He had asked the Spirit for permission to take a few days to travel around the west so that he could become more familiar with the land and she thought it was a great idea and sent him on his way as long as he was back in a few days time. Drachen set out on his trip just after he had talked to Aurielle and began to head north, staying to the west so that he could follow the shoreline back home, carefully memorizing the different landmarks. He was about to head back south to return home when he felt a strange warmth to the air as he passed by a large cave. He couldn't deny that the warmth felt good in his pelt compared to the frigid northern air and he paused for a moment to let the heat seep into his skin and muscles. As he stood there with his oceanic blue eyes closed in pleasure, his dark ears twitched as he heard Enzi land on a branch above him and true to her sassy nature the Hawk remarked "What are you? A lizard now?" A chuckle rumbled in his chest as he opened his eyes to look at his companion and make a face at her playfully and turned his attention on the cave. I wonder why there is warm air coming from there?" he asked mostly to himself but he heard Enzi ruffle her feathers and mumble "Maybe a dragon to eat you up." He rolled his eyes and scoffed "Please, you would miss my handsome face." The raptor only laughed at him, but the creaking of the wood beneath her talons told him that she was worried about him entering the cave.

"I'll be back." he called over his muscular shoulder before he padded into the cave, leaving the Red-Tailed Hawk on her perch at the mouth of the cave with a flick of his obsidian tail to signal her to stay. He could already smell the hint of sulfur in the air and he knew birds were extra sensitive to noxious gas. His paws steps echoes softly as he padded deeper into the cave but soon another sound was growing louder as the darkness started to give way to an orange light. A tan brow rose over a deep blue eyes as he slowed down and took more care to where he stepped and his surroundings. The once pleasant warmth was starting to become uncomfortably hot and soon his jaws parted as he began panting. Maybe I should turn around he thought to himself as the stench of sulfur was beginning to burn his nose but as he rounded the corner a massive cavern opened up and he would have sworn that he had been swallowed up by hell itself. Streams of lava oozed from crevices in the walls, pooling into molten rivers on the floor, glowing and bubbling as it slowly moved along. The sight of it had him standing star-struck in awe as he took in the lava filled cavern until a movement caught his attention out of the corner of his eye and he turned his face to see a long legged wolf-like creature also exploring the cavern. He had never seen such a canine before but also his Alphess had a mane and sabre teeth with a brilliant glowing pelt so he wasn't too shocked by the other canine's appearence. But he grew worried as she traveled deeper in the cavern and another lava flow began to ooze in her direction and he called out "Hey! Watch out!" his voice echoed in the chamber.
Drachen has a female Red-Tailed Hawk companion named Enzi that is always with him unless otherwise stated
