After AnnaBelle invited you to race to the field, you arrive gasping for air.
The sudden bright light of the sun makes your eyes wince. And AnnaBelle's tired
but still enthusiastic voice almost makes you groan aloud.
"That was fun! Its so nice being able to run through that cave without tripping
on pebbles."
You open your eyes to stare at her. Then you end up staring at the field you
were on....It was huge! The grass looked like it was cut, but it was still half
a foot high. There was a dug-out pond close by with willows around it.
Trees were sometimes not present, and sometimes in bunches...Scattered through
out the field.
Looking back at AnnaBelle, you gasp. Above her head is fiery golden dragon.

"Gold Rhyth!" you gasp in amazement and fright, "Wow!!"
AnnaBelle grins at you, a happy look in her eye. You suspect its to hide
amusement,
"Rhyth won't hurt you, my friend! If my little Gold Rhyth isn't
exploring, she's eating, sleeping, or trying to devise a new way to get
attention. She's very sweet, a little protective, but I love her to death!"
AnnaBelle looks up at Gold Rhyth, who comes over and lands behind AnnaBelle. You take a step back, but AnnaBelle's look tells you its safe.
"Gold Rhyth is a darling, she won't harm you. Tease a little, maybe, but not harm."
"Like a cat," you murmer, and look up when AnnaBelle does start laughing.
"No! She likes to tease me, for example, about my name. I like being called An-na-Bell, no 'ah' at the end, as well as no long e sounds in it...Rhyth just loves to make fun of my name! As well as find new ways to get attention," AnnaBelle smiles, "More so when she was a very active hatchling!"
Gold Rhyth's eyes swirl in an innocent, hurt way, AnnaBelle tilts her head back, and starts laughing, "SHE'S going to deny it!" you look over to see the dragon's reaction to AnnaBelle's inisistance, but she has an impassive face.
You decide to leave, the dragon was getting you too nervous!
Where to, cheif?
