"Oh...." Aas sighed in relief, but she couldn't help but feel a little flicker of disappointment that she didn't have the chance to prove herself--to the Royal family, of all people! She shook her head guiltily to dismiss the thought. No one's hurt, and that's all that matters. "I'll go check on them... if that's okay, of course."

Asa grinned, following the other dragon. "Coming!" she yelped. An adventure! she thought happily. Finally!

Food? Even the idea of something to eat made Asa's stomach rumble. "Pastry... maybe?" she suggested. "I can never pass down an offer for food."

Asa yelped in a mixture of surprise and glee and jumped through the portal. With a thump, she landed on top of the Princess, almost squashing her. "Sorry, your Highness!" she gasped, scrambling off the hay bale and tumbling to the ground. Where are we? she wondered, looking around.

Asa's mouth hung open. "On the other side of the world?" she whispered incredulously. "I can't believe it...!" The Royals' powers never failed to amaze her. Asa couldn't even manage to be jealous of Princess Fara's abilities--she was too amazed at the portal she had just jumped through. She had never heard of a place called Taphiass, but if it had pastries, it couldn't be that bad. "Yeah!" Asa cheered, following the Princess. "Onward to food and exploration!"
