"Cleao look! It's the library," Majic said excitedly.
"Good job Majic! I wish I could read the runes," Cleao exclaimed. "Then I could help you look for something on Isymaar." Looking around her she noted that most of the library was intact. Off to her right were two passages leading into the darkness. Spiraling upwards was a ramp that led to more shelves of crystals. Shadows danced across the floor from a source light near the roof of the room. A section of the roof had collapsed causing a window to form.
"Don't worry about Cleao. What we need to worry about are those ropes like things from before. Remember the library at Baltanders," Majic stated as he headed warily towards the countless rows of blue crystals. 'Odd. These crystals are blue. I wonder why?'
"Leki and I will keep watch while you look Majic. Don't worry about the rope creatures."
Cleao started to slowly walk around the room. A sparkle in the corner of her eye caught her attention. In a small corner of the room was a statue of dragon. Standing up on its hind legs it stood about six feet tall. Green glass scales gleamed dully in the faint light. Ruby eyes glared at any intruder while resting in its claws was an emerald colored sphere.
Walking towards Cleao wondered why it was there. 'That doesn't look like any décor of the Heavenly Ones I've ever seen. The style of that dragon is all wrong.' "What's this," she asked aloud. As she got closer she noticed a slight vibration was coming from the dragon. 'Odd. In fact this entire place is humming faintly.'
"What what's Cleao," Majic asked. Turning away from the shelves he wondered what he caught Cleao's attention this time. Blinking in surprise at the dragon he wondered why he didn't notice it before.
"Wow. What's this thing?"
As Cleao approached the statue its eyes lit up. Blinking at her it suddenly smiled a toothy smile.
"Eeeek!" Cleao shrieked loudly as she stumbled backwards into Majic knocking them both over.
"What the..ahhh! Cleao it moved!" Majic yelled as he tried to get up and get farther way from it as well.
"Do No Move! Why Do You Dare Enter This Chamber, Humans," the state inquired.
"We..um..ah..that..is.." Majic stuttered. Helping Cleao stand up both of them stood facing the statue together. 'Now what do I do? How do I protect Cleao from a statue?'
"Majic means to say is that we're here looking for information sir," Cleao politely replied. Something about the dragon statue reminded her of her Etiquette teacher Mr. Miroko. 'He reminds me of Mr. Miroko. He doesn't seem to be that bad. I wonder why I think the statue is a he.'
"I Know That. Why Do You Seek Knowledge In This Forbidden Place Sorcerers?" Uncurling its tail the dragon flicked out a red tongue. Looking at them serenely it wondered why humans of creatures where in his library.
"We're looking for information on the island of Isymaar," Majic answered. Putting one hand behind his back he rubbed the back of his nervously.
"I See That Your Intentions Are Noble. Here," he handed the sphere over to Majic. "This Has The Information You Are Both Seeking. Be Warned However! The Rings Will Kill..." before the dragon could finish speaking the light in its eyes died out.
Before either of them could speak a loud clacking sound filled air echoing loudly around them. Leki growled low in his throat. His hair stood up on end as he waited for its arrival. He knew that there was another Raze. It was just a matter of time before it reached them. Now it was coming and Orphen still hadn't arrived. Leki knew he could protect his bond mate or her brother and coming at them from one of the passages was the Raze dragon.
Authors Notes: Buwhahahaha! My infamous cliffhanger ending, got to love them. In the next chapter Orphen comes to the rescue, but will he be able to defeat an enraged Raze dragon?
