Blame It On The ---Ah!!! [Semi-Closed]

[Casanova]

A lady-fox briskly walked through the Peaceful Wood carefree. With no worry of danger nor a slight need to keep an eye on the man dressed in black, who followed beside her, its focus remained wholly on reaching their destination. A dragon's cave, close to where they were now, with loot that might not even be on the fox's or man's mind. Explain? Well, as described by the fox, her fox-boyfriend guided another human there days ago and never returned. This wasn't a quest for loot, it was a rescue mission (with the high-probability of becoming rich).

Andro, the man, adjusted his right hand and the leather strap it held to another part of his shoulder before curiously asking, "How much longer 'til we get there?"

"Sh," the fox quickly responded before leading him to a bush taller than he and too thick to see through. The small red animal leapt through the green leafy mass and whispered from the other side. "We're here."

A small quantity of adrenaline coursed through Andro's body and his golden eyes shined like huge topazes. With his left arm, he reached through the center of the bush and slowly divided it to reveal what existed on the other side.

I knew I shouldn't have followed that stupid fox. After living as long as I have you think I would know better than to listen to some crazy talking fox about a secret treasure.

Sitting in a cage, outside of a dragons cave, Andria had been trapped. Usually she could persuade her way out of any situation, and fight her way out when that didn't work. That was usually with humans, this time her battle had been with a dragon. She met a fox while passing through the peaceful woods and decided to go on an adventure with it. After arriving at their destination, her fox had been burned alive and eaten by the great dragon that guarded the supposed "treasure". After eating her fox, Andria had tried to get away but the mighty dragon was faster than she was and had put her in this cage for a later meal.
Focusing on a way to escape, she heard a rustling in a near by bush. She looked over only to see another fox.

Great this is just what I need another one of these things.

Looking closer, she saw more movement in the bush. There was something, or someone, else in there. She hoped that they would come out quietly enough for her to warn them of the dragon, and help to free her, before the dragon woke up.

The fox stopped after passing through the bush and immediately noticed Andria locked in a cage. She stayed still, only whispering back to 'Dro while staring at the woman and wondering where her lover was in all this. "There's the human. She's trapped."

'Dro passed through the large plant with minimal struggle and little sound then stopped to stand beside his tiny companion. So very still and fixed-upon was the fox that Andro was compelled to see exactly what she saw---Andria.

The state the woman was in, being in a cage, stunned him long enough that the fox approached Andria before he did. Still, he was the first to speak when the two reached the woman's small prison. "Who did this to you," 'Dro asked in a quiet voice while the fox by his legs looked around for any sign of her boyfriend. There were none and that worried the animal enough to shoot another question at Andria before she'd even begin to respond to the first. "Where is Trey?"

She continued looking in their direction and after a moment a man stepped out from the bush! He looked strong, hopefully strong enough to help free her. They began to approach her, first the fox and then the man. The man was the first of them to speak, he wanted to know who had captured her. Then the fox demanded to know where her lover was. She couldn't help but feel some remorse for the fox loosing her lover, but here this one led a human into the same danger as the other lead her into. Looking up at the young man, she spoke to him first.

You must be very careful, and very quiet. There is a dragon sleeping inside the cave and the best thing we could do is free me before she wakes up, she is the one who did this to me.

Looking back down at the fox she paused. Telling someone of a death isn't the easiest thing to do, but it wasn't something new to her.

Your lover went into the cave without caution and didn't return. I'm not positive as to what has become of him but my assumtion would be that he has died. I'm sorry, I hope I'm wrong.

She looked back up tot he man and studied his face, he had a marking on the right side under his eye.

I'm Andria by the way.

Terror struck the fox and an aura of apathy manifested around it; it might have been hard not to cry by the emotions swimming around its little head alone but Dro and Andria could feel the knot in its empty stomach and the frog caught in its dry throat as well. A short moment of silence was dedicated to the recently departed.

"Is there a key anywhere?" Dro mostly kept his eyes on Andria while making an occasional glance either at the cave or the little things around him. It was quiet, a good thing when a dragon is nearby. The last thing you wanted was to hear a deep, snarly roar come from a deep dark hole.
