But little did the travelers know, they had just fallen into a clever trap set by Splash and Reef. Splash and Reef used to set traps inside the Crystal Caves all the time as a prank to catch others. But now, this prank would come in handy as a trap.

As the group moved deeper into the cave, mesmerized by the sparkling crystals, Reef and Splash exchanged knowing glances. The travelers were unaware that every step they took brought them closer to a hidden snare.

"Isn't this place amazing?" Tiny Wings exclaimed, her eyes wide with wonder. "Look at all the colors!"
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNxcOpRfhn
Aurora nodded, her tail flicking with excitement. "I've never seen anything like it. It's like the cave is alive."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedpmKoMz0Z
Cole, despite his usual clumsiness, was careful not to touch the fragile crystals. "This place feels almost magical," he said.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwxinWU1NT
"Well, it is called the Crystal Caves for a reason," Splash said with a grin, guiding the group toward the heart of the cave.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhfk7fZvhx
Suddenly, there was a loud click, and the ground beneath their feet gave way. The travelers found themselves caught in a net, suspended in the air. They struggled, but the more they moved, the tighter the net became.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Wosos5Mz
"What the-?" Shadow growled, trying to free himself.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn6xoizjg7
Reef and Splash stood below, their expressions a mix of guilt and determination. "We're sorry," Reef said, "but we can't let you get to the Dragon's Heart."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b7pgfUtQD
Elanor glared down at them. "You tricked us!"
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH69bIIjNr
"Trust is a fragile thing," Frostbite said, remembering the Snow Dragon's words. "And you've just shattered it."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RPigqt8cQ
Tiny Wings, still tangled in the net, looked at Moss with tears in her eyes. "Moss, what do we do now?"
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rqsr718ky
Moss tried to calm Tiny Wings. "Stay calm. We'll find a way out of this."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSawY9e3DK
Reef sighed. "We really are sorry, but we can't let you get the Dragon's Heart. We have our reasons."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqQuJmc0sD
"Reasons?" Aurora snapped. "You mean betrayal?"
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT8zWuxzAU
Reef and Splash looked at each other, their guilt evident. "We had no choice," Splash said quietly.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqruBCfdCK
Just then, a familiar voice echoed through the cave. "Well, well, well. Look what we have here. The perfect catch to take to Lumis."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYodO6aYaBU
The Snow Dragon appeared through one of the tunnels.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IC29ZGNNF
"Hey, now! We caught these travelers first!" Reef hissed.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gpbiGZnQi
The Crimson Fang leader appeared out of one of the tunnels, holding a jewel, her presence both frightening and menacing. "I will take these travelers from your claws."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lo6J1D3IW
The Snow Dragon backed away, knowing how much of a danger the Crimson Fang dragons were. "Nuh-uh! Reef and I caught these travelers! And we will take them to Solara before you do!" Splash growled.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ771cc95I6c
The Crimson Fang leader sneered at Reef and Splash. "You think you can just take what rightfully belongs to me? You're fools."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo7ZvJaz1u
Before Reef or Splash could react, the Crimson Fang leader lunged at them, her movements swift and deadly. With a single powerful strike, she knocked Reef and Splash aside, leaving them dazed and disoriented.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5HdDPFhNy
The travelers, still tangled in the net, watched in horror as the Crimson Fang leader turned her attention to them. She pulled out a glowing jewel from her pouch, and with a flick of her claws, she activated it. The jewel emitted a bright, blinding light that enveloped the entire cave.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gllk0SB7W
When the light faded, the travelers found themselves freed from the net, but unable to move. The jewel had cast a powerful paralysis spell on them.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyz5wQuHaY
"Now, to collect my prize," the Crimson Fang leader said, her voice dripping with satisfaction. She carefully placed the jewel back in her pouch and began gathering the travelers, securing them with enchanted chains that shimmered with a dark, foreboding energy.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt6yn8zcAn
Tiny Wings whimpered, trying to muster the strength to move. "Moss... I can't... I can't move..."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOe49OVWnI
"Stay strong, Tiny Wings," Moss whispered, her voice strained. "We'll find a way out of this."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqWyr3Hg61
But the Crimson Fang leader paid no heed to their words. With a cruel smile, she lifted the paralyzed travelers and began her journey to Solara's temple. The journey was long, and the travelers felt a mix of fear and helplessness as they were carried through the rugged landscape.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNg8LZZfRd
As they approached Solara's grand temple, the Crimson Fang leader's heart pounded with anticipation. She knew the reward for capturing the travelers would be great. She marched confidently into the temple, where Solara awaited her on a high throne.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzLII9DwdJ
"Your Majesty," the Crimson Fang leader said, bowing deeply. "I bring you the travelers, captured and secured as you commanded."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGPPzdTVTZ
Solara's eyes gleamed with delight as she examined the paralyzed travelers. "Well done," she purred. "You have done a great service to me."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8oVFmVIAL
The Crimson Fang leader straightened, her chest swelling with pride. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I live to serve you."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p8eT9KCyZ
Solara waved a claw, and her attendants stepped forward, bearing a chest filled with glittering jewels and gold. "As promised, your reward."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Sm9d9J2aT
The Crimson Fang leader's eyes widened in awe as she accepted the chest. "Thank you, Your Majesty. This is more than I could have dreamed."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0qJEJTi0U
Solara's gaze shifted to the travelers. "Take them to the holding cells," she ordered her guards. "We have much to discuss."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknA1mtN2op
As the travelers were led away, Tiny Wings managed to whisper to Moss, "We'll find a way out, right?"
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhukQ7zlLN
Moss nodded. "We'll find a way, Tiny Wings. We won't give up."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6IOeVI5Pp
As the travelers were secured in their cells, the weight of their predicament settled heavily on their shoulders. They had been betrayed, captured, and handed over to Solara.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfONAFLFB19
A few minutes later, Solara walked into the dungeon, where the travelers were being held in different cells. Solara paused by one and looked down at her dragonet, Tiny Wings. "Let her out. I need to have... A talk with her."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJLJwmVjCZ
The guards hurried to unlock Tiny Wings' cell, their keys jingling loudly in the dim light of the dungeon. The heavy iron door creaked open, and Tiny Wings hesitated, looking at Moss for reassurance.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4do8pH0uW
"Stay strong," Moss whispered through the bars, her eyes filled with worry.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8u3T9kbXU
Tiny Wings nodded and stepped out, trembling slightly. Solara towered over her, her presence imposing and commanding.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8rhZoOkJC
"Follow me," Solara said curtly, turning and leading Tiny Wings down a long, winding corridor. The guards followed at a distance, their expressions unreadable.
