"Don't give me that crap." Xion snarled at the other knight and stretched himself out and started to walk away, not wanting to deal with that stupid elf's attitude.  He'd wait for a few minutes after the guy left, Xion was wary of anyone seeing his real self and wanted to be absolutely sure that he was out of sight before he dropped his concealing spell.   But as luck would have it, his still keen nose detected the scent of the dark elf long before she showed up at the makeshift campsite. And Xion would hustle some, sprinting out into the clearing nearby and  changed forms midway, for a dragon the size of a large town he was quite silent due to a bit of specialized magic he'd applied to himself centuries ago.<br/><br/>With two beats of his massive wings, he was off into the air, catching a thermal and soaring up high into the darkening sky.  He was intent on seeing just what was ahead for them; perhaps even locate the shard from the air so he'd know just where to go.  However, his stomach was pleading for something else and he took off and headed north, clearing a dozen miles within thirty minutes.  He was after the musk oxen the idiot farmers kept around there to move their stocks around from town to town. With the effortless grace of a diving raptor, the colossal dragon dropped out of the sky and blatantly smashed a farming community with his claws and sweeps of his tail, snapping up a few humans along the way as an appetizer.<br/><br/>But in the end he'd grab the three biggest oxen he could find and took off again to return to the campsite, deciding that they wouldn't be well served by scattering to find their own meals, that just left them vulnerable and  open to attack.  The key to their little mission afterall was stealth to a certain degree.<br/><br/>By the time he got back it seemed like the other two had just arrived and were starting to settle in when he dropped the remaining ox to land nearby with a sickening "thud" and fell out of the sky after transforming back into his human form and landed on his feet and produced a hot knife from his belt.  "It's nice to see you again my dear." he purred to the dark elf in a sinister sort of way, before taking to cleaning the thing.
