We fly closer and I realize I won't be able to get in there unnoticed. The city has old stone buildings with lots of alleyways, and the hard part getting in here is the city is packed full. 'I'll be burning every dragon I pass at this rate...' Thinking of a way to get around this, We fly to the entrance of the Scorpion Den, and land.

"How are we going to find the Eternal Flame in here? Neither of us can get in there without burning or freezing quite a few dragons... We need someone to go in for us." Shiver said, noticing that she can't go in either. 'We could use the back alleys, but the dragons who hang out back there aren't usually trustworthy...' I sat there, thinking. Molten sand started to form around me.

"We'll go in. I don't care if I burn another dragon. We can just ask the closest stalls if they have heard of the Eternal Flame. If not, then we'll ask for their leader." I spoke, needing to find information. 'Do they even have a leader?' I thought to myself as I lead the way in to the Scorpion Den. I watch as many SandWings are bustling around the place, And many other SandWings hanging around tents and stalls. I see lots of merchandise being sold at these stalls. "I wonder if any of these stalls have any information on animus artifacts...' I thought, noticing how there is a lot of water being sold at a lot of these tents, which makes sense, being in a desert and all.

I walk towards the nearest stall, which has a big male SandWing at it, along with a small female SandWing. "What do you need, SkyWing?' The male SandWing spoke. I snorted, and Shiver walked up beside me, watching closely at the dragons walking by. "Do you know about any animus artifacts? Perhaps one called the Eternal Flame?" Shiver spoke, probably to the nicer looking female SandWing.

The SandWing thought. "No. But I do know one dragon who might. Her name is Onella. Would you like me to take you to her?" The SandWing spoke, gently. The bigger SandWing looked over at the other like she was crazy. "Seriously, you think SHE will be of any help?" The big one grumbled. "Whatever, go find your weird friend." The big SandWing snorted.

"Actually, we were wondering if you could bring her to us..." Shiverblade said to the SandWing. "Uh... Sure. I'll try. I'll meet you at the entrance of the Scorpion Den then."
