Slipping into the lair's library, the dragoness took time to study the many shelves. Each were lined with numberous books. Books for the little ones, her books on plants, magic books, even some of the books she once had when she had gone to school at Ravenheart.

There were so many to choose from, along with the assortment of findings she had added. Stones and crystals rested upon other shelves, and she nudged a book down from it's perch.

The book on flowers, it was one of her favorites.

Settling the book upon one of the rugs, she got up and slid out, for just a moment. Down the hallway that led to their chamber, she peeked in to find her mate napping.

Love? She watched Aurthur as he rested, smiling a bit.

It was so peaceful there, just what the pair needed, but she was eager to explore.

There were pathways that she still did not fully know. Along with the familiar ones. Paths that led to Alexandria, where her baby brother had taken up rule.

She had not seen him since the day they had flown her father's corpse to the lair for burial in the small family graveyard, beneath the twin oaks.

Perhaps she could visit him, or Ring Valley, it had been so long since she had been there. The flocks of course could probably use a pick through.

The shepards there knew her well enough to know she would not take a healthy ewe, when there were sick and injured ewes and rams.

Aurthur though had taken up raising a few flocks, so they wouldn't have to fly so far.

Then there were the ruins.., they had not fully explored them yet, still, she was supposed to remain close to the lair.

The most used pathway though led to the Inn, She had promised not to go much further then that.

Wings rustled as she leaned down to steal a kiss from her napping mate, before sliding back into the library.

The guards she knew would never let her go off exploring on her own, so she'd have to settle for exploring through her books.

*Dreaming, Aurthur had been dreaming. About the ruins, about their hidden passages, their secrets, and what they could possibly become. The new breeding grounds for wyvern, a meat which dragon's loved, but was dangerous to obtain. He heard his mate's voice, felt her kiss, but as per usual, he was slow to awaken.

When at last he had awakened fully, his mate was gone. He yawned and stretched his wings to their full span before folding them back neatly along his back, heading out of the private chambers. He checked into several different rooms, even though he knew where his mate had gone.

At last, he came to the library, and there was his mate, reading a book. He couldn't see what book it was, but he smiled as he approached and nuzzled her tenderly with a smile.* Hello love.....I'm sorry I was so slow to awaken.....What are you reading, there?

Purring as she was nuzzled, she made room for her mate to settle in beside her.

I was just looking at my flower book love. I thought about going for a walk, but I don't think the guards would let me out by myself.

Unless of course I was going to the Inn, but I wanted to see what else was down the unexplored pathways.

*He was deep in thought as he looked at the book with her, but he wasn't thinking about the flowers. He had kept her lairbound once more, and he felt bad for it. He was over protective, and he knew it, but after all that had happened......But was he really any better? He was keeping her fairly much a prisoner in the lair himself.*

You know, dear, I think that you have been lairbound long enough. Things have quieted down, and I think that we can lighten the guard duty, and we can all go off on our own once again. I don't see any danger, and not only that, you can defend yourself just as I or any of our kin can.

Are you sure my love? She didn't want to seem too excited. But it had been a long time since she explored around the lair without at least a guard watching over her.

Nudging the page over, peeking at the multicolored plants and flowers, she smiled, then snuggled close to her mate.

*Aurthur chuckled softly and nuzzled his mate as she snuggled closer. Just by her close proximity, he could practially feel her excitement coursing through her body.*

"Of course I am sure, love. And I am certain that there are several more family members that will be happy to hear that we can all go about freely now. I, for one, will be glad as well. You know how much mischief I can get into, dear, and there for a while, the guards were taking it amoung themselves to follow me three and four at a time."

Yes love, I know. Purring as she was nuzzled. We all seem to get into mischief. Even if we aren't really trying.

Maybe I'll take one guard with me when I go exploring.., a smile to her mate, before stealing another kiss.

We might even find more ruins, or maybe another pond, or berries..

There is a lot of area around here that we have not yet explored dear, so I would not be the least bit surprised to learn that there are many things that we have overlooked. In fact, I saw a narrow mountain pass just to the north of here. The entrance pass was narrow, but if you follow it overhead, you lose track of it. I have been wondering where it might lead, but I have has so many other things on my mind, that I've not had a chance to explore it.

*He smiled and cuddled close to his mate* That, and I still have to finish exploring and clearing the ruins, so that I may make my wyvern breeding ground. We've livestock, fish, and with the addition of wyvern, we'll have more than enough food to keep ourselves and others well fed, and not need to worry about starving.
