The Hunt was an event no hunter wished to miss knowing full well the group that successfully hunted The Dragon would be undoubtedly one of the richest in Domini as was the case for Malcom a veteran Dragon Hunter who together with his group hunted the last Dragon, who was King Baron unknown to them. Now after multiple attempts at trapping Cedric he looked to be the first to make a move, failure wasn't an option this time around. Earlier Malcom had crossed paths with Clara who had beaten him to the hunt the last time despite her failure to hunt down Cedric.<br/><br/>Malcom had jibed at her just as they left the camp. "Let the real men show you how to hunt this time eh?"<br/><br/>This time he looked to be the first one and had set up a trap beforehand in the Dragon Valley, once a place filled with them now only with the one Dragon that would show itself every two months or with a handful of Wywerns.<br/><br/>The hunt was no easy task. Little did the hunters know the kings cursed to be dragons were not just mere dragons, their behavior and their physical appearance took form based on how they were in their human form, their minds while driven by the natural instincts of a dragon still regained some of their intelligence and traits. King Baron had been a terrifying dragon yet his weakness had been his anger causing him to be driven by just that when he would transform. Cedric however was of a strong mind and body, his intelligence was well known in the Kingdom and many among the council had preferred him to be King. This was not changed as a dragon.<br/><br/>A bloody carcass of an elk was left out in the open, surrounding it was dense foliage where the hunters had set up their weapons and of course their prized Dragon Ballista ready to take a clean shot whenever they got a chance. The morning sun climbed slowly devouring the valley a silence established where the only sounds you could hear were the rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds and the tense grunts of the hunters hiding in the bushes. The grunts changed into gasps as a massive shadow emerged into the valley.<br/><br/>Cedric had arrived... the wind from his wings created a strong gust of air throwing the dust into the air. Something was wrong however Malcom squinted his eyes looking at the Dragon hovering on top of the bloody carcass... It wasn't looking at the carcass instead straight at them its eyes sent shivers down his spine and in an instance Malcom's eye's widened he yelled out from the bottom of his throat. "FIRE THE BALLISTA NOW!!" Cedric breathed a pillar of dragon fire straight into the hunters burning most of the bunch into ashes as quick as they could blink, others fell to their death letting in a mixture of blood curdling screams as their skin left melted off.<br/><br/>The steel bolt missed grazing past Cedric's chest as he flew to the left of it , the sheer strength of the maneuver sent the hunters to loose their footing by the strong gust of wind. Cedric regained composure flying up into the air letting out another round of dragon fire from high up in the air continuing one after another flying in circles.<br/><br/>Ash, smoke and fire plagued the valley as the burnt bodies of the hunters lay on the grounds covered by ash and dust, others tried to crawl to safety dying in the process from the massive burns. A pillar of smoke traveled up in the air high enough for the rest of the hunters and Clara to take notice of followed by the burnt ash brought about by the wind and the growls of the very Dragon they had been tracking.
