Hunters have been coming to the mountains more and more lately. It was only a matter of time before they decided to hunt bigger game. Hunt dragons.<br/><br/>Egil was always careful when he was out and about, doing his own hunting. He was not completely oblivious to the different traps hunter set out and often thought hunters to be obvious or predictable. But today, he had been given a wake-up call. As soon as the net came down he whipped around to face his attackers. He sucked in air and let out a blast of fire. That usually frightened them off.<br/><br/>But the leader, a woman who looked like she had many years experience behind her, did not falter and her men remained at her side with their shields raised. They had come prepared.<br/><br/>She ordered her men to strike again.<br/><br/>Egil growled and tried to spread his wings but found that the material the net was made out of would not give. The more he struggled, the tighter it became. He tried swiping, and succeeded in slamming one man against a tree hard enough to make noise. But the group had seen an opening and lodges a spear into his flank. The leader had thrown something at him then; the smell of the liquid burned his nose.<br/><br/>He decided to retreat, and they followed.
