This sign greets you as you walk in the door, written in a strange alphabet.
You step into
a dark, extremely hot and humid room, and you notice a basin of water simmering
over a fire, so you correctly assume that that's why it's so humid in here.
You hear Vanetin's voice as if she's talking right behind you, and turning,
you see her next to the wall, waiting for you. Her brown and blue
lizard creatures fly over to the center of the room, where you see a couple
of eggs. They busy themselves with chittering and tending to the
eggs as Vanetin smiles and says: "This is my firelizard room.
Most are still in their eggs, though, so it's actually more of an incubation
room for now. I'd appreciate it if you kept quiet, and look but don't
touch."
She smiles and
leads the way to a sand-filled pit in the center of the room, smiling down
to the tiny eggs, "They're much smaller than dragon eggs, I know, but the
creatures inside are such darlings!"
She helps the
two pile a little more of the sand around their bases, and you lean down
to help, but you quickly pull back your hand as it is burned by the unexpectedly
hot sand. Vanetin glances up, "Oh, I'm sorry, I should have warned
you. The sand is extremely hot, so they will develop better."
She walks to a high shelf, jumping up and grabbing a jar, "Here, let me
put some numbweed on it." She opens the jar, and a noxious odor assails
your nostrils, causing you to grimace and pull back, and Vanetin admonishes,
"I know it stinks, but it'll make the pain go away." She dabs a bit
on your burn, and almost instantly the skin goes numb, and it doesn't hurt
anymore. Vanetin smiles, "There, see?"
She
continues on, "Anyway, the colored firelizard eggs will hatch the colors
of their shells. The brown and green ones were from the same adoption
agency, and part of Clutch Number One, by Gold
Gracey and an unknown Bronze.
This was Gracey's
first clutch, and boy, was it a big one! A brown
firelizard is a male, and a green
firelizard is a female. They will, respectfully, be named Enit
and Bix.
They are almost due to hatch." Her tone of voice fills with hope
and pride as she says the last part. She continues, "The green egg
will hatch a green
firelizard, female, and her name will be Lightwing."
Vanetin continues,
"Another egg came from S'len, rider of green Gameth, and just hatched brown
Nimbus! Here are his stats:

She moves on, "And the gold
egg that I had Hatched gold Serenity!"
She leads you to a different part of the cave, and there you see a small
golden firelizard; Vanetin veritably shines with joy.
She glances around the room, "Well, I guess that's all, in here.." She smiles, nodding to another door,
"If you haven't seen my Dragon room
yet, you'll have to!" She motions for you to go through a door.
"If you've seen my Dragon room
already, then let's go back to the Main Cavern." She motions for
you to go through the door.
