As the gang traveled in the sky, night began to fall. The dragons had informed them that it would take them over a day to reach the dragon city.
"We should find a place to camp for the night," shouted Cam over the wind.
"I agree," said Terrador.
They found a suitable landing site in the forest and flew down and landed there. The dragons watched while the Humans set up some tents and handled some strange equipment.
"What are you doing?" Flame asked as he looked down at Sam.
"Making our dinner," said Sam. She was using a portable mini-cooking tray to heat up some rations.
"That doesn't look much like food to me?" said Flame.
"Well, its food for us," said Sam.
"Suit yourself," said Flame, walking away from her. "I'm going hunting for some real food."
"Right behind you," said Spyro. He, Cynder, and Ember went with Flame to kill a proper meal. Terrador stayed behind.
"You're not going, green guy?" asked Cam.
"My name is Terrador," said Terrador, "And no, I will stay here and protect you all."
"Thank you, but we are capable of taking care of ourselves," said Sam.
"This world can be very dangerous," said Terrador.
"We have been to many dangerous worlds in the past," said Teal'c. "We do not require you're protection."
"Very well," said Terrador. "Then I shall hunt." With that, he flapped his wings and flew off.
Daniel looked at the others. "You think we may have offended him a little?"
Vala looked up from the tent she was pitching. "How so?"
"He was offering us protection and we pretty much told him we didn't want it?"
"We were just saying we could take care of ourselves," said Cam.
"Well, to his perspective, he probable sees us as being so small," said Sam. "They probably all do."
"Well, we'll just have to show them that big things come in small packages," said Cam.
"Indeed," said Teal'c.
Hours passed. The dragons came back with their kill, two large, strange sheep like creatures, and ate them while the Humans ate their meal. After that, they went to sleep while agreeing to take turns keeping watch. Teal'c and Terrador took the first watch.
After about an hour, the two suddenly heard something in the bushes. Teal'c raised his machine gun at the ready. He and Terrador kept quiet. They heard more noise, and then several horrible creatures came out of the darkness and towards them. They looked like mushrooms, but with spider like bodies.
"Bulb Spiders!" shouted Terrador, waking up everyone in the camp. Teal'c opened fire on the creatures, filling one up with lead before it fell to the ground twitching, but more just kept coming. Everyone else was soon on their feet and defending the camp to.
The humans fired at the large spider creatures with their guns while the dragons attacked them with their claws, fangs, and breath attacks. The humans had to be carful not to hit one of the dragons while shooting.
Soon the Bulb Spiders apparently had enough because they scurried away into the forest. Their dead littered the ground around the campsite.
"What were those things?" asked Vala.
"Bulb Spiders," said Spyro. "And they are nothing compared to a lot of the other dangers in this world."
Terrador looked at the Humans. "It seems you are capable of defending your selves. You Humans are obviously much more than you appear."
Teal'c nodded to him.
"Lets get back to sleep, people," said Cam. "I'll take next watch."
"So will I," said Spyro, relieving Terrador from his post. The rest of the group went back to sleep.
