[color=#D1D0CE]Despite the fact that the three of them flew hard all day, they had only begun to reach the beginning of the desert. The mountainous region of the Sky Kingdom had morphed into dry, arid lands, though the peaks were still very much visible below them. In the distance, he could see the famous Jade Mountain, and to the west he caught the sight of a sea of yellow sand. They had stopped more than once on their journey southwards; Dreamseeker's wings were smaller than their own, and she could not remain aloft for as long as they could. They would have crossed the entire mountain region in half a day if it weren't for her. [color=7ea7d8][i]Annoying,[/i][/color] he thoughts to himself in frustration. They were wasting time, bringing her along. 

Then, they had to make a decision. Camp to the east of Jade Mountain, or to the west. To the east laid the scavenger den, and he wasn't willing to allow himself to fall asleep there. Scavengers were snacks at best and tricky things at worst. Extraordinarily clever, they might have laid a trap for passing dragons in the side of the mountain or such. But to the west laid the Kingdom of Sand. SandWings were as conniving as scavengers were, but they were fellow dragons, and so they could be trusted. It was decided then that they would camp in the desert for the night. 

And fortunately for them, Eclipse's sharp eye had caught an oasis in the horizon. They settled around the pool body of water, from which they drank heartily. Dreamseeker was quick enough to catch lizards, while Skua caught a skinny camel. He settled closest to the water as he chewed on a camel leg. The meat was rough and lean, and definitely not that tasty. What he wouldn't give for some roast boar. Or a big buck. So much better than this old, wrinkly camel. He narrowed his eyes at Dreamseeker, who peacefully lapped from the oasis water.
