"I'll search for her.  First for her aura, then for her." she said.  She then sent her magic throughout the cafe in search of her.

Only a faint trace of Talia's aura could be felt lodged somewhere beyond the back wall of the cave, but still within the mountain.

Goldenscale sighed and ran to the place where Talia's aura could be felt.  'How is she in the mountain?' she asked herself.

From a nearby pool of water, Tieral broke the surface taking a deep breath of air. "You searching for Talia aswell? I think I found the entrance to where she is, but the passage is too big for me to fit in," he said telepathicaly while he caught his breath, "You look like you might be able to get in, but I can't say for sure."

Goldenscale dove in the water and instantly transformed her shape.  Though she didn't know it, her wings had shrunk into her back, her arms changed to frill-like flippers and her tail had the shape of a large piece of wavy seaweed.  "So somewhere down here?" she asked.

"There's a hole along the back wall down there. I'd be careful down there though, the stone looks unstable," Tieral said, "I think Talia may have got trapped in the room beyond he hole. While I couldn't see well, I could tell that there was a surface to the water in there."

"I'll be back." she said before diving back down.  Though it seemed odd to her that she could breath and see under the water just fine, she didn't think about it too much.  A while later, she surfaced again.  "Wow...  Talia!  You in here!" she yelled out.

All that could be seen in the cave was a flame obstructed bry several boulders and stones. "I'm back here,"Talia called out weakly, "I'm trapped under several stones, but I'll live. I might have several broken bones though."

"Coming!" she yelled.  She leapt out of the water, shifting back, and ran over to Talia.  She then picked up the rocks off of Talia and put them in a pile some feet away.  She then went over to Talia and began to heal whatever bones she could see that were broken.  "Did I...miss anything?" she asked.

"I don't think so," Talia said standing up, a little shaky, "Did you hapen to see a pitch black dragon anywhere before you found me? They had stolen an egg, and I was chasing them until I got caught off guard by a cave in."

"A dragon egg?" she asked wearily.

"Yes, if it was any other type of egg I would have let them get away," Talia said before spitting up a little blood and laying back down.

"Which direction..." she asked before stretching.

"They fled into this little room, but I lost them when the cieling came down," she said looking around for any sign of the thief, "After that, I passed out for I don't know how long.I've only been away for a few minutes."

Goldenscale searched for their auras so that it would be easier to find them.
