She had to find out what Baylor was hiding. As she weaved through the coral, the same odd scent from earlier hit her nose once more. Cordelia followed the scent to the end of Forest of Coral. It continued down a dark ledge. She gulped as she looked down into it.
This was the Drop of Keld. It had been etched in her mind from an early age. This was a forbidden place and no dragon but one, had ever gone down into this place. He never returned…
Why had Baylor come from this direction? Cordelia thought as she slowly made her way down. Thin ribbons of blood slowly drifted up toward the surface. Fear and reason tugged at her tail, trying to get her to go back up. She left reason and continued on. A small cave stretched out to the left of her. She went in for a closer look. Shocked at the scene that lay in front of her, she gasped in horror, and thundered away from the terrible sight.
