If Nithe had known better and maybe had actual control, to get Drake to listen to him for once. Things perhaps wouldn't have gone the way they did.
Being a treasure hunter wasn't something he had ever thought he would end up as, but between somehow befriending the tiny drakeling and always getting to deal with the fall out of whose treasure, the little beast managed to get his claws on. This is where he unfortunately ended up.
Chasing the little demon down into a cave system so vast, the way out would not be as easily found. Thank the gods he at least had the brains to mark the walls with something, because the little black and gold drakeling was too invested with whatever makeshift map he had managed to get his grubby claws on. Nithe was constantly having to race to catch up and he was the one with the longer legs for crying out loud. Drake seemed to slow down after a while and all Nithe could hear was some deep breathing… possibly snoring, but it sounded quite loud, that couldn't be foreshadowing could it?
Nothing would have prepared him for sneaking into one of the biggest caverns they had been through in this cave system and almost immediately tripping over a massive scaled tail. Knowing dragons were out there was one thing, but seeing one in person. Nithe can't say he would recommend it. Even with all the gold and everything else, the beast was definitely something else.
Trying to keep an eye on his little companion and an eye on the massive lizard was apparently more difficult than he thought. Seriously who thought he would have to keep gold out of Drake’s mouth. After struggling with the brat and making sure he would stop. Apparently turning your back on a dragon isn't a good idea. Nothing in this world prepares you for turning around and meeting an eye twice the size of you…. How nice it woke up.
He remembers the heat from the flames as they basically ran for their lives. Drake at some point, ending up in Nithe’s arms. Gem, gold and whatever else the little sticky claws had managed to grab, most went flying as he tripped and dodged through the tunnels. The only reason they managed to escape was stumbling across a smaller tunnel that the large beast couldn't fit through. And after grabbing whatever treasure that managed to find its way into Drake’s mouth. They managed to find the exit and get very very far away from that cave system.
Nithe hates talking about this story up, but he will always use it to try and talk Drake out of most of his dumb ideas now.
