Dragon

Nothing made much sense in the clan. Items would go missing and would be found stuck upside down on the ceiling of the old crumbled castle rubble they called home. It was an old battlefield so ancient that some of the dragons gossiped and wondered if the grounds were cursed and haunted by unrestful spirits, rageful, and murderous. The tales and rumors that spread throughout the clan made the dragons weary and frightened.

He told the curious dragons that he was just passing through, and that he was traveling from Sunbeam Ruins to the Southern Icefield. 'What an odd dragon...' The dragons wondered, 'What was he doing traveling so far?' The Pearlcatcher was stopped by the clans healer, Anubis.
