"Huh, Dragons and Dungeons seems like the better option. Yea
let's go check it out." The unicorn faces the direction to the
exhibit and begins a brisk trot. Observing the smaller exhibits
he approaches the large entrance to the Dragons and Dungeons
exhibit, a stone carving resembling a cave entrance. Foxtrot
looks forward and abruptly stops when he sees the front entrance
but continues right afterward into the main display.
Nivalia follows right after, though her attention is more drawn
to the main attraction. She does pause to reach into her bag,
but doesn't take anything out an continues forward. The mare
almost bumps into her sibling when he stops at the exhibit's
entrance. "Hey tr- oh wow." Nivalia says as she examines the
stone detailing. "This looks so realistic. You'd figure they
just cut this off a mountain or something."

The wing dedicated to the exhibit is vast, the ceiling itself
rising three stories up. Lined along the walls are 3 meter high
replicas of various dragons and their lairs. Just in front of
them are plaques providing readers with information. In the
center of the room, and taking up a quarter of it's space, lies
an enormous dragon's skull resting on a bed of gold and jewels,
all found inside a magically secure glass case. The mouth is
half open; levitating behind the rows of teeth is an amethyst of
considerable size.
"Wow. Check out that jewel." Nivalia says as she steps into the
exhibit. "This place is huge! I wonder how long this stuff takes
to set up."
"A few weeks give or take." Foxtrot replies, a few months to
plan out though." He approaches a display of a mountain
landscape, flying over is a brightly colored orange dragon with
purple fins and red wings. 'The Emerald Raider'

Potato is rather impressed by the stone entrance, though he
feels like its not actual stone for some reason. He doesn't
bother to check it, though. Potato follows Niv and Fox to the
"Emerald Raider" exhibit. He looks at it curiously before asking
Niv "Hey, wasn't this dragon in a Daring Do novel or something?
He seems familiar..."

Foxtrot scans the dragon as Nivalia heads over to the center
display, "Yeah, I've heard of that name before but I can't
recall where I saw it." He looks to his left to the next
exhibit, the creature labeled "Sand Sculptor". The dragon itself
is seen piercing out through a sand dune, it's copper pigmented
plates overlap, giving the creature a serpent-like appearence.
The look is more enforced to the fact that this dragon was
wingless, what appears to be spikes run down the length of the
creature.
The description on the plaque below the display reads, 'The
Sand Sculptor has been the legend of caravans throughout the
world, the exact origin being untraceable due to sightings in
major deserts all over the world. These dragons burrow deep
under the sand and form an inverted cone; anything walking
inside that cone fails their footing and falls to the center to
be dragged in by these creatures. The first one slain was
costly, injuring many and killing four before succumbing to its
wounds. The locations of these cones were mapped and quarantined
by officials to prevent further incidents. No one has seen this
dragon's lair or any signs of stashing treasure.'

As Foxtrot and Potato Ponie observe the exhibits around the
room, the mare trots over to the center display. Looking up, she
finds the skull to be three times her height, the fangs
themselves as long as the length of her leg. Plenty of scars are
found throughout the bone, fractured teeth and dulled out horns
show signs of wear both before and after the dragon's demise.
She examines the wealth resting underneath the creatures skull,
rubies and gold all perfectly piled up. What catches her eye
though is the amethyst, levitating just above the razor sharp
teeth.
The name of the dragon is listed only as 'The Elder'. The
description below it reads, 'The Elder is a mature adult dragon.
He has white scales which are unusually thick, and his breath is
a damaging stream of pure magic. He is quite deceptive, and his
ability to work necromantic magic is powerful and dangerous. He
lived in a ruined city in the desert, his hoard is legendary in
size and consists mostly of valuable tomes.'
Nivalia reads the description, her eyes widening a bit before
turning back to the display. "Huh, it doesn't mention anything
about that jewel in its mouth." The mare shrugs, "Meh, it's
probably just there to catch attention."

Potato looks at an exhibit off to the left of the center
display, labeled "The Red-Black." The display shows a small
dragon who is half red on the left half of his body and red on
the right side, with bat like wings and beady eagle eyes sitting
on a pile of valuable gems. The skin looks smooth and leathery,
instead of the usual lizard like scales commonly known to
dragons, and a slender tail. The description of it read "The
Red-Black is a rather unique dragon found around the swamps of
Neigh Orleans. It was reported to have completely stripped
caravans of all their treasures in one swoop then retreat back
into the deep, dangerous swamps. Its appearances were rather
well recorded, with reports of eyes that scanned every movement
made, smooth, leathery skin that could not be pierced by normal
arrows, and bat like wings that silently moved in for treasure.
But it seemed that nopony could agree on its color. evenly
split, half the reports said it was a blood red and the other
half said it was black as night. The dragon was slain by a party
of adventurers utilizing a fake caravan rigged with explosives.
Though even the ponies who saw it after it was slain could not
seem to agree on its color. Even after decades of research,
nopony can agree on its color."
Potato looks up from the description and trots over to Niv and
her display at the mention of the gem in "The Elder's" mouth.
"Seems like its just an attention getter." Potato says. "Though
these exhibits are good at pretty good at attention getting."
The starchy hero adds, pointing the exhibit he just left.

As the patrons enjoy the exhibits, several levels below a crew
if loaders begin unloading the next exhibit for the coming
month. One of the items rests in a small wooden crate etched
with warning labels. A careless step and an uneven hoof causes
the crate to be dropped onto the ground for just a moment. In
that split second, a vibration echoes throughout the entire
museum. Those observing the exhibits upstairs may feel a slight
rumble below their hoofs, but only for a short time. Suddenly,
one of the dragon displays begin to move, then another, and
another. They begin to come alive, roaring little roars as the
dragons take life and begin flying around the large room. Some
begin spewing mini fires while others zoom around, causing a
panic for everyone around.
