"Aha! Here it is!" I heard his voice echo from his cave, and he came back out with a scroll in his claws. "Now... Where to start... There! Okay, so to save your sister from obviously imminent death, you need to find an ancient artifact that was animus touched. The artifact, which is called the Eternal Flame by the way, is an everlasting flame that is hidden in the depths of one's soul. To find it, you must look to where you truly love. That's all this scroll says, but I swore there was more about it than this..." He thought to himself, examining the scroll.

As I watched, I noticed that the scroll must've been ripped at the bottom, because it looked like it was ripped. 'Duh. Obviously it was ripped...' I scowled. "Wait a second... There is more! This scroll was ripped! I'll be right back, I actually have an idea where the other half went..." Graizon turned and looked for the missing half of the scroll. He turned around, with 'Hopefully...' The other half of the scroll.

"Here it says what the Eternal Flame is... Hmm... Okay, so the Eternal Fame is flames that intensify fire powers and put them slightly out of control, giving you wildfire like powers. It doesn't say anything else about where to find it though... Hm, that's always helpful..." Graizon grumbled the last part, looking up to Fallenflame and I.

"Well, that's about all I can do. I'm afraid you'd better get going, to save your sister's life. Shiver, I guess you'll be going with them on their mission?" He turned to her, where she glimmered in the night. 'She's so beautiful... I just can't stop looking at her. But Pyro! You're still a SkyWing! And a very rude one at that! She'll never like you!' I thought, guilt creeping into my scales as I remembered what I said to her, not too long ago... 'He was just killed in the arena.' I thought, and I looked away from her, shameful for making her cry.

'She never hurt me, so how could I do that to her, and watch her cry because of the death of her brother. And somehow, it feels like she forgave me for what I said.' I frowned, thinking to myself. 'There's no way she forgave me for that. But still...' I looked back at her, where we locked eyes, hers shining brightly like her scales in the moonlight.
