The Dragon Hunt
___________________________________________________________
It all started a day like any other day.. I was hunting sheep with a few companions when we heard a far off roar.. Now at the time we were all very young.. With curiousity pulsing through us, and bravery in our hearts we ventured off into the wilderness.. We arrived at a small stream where i felt warm water instead of the refreshing coolness of the day before.. We followed the stream until it ended into a dark cave, I went in first.. Followed by my freind Raziel the mage, After him came Jhob the poet.. As we ventured in i could smell something.. Something fresh... As we reached the ending to the small dark tunnel we saw something that left a scar in all our hearts.. There was a man.. or should i say part of a man.. he was missing everything from his torso down, Of course we were shocked. We began to see a slight movement in the boulder behind the man.. Then suddenly the boulder was no longer a mear rock, It was an enormous dragon. Us being young didnt even think, we attacked. First was our mage, using petty singes and ignites. As i attacked it, I was slashed, Similtaneously our poet healed me which saved me from death just yet. The dragon then rushed toward our poet with a raging fury. Our poet was struck down with a blast of fire.. As it neared our mage he began to run.. The dragon took flight and was on him in seconds. I ran at the evil beast as my freinds were being eaten alive... Suddenly i seen a War axe fly by me, Now this was no ordinary war axe.. It seemed to be enchanted.. The axe struck the dragons neck as it went for a bite of Raziel.. by this time Jhob was back on his feet healing Raziel so that he could maybe escape death as i once did.. With one mighty blow the dragon was sent crashing to the ground, We all thanked the mighty hero for his deed.. He just looked at us and started to walk off. I chased after him to learn more about him.. When i got there he just asked what i wanted.. I said to him i wish to be like you. His response was "if you wish to be like me.. Then you must follow the ways of the barbarian.. That is all i will tell you.
