Reverse likes music
Sleipnir smiled to himself as he took in the pleasant surroundings of Singer’s Brook. It was every bit as lovely as he’d hoped. He settled for a moment, taking advantage of the shelter and enjoying the frogs’ music. Before he moved on, he retrieved a piece of parchment and wrote down a quick note to tell them how much he had enjoyed the song - it seemed like the least he could do to show his appreciation, and he didn’t want to interrupt and spoil the tranquility of the spot.
Leave a note to let them know how lovely their song is

No sooner have you grabbed it than the pile starts moving. You spook... but thankfully it looks like the pile only has a bunch of rats in it. Still, you do not want to bother with the rats again. (Also, the story writer does not want to write an option for you to play with the rat-infested pile. Sorry!)
The wind has died down, so you step outside. The storm has left a mess of tangled bamboo and scattered debris.
You look down at the rubber ducky.

[b]You chose:[/b] Cavern with Music
[b]Your path:[/b] Bamboo Forest
You wander through the cavern noting the wind chimes, wind whistling carvings in the cave wall, bamboo whistles, and bells as you go. There's a seem in the rock ceiling of the cave through which gaps let in small amounts of light, soft soil, rain, and other things small enough to fit through. Glowing crystal torches dot the walls every so often, and bamboo grows in the soil in some of the patches of light, gently rattling together in the odd wind that gusts through the cavern and adding to the song.
You find yourself enjoying the ambiance, the wind consistently changing to play through the myriad musical constructs in a particular melody. You idly wonder what's making the wind move in such a way. Magic? Mechanisms? Other things that start with "M"?!?
You break out of your musing as you notice the music has trailed off considerably behind you, and in place of most of the melody-making installations there are now banners, streamers, and intricate miniature kites, some of which seem to be enchanted. One kite is brightly colored, like a rainbow. Another is shaped like a spiral dragon. There are still bells and chimes every so often too, but it's not the orchestra that occupies the path behind you. A great pinwheeling gyro of wood, cloth, and treated paper spins and spirals, suspended at the center of a bend in the path where the wind naturally whirls, and you would've almost missed the lair entrance on the inside of the bend if you hadn't tripped over the old weathered wooden sign that had once hung over the entry way while you were mesmerized by the whirling contraption. Lucky no-one was watching you... probably. You peek inside to make sure, and are greeted by the remnants of a once busy lair, left to dust and darkness. It doesn't appear to have been inhabited in quite some time at a glance, though one room off of the great-hall has light filtering out from behind a half drawn curtain.
At the very back you think you can make out an entryway completely concealed by curtains. Your amulet glows gently as you step inside the entrance and into the dark interior inside, and you notice what could be a kitchen on your right just at the edge of your amulet's light. Curiosity drives you to:

You follow the water into a more spacious cavern chamber adorn with colorful banners, paper lanterns lit with glowing crystal shards, and some pottery. There's a large pool of water at the center of the chamber. The place looks like it might have been used as a place to draw water a time ago, and, try as you might, you can't tell how deep the pool is. Wind swirls around the dead-end chamber or escapes through small passages too narrow for anything but maybe fae dragons.

[b]You chose:[/b] Dark Tunnel
[b]Your path:[/b] Bamboo Forest
You decide to delve into the dark passage using the the glow of magic from the amulet to light your way. The gentle green glow illuminates a passage littered with tattered and torn mats, and hanging fixtures as you go as well as the occasional smaller branching tunnels. looks like something, or things, rampaged through here. You creep further along and notice what seem to be creature enclosures along the walls of the passage. The passage eventually opens up into a larger cave, and you get the feeling something's off. Maybe it's the old remains of creatures that litter the ground... yeah that's probably it. Slowly, you scan the room, holding you gaze on each enclosure, hoping the shadows stay just that. Shadows. Just as you're shifting to look at another enclosure, something in the shadows of the room catches your eye. You freeze. Okay, maybe this wasn't the best path to take. Let's just-- but as you start to slowly back out of the chamber, one of your claws catches a bone which clacks against the stone as it is sent skittering along the ground. You look down at the bone as panic chills your spine. Hesitantly, you turn to look back toward the out-of-place shadow to now find hungry eyes staring at you.

[i]Aureole blinked at the tenth lake she had passed so far. Her body twisted in agitation, and she could feel herself running down. Her common sense finally grasped out to her; why didn't she make a smarter choice? At least the other destinations had some sort of things going for them. Here, it was as blank as grass could be, only dotted by the occasional lake and cluster of trees. A yawn tumbled out of her and she pinched her scales below her chin to avoid dropping like a dead bug. By Windsinger's tail, why did her inner Spiral have to awaken now of all moments? Well, she could at least make one smart choice today. As she drifted down to the ground, her ears perked at the sound of brash air sounding like hushed words. Was someone nearby?
As she raised her head to look straight, she bit her tongue in shock. Ahead of her, a visible and twisting tunnel as the air bound the sky and the land together for a brief moment laid a frightening sight for sore eyes. It stretched itself down to the earth, spinning an unstable anchor to dirt. A windstorm coming at her while she was barely awake, lovely. Her claws dig into her staff and her palm cups over the pendant, but the map wiggles free from her strained grasp and the windstorm swallows it up. Jaws clenched in frustration, she ducks down, searching for shelter.
She knew better than to wrangle a windstorm like that, especially in her tired state. A branch nearly docks her in the head, and she can't find it in her to not glare a "what is it this time?" at the windstorm when she bites her again tongue in alarm. A gigantic airship, courtesy of the windstorm, airborne and ready to knock any unwary dragons out of the sky. Her eyes scan the land furiously, but nothing looked appealing to survive the wrath of a windstorm. She glances wearily at the airship in defeat but spots a gash in its side. With a flick of the staff, she summons as much gust as His Blessing and her exhausted will could allow. She binds her body like a slink and lands inside the gnash, bumping against the inside wall. Gravity takes over as the windstorm dies down, and she falls with the airship to the ground.
Thankfully, only a few bruises, a injured tongue and sore limbs make out. With the windstorm bellowing outside as a threat to rip her into shreds if she were to so look out of the airship, she decides that exploring could pass the time. She rummages around to see anything of interest, seeing nothing but the familiar green of her birth element and splashes of orange here and there. She muses if taking a nap might yield just as interesting results when her eyes land on a brown knapsack at the deep end of the airship. Without hesitance, she seizes it and tugs the opening to her sides. She identifies two very familiar objects she had seen around being carried by fellow dragons in the plateau numerous times, the Aerborne Gustgather and the Reedcleft Resonance. The latter brings memory to her own version of which was safely back at her residence in the realm. The third object was a simple rubber ducky, with little magic but maximum cuteness.
She decides that non-sensical choices had toyed her curiosity enough given recent events, so she places the rubber ducky away from her. Now, her bias guides a claw to the resonance, but she reasons that any lead to her birth home would do her little good at the moment.
