Immediately, Asterian stopped as he had heard someone approaching from the forest, resting only half way between the soldiers and the figure. His reptilian eyes still flickered from his outburst of rage as he stood staring the figure down.<br/><br/>Asterian signaled his hands to the figure as though he were telling them to hide in the bushes nearby, "go" he whispers, " hide in the bushes before you  are discovered, for you are an outsider and might be subject to search and arrest in these lands due to such a status."<br/><br/>His stance began to shift towards the soldiers again before walking off at them again, slowly approaching with caution. Asterian demanded for the soldiers, "What happened here!?!" To which they responded, "A group of bandits atacked this fairy village, we are...." Asterian interrupted, "Fairy village?" The soldiers began to regain their composure from the surprising entry of an officer, "ye-yes sir."<br/><br/>Asterian began pacing back and forth in front of the soldiers, thinking of the possibility of survivors, "You two, return to base, I shall take the investigation from here. Take the roads, I don't want to risk the loss of more soldiers due to negligence, the bandits could still be around. I hope you know there was a dragon attack on your barracks, severe casualties and the building destroyed." The two soldiers recolied at the words, "Do you believe he has returned sir?"<br/><br/>With that, Asterian immediately commanded the soldiers off.
