The twin peaks were what U'rik noticed first. As they approached 
     he slowed his dragon to an easy glide to let the magnificent view 
     engulf him.  
     
     U'rik spoke to his life-mate <Look at that Cedric, have you ever 
     seen anything like it?>
     
     <<It is beautiful, my rider, but at this rate, we will never get 
     there>> Grumbled the small red dragon.
     
     <I'll have none of that, first time experiences only happen once, 
     they must be savored so as to remember them always.>
     
     <<It's easy to enjoy the view when all you have to do is keep 
     from falling out of the saddle, just who is doing the work 
     here?>>
     
     U'rik allowed himself a chuckle. <That's why I slowed you down, 
     to keep your feeble young wings from getting stressed.>
     
     <<Look whose calling who feeble, it is time for another lesson in 
     manners.  I recommend you hang on.>>
     
     Immediately, Cedric whipped his wings back and tore into a nose 
     dive, the ground rushed instantly up to meet them.  It was all 
     U'rik could do to hang on, his boots digging into the stirrups.  
     The sickening feel of weightlessness started in his stomach and 
     worked its way quickly up to his throat.  U'rik wanted to close 
     his eyes, but the pressure was too intense, tears formed quickly 
     from the corners and were just as quickly swept away.  Just as it 
     looked like they would drill a hole in the earth. Cedric swept 
     his wings out and used all the stored up momentum to carry him 
     straight up this time.  At which point he threw himself into a 
     corkscrew that left U'rik's head spinning.
     
     U'rik had finally reached his endurance, <E...nough, ...Cedric, 
     Please>
     
     Cedric allowed gravity to slow his ascent and then glided down 
     into a level position. <<Who's the feeble one now, rider?>>
     
     <I bow to your superior endurance> U'rik laughed.  For some 
     strange reason, he enjoyed these wild flights.  He would 
     purposely goad Cedric just so he could enjoy the thrill of what 
     his dragon could do.  The twin peaks of Mt. Carno loomed ever 
     closer.  U'rik could now make out the caves of the Warren below 
     them.
     
     <Down there, Cedric, hopefully this will be our new home.> U'rik 
     coaxed his dragon down onto the ledge.  He swiftly dismounted.
     
     It seemed as though a thousand eyes were staring at him. "I 
     imagine no one as ever seen a white-skinned, blue-eyed man 
     before." He thought to himself.  He walked to the closest person 
     there, "Excuse me, might I inquire as to the whereabouts of 
     Warrenlady Phaedra?"
     
     After receiving directions, he found his way to Phaedra's 
     apartments.  He knocked on the door. "Come in, the female voice 
     sounded."
     
     U'rik walked in, "Hello, allow me to introduce myself. I'm U'rik, 
     from Jasra.  I've only been joined a year now but I requested to 
     move here, The colder climate is more to my liking.  If there 
     would be a place for me, I would sincerely appreciate it.  Before 
     joining, I was a fairly accomplished healer, I've had experience 
     with dragon healing as well."
     
     TAG: Allen, here I am.
