"Oh well, so there ARE other dragons who reside here..." said Duke calmly.

"Was wondering WHEN they would drop in" Cinder finished Duke's sentence. A cold glint in his eye.  He stared at Mashi's den.  "Who is this Saw character anyway?  and what did Mashi, Aroki, or the black female have to do with him?" asked Cinder curiously...

"If I were to guess," Duke began (was the smarter of the two) "the female cutie was good friends with the dead dragon, Saw.." he started, not taking his eyes off the clouds.  "The black dragon knows something that Saw wanted to tell Mashi before he left?" he questioned his guess kind of confused.  "Then Mashi ran away with Aroki, and apparently are in...love" he spit at the word love. 

"yeah, PUPPY LOVE" Cinder started, "give 'em a year or two.." Cinder snickered.

Duke rolled his eyes..."what if its the real thing my brother?" he stated.  He turned to look at the den, "I think I know the rest of this tale..." he said giving a quick glance at his brother and then taking to the sky to find the female dragon..."stay here..." he said strictly to his younger brother.

"hmph..." said Cinder annoyed.  "Dont I always?" he said, a cold glint in his eye.  He watched his brother fly off and then layed down in front of the den, awaiting some anwsers

Zippora snorted...LOVE? "really, of ALL things, Saw gets me involoved in a love what ever its called!" she said.  "GREAT, now im talking to myself...i'm going mad!" she said her eyes staring at the valley.  She looked up at the sky..."thanks Saw...thanks a lot!  y didnt u say something when u had the chance!?" she asked pacing.

She was now almost back to her usual self.  After the drama between Mashi and Aroki, they must hate her now...  she smiled.  "Maybe at their wedding I can push them in the lake, like I did those two other gerks..." she said thinking of the twins. 

For the rest of the day she went back to normal, fighting silently and not getting involved until the time was right, forgetting about her promise...

Zippora rolled her eyes..."SHE never left..." said Zippora annoyed.  "Mashi's den? y is he there?" Zippora questioned confused.  "Better teach you two boys a lesson about coming on to strong." Zippra said raising an eyebrow at Duke.  Zippora thought quickly of how upset Mashi Might be at Saw's death but then thought about Aroki, whom she didnt approve of, why? She had no idea...

Aroki followed behing Mashi. " What is it, Mashi?" he ased, smilibng. he glanced over at the others, remembering his sister.

Star flew down in front of Cinder. " Sorry, " she said, smiling.

Mashi turned to Aroki. "I feel so bad...about everything.", she said rubbing on his neck. She licked his ear and rolled over on her back. She then ran out into the sun and lied down on her rock, outside by the den. Mashi  sighed and flopped down on the ruck, letting the sun soak into her fur.

((mercy- yeah of course^^))

Mashi smiled and splashed him back with her tail. She jumped into the lake and floated up, looking at him then jumped out. She smiled, and jumped on him, playfully wrestling with him.
