No matter what she passed through and flew over, (which was alot of things,) Hixe couldn't take her mind of that crystal. The power coming from it... it wasn't like anything she'd ever felt before. She decided to leave the cavern and look for the company of others. As great as the abandoned city was, Hixe was starting to miss the company of others.
When she got through the tunnel and out into the salty air, Hixe turned around and concentrated her powers. Soon enough, vines grew and spread around the cave mouth. She hoped she'd be able to find the cave again. Then, she launched into the air, flying over the sparkling ocean, in clear view of any dragon that may have been looking.
Hixe searched for awhile, but she found no-one. The only thing that was worth her time was a very large raspberry bush, heavily laden with fruit. She ate off the plant for awhile, sunning herself in the sunshine, when she decided to go back. She lifted herself into the air and took off for the cavern.
Flying along the coast, the salty air and sunshine relaxing her muscles, Hixe closed her eyes for a moment, gliding along. She opened her eyes and found the cave with them, the outside elabourately decroated with vines. Then she saw a blue shape in the entrance, and her mind froze. Is that... Is that another Dragon?! How did they find the cave?! she thought.
Jaikal swam through the ocean, watching as groups of fish and other marine life part to let him through. The current was soft, pulling the seaweed back and forwards, relaxing him. His eyes lazily scanned the water ahead of him, his eyes unaffected by the salt. Small beams of sunlight extended into the water surface, warming his scales.
As he swam past a particularly large clump of seaweed, he snatched it up in his powerful jaws and started munching away while swimming. He looked for one of the caves that was dotted around the cliff's edge, so he could sun himself while eating.
He found a cave and lifted himself up into the mouth. The rock was warm and strange vines were growing around the edge.
Just as he got into a comfortable position, a rapidly growing shape caught his attention. He narrowed his eyes in the sun's light. Is that a dragon?
Hixe tucked her wings in so that they were pressed against her body and dove down. The water zoomed towards her at a dizzying speed as she spiraled down. Just when she was about to hit the water she snapped out her wings and started gliding alaong the water's surface. She tilted her body hard to the right, her downward-angled wing tip slicing through the water surface, spray leaping into the air. She righted herself and landed on the cave floor, tucking in her wings again.
"Who are you?!" she called out, trying to sound hostile.
Jaikal shrank back into the cave depths, hoping not to be seen. The dragon looked pretty large and impressive... he might not fare well if it came to a fight.
Through the cave mouth he saw a green blur pull out of an impressive dive and tilt itself towards him. So, it's an Earth Dragon, eh? I might be able to get it into the water, and it'd be helpless! he thought, his confidence building. Then, the figure landed in the cave mouth.
He almost burst out laughing. The dragon was so small it was around two-thirds of his size, if not smaller. It was female, making it more likely to be hostlie, but still? His power over ice would be no match against it. He started to creep forwards in the darkness.
"Who are you?!"
He heard the voice. Young, innocent, small. He gave a little chuckle at the attempt at hostlity. What was he thinking? He couldn't kill her. He decided to answer.
"Jaikal."
Hixe crept back as the blue figure emerged from the shadows and spoke his name. As she had suspected, he was bigger, and had an advantage, being a Water Dragon. "I'm not afraid to fight you!" she called out at Jaikal.
Jaikal gave a chuckle. "I'm not going to fight," he said.
Hixe refused to lower her defenses.
"Look. If I wanted to fight, I would've done so already. I have the advantage in size and ethnicity and you seem to look rather unnarmed."
"You'd be surprised."
"Yes, I would." he came towards her. Her instincts taking over, she retreated into the tunnel before taking off into the darkness.
Jaikal looked around in shock. The young female dragon had disappeared, seemingly into nothingness. He scanned the area where she had disappeared. There didn't seem to be anything there... He was just going to turn into a human so she believed him! He changed into his human form and started to feel his way along the walls.
Jaikal felt the cave walls dissapear at a certain point. "Aha!" he cried, stepping forwards triumphantly, sure that he had just found a secret nook where the she-dragon was hiding. Instead, he felt no ground beneath him, and began to plummet down.
He landed on the cave floor with a sickening thud. He slowly got up, a low moan escaping his lips. If he had falen in his dragon form, he would've been able to start flying before he landed, but in human form, he was helpless. He could feel without looking that sevral ribs were broken. A point on his back hurt agonisingly, but he didn't know what it was from, so he held it in.
As his eyes adjusted to the light, he saw that he was in a long tunnel. Very faintly, so faintly that he couldn't tell if he was imagining it or not, was a distant light. If he looked up, he could see an opening around twelve metres up where some faint natural light was coming through. off the high, arched ceiling, a few stalactites hung ominously, and there were sevral large stalagmites jutting out from the floor. It was an impressive sight, but it would certainly be hard to fly through. Yes, he had decided he would follow the tunnel and see where the she-dragon had gone.
He changed back into a dragon and tried to flap his wings to get himself into the air. Immediately he curled up into a ball in pain. The mysterious pain on his back turned out to be that his right wing was broken. He looked up at the tunnel entrance infrustration. There would be no way he could get all the way up there. That left him one option. He had to walk.
((Echo can join in here or something if you want, Snowstar))

"Time I be on my way. I haven't slept in days." She said. She bowed to Echo in farewell and went off. She looked for places to rest and eventually came across a cave. She didn't know if anyone lived there. [Abaya's cave]
"Hello?" She called in. Her voice echoed off the walls.
