The halls were dark except for the small lanterns placed here and there. A shadow crept down them, feet barely making a sound. Eyes threatened to wander in awe at the cave the stranger walked into, but they fought it off. 'I must pay attention,' they hissed to them self and continued on their way.
After a series of twists and turns they stopped by a door. A quick peek around the corner made the stranger nearly squawk in surprise and fear. A dragon, large and sapphire blue, lay curled up on the ground, wing in some sort of tent. Carefully and with barely a breath the shadow crept past the doorway and continued on.
They then came to a larger door, and after some doubtful glances and eager fidgeting they pushed through it. It didn't make a sound. The person was instantly assaulted mentally, yet it was gentle, curious and observant.
Judging.
The person stayed still, closing their eyes and slowly their rapidly quickening breath. If their dream was correct... A tug pulled them, harshly, at their core. Like a moth to a flame they followed it, walking into a chamber full of dragon eggs. The eggs came in many different colors, from red to green, from bright to dull.
This person, however, was drawn to one single egg.
It was a black egg, and when the lighting hit it the thing shined red. The person opened their eyes, and they lit up in excitement as their gazes down in awe at their prize. With shivering hands they slowly picked it up, sliding their hands on the smooth surface of the dormant baby dragon's shell and revealing in the texture and warm thrum of it.
And thrum it did, for as the stranger touched the egg the stone shaped object trembled. With a grin the stranger snuck a look at the other eggs before leaving, only to stop at the shelf of glowing stones. Two of them pulsed, beckoning the stranger. The person seemed confused at first and a little frightened, but after a while the stranger took the stones too. It glowed brighter then went dull, and with their three prizes in hand the strange snuck out again, sneaking pass the sleeping dragon and her rider.
