Part One: The Warrior Quest
Chapter one
The Dragon and the Unicorn.
Keelagh stood in the entrance to the cave and looked down on the valley far below,it wasn`t yet dawn and she could see little of the landscape apart from the shapes of the trees and bushes that covered much of the land to her left. That was where they were headed her and Bryntich,though she very much doubted they would find the thing she searched for,she had the feeling this was going to be a very long quest. She sighed already she was homesick,longing for her soft warm bed and not the cold hard floor of dirty dank caves.
She heard a noise from within the cave and immediately jumped away from the opening and to the side as a loud sneeze was followed by a burst of flame through the entrance.
" Bryyyn" she shouted as another sneeze and burst of flame followed the first.
" Oh Oohhh,I`m sorry Keely,this dust off the floor plays havoc with my sinuses" came the reply as Bryntich popped his head through the entrance,smoke still curled from his nostrils and he shook his large scaley head to rid himself of the dust still threatening to make him sneeze once again.Keelagh laughed just her luck to get a Dragon with bad sinuses,she wouldn`t mind so much if he didn`t burn everything to a crisp when he sneezed.
" We really have to find something to ease that sneezing off,Bryn,Wouldn`t want to be finding our warrior and then you incinerating him,would we?" she reached up and gave him a rub on his long nose " come we have to reach the valley floor before dawn " and so saying she went back in to the cave to retrieve their belongings.
" Slavedriver" Bryntich muttered as he turned his head to watch her.
