The Dragon become a teenage girl

Chapter 4 - Grey and Yellow

Sabber and Red ran through a dry forest, empty of sounds, no noise was heard by either, the branches seemed drier than usual, they had an almost desert color, even the green of the leaves was dull, and not even some of the sound of birds and animals was heard by his ears, everything around was filled with nature, but they didn't have a great visibility, even the dry bushes of that forest, grew as much as the trees, the ground was hard, and damp, it left soft footprints behind, and Sabber and Red left many footprints behind on that smooth muddy ground.

Sabber doesn't have much physical disposition to run, but he kept at the same pace as Red, soon after they reached a certain distance from Castile village, he was already panting, but he kept running, since Red, didn't let out a drop of sweat, and seemed to have the disposition of a magical beast.

After a while running through the forest that looked lifeless and colorless, like a desert, they found a trail of what appeared to be a camp, there was a certain amount of footprints that rotated in all directions, and apparently, through space. using the weeds that had been cut, the size of the fire and the way the tents were organized, it was likely that there were more than twenty thieves gathered in that uninviting forest.

"Looks like they were here, it wasn't just the three men we saw yesterday at the tavern, there were many more with them" Red spoke hurriedly, she wanted to solve this case soon and retrieve the parchment and continued talking.

"That fire they made is still hot, I can feel its heat, they're not far from here!" As she said these words, she ran even faster, and the Sabber, covered in pain, continued running.

"I can't believe she would definitely be a great adventurer, she seems to have a lot of physical strength and uses magic" Sabber thought to himself as he watched Red, she was still wearing her peasant clothes, and her fiery hair was loose and floated in the wind. , her appearance was that of a young farmer's daughter, a far cry from the appearance of a dragon, or even the appearance of someone strong, but he knew about Red's origin, and was a far cry from being a simple peasant.

"I need to try harder, or I won't even be able to help you like this" Sabber kept thinking and ran as fast as Red.

Little could be seen of the sun, further on, the trees were aged and thicker hulled, a smell of dampness and wet earth covered the whole place and they found something out of the ordinary, it was an entrance of an old building inside the forest, it was made of massive stones, gray and already covered by moss and roots, it seemed to go to the subsoil of the forest, there were small stone ornaments on the outside, they seemed to have the shape of beasts and magical animals, but poyco could be seen, they were covered by roots and some small plants, and a good part of the outside area of ​​the building, was also covered by wild moss and roots, and from the tracks around it, it was possible to see that the thieves had entered that building, perhaps using that place as a hiding place.

"They entered that place, let's go quickly" Red was talking to Sabber and was already walking when he stopped her, "Wait a minute, there are definitely lookouts there, we need to watch a little more" Sabber looks sharply at the place, and doesn't see any spotters signal, and asks Red if she feels anything.

"No need to be afraid, if they are thieves they shouldn't be strong" Red was more confident in his strength, with a more closed look and with a glow, he yearned for battle, but didn't know much about Sabber's world in the same way.

"Many of these thieves are renegade people from guilds, assassins, who steal just to get more resources" Sabber spoke more seriously, as he realized that Red was a little far from the real situation they were in "They are a group with more than twenty people , only you and I can't beat them, we have to act with our heads first" After saying these words Sabber saw Red lower his head a little, as if thinking about something.
