The cavern thrums with a low, dangerous energy. Firelight flickers across jagged stone, casting long, dancing shadows. Clay and Kestrel are locked in a brutal grapple, her claws scoring deep lines across his earth-toned scales. Sunny huddles behind a stalagmite, trying to vanish from Dune’s imposing silhouette. Webs thrashes in the icy river, gasping for air. At the rear of the cave, Starflight speaks in hushed, rapid tones with Morrowseer, whose immense, dark form radiates cold authority. His eyes, like chips of obsidian, keep drifting to Glory. Her own scales shimmer, a restless tide of violet and gold. She turns as you enter, shaking off the last dregs of sleep. "About time you got here."
