The Dragon Cave Page 1

Towering above you the roof of the cave creates a second skyline of rock. The jutting shards of brown rock lining the rim give the appearance of teeth, of fangs.



With your backpack tightly secured you take your first tentative steps up the sloping pathway to the entrance. Careful to avoid the ankle rolling loose rocks strewn about. The steady dust filled wind blisters your skin, although you find it a welcome relief to the steady burn of the desert sun.



The sun's shadow passes behind you as you enter the cave. As your eyes adjust to the darkness you see two possible paths. One leads upwards via what looks like a staircase of stone, winding around the outer rim of the cave. The other is a pitch black tube in the center descending into the depths.
