Today wasn't going to be a hunt. Today we were tracking a thief. Hunting was fun but could be unpredictable at times. My hunting time is always limited which leaves me with little time to make a single catch. Barbra came up with the idea of making a trap. with a trap we could catch prey and use the remaining time to just scare of some wolves. I got my master to help me in making the trap.
Was the the trap succesful? Of course. But did we get anything? A big fat No. Everytime we get to the trap, there was nothing. We figured maybe our trap wasn't very good but after close inspection we found bear tracks all over the place.Apparently the bear comes for the bounty before we do and drags it away to it's cave. today we were going to track it and take it's life. Atleast barbra was and right now the only thing keeping the bear alive was me.
"let me teach this thief a lesson." she whispered
"no! control yourself. lets see what it does next." I whispered back.
The bear stopped infront of a cave with a dead dear. It then roared a couple of times befor a bigger bear came limping out. It was hurt pretty badly. I recorgnised the wound marks and they were from my trap.
"I did this. he steals from us because we hurt it's mom. He can't hunt so he takes what we caught."
"Don't worry. things like this happen all the time in the wild. It's not your fault." Barbra tried to cheer me up.
"We should stop hunting and destroy the traps." I stood up and walked away."lets go barbra." But she wasn't even moving. Instead she seemed to picking up a scent. Just then something unexpected happened.A huge snake like beast run past us. It was the biggest thing I had ever seen. It's skin was purple-ish. I stared into barbra's eyes and i knew she was thinking the same as i was. Dragons in this parts?
I have heard of different kinds of dragons. And this one was from the wingless race also known as the eastern dragons. These dragons don't need wings to fly. All they need is a good amount of jump and that's all. They have the smoothest yet thoughest scales on their skin. When in the air they move in a snake like manner, from left to right, allowing it to move in any direction. The extremly smooth scales give it access to resist any form of friction. Another amazing fact about them is how they control their weight. When airborne, they increase their lenght by streching out. In so doing distributing it's body weight. With a lesser weight, they can surf the wind all they want.With these abilities they can go anywhere, but it does not explain why it was here . Especially after they were banned from saber by my dad after is victory in the last war between the two races. This could cause a war again if he was to be spotted.
"Lets give him a chase. We might figure out why he is here."
"mm" barbra just gave a nod and lowered here self so i could climb on here back.
The chase was long and troublesome. it kept twisting and turning. You just couldn't predict his next move. It was as if he couldn't decide where to go.
"Hey barbra."
"what, i'm kind of...uh, busy... uh right now!" barbra says while making a lot of complicated turns.
"Do you think it is lost?" I asked her.
"how should ...uh, i know. uh, want to ask?" she says with a grin, clearly indicating what a bad idea it was.But i needed answers and catching up to this maniac of a runner was simply not going to happen anytime soon.
"Hey there dragon! are you lost or something?"
The dragon was suprised to here the question. He knew he was being followed but didn't pay much attention since he didn't consider them a threat. He tried to shake them off severally but these guys were stickier than mud. He was getting pissed by the minute.
He didn't want any of this. His friend pushed him into this sucide mission with hopes of getting the dragon princes and the dragon throne. Their plan was smooth till things started going south. This friend of his would do anything to get the princes even using him as bait...without his permission. After he managed to escape, he run through the forest hoping to make an easy get away, but instead he met this strange duo, who just didn't know when to quit. After an hour of continues running they were still on his tail and now they were they were initiating a conversation. All he wanted now was to reach the shore.
"Do you think it heard us?" i asked barbra.
" How should i know?" she responded. I should have guessed her answer."But i do know we need to get to the shore before it does." she continued.
That was right. The only reason why it hasn't flown away is because of the trees above. Dragon need to get a good jump so the wind could catch them. If he got to the shore before us we wont get our answers.
"Right! lets take the short cut."
"Hahaha. I made it." The dragon said upon reaching the shore. He looked behind but saw nobody."Maybe I lost them. A shame though, i would like to know who they were." he said.
"Well halellujah! your prayers have been heard." I said from behind.
"What!" he exclaimed."You two, I thought i lost you back there." he said clearly suprised.
"Well just because you think it, doesn't make it come through now does it?"I said.I was loving every moment of it.
"And next be careful what you wish for. I might just come true." Barbra added.
"What do you want ?" He asked.
"Greaat." i said. this was going better than i expected. no form of resistance." We want answers to some questions. first of what's your name?"
'This arrogant prick. Does he not know what creature i am. He should be a little intimidate by my size and spiritual pressure i'm releasing right now, but he didn't flinch. My pressure should be enough to drop five to ten soldiers to their knees but this guy was still standing. I understand the saber's ability to resist but the boy was the surprise. I should play along, he might be trouble.'
"kevin. The name is kevin." he replied
"kevin huh, what do you think , that we are stupid! Is that it! Of all the names in tbe world your parents named you kevin?" Barbra said out angrily. I think she was over doing it.
"Calm down barbra, that is the least of our questions okay." I said in a whisper.
"Now that your question has been answered, i'll be taking my leave." the dragon interupted.
"No wait, i have one more question for you." I said hurriedly before it could take flight.
"And what could that be?" he said getting lower. I felt it's hot breath on my face. It was a fire breather.
"why are you in this kingdom? what's your mission?"
"And what will you do if i refuse to say any thing?" The dragon replied with a smirk."Your cat friend doesn't match up to me.I could end her even before a fight happens." Kevin said in a proud tone.
"I wouldn't be so sure, but barbra should be the last thing you should be worried about." I said.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"All i'm saying is that there is someone around more powerful than barbra here that could kill you no problem." I said to kevin while trying to replicate his previous grin.
"And who could that be?" kevin said while looking around.He was clearly searching for people around.
"tsk,tsk tsk." I shoke my head. "Me." I answered calmly." Now quit looking around. You disrespecting me."i said a little bit serious.
"you are the treat? hahaha...you got me there."
I understood why he was acting this way. Usually he should have been able to tell my strenght based on my spiritual pressure.He could feel barbra's pressure but felt nothing from me. So he came to a conclusion that i was just a guy and that barbra was a bigger threat to him than i was. Little did he know that i could hide my spiritual pressure. Which made me the biggest threat around.
"hahaha." i gave off a fake laugh."Barbra please give us some space will you?" I said to barbra
"Just call me when you are done okay" She said and left.
"Don't worry . I'll make this quick."
