I pushed myself up against ICE's back. My nails sliding against his hard yet beautiful scales, I signed and played my head back down onto him.
He was my safe.
My home.
I knew I would go anywhere, do anything for him. All for him. I loved him and I always would.
I'd call it Dragon Love, for that is what it was to me. And Dragon Love was true love in its purest soul bound form, forever bound by blood, love, and soul.
His face was inches from my own and I felt the tickle of his cold nose against my cheek. He purred and his cat like tongue ran against my skin.
"Yuck, ICE slobber."
I reached up and wiped my face off with my sleeve he purred in response.
I laughed and he turned his head always towards the room we were in.

No I take that back.
It wasn't a room, it was a cave five times bigger than ICE.
Lights linked the walls of the room and the rock walls shimmered with a watery look to them.
I un-hooked myself from the saddle and my feet thumped to the ground.
I walked up to the walls, which were watery wet and I ran my hand alone them before looking up at one of the lights.
A cord ran from jar to jar and in the jar were little balls of light.
I take that back too.
They weren't lights but they were bugs!
Tiny little bugs at that, with about five in each jar. There wings reflected the light that came of there body's right below and above there wings and they buzzed with there little yellow green light surrounding each of them like halos.
"

What are they?" I asked turning to look at him and he walked towards me on his four legs.
"Fireflies."
I gave him a puzzled look.
"Bugs that emit light but are only found in warm caves here."
I looked back up at the bugs.
"Its too cold for them where you live." He continued.
Just then the door opened and a little man walked in, I take that back in addition to the two others.
He was a dwarf with curly brown hair and big Brown eyes the color of the earth. He wore a red and Brown tunic and big shoes, probably bigger than my feet.
"Hello..." He paused at the sight of ICE.
"They didn't tell me your Dragon was so big." ICE smiled and the dwarf stepped back.
"That was suppose to be a smile, his way of saying hello." I stepped forward, putting myself between him and my Dragon, not that his size seemed to matter.
"I'm Jasmine and this is ICE." I pointed behind me with my thumb, and the dwarf smiled taking a step forward.
"

Fredrick." He stepped forward and I held my hand out for him to shake but he strapped forward and grasped me in a hug. Shocked I just stood there before putting a hand on his head, he was after all hugging my legs.
People here hug to show there not enemy's.
I looked at him over my shoulder and glared at him.
Well that would have been good to know.
He laughed his growling laugh and Fredrick the dwarf stepped back.
"I expect you'll be wanting to see the rest of the camp?" He walked over to the open door and looked back at me.
I nodded. "Yes please." And walked after him with ICE hot on my heels already changing into his smaller form.
He hopped up onto my shoulder as I followed the dwarf out into the rock hallway and he looked back at me smiling his own smile which was full of buck tooth teeth.
I grinned my own smile and followed him until he stopped at an archway.
I stepped up beside him to look into a mile or so wide cave which was about the size of a large farmers field.
The little man looked up at me and smiled.
"Welcome to the Rebellion."
__________
The cave was full of people and not just any people, different species of people.
I crossed of elves, dwarves, humans, fey, mer, and about fifteen or so others. The mer people were sitting in and on the rocks of a pool with a water fall, there was a river that went right through the whole cave and my eyes went wide as a mermaid dove right out of the water fall.
Fredrick seemed to know what I was staring at.
"The mer have a whole system of underwater caves that travel to all the maid rooms, it's also how we get water into different main rooms."
I looked up and say some of the fey, luckily they all had pants on instead of there famed beautiful dresses.
They were all beautiful though, in there own ways and I was not just talking about the fey but all of them.
They were all part of another world.
Another world I was now part of, my world.
"So we have caves for basically everything like eating, reading, entertainment, but you can learn these when you need to get to them which is my job to export you everywhere you need to be or want to go."
The dwarf looked up at me.
"This is where we farm our crops, thought those doors," he pointed at two double doors on the end of the other side of the cave. "is the animal farms."
"The light comes from reflecting light through mirrors from the upper level and since the sunlight is so bright we only need about six reflecting holes in order for our farms to successfully grow there crops."
I looked up to see what he was talking about and had to shield my eyes it was so bright.
"Where to next?" I asked him and he looked up at me.

"Would you like to meet your parents?"
