''So, what were you thinking of when you used magic, anyway?'' I ask, curious.
''I was thinking of you...'' Elizabeth replies. My mind goes blank. Did I hear her right? I'm going to ask her, but decide it's best not to... Neither of us say much. I look around us, at the walls of the cave. This place is like a maze. With many twists and turns. Elizabeth and I agree to just keep it simple and go straight, but I don't honestly know what could come out of that.
The walls and ground are riddled in bones. It's a little unnerving... I'm afraid I may add to the pile if we don't get out of here soon. Did I mention I don't like caves? I decide I better start a conversation.
''Say... Elizabeth, what did you mean when you said?-''
My question is cut short as the ground rumbles beneath our feet.
''What was that?!'' Yells Elizabeth, clearly startled.
Her question is answered when a glowing light appears behind us. I can feel the intense heat coming from that area, and I sure don't want to find out what the source is!
''Run!'' I yell.
''What do you think I'm doing?!''
We twist and turn, no worrying about which direction we take. I fear that we may just be going deeper into the caves, or that we may hit a dead end, and meet whatever that is.
The glow gets brighter, and the heat gets more intense, and I know we'll be caught, so I turn around, to face this oncoming menace, and what I see makes my sudden courage vanish.
''What in the name of...''
Standing in front of me is a dragon. A HUGE dragon. A dragon made of bones. None teeth. Bone claws. Bone everything. And to put the cherry on top, it's on fire. Entirely on fire. Yeah... I'm dead.
It roars, a blood curdling screech that cuts right through you, and stomps towards me. I see that Elizabeth now stands next to me, and I grab her, and jump against a wall, as the dragon blows fire at the ground where I once stood.
''What do we do?'' Asks Elizabeth, holding me. What I say even surprises myself.
''We fight it...''
