"Who else would live there?" Siara said, gripping her rake and stepping towards the palace. There was a pair of tall, strong, steel, black gates supported by stone columns that each held a granite statue of a fierce-looking dragon holding the Portal Crystal. Siara stepped forward and gently pushed on the gates. They creaked open inward, allowing a path. "It's open..." she gasped.
"Maybe it's a trap." Star said, standing by Shine to protect her.
"it probably is a trap we better be careful then."shine said
Jett stood close to Siara, and Fledge, Cloud, and Cyclone stood close to Shine and Star.
Siara then led the way through the maze-like path to the pitch-black stone palace with her rake raised and her guard up. Star stood very close to Shine, not letting her sister get hurt. A red-eyed crow cackled at the newcomers, giving an unsettling feeling.
Cloud hissed at the crow. Cyclone stayed close to Shine and Star.
"It's ok, guys. A little bird's not gotta hurt us.." Siara reassured, tiptoeing up the granite steps to the front double doors of the castle. The dark brown wooden doors loomed over the group like a tower. A roaring-lion's-head shaped brass knocker was placed on each door.
"Let's hide first, then we'll figure out a plan." Star instructed, motioning to a dry black-leafed bush that grew near the door.
"Good idea!" Cyclone squeaked, and dove into the bush.
"hey.there could be a portal under it! man up." shine said pulling his tail from under the bush.
Cyclone shuffled out from under the bush, scales turning slightly red."Sorry," he mumbled sheepishly.
"come on lets go in!"shine said grabbing the door handle.
They followed her in cautiously.
"its-its empty,no ones
here."shine murmered.
"I just hope you're right," Cyclone muttered quietly.
"cyclone there is no one here come on we better find miss.portal and destroy here." shine said
"Okay!" Cyclone said, and bounded on ahead of the others.
"okay jet can you set some bombs around to blow up the place i've timed them already." shine said
"Will do," Jett said cheerfully, taking the bombs and setting them up.
"jett i want you to come with siara halfway in case of something more dangerous than mis.portal and star stay here hanging around the thrown in case and everyone happy hunting for her! and cyclone your coming with me." shine said rushing off toward a set of stairs
Cyclone followed her quickly.
Jett stayed next to Siara.
"What about us?!" Cloud and Fledge said.
ooc im baaack
"You'll come with me, too." Siara said, hoisting the two dragons on her shoulder.
She picked her rake and cautiously looked around the twisted stone hallways.
