"A white dragon came and carried her away. You heard its roar, yes?" He knew it sounded fanatical but surely the roar would aid his side of the story, besides, why would he ever make such up? It didn't matter now, they were long gone and he was still stuck here! How would he ever get out?

Her affectionately spoken words made his tail wag once more as he smiled softly at her. The goo that poured from his mouth continued to flow as he felt his excitement increasing as she poked her head into the crystal cage. Without being able to help himself he poked his head towards hers and tried to touch his nose to hers, right after he tried to give her a little lick on the muzzle. He was pleased that she had made the jump and stuck her head in the cage for him but he felt bad as she continued to try to squeeze in. "Sister, no! You'll get stuck too!" He didn't want her to be stuck in here with him and felt concern bubbling in his gut but part of him was pleased to have her company. Of all the gembounds in the cave she was the only one who truly made his heart sing with joy. Power? Ambition? It truly meant nothing when he couldn't have her by his side.

Deaf to his pleas the Moon Goddess squeezed in beside him and nuzzled into his fur. He gave a soft "woof", clearly pleased as he threw his head and one paw over her shoulders in a sort of hug. Reluctantly, after a few moments, he let her go so they could search for a way out but if his beating against the crystals hadn't done it he didn't know what would. "But how? These damned gems are hard as diamond!" Then again, it was Zelena, if anyone could figure out how to escape it would be her.
