Cedric was getting ready to leave when he heard the commotion.

"What's going on, you guys?" Cedric asked 

Cedric saw everyone carrying the locked chest outside.

"Wh- Why am I even questioning this?" Cedric said and helped carry the chest outside.

"What IS in this chest by the way?"

Drysl stop "Here should be good" he said he then grabbed his two shovels which he used for gardening and threw them to the Cedric and Pick and said. "ok quick dig we have to burry it! Before they hear it!" Drysl's heart was pounding sweat dripped down his face, he was nervous, he could still hear the singing through the crack in the lid. Hopefully if they buried the chest it would not be heard.

Tea looked around unsure of what was going on, "Okay Drysl, what exactly is going on, whats in the chest?" Tea asked. He was a little stressed, and didn't know how to help.

Pick began digging. The voice from the chest rattled him in a way he couldn't quite explain. It made him deeply uncomfortable. He knew what was inside should never be let out, and yet he still wanted to see what it was. It began to eat at him. He might never know. Still he dug, more afraid of Drysl than he was curious about the small chest within the one he opened. Perhaps he would be told the contents if he waited.

The song drifted through the woods, and Pick began to dig slower. His still young elvish mind was on a track, and he couldn't be derailed. It was getting harder and harder to focus on the task at hand. Whether this was the product of the song's possible influence on him or his reckless youth taking over was unsure. He blamed the song regardless.

Pick stopped digging. Could he do it? Surely the small chest wasn't that heavy. He could grab it and run out of here and take it to Adeluna City before Drysl even knew what happened. He shook his head in an attempt to free himself from this train of thought, but did not continue digging. 

Drysl turned to Tea and said "Pick opened the chest and let the song out, when I slammed the lid shut it cracked and the song can still be heard. Now we're all in danger, I'll explain more inside once we have this chest buried."

Tea was a little irritated by Drysl's answer, "Yes, I saw what happened ealier, but I think it's better you tell now why we should be worried." Tea wanted to understand the weight of the situation, having vague unnamed threats doesn't help him.

Tea didn't want to admit it, but truthfully he did want to know what really was in the chest, only for the sake of knowing how he should help his friends if things go bad like yesterday had been, "What is the singing about, who will hear it?" Tea continued to interrogate Drysl.

[OOC: Sorry didn't realize I wasn't on the right account.]

Pick made up his mind, it was easier to bury a small chest than a large one right? His curiosity got the better of him and he decided to take advantage of the situation. While Tea distracted the old man Pick kicked open the chest and removed the smaller chest he quickly examined it. There had to be a seam it made no sense for there to not to be a seam. What was it? The living dragons licked their tounges at him.

Suddenly, fear gripped him and he tossed it into the hole he had started. It was about 5 inches deep and the Chest stuck out of the hole.

"I-I'm sorry" he said finally, "I'm so sorry. I-I didn't know."

"I can't stand this anymore!" Cedric shouted as he was loading his crossbow,

"Give the word and I'll tear this thing to pieces!" Cedric shouted, taking aim at the chest

Cedric was caught up with what happened the day before, and what happened this morning and now.

The singing from the chest was now free it grew loud and stretched out from the forest in all directions. Then a new sound a loud deep roar that shook the ground and the trees. It drowned out the singing, a dark shadow passed over Drysl and the others, and four large silver dragons swooped down from above into the forest. They landed with a crashing boom around Drysl and the others knocking over trees in the process. Then a fifth Dragon swooped down from above. This one was covered In black glistening scaled, and was larger than the four silver dragons combined. He landed on Drysl's house, the house groaned under the weight and then exploded in a shower of wood splinters as the Dragons weight crushed the house. The Dragon walked up to Drysl and the others, "Ssssso thissss issss where you've been hiding it the lasssst few hundred yearsssss Drssssssyl. Got tired of hiding did you? Finally realized how wissssse it would be to let itsssss sssssssong call to me." The Largest black dragon said in a deep rumble voices he then looked at Pick, Tea and Cedric and said "Oh and look you even provided sssssome sssssnackssss, how kind." The four silver dragons looked upon Pick, Tea and Cedric hungrily, drool running from their maws. The large black Dragon looked back to Drysl "I ssssshould punish you for sssssstealing it, but the massssster gave me inssssstructionsssss not too. He wantssssss to do it and he'll not be merciful" The Dragon chuckled as he said this then he turned and looked at the four silver dragons and said "ssssaren, vissssscith, and kylne come with me back to the masssster and kylne you carry Dryssssssl." He then looked at the fourth silver Dragon and said "Vryli my daughter, enjoy thesssssse morsssssselssss you've earned a tassssssty sssssssnack." With that the big black dragon leapt off the ground carrying the singing chest in its mouth, with the two other dragons, and the one now carrying Drysl in its claws. They flew off out of the forest and out of sight. Drysl's house was gone it was a spread of wood splinters all over the ground several of the trees had been knocked over when the dragons landed it was now a large clear opening amounts the trees with Cedric, Pick, Tea and the last dragon Vryli in the center. The remaining dragon Vryli looked at the others and said "Sssssso who should I eat firssssst."
