Sleeping Dragon i've been dreaming of this since the womb

a smile found it's way to his maw as she investigated the mouth of the volcano for herself. "back at my homeland there was no smoke or warmth. rather it was hollow and cold like a cave", he went on to explain, hoping she'd be able to visualize the extinct volcano he'd grown up on now that she'd seen one for herself.

as for what was next? "i'm not sure", he let with a shrug. he hadn't thought of what would come after this, simply because this had been his dream for as long as he could remember. "i guess i need a new goal to chase after now." what would it be this time?

he wasn't give much time to dream up a new goal as ying's final words pulled him from his thoughts. "for what?", he wondered aloud as he strode up and gave a gentle bump to her shoulder. he should be the one thanking her, considering she'd been kind enough to join him on this little adventure of his.
