Rhythm, The Tailor.

Move to the rhythm
Beat of the sun, moon, stars
Celestial grace

Rhythm opened her eyes. Where was she? This wasn't the Ashfall Waste. Looking around, she noticed she was in a room. A dark room. Two dragons were tied up beside her, a Nocturne and a Spiral. The Nocturne was asleep, but the Spiral was desperately struggling to free herself. Rhythm moved, and noticed she was tied up. "What... Where in Sornieth am I?" She gasped. Just then, the Nocturne woke up. "Oh, great. I'm still here." She sighed, her high, raspy voice annoyed. The Spiral turned and twisted, struggling in vain. "Why are we here? Who are you?" She said, her squeaky voice terrified. "I'm Abrienne. I've been down here for two days now. We're in some kind of cave." The Nocturne replied. "I'm Zary." The Spiral replied. "Heh. I'm Rhythm." Rhythm said. She looked down at her bonds in contempt and blew a steady stream of fire, burning through them. "What idiot ties a Fire dragon up with a silk rope?" She said, amused. Zary stood up, free. "The same idiot who tied a Plague dragon up with vines." She said triumphantly. "Why am I the only one who didn't get bonds she could break through easily?" Abrienne said, annoyed. Rhythm snickered and freed the Nocturne. "Well, we're free. But we're still stuck in this cave." Abrienne sighed. Just then, there was a rumbling noise. "What was that?" Zary squeaked. Water flowed through a crack in the wall and began filling up the cave. Abrienne swore. Zary squealed. Rhythm jumped back in alarm. Zary was panicking. "Oh my Plaguebringer, we are going to DIE! We're all going to drown. That's it." She whimpered, hiding behind Abrienne. "Hey, get off me!" Abrienne complained. Rhythm surveyed the room. The water was knee-high, and quickly getting deeper. The crack had to be a considerable size for the room to fill up this fast. She looked around and spotted the crack, a foot wide fissure in the wall. If there was water, there was a way out. She went to the crack and hit it with her tail, widening it. "What are you DOING?" Zary shrieked. "Idiot, she's getting us out of here." Abrienne said, impressed. Rhythm hit the wall again and again, until it made a hole big enough for her to crawl out. She leaped out gracefully. There was a massive ledge, and they seemed to be behind a waterfall. Abrienne followed her, Zary clinging to her for dear life. "You did it. You saved us!" Zary said enthusiastically. She flew over and hugged Rhythm. "Ugh. Get off." Rhythm said. "Now what?" Abrienne asked. "We should stick together." Zary said. Abrienne looked at Rhythm with admiration. "I wouldn't mind that." She said. Wow, I've already made a friend. Rhythm thought. Abrienne smiled at her and winked flirtatiously. Oh. Rhythm thought, blushing slightly. Maybe more than a friend. "Let's go!" Zary said brightly. And the three dragons were on their merry way.
