We camped in the cave till daylight came, and as the sun rose....we set out into the open wastes. It would be a long journey.
I was in awe of the icey formations and beautiful landscapes.

Not only that, but dragons were everywhere!! Roaming free!! I had never seen so many of them! Not even in the dragons city!!!
Along with the beauty though, also came danger. Giant wurms were crawling everywhere.....looking for adventurers to eat. I had heard they could sneak up on you and eat you before you even realized what had happened!
It was obvious we needed help.....the dragons? They liked me well enough, maybe...just maybe....
So, I found the nearest dragon I could and began talking to him.

He was actually very nice!! He could tell I was a friend, and even offered to give us a ride across the wastes!!

"Don't worry, the wurms won't bother you with me nearby little elf" he told me.

Eventually we made it to the other side of the wastes to the nesting grounds. Our chaperon leaving us to continue our journey.
Dragons? In nests?! I had never seen it before!! It was amazing!! Humm, if only I could get one of their eggs I thought....I could bring it back to Kelethin, the elves would never have to worry with a dragon as a guardian!
I couldn't imagine the dragons surrendering one of their eggs so easily though...
So, I approached one of the dragons nesting ....

"You know, you look pretty hungry....I'll watch your eggs for you if you wanted to go find something to eat" I said.
She stared at me for a moment....considering .... "You will elf? Thank you!"
And with that she flew down to the ocean to catch some fish.

This was my chance!!! I quickly grabbed one of the eggs and piled as much snow as I could to replace it!! Then, before she returned, I continued on to find the ship! I'm sure she wouldn't mind....probably....
Either way, this was much more important for the elvish empire!!! The baby dragon would have a good life! Eating crushbone orcs!
