The next morning the three woke up in an empty cave and at first didn't even know where they were.
Riddia moaned: "Great! Where ..? Oh yes in the dragon's cave. Oh crap, I fell asleep in the middle of the story!" "Don't worry! Me too.", Lailah tried to calm down.
Cassiel yawned heartily and said, "Nope, you two. You fell asleep on the first sentence."
They both blushed. "I'm more interested in where Scipio is. And I'm hungry! What a piece of meat I wouldn't give!", Lailah changed the subject.
"For example polishing my scales?", They heard a voice from the exit, which threw 4 dead deer into the cave.
Then the dragon came in and used his breath to make a fire.
"So you three, you share one, ok?" Asked Scipio.
"Only one? Why not two, that would be divided fairly.", Riddia complained.
"Hm, okay, but then I can eat one of you too, okay?""replied Scipio.
Cassiel swallowed: "Better not because we'd rather share one. Scipio, I didn't hear your last sentence correctly yesterday. You mentioned some mountain. Which of the seven?"
The addressee giggled softly to himself, like a drum beat for the three angels.
"Well, this mountain has different names. The eighth mountain, the mountain of the firebird, the mountain of the phoenix, the mountain of the mythical / fairy-tale creatures or the ...", explained Scipio.
"Or the mountain what?" Lailah chopped up.
With a big grin, the dragon said, "... God's mountain or God's mountain."
Everyone except the giant lizard opened their eyes in disbelief.
"D-dd-of the G-gg-god you said? But how can that be?", Riddia stammered.
"God is the PHOENIX!" Said Lailah coldly.
Now it was up to Scipio to be amazed, and he wanted to know: "How in three God's names do you know that? I wanted to tell you after you had broken your heads!"
"Logical conclusion," replied Lailah."Hm, another question. Can you take us to this mountain?" Asked Cassiel.
Scipio smiled and said: "Of course, and I'll ask God something too. That is, that you three can stay there."
The angels caught their breath and when Lailah had realized what the dragon had uttered, she jumped at him and said: "Oh, you would do that for us? I will definitely come to visit you every 4 days and in between"
Everyone was happy.
Scipio said in the afternoon: "Come on, get on my back and I'll fly you to the mountain of the highest beast!"
and so Scipio took off.
