Aurora confidently walked up to the guards. "Good evening!"
"What are you doing here?" A guard growled.
"I was just searching for spicy berries," Aurora explained, "but I guess I took a wrong turn."
"Oh, no. We have berries! We have berries!" The other guard exclaimed in excitement. "My younger brother here and I, we love berries!" The guards looked at Aurora with rounded eyes. "So what's your reason for collecting specifically spicy berries?" the younger guard asked, genuinely curious.
"I just like their taste!" Aurora explained.

Aurora chatted with the guards. Reef and Splash exchanged frantic glances, their faces reflecting a mix of disbelief and anxiety. Aurora's casual conversation seemed to be working, as the guards' expressions softened, clearly intrigued by the prospect of spicy berries.
"I mean...Emberflares are kinda stupid," Frostbite whispered.
"Well, we can't just stand here," Reef hissed. "We need to move before they catch on."
"Yeah," Splash agreed. "Let's sneak around while they're distracted."
The group carefully maneuvered around the periphery of the chamber, avoiding any further attention. As they approached the Crimson Fang leader and her subordinates, they realized Aurora's distraction had bought them a crucial window of opportunity.
"Alright, time to act," Coral whispered. "We need to get close enough to make a move, but without drawing attention."
They carefully edged closer to the Crimson Fang leader. "Okay, let's try to make our move," Moss said, her eyes fixed on the leader.
They prepared to act, but before they could, the Crimson Fang leader turned and saw them. Her eyes narrowed with suspicion. "What are you doing here?" she demanded.
Reef and Splash froze, realizing their cover had been blown. But before they could react, the Crimson Fang leader's focus shifted to Aurora.
"What's the meaning of this?" she growled, her anger rising. "You bring intruders into my lair?"
The younger guard's eyes widened in panic. "I... I'm sorry, I was just..."
The leader's roar filled the chamber, and the guards began moving towards the group. "Get them!"
The older guard gave a salute with his wing before turning to the group.
"Time to run!" Coral shouted, leading the group back towards the cave entrance.
The chaotic scene erupted into confusion, with Aurora sprinting alongside them. The group raced through the winding corridors, with the Crimson Fang guard hot on their heels.
"Can we ever catch a break?" Elanor panted as they dashed through the dark caves.
"Not until we get the Dragon's Heart back," Reef replied, glancing over his shoulder to see the guards gaining on them.
Splash tried to lighten the mood amidst the chaos. "Hey, at least we won't be running through bone-filled caves for much longer!"
As they neared the cave entrance, Coral led them to a hidden exit, concealed behind a pile of rubble. They squeezed through and emerged into the cool night air.
"Keep moving!" Coral urged. "We need to put as much distance between us and those guards as possible."
The group scrambled away from the cave, their hearts racing as they fled across the desolate landscape. The Crimson Fang guard's roars and the sound of his pursuit echoed behind them, but the group pressed on, determined to continue their mission.
As they reached a safe distance and caught their breath, Coral looked at the group, his expression a mixture of relief and frustration. "Well, that was quite an adventure."
"Yeah," Splash said, wiping sweat from his head. "And definitely one we won't forget."
The group shared a brief, tired laugh before turning their attention back to their task. With renewed determination, they set off once again, ready to confront the Crimson Fang leader and retrieve the Dragon's Heart.
Aurora jerked her head towards the cave as a pouch was thrown at her head. "Hey!" Aurora snapped. But Aurora's frustration quickly turned to joy when she opened up the pouch to find a bunch of spicy berries.
The group's relief was short-lived as they heard the roaring of the Crimson Fang leader growing closer. A young Crimson Fang guard burst out of the cave, clutching the Dragon's Heart in his talons. "ESCAPE! ALL OF YOU ESCAPE!" he screeched before taking off into the sky.
The sight of the young guard's desperate flight left Cole, Elanor, and Reef stunned. Their lack of wings made it painfully clear that they couldn't follow him or reach the safety of the sky.
"Wait! Where is he going?" Elanor shouted, her eyes following the guard's retreating figure.
"Trying to help us, I think," Coral said, his eyes narrowing in concern. "But the leader's not far behind."
Cole clenched his fists. "We need to get moving. The leader will be here any second."
Splash turned to the others. "We might not be able to fly, but we can still run. We need to find somewhere safe to regroup and come up with a new plan."
The group sprinted across the harsh landscape, their hearts pounding as they heard the Crimson Fang leader's furious roars growing louder. Behind them, the young guard's flight grew fainter, but his act of defiance had given them a critical chance.
As they reached a rocky outcrop, they ducked into a narrow crevice, trying to catch their breath and remain hidden. Coral peeked out cautiously. "The leader's still in pursuit. We have to be smart about this."
Moss thought for a moment. "Coal and Elanor, you two get on my back. Coral, you will have to carry Tiny Wings. Splash, you carry Reef."
Cole and Elanor climbed onto Moss's back. Tiny Wings fluttered onto Coral's back. Splash nodded at Reef, who climbed onto his back with a grateful look.
"Alright, let's move," Moss said, her wings stretching out for the flight. "We need to stay low and stay out of sight."
Moss launched into the air. Coral followed closely behind, his eyes scanning the sky for any signs of the Crimson Fang leader. Splash took off right after them, keeping a steady pace despite the extra weight.
As they flew over the rugged terrain, the Crimson Fang leader's roars echoed below. "We need to find a place to land and regroup," Coral said, trying to stay calm. "Somewhere safe where the leader can't find us easily."
Splash nodded, looking ahead. "There's a large grove of trees up ahead. It might provide enough cover for us to plan our next move."
Moss guided them toward the grove, her eyes scanning the ground for a suitable landing spot. They landed gently among the trees, the dense foliage providing a much-needed cover from the Crimson Fang leader's view.
Once they were safely on the ground, everyone dismounted and gathered together. Tiny Wings looked at Coral with a mix of gratitude and confusion. "Why did that guard help us? And what's going on with the Dragon's Heart?"
Coral sighed. "The guard was probably a rebel or someone who didn't agree with the Crimson Fang's way of doing things. The Dragon's Heart is likely being used for dark purposes, and the leader wants to keep it under tight control."
Reef, catching his breath, nodded in agreement. "We need to find the guard and get the Dragon's Heart back. If we're lucky, he might lead us to a place where we can safely confront the Crimson Fang leader."
"First, let's rest a bit," Moss suggested. "We've been running and flying all day. We need to regain our strength."

The group settled into the grove, taking a moment to catch their breath and refuel.
