Shortly after the group arrives, a portal opens and closes. A large black mass moves swiftly through the opening, coming to rest on the sands. As it comes to a halt it becomes clear the mass is a shade about the size of a small horse. It spreads its wings and extends its neck looking around at the group until it spots Yukio.
"I have come, my Mistress, as you requested." the draconic shade calls out to Yukio. The dragon bows its head obsequiously to her and waits for a further command.
