As They walked , through the forest Cain questioned" what are we hunting today ".Cain was in unmistakable tired from the walking.
Richard look back at Cain with smile and confident gaze his eyes sharp and his stance frem" anything that poses a threat to us."
"Like what exactly?"
"You see it for yourself.If any even come! I am sure with our Presence alone most creatures in the forest are at hiding."
"Scared? These scared of humans?"
"Yes,it's most natural to be afraid of the species that can kills powerful monsters like dragons."
"Have you ever killed a dragon dad?"
"Yes,but only in self defence of course."
"What do you mean?"
Richard stays silent not saying much.They have already walked a greeat distance as they were talking.
Cain looks back from where they came.Cain feels like every tree is the same and he can't tell how far they are from Bars.
Richard keeps his firm stance as he walks.His face looks every calm without a single hit of emotion but his eyes tell a different story.His eyes dart around everywhere like he is looking at every single detail around him from leafs falling to branchs shaking.
"The wild life seens to be very quiet all this wal..."
"Stop" says Richard with a gaze that is observeing what's happening in front.
Cain looks past his father and see a sight he was not ready to see.
"Get down" says Richard as he keels down and hide's behind a bush.Cain listening to his father gets down and stay behind him.
"Drake's "say Richard as he quietly observes.
They were in and open area with less trees.There are at least 7 of them.4 adults the size of horses and 3 babys the size of small wolfs.They have a sliver armor like back with a sliver tails.There white eyes and Sharp looking teeth are intimidating on its own.
Two of the adults seen to be staying close to the babys while the other two adults seen to be keeping guard.
"Drake's are a part of the reptile race of monsters there closest cousins are dragon and wyrans.They seen to have set rest here."
"So what are we going to do dad?."
"Observe."
"If you look past there intimidating nature there quite majestic, aren't they son?."
"Yea,But how long are we going to stay here?."
"Not for long."
"They sent to just take care of each other."said Cain with a curious gaze at the drake's.
"Are Drake's dangerous to humans?"
"Not normal no,but they can be if you piss them of and that you can in a veraity of ways."
"Including trying to hurt there Young."
"If we are not going to hunt them then way did we bring all these".says Cain being confused at his fathers intentions.
Richard smiles with a grin and says "Ohhh we are hunting but not them."
Then in sudden movement Richard gets up from kneeling and {Thunder spear} as a bright energy flowed into Richards hands it formed a spear,it was velour and as it formed into a spear in an instant it became a lightning spear.
Richard throw the spear at full force.As it flew with almost instant speed it went past one of the adults drakes .
The adults noticed what it noticed was both the spear and the drywolf that was hit by it.
"hmm!? "had not noticed the drywolf behind the bushes there the baby drake's were.
The drywolf had red fare with a blackish colored head.It wass as big as the adults drakes.
The damage from the spell was noticable as a huge portion of the wolfs body was completely chared.
"Didn't even put on a fight".says Cain.He had not seen magic being used in combat until know.
"Ya the speed of lightning is no joke".Richard says this with a calm smile on his face.
As for the Drake's they seen to focus more on the drywolf that was killed.
Richard then went out of hiding and intered the open area.The drake's being alamred of his presence stayed in a guard ready to pounce.
One of the drake's lunged at him with a feras growl.{light dash} Richard dashed at a speed so fast that he completely went underneath the drakes.He was leaving a trial of light behind him.
Richard dashed towards the drywolf ignoring the drake's .Richard signaled with his eyes that Cain should stay put where he is.Cain understood and stays put behind the bush.The drake's where still alert but two adults one went back to the other two drake's that were sheltering there Young.
All fours adults drakes stayed on guard look at Richard with fears gazes.Richard nodded at Cain to get to him.
Cain grabbed the bag of tools and went to his father as fast as he could.As he did so he could feel the gaze of the drake's pierceing with both angers and a little bit of concern.
Cain made it to Richard without the drake's attacking him.
"Good you here know.Give me the small blade and hammer."
Cain did as so and gave his father the tools.Richard start to dismember the drywolf he killed.First he cuts it's skin then takes the fleash out.Some times he breaks the bones of the wolfs to make it easier to cut up.While Cain stares at the drake's.They sent o have calm down slightly,tending to there youngs and sheltering them.
"Why did you?...'
"Kill the drywolf but not hurt the drake's".
"Yea."
Richard give a sigh and exclames "The world is full of the lot of things in this world you rather be a predator or the prey .It's the Nature of survival we should always hunt when it's necessary not when we want to.Drywolfs stomachs are like blackholes there never full and they will eat anything from other animals to even there own kind."
"Is that's why.?"
"Pretty much yea.But hey we got ourselves a good catch."
Richard get done taking the wolfs fleash he puts all the tools back into the sack and puts all the meat in the other sack.
"Ok let's go back home".richard said with a calming tone with the smell of blood on his hands.
"Ok let's go home."
