I suppose it's true. Though the logistics implied in a human/Great Wyrm Prismatic Dragon pairing makes me shudder.
...Something tells me that even should all arcane casters in the world unite, that the Grease spell would NOT be sufficient.
"Well if I tried to tell you everything I was thinking about, I would be thinking about different things by the time I finished," he joked, "but in a nutshell I'm just wondering if this is all a great dream, or what I did to deserve someone as amazing as you by my side. I'm also thinking about why we haven't seen any wildlife, but that just occurred to me moments ago."
Shael laughs, wondering just what it is that he finds so fascinating.
"Well, I sort of got dumped into your lap, and I then showed up on your doorstep in the middle of the night after hearing the wildest rumors I have ever heard in a tavern...that is part of how we came together. The other part, I believe, was fate. Now, as to the wildlife- it is rather still. I don't like that much- it could mean that there is something that preys upon weaker animals here, and I don't think I'd care to meet a chrzaak* in full hunger right now- it moves faster than I do!"
Again, creative license. You seem to be encouraging such, so I let my imagination run away with me again. I picture this creature as being something like a wolf, except not nearly as afraid of people, possibly larger, and maybe weird looking in some way- perhaps two heads, maybe an extra limb, or some strange feature such as a split tail, double rows of teeth, or something to that effect. A true predator.

Partly out of paranoia and partly for fear that he jinxed their fortune, Aneld held his hand up and indicated silence. He whispered over, "did you just hear something?"
(OOC: Creativity is good, when you're not trying to amplify sound with wind ;))
"No...but I wasn't listening, either." Shael is now afraid her rambling may have accidentally endangered them, so she falls silent, listening to the sounds-or lack thereof- around her.

They could hear the sound of rocks sliding down the mountainside; whether it was a natural occurrence of if something had cause it was uncertain. Slowly, carefully and silently, Aneld moved Shael against a tall rock, pressing her back flat against it and putting an arm on either side of her.

Aneld nodded with a smile, obviously proud of Shael's stroke of brilliance. With a flick of his wrist, a small rock was blown down the mountainside toward where the sound originated.
A large grey creature pounced on it. Its head was long and narrow with two curled horns stemming from it. Its eyes were large, obviously more accustomed to the light of the night and the creature's lower body was more feline in its structure. The long dark grey hairs on it swayed as it batted its hard paws against the rock, not sure why it was spontaneously flying.
Aneld looked at Shael and shrugged, obviously not knowing what it was.

The creature batted the rock forcefully, sending it flying toward the two pressed against the rock. It turned to walk away, waiting for the satisfying sound of something knocking forcefully into something else.
On reflex, Aneld used a current of wind to blow the rock away which would have almost certainly hit one of them. The creature stopped walking, tilting its head as it tried to comprehend why there was no dull thud of rocks colliding.

Aneld pressed against Shael, flattening themselves together and hoping that they would blend into the rock behind her if they didn't protrude so much..
Shael thinks hard, while keeping an eye on the creature.
It sent the rock back where it came from...not instinct, surely, but it doesn't know for sure that we're here. Its dayvision is probably not the best, but if we wait here for nightfall there will surely be trouble. So...
"Aneld. Flash-blind it. Use my crystal if you have to. Look at its eyes, they're adapted for night. If something extremely bright is flashed before its eyes, it'll stun it." Shael whispers.

Once again, Aneld is impressed by Shael's ingenuity. He leans forward in an attempt to grab the prism from Shael but as he does so, he presses tightly against her body.
Something changed.
As Aneld pushed against Shael, the rock behind them morphed. It was no longer solid as it had been but became the consistency of wet sand. The two fell through it awkwardly, landing hard. Aneld groaned on top of Shael, rolling off to make sure she was okay. When they looked up, they were no longer on a mountain. They were at the entrance to a hallway, well lit by a force they had never seen before and paved in smooth and polished granite.
Shael looks up and her jaw drops open in amazement.
"Aneld...where is this, and how has it been hidden for all this time? Quickly, let's move, before that creature decides to investigate!" She looks up from her vantage point on the ground.

Aneld pointed behind them where the hole had sealed and was now a solid wall, not unlike the ones that encircled them in the hallway, "I have no idea where this is, but I'm sure that the beast won't be following us in."
"This is strange...but somehow, I am not afraid. I have you with me!" Shael is excited. This could be a place never before found, and it was Aneld and herself that finally uncovered it!
"Let's explore, then. Maybe we can find new artifacts!"

Shael nods, takes Aneld's hand, and walks, not too quickly, but looking at the walls and such, to try and figure out if this is a natural formation or if it was carved out of the rock itself, like some other sites she has read about.

Nothing about this place looked natural. Everything was geometrically square and the walls and floor were far too well kept to be a natural occurrence. Hand in hand they walked before they noticed a doorway branching off of the corridor. Aneld looked at Shael with a look that was equally curious and confused before they walked to it. When they peeked carefully inside, it was a nicely cleaned and prepared bedroom.

"I honestly couldn't tell you, and the lights are like nothing I've ever seen before. They behave like little bolts of lightning. Odd" Aneld noted as he looked further down the hallway, "this place is huge!"
"It's still early- we have time to explore, don't we? And a place to rest afterward! Let's go, Aneld, I'm quite curious as to what other wonders await us here."
Shael is almost wriggling like a puppy over the opportunity to explore a place of lost knowledge. She takes Aneld's hand and drags him off, pointing at the strange things she sees.

They were approaching the end of the hallway and a 'T' section. As they contemplated which side to take, something small and shiny sped past the hall and down the right portion of the "T".
Aneld looked at Shael with fascination, "did you just see what I just saw?"
