Aaron on Draco flew over the forest to which the foot trail of trolls who had kidnapped their children led. Draco sniffed the air, searching for the scent of the mysterious attackers, and growled.
- What is it, buddy? Did you find something? - Aaron asked, patting the dragon lightly on the neck. The dragon threw its head to the side and dived towards the ground. Ringo followed, also trying to track Eshter's scent.
Draco landed on the bushy ground, overgrown with wild berries, and looked around alertly, sniffing the air. He looked at the trees and growled, baring his teeth.
Aaron looked at the trees and gasped. All the trees around them were cut, most likely by sharp claws, branches where bent. Even some of the weaker trees were toppled over, paving the path.
- Okay. So that's some clue, just where did they go? - The green knight questioned and scratched his head.
Ringo walked around and sniffed the ground. After a moment, Ikran let out a screech and looked at Draco, flapping his wings and took to the air. Draco squawked in confirmation and began to run after it through the dense thickets of the forest.
- Hey, where're you guys going!? - cried Aaron surprised by the sudden departure of the flying creatures. Aaron took his hover-shield off his back, stepped on it and flew after them.
Ringo landed in a fern meadow in the forest and looked around. He tilted his head to one side and let out a hiss of rage. The whole meadow was trampled by large footprints that oddly gathered around a medium sized earthy hill that was overgrown with yellowed tall grass, some ivy and even had a tiny birch tree growing on it.
After a moment, Draco also ran into the meadow, and started to jump up to Ringo. However, one of his paws snagged on some hard object, causing him to lose his balance. Night Fury lost his balance and fell, rolling on the ground.
He rolled past Ringo, who snorted and shook his head at his antics. Aaron reached them two minutes later.
- Next time you come across a clue, please wait for us. - Aaron said to Ringo.
The bird only hissed at him, showing an array of sharp fangs. The Prince squirmed at him and rolled his eyes.
- We've got a clue. Lots of foots marks... - Aaron said, crouching beside one of the footprints in the muddy ground. - Too big for humans... Almost like giants. All the footprints gathered here. - the man shifted his gaze to an earthy hill with a birch tree growing on it. - Around this hill, then the footprints disappeared into thin air.
Draco approached the hill, smelling the footprints left by the trolls, and began to walk around the hill.
"What do you think that means''? - Draco asked Ringo, who only snorted.
''Some bastards kidnapped kids and disappeared underground.'' - replied Ringo annoyed and snapped his jaw.
