he tried to walk into the room, but seemingly couldnt go in, looking like he was walking into a wall. a kind, young, female voice said, *please show your stones.*

Pyro held up his stone with his snout, and after a second it glowed green and the voice said, *access granted.* Pyro grinned and walked in. he looked around, awed.

the room was split into smaller rooms, with the living room being the largest, with a table small enough for Pheonoxes, resting mats, and a bunch of scrolls for reading. another room had lots of small caves with scroll racks and plush mats in each cave for beds, and it also had human beds in the corner. a third room was a large closet, and a fourth was a ditch in some dirt. it also was the only one with a door.

Pyro peeked his head in, wrinkled his nose, murmured, *thats the bathroom,* and went over to the scrolls and began reading. *these guys know how to treat a Pheoni - or even a plain Pheonox - right.*

*yeh.* a voice said from the corner. Emerald, the half-Skrill-half-Fire Pheonox- hopped down from a hiding spot in a cave and smiled, her stone swinging from a small chain on her neck. *how ouw you all?*

Pyre, Taika, and Luna came into the room also amazed, "Hi Emerald." Pyre said with a smile.

Emerald smiled. *hewo.*

Pyro asked, *why arent you on the surface?*

Emerald replied, *i tele- tel- te- blipped.*

Pyro blinked. *teleported?* Emerald nodded.

Pyre smiled and sat down, "Do you know how you did it?"

Emerald shook her head. *i was there, then I was tingly, then I was here. It weird.*

Pyro blinked. *woah.*

Taika frowned, "I never thought that teleporting would be like that."

Emerald shrugged. *and I hungry and bored and wanting to play. Will you play with me?* she asked the Pheonoxes.

Pyro nodded. *alright.*

Pyre smiled, "Of course." she said, she touched the dragon on the nose, "Can't get me!" she yelled bounding off.

Emerald giggled, and suddenly was on her back. *got yoo!*

Pyre laughed and got Emerald off her back.
