Dragon Quest: Frozen Time

Seaxbrith nodded, "Alright, stay here, I can go do some reconnaissance while it's still day..." He said, cloaking himself with invisibility and removing his claws.
"I shall report in about twenty." Seaxbrith said heading towards the entrance of the cave thunder rolled and clap and rain splintered down from the darkened clouds.

 

Ryuu came to a large lake with a waterfall hanging off a cliff. He sighed as it began raining. Lightning flashed as a lound boom of thunder came. Ryuu made his hand into a fist.

"What's this I smell, a human... no... a dragonman... no... a hybrid dragonman... very delicious." Ryuu turned around and looked at his approacher. A group of dragonmen, young age, human years they're very old, for dragon years more like the age Ryuu is.

Ryuu growled at them as more lightning flashed.

 

Silva nodded, agreeing with Riechfield. "He's right. Right now, staying together is the most important thing. We have one out scouting and searching right now. That's enough for now. If Ryuu doesn't come back to us by tomorrow though then I say assume the worst and we get moving. We don't know what's out there so caution is our top prority."

Kozin bent down and picked up a small piece of wood. It belonged to the ship and had drifted ashore like many other bits and pieces had. The hooded man scanned the beach, hoping to find some clues when he saw footprints. Walking up he looked closely to exmine them. "Three people, two went one way, the third another. So which to track first?" After a few moments of mentle debate, Kozin went off after the trail with only one. Fighting a group was never wise when he didn't know what they were capable of.

(Riechfield was carrying Seaxbrith so there would only be Riechfield's and Silva's footprints.)

 

Garek stirred as rumbles rocked the cave and he suddenly opened his eyes as a rock headed straight towards his face.

He rolled out of the way, gasped for breath and stood up, facing towards a giant mole rat. It seemed very angry. Was this its home? Garek twitched his hand towards his sword but he stopped with shaky hands. He was afraid of the monster but he also wanted to fight. Two sides conflicted inside of him. Garek shook his head, knowing he'll have to fight and sheathed out his blade. The mole rat roared, as it rampaged across the rocky surface but as it came close to Garek, a rock fell on its head, causing it to be knocked out but alas, poor Garek was unfortunate as the beast fell on top of him. Garek, barely able to breath within its furry fur, and as hot as metal in a kern, desperately reached for a point of oxygen. He tried to push the weight back with his puny muscles and gasped as he poked his head from within the creature.
