Green dragons were often the kind of dragons you would not dare associate with. They were cunning tricksters who told riddles and cheated others out of gold. They were looked down upon from other colored dragons, especially in vastly populated caves. Caves were sanctuaries for dragons- since being out in the open to long would Attract dragon hunters looking to sell their hides. But since Faron was a green drake, he was almost instantly turned away at the caves entrance.

He was used to this treatment. The color of his green scales gave him a bad name. As a couple green dragons awhile back made deals with dragon hunters for the locations of caves. He understood why everyone turned him away. But now it was becoming tiresome. This was the fourteenth cave he tried to enter to take refugee for a couple weeks. He has been recently having bad luck with dragon hunters- he never made a deal with them, but they sure were hunting him down. The safest place he could hide out were the sanctuaries in the caves. He let out a sigh and prepared to leave, when he heard another drake throwing a rather aggressive fit when he as well could not get in. Faron looked over, eyeing the other dragon as he watched him fuss.

Faron now seen why the other was being denied entrance. He has seen that mark before- not often but enough to recognize it. He felt badly for the drake. Sure he was being denied for the color of his scales- but the aggressive male was denied over a simple brand. He was a bit taken back when he saw the guard be smacked with a tail. He understood the frustration. For once he decided maybe he should try to help someone else instead of himself, so he opened his mouth and turned towards the guards." Excuse me, great guardians of this cave entrance..." he cleared his throat trying to flatter the already annoyed dragons." But I think it would be beneficial to the two of you and this drake if you let him in. Its been quite a long day and I'm sure we've all had our own frustrating days- so could you be a bit more forgiving and cut some dragons in need of sanctuary for the night and let us in" he paused thinking of how it would be actually beneficial to let the other in."He's clearly strong, so if any invaders managed to get in he'd be a great ally." Faron gave a little smile. The bigger guard sighed and nodded his head in agreement." But if either of you are caught causing trouble I will beat you down myself." He stepped aside, even toe smaller guard moved out of the way reluctantly. Faron gave a cheeky grin and lifted his head." Your welcome." He said.

Faron didnt usually help others out at all. And usually he wouldnt have talked his way in, even though he could have easily done that for the past couple of caves he was denied entry to. He was good at it, but it often felt like he was using his Charismatic nature against others, which made him feel slightly bad. This time he felt it was for a good cause, though.

The green dragon nodded his head and let his smile fall to a simple indifferent look. Now Faron turned back toward the entrance and walked inside- being stopped for a brief moment by the larger Drake." Don't cause any trouble, or you will regret it, understand?" A threatening tone murmured to him. The green dragon nodded in response." Of course not." He gave a curt response and the Guard moved out of the way again. Faron continued inside, lowering his head and soon hearing the busy dragons inside the cave, trading treasures, eating freshly hunted sheep, chatting amongst eachother. It was like a city in these giant caves. There were nooks, crannies and openings where dragons slept, usually there was always somewhere you could slump down for the night. But his green eyes scanne the cave walls, seeing taken spots, and reserved areas. It was rude to be found in anothers sleeping spot, and could cause a ruckus depending on who you encountered- And dragons were very, very territorial. Sanctuary or not, fights were common.

But in the corner of his eye, he seen one open area. It was large, but vacant. It also looked rather uncomfortable. But it was something. This space was probably meant for a small family of dragons. Faron made his way over, looking to get comfortable, but by now others were noticing his existence, and eyed him down. A strong looking female approached, stating him down." What, do I have something in my teeth? Maybe that rabbit I had last week." He stood up, prepared to actually defend himself." The guards actually let a trickster In here? You do realize youre not welcome here- or anywhere." She grumbled." Listen, I'm not in here to cause you any," he paused." Disturbance-" "You are disturbing me by even coming in here." She snapped. Faron cleared his throat, but before he could speak she was walking away." Wouldn't sleep tonight, If i were you." And she was gone. The drake scowled and sat back down. Indeed he might stay up.

As night began to fall, dragons resided back into the crevices where they slept, only a few murmurs here and there, snoring and quiet bickering could be heard. It was somewhat dark in the cave now, but fires lit up small areas. Faron couldnt sleep much at all, not with a threat hanging over his head. A few dragons were also still up, and this included the night guards. It was a nice warm cave, comforting and not at all cold at anytime of the day, so dragons slept soundly. This truely was a blissful sanctuary, despite there being aggressive large reptiles around every corner. Dazing off, Faron lowered his head, listening quietly. But peace never lasted forever. It wasnt often that humans found caves like this- they were fairly well protected. But when they did it was a mass panic. So when the caves ceiling dropped a couple stones before ripping open to reveal moonlight, dragons stirred beneath. It was a rather small hole, nothing too worrisome- that was until the cave above rumbled and began to collapse. Faron heard of humans having access to exploding fire, but it was the first he witnessed in his lifetime. The cave was awake now, in a frenzy to get out, but smaller dragons were trampled and dragons were pushed to go out through the caves entrances. Faron himself was scared, Large rocks were falling from above like meteors, but soon stopped. The explosion was barely powerful enough to do much besides drop a couple stalactites, thankfully.

At this time others felt relief, but anger rose up as to how these people could have found this sanctuary. Accusations were thrown around, Guards were criticized. At this moment, for Faron and any dragon who could have been associated with humans in their life, this was a nightmare. Punishments, guilty or not, were brutal. Imprisonment or a good thrashing were the usual. But for something like this, the punishment weighed more. Exile was not just a permanent sentence, it was cruel, especially nowadays with the inventions of man. Outcasting wasn't only leaving the proximity of popular caves, it was being harrassed everywhere you went, because before being sent off alone, a lashing would be given to the culprit.

Faron thought of the branded dragon now. He was going to get out now, but he knew that the silver drake didnt deserve all the punishment at all. Huffing, he stood up, looking around through the rubble. Theres something he could forget, that somewhat familiar face. It took a bit of maneuvering through the crowd, trying not to gain any attention before he reached his goal. Lowering his voice to a murmur he tried for the others attention. “You need to leave, now.”

This was a question he had yet to ask himself too. How? The exits were crowded. Then his mind thought of a different way. It wouldnt be a stealthy escape. And it wasn't one he was exactly eager to go through with." I dont think anyone in their right mind would want to do this. But It beats the alternative of taking the blame." He looked up towards the new hole in the ceiling."That is the only exit open. Its risky, but the hole is big enough to fly through. And as soon as we're out dont stop till you're in the clouds." he cleared his throat."but thats unless you want to try slipping by a bunch of angry dragons trying to find someone to blame."

Faron followed in pursuit, rushing to the escape and hearing the angry roars behind him. The hole was a bit smaller than expected, but they would be able to get through with a bit of force. Pushing himself through the opening wasn't hard, it was uncomfortable but easy. As soon as he was out he looked around, expecting to see humans. But... He didnt. He landed beside the hole, narrowing his green eyes. There was no sign of a human. But there was sign of something familiar. Large claw marks and prints. This wasnt human. And it made him sick to say it out loud." This is a dragons doing." The surface was scorched, and there was a hot liquid on some areas. Magma. The trees around the area were ablaze. This was bigger than just some dragon hunters.

"A very, very vengeful Dragon." He wondered what had happened to motivate this." But as far as anyone else knows, this is Just a bunch of dragon hunters." He looked at the blazing trees."and that the explosion caused a fire." He frowned."Luckily, I dont think anyone would recognize our faces. Besides a few." But outside at night, this was a bad place to be alone. And the fire must have already attracted some attention." I think its best if we stick together for the time being. Especially now that we're not in the sanctuary." He suggested, unsure if the silver drake would oblige. He just didnt want to stick around for an angry group of dragons or a really, really massive beast, or quite possibly humans.

Faron lifted himself off the ground as well, flying well high enough to see over the smoky forest. He too was not fond of being with other dragons, since he was automatically pinned as a bad character to be around, and most green dragon familys arent close at all. Including his. Green Mothers only stayed with their hatchlings for so long, way shorter than usual. He wondered how it was for the silver drake. Speaking of silver drake, he flapped his wings and turned his long neck a bit to glance at the other." So, who are you anyway?" He was definitely not going to ask him about the mark, not yet at least." I'm Faron." He started.

"Its a pleasure to meet you too Rajat." He gazed forward, luckily the fire was not too widespread now, and the smoke died down. He cleared his throat, maybe it wasnt best to sleep in a cave tonight, or maybe they fould find a smaller one to hide out. But for now he wanted to keep flying, far away from the sanctuary and fire.

It didnt take too long to make a good distance between the fire and them, and he was getting a bit tired. Luckily in the distance he could see an opening on the side of a cliff." We can stop there, it looks pretty vacant from here."

He landed, feeling a great relief wash over him. It was vacant, any animla who lived here before had really faint smells. Usually he was way more cautious, but he just curled up in a comfortable spot and kept his mouth shut, as well as his eyes. It was a tiring journey, and he didnt have the energy or will to talk. He did, however, let a faint grumble out to at least give an indication he was going to sleep. In the morning he would try to scrounge some prey for them to eat.
