The atmosphere around them got colder, and colder, to the point where it was physically impossible to survive it for long! Arvena had practically sealed the exit of the nest that they were in, she sealed it with a scorching coating of fire, but that was not enough to make the team comfortable, for a couple of reasons.First things first, a sealed exit cut down on their oxygen supply pretty quickly, it left them almost breathless after ten minutes of her futile efforts. She had to stop it, because the fireball wasn't even helping the team warm up enough anyway, and that was the second reason why they were not comfortable. The surrounding cold temperature was too much of a competition for her to handle, virtually nothing could battle it!At best, she made the underground nest achieve a temperature of -5°C, and that was not enough to heat everybody up, especially since she couldn't keep this up for long. The air around them had only gotten colder from that point, and when she got rid of

The trapped dragon was now more excited, because the dripping water gave him a couple of advantages. For a start, it gave him just a bit more air to breathe in, and this itself was a great thing to be excited about, so it wasn’t a surprise that his brain activity was going up now, he just avoided death by a ball-hair here.The second advantage was far greater in comparison! Since the water had an exit point, he could melt more of the ice around him now, and not drown himself in the process either. This way, he would be free a lot quicker!The dragon started blowing tiny amounts of fire against the ice that had entrapped it, he got into work right away. This tiny amount of fire may not free him immediately, but he did not want to scare the goblins that were helping him, as that would be a really stupid thing to do.“He’s pretty smart, Skendus, smarter than you said he is.” Tim pointed out.“Maybe I misread his brain? Sometimes, a dying brain is difficult to tell apart from a dumb brain

Since they both discovered where those frozen human remains were, it would make sense if only one of them led them to the spot. Skendus led the way, because this arrangement would be more efficient if he led, and Ortana joined him to keep him company. Tim was to stay last in line, just to keep the dragon warm, since he too could summon fire of many volumes. He knew enough not to burn the dragon by accident, and he was happy with this arrangement, because he was light enough to ride on the dragon's back as well! A bunch of his childhood fantasies were fulfilled just like that, he was really happy.Arvena cleared a path for Georgie the dragon to walk on, that was her main job. If they were to make it to their destination, they needed a six foot wide path in front of them, and neither the dragon or Timothy were in a good enough state to carve a path, they couldn't. Arvena was their best hope in this matter, they had to follow her lead.This procedure may take a while, because it takes a

Georgie the dragon, and the group of goblins came to an agreement. Since they helped him survive that icy death trap, Georgie was to fly them to the ruins of Aqumus!Now this was a great deal, because Georgie didn't have to exert too much energy to fulfill his end of the bargain, and the goblins could reach their destination without risking their necks every step of the way. A distance of four hundred kilometers was a lot for them, but not if they were on the dragon throughout most of the way, which was a blessing above anything else! They could get there in a couple of days, so they felt glad that they helped a trapped dragon today, it paid off.“He is absolutely beautiful,” Tim complimented, as he saw the dragon’s majestic wings flutter across the sky. “A beautiful beast, and I can’t imagine how breathtaking he'll be when he's all grown up!”“Dragons are known for their beauty, regardless of how they're lizards by ancestry. Small lizards are absolutely gross, and often taste awful t

At the break of dawn, the team and the dragons were on the move! They all wanted to reach the ruins of Aqumus as fast as possible, but this task that Tim’s dreams had brought upon them, was difficult to ignore.The dragonflies knew how to find that cross with bent arms, and that was all that mattered right now, they had to figure out what that cross was about. They were on the air, the group was on Georgie’s back, and the dragonflies led the way as they seemed to be the ones who were the most well-traveled in comparison.The location of the cross wasn’t too far away from them, apparently, it was just a two hour flight. The dragons kept picturing a house of worship, and that house was located within a city, and this was one of the biggest cities within the micro-universe of Valporovus! The city was located a hundred kilometers away from the forest that they had left behind, so if a god really has tried to reach the team, such a cross being a hundred kilometers away from the group, made
