Gil and Walker came back to the room at the exact same time. The two exchanged a look and put arms around each others shoulder pushing each other to and fro. This was a bro moment. Both found itical that theypleted their scouting at the same time.


    "Ehhmmdies if your now done flirting..." Remey saw an opportunity to get a good jab in and took it whole heartedly. However the huge smiles and odd postures of the two made Gil and walker freeze.


    "Soo what''s are you guys hiding behind your backs?" Gil noticed Remey and Su using her shield to block them from seeing behind them.


    "Remey I think it''s time." Su looked at Remey and Remey nodded back.


    In unison the pair said "we present the all new Midnight!!!!" From behind them Midnight jumped out. However the stunning part of all this was two small wings down the length of her back. These wings looked to be made of bones. Pure white skeletal bones with a think ck membrane between them making up the wings. The adult scales around where they were attached had white lines through the mainly ck translucent parts.


    Gil and walker were dumbfounded "how! When! What happened!" They were only gone at most an hour or two to scout.


    "As soon as you two left midnight kept rubbing on the walls and trying to scratch her back. She had a lot of loose scales so we helped her and before we knew it we saw her wings poking out!" Su and Remey were absolutely giddy. "We were very worried at first but remembered what you had said."


    Remeys smile was infectious "we were the first to see midnights new wings!" The two seemed to have bonded with midnight through this.


    Meanwhile midnight was prancing side to side showing off her wings. It was obvious she couldn''t use them yet as she needed to develop the muscles. Her pride as a dragon swelled now that she had her wings.


    "Have you guys ever heard of a skeletal dragon before?" Walker''s question caught them off guard. "I saw it in the book I read while looking for information on dragons. They often consume bones in their life and have extremely high defenses. They have wings very simr to midnights. If I were to ce a bet I would say midnights father was a skeletal dragon and she Inherited those wings from her father''s blood. And they look like they have mixed with her mothers ck scales. Between a skeletal dragon and a dark me dragon she would probably be the tougher of the two now because she got the defense of qualities of one and the other.


    The party was enthralled by Midnight''s wings. Normally after seeing so many skeletons seeing something bone like would put them down but this changed their whole perspective. "Wait does that mean she will lose all he ck scales?" Remey seemed dejected that midnight may grow out of he pure ck scales to pale while ones.


    "I''m not sure it seemed like those ones by her wings are a mix. So in theory she''s just getting stronger scales and highlighted colors. I think it looks pretty cool." After Walker''sst sentence midnight puffed he chest up more. She was really enjoying this attention.


    "So Gil while we''re resting again what did you find?" Walker didn''t think the armor was worth sharing since it wasn''t valuable.


    "It was a dead end only another alter with those religious amulet and a few coins. It was a waste." Gil shook his head and looked hopefully at thest hallway.


    "Same here mine lead to some ceremonial armor but nothing else." Walker was worried the third path would be the same and they would be trapped.


    "Well no point in sitting here I''m going to scout thest one. Wish me luck." Everyone gave Gil a nod and a wave as he jumped to action.


    This hallway was much like the others but it slowly became wider the higher Gil went. The roof of this hallway also mirrored the domed theme of the prior room. After an hour of walking the incline had be steeper but Gil could care less about that. He had just found something interesting.


    Directly in front of him was a wall of bones. It would be unusual anywhere but here however the way it was ced made him think there was more to it. Upon investigating it wasn''t aplete dead end, Gil could feel a slight drifting from the cracks between bones. The bones were arranged perfectly with three skulls in the center. There seemed to be nothing concrete holding them together. Gil gave the wall a solid kick and instead of breaking through was met with an unyielding force. This was not just a wall. With this information, he was ready to let the party know. Using the party chat function he told them everything was clear and that he had a puzzle for them.


    Walker wasn''t sure what kind of puzzle Gil was referring too so he doubled his efforts along with the others to get up to him. Upon seeing the bone wall blocking their path Gil stood there like a fool pointing. "No idea how to break this, good luck" Gilughed and sat down to watch Walker work.


    Walker went about the same methods as Gil, noticing a draft from between bones, that nothing seemed to hold it all together, and let a solid kick at it.


    "Pfft that''s not a real hit let me do it." Remey wound up and with a shout unleashed a powerful punch. Her knuckles grinding on the bones. However not a single dent was made. He face contorted in pain almost as if she''d struck the toughest dragon scales. "What in the holy heavens are these things made of? It didn''t even scratch!" She was astounded that her punch was perfectly resisted. However as Remey had punched at the wall a strange thought was urring to Walker.
