Even the quietest of steps would echo within the massive cathedrall, the group of adventurers did their best to go silently, yet in this place, the dragon's lair, even breathing felt as loud as thunder. Between the thumping of their hearts, their attempted silent steps, and quieted down breaths, they feared calling on the worst.

What was four pairs of boots quietly sneaking around became three, this did not go unnoticed by the party, as they turned around to check why their teammate had stopped their pace, they saw the three headed dragon, his hand coated on fresh blood. The red glare of the sun filtered through the stained glass, shining onto him, his voice echoed deeply within the space.

"Daring." His hand got close to one of his heads, a long, darkened tongue licked the blood off his finger tips, their teammate nowhere to be seen.

A sweet, flowery scent filled the air as Emmeline's hands formed a large, red flower, a bloom unique, of her doing, its energy pulsated in the same frequency her heart did. 

"I'm hoping to have my whole garden covered in flowers like this, of many colors..." She explained her ambitions. "I want them to be special, to endure all weatehr conditions, biting cold, dry heat, turbulent winds, I want them to be able to decorate everything." She said happily, though her gaze saddened just slightly.

The elf glanced at the flower, then back at her. "What is holding you back from planting them now?" 

"Well.." Emma's hands lowered, the flower dissipating in a red shimmering dust. "They are toxic, poisonous, I haven't been able to make plants that don't harm others." She sighed, a small pout placed on her face. "I don't want some poor wild animal to eat one on accident, either."

Reius nodded slowly, looking at the surrounding trees, warm light filtered through the leaves. They sighed. "You've got time, at least, nature won't go anywhere anytime soon."

She nodded, smiling gently once again. "You're right." The dragon hummed in thought, looking up at the leaves as well. "Once I've perfected these, I'll make sure you're the first owner of one."
