Looking about you you see that you have entered what appears to be a cave of some kind.  The walls are lined with a soft green moss and the air is sweet with a strange exotic scent. Slowly you move forward until, just as you are about to take another step a small voice says
"oy!!! watch where you're putting your big feet"
Balancing carefully on one foot you look down and there beside you is a tiny mouse, well almost a mouse, for you see to your amazement that the tiny creature has a pair of dragon wings.
 
"I dont know" it mutters "not only do I have to put up with these dragons stepping on my tail, now I have to put up with clumsy humans not watching where they are going as well"

Trying hard not to smile, you carfully put your foot back on the ground and bend towards the mouse.

"I am very sorry" you say "I shall endeavour to be more careful from now on"

"So you should be" grumbles the mouse "but I dont suppose you came in here just to stand around, so lets get on with it."

 
With that, it puffs out its chest and says

"Welcome, I am Reezal, and this is where the maltharian dragons live.  I am the guardian of this place and it is my job to see that they are kept safe and well.  Do not be fooled by my size, I am quite capable of guarding my charges well.  Now follow me and I will introduce you to them."

The mouse trots off deeper into the cave and you dutifully follow it.

You round a sharp corner and there before you, two small dragons are playing happily together. As soon as they see you they rush towards you.

 
"Hello, Im Fargo" says the tiny golden dragonette 
"And I'm Jareth, we are malatharian dragons you know"
"Yes I know" you reply smiling at their antics "Reezal has told me all about you."

"Not everything" giggles Fargo "there are lots of dragons just like us in the land of Malathar, our friend Mal is at the end of the cave close to the door, he can show you how to find them"

You asure Fargo that you will most definatly talk to his friend before you leave.

 
Adopt your own maltharian dragon
