"We've been walking foreverrrrrrrrrrrrr," Garble whined as Smolder snickered from up top of his head.

"Garble we've been walking for five minutes," Ember said unimpressed.

"Besides you weren't complaining when we had to walk In the forest." She pointed out

"That's because we knew something was waiting for us at the end of It." Garble said

"Meanwhile we've been going up to every rock In the Dragon Lands because this 'Aesthyr' doesn't seem to remember where her old place used to be," Garble said making air quotes.

Unfortunately, Even If Garble was complaining he was still right since even though we've been having Aesthyr guide us she still seemed to have trouble remembering where her old workshop was.

Which has lead us to not having made any progress In discovering anything yet, though hopefully we'll find something since Aesthyr told us to search around. near the edge of the Dragon Lands.

"I could've sworn It was somewhere near here," Aesthyr said sounding slightly irritated as Garble did.

"Ok, Aesthyr are you sure you remember where we're going?" I asked

"As much as I would love to say I'm offended you think so little of my memory, no, I don't think I do, unless..." She said leading off.

"Unless what?" I asked

"Unless It was moved," She said as my eyes slightly widened.

"I, huh, I mean If that Is the case then I guess that would explain why it's been so difficult finding your work area." I admitted

"What did she say?" Ember asked as I turned to face the others.

"Aesthyr said she suspects the reason why we've had trouble finding her work area is that somedrake might have moved It," I explained to them as I heard Garble groanining when I finished.

"Greaaaaat, so we've been wasting our time looking around random rocks for no reason only to find out that somedrake might have moved the area which means that we now have no idea where It could be," Garble said walking over to a medium-sized rock leaning on It while Smolder proceeded to try and copy him as she shakingly stood atop his head and began to also lean back on the rock.

"Well, do you have a better idea of what to do than Garble?" Ember asked

"Nope, but I am going to do what I know how to do, which Is complain, and it's great for me since my complaining Is also In the right as well," Garble said causing Ember to roll her eyes.

"Whatever then," She said as she kicked a small pebble towards the edge only for It to suddenly disappear.

"Wait what?" I said confused

"What Is It?" Garble asked

"Ember kick another pebble towards the edge," I told her as she looked at me confused before kicking another nearby pebble which seemed to disappear again.

"Wait what?" She said sounding confused as I approached near where the pebble disappeared extending my hand out slowly only for It to slowly disappear as well.

"It's gone!" Garble said shocked as I pulled my hand back slightly afraid only to find It perfectly fine.

"It's back!" Garble said In relief as Ember looked at him with an unimpressed look.

"Oh, how scary." She said In a monotone voice.

"Oh shut up," Garble said without much heat In his response.

"Well, here we go," I said walking forward toward the edge only for my surroundings to suddenly change into a slightly darker environment side for the bit of light coming from behind me.

" Oh shit," I whispered In awe at what I see as I began to hear footsteps behind me.

"Woahhh, guess she wasn't lying after all," Garble said also with a bit of awe In his voice.

"How long do you think this has been here?" Ember asked curiously surveying the room.

"Too long," Aesthyr said with what sounded like a little nostalgia.

"I'll say," I said as I took a good look around.

Although It seemed like this place hadn't been used In a while you could tell this place was used for creating and creating things that could destroy as well.

Not to mention the different types of glowing crystals and metals that seemed to be lined up on the floor up against the wall or on a smoothed-out rock which was also near what looked like an anvil and a table?

Confused I make my way towards It only to remember that I'm still too small to reach the actual table itself.

Annoyed I turn back to the others as I see Ember, Garble and Smolder seeming to be very interested in the glowing metals until something pops in my head making me even more annoyed.

"Wait I can just fly," I annoyingly reminded myself as I started flapping my wings carefully landing on the table as I tried not stepping on anything important.

Upon landing on the table, I saw a bunch of tiny stuff and whatnot scattered around what looked to be some sort of wristband.

"Ah right, I forgot about this," Aesthyr said sounding slightly annoyed.

"What is it?" I asked curious

"A failed project of mine that I never got around to completing." She said

"Well, what were you trying to do?" I asked curious

"There wasn't much of a goal, instead, It was more like an attempt at trying to make things with ideas I had but none of them stuck." She explained

"Like?" Now intrigued at what she tried to attempt.

"I don't remember, it's been a long time since I bothered myself with trying to make something useful out of this so you can just ignore It." She said

"Oh alr-, waaaait a minute," I said stopping myself as an idea pops up in my head.

"What?" Aesthyr asked

"You said you were never able to think of anything to be able to make this useful right?" I questioned

"Uh huhhhhh?" She answered confused not knowing where I was going with this.

"I have an idea from my previous world that might work here." I told her

"Realllllllly now? Ok then let's hear It," She said slightly intrigued.

"Ok hear me out what If we were able to put like some sort of thin shield that overlays with the band and by activating It somehow It not only grows bigger, but also starts to unlatch Itself to become a full circle-like shield," I suggested waiting for a response back.

"Huh," Was all she said after a while.

"Aesthyr?" I asked unsure If I was about to be made fun of.

"That's actually not that bad of an idea now that I think about It, yeah yeah! I can see that being possible." She admited

"Really!?" I asked shocked and a bit excited.

"I mean yeah, It's probably going to be a while before we can even begin to work on anything but-"

"Hey Falkor! Come check this out!" I hear Garble call out causing me to turn around as I see him run behind what looked to be some sort of furnace against the wall which was now slightly slanted outwards towards the middle of the room.

"How did I not notice that?" I asked myself as I started making my way towards the others.

"Falkor look check this out, Ember found something that looked cool when she went behind whatever this thing Is," Garble said gesturing to the furnace-like contraption as I joined Ember and looked at what looked to be some sort of armor.

"Ooooooh so that's where It was, was wondering where I had put It when you entered my workspace," Aesthyr said as I looked over the armor admitting to In my head to Garble how cool It looked.

The armor Itself seemed to be placed on some sort of dragon mannequin with the tail included to hold everything up and In place.

Though the more I looked at It the more my eyes widened In disbelief. "No fucking way," I said not knowing whether to be shocked or amused.

"What?" Ember asked confused

"Well remember how I told you guys how Ember was trying to become the Dragon Lord In the story I told you about?" I questioned as they nodded their heads.

"Well In the story, since her dad didn't allow her she disguised herself so she wouldn't be noticed and as her disguise she used-"

"This armor," Ember said as both her and Garble's eyes widened In understanding.

"Exactly." I said nodding

"Well, what does that mean then?" Garble asked

"If I'm being honest nothing really, just I guess now I have an answer to who made the armor In the first place," I said looking down at the ring.

"Well I guess I'm flattered that something I made seemed to be able to reach another universe." Aesthyr said

"Except that like I said no one else knows who made It." I remind her

"Ah right forgot about that part, eh oh well, you win some you lose some," She said not sounding bothered.

"Well at least I have something already made for me," Ember said looking at Garble smugly as he turned his head away looking annoyed.

"Whatever, just wait, when I grow more I'll be able to get something even cooler made for me." Garble said

"Raah," Smolder added seemingly agreeing with Garble.

"Exactly, thank you Smolds," Garble said grinning at Ember as she rolled her eyes.

"Alright well as cool as this place Is we can't do much here so let's head back," I said to them as we head back outside where we are blinded until our eyes are readjusted to the light.

Turning around we find nothing just like when we first got here.

"We should probably do something to make sure we remember where this place Is." Ember said

"Like what?" Garble asked

"Why not carve something Into the rock right here?" I suggested

"Like what?" Ember asked

"Why no-"

"Wait a minute I got an idea," Garble said looking around before finding a decent-sized rock to hold as he begins carving something into the side of the bigger one.

"Annnnd done," Garble said backing up allowing me and Ember to take a closer look.

EMBER AND FALKORS MAKE-OUT SPOT
WILL FORCE OTHERS TO JOIN IN IF SPOTTED

After were finished reading It our faces turned red In embarrassment as we began to hear Garble laughing causing us to turn around as I find him hunched over holding Smolder dying of laughter.

"GARBLE IM GOING TO KILL YOU!" Ember yelled out while her face Is still burning red with embarrassment.

"Got to catch me first!" Garble taunted as his wings flare out before he begins flying away.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" She screamed out before she also joins him In the air as she begins chasing him.

Sighing to myself I look back to the writing as I could feel myself slightly blushing.

"Fucking Garble, you are sooooo lucky I love you, because If I didn't I turn you into mush right along with Ember," I said to myself before I spread out my wings and began to fly after the others to make sure to not let Ember hurt Garble too much.

But I think I can wait a few minutes before I stop her.
