Cedric landed in the smoke ridden valley amidst the burnt bodies snatching one of the hunters who had been crawling his way to safety by his legs and taking off into the air, the guttural screams of the man could be heard by Clara and the rest as Cedric flew right above them, hovering above them. With a swift closure of the jaw Cedric ripped the mans legs off clean dropping him to his death. The mutilated body came to a rest right after slamming against a couple of tree trunks splattering itself on the gravel.  Cedric peered down at the rest of the hunters letting out a deafening roar only to fly away. A warning to stay away lest they had a liking to death, course when do dragon hunters ever listen? the last kill had done wonders to their ego's there wasn't a reason to stop now.<br/><br/>This wasn't his first time going up against the hunters, he'd been King for almost a year now and this was his sixth time. Unlike the his hot headed brother Cedric had spent his time evading the hunters and learning their patterns, techniques and hunting paths. By now he had been well aware of all the dirty tricks up their sleeves and perhaps now they would realize that he wasn't just any dragon they could track down and hunt. This time however it was to be different, enough evading the hunters would come to know the truth wrath that he possessed, Taking care of these illegal dragon hunters by himself seemed to be far easier than wasting good men trying to regulate the laws throughout Veasulon.<br/><br/>--------------------<br/><br/>"EY! finally found that flying menace!" One of the hunters dressed in a leather tunic garb called out to Clara followed by a younger Hunter presumably one of the trainees. "Little Jeremy here found its Lair up at Dragon Point strewn with a ton of food its been storing. But here's the kicker its injured. There's a big ol blood trace leading right to it guess one of the hunters must've given it quite the bolt eh? so you comin?"<br/><br/>Dragon's point. A place barren of vegetation, over-powered by the its craggy mountains and grey dyed rocks scattered about it. Clearly not the ideal place for much of wildlife but for Dragons it was one of the only places they could stay at without going through the effort of settling in one of the dense forests in Veasulon provided their huge size. would allow it. Cedric however was the only dragon now and the area was instead entertained occasionally by Wyverns or drakes.<br/><br/>The hunters approached the supposed Dragon Lair, the air was acrid as if someone had opened a butcher house. Inside animal carcasses were littered on top of one another along with the flies whizzing past them but no Dragon to be seen except a dead Wywern's carcass. "A Wywern? since when do dragons hunt those..." The hunter shook his head. "We better spread out and set up a trap before it comes ba--" The ground shook as a distant roar echoed in the hollow lair. Cedric flew past the lair only to whirl around at it crashing dead center at the Hunters crushing two as he landed angling to shield himself from the flurry of bolts landing on his thick scales, whipping his tail at the hunters behind him blowing them off the cliff-side.<br/><br/>Jeremy fell to his back petrified at the Dragon just a few feet away from him squealing as Cedric let out a growl, the heat from it felt like it would've burnt his skin right off. Dragon fire illuminated from inside it as Jeremy peered into the mouth of the dragon crawling aback crying out for his life.
