DragonFyre

Septimus steps through the portal and back into the main hall of RTHQ. Sapphire spots him and runs up to hug him. "You're back!" she exclaims. Septimus takes a moment to register.
"Er, yes, I'm back." he sighs after Sapphire releases him. She looks behind him, as the portal closes.
"Um, where's TrailBlaiser?" she asks. Septimus cringes.
"Oh, she had to finish a few things, back at the Rampant Realm. She, er, won't be here for a while." Septimus explains. Sapphire looks disappointed. "I haven't slept in days, can I just get a moment of silence?" Sapphire face lights up.
"Sure! I can handel things around here for a bit! You can rest!" Sapphire bubbles. Septimus nodds and walks to his room. When he reaches it he closes the door and takes a small slip of paper from his hand. Written on it is "Bottom drawer, key is Magykly Sealed to the back of the mirror, use the orb." Septimus opens the bottom drawer of his dresser to find a single keyhole on the base of it. It appears to be a simple hole, as he can see to the floor through it. He reaches behind the mirror with his hand in a fist around the Orb of River. He whispers a Charm and a small silver key clanks to the ground. He picks it up, noticing the handle is elegantly carved into a lion's head on one side and a dragon's on the other. He inserted the key into the hole at the bottom of the dresser. It glows bright red, then dims, but doesn't go out. He can no longer see the floor through the keyhole, but a pile of papers and notebooks. He empties the drawer, then lifts the base off, to reveal a wooden chest beneath. He checks the underside of the drawer, but it appears as it normaly does. He reaches inside the chest and pulls out notebooks, sketches, and loose paper. A picture flutters to the ground. He picks it up. It is a picture of a teenager. At first, Septimus assumes that it's Leo, but he notices subtle diffrences. This girl's hair is curled with small strands of strawberry blonde in the front. Her face has freckles along her nose and around her neck is a red, glass cross,with flakes of gold and a fold of white glass in the corner. He stares at it, wondering where he's seen it before. He drops the photograph as the memory rushes back to him. A memory of this girl and Leo, sitting on the edge of the Moat on either side of him. The girls are laughing and skipping stones on the water. The girl's name comes rushing back to him. Leo called her simply, DragonFyre. When she didn't call her "Sis."
