Sometime Somewhere
"Well, what did you find?" A scratchy voice spoke in the pitch black of the cave. To dark to make out any figures. I can't see a thing. I thought. I was crouched up against a wall. I was here to investigate the mysterious dragons in the old NightWing kingdom and to make any connections.
"It seems to be impossible to enter to the south of the snow land," another voice reverberated in the darkness. "A large wall of ice blocked the way. When I tried to get closer it began to rain ice. I apologize master for negligence."
"No worries. What about the red ones? How have they changed during our slumber?"
They are talking about the SkyWings. I didn't want to move or speak. If they found me, would they hurt me. I didn't want to take any chances.
"They still reside in the mountains and seem to have gotten slower."
What! SkyWings are the fastest dragons. Just what SkyWings are they talking about.
The second voice continued, "I'd think you would also like the her that the scavengers, as they are called now, are not as much a nuisance as they use to be."
A laugh came from the first voice, "That is good news. They were just pest and they needed to be exterminated. Very well, continue on with your orders."
"Yes, my lord." The second voice walked away but it sounded more of a crawling than anything else.
"One more thing Yuto. Take care of our little friend over there," the first voice commanded in my direction.
Uh oh. That's me. How did they know I was here? I can't see them surely they can't see me.
"With pleasure," said Yuto. The sound of his clawsteps were getting closer and closer.
Damn that is me. I jumped up and turned around but it was to late. What felt like dozen spines shot into by back and wings. I fell to the ground and something grabbed me from Yuto. It felt like a claw and a wing at the same time. Yuto made a little chuckle in my ear. "Nice try."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHH!"

I don't know what day or time it is. I have been working on these ancient markings for years. They are located in this beach cave at the Summer palace. We set up our lab and research station in the cave as well.
"The translation process is getting better but we are still missing so much. Sediment do have any idea on what this could mean?" I asked face first into stack notes that have now toppled onto the floor and table.
"For the 247th time, I only know what's on the wall," the MudWing responded adjusting his glasses, after they we knocked a bit by the curtain entrance, "plus when was the last time you had had sleep?"
The pages fell of the desk and I quickly scrambled to pick them all up. "I don't know two, three day maybe, I don't need sleep. I need answers. I need to determine where in this shoal of unreadable text, squatteth the toadfish of truth."
"Need coffee Turq," Sediment held out a cup in my direction. I jumped and quickly downed the cup even though 90% percent fell on my lab coat and face. "Better."
"No," I passed out from the stress and thought of any amount of work.
"Me too," Sediment exhaled look down at the notes, "Me too."
