( oh look I replied :'D )

It wasn't until she was deep within the forest that her eyes spotted the creature, from afar Judith could hear the thunderous sound as trees bent, snapped and crashed against the earth sending tremors throughout the soil beneath her feet. For a while now she had sprinted silently, her bow held close to her side in her right hand, weaving between trees as she made her way towards the source of the noise. She only stopped when she caught a glimpse of the creature, slowing her pace to a jog as she examined it from a safe distance.

She had never seen a dragon before, only heard of them in tales. Though here was one now, alive and very real. She noted the size of the beast, and finally brought herself to a full halt. It wouldn't be smart to confront it, especially alone, Judith knew that she wouldn't stand a chance. She pressed a shoulder against a tree and peered out from behind it at the creature, taking a few more moments to observe it. Then she clipped her bow onto her back, tightened her gloves and when she got a good grip on the trunk she begun to climb towards the sky.

It wouldn't be wise to confront it and it wouldn't be wise to leave it be either. She would follow it, at safe distance of course, and make sure that it was headed in the opposite direction of the Capital. If it begun to make its way towards the Capital Judith would have to warn the others. She climbed until she was high enough off of the ground and was safely nestled into the top of the tree, hidden by the hundreds of branches and their leaves. She crouched, perching on top of a branch, her knees to her chest and she held onto the branch below her with both hands tightly. Now all she could do was watch and make sure that her people were safe.
