Sunbeam Lair Home is where your heart lives

The dragon's young champion led her caravan onwards, many of the individuals — be them healthy or wounded — seeming to draw strength from her. Her lead was symbolic as well as physical, so Noctura did not walk with her but back and off to the side, trying to fend off his own thoughts. Thoughts of guilt, shame, and self-loathing. Such things all seemed extremely self-indulgent and foolish of him... but knowing this only added to the shame. And so he continued his quest to put his mind aside altogether, instead trusting blindly in his Alpha's taste for magic.

This trust soon paid off. For she led them through the mountain range and into a place that reminded him strikingly of Thunder Dome. But this cavern was even greater than the one Noctura had only just started to think of as home. It was a world within a world, and the male gazed up at it with cool awe as he finally came to halt elegantly at his Alpha's side. There was magic here... and he silently wondered if the others could feel it too.
