"Is that so?" Crow asked. He gave a fanged smile. "Then I take it she is a vampire as well?"

She raises an eyebrow. ,, Are vampires normally bird-winged lions with human faces? ,,

"No, the point is. If we travel together then we will stand a better chance than if we were alone. As a team we might even win. I'm a lord vampire and you saw what they did to me."

,, I can insta-kill anybody thats not good at riddles. Eirini can kill people just by singing. Kelpie is immune to poison and is more than capable of defending herself. ,, She lists her and the twos abilities irritably. ,, We dont need you. ,,

"Fine then stay behind." Crow said. He didn't wish to tell them everything he could do, there was no point they were being stubborn. There was a soft squeak as the pure white hatchling climbed out onto his shoulder. "I know little one, soon you will be back with your family." He said lightly petting the dragon. Dexion's eyes widened. There hadn't been a dragon alive in nearly a thousand years yet now one stood before him.
"Where did you get that?!"
"The egg or stone as you called it. It's my mission to get her back to the mountains, to free all of the dragons from their confinement. That little elf is what you will be helping me with."

Neko scoffs softly.

"Count me in then!" Dexion said reaching up to pet the little dragon. "Man she's cute! I wonder what the bigger ones look like!" He looked back at the others saddened they wouldn't be following along. "You aren't even going Kelpie? I thought we were best friends..."

,, I dont like going anywhere without Erie..,, She replies softly.

"But dragons...you are always going on about them. This will be your chance to see a grown one!" Dexion said with a wide smile. "We could go together!"

She looks like she might start crying. She doesnt meet his gaze.
