I took a perfectly good concept here, and managed to ruin it in the end... ( well, that's a big BLOODY surprise,isn't it). But enough about that.

This is just a minor scene that probably won't even make it in to the actual story, but I tryed it anyways. Basicly there's Jon the winter elf and his green dragon Draghi taking a strol through the forest ( since Draghi became a father, the time he could spend with his master became limited, but they bolth enjoyed this quality time ). But whille they were walking about, they stumbled uppon a camp-site just in time to see it's human ocupants disapear in to the thick of the forest, despite Jon's yeals ( obviously scared atthe sight of the dragon ). After investigation of the actual camp, Jon found that the two humans were poachers ( because there were several animal skins and other trophies like horns or teeth of various animals inhabiting the elven forests. ). This was quite a disturbing thing as they were situated deep in to elven teritory, wich was off limits to most races, especially to humans. Jon will have his dragon pick their trail, but the dragon is not partiuclarly suited to give chase through thick forests. Still they will be stopped none the less by a member of the infamous elven woodland guard ( wich would be the equivalent of the human's border patrols ), who tells them that they were actually tracking the two, in an atempt to find out who was paying the hunters to risk going so deep in elven teritory, and then asassinate the leader behind the raids ( the woodland guard had killed many other poachers, but they just kept coming back... the gold they were payed with by an unknown source was tempting enough to even risk the wrath of the elves ). But Jon and Drtaghi's accidental interfearence would have fooilled the woodland guard's plan, and thouse, all the animals wich were slaughtered by the humans in this little rade, kills wich were done underthe eyes of the guard, in order to track the humans once they got enough, did not yeald anything, and the entire operation was a compleet failyer... but then again, there's always the next time... and with humans... that's going to be VERY soon. After all, elves have the luxuary of time...
