"What do you think it is?" Milo asks as him and Ryan walk closer to the archway.
"I'm not sure...but I feel like I've seen it before." Ryan says as he tries to figure out where he'd seen it before. As he is pondering about this, there a rumble and a slight shake as dust falls down from the ceiling of the cave. The crystals inside starts to glow, glowing brighter and brighter before an explosion of light blinded them both momentarily. Blinking their eyes open, they are both greeted with the sight of a yellow vortex filling the inside of the archway.
"This looks like a portal!" Milo shouted alarmed and Ryan have to agree. Behind the portal where the crystals are, they seem to be back to normal and somehow glittering even more than before. "I think we should check it out." he says excitedly making you dumbfounded.
"Are you serious!" Ryan was wide eyed as I stares at his best friend. "What if we die if go through!?"
Milo sighs and rubs his neck gently. "Well you've always wanted to explore more right?" He asks frowning at Ryan. "I know you and this is a chance of a lifetime. What if we never get another chance? What if this is your only opportunity in fulfilling your desire?"
"I..." Ryan couldn't respond because he knows that it is possibly true. He sighs and looks down then back up at the former portal. "I guess...I'm just scared."
Milo chuckles and pat his friend on the back. "And I was scared on climbing cliffs during our first few hiking trips together. This time I'll be the one to support you." He pulls him into a hug. "Besides I will be there with you." Ryan nods and blush slightly at how close they are before pulling away.
"Alright, let's go in then." Ryan takes a deep breath as they step closer. The portal doesn't make any sound aside from a slight humming. It smirks in a hypnotic pattern with a few distortions and it still struck him as familiar. "He goes." He said before they stepped through together. There was a flash and soon everything went black.
As the two humans enter through the portal, a figure sitting high up on a tree branch smirks. Pointed ears stood atop its head with a beastial maw moving to let out a soft chuckle. Jumping down and landing onto soft paws as they walk up towards the still swirling portal.
The figure then snapped their fingers disappear with a bolt of lightning. They entered the portal as another bolt of lightning struck the cave and sealing it close from any unwanted guests.
"Welcome to Wulvaros."
~~:~~:~~;~~
Ryan let out a groan as he slowly picks himself up. He placed a hand on his head as he felt a headache that soon disappear. He blinks as his vision is returning and looking around. He was in a cave that's not full of crystals but instead are filled with lush and unfamiliar vegetation. He frowns a bit as he spotted a few tiny flowers hidden inside a small bush.
"Milo? Are you there?" He calls out to his friend as he looks around the place again and finally spotted something that made his heart race. The figure beside him was on his back and unconscious just like he was but that's not what freaked him out.
The being beside him was covered in dark blue scales from head to toe. White claws tipped his hand and feet along with horns seated stop his head which are also covered I'm scales and as well a draconic muzzle on his face. His body was also built like a bodybuilder with large biceps, huge pecs sculpted legs. He immediately backs away in shock when the figure starts to stir. The figure in front of him was definitely a dragon albeit more humanoid that what he's used to read about. He can also see a pair of large wings on him tucked away on his back.
"Ryan?" The familiar deep voice echoes as he begins to sit up and rub his eyes. "What happened?" He opens his eyes and turn to look at Ryan open to have his jaw open wide in shock revealing a maw full of sharp teeth. "Wha- who are you?!" He roared bolting up in surprise as he stares down at Ryan.
Ryan was confused at that before looking down at his hands to reveal....
