You two are coming along." stripetail said flatly. Your fire breath can help ignite the grill and ovens. plus you can help carry debris away. We simply need to clear enough debris so that Nick can cook the food."

And Aves can... wait a minute" Nick started, realioxzing Aves was not there. "Where the heck is that fox?" he looked at the others.

"Okay," Spyro said, feeling slightly chastened. He hoped that he didn't appear cowardly to Stripetail.

Sparx stared at Scooby for a moment. "You're hungry and you want to see a boot raid?"

Nick22 · **Reply #402 on:** December 08, 2008, 01:45:53 AM

"You're not being a coward Stripetail said keenly, sensing the dragon's feelings. "The fact is, we need all the help we can get, and you guys can pitch in. We'll probasbly end up with 7-8 peopple coming along, skiince Both Scooby and Dixie will be coming with us.

He's hungry and he wants to se his food made" Dixie replied. "The helmet's he's wearing muffles his words, and Scooby's speaking is often haerd to understand in the best of times.

Drake · **Reply #403 on:** December 08, 2008, 01:56:09 AM

Spyro nodded, his mood improving a bit. The squirrel reminded him a bit of Ignitus.

"So we have the two of us, Douglas, and Nick," Cynder surmised. "And Sparx."

"Sparx is staying right here," the dragonfly said, landing on Scooby's head and crossing his arms stubbornly.

Nick22 · **Reply #404 on:** December 08, 2008, 02:06:57 AM

"Come on, Soparx' Nick said, making his way to the door and opening it . Dixie was next, then Scooby, with Sparx still sitting on the top of his helmet. "Coming you two?' Nick asked looking at the two dragons.

Drake · **Reply #405 on:** December 08, 2008, 02:28:01 AM

The two dragons leapt after him. They fell in at the back of the group.

Sparx whimpering and whining as they went, though if one were to pay any attention to him, they could see that he was just faking it.

"Will you be quiet?" Cynder growled at him. "We don't want any of those things to hear us."

Nick22 · **Reply #406 on:** December 08, 2008, 02:34:49 AM

Scooby waved his ring paw, in front of Sparx, so the dragonfly could see the ring, which was glowing, on it. "ruit rour rhining."Scooby said gruffily, as he walked alongsioide Nick and Dixie. He was hungry and not in the mood to listen to whining from Sparxm, although truth be told he usually complainmed a lot himself when going into a dark house or in a creepy looking cemetery.
_
yeah, Sparx keep it down" Nick said, as he made his way towards the kitchen. The kitchen as we have seen before, was choked with debris. pots and pans littered floor, on top of mithril pieces and broken plates. Insulation from the ceiling hung down in places, giving the feel of desolation. But now, work would begin to carve out a place so peopler could coook some food.

Drake · **Reply #407 on:** December 08, 2008, 02:51:38 AM

"Oh, fine," Sparx said, before continuing. "I'll save my screams for the real thing."

Cynder rolled her eyes at the dragonfly and glanced at the debris littered kitchen. She knew what pots and pans were, but had no idea what a stove was, so she and Spyro set to picking up the pots, going rather slowly because of their lack of fingers.

Spyro yelped as he stepped on a shard of mythril and leapt back to find a cut in his front paw. "What is this stuff?"

Nick22 · **Reply #408 on:** December 08, 2008, 02:57:18 AM

Its called Mithril. its a ore that forms in rocks and is very valuable in magical communities. a handful of them would be enough to set you up nicely for the rest of your live" stripetail explained. the rocks they are found in are very hard and sharp, the edges are keen as a blade. these aee l;eft over from a mithril shower triggered by Aves the fox, whho seems to have vanished without a trace. Probably loafing around some tropical island with as many of these rocks as he could safely carry."

Drake · **Reply #409 on:** December 08, 2008, 03:17:06 AM

Cynder opened her motuh and released her wind breath. The breeze was enough to blow the smaller debris, mainly the mithril into the corner of the room.

"Thank you," Spyro said, still examining the cute in his paw. He licked the wound once, or twice and returned to cleaning.

"He seems to have the right idea then," Sparx said.

Nick22 · **Reply #410 on:** December 08, 2008, 03:24:15 AM

Nick climbed over the pile that remained and reached the stove. there was a pot of cold water sitting on the back burner. "Spyro if you could blow a fireball onto these 4 burners.., he said, turning on the gas first making sure there was no damage hdden beneath the stove. "That would be a big help.

Stripetail gestured and turned a piece of insulation into a chair. "Better to rest my old bones' He smirked.

Douglas went along with the others into the kitchen area. He kept a look out for anything that looked dangerous along the way and while they went and were in the kitchen.

"Maybe he used some of this mithril to buy himself an island or a private pleasure resort and is hanging out there." He said.

Nick22 · **Reply #412 on:** December 08, 2008, 03:41:12 AM

Possible. when and If he comes back, he's going to need all the mithril he took to prevent me from killing him" Nick muttered. "While he's living the good life and getting a tan, and possibly .." he coughed.. "I'm trying to save this place from evil poison-laden Shurlups!

Drake · **Reply #413 on:** December 08, 2008, 03:44:05 AM

Spyro glanced at the stove and released a small torrent of flame. He swept it across all four burners and lit them. "Is that good?"

"He probably did," Sparx said. He eyed the mithril with a covetous expression. Of course, being so small he couldn't carry enough to buy his own island. He glanced over at Douglas. "Hey, I don't suppose you would do me a favor?"

Nick22 · **Reply #414 on:** December 08, 2008, 03:51:11 AM

Nick eyed the flame. "Excellent. you're a natural Spyro. You probably hear thaT a lot.
_ Dixie and Scooby used their rings to move the mithril and debris over into a corner. " Why don't we try melting this stuff down. ?' Dixie asked Stripetail.
"Into a solid mass? You can try , but remember not to try to do too much. You haven't mastered the rings yet, indeed you've barely stratched the surface." Stripetail said, raising an eyebrow at the two great Danes.

Drake · **Reply #415 on:** December 08, 2008, 03:55:59 AM

Spyro chuckled. "Yes, I do."

Cynder paused as she heard movement from beneath a large pile of debris. "Guys? I think there's something under here."

Sparx sighed. "Oh, can't it wait? Breakfast hasn't even been served yet."

Nick22 · **Reply #416 on:** December 08, 2008, 03:58:53 AM

out of the debris burst a Shurlup. It was cut and bleeding, likely from the mithril. "Look, target practice" Stripetail cracked. "First Shurlup of the day' He said rising from his chair..

Kor · **Reply #417 on:** December 08, 2008, 04:05:00 AM

Douglas raised an eyebrow ridge and asked, "What sort of favor?" He asked Sparx.

Hearing what Stripetail said Douglas looked over at the shurlup, "It certainly doesn't look very pleasant." He said in a calm voice, having gotten use to seeing many unusual things in his popping around at random.

Drake · **Reply #418 on:** December 08, 2008, 04:07:59 AM

Cynder immediately leapt back from the creature, landing several feet away from it. Spyro leapt forward, snarling angrily. Cynder noticed that the purple dragon had placed himself between the shurlup and herself. She groaned inwardly at his overprotectiveness.

"Mommy," Sparx squeeked and than dived behind the stove.

Nick22 · **Reply #419 on:** December 08, 2008, 04:11:45 AM

'he loves you, doesn't he?' Stripetail said warmly at cynder.a lesser creature would have peed themselves at the look cynder shot at him, but Stripetail continued to smirk nonetheless.

Great another Shurlup" Dixie muttered.
