We walked in to find ourselves in a large room.

"We made it, we're in the treasure room!" Isabelle exclaimed with joy. The room was beautifully decorated with different flowers and colors, different jewels were placed on the walls in flower patterns. There was piles of treasure scattered around the room.

"Let's start packing things so we can leave this place." Isabelle said stuffing treasure into her bag. I just laughed at her smiling happily at the stuff we can take to finally take care of the family.

"What's that?" I asked seeing small white butterflies flying around Isabelle and I.

"What, I don't see anything." she said looking around the room.

"I'm so confused, why can I only see them?" I thought deeply confused. I searched my head for any idea of what they could be but nothing came up.

"What you see flying around are Rukh." said a soft voice behind me. I whipped around to find a large blue women smiling at me warmly. She was very pretty, she had long purple hair and purple eyes. She wore a blue cloth around her chest with a small jewel hanging on it. Two straps come off of the cloth down to her blue skirt, with a necklace with the same small jewel as the other. (picture at beginning for a better description.)

"Hello you two, I'm Angila, the Djinn of this dungeon." she said in a cheerful voice. She had a nice arura around her which was really relaxing to be around.

"It's nice to meet you my name is Ashlin, and this girl here is my best friend Isabelle." I said pointing at my friend that had three large bags of treasure behind her.

"Ah, I don't think we need that much treasure." I said with a sweat drop.

"It's fine, take as much as you want." Anglia said in a cheerful voice. I smiled and nodded at her.

"Yay!" Isabelle exclaimed grabbing some more treasure.

"If I might ask what are Rukh?" I asked watching one flutter past me.

"You see Rukh is the like of souls. While we live, it's every man for them self, but when you die, all go back to one place, this is Rukh. When a human dies, their body's return to the earth don't they? The souls return to the Rukh, the home of souls." she said smiling warmly.

"So what your saying is that the Rukh are souls of people who have pasted away in life." I said as one landed on my shoulder.

"Yes, that is correct, and for you to see the Rukh is a very special thing to have. That is why I will choose you to have the ability to poses my power." She said putting her large hand on my head. My eyes widened on what I heard, I was shocked that I was chosen for this.

"Are you sure, I don't now the first thing about fighting and I'm useless when it comes to helping people." I said looking down at the dragon egg. She just smiled at me and nodded.

"Yes, I'm sure, out of all the people who have faced that same dragon ended up dying, you on the other hand risked you life and saved a poor unborn dragon from having the same fate as its mother." she said lifting her hand away. She smiled sweetly until she turned into a small light an floated to me down to my neck. The area glowed for awhile until it subsided. I looked down to find a eight pointed star printed in the jewel of my necklace.

"I completely forgot I had it on." I said playing with the jewel in my hand. I got the necklace last year for my birthday from my older brother, Kyle. The next day he had to be shipped off somewhere to train and fight in the army, this was all I have of him right now.

"There's a light over there I think it's the way out." Isabelle said grabbing the bags and dragging them over to the light. We stepped inside and slowly floated upwards. I sat down next to one of the bags of treasure with Isabelle next to me.

"Well, that was interesting, I'm going to have nightmares for months now." Isabelle said shivering from the thought of the spiders, I just smiled at her.

"We had a long night, and this is one we will never forget." I said as I hugged the egg in its swaddle. I leaned my head back and slowly fell asleep.

"Ashlin, wake up, there's people staring." I heard Isabelle say as she shook my shoulders. I slowly opened my eyes to find myself outside the dungeon with the sun just starting to rise over the horizon. I quickly sat up looking at all the people gathered around us, whispers could be heard in the crowd.

"Ashlin, Isabelle, are you alright." said someone pushing through the crowd. They got to the front, running to us.

"Oh god, we are so dead!" I yelled at Isabelle signaling her to run for her life. I tried to get up and run, but my parents caught me anyways. Ivy got caught as well, as the both of us were being hugged to death by our parents.

"I'm so glad you're ok!" My mom said hugging me tightly along with my dad. My mom was about the same hight as me with short light brown hair with light brown eyes, she wore a white dress that went down a little bit past her knees. The sleeves of the dress were cut off at the shoulder, she also had a small silver necklace with red Ruby on the end. It cost my dad a pretty penny for that. They separated from the hug until I felt a sharp pain in my face. I heard people gasp at what just happened.

"She slapped me, well I kinda do deserve it." I thought as I rubbed the spot my mom slapped.

"How dare you go into that dungeon, you could of gotten killed in there and dragging Isabelle into it, what were you thinking!" My mom yelled as her eyes were like flames from anger.( lol just like it the anime when the persons gets mad Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ) I hung my head has she yelled at me, but the really scary thing is my dad is standing behind my mom with no emotions shone in his face.

"Oh, I'm so going to be dead here soon." I thought has I hugged the egg. Then my mom went quiet, I looked up at her to see her staring at the egg.

"Ashlin, what is that?" She asked trying to grab it, but I turned so she would touch it.

"It's an egg." I said taking a couple of steps away.

"What kind an egg?" My dad piped up. My dad was a lot taller then me and pretty strong. He had a white shirt that had a V cut at the chest with strings, and brown pants with black boots. He has black hair but is now mainly gray because of old age, a small black beard with gray in it and blue eyes. Everyone was staring at us three including Isabelle and her parents. I looked at the two of them not wanting to tell.

"If your not going to tell, then get rid of it." my dad said crossing his arms.

"No!" I yelled making them jump "I promised I would keep the egg safe at all costs, so I'm keeping it weather you like it or not." I said hugging the egg to my chest. Isabella walked over and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"I don't know what happened when she got it, but I'm going to protect the egg, too." Isabelle said smiling at me, I smiled back happy she feels the same. My parents sighed has the turned to talk to each other about the situation.

"Ok, fine, but we have to know what it is so we can get supplies for it." my mom said, I looked at Isabelle and she nodded her head saying I should tell them.

"Isabelle what about the other people?" I whispered to her.

"Just tell them, everyone is going to find out anyways when it hatches." she whispered back, I sighed and gave in.

"It's a dragon egg." I said like it was no surprise. Everyone's mouths dropped, from shock and fear of the dragonet egg.

"WHAT!" Everyone yelled making me cover my ears.

"Ashlin, we have to get that thing out of here, its putting the citizens in danger." my mom said running to me and shaking my shoulders. I knocked her hands away and looked her start in the eyes.

"I'm keeping it, if they don't want it in the city then I guess I will have to leave." I said coldly. My mom gasped in shock of what she just heard, whispers where going around the crowd again.

"You can't go I forbid it." my mom said trying to grab the egg away. I pulled out my dagger and pointed it at her, she froze.

My eyes were full of anger and sadness knowing that people would be so cruel to an unborn baby dragon that hasn't even done anything bad yet.

"I don't care if you forbid it, I rather leave with this egg then watch it get smashed by people." I said full of anger.

"Ashlin, put that dagger down." my dad boomed and everyone went silent. He was pissed, but I don't care.

"And why should I, she will end up taking the egg and kill the dragon." I said looking at him. He was taken back because I would never rebel against him. I put my dagger down and started to walk away.

"Ashlin, waits!" Yelled a voice in the crowd, I looked over to the source of the voice to find my other best friend Quinn running over to me. She was shorter then me with dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes. She had a long white dress that went to her ankles with straps to keep it up. She grabbed my shoulder trying to catch her breathe from running.

"Ashlin, if your going I'm going." she said standing up proud. I blinked a couple of times before processing what she said.

"Me, too." Isabelle said walking up behind me.

"Isabelle, you are not going anywhere!" her dad yelled. She just turned to him and glared.

"Or what, you going to lock me in my room." she said coldly. Her parents weren't happy, he mother came stomping up to us and grabbed Isabelle's arm.

"You are not going." her mom said angry. Isabelle pride her moms hand off of her arm and looked at her. Her mom turned and glared at her.

"You can glare at me all you won't, you don't scare me anymore." Isabelle said turning around and walking away from her mother. Quinn's parents showed up and asked what was going on. They look at us and gave us a thumbs up.

"Don't incourge them!" My mom yelled,

"Let them go, they are old enough to leave, Ashlin and Isabelle are 18 and Quinn is 17, I think they will do just fine." my father said smiling at me, finally they all agreed. A wagon showed up to help with the money bags. We all went back to the house to pack are things for tomorrow. The three of us are staying at my place tonight. We were in my room laying on my bed with a map roled out.

"So, where are we going to go." Quinn asked look at the map in front of us. I looked at it an idea popped into my head.

"Why don't we go to Balbadd, and take a ship to Sindira." I suggested to the other two, they looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Tomorrow we head to Balbadd." Isabelle said.

"Yay" we all said pumping are fists in the air. "This is going to be a fun trip." I thought as I laughed with the two.
