"Look," Medli said.
"What?" Tetra asked.
"That thing has been following us!" Medli exclaimed.
"Yeah, I knew that," Tetra said.
"It's creepy!"
"Everything is creepy with you!" Tetra exclaimed.
Medli looked down, "Well, I can't argue with that."
Tetra grinned, "Where are we going, anyways?"
"Where can we go?" Medli asked. "Everyone's dead! We're the only ones left!"
"Don't say that!" Tetra exclaimed. "We don't know for sure." Medli sighed.
"Maybe," Medli started. "We should head for the ships! Perhaps your crew can give us some help!"
"Oh my God!" Tetra exclaimed. "I forgot about them!"
"Well come on!" Medli started to jog, but Tetra grabbed her arm, almost tripping her backwards.
"You idiot! We don't know where the ships are!"
"Oh yeah..."
"How're we supposed to find them?" Tetra asked. "I remember that the ships were past a forest... but... there's forest everywhere!"
"Well..." Medli looked back. The dragon creature was clearly visible a few hundred feet back; it's scales reflecting the moonlight. "Maybe that thing can help us."
"What?" Tetra asked. "How can a talking lizard help us?"
"A flying, talking lizard!" Medli corrected. "Maybe it'll give us a lift! It seems fond of us."
"Obviously," Tetra added. She thought, "Okay, fine. What's did it say it's name was?"
"Chorus?"
"Nah, something else..."
"Chorae?"
"Bingo!"
"Well then?" Medli asked. "Let's go!"
The two girls walked up to the dragon, standing quietly as they approached.
"Hello," Medli started. She put her hands together, "We need a favor."
"We're lost," Tetra said. "And... we need to get somewhere along the coast... but we don't know where, so..."
"We were wondering," Medli continued. "If you could... give us a... ride?"
The dragon stared at them for a moment, but then said, There is no need.
The sentence started both the teens, and made them jump. Medli asked her, "What do you mean?"
Ahead of us. The cloud of smoke. Go to it.
Medli and Tetra turned around; the dragon was right. A large plume of smoke was climbing out from behind the forests, and was reflecting the light of the moon, giving it a grey look.
Medli and Tetra started towards it, slowly at first, but slowly grew to a jogging pace.
They both made sure they were heading straight for it when they entered the forest.
