My dragon nose has caught the scent of the creature that awaited me at the end of the bridge.. I could see him running as I closed my eyes and captured its scent. The creature is a type of ogre that feeds on humans. My dragon ears could now hear the screams of a village not to far from here. The creature has gone through the village and taken a young boy.

I sprint through the dark forest ever so quietly.. This will be my first hunt as a dragon.. I will not let this ogre harm that young boy. I pass the village where the boy was taken.. I heard screams yet again as I passed on through. I could only imagine what I look like running by..

My Dragon nose picked up a fire being built by the ogre.. I could smell the fear in the young boy building up.. With great stealth I came upon the ogre's camp.. He had already built the fire high using some sort of oil.. The child was very scared and did not look like a human from back home. He had a dark shiny color to his skin.. I suppose the humans left here on this world have also changed with it to better survive its harsh conditions.

The ogre then picked up an axe type weapon and walked toward the child.. His tounge licked all around his gray face.. With no sound at all I swayed my dragon body behind the ogre and stood tall.. The young boys eyes opened in awe and fear.. The ogre slowly turned around and saw what the kidnapped boy had saw.. The ogre dropped his axe and tried to run.. I struck him down and bit into his body.. My dragon teeth had no problem pierceing the tough skin of the ogre. His blood ran down both sides of my mouth! I for some reason loved the taste!
