Kippies and Dragons

[Lecky Twig she/her]

Twiget tumbled down the mountain, head over heels, heels over head. She felt herself reach the bottom of the slope, but her weight and momentum propelled her onwards. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the others in a cave, but she couldn't stop herself from rolling away from them. In a panic, she let go of her hind legs causing her to land with a gentle thud on her stomach, sliding a few meters along the snow before slowing to a dizzy halt. She looked around frantically for Pebble and found the dragon looking dazed at the base of the tree with a pile of snow plonked on her head maybe rolling down that mountain wasn't my brightest of ideas. 

She skipped over to Pebble and set her upright "C'mon Pebble, we need to get back to the others, I think I saw them back where we just rolled past. We should go quickly, there might be bad guys here."

"But what about Phaedrus?"

Ollie tried to answer, but her words were choked by tears.

Pia hesitated for a long moment, then opened her arms for a hug.

[Mat he/him]

Snowy frowned. He didn't want Ollie to be sad! They were friends! And life was fun!

But... it wasn't anymore?

[Channelknight Fadran]

Ollie hugged Candle and sobbed into his scales. She seemed rather confused by this.

Ollie's not good at hugs.

Wow... I called Candle both a he and a she...

Ollie nodded weakly.

[Knight of Iron she/they]

Cavalier has found some sticks in the cave and announces, "I found some sticks in the cave."

Pia hesitantly wrapped her arms around Ollie. "It's all right to cry."

Cavalier tosses aside the sticks and ventures deeper into the cave. It got narrower and narrower until he hit a dead end, but he still sniffed the area.

"You know what? I bet Phaedrus'll be just fine. As soon as she notices we're gone, she'll be smart enough to go. And we can set a watch to see if and when she does."

Cavalier climbs up upon the cave wall that dead-ended the cave and found a small opening, barely big enough for a kippy to squeeze through. I am pretty small, Cavalier thought, and so he attempted to wriggle his way through the hole to the other side. After much struggling, he squeezed through with a pop and landed on the other side. The cave was wider here, and it continued deeper. He thought he heard water down further.

Ernie stilled in his cave, squinting to see what little monster had come to bother him now.

"Who are you, young traveler of little fortune?" He spat. Then he paused, reconsidering. "Have you any meat with you? I'd fancy that..."

"What the dang it?" said Cavalier. "Are you a cave monster?"

"Meat, I said. M-e-a-t. Doesn't anyone know their own language anymore?" he grumbled. "I remember this quite plainly. I said unto you: Have you any meat? And you said unto me as though noooothing had happened: What the dang it are you a cave monster?"

With a sigh, Ernie ran a paw down his furry little face. "Well, I suppose you are meat so if you really are this annoying all the time then I could eat you with a clear conscious."

"Do you eat ironclads?"

"Well, are they made of meat, little kipster?"

"I don't know, but they're a good source of iron, I'm guessing."

Ernie snorted. "I don't eat iron. The stuff reminds me of thick skulls and four letter words. Disgusting. Now tell me, are you going to come closer so I can determine your worth?"

"Why do I need a cave monster to determine my worth?" Cavalier scoffed, "Come closer to me and I will determine your worth, or if I should knock you out this instant!"

"Ha. 'I should knock you out this instant,' he says." A roar of laughter followed, echoing about the cavern. "No, no really, I agree with you. You should...you know, if you wish to live. So step forward o great challenger of the elsern. Step forward and fight."

Cavalier bares his teeth. "Bring it on, then!" He reared up on his legs and pounced.

"RAAAAWRRHHHH!" Ernie cried. He lowered his head and got in close as the kipster's paws landed, slamming into his back. Snarling, he tore at his opponent's exposed stomach with his claws.

Cavalier ignores the pain and uses the momentum of his leap to swing the cave monster into the cave wall.

"For Koid!!" he cries.
