"These are all dead?" He asked as he followed

Pam nodded. "Dragons of old, the past. Our history." He said, looking around the huge cavern.

"So many died young..."

"That's because it's all savage in this world, you have to max on the food chain." He sighed, walking to a wall with paste colored paintings. He began tracing over them, muttering as he brought a story to life.

Ash watched

Five dragons slipped out of the wall, not really them but images of them. Five males, brothers. Four black, and one white.

"The five brothers." Pam said, watching the images move.

The four black dragons quickly swept over the cavern, covering it in darkness all except for the crystals. But the white brother walked after them, light following him. He looked around at the darkness and made a sorrowful sound, covering his face with his front talons.

Three pink dragons, three sisters, came up to him and comforted him.

Then, he stood. He spread his feathered wings wide and called out with a roar to his brothers.

They turned to him, baring their teeth.

He stepped forward, the sisters falling back, as his claws and eyes lit up with a light gold color. He confronted his brothers, swirling around them until they seemed to disappear.

But as he stopped, four little blue babies rested where his brothers had once been. The dark desappeared, and he laid besides his brothers. He put a wing over them, and slowly all the magic of them and him flowed out and was lost to the world. He rested his head down, and slowly disappeared, leaving flowers around his brothers where he'd once been.

But while this took place, the sisters had watched with dispare.
The smallest one had fled from the cave, out of view down another cavern. It stood as her own story that no one knew... or would not know if they didn't follow her.

Ash watched the whole scene, reminded of the fight between Shade and Jason

The two last sisters moved to their brothers, expressing sorrow over the loss of their fifth brother.

They then looked around for their sister, and dispared that she was missing.

Ash wondered where the other sister had gone

He could follow her story down the tunnel they'd come.
