Passing through Helloing Mountains when a wolf comes out of nowhere. I draw my sword ready to kill the beast and be on my way but I heard someone behind me. A woman, looks to be no more than 24 years old. Also, she looks like she lives here. She has dark brown hair and pale skin. She has leather and metal armored corset with brown boots and black pants. She has a cloak on with the hood up. There is a dagger holstered onto her belt. And she had a bow and arrow held to my face.

"What are you doing in my woods." she asks. She looks to be intimidated by me. Probably doesn't see much people around here. And of course I am in a hurry and don't have time for this.

"Get out of my way. I have places to be." I tell her.

"Where? Because there isn't anything for you here." she tells me.

"That is none of your concern."

Then all of the sudden a large shadow crosses over us and all you can feel is large gusts of wind. And something lands behind me. The ground shakes, just as it did that day. I slowly turn around and there is a dragon, a big white dragon right there, infront of me.

"Perfect timing Zeriel." she says

"This is your dragon?" I say surprised and curious about how she has a big white dragon.

"Yes he is. So I am going to ask this one last time, what are you doing here and where are you going?"

Of course I don't want to go up against a dragon so I just tell her.

"Ok ,ok. I am headed toward Baron's Watch. There was a rumor there. About a dragon and I am on my way to check it out. But I see that there is already a dragon here."

"A dragon? There are no more dragons. Just this one." she says

"I wanted to get through the mountains before it gets dark but we have wasted quite a bit of time just standing around here so I don't think I will make it through now."

"We?"

"Yes I have a familiar, an eagle."

"Well I can give you some food and shelter for tonight under one condition." she says as she puts her bow away.

"Alight what it this one condition?"

"You take me with you."

"No you can't come with me."

"Why not."

"Because I don't want someone like you tagging along."

"It's not like I'm going to kill you. Even though I could."

She was right, she could have killed me but she decided not to. I guess it wouldn't hurt to have someone like that with me.

"Okay fine you can come with." I say

"Yay. It would be fun to meet another dragon. Anyway, follow me."

"So what's your name?"

"Elizabeth. What's yours?"

"Renier."
