The next morning Shadow and Ur headed to the cave where Shadow spent the last few years with his dragon master. As they made their way to the cave Ur finally spoke up.

Ur: So hey, if this dragon of yours is her. Am I in any kind of danger?

Shadow: What do you mean?

Ur: What I mean is that I don't want to be eaten or anything. Is she friendly to all humans?

Shadow: I guess. In all the years I've spent with her, we never really interacted with any other humans. So I can't really give you an honest answer.

Ur: That's great. So if this dragon of yours is real, I have a 50/50 chance of not being eaten.

Shadow: Yeah. If she tries anything I'll talk her out of it.

Ur: Thanks I guess.

Shadow: The cave is right up here.

Ur: Ok.

Shadow and Ur arrived outside the cave.

Ur: Here's the cave like you said.

Shadow: yeah but….

Ur: But what?

Shadow:I don't sense her in there..

Ur: Sense her?

Shadow: Stay here while I check out.

Ur: You're just gonna leave me out here alone?

Shadow heads inside the cave.

Shadow: You're a big girl, you can take care of yourself.

Shadow disappears into the darkness of the cave leaving an annoyed expression on Ur.

Ur: Jerk. Should have left him to freeze.

Inside the cave wonders looking for any sign of Zerelilth,

Shadow: Zerelilth you here! It's Shadow!

Shadow reaches the end of the cave but no trace of Zerelilth anywhere.

Shadow: No sign of her anywhere. And judging by the looks of it, she hasn't been here for a long time, But how is that possible? Could I have been unconscious longer than I thought? What is going on? Zerelilth….could she be behind this?

Shadow looks and sees his emerald on the ground-

Shadow: Well got my emerald back. So if I need a snack I can take some power from it. Better head back to Ur. Shadow headed back outside and saw that she was practicing her magic.

Ur: ICE MAKE….HAMMER!

Ur created a giant hammer of ice and smashed a boulder into pieces.

Shadow(In Thought) Whoa… Better not piss her off.

Ur: Oh hey you're back. Sorry for the mess, though I thought I passed the time training a bit. Did you find your dragon?

Shadow: She's not here and from the looks of it, she hasn't been here for a long time.

Ur: Wait, thought you say it's been a day or so since you last saw her.

Shadow: I don't know. I guess my memory is clouded. I don't remember anything but maybe she relocated somewhere.

Ur: Well If she's not here, then we should go. They're dangerous creatures that live out here.

Shadow: Ok we should head to that town you talked about. No point in looking for her now.

Ur: You're just gonna give up on looking for her?

Shadow: Yeah. So let's go.

Ur: Ok. Town is north of here but it's several miles from here, so it'll take us about an hour to get there.

Shadow looked to the distance to the north and smiled.

Shadow: I can get us there in a few minutes. So come here.

Ur: What?

Shadow picked up Ur bridal style. Ur gave him a angry look as he held her.

Ur: What the hell?! Put me down!

Shadow: Trust me. Now hold on tight.

Shadow took off running down the mountain at high speeds. In a matter seconds Shadow had made it down the mountains and made it to the ground, dashing through the snowy woods. Ur holds on to Shadow tightly scared for her life.

Ur(thinking) Incredible! I didn't know anyone could be this fast!

A few minutes later Shadow and Ur made it out of the snowy region and headed their way to the town. Shadow spotted the town and started to slow down to a stop. Shadow put Ur down who was dizzy and looking about to vomit.

Shadow: You ok? Sorry if I was going t-

Shadow was struck on a hammer of ice that Ur created with an angry look.

Ur: Sorry?! You take off running like a mad man and didn't even give me any kind of warning you ass!

Shadow: Why you. I THOUGHT YOU BE HAPPY TO BE HERE SOONER DAMMIT!

Shadow and Ur looked at each other in anger until…

?: UR!

Shadow and Ur looked over to see a woman bleeding from her side. She ran to Ur as she fell in her arms.

Ur: Elizabeth!

Shadow: You know her?

Ur: She's a friend. Elizabeth tell me what happened.

Elizabeth: A... dark guild is attacking the town. Please...stop them.

Elizabeth passed out in Ur's arms.

Ur: Elizabeth!

Shadow: Here let me see her.

Ur laid her on the ground and Shadow placed his hands on her wound.

Shadow: Chaos regeneration!

Shadow used his powers to heal Elizabeth and in a matter of seconds her wound was healed. Shadow laid Elizabeth against a tree to rest.

Ur: You...healed her.

Shadow: Yes she just needs to rest. So I guess we better help out the town.

Ur: Those bastards are gonna pay!

Shadow: Damn right.

Ur: Let's head to the center of town. I bet the dark guild will be held up there.

Shadow: Right lead the way.

Shadow and Ur ran into town to find and the ones responsible
