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!"
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wTfNf8SGn
Aurora nodded, her tail flicking with excitement. "I've never seen anything like it. It's like the cave is alive."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yAIG9Fnic
Cole, despite his usual clumsiness, was careful not to touch the fragile crystals. "This place feels almost magical," he said.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCar8imOKi
"Well, it is called the Crystal Caves for a reason," Splash said with a grin, guiding the group toward the heart of the cave.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qXobLqxK5
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrHTNnRK0n
"What the-?" Shadow growled, trying to free himself.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MmPsDOLY0
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."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynxgfG9hXU
Elanor glared down at them. "You tricked us!"
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow1dDRyAv7
"Trust is a fragile thing," Frostbite said, remembering the Snow Dragon's words. "And you've just shattered it."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSs5Lxz5bw
Tiny Wings, still tangled in the net, looked at Moss with tears in her eyes. "Moss, what do we do now?"
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdWP7Ecrb6
Moss tried to calm Tiny Wings. "Stay calm. We'll find a way out of this."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqt5V1Y6eq
Reef sighed. "We really are sorry, but we can't let you get the Dragon's Heart. We have our reasons."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBGaF0DSGb
"Reasons?" Aurora snapped. "You mean betrayal?"
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOtOBU1cu9
Reef and Splash looked at each other, their guilt evident. "We had no choice," Splash said quietly.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TjHKdVlGr
Just then, a familiar voice echoed through the cave. "Well, well, well. Look what we have here. The perfect catch to take to Lumis."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK3p2EdSlA
The Snow Dragon appeared through one of the tunnels.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCblBMaITI
"Hey, now! We caught these travelers first!" Reef hissed.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiIuH2FtXA
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."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2VHGDEHLD
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPLLOS9bqn
The Crimson Fang leader sneered at Reef and Splash. "You think you can just take what rightfully belongs to me? You're fools."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBME6NlDg7K
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmkEyyAZ2r
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXLKQIqxHo
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh4MyJHqkw
"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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1xvQoBl2d
Tiny Wings whimpered, trying to muster the strength to move. "Moss... I can't... I can't move..."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslZswftEo0
"Stay strong, Tiny Wings," Moss whispered, her voice strained. "We'll find a way out of this."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZmDdsKuif
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDOKdMtFHt
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7XSx5CEgf
"Your Majesty," the Crimson Fang leader said, bowing deeply. "I bring you the travelers, captured and secured as you commanded."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzGeOU0NKy
Solara's eyes gleamed with delight as she examined the paralyzed travelers. "Well done," she purred. "You have done a great service to me."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR8kbqzCT2
The Crimson Fang leader straightened, her chest swelling with pride. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I live to serve you."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBzqEdahlP
Solara waved a claw, and her attendants stepped forward, bearing a chest filled with glittering jewels and gold. "As promised, your reward."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTlbFRCRr2
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."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweInzPQmUs
Solara's gaze shifted to the travelers. "Take them to the holding cells," she ordered her guards. "We have much to discuss."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8RQFN5czJ
As the travelers were led away, Tiny Wings managed to whisper to Moss, "We'll find a way out, right?"
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgJyjPbGlX
Moss nodded. "We'll find a way, Tiny Wings. We won't give up."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflaoWAZNbt
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0zU7uvuDR
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."
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGpZKI5osV
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnWtsbOpTf
"Stay strong," Moss whispered through the bars, her eyes filled with worry.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG6MF69f6F
Tiny Wings nodded and stepped out, trembling slightly. Solara towered over her, her presence imposing and commanding.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQABkGMqZU
"Follow me," Solara said curtly, turning and leading Tiny Wings down a long, winding corridor. The guards followed at a distance, their expressions unreadable.
