A thought crossed his mind, if he managed to make the trip to Dragon Ridge when he was a kid, then the trip now should be a cinch. The chances of finding those same dragons from back then were slim, but finding any dragon would be good anyway. He could totally ask them questions that he didnt get to ask, maybe he could write a book about his trip or maybe they already had books written about dragons. Maybe hed find a city of them. Possibilities of what he might find flooded his thoughts.
It was decided. Spike was going to take a trip of his own, a quest even, to Dragon Ridge. To find out more about his species and the dragon culture. To see if all those stories hed read were right or not. Spike became very excited at the thought of it all. He figured hed close up shop (not like anyone was coming) and start packing supplies for the trip. He was old enough to live on his own, so he was old enough to travel on his own as well. He dusted off his old travel pack, and filled it with stuff for a long expedition. He didnt know how long it would be, or where hed sleep, but that was part of the excitement.
He planned to leave first thing in the morning, and make it up as he went along. Thats how it usually happened in his Dungeon Delvers games, so hed just do the same thing but in real life. He finished packing his supplies, and retired for the night to be well rested for the journey. This was going to be his quest and he was going to prove to himself that he was capable and could do things on his own.
