The Journey: DRAGON! - a photo on Flickriver

             I don't know how else to say it: today we saw a dragon. 
I'm just glad it didn't see us, because it was huge and probably a carnivore. Let me explain. 
Djiimi and I were walking above the abyss on the narrow strip in single file while small clouds rolled in the wind around us, sometimes obscuring our trail. There were a few ferns here and there to point the way, but they were growing sparsely, and we would only find one every couple dozen yards or so. Besides these and whatever Djiimi disturbed this morning when she threw a stone into the abyss,we hadn't seen any signs of life here. It was eerie, but I was finally getting some peace and quiet to contemplate our situation. First there was Quane, who I was terrified we'd be too late to save. Djiimi has been stuck here longer and has some knowledge of the plants and animals; (which explains how she knew what plant to heal me with) she assured me that if Quane's captor was what she thought it was, it wouldn't touch her until it got to its lair, which definitely wasn't here. I still worried though. And then there was Djiimi. I didn't know what to think of her, she seemed to be on our side, but her story didn't add up. She had thanked nameum or something when I came to, and it sounded like some sort of deity. I remember vaguely that there was something called religion when I was small, but the Empress got rid of it when she came to power. Djiimi seemed younger than me, so how could she have gods? I'd also never seen any other mutants in the Empire, although there were myths and whispered stories of children born with extra limbs and eyes or red fur... 
My train of thought was interrupted by a distant rumble from below us. Djiimi looked at me, and though her face was as expressionless than ever, there was fear in her eyes. 
"We should get away from here," she said. 
The rumbling noise sounded again, closer this time.
We started running.
It emanated from beneath us again, and this time I recognized it as a roar. We fell back and cowered as a giant purple shadow burst through the clouds, a scaly winged terror with wings twelve feet long and a horned face with a pair of wicked looking mandibles at the front. Two green slits stared out at us, but by some miracle it did not notice us as its lithe serpentine body arched over our little stretch of solid ground before plunging back into the infinite blackness on the other side. It roared again, a deep pulsating hiss that penetrated my bones and shook my soul. Then it was gone. 

We are both terrified and on the alert as we continue on our way. My staff is gone now, it was knocked into the chasm when the dragon passed us. Now that I know what lurks in the depths below us I dare not return to my conjectures about Djiimi...

Well here's number fourteen, enjoy and PLEASE favor and comment, because that dragon taxed both my patience and the laws of physics! :D
