The plot… she thickens… :-)

Please R&R, people… please… I'm not just doing this for my health… even though I'll still keep going even if nobody ever reads it… :-( :-p

Location: Cosmic Interstate
Time: ???

*Razor was walking along with Sparks, idle conversation between the two. Razor looked up at the signs on the Cosmic Interstate, and stopped as he saw one he hadn't seen before. Exit 154, Mysin Dimension. Razor raised an eyebrow at the sign, and shrugged, heading off to the portal, he himself curious. He looked up at the sign which hung over one of Mysin's portals, and found it written in old English style writing. Razor looked back at Sparks, and started chuckling as he saw a perplexed look on his face.*

Razor: I don't know what it means either…

*Razor started through the portal, Sparks following.*

Location: Mysin
Time: About noontime in Mysin.

*Razor looked around, and found himself on what looked like an extremely high cliff, which sat overlooking miles and miles of lush forest… jungle, really. Razor walked forward to the cliff's edge, heading toward an array of objects which sat somewhat close to the cliff's edge. Sparks followed, and as Razor got close enough to see the objects to be eggs; huge eggs that looked somewhat like dinosaur eggs, he frowned.*

Razor: Sparks, I think you are going to want to run.
Sparks: What?
Razor: Run, because I know what's going to be behind me, and I really don't feel like turning around.

*Sparks started to trot off, looking down from the cliff's edge. There were several places to grasp the rock, and Sparks dropped down. Razor's curiosity finally seemed to get the best of him, and he started looked behind him, jumping a mile as he saw the massive head of a dragon looking at him, head level to the ground. As soon as Razor looked behind him, the ground shook with a deep growl. Razor prayed that the dragon understood English, and he nervously started talking to the dragon, trying to calm it down.*

Razor: I-I- d-did-d-n't t-t-touch y-y-you-your b-bab-babies…

*Razor watched as the dragon walked… past him? No, can't really say past, but she… yeah, she, walked to the eggs, and Razor started to relax, very grateful that he didn't touch the eggs, even if he was made very nervous by being so close to something so large. Razor saw as the dragon turned its head to him, and it started to lay down in front of its nest, looking straight at Razor with slightly fierce eyes. Razor started to walk to one side of the cliff, and as he got to the cliff's edge, he looked back at the dragon, and quickly noticed a giant, dark red blur, and everything quickly went black.*

*Sparks saw as Razor fell down from the cliff, falling limply through the air. He looked down, and realized that the fall would be a great distance before Razor might hit. Sparks felt able to only watch as Razor fell, when something caught his eye. He looked over, and saw an ice blue dragon flying toward Razor. Sparks winced as the dragon got near Razor, expecting the worse, and he looked away. A few moments later, he felt the scaly hide against his back, and as he turned around, he saw that the ice blue dragon had Razor on his back, and soon after the dragon picked Sparks off the cliff with its claws, setting him on its back, next to Razor, flying down to the ground. As the dragon landed, it immediately laid down, allowing Sparks to slide off his cold body. Razor, still unconscious, was moved off by the dragon, and laid on the ground. A unicorn, catching sight of them, trotted over, and leaned down to Razor's beaten, bruised, and slightly bloody body.*

*Razor awoke to see a horn inches from his stomach, where a large laceration was. Razor jumped, and started to pull away, when a hoof was gently pushed down on his chest, the unicorn looking down…*

Unicorn: Rest, gov'nar.

*Razor raised an eyebrow as the unicorn looked off in the area they had fallen from.*

Unicorn: Bloody cliff…

*Razor barely suppressed a chuckle, staying still as the unicorn leaned down to his wound, the horn glowing white and quickly after healing the laceration. Razor sat up as the unicorn removed his horn, and Razor started stroking his snout. Razor saw the ice blue dragon, and his heart stopped. He started to back up, and tripped over something. As he looked forward to see the object, he saw it to be the dragon's tail. The dragon looked over at him, and Razor shuddered, starting to back up. The dragon stood up, walking over to him. Razor shrunk back, wincing expectantly.*

Dragon: Are you okay?

*Razor looked up, and saw the dragon's head, and he soon saw the dragon push his snout into him gently, friendly. Razor nervously started stroking the dragon's snout.*

Razor *mostly out of courtesy*: Wh-wh-what is y-y-your n-n-name?
Dragon: Calm down Colonel Stuttah… *a pause* Name's Cisait…

*Razor slowly got to his feet, and looked at the dragon. It didn't seem so frightening, and Razor soon found himself stroking its head again. Razor saw as Cisait pulled away slightly, and Razor stopped.*

Cisait: What brings you around here? I haven't seen a thing like you here before…
Razor: Well, I was just showing Sparks over there around the Cosmic Interstate, and I had never seen this portal before… thought I'd check it out…
Cisait: So you are… an alien! Cool!

*Razor suppressed a chuckle.*

Razor: No, I'm a hedgehog.
Cisait: What's your name?
Razor: Roi…
Cisait: That is a weird name…
Razor: And that's Sam…
Cisait: Even weirder— I thought you said his name was Sparks…
Razor: That's his nickname.
Cisait: Oh…
Razor: Do you dragons generally live alone?
Cisait: No… I just wanted to get away from my family today…

*Razor stopped… it felt kind of odd hearing that from a dragon.*

Cisait *half-mocking*: What about you, do you hedgehogs generally live in gay pairs?
Razor: No… my family's just dead…
Cisait: Oh…
Razor: And my brother's somewhere he shouldn't be… I'm trying to get him back… *chuckle* too bad I have no idea where to begin…

*The unicorn's ears perked, and he trotted over to Cisait, whispering something to him. Cisait whipped his head back.*

Cisait: Oh yeah! The Patron Gems!
Razor: The… Patron Gems?
Cisait: Yeah, *lowering head* get on…

*Razor looked at Sparks, who was already making a move to get onto Cisait, and Razor followed. As soon as they got on, Cisait bid the unicorn farewell, and took flight. As he flew, he spoke to Razor.*

Cisait: I'm not sure how you might get a hold of them… I'm not even sure if they exist, but the fairies claim that they are real. I'll show you…

*As Cisait said this, they were landing outside a cavern; a very, very large cavern.*

Cisait: C'mon…

*Razor took a deep breath, and slowly followed the dragon into the dark, damp, cold cavern.*
