"Alright.  Tieral will take you to the cave and I will track down the ruffians." she said as she left following the elder's scent trail to his home.

At the elder's home was a pile of broken boards and brick that was once a house. Near the back, several boars were shoved off to the side as someone was digging in the rubble.

Near the back of the pile of ruble, an unassuming aura similar to the elder was show digging in the rubble.

":ooking for something I left here years ago. Now, what are you doing here, feral beast," he said, his voice as poisoness as wolve'sbane, "It's too bad i couldn't catch my father under the bulk of the house. He would have been more use to me dead."

"Look, all I'm looking for is some food I stored here fifteen years ago. The spell i used to preserve it should have keept it fresh until about next week. That's also assuming the building didn't crush her," he said, staeting to dig again, "People are always more use to me dead than alive. Can't say i'm a necromancer though, that's some nasty business right there."

"Then I have nothing left here. I'll have to find food elsewhere than. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some searching to do," he said, tossing one last brick behind him before standing and walking into the forest.

"I better not catch you harming anyome else in my forest." she warned the dragon. 

"Look, if I have a choice between killing someone or picking clean someone who's already dead, I'll go with the one who's already dead. There's a lot less fus over it that way. The only reason this house collapsed is becaused the tunnel under it collapsed when I was trying to get back in," he said, stopping at the edge of the trees, "I don't particularly care who you are, but you have no control over me. This forest belongs to the world, not some self intitled being. Now, unless you want to end up on my menue, I suggest you stay clear of me."

"You are right about me not owning it, but I was chosen by the Earth itself to protect it as well as the beings inside.  You can find all sorts of food here.  But any of the dragons, cockatrices, rocs, unicorns, pumas, and gryphon's are not to be harmed.  I'm just warning you." she said in a kinder tone.

"If I can find where I heard fighting this morning, I wont need to harm anyone, but I will not let myself starve. Don't worry though, cockatrices, pumas, rocs, unicorns, and gryphons are not on my menue. The meat from them don't taste right to me. That, and fur and feathers are a hastle to clean off. Scales i can deal with, fur and feathers are just too dificult for me to clean off," he said, "Since you're the 'guardian' of this forest, maybe you can tall me where that fight was. It sounded like it was a real masacre from where i was."

"Alright.  They are not within my borders, so I have nothing to worry." she said as she began to walk in that direction.  "Come." she beckoned.
