"We're here!" Aneitha finally said, gesturing to a collection of large rocks before diving towards it.

Upon landing Avia immediately dashed inside the cave, and soon came across the slumped form of her sister. "Velia!" She cried, bounding over and nuzzling at her neck.

For a moment Avia was scared that she wouldn't wake, but then finally Velia slowly opened her eyes, her gaze focusing after she blinked several times. "Avia...?" She murmured, slowly lifting her head.

"I'm here sis, I've got you." Avia replied, nuzzling her again before gently lifting one of her wings, which had been concealing much of her body, and promptly flinched back at the amount of cuts on her side and belly, eyes wide.

"Sure." Chimera said with a smile.

"Oh Ancestors." Vexx said looking at the wounds.

Chimera gasped seeing Velia; she wondered if she would have the strength to heal the Dryphon's wounds.

"Can your race be healed by red gems?" Vexx asked

"Y-Yes, we're just Dragon enough for them to effect us." Aneitha replied to Vexx, whereas Avia was occupied with comforting the black Dryphon and keeping her conscious.

"And what a time for me to have wasted mine! Stupid!" Avia growled in frustration, shutting her eyes.

"Do we have any green gems nearby? I can use my shadow healing but it may be exhausting." Chimera replied urgently.

Vexx rummaged through his bag, he pulled out two small red gems. "This is all I have." He said, offering it to Aneitha

"Right here." Avia said to Chimera, removing some from her leg braces and necklace.

Aneitha accepted the gems from Vexx with a quick thanks and and smashed them near the injured female, while it didn't heal a majority of the wounds, Velia started to breathe more easily despite having since closed her eyes.

"Sorry I didn't have more, if I would have known someone was hurt I would gone looking for more..." Vexx said

Chimera proceeded to use her shadow healing, hoping the red gems helped enough.

Isis landed next to Vexx and ran over to Velia "She's not Earth element is she?" She asked

"What mysterious dragons?" Silon asked as he held Zera "If you need to cry, I won't judge"

((Slow down!!!))

Trydan sat in the library looking through the books feeling very confused. He could barely focus and felt like e was half asleep. He had felt this way for a few months ever since the reports of strange natural disasters had started. He picked up a book titled The Elemental Keys.

Glare looked around, "Anyone know where I can find a map on the locations of the Elemental Keys?"

"The elemental keys?" Trydan said in a slurred voice slowly turning towards Glare. "Do you mean the things this book talks about?" He held up the book in his hand.

Glare walked over to Trydan, "Yeah. I'm Glare, by the way. Mind if I borrow that book for a while?"

"I believe you Zera" Silon said "I'm sorry the others do not"

((Oh my days, slow down))

Lucian walked over to Velia, "I can do some healing with my light element, but I don't know how effective it'll be as sometimes the Darkness Element stops it instinctively."

"Anything for a friend" Silon said "We are friends, right?"

"Indeed, Velias never reacted well to light energy herself. But I do believe Chimeras methods are working, I hope...." Aneitha replied, and while her voice was leveled as ever her eyes easily betrayed her anxiety for her friend, aswell as her feverishly twitching tail.

Sure enough, it was. Eventually Velias wounds healed completely, and while she remained unconscious she looked significantly more relaxed than before. The two other Dryphons heaving a large sigh of relief.

"Oh, thank goodness..." Aneitha murmured, closing her eyes.

"Good." Vexx said

Chimera sat back, but began to feel dizzy, "Gonna need a couple minutes." She said, blinking her eyes.

"Well, that's good" Isis said as she walked back over to Vexx's side

Silon smiled as he moved closer into the hug "Ok Zera" He said, he was happy that he had a friend after being ran out of town

(Hmm, EyeBrawler2014, if StormDragon21 doesn't reply soon, you might as well just have Kihei go on ahead from Starri.)

Vexx smiled at Isis.

"Oh, here." Avia murmured, handing Chimera her remaining green gems.

"Thank you, by the way. All of you" She went on, smiling softly as she glanced around the room. "If any of you ever need anything that I could possibly provide, just name it."

"I aswell." Aneitha added, going over to help Shade.

Chimera blinked as she absorbed the green gems, "Thanks. And we could use your help. A friend of mine should be back soon with a map of the locations of the Elemental Keys. We could use help with this adventure."

Ura just watched. She couldn't do anything for the injured dragon.

Isis smiled back "So Vexx, what's your favorite animal?" She asked

Silon didn't expect Zera to hug back, but he was ok with it "Zera, what do you want to do?" He asked

"Puma." Vexx said. "Why?"

"Because of this" Isis said before using her abilities to make a glass puma figure "Do you like it?" She asked

"I'll always accept you buddy, now lets go back into town and try to explain what happened" Silon said

"Done, I could never turn down an adventure anyway." Avia agreed with a slight grin, turning to look at Aneitha.

"How long do you think it will take for her to come to?"

"I'd say under four hours or so, you know how she is." Aneitha answered, her final words enticing a small chuckle from the younger white Dryphon.

Vexx looked at the glass figure. "It's... Amazing."

"I'm glad you like it buddy" Isis said

"Thanks." Vexx said, he hugged Isis

Isis hugged back "It was no problem Vexx, anything for a friend" She said

"It's just, no ones ever been this nice to me." Vexx said quietly

Lucian looked at how the three sisters cared for each other and shed a tear, Why can't me and Darakon be like that? Why are we always fighting?

"Well, I'm here to do that then" Isis said before looking at Lucian "Are you ok?"

Lucian looked at Isis, "It's just, those three sisters, they care about each other so much, if one of them died, then they would be devestated to the point of depression. But me and my brother, we don't have that, we're always fighting, and I feel, that if I died, he'd probably rejoice that one of his obstacles have died, heck, he may even have been the one to kill me, and I don't know why its like that, why can't we just have a normal relationship?"

"My siblings and I used to be like that." Vexx said ruefully. "The only way to get that kind of a relationship with you family is to work hard at it, even when it seems impossible." Vexx continued

Lucian looked at Vexx, who had killed his family, but realised that he regretted it, maybe his advice was sound, "Thanks," he said, and wiped away the tears.

Despite the bad memory, Chimera decided to join in on the conversation, "Yeah, back home, family and friends weren't exactly common; me and my sister were nice with each other, but there were dragons that didn't like that. Well actually one in particular. If any of you travel dimensions, you might have met Nothung before. He's pure evil."

Ura looked over at Chimera. "Never gone through dimensions, but that name rings a bell."
