::While searching with his mate, he became seperated from her in a storm at sea. When it cleared, Aurok searched desperately for his mate, or the ship, and wore himself down with little rest or food. Finally, he became so exhausted, he crashed into a cliff by the sea, falling down into an underground cavern and shattering his left wing completely, leaving it useless.

Aurok has just gained consciousness after two days, and is huddling in the cavern, trying to keep himself alive, until someone passes by, or his message gets out to his family.::

::Aurok breathed fire up at the entrance of the hole every half hour, to conserve his strength, trying desperately for someone, anyone to reach him. He was cold, he was tired, he was hungry, and he thought for sure he was going to die. He curled up for warmth as best he could, even now losing the strength to send out his signal.::

::His voice was a hoarse whisper, and he panted to breath.:: "Icer.......It's me......"

::Aurok was unusually light and weak, and he could barely hold his feet. Even with his daughter's energy, he could still manage little more than a walk.:: "Im not going to make it, my daughter. There is no way i can fly out of here, and you cannot possibly carry me........"
