The thunderous pounding of the avalanche stopped almost as quickly as it had 
started. Shella squinted her eyes, trying to peer throught the dusty 
darkness of the hatching chamber. Here and there shafts of light lit up 
fragments of the chamber but the entrance was blocked by a stone wall which 
moments ago had not been there.

Shella spoke to her children, they were still safe and sound in their tiny 
shell encrusted worlds.
<Are you ok?> asked Tina, worry edging her words.
<Yes I'm fine...> replied Shella.
<And the eggs?> asked Tina.
<We're all fine. And so is Queri.>
"Rhia, are you ok?" Tina shouted over to where she had last seen the 
warrenlady of Xylian.

"Yes, startled but ok. How bad is it?"
"Well it's not to bad. The main entrance is blocked, but there is a bit of 
light so air is coming in. Thank the gods, none of us or the eggs were 
hurt."

<Chai'lynn says that help is on it's way.> said Shella.
"It'll take them ages to dig their way though that!" muttered Tina.

"Well it probably will. So it's a good thing you've got me!" said a young 
mans voice comming from the back of the chamber as the chamber was lit by 
the yellow light of a lantern.

"Billy, how did you get in here?" asked Rhia "No wait, the old stairs and 
passage."
"Yeah that's right. Good thing Queri nearly killed me that time or I would 
never have remembered them! Now who needs first aid?"
"Does anyone else remember them?" asked Rhia.
"Yes, Chai says that Lunath told her that Sarilyn remembers and shes 
organising people as we speak."


NRPG: Sorry it is so short, but I had to write something, so that people 
remember that I exist!
