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!"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD8naaG7AW
Aurora nodded, her tail flicking with excitement. "I've never seen anything like it. It's like the cave is alive."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jOCcWcsnd
Cole, despite his usual clumsiness, was careful not to touch the fragile crystals. "This place feels almost magical," he said.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2yIt4mJS8
"Well, it is called the Crystal Caves for a reason," Splash said with a grin, guiding the group toward the heart of the cave.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1M00f3LwW
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELCwxhQ3Cp
"What the-?" Shadow growled, trying to free himself.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4VSnWV6y2
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."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRRQimrDF3
Elanor glared down at them. "You tricked us!"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tRvfBqC5j
"Trust is a fragile thing," Frostbite said, remembering the Snow Dragon's words. "And you've just shattered it."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyYDl1Xrqv
Tiny Wings, still tangled in the net, looked at Moss with tears in her eyes. "Moss, what do we do now?"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡincxaYE9ax
Moss tried to calm Tiny Wings. "Stay calm. We'll find a way out of this."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NqVBQnNwE
Reef sighed. "We really are sorry, but we can't let you get the Dragon's Heart. We have our reasons."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4l5AiKNmv
"Reasons?" Aurora snapped. "You mean betrayal?"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjhuJDQMOX
Reef and Splash looked at each other, their guilt evident. "We had no choice," Splash said quietly.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbT9ktg5Ti
Just then, a familiar voice echoed through the cave. "Well, well, well. Look what we have here. The perfect catch to take to Lumis."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjsrqCEB2c
The Snow Dragon appeared through one of the tunnels.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMnQHj6hSu
"Hey, now! We caught these travelers first!" Reef hissed.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbXlDk0MgQ
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."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wtJXQPnyV
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzgBXL3AjP
The Crimson Fang leader sneered at Reef and Splash. "You think you can just take what rightfully belongs to me? You're fools."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlmulHMISg
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUhBHQ7amE
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJaV4RXyZb
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MU8q0efoV
"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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSg6zZKI77
Tiny Wings whimpered, trying to muster the strength to move. "Moss... I can't... I can't move..."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q2IYwGCbJ
"Stay strong, Tiny Wings," Moss whispered, her voice strained. "We'll find a way out of this."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWD9ve8YAd
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJsKs3B7w3
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6ABfAHjzU
"Your Majesty," the Crimson Fang leader said, bowing deeply. "I bring you the travelers, captured and secured as you commanded."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYWAdYnmkY
Solara's eyes gleamed with delight as she examined the paralyzed travelers. "Well done," she purred. "You have done a great service to me."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fvipqXm7x
The Crimson Fang leader straightened, her chest swelling with pride. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I live to serve you."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlNR0JDVhe
Solara waved a claw, and her attendants stepped forward, bearing a chest filled with glittering jewels and gold. "As promised, your reward."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HvMVXYToM
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."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42OHYqibOp
Solara's gaze shifted to the travelers. "Take them to the holding cells," she ordered her guards. "We have much to discuss."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu5WfX5CGp
As the travelers were led away, Tiny Wings managed to whisper to Moss, "We'll find a way out, right?"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7tc1r70mN
Moss nodded. "We'll find a way, Tiny Wings. We won't give up."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaZpWLcsqQ
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo8xicRCi3
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."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BVmZCZ8wT
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQFzLXXr9n
"Stay strong," Moss whispered through the bars, her eyes filled with worry.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7D7Uk3gl7
Tiny Wings nodded and stepped out, trembling slightly. Solara towered over her, her presence imposing and commanding.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkueR7AhseV
"Follow me," Solara said curtly, turning and leading Tiny Wings down a long, winding corridor. The guards followed at a distance, their expressions unreadable.
