part of a group of dragons preparing for rebellion against humans," She really shouldn't have added that "rebellion" part.
The dragon folded the card neatly at looked at her with his huge, dark pupils, and cocked an eyebrow. [/color=yellow]"Well, if you're planning on fighting humans, then why were you trying to hide an elf from me earlier?" he asked. Samala was suprised how gentle is tone was. She also wasn't expecting him to have an Irish accent.
Samala sighed. At least the dragon had recognised Arwen as an elf - unlike Bailey, who thought Arwen was a mini human. The dragons back at camp don't have eh... alot of experience with elves, humans and such, so they would probally think Arwen was a human and attack her - I ran into that problem earlier. I wasn't sure how you would react," The dragon thought about this for a moment, and handed Arwen the sheet, which she took eagerly.
"And yes, I am the dragon on that sheet he said calmly, and gave Arwen a curt nod. "And I presume you would like me to participate in 'yer rebellion, eh lassy?" Samala nodded. Magno sent us. He's kind of like the leader of the rebellion," The dragon nodded, and licked the remnants of food from his lips.
"We should be going," Arwen yawned, who was obviously bored already. THe dragon nodded and prepared to leap into the soil. "I'll follow the cooler soil from ye're shadows flying over head," he grunted, and wriggled into the Earth. "Me' names' Faolan by de' way," he said, and dissapeared beneath the soil.
Arwen jumped on Samala's back, clearly glad to be moving again, and grabbed onto her antenea. Samala unfolded her thin wings and took to the skies.
Oh, and I'm not sure why the colors messed up in the last couple of paragraphs. I'll try to fix it later :3 Nvm, I figured it out.
