-Cynthiana opened her eyes, blinking them, a hand going to the back of her head with a wince. Thoughts went to the ship and its crew. She'd look out over the waves toward the horizon, all that could be seen of the ship was wreckage and drifting debris-

-As she stood, thunder broke overhead and rain started pouring down on the beach. She soon found herself making a quick trek into the thick jungle treeline ahead of her, the then fourteen year old, searched for a dry place to wait the storm out and in time found a small cave mouth she managed to crawl down into-

-she rested in the small cave while her cloths dried, the storm outside raged on. As lightning lit up the jungle outside, those mint colored eyes caught a glimmer of something near what she thought was the back of the cave-

-curiosity drew her deeper into the small cavern and to the half-elf's amazement, the cavern turned and widened. Before the girl lay piles of gold, jewels, gems and treasures. Unknowingly, she had crawled into and old and seldom used entrance of a dragon's nest and now was standing in it's hoard-

She rounded a large mound of treasure and saw a large oaken table with a blue glowing dome in the center, the table was marked with runes and lines, she thought were pretty but if they were writing she did wouldn't have understood them anyway-

-She'd be drawn to the blue glowing light in the center of the table, circling it once she reached out a hand to touch the glowing dome. A scream of surprise might have echo'd through the dragon's nest, but Cynthiana disappeared from the world she called home-
