The iron caves are home to a den of iron dragons

*Volcana and Echo stop in the caves to rest for a little bit, Echo had fallen asleep*

*the dragon has large iron scales and glowing orange eyes* *it looks at them*

*Volcana now is off the ground*

Echo: uh...

Volcana: let’s just not anger it, we’ll be fine.

*it looks over them as if deciding what to do*

Echo: *confused expression*

Volcana: ...

Dragon: I am not an It.

Volcana: heh.... sorry...

Echo: ...

Dragon: In the future don't make the same mistake. Dragons do not appreciate being referred to as items rather than living beings

Volcana: -_- we just wanted to rest. We’re referred as “it” a lot of times in battle for some reason. We never really cared before.

Echo: Latios is confused! It hurt itself in its confusion!

Volcana: ok, enough Pokemon references. *they fly away*

*fire smoke drifts out of the cave, from further inside*

Volcana: ?

*Echo is snoring now*

Volcana: I’m not gonna be dumb and investigate that.

*faint sulfur smell*

*Volcana moves Echo out of the cave since He is a Grass and Ice type*

*it is coming from deep in the caves*

*Volcana falls asleep outside the cave*

*Echo and Volcana are both asleep*

*a dragon goes through the cave tunnels towards them*

*Echo starts waking up*

Echo: alright... *yawn* I think I’m ready to continue exploring. Volcana what about— *sees Volcana sleeping* never mind then. *he starts to fly but stays just above the ground*

*the iron dragon reaches the entrance of the cave*

*Echo sees the dragon an attempts to wake Volcana quietly*

Echo: Volcana..?

Volcana: *Volcana wakes up* hm? *she also sees the dragon* uh...
