((Time to spice this up a little, maybe giving her a excuse for a cheap shot.))

Thankfully Madaes had finally left him alone, he could hear himself think once again. Though the two had been friends for what seemed forever... he still thought to this day Madaes talked far too much and about nothing. Though maybe in some cases if he listened more he would have kept himself out of trouble more then a few times. Let alone in this case Madaes gave him a fair warning to a few certain creatures in the surrounding area that were normally here during certain seasons. Even normally peaceful or non aggressive beasts could become so with young involved...

His plans were to pass the time by toying with a few of the scouts. It was all too easy to send them on some wild chase with a few tricks and some tracks to follow. They never had any challenging scouts out here... though they probably needed their best fighters doing other jobs other then walking a path all day long. Oddly though, today the paths seemed empty like maybe the light elves were planning or preparing for something. Maybe it would do a bit of good to scope out a few camps to see if he could gather any information.

Sure it wasn't his job, but he still lived in this area. Just because he refused to wear the Queen's colors or obey orders without getting paid to do so hardly meant he was going to let the Light elves do as they pleased. But in this case he wasn't going to even get anywhere near close enough to a camp to see why the roads were clear and there seemed to be not a enemy in sight. He was distracted from his thoughts by a sudden snapping of a near-by tree. Though it sounded to be a smaller tree it was still something that was not often heard in this part of the forest.

Almost as soon as the sound ran through the otherwise silent forest he had found cover just to be safe. For starters having no idea what had caused the noise, also there was the fact it could be something the Light elves were doing for all he knew. Though he would be considered lucky if it were the Light elves at this point in time. The noise had certainly not come from any Light elf... no it was from a young forest dragon who was making it's own path as it walked.

The beast stood only a mere nine feet tall when on all fours and at least 14 when it stood on two. Covered in green moss and some odd plant life the beast had dirt and leaves falling from it as it moved through the forest. Aside from knocking over a few trees the beast was almost silent and blended well with it's shaded forest cover. The worse part of it was this was just a young one... Though odds were the mother was no where near here. Dragons or at least this type were not known to care for their young.

Though even a young beast could do plenty of damage if it got near a encampment or town. Or if it saw any easy pray, and that would almost be anything smaller then it was.
