Crom frowned eying the princess warily.  He didn't like what he was hearing, he didn't like it one bit.  All eyes fell on him, some of the hunters frantically shaking helpful hand gestures to keep the red headed warrior princess in the cage.  The large chieftain grunted, and stepped away from the cage leaving it locked. He stroked his long red beard thoughtfully, and then started to chuckle.... the chuckle grew louder and some of the hunters began laugh nervously along with him.<br/><br/>"Hell on a Hay Wagon! I believe you!  If I ever had a son half as mean as you are lass, I would be a damned proud man I would be! Go on have a seat at the fire get a horn of mead and venison!" he guffawed.  "Perhaps it be fate or an omen, a white dragon be on the royal banner and all!"  and then with out another moments hesitation he unlocked the cage door and allowed to her walk out.  "Herman, give the princess back her things! Weapons and all, that'll  remind you ruddy bastards to keep all your appendages your selves!" commanded.<br/><br/>Crom then turned his focus on the naked young male and stroked his beard thoughtfully as he stocked over toward him. Winter yelped in pain as Crom grabbed a fist full his long snow white hair and dragged him over to the cage. Tears streamed down Winter's face as his terrified pitch black orbs stared up the red haired woman.<br/><br/>"Tell me this, what would you be wanting with a dangerious creature such as this here?" he asked with a chuckle. "I be telling you one thing though lass, We ain't untying this creature out here! No that be not be happening. Last we seen him,  he was a snow white dragon the size of a Clydesdale with claws and teeth the size of daggers! Beautiful more terrifying creature I have seen in my life! Scales like white pearls and massive wings  So if we be keeping him alive, we ain't letting him free until we be ready to ride away in a hurry." he chuckled.<br/><br/>Winter sobbed as he dragged by hair and flung into the same iron cage, Aladia had been in only moments ago.  He didn't know what was going on at all. Now that he was in the cage even if he could get of his bonds he still didn't have enough room to shift back into his true form.  The young male glanced around, he was so frightened, and he feared me might wind up like the dear being roasted over the campfire, he just wanted to get out and fly back to the ice caves in the mountains!<br/><br/>Crom grinned over at Aladia "If you can get that creature to speak, we will give it clothes, and if you can assure us it won't bloody eat you or us when it shifts, I might think about untying him."  he laughed as poured himself a horn full of mead from a large wooden barrel resting on a covered wagon. "But it be yours,  so you be in charge of keeping it alive and feeding it and all." he announced.
