"I can't believe I failed yet again," He said to himself as he tried to push away the branches that were lying above him and then stood up from the ground, right after which he patted his whole body down, removing the dust and the dirt that was on him. He then stretched his body backwards, and let out a long and heavy sigh. "Oh well, I didn't expect it to be an easy task, especially after the beating I took last time."
His gaze then shifted over to the ground, which he started scanning with his eyes. All of a sudden, his gaze fixated on something shiny on the ground, and a cold smile appeared on his face as he walked towards it. He then knelt in front of the shiny material and picked it up, bringing it close to his face as he said, "But I guess I won't be going home empty handed today…"
Richard held the shiny material up into the air, which revealed that it was a scale from the dragon's body.
