Ash took a step back, Puck just straightening.

Jason cradled the baby, Icey coming up onto his lap. He stroked the little ice dragons back gently, in a caring manner.

"Thank you," Ash muttered to Forekskel(if she was still in the room)

Foreskel stood from the back of the flourishing cavern and walked behind him. "Don't thank these old bones just yet, that of youth and time." She said calmly, but an odd type of sorrow under her voice as she walked out and sat by T.D.M, who was, for some reason, still outside.

The Mistress looked up. "Greetings."

Foreskel only nodded, watching some ruby red dragons and strange orange and red dragons fly around. "Greetings, you the length of time."

"What...?"

"You are as old as time in this realm,and yet not aged a year. I know who you are, and I know what you've gone through. I and my kind break your line of knowledge." Foreskel said, as if explaining something simple.

The woman looked forward. "..." She shook her head. "How? How do you remember me?"

The skeleton dragon seemed to chuckle, a low and rumbling sound. "Oh, I know many things. I have seen my kind turn to dust, and yet I've seen many of them arise to life from within the shell." She sighed. "And I now apologize for what my living bretheren have caused in your life. Pain and trial."

She looked down. "...thank you." She whispered, closing her eyes.

Jason rocked the baby back and forth. "Well, guess this was a ruff ride."

At least someone remembered her.

"Mostly for you," Puck muttered

Yeah. But, it just felt odd to her.

Foreskel gently offered her talon out to T.D.M.

She was tentative to climb up. The thing that scared her a bit, was that Foreskel hugged her.

The dragon was very gentle, but wasn't really caring so to speak.

T.D.M relaxed and closed her eyes again, feeling more peacful than she had in hundreds of years.

Jason gently stroked Puck's hair affectionately. "Sorry."

That's very good. I'm sure that felt very nice, to be peaceful.


"You still owe me, by the way."

For The Dark Mistress, it did. Foreskel knew that, and just let the woman rest in her bones as she watched the dragons around.

Jadescar came back, but this time was prancing carefully with a few different colored eggs in her rib cage.

Jason nodded. "I know."

Foreskel was a very wise dragon, and apparently old(no offense to her)


"Okay, good."

She would take no offense. Both where true of the elder creature.

Jadescar pranced in and went to one of the cusions. She gently nestled the eggs in before sniffing them to check them. They where all either small or dull.

Jason smiled, glancing over to the eggs Jadescar had brought in.
The baby stretched his little neck to try and peak over at them. "Awabethhhh." He 'said', making little baby noises now that he could be somewhat understood here.
